Soooooo, I think Nintendo just won E3 before E3 even happened:

PLAY NINTENDO: NEW GAMES, NEW EVENTS AND LIVE, NONSTOP PROGRAMMING ON TAP FOR E3 2014

Super Smash Bros. Tournament Highlights Nintendo’s E3 Approach

REDMOND, Wash., April 29, 2014 – Over the last few years, Nintendo has repeatedly reinvented its approach to E3 by creating unique ways to break news and get fans at home involved in the fun, while also offering great experiences for on-site attendees. That mission continues in 2014 as Nintendo offers a series of new channels to communicate news directly to its key audiences, including fans, media, analysts, investors and business partners. This includes a new format for unveiling news: the Nintendo Digital Event; a Super Smash Bros. tournament; a full slate of live, in-depth game demos from the Nintendo booth; and an opportunity for fans to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U for the first time at their local Best Buy.

"We demonstrated last year that we are never afraid to reinvent a proven tactic or to break completely new ground if we believe it will provide the best experience for our fans, followers and partners," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's president and chief operating officer. "So, whether you're attending E3 in person or joining online, there's an amazing lineup of games, experiences and events coming your way."

At E3 2014, Nintendo will offer four unique experiences, all under the unifying banner of "Play Nintendo."

Super Smash Bros. Invitational
2014 will see the arrival of not one, but two new Super Smash Bros. games: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. To commemorate this occasion, Nintendo is inviting 16 highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles to compete in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. Thousands of fans in the audience and countless more watching a live stream online will see new Super Smash Bros. characters clash with existing favorites in action for the first time. More important than declaring a winner, however, this event is a celebration of all things Super Smash Bros., and a great way for new and veteran fans to take part in a tribute to this legendary franchise. More information about the 16 invited participants in the tournament, the identity of the announcers, and how fans of the franchise can view the tournament in person and via webcast, will be communicated shortly.

Nintendo Digital Event
Every year, Nintendo looks for the best way to show its games and share its news with fans, media and other key audiences. In 2013, Nintendo decided to forgo a traditional press conference and use a video – in that case a Nintendo Direct – to share its news from E3. The company is building on that approach at E3 2014 with the "Nintendo Digital Event," a new kind of video program that will reveal and provide further detail about the gaming experiences on the way for Nintendo platforms in 2014 and beyond. The Nintendo Digital Event will air at 9 a.m. PT on Tuesday, June 10.

Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3
This year, Nintendo will offer fans a deeper look at Nintendo's biggest games of E3, with information directly from the source. The "Treehouse," the Product Development department at Nintendo of America, will provide in-depth game demos live and unscripted from Nintendo's booth. This new program will be live streamed during all hours of the E3 show. Fans can get settled in, open their browsers and experience the Nintendo games at E3 like never before.

Super Smash Bros. Smash Fest @ Best Buy
In 2013, Nintendo broke new ground by expanding its E3 activities outside of the walls of the Los Angeles Convention Center and letting fans play some of the games being played on the show floor at participating Best Buy stores. The partnership between Nintendo and Best Buy continues in 2014 and will mark the first time around the world that fans have had the opportunity to get their hands on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

New Metroid plz...

Hehe, joking aside, I look forward to seeing how Ninty plays the E3 game. In fact, I'm looking forward to seeing how all the major contenders play it this year, seeing as they've been a bit meh recently.

And here's a hilarious promotional video for it, on Nintendo's official Youtube channel, made in collaboration with Mega64.

REGGIE-FILS-A-MECH FOR SMASH 4 PLS!

[Master]

Yeah, I saw that video earlier, probably one of the funniest things I've seen out of Ninty.

I know it since a while. A true shame because I own a Pro Controller and it is super confortable to play with.

[OCG]

I might try to get red Pro Controller which was bundled in European version of Xenoblade Chronicles.

saw it earlier, and it was one of the most bizarre commercials i've ever seen, but it was still very funny.
in regards to the big N's E3 ideas, I'm very impressed as their ideas seem to relate to those participating in gaming conventions nowadays.

Looking forward to E3 this year!

E3 2014 has been motivating me for months now.

[sonicbrawler182]

Lots of new Mario Kart 8 news. I'm really hyped now. Can't believe I'm saying that about a Mario Kart game.

BABY ROSALINA THO.

Also, it helps that I get a free game!
Because if you buy Mario Kart 8 before the end of July, and have a Club Nintendo account, you can get a promotional code that will allow you to receive another Wii U game from a select list on the Nintendo eShop, completely free of charge.

[Master]

Baby Rosalina? She's getting into the big leagues, huh?

So, a freebie, anything on the list that takes your fancy, Brawler?

[OCG]

A bit off topic, but have you guys seen IGN's Kirby Triple Deluxe review?

[Master]

I have, not really bothered about it though.

[OCG]

They clearly have double standards in my opinion. In Kirby's Epic Yarn review they gave it 9 out of 10 and did not complain about being too easy yet they did in Triple Deluxe. It makes no sense at all.

I already have a bunch of the games on the list, but the remaining games are all ones I was thinking about getting some day. I'll probably take Wonderful 101 or Monster Hunter. Maybe even Nintendo Land.

It's more the fact that they use an "objective" scoring system in combination with assigning reviewers to games they would not like.

Also, they used the word "campaign" when talking about a Kirby game. And intentionally swam to their death at one part.

So, that image of the MK roster posted above, is that of the whole lot? If so, I think it's been completely filled now.

This is the most up to date roster:



However, Nintendo has teased that there are more to come. This either means you can unlock more, or there will be DLC.

It should also be noted that MK Wii did not have any indicators that hidden characters existed in the game when you start a new file. So we could see unlockables. I see room for at least another row of characters.
