Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks were announced at GDC. Zelda 3DS maybe? :3

Something like this ^

I would expect to see some new 3DS games, and possibly a new Wii U game. I keep thinking of Zelda for GDC because we have heard some Zelda news over the months reguarding games for the 3DS and Wii U.

It's possible they could also announce the new name for the Wii U (if that rumor is true), they would want people to get the name to sink in so they would have more time to tell people this is a whole new console.

[Soul]

Things they'll likely announce.

2 or 3 confirmed first party games.
New name.
A couple of changes in the system.
The new features that only some people (like us) know.
A taste of what Nintendo Network will be like.
3ds Games.
3ds system changes.
The Holiday season release for WiiU.

What I want:
Colors
More price info
A few 3rd party games

They don't usually go unless they get a keynote speech. Last year Iwata had a keynote. This year a massive show floor space. The size alone means Wii U since they need space for TV's, they wouldn't need as much space for 3DS'. They rarely announce things at GDC, but they may have started a new trend for themselves last year. GDC isn't about consumers though, so I'm expecting Nintendo Network details, and some info on specs for the Wii U if anything's changedand whatnot. Developer stuff.

^^This. So wish I could be a developer!

This is what they did for the Wii.
Possible indeed!

Nintendo, we want Wii U news not Super Mario 3D Land news.

Possible indeed!

Even though the news I posted I still hope it happens.

Pretty much agree with what most people have said. We won't see too much but we may be pleasantly surprised. I'm actually expecting Zelda 3DS news. It's been in development for a while now.

I would not keep your hopes up for Zelda 3DS news at GDC because I think's it's to early after SS, apparently Zelda Wii U development started right when Zelda 3DS development started, so maybe they want to announce them around the same time.

If it does happen, it'll probably be during the Keynote.

Those are keynote speeches.
Remember last year Iwata's speech was on low-cost game ruining the industry, yet he announced 3dland.

- show floor will display 3DS titles

This part is sad, but it doesn't rule out Wii U details or floor space.

That is true, I mean it says "show floor will display 3DS titles" not "only show floor will display 3DS titles" so maybe they will have Wii U stuff...I hope.

[Reaper Pin]

Possible change in controller?

No.

[Nollog]

No.

They already added NFC, so it has changed. You are wrong.

[Marc]

Hold on though, a new change in the controller since that, which hasn't been officially announced yet. He wasn't suggesting that the controller hasn't or will not be changed, just that we aren't to expect an announcement on changes furthermore.

[Nollog]

The vast majority of the Wii U could have changed since e3, and we wouldn't know since they told us so little about it.

[Auzzie Wingman]

When is this again?

[Joshua]

When is this again?

GDC is on during March 5 to March 9, mate.

Zelda 3DS = Majoras Mask/sequel FTW

Zelda 3DS = Majoras Mask/sequel FTW

Nintendo is planning to work on a Majora's Mask remake after an original Zelda 3DS title is done.

[Zok]

I'm hoping for them to go over the Nintendo network in great detail.
