"We are hearing from our sources that there will be between ten to eleven Nintendo published retail games shown for the Wii U at E3, with the rest of the Wii U games being third party titles. It seems that Nintendo already knows what titles they will be revealing and displaying at E3 even though E3 is still a little less than three months away. Around 70 Wii U games are currently in development from a variety of publishers, and Nintendo will be publishing/releasing four Wii U games of their own before the end of 2012. We’ve been told that Nintendo is considering keeping the price of the Wii U lower than they want to, and they will release a tsunami wave of 3DS and Wii U software this holiday season to soften the blow from hardware losses.

According to our insider source, Nintendo has at least three new franchises in development by various studios for the Wii U. Nintendo has always been under criticism for recycling their existing franchises over and over again, and it seems that Nintendo may have taken some of that criticism to heart. Nintendo had recently published new intellectual properties such as Pandora’s Tower, Xenoblade Chronicles, and The Last Story for the Wii, and then they published Dillon’s Rolling Western, Pushmo, and Freaky Forms for the 3DS. It seems more evident that Nintendo is pushing harder for new franchises and more creativity.
E3 takes place on June 5-7, 2012 at the Los Angeles Convention Center."

I am so EXCITED to see these new franchies! .

some of it is more far fetched than others, but all potentially possible im not surprised about the 70 + titles, we've already seen so many confirmed

[Tekno]

I know! But im really ticked that some of the franchises won't be getting sequels. I was really looking forward to them on wii u too see how they could evolve from the wii. But 70 games in progress?! Awesomesauce!!!!!!!!!!¡

[esper]

My guesses are, one new franchise for the casual, one new franchise that everyone loves, and one new franchise that gets a big cult following.

[Deadly Virus]

Oh, now this is just too awesome. A whole bunch of old IPs and new IPs in one conference, with third party announcements as the icing on the cake? Nintendo's strategy of keeping everything secret until the day of E3 is definitely working. 2012 is set to be their best year since 2006, maybe better!

[Jakester897]

Frack yeah! Can't wait for June!

[Lord Pickleton]

Nintendo should let their old IPs reveal their new IPs.

The news keep getting better and better. This E3 is going to be better than last E3. Now I have to wait and see if Microsoft will have a tablet controller for their new console.

Crossing my fingers, I honestly hope this is true.

But we have Kid Icarus in March, Xenoblade (North America) in April, and Mah Birthday in May! =O

My guesses are:
Wii U Sports (golf, baseball from e3 2011)
Wii U Play (catch mii, battle mii, etc. from e3 2011)
??? Miyamoto's new game ???

[Terrabyte20xx]

This makes perfect sense. Nintendo is really going to want to pull out all the stops on this one to prove to everyone that they mean business. Especially with Michal Patcther feeding the doom-sayers.

Wow, this is incredible news! 70 titles in development? That's nuts!
Hopefully the software sales justify the hardware loss though.

With an attitude like that, we may actually see a Wii U Sports and a Wii U Play.

Surely those would already be existing IPs though?

E3... GET YOUR @$$ OVER HERE NOW!

We already saw them at last year's e3.
Dunno what you're saying.

It depends on how the writer of that article sees it.

[mootap]

Wii U sports
Retro Studios Project
Myamoto's project

[jono]

As far as the three new IPs go, I predict:

Miyamoto's new IP

A Monolith soft RPG

A downloadable game

Although, if downloadable games are not included here, I'd say it's a Retro title, though I'd rather they work on starfox or Zelda.

My guesses are:
Wii U Sports (golf, baseball from e3 2011)
Wii U Play (catch mii, battle mii, etc. from e3 2011)

Hopefully they don't include Wii ___games as new IPs!
