Emily Rogers, journaliste freelance, qui prétend avoir des contacts chez Nintendo et qui est à l'origine de la plupart des rumeurs sur la prochaine console du géant japonais lance ses 18 dernières rumeurs histoire de redorer son blason face aux internautes qui la traitent de menteuse (et mettent constamment sa parole en doute).
Elle affirme donc que tant que toutes ses affirmations ne se révèlent pas vrai elle ne postera plus rien sur le net. Voici donc ses affirmations:

3DS:
*Paper Mario 3DS coming before Christmas (Before end of 2011)

*Animal Crossing 3DS coming before Christmas (Before end of 2011)

*Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance coming before Christmas (Before end of 2011)

*Mario Kart 3DS coming before Christmas (Before end of 2011)

* Metal Gear Solid 3DS coming before Christmas (Before end of 2011)

* Mario Bros 2D platformer is in development for 3DS. (No release date I know of)

* Metroid 3DS is in development for 3DS. (No release date I know of)

Wii:

* Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be re-confirmed to come before Christmas (Before end of 2011).

* Kirby for Wii will get release date and proper trailer. Also coming before Christmas (Before end of 2011)

* Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story coming to the U.S. before end of 2011.

PROJECT CAFE/WII HD/WII 2:

* There will be over 20 playable games for the new Nintendo console at the show floor.

*I guarantee Pikmin 3 for the new Nintendo console at E3. I was the first person to say Pikmin 3 for the new Nintendo console. I was the first person to say it would be at E3 and I’m sticking with my sources on this one.

*Soul Calibur 5 is a launch game for Project Cafe. It will be on the show floor. Will have exclusive content. Nintendo pushed Namco to make Soul Calibur 5 become Project Cafe’s fighting game for launch the same way that Street Fighter 3DS became the flagship fighting launch title for Nintendo 3DS.

*Ubisoft wants to launch with at least 3 games at Project Cafe’s launch.

*You will see Nintendo sway more toward Western publishers than Eastern/Asian publishers. Nintendo feels that Eastern/Japanese publishers have lost their persuasion over the gaming market. They don’t feel japanese publishers have the appeal to gamers like they did years ago. They feel companies like Activision, Bioware, 2K Games, Rockstar, Blizzard, Valve, Electronic Arts, are dominating the gaming industry. Nintendo feels that North America is a more important gaming market than Japan and they will go to the publishers that appeal the most to North America. Nintendo no longer considers Japan to be as important of a market as they use to believe.

*Nintendo wants to launch the console with a big first person shooter that has a lot of mass appeal. They realize that is a popular genre in North America. Expect a few big FPS games at E3. Nintendo is not stupid when it comes to the appeal of first person shooters. They understand the appeal. That’s why they persuaded companies to like Ubisoft to make Red Steel or persuaded Activision to make Goldeneye 007 for Wii.

*The team that worked on Smash Bros 64, Smash Bros Melee, and Smash Bros Brawl transferred the assets of the game to another developer to work on it. The original Smash Bros team is not working on this new Smash Bros title.

*Rockstar is working on something for Project Cafe. It will most likely not be revealed at E3 because Rockstar normally doesn’t reveal stuff at E3.

* No harddrive. Nintendo chose to go with a cheaper alternative way of storage. This is a fact. Sorry if you’re disappointed. Nintendo would have to make a special deal with a harddrive manufacturer, and they decided not to.

* You will be able to transfer some of your downloadable content (Wiiware/VC games) from Wii 1 to the new Nintendo console.

* Much more improved online system. Nintendo went to another company to help them with their online gaming services.
