Financial analyst predicts Nintendo will learn lessons, but shows caution over what Microsoft and Sony have to show...
Macquarie Research, a leading financial analyst firm, has today posted a list of its expectations for next week's E3 event, suggesting that Mario and Zelda could both make the party for Nintendo.
Top of the list is the all-but confirmed PSP Go!, featuring the sliding screen and removal of the UMD drive. Macquerie Research makes their concerns over its possible pricing known, and suggests there will not be a PS3 price cut.
Second is Microsoft's heavily rumoured motion sensing camera peripheral for the Xbox 360. Intriguingly, the article suggests that Microsoft pulled a Wii Remote-like device at the last minute from last year's event, which reconfirms the chatter surrounding the Xbox 360 Wand at the time. Macquerie Research is pessimistic about Microsoft's latest attempt in the shape of the motion camera.
But it's the third listing that provides the most interest, with the claim that Nintendo will unveil the previously rumoured Wii Fit Plus, alongside Mario and Zelda. Wii Fit Plus seems like a no-brainer considering the number of balance boards Nintendo has managed to sell, but having both Mario and Zelda would be quite a significant move for Nintendo and perhaps make amends for last year's notoriously poor show.

hmm this looks like it will b a non cell-shaded game
(just stating the obvious) and think that since it's not it's going to be for a console (ditto) the reason is because the divergence has happend... The elder link timeline appears to be cell shaded (and because the games that have been cell shaded 1 third have benn hand-held) and this will be a Young link / termina link time-line (the reason is the oppisite of the cell shaded LoZ's)... because of this we can guess ganon has been screwing around (after having been revived by some idiot/crazy person) and finally figures out that nobody can kill him if there is no master sword (retarded ganon) and destroys the master sword... after some unforseen (yet totally fine with a LoZ game) causes there to be a "person" inside the sword. Because the female in the artwork has the characteristics of a sword (and link has none) he would be using her instead of the real sword (or some other thing like that... if you have suffered through reading this thank you

Looks good, and I'm glad they're staying with the Twilight Princess look, as it complements all characters visually. As a longtime gamer, though, I must say that chances are I'm going to be dissatisfied with the Master Sword having some sort of personality or characteristics other than that of a magnificent, inanimate, sword. That is, of course, if that's what they're thinking of doing. As well, I'd suggest that perhaps they "forgot" to give Link his sword, but that's highly doubtful, as any respectable artist would never forget to give Link his sword.

It was a good game, but compared to classics such as Ocarine of Time, Link to the Past, and Majora's Mask it wasn't so great.

and also, i gotta know this, whats so wrong with twilight princess anyway? im looking up new loz news and most comments are about how twilight princess sucked. tp was my third time playing a loz game so maybe bcuz im a rookie my opinion dont matter much but i think it was a pretty good game.
so if this is like loz:tp im totally up for it, definetly if midna makes an apperance.

I think that the new game should take place on islands, like wind waker but be tp style. wouldn't that be cool? by the way i think people arent giving majoras mask the attention it deserves. that was a fun game.please don't read the spoiler i wrote unless u have already beaten tp.
