A few members of the GamesReviews staff, along with myself, made a number of E3 predictions for Nintendo. In general, our predictions were pretty safe. But that doesn't mean we cannot ridicule those that were so far off the map; unfortunately for myself, I think I take the brunt of the ridicule. Regardless, here is how things worked out. I put a score on each category to see how well I, as well as the staff, did.

Even after what most are calling an excellent showing at E3 for Nintendo, the obvious sales issues are still at the top of everyone's news list, at least when it comes to Wii U. Nintendo has done everything within their power to change how the public views the Wii U, but have had limited success. Even after showing off tons of new games, people are wondering why games are not coming out sooner.

If you were hoping to perhaps have the ability to stream some of your favorite Wii U games on Twitch straight form the console, think again. Nintendo has partnered heavily with Twitch for E3 this year, having them be the official broadcaster of all their events, including the Smash Brothers Invitational.

When Nintendo releases a game, it is generally a normal experience. At the worst, it's perhaps a Mario game with a twist, ala Mario Galaxy. However, Nintendo's latest release - yes, this game has been available in Japan for over a year - is completely off the wall. For a title that does so little, Tomodachi Life is insanely addicting, witty, and often downright strange. It does, however, deserve your attention!

Remember those silly mini Toad levels that were scattered throughout Super Mario World 3D on the Wii U. For myself, I always thought they were fun to play, although perhaps to simple. Well, now Toad is getting his own game based on these levels, and it is called Captain Toad.

Although it does not come as much of a surprise, Nintendo announced today that Miis are coming to Super Smash Bros. However, what was surprising is the level of customization available, and that Miis will be competitive when going head to head with some of Nintendo's finest!

After a very disappointing launch in Yoshi's New Island on 3DS, Nintendo is quickly trying to win Yoshi's Island fans back with Yoshi's Wooly World. Wooly World is essentially Yoshi's Island, but the fact that everything is made out of yarn opens up the franchise to new, and welcomed, game play mechanics.

Everyone knew that Nintendo was bringing NFC figures to E3, but they official gave them a name: Amiibo. What sets Amiibo apart? Essentially, these toys will be used across a variety of different titles. Developers will determine how they will be used. The figures will evolve over time, and will have stats based on how you use them.

According to Time Magazine, a much loved franchise is coming back to the Wii U. In a conversation with Nintendo prior to the beginning of E3, Time Magazine was able to get valuable information on Nintendo's latest project: Star Fox for Wii U.

More developers need to do what Sucker Punch Productions is doing: selling stand alone DLC that will go along with their latest Infamous title, Second Son. During the Sony E3 press conference, Sucker Punch showed off a trailer for Infamous: First Light. It appears as if the protagonist in Infamous: First Light will be Second Son, Neon controlling female, Conduit Fetch. Although this DLC is stand alone, extra content will be available to those who own Second Son.
