Though it intends to participate in E3 unconventionally Nintendo won't lack its signature hits once the digital presentation begins. One of its biggest draws in 2014 is the Super Smash Bros. Wii U Invitational Tournament which pits 16 players against each other in the new version of the classic brawler. Mark your calendars now, this tournament kicks off at 4PM PST, and will be streaming on Nintendo's Twitch.tv channel.
Note: We'll routinely update this page to reflect announcements and information.

What we hope to see
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Nintendo will show a lot of games at E3, but Smash Bros. is its crown jewel. The Big N is riding off a wave of good buzz following the release of Mario Kart 8 and it hopes Super Smash Bros. Wii U will help it start selling a few more Wii U's this year. Expect a lot of new details about the game, new characters, and some fun news from the first Smash Bros. Invitational Tournament, being held in LA during the show. Those of you who want to play the game can head to a local Best Buy. Many locations will have Smash Bros. demo booths set up during the show.
The Legend of Zelda Wii U & Hyrule Warriors
There's almost no chance that a console version of the next Zelda will be playable at E3 this year, but it's likely that Nintendo will show a trailer, or at least some new Zelda game. Robin Williams' daughter Zelda (named after the fictional princess) has even tweeted that she will have an "extra special" presence at the show. The mystery 3DS game we keep hearing about could be a Zelda title as well. Any news is good news when it comes to Link and his eternal fight against Ganon and his kind. We can't wait. And even if a full-fledged game doesn't come out, it's pretty certain that Hyrule Warriors, which puts link in a Dynasty Warriors game, will be playable.
Mario Maker
Ever dreamed of constructing and playing your own Super Mario Bros. levels? If the above leaked image, first published at Nintendo Enthusiast, isn't some elaborate hoax, then you'll be able to with Mario Maker, a title whose visual style harkens back to the 8-bit era. This image, along with rumors of a "mystery" 3DS game to be revealed at E3, suggests that Mario Maker is that mystery 3DS title. Whatever the case may be, all shall be known at Nintendo Direct @ E3.
Minecraft for Wii U
There are rumors dating back to December of last year that the insanely popular sandbox title Minecraft will be debuting on Wii U sometime in the summer of 2014. Well, summer's just about here and if those rumors are true, then E3 would be the perfect time to unveil Minecraft Wii U.
An All-New Shigeru Miyamoto Franchise for Wii U
In July of 2013, superstar Nintendo game designer and producer Shigeru Miyamoto — he's the name behind Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, you get the idea — told a Japanese video game magazine that he's working at an entirely new franchise for Wii U, saying, "It's about time we brought out a new franchise." Is it finally time yet? We look forward to finding out.
Metroid Prime 4
It's been seven years since Nintendo released Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Wii. In that time, Nintendo watchers have been reading the tea leaves, trying to figure out if and when a new Metroid installment would be released. First, Nintendo of America head Reggie Fils-Aime was wearing a Metroid lapel pin at the Cranky Kong reveal for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze last December. Then, in that title, astute players were able to spot a shape that looked a lot like Samus Aran's gunship hiding in the trees. That's two hints! Stop teasing us, Nintendo, and deliver the Metroid Prime 4 goods at E3.
Fatal Frame
It's not well known in the States, but Fatal Frame has been well received overseas. According to a Famitsu report, a Wii U version of the survival horror adventure game is in production. It could feasibly show up at E3, but the best we might get is a new trailer.
Yarn Yoshi
We doubt fans of the next God of War will be excited about Yarn Yoshi, but as fans of Kirby's Epic Yarn, we sure are. Mix a Yoshi's Story style game with that pretty yarn-style animation and you have a winning combination.
Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem
This Nintendo/Atlus crossover RPG has been hinted at, but we haven't heard anything about it in some time. We're not even sure it will come to the United States, but remain blindly optimistic.
Luigi's Mansion Wii U
Last year, a Wii U version of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon was mistakenly put on several retail websites, including Best Buy. While we think that was an honest mistake, the game's developer, Next Level, is now an official Nintendo second-party studio. It's developing something, and it could be another Luigi's Mansion for the big screen.
