If you don’t already know what to expect at the Nintendo Press Conference 2012, then I just have two words for you – Wii U. The new system that still has people scratching their heads will get its chance in the spotlight yet again. Along with the new system, Nintendo will surely talk about new games, something for the 3DS, and someone may actually remember that we still have a Wii.
I’ve gathered yet again the top minds behind games at G4 to find out what to expect at the Nintendo Press Conference.

The big Wii U push: price (over $250 is suicide), release date, launch titles, the whole deal. I expect Pikmin 3 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii U as launch titles from Nintendo. I really hope the rumors of the insane Metroid/Star Fox crossover game by Retro are real. Nintendo will attempt to prove for the third generation in a row that they have strong third-party support, which will consist of current-gen multiplatform games with a Wii U screen controller gimmick added in. The 3DS section of the conference will focus on apps and online features nobody wants, because Nintendo is still trying to compete with Apple instead of making a successor to the DS and its exceptional game library.
2K Sports today announced that basketball simulator NBA 2K13 will be available on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 in North America and October 5, 2012 internationally. It's coming out on many platforms, too: The 360, PS3, PSP, Wii and PC. A Wii U version is even planned for a later date.
