IGN posts up their Nintendo-related E3 2011 predictions

IGN has seemingly been at the forefront of all things regarding Nintendo's new console even before Nintendo officially announced it, so it's worth giving them a listen as to what their predictions are for E3. I might write up my own predictions for E3 as some final thoughts just before the show kicks off. Until then, check out what IGN thinks:

We will see a bunch of new Project Cafe games, including a new Mario title. - Very Likely

Nintendo is showing off its system for the very first time, and cool-looking games are the quickest way to impress. Yes, you will see many games for Project Cafe -- that's almost guaranteed. Will one of those games star the chubby little plumber? We don't know, but it wouldn't shock us if Mario was in attendance.

Nintendo will announce that Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be a launch title for Project Cafe. - Hmm...Maaaybe

Nintendo's got a tough decision to make with Skyward Sword. On one hand the company has set this precedent before, when Twilight Princess was shifted from the GameCube to be a Wii launch title. On the other hand, we won't see the new Nintendo system till 2012, which means the Wii is looking at a pretty barren release schedule this fall if Skyward Sword gets taken out of the mix. This one could definitely go either way.
