I'm largely apathetic to what Microsoft and Sony are doing at this point. I expect them to boast about sales numbers, talk about new TV/media services. Sony will show a bunch of games that won't release until 2016, most of which will be cancelled and Microsoft will have the same old line up of Forza/Halo/Fable.

Not to say that I expect Nintendo will have anything original on offer, but I'm a lot more interested in what they're doing. So to predict a few things there:

• We'll see a pretty lengthy demonstration of Ruby/Sapphire, similar to what they did for X and Y last year.
  
• Ruby/Sapphire will come with an NFP base for scanning in figures, which will give you access to special promo Pokemon and let you trade Pokemon with others by swapping figures.
  
• We'll obviously see a lot of Smash Brothers, get release dates for both, see whatever single player mode the Wii version has and probably get reveals for every non-secret character. Including the last third party inclusion, which is probably Pacman.
  
• Mario Kart 8 DLC will be announced, along with the usual "first pack is available after this show ends".
  
• Majora's Mask 3DS remake announced, (the western) release date for Hyrule Warrios and the new Wii U Zelda teased.
  
• New 3D Mario game for the Wii U in the vein of Mario 64/Galaxy. This will probably be compatible with the NFP stuff as well.
  
• They'll have a new IP on show for the Wii U and I think it'll be some kind of first person adventure game, similar to the Metroid Prime but without the Metroid licence.
  
• F-Zero, Starfox and Metroid will be absent. At best, we'll see them released as NFP figures.
