What do everyone think of these rumors? Do you think any of these will become true?

Some of these could be true but others seem highly unlikely to me.

I really think the rumor where Retro Studios is said to be making a Donkey Kong track will be true because of the upcoming Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, even if they aren't developing the game.

The rumor involving a new Star Fox and Nintendo trying to regain the Banjo Kazooie series just doesn't seem likely to me. I think they gave up on the Star Fox and Banjo series.

I don't know what to expect.

Aside from X, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Pikmin 3, W101, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team should all be there. There is no reason for them not to show up.

Star Wars expected this generation. Good to know they are not planning to release it on the Wii U's successor.

Doubt Animal Crossing news.

Banjo Kazooie would be a dream come true, but at this point, I don't want to hear about it unless it is officially confirmed.

Return to past races? Like every other Zelda game?

Why talk about a 3DS successor if it is still two years from release?

Would be nice to see some form of Achievements.

I'm looking forward to more info on XY and MKU. They should reveal some interesting information.

100-Year-Old-Gamer is just a guy who makes stuff up to troll. He does not have inside info and should simply be ignored.

Some of the things sound interesting. The Retro Studios 'futuristic' game sounds interesting. When whoever said 'Announcing Retro Studios upcoming project in the "not so distant future"' I was thinking if their next game might be set in the "not so distant future".

Return to past races? Like every other Zelda game?

I believe he's referring to Skyward Sword even though one Goron appeared

Half of them are probably true as Nintendo has a history of doing some of those things, but some of it seems to be sort of a "I hope they do this so that I wont be called a liar later" for this 100 year-old gamer fellow.
