Nintendo has a big secret that they are holding onto until E3. Naturally, this secret has got people talking. What new game will Nintendo announce at the expo?

Earlier in the week GamesRadar guessed the games that have a high chance of being announced at E3, but what games have little-to-no chance of being announced at all?
GR now takes a look at the Nintendo games that most likely won't be appearing at E3 ...

So, Nintendo’s got a massive E3 announcement waiting in the wings. But as we detailed yesterday, not two years out the Wii has already blown its wad, unleashing Mario, Zelda, Metroid and the Brothers Smash. It really makes you wonder what exactly they’ve got left to pull out of their puffy red hat. Sure, we can speculate about the likelihood of Kid Icarus and Star Fox until we’re blue in the wrist, but never with 100% certainty. Although... we can easily guess what Nintendo absolutely won’t be announcing.

Mario Kart saw an end to the A-listers on the Wii, so unless they buck convention and release a sequel to Mario Galaxy or Twilight Princess, we wouldn’t be surprised to see some white horses of yesteryear released in a desperate attempt to wrangle back the hardcore audience turned away by plastic wheels and interactive scales. Just look at the inclusion of R.O.B. or Mr. Game and Watch in Brawl and you’ll see that there’s no well of nostalgia too shallow or fail-soaked to mine for upcoming reissue.

Some of these games definitely deserve an update, others don’t. But the one thing they all share is the 0% chance of coming out of Reggie Fils-Aime’s mouth come July.

    Nintendo needs to announce more info on Animal Crossing Wii. Maybe announce a Kirby game to.

      I want the big announcement to come out already and for a new series/franchise to begin.

        Starfox is overrated, the games aren't that good imo.
