“We recently announced the upcoming release of Mario Super Sluggers. Additionally, we will be announcing several new titles that core gamers will be interested in around the time of E3. The clear majority of people waiting in line outside retailers on Sunday mornings to buy their Wii consoles are core gamers. Look at the plans being made by third-party publishers. They realize that Wii is the current platform of choice in this generation, and their bottom lines depend on appealing to the largest base.” - Marc Franklin, director of public relations at Nintendo

Big games for core gamers at E3, and strong support from third parties. Those are some big words, Mr. Franklin! Of course, it would be an absolute shock to not see any casual or expanded audience titles at E3. I expect there to be a pretty even 50/50 split.
