E3 2018: 15 Last Minute Rumours You Need To Know

Ever since the NES Classic was first announced - and quickly succeeded by the SNES Classic - there's been firm expectations from fans that the N64 Classic would soon follow.

Last summer, Nintendo made a trademark filing for the iconic N64 controller, and just a few weeks ago Nintendo Japan filed another trademark for the N64. Though it's just as likely that Nintendo will announce the N64 Classic on a random Wednesday in a few months, what better stage than E3?

How Likely Is It?: Pretty likely, but absolutely not certain, especially if Nintendo wants to ensure the focus is on Metroid Prime 4 and Super Smash Bros. for Switch.

The hardware clearly exists, but don't be surprised if Nintendo reveals it a little later in the summer while building hype for a holiday release.
