A mid-afternoon Nintendo Direct? That's fairly unusual.

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Spoiler

Dragon Quest VII 3DS announcement!

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Dream announcement wise is 3ds Metroid and Advanced Wars. Both much bigger in the west then Japan, so maybe it could happen.

What is left for big localizations? Its too soon for Dragon Quest with Bravely Default, Tomadachi Collection or Band Brothers are semi possible I guess. Maybe Fantasy Life?

Spoiler

I need Puyo Tetris. And eShop only Rocket Slime 3 to kick off the 25 anniversary and the Year of Slime.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Inazuma Eleven, dammit.

 

[NotLiquid]

Why is it only for Spring? What's the benefit of holding back the rest of the year? Hold something for e3, sure; but these are desparate times. Time for some big guns.

Spring = March - May. E3 is very early June so it's all going to phase into each other, even if there's a good chance that we'll get news for titles beyond Spring.

 

[Trevelyan9999]

Please based Nintendo, just announce you are working on F-Zero, Star Fox and Metroid Prime 4, you don't even have to show media, just let us know they are coming.

Eat a wiener; you're getting my hopes up!

 

[dampflokfreund]

Majoras Mask 3D. Hype.

 

[Spinluck]

prepare for nothing.

 

[Gsnap]

Woooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't even care if they announce anything new. I need my Mario Kart and Smash Bros info!

I wish they'd stop announcing them the day before and just announce them the hour before. Ha.

 

[Mpl90]

About Game, they tweeted also about last Direct. So, they tweeting Directs isn't necessairly a sign of big things to come. I confused them with...Edge! Now I remember. They tweeted about the Direct.

Still, I'd say it's quite possible to see "special things", due to the very, VERY unusual time.

 

[wsippel]

finally!

And an evening direct even! This should be that Direct.

The timing is exactly the problem. It's not a global Direct, so nothing interesting is going to happen.

They always say this. Relax

[Principate]

Come on games that'll come out in Europe in a timely manner or a bravely default situation I don't mind!

[JoeM86]

There's no evidence for that. It always goes NA/EU announced first, Japan later.

As I have said numerous times, Iwata is hosting this one. Iwata never hosts the US/EU exclusive ones

 

[Drago]

Later time means I can actually watch this live. That really excites me, hopefully it'll be a good Direct to see live >_>

 

[Stratostar]

WarioWare 3DS would be nice, but we all know that ain't happening. Oh well. Should be a good Direct anyway.

 

[rokero]

Omg finally the wait was driving me insane drop the bomb Iwata do it ..... Hype levels increasing

 

[Mpl90]

The timing is exactly the problem. It's not a global Direct, so nothing interesting is going to happen.

Iwata + Europe and US having the Direct at the same time usually means it's global (i.e. Japan included too). It's possible we'll get the announcement in the next hours.

 

[fredrancour]

Enjoying the delirious high before hype train turns to pain train...

 

[Oddduck]

A mid-afternoon Nintendo Direct? That's fairly unusual.

Hopefully it'll be an unusual Direct with a few surprises.

 

[Majmun]

Just before NPD

 

[KingSnake]

The timing is exactly the problem. It's not a global Direct, so nothing interesting is going to happen.

We don't know yet, it's too early in Japan now for an announcement, we will see later if there is also a Japanese ND.
And I don't need much, just exact Spring release dates for Bayo 2 and MK8 and new footage.

 

[Korosenai]

Do we know when Kirby Deluxe is coming out in the US?

 

[ASIS]

what is Nintendo releasing this spring anyway?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

My quick two cents on what SHOULD be in this direct. FANSERVICE! Something for WiiU fans and owners. A demo, free game or something... Just to show they care.


Most importantly.... THE BIG GUNS! If Nintendo doesn't show up for this direct all hope is lost. All the negativity surrounding the console and ps4 about to overtake its lifetime sales.... GO BIG OR GO THE FUCK HOME NINTENDO!

Thy need that for a traditional E3(which I assume they will have this time around).

 

[Salsa]

im hypu

 

[ffdgh]

No. Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door II

...Or sticker star 2

 

[LordOcidax]

Nintendo Direct.. Hype....

This.

 

[LeleSocho]

They'll announce nothing and people will act like all the problems are gone, just like the last 2-3 direct... will see nonetheless.

 

[qizah]

what is Nintendo releasing this spring anyway?

We'll find out tomorrow.

 

[Neiteio]

The big question is, Will there be Smash Bros. news, and if so, what will it be?

I see a number of possibilities:

A) There is no Smash coverage in tomorrow's Direct
B) Diddy Kong is unveiled tonight and shown in more detail during the Direct tomorrow
C) Diddy Kong is unveiled tonight but nothing related to him is in the Direct
D) A non-Diddy Kong screen is shown tonight, but it hints at the Direct
E) Diddy Kong is unveiled tonight and DIXIE is unveiled in the Direct
F) Diddy Kong is unveiled tonight and K. ROOL is unveiled in the Direct
G) Diddy Kong is not shown tonight, but DIXIE is shown in the Direct
H) Diddy Kong is not shown tonight, but K. ROOL is shown in the Direct
I) Diddy Kong is revealed tonight, with DIXIE partner character unveiled in Direct
J) No character is shown tonight, but DIDDY & DIXIE tag-team is shown in Direct
K) Motherfucking Cranky Kong?!?

I think people are missing something.

There's a gold mine of games, but they have only been released in Japan right now.

We need localizations!!! This could be time we get this!

 

[kankki]

...Or sticker star 2

Haven't played Sticker Star... mainly becuase I haven't heard good things about it :/

 

[Orniletter]

This is what happens every single direct. Nintendo explicitly states it will only be discussing games coming out in the next few months. However they will sneak in an announcement of an upcoming game and reveal a trailer from one of their most anticipated titles. People ignore what has happened for 90% of the directs Nintendo has done and are upset when all of their dream titles weren't anounced.

Spot on

 

[Mlatador]

Goddamn, I loved this anime back in the day, pissed myself laughing. Love this gif.

Same here! I was laughing so hard when I first saw it. It's still the funniest anime I've ever seen!

 

[kitsuneyo]

Well now, Brian Davis from Next Level Games basically copied the Direct tweet:



https://twitter.com/GameplayDev/status/433696461188911105

... Nah...

So we think there's something in this? Does he usually RT these announcements?

Edit: Did last time

 

[bequietdrive]

Oh really? Don't normally notice them tweeting it. Yeah, the timing is definitely different to usual. Time for us all to read way too much into that!

 

[zenosparadox]

I am not expecting anything more than a regurgitation of DKC:TF and maybe something new for MK8. It will be a 7 minute direct.

Yes, I am expecting the worst.

 

[Gambit]

For me the Direct Hype Train is its own reward.

HYPED!

 

[Aquamarine]

Wasn't there a rumor about Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon HD or something??

Yes, from last October.

Interesting:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CCKNHJC/?tag=neogaf0e-20

UPC: 045496680145

The news seems to stem from a distributor listing:

Other listings:

All of the sites that have it must have put up the information when they saw the distributor had it as a potential option.

 

[The perfect Dark]

The Direct is at 11 p.m. here in Germany. Probably because of youth protection, so I guess there will be violence in some of the vids...hmm....Bayonetta 2?

 

[daripad]

Dixie for smash please.
