Nintendo Direct Feb 13, 2014 Thread | 3DS/Wii U Spring games

It always astonishes me how much hype these things get. Especially this one. It's for titles released by Spring. There won't even be much covered, let alone big announcements.
 
About Disney Magical World, they released a trailer yesterday.
 
Predictions:

- Nintendo Network iOS/Android app - allows purchasing of games, videos, previews, etc
- New MK8 trailer with new character
- New Smash Character
- Confirmation of X's existence in a compilation trailer
- Advance Wars 3DS
- More info on Wii U VC
- Yarn Yoshi release date

No DQVII localization then no way.

It's because we always see some kind of batshit left field announcement that we never thought about wanting to happen like Hyrule Warriors. It's always a fun time at least.
 
Serious question - how many of you have problems watching these live? UK Gaffer here with 20Mb broadband yet I always seem to get a shitty juddery stream. So much so that despite being hyped for this, I will likely avoid GAF for an hour and watch it after it has gone out.

On my laptop the fucking flash stream is barely watchable (ustream/twitch), but ony my Wii U (or rather the Gamepad) it's much better. Probably because of how well the Wii U browser handles html5 streams.

For my timezone, it's at 7pm.

20 minutes after I get home from work.

This is perfect. BLESS YOU IWATA.

We still don't technically even know what type of game X is aside from the fact that it has mechs and looks awesome.

I could love you and vote for you as new CEO LOL
 
Yep. The most exciting thing I'll probably hear about this is a solid release date for Mario Kart 8.

We already know it's May*… actual information about the game would be more interesting because nothing precise was ever announced about the game modes, including online multiplayer.
 
Is it plausible to see that Wii Karaoke U app over in Europe make it's way to North America at last? Not gonna lie, I'd really enjoy it, especially if it maintains that same pricing model of buying a ticket for a few hours, a day or 30 days.
 
You know what would be great? That long, long rumored 3DS version of Seaman. Love that game on the Dreamcast.
 
What happened to the usual morning Nintendo Direct (for US)? I have class so I'll miss it :(

Oh well. Have to avoid GAF until after I watch the replay.
 
I don't believe that any more than you do.

:P

Nah, I really set my expectations so low there's no way I can be disappointed. After hearing Iwata at that investor's meeting and his bonkers ideas, I'm increasingly less confident they have any idea what they're doing, so my expectations for these things are essentially set to bottom tier now. We already know about Donkey Kong which is not really exciting for me, and we already know about Mario Kart (and I'm so done with that series at this point), so what else can they really announce?

X is later in the year if it makes it, and Bayonetta 2 isn't going to be a Spring game... and I can't imagine given their attitude toward third parties any surprises will come from them. So what can I reasonably expect from Nintendo? Yet more games with Mario in it?

I love Nintendo, but they've been on autopilot for ages now, and they're completely aimless.
 
Considering they're only covering Spring this is what I expect.

-Yet another run down of DKC: TF
-A run down of MK8
-Another run down of New Yoshi's Island
-Kirby's Triple Deluxe run down for NA/EU streams
-Maybe a Smash character announcement relating the games above (Dixie Kong for example)
-Third party shenanigans
-If we're lucky we'll get a digital game announcement or two
-Run down of all the indie games coming out
-Please Understand

and that's it.
 
What I'm expecting from Wii U: DK:TF footage, MK 7 footage

What I'm expecting from 3DS: Professor Layton? (i never played the series, i think there is a title coming out for it soon though), Yoshi's New Island

I think there might be some smaller announcements (like VC titles) or announcements for things that won't really excite neogaf, but those 4 games are probably what will be featured for the most part.
 
Wouldnt mind seeing an update to NES Remix with a couple new games added, but I doubt it.

Anything like hoping for X, Zelda, Metroid, SMT, Bayo etc is just setting yourself up for disappointment.
 
i cant believe i am 13 pages late... after allways checking gaf for an announcement!!

EDIT: it seems that i am 14 pages late. Another hype train lost :P
