Quick, someone look if they left a hint now.
 
realistic expectations:
  • DKTF launch trailer
  • Tomodachi Collection Western Release extended reveal and discussion
  • eshop and VC talk featuring FAST Racing Neo, DS VC talk for Wii U, possible GBA VC for Wii U, 3D classics on 3DS, maybe some more about Miiverse/NNID cross platform integration
  • Steel Diver Subwars reveal
  • Kirby Triple Deluxe video
  • Mario Kart 8 video
  • X trailer and title reveal
  • QOL discussion with some hints given
  • Bayonetta 2 short trailer
  • surprise - Bayonetta 1 coming to Wii U
  • Animal Crossing Wii U? it will be something more hardcore, maybe a further look at Hyrule Warriors.
  • Unannounced 3DS game?

edit: some additions
Yoshi's Island 3DS trailer, Yarn Yoshi teaser trailer
Fire Emblem x SMT teaser trailer
short mention of Smash for 3DS and Wii U, just for good measure
 
Not really expecting much in terms of surprise announcements here, but an actual look at the games they announced over a year ago with just titles would be nice. I also want to know what content the 3DS will be getting.
 
Love these threads.

My prediction :

  • Kirby triple deluxe release date
  • Yoshi's new island trailer + release date
  • MK8 trailer + release date
  • New Smash Character reveal: Palutena
  • New X trailer + gameplay details
  • New Bayonetta 2 trailer + release window
  • Previously unannounced title: Advance Wars 3DS
 
The first to tweet was the Next Level Games guy. Don't forget that they were actually working on something for Nintendo when they put that on hold for Luigi's Mansion 2. So they have been working on something else for a year now and considering that they have more than one teams I think nothing is off the table.
 
41 minutes has made me officially hyped, because now they can actually fit in some of the stuff that we've been saying.

...and I get to use my own GIF....

I think it was confirmed in this thread that they tweeted about the Direct just to spread the word

How do we know that it is 41 minutes?
I'm hoping for a trailer for MK with a date, a new character for smash and a narrowed down release date, and something from Yoshi's yarn.
 
Im expecting more information about Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem and Yarn Yoshi and X. Also I am expecting them to at least mention Zelda Wii U, maybe show some artwork.
 
I honestly feel like recent Directs have mostly delivered, as long as we didn't expect the sun and the moon.

One new reveal per Direct (possibly one reveal per platform) is awesome by my count

Yeah I absolutely agree but Nintendo always has that surprise potential. Showing something that nobody saw coming. Guessing what that surprise might be is hard for this exact reason.
 
Ok guys, I've got a PM from a certain user, so...all aboard the hype train!


LOL of course, nobody knows anything concrete about the ND ;p
 
People who are hyping this up are crazy, especially those who want a P* Star Fox. It's obvious this is their next project.

As automatically orgasmic as this would be, an F-Zero without racing aspects wouldn't feel quite right, and I don't trust P* with their non-combat gameplay. But you know who worked that last incredible F-Zero game? Sega. You know a game with sweet beat-em-up gameplay that successfully mixes in tons of adventure and RPG and miscellaneous sidequest minigame gameplay? Yakuuza. Imagine a Captain Falcon game with that as the template.

those super-secret nintendo insiders, wielding their their super-secret megatons, furtively distributing them throughout the gaf userbase to those deemed worthy by iwata-san and reggie's body




What do I have to do to get a PM as well?

I would do anything.

ANY-THING.

Only paying subscribers to GAF Gold get super-secret insider PMs.



hahahahaha
