I am praying at my shrine of Shibata for some kind of Shin Megami Tensei IV announcement for Europe/Australia.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Shhhhh

No sanity

Only hype now

I would be hyped if I had any idea what was going on...

 

[Oersted]

I'm entirely lost as to what is happening in this thread right now...

Kirby: I'm gritty, bitch! Ios exclusive. Please understand.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

slow to the fucking clap



May I point out that you should be puking rainbows?

how do you know I'm not slurping them up from the floor?

 

[Aquamarine]

I would be hyped if I had any idea what was going on...

1. Bayonetta 2

2) X

3) Smash Bros.

4) 41 minutes long, longest Direct EVAH

5) Later than usual

6) Please understand

7) GAF Gold

8) ???

9) Profit

 

[foxuzamaki]

41 MINUTES!

you and me both buddy!

I'm expecting Bayo 1 port to be announced. Remember when EatChildren said one of his sources told him that Bayo 1 port for Wii U will be announced with the release of the anime DVD/bluray? Well the release date for DVD/bluray was Jan 24th but they changed that to Feb 14th. So if the source was legit, we might actually see Bayo 1 port for Wii U at the direct today.

10) secret PM

And apparently a PM fits somewhere around number 7.

I see the problem, you're still holding on to your sanity.

 

[TrueBlue]

My predictions:

X trailer + release window - from Soraya's tweet

Mario Kart 8 trailer + solid release date in May - Well, it is a Spring game, the main one for Nintendo really.

Sonic Lost World - Zelda DLC - It was teased in the last Direct,would be weird to not see it here.

Smash Bros reveal (possibly Diddy and Dixie, hopefully Palutena) - from Sakurai's re-tweet and the tease on the daily pic.

Bayonetta 2 trailer + release window - from Platinum's re-tweet, plus it's been ages since we saw much of Bayonetta 2

Mario Golf 3DS release date - Been in the pipeline for ages, would be nice for Spring

New Next Level Games project (Mario Strikers 3, Luigi Mansion HD etc) - Yes, I know they denied teasing anything with their re-tweet, but I want to believe.

Yarn Yoshi trailer - It's been a long time coming, they have to show something

FE X SMT - Same as Yarn Yoshi, though seems less likely.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Has Platinum made any mention of Bayo 2? Like the obvious RT on Twitter like Sakurai or Soraya Saga?

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Spoiler

PM=Pulse Monitor, duh

Two Bayo guys retweeted

Platinum retweeted too

 

[Mango The Magician]

Out of curiosity, do we know if the Japan direct is the same length as the NA one?

 

[Aquamarine]

Has Platinum made any mention of Bayo 2? Like the obvious RT on Twitter like Sakurai or Soraya Saga?

Yes, it's been retweeted by three people:

1) Yusuke Hashimoto, Bayonetta 2 director at Platinum Games

2) JP Kellams, Creative Producer at Platinum Games

3) The official Platinum Games Twitter account


They don't usually retweet Nintendo Directs.

[Lusankya]

Hmm, 23 o'clock in Europe (UTC +1) that's unusual. But I actually like it better than the earlier times because I am at home to watch it and not at work.

 

[trinest]

Thanks for the PM. Holy shit if true.

Edit:
Come on guys, you really fall for the "It's all revealed in a PM" joke? There's no PM. Just sit back and enjoy the hype until the ND destroys it.

Your just saying that because you didn't get the pm.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

We Euro watchers should make a drinking game

1 beer for "new title"
1/2 beer for "please understand"
2 beer for "today we announce"
1/2 beer for "exclusive for Wii U"
1 bottle of whisky "SMT IV will be released ... in Europe"

 

[AntiFacebook]

Wait, Soraya Saga retweeted it?

Okay, now I'm hyped. Lets do this.

Who's that?

 

[ArchedThunder]

The question is... can I stay up for another 11 and a half hours or should I just go to sleep in a few hours and try to watch the recording without running into spoilers...

Despite having already Bought two copies of Bayonetta for the 360, I would triple dip if this was announced.

Hell, I'd quadruple dip if it ever came to the PC too.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

once again, sans spoiler.

PM=Pulse Monitor

as in QOL

aka return of the Vitality Sensor

 

[Broken Joystick]

Shhhhh

No sanity

Only hype now

 

[kamikazekoala]

Why no Dragon Quest VII?

IF it's coming, too early to announce. Bravely Default isn't out that long enough. Maybe summer announcement for winter release? But that's very optimistic. Still no SMTIV release over here too.

 

[Aquamarine]

Who's that?

1) Employee at Monolith Soft

2) Wife of Tetsuya Takahashi, one of the management at Monolith Soft and Director for all of Monolith Soft's major games (Xenoblade, Xenosaga, X for Wii U)

3) She only retweets Directs that feature Monolith Soft's X. The last Direct she retweeted (June 11th) Nintendo announced more information about X, and she also retweeted the January 23rd, 2013 Direct where Monolith Soft's X got announced.

 

[Frodo]

it is always nicer to watch it live while following the threads here on GAF.

But GAF will crash anyway, so just watch it after your sleep. I won't be able to follow it live as well, so I just avoid Twitter, Facebook and GAF until I watch it.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

real talk: you know what would make the Direct for me?

DLC for Nintendoland

I'm dead serious

 

[The_Endgamer]

SMT4. PAL update.
DQ7. release/localisation this year.
MH4. more info on localisation. (confirmed release date?)
Yoshi 3DS. More info. new trailer.
MK8. new trailer, update.
SSB. new trailer, update. new character(s) .
Zelda U. announcement + trailer
FZeroU or StarfoxU. announcement + trailer
X. official reveal. story information. release timeframe.

something else...

Dear god I'm hoping for FZero, Starfox, Metroid or Zelda news though. Can't come soon enough!

Another big dream is for a new Fire Emblem on Wii U though. Awakening was perfect in everything it attempted. (minus feet)

 

[KingSnake]

New Next Level Games project (Mario Strikers 3, Luigi Mansion HD etc) - Yes, I know they denied teasing anything with their re-tweet, but I want to believe.

It would be such a lost opportunity not to have a Mario Strikers game in the summer of the World Cup in Brazil.

 

[TrueBlue]

Speaking of QOL, do you think Ninty will dedicate some time to it for this Direct?

 

[Atram]

to early

They got the Olympia trademark but they barely use it for advertisements.

 

[Aostia]

Nope, I don't think at all
More probable: see their mobile approach, in terms of "eshop purhcase through mobile", for example

 

[KingSnake]

Yeah, but Winter Olympics (although I like it) is way less important than Summer Olympics and World Cup. Plus all the Sochi controversy doesn't help either.

 

[ec0ec0]

I just want VC games. Lots of them.

This would be the true megaton.

 

[Oersted]

Yeah, but Winter Olympics (although I like it) is way less important than Summer Olympics and World Cup.

They also got Summer, and again they barely used it.

 

[DeaviL]

1/2 beer for "please understand"
2 beer for "today we announce"
1/2 beer for "exclusive for Wii U"
1 bottle of whisky "SMT IV will be released ... in Europe"

Iwata bows 5 times, each time saying please understand.
Then come 10 separate announcements of new titles,
9 of them exclusive to Wii U and the tenth is SMT IV in Europe.

Alcoholism Ahoy.

 

[BGBW]

They also got Summer, and again they barely used it.

Hey there was a kid playing a DS in the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics if you looked really really closely!

 

[Axass]

Wishlist:

• Dixie announced for Smash; maybe a video going a bit more in depth about the game, since we basically know almost nothing about it.
  
• X footage, final title.
  
• Bayonetta 2 footage.
  
• Hyrule Warriors footage.
  
• DQVII announced for western release.
  
• New 2D scrolling Metroid game for 3DS announced.
  
• Anything about StarFox.

Memories^^

 

[KingSnake]

Mario & Sonic at London 2012 sold like crazy.

 

[Axass]

Also, would you let me in on this secret PM stuff?

 

[ArchedThunder]

You sleep for 11 hours or something?

I said "go to sleep in a few hours"

 

[Velcro Fly]

I secretly hope for a DQ7 announcement now that Bravely Default is out here.

It may seem selfish considering I haven't even come close to finishing other big RPGs for the 3DS.

But I want it! To sit on a shelf next to 4-6 and 9!

Igniting at 23.00!
