low morale among Nintendo fans means people don't put as much effort into hype as they used to

Wow, I love Nintendo but even I am amazed at how unrealistically full of hope this thread has become.
I must admit the allure of another January 2013 direct is powerful (though even less likely when considering this is just for 'spring' games).

Apparently some people still have expections from Nintendo.

I think that Capcom could have something in the works.
Nintendo has a good relationship with them, Capcom said in one of their investor things that they wanted to get the platform holders more involves -> read as fund development for exclusivity (like Dead Rising on X1 and Deep Down on PS4)
...Nintendo would have to pay for it of course.
I think this Direct is actually slightly underhyped.
Because X.

Well I guess I should go to bed so I can get up to watch this in the morning.
some people need to understand that being delusional under certain circumstances is not a bad thing.
Welcome to NeoGAF.
Maybe it's VC related
You are awesome, your avatar is awesome and hype is fun. Good times xD

Indeed, as a long time Sega Fanboy delusional episodes are key for our survival as our race.
Yeah but he added, in a following tweet, that he doesn't know if the Wii U exclusive he's aware of will be announced in this Direct. "I hope so" he said.
For those who don't know: we're talking about the French journalist who leaked an unnanounced Wii U Japanese 3rd party exclusive.
Been here since 2005, so no
But this pre hype Nintendo Direct thread seems bigger than the previous ones, so I thought there was something already announced.EatChildren
Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Really big new announcements are, in my opinion, a bit unlikely. Not while Nintendo has so much on their plate to talk about.
However, that shouldn't be a deterrent, because more info on Bayonetta 2, X, and Smash should warrant interest alone. We've seen nothing significant of the former two since E3 2013.

People are hyped because the last 'first Direct of the year' was spectacular. There's reason for optimism and just a bit of silliness.

Probably totally unrelated, but some more Wii U / 3DS maintenance tomorrow.
That's the third time the 3DS and the Wii U are getting some special maintenance for online stuff in the same week. (Actually, that's only 2 for the Wii U).
Oh, and who is doing the X stuff for avatars? My request went unnoticed it seems
You could try asking Mlatador, he did mine.

recent directs have been pretty satisfying for those of us with realistic expectations, and there's usually one or two surprises per direct.
plus, some are hyped because there's a good chance we'll see more Bayonetta 2 and X, and also because this Direct will be longer than usual.
see aboveBeen here since 2005, so no
It's the first Direct in about two months and all the major Wii U developers have tweeted about it.Been here since 2005, so no
Talking about French project.
Also it reminds me The Last Story so much, do we know what Mistwalker are doing?

It's a combination of many things. First of all this is the first Direct in a while. Secondly it will be the longest Direct to date. Thirdly some retweets imply that we'll see SSB4, X and Bayonetta 2 there.
I'm pretty certain while there'll be a few surprises, the biggest news we can expect from this Direct are actual release dates of the announced games; a huge shocker would be either Bayonetta 2 or X being released in the first half of the year
If this happens (please god!) it will be worth it just for the bitter tears and meltdowns alone, no doubt about that. >

So this will only feature known titles?
This is getting...strange.
Nintendo is losing money because they have improved their Ninja training program. :lol
Isn't X now almost 5 in development? It's time.
No worldwide Direct ever does really.

I expect to see FAST RACING NEO in this direct, and also how capable the WiiU is and if Shin-en's assertions about the console's power were exaggerated or if the difference with that past generation is clearly appreciable when a game is properly optimized for the console.
They usually have one or two games we've never heard about. Last time it was Hyrule Warriors, before that was Kirby.

this seems roughly in line with nintendirect hype trains

there are also enough announced games about which we know so little that getting concrete information about them would still qualify as surprising (as in very new):
Steel Diver SubWars
SMT X FE
Yarn Yoshi
FAST
etc.

Looking forward to some details on Mario Kart 8. Hopefully they'll also highlight some nice indie and 3DS games from their partners. We might even get some surprise download titles. Then it's the May Mario Kart Direct and on to E3!
X, Bayo, Smash.
It's a Nintendo Direct thread, so only interesting if you want to hear how hyped an individual is, with the occasional poster coming in with a response of "Meh" only to be shot down instantly.
From what I know there have been a few retweets from Platinum and Monolith (I think). So people are expecting updates on Bayonetta 2 (possibly a port of the first as well) and X.
I have an even better idea: Bayo 1 on eshop after the ND and you can unlock Bayo 2 demo in it.
