NA direct is 41 minutes? 30 minutes on Cranky Kong, maybe?

 

[RpgN]

Why is the thread huge while the direct is still yet to start? Did I miss something?

 

[dcelone53]

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.

Not even sleep can contain this hype!

Thanks guys

I think you missed every other Nintendo Direct thread. They're all like this based on hype alone.

XenoXXX

The gifs are basically porn

Where is that X gifs thread when we need it?

 

[chaosblade]

Other than seeing X, which would be awesome, my hopes are finally seeing Fast Racing Neo (seeing as Nintendo doesn't want to touch F-Zero) and DQ7 (probably not yet if it does happen, seeing as BD just released).

 

[Horseress]

9 more hours? Dammit Iwata I need my fix now.

<3 neogaf

 

[Nibel]

Lack of Dragon Quest VII hype makes me sad..

As if that game would come to the west Square Enix hates gamers

True, I didn't pay too much attention to how large they were. Although I remember one having like 30 pages. In this one it feels like people are more excited.

At least I know I am. I want some release dates.

If there's still no mention of SMT IV EU...

 

[DaSorcerer7]

10PM? What are these shenanigans? Other Directs have been 4pm at the latest. Unacceptable.

lol

[DeaviL]

Expecting the Direct to be long, hard

We do this to ourselves. Every. Time.

But a 41 minute direct? They're gonna be sacrificing a drifter to summon the Old Gods to back the power of all the megatons they'll be dropping.

Hell, megatons, Thursdaytons, I even expect a betrayalton from one of the third parties just to add to the "Oh, SNAP" factor.

Oh yeah, there is more excitement in this one because retweets GUARANTEE* that Platinum, Sakurai and Monolith are involve somewhere

*Guarantee is not a vaild guarantee.

And your last line... And we'll never get Rune Factory. I'm still not buying Nintendo games until I can region-free my consoles.

 

[MDX]

mechs are for sissies. dolls are for men!

I seriously really hope they keep calling them Dolls

 

[CassSept]

I'm gonna play through Fusion this evening to prepare for Other M 2 and Ridley in Smash announcements.

Spoiler

That feel when don't know what to feel

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

What's wrong with just 'X'? It's fine and maybe the first videogame title consisting of just one letter.

There's already a completely unrelated, Nintendo-published game called X.

It even had a music track rearranged for Brawl.

 

[Frodo]

I seriously really hope they keep calling them Dolls

I second that.

 

[Albo]

Shhhh, no sanity now. Only hype and dreams.

 

[Kouriozan]

Hopefully we can nickname them.

Hey Ken, this is Barbie *Valentine day special trailer*

 

[Hasney]

Shhhh, no sanity now. Only hype and dreams.

There's a 48 hour window of no sanity before and after any direct. It's all hype then salt before that window expires!

 

[pulga]

jesus fucking christ, why so late? is there no end to your incompetence, iwata? ;_;

 

[Hasney]

Duh, the early start times of Directs in the US means maximum hype was never initialised. This move is totally gonna turn the Wii U around!

 

[Entryhazard]

He's to blame that time zones exist

Please understand

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

He's to blame that time zones exist

I personally blame Iwata for the rise in gas prices.

 

[-Setsuna-]

41 minutes?! OK, now I'm hyped...

Yoshi's Land, Bayo 2, X and FAST Neo, please. Plus a little surprise at the end.

 

[Chindogg]

It's in a perfect timeslot for the only country that matters.

What if Fast Racing Neo became a new F-Zero game? It would explain the delay in seeing it.

Spoiler

It's not going to happen, but a man can dream.

YEAHHHHH. Thanks Obama Iwata.

Did SE really never make an HD game with towns? Even after a whole gen?

 

[Liamc723]

I feel like the majority of people in this thread are going to be disappointed..

Considering the amount of work to make graphics that deserve HD, it is hard to make towns in the conventional style

FFXIII-2

For some reason everyone has forgotten that this game exists. On topic, yay a new direct .

 

[DJIzana]

They did not... I wonder if FFXIV's DX11 patch will be their first game with HD towns or if FFXV will beat it to the punch?

 

[RPGCrazied]

I think we will defiantly see more of Mario Kart 8. Love to see the new Zelda they have yet to announce. More of X would be awesome too. How about a Metroid announcement?

 

[L~A]

Can't believe this thread is already 60 pages long, with more than 3k posts... Personally, just having MK8 + Bayonetta 2 + X + Super Smash Bros. is reason enough to get hyped like hell. Anything else is just icing on the cake at this point.

Personally, I hope we get :

- Kirby Triple Deluxe
- Ace Attorney 1-2-3 compilation

 

[PokéKong]

They made a big HD city in XIII-2, and yet merely used it as a set piece for monster battles, obtuse floating platform jumping, and pointless time wasting leg work in between playing trivia games, never once utilizing it as an actual functional RPG town.

 

[amnesiac]

Earthbound collection

 

[drakkar]

This should sum up how a lot of people feels about today's Direct.

[Kouriozan]

So this Direct's eShop surprise will be Bayonetta 1, right?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa let's not get too crazy here.

 

[monome]

Bayo1 port.

and all shall be well.

and this would be the fifth time I buy it...

Yep... precisely why I didn't include it.

 

[Horseress]

I just want a release date for the new Smash....and Pac-Man
