I don't know if they're related, but the timing there is gonna hit GAF's servers pretty hard.

GAF'll be down well before the NPDs come out. Well before. I give it ..10 minutes into the direct. Less if Iwata opens with a bomb.

 

[Valus]

I think it's amusing that there is a lot of trash talking about Nintendo in general going around about their sales, how the Wii U sucks, and so forth, yet a simple Nintendo Direct announcement garners over 70 pages of hype lol. GAF gon' GAF.

 

[Zalman]

Nintendo wants to overshadow the terrible NPD numbers with this Direct.

Then they should've waited until after NPD.

People can't stop talking about Nintendo no matter what.

 

[Riki]

Any coincidence January's NPD numbers release just minutes after the conclusion of this Nintendo Direct?

It's more a coincidence that they are holding this the day before Valentine's just like the Year of Luigi Direct was.

I suspect the cats bouncing off the walls in here aren't the same cats talking smack elsewhere. Just a hunch.

You can trash Nintendo for many things, but it can never be the quality of their games, and this is what Nintendo Directs are all about: Nintendo games.

Hello time killer

 

[Timeaisis]

Oh fuck it.

Metroid Dread
Kid Icarus Downfall
X(enoverse)
Bayonetta 2 collector's edition with free Bayonetta 1
Smash in June
Universal Account system with eShop cross-buy, half compensation in eShop credit for people who already bought something on 3DS and Wii U
Devil's Third now Wii U exclusive
Metal Gear Rising 2 timed exclusive with MGR port in March
Iwata taking out a PS4, saying "please understand" then throwing it at Reggie's chest where it instantly disintegrates because his body was ready

I think this is the most likely one on your list.

It was around this time last year, both Pokemon X/Y and LoZ ALBW were unveiled during Nintendo Directs.

Anything can happen.

I just really want a 1080 or Wave Race 3DS unveiling.

Either are my secret dreams.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

It's still obsession though(and hilarious).

 

[Currygan]

jesus the gifs...the fast moving pages...the hype!

no gotta resist until at least 11PM

 

[Dicer]

Still a bit too expensive for me. I need it to drop $3.99 more and then I'll finally consider buying it.

GTFO....

Don't worry, the doom and gloom is reserved for post-direct.

 

[Revven]

What's the estimated length? Has one been posted yet? Too many pages for me to look through and find it (the OP doesn't have it either if it's been posted).

Getting excited about something is a lot more fun than bitching about it.

 

[Oersted]

Smoky on cue

YOU DAMN RIGHT

10/10 would be scared again

 

[Gillian Seed]

Galaxy 3 please!

 

[rpmurphy]

GAF at 5PM:

HYPE

 

[SmokyDave]

It's still obsession though(and hilarious).

Indeed, there's a reason I'm peeking in here and it ain't for games announcements. Seeing people whipping themselves into a religious fervour is always good for a giggle.

I hope it delivers for you dudes.

Eh, I've been watching this madness since the start. Just thought I'd pop in to kneecap 'GAF gonna GAF' guy.

Nintendo is the Kanye West of video game companies lol..

 

[Linkhero1]

Then they should've waited until after NPD.

It doesn't really matter if they show a direct before or after. It's around the same time as NPD. I think it will have the same effect either way.

GTFO....

Make me.

Actually ALBW was unveiled during the April Direct, together with Yoshi's New Island.

 

[Axass]

Bingo?

 

[Boy Wander]

41 minutes.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Don't worry, the doom and gloom is reserved for post-direct.

It usually starts about 5 to 10 minutes into the Direct.

 

[Yasadril]

hope they are going to show metroid, f zero, and something on zelda

 

[Penguin]

Any coincidence January's NPD numbers release just minutes after the conclusion of this Nintendo Direct?

If that was the case, it would have made more sense to do during their quarterly report.

I mean when announcing a loss and dropped sales expectations.

It's the same reason I go into the Media Create threads.

 

[javac]

Just came back from Uni. You guys kept the thread warm for me while I was gone? You shouldn't have!

Well that is a on cue reaction.

 

[Orniletter]

God, I hope there is a new Metroid in there.

I don´t care if it is 2D or like the Primes...just not like Other M .

The rumored Bayonetta port would be appreciated too !

 

[Baleoce]

Sega to announce a new Shining game?

http://gematsu.com/2014/02/new-shining-game-announcement-coming-tonight

Playing with my heart strings. Get Motoaki Takenouchi out of retirement (or w/e it is he actually does now..) for the OST.

 

[Sadist]

It usually starts about 5 to 10 minutes into the Direct.

no Iwata what are you doing

fucking Donkey Kong again?

This doesn't expand dong

no new metroid thus fucking company

why are you such a shitty CEO Iwata

Reggie looks a bit heavy

Time passed; 6 minutes and 47 seconds

 

[ASIS]

I keep forgetting Sonic boom has been recently announced. It's going to eat up some time, time that otherwise could be used for Zelda U

 

[RobFox64tm]

Prediction: Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3 available after the direct on Wii U VC to celebrate the release of Tropical Freeze. Discount offered for those who purchase all three. (Similar to when they released those three Kirby SNES games last year.)

What's wrong with that. More Sonic Boom is a good thing.

 

[Revven]

41 minutes.

Okay, yeah, this is gonna be a big one.

 

[Kriken]

Bingo?

I see Bayonetta 2, "Please Understand" Dixie Kong, and Kirby

 

[Hasney]

What's wrong with that. More Sonic Boom is a good thing.

Oh lawdy Jesus no. not unless Knuckles has done some leg days.

STILL HYPED FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THOUGH

Yes the people in this thread are the obsessed ones.

Just got an email from NOE about the direct.

Hype, directly to me.

We don't have much positivity these days, so these Nintendo Direct threads are a welcome change of pace; I mean, I am pretty sure that there will be a lot of critical and negative articles and threads on various websites after this thing is done, but as long as you accept the fact that people will bitch no matter what Iwata will show and not show tonight, everything is kind of okay

I think even some of the biggest Nintendo critics like to dive into these threads now and then; the hype, pictures, rumors, speculations and the general high difficulty to predict what they might show creates are a perfect recipe for a entertaining thread

 

[Jucksalbe]

That'd be nice, but we still don't know why they removed them from the Wii VC, so it might simply not be possible.

 

[ASIS]

Not my cup of tea. That's what's wrong.
