Too soon for a tease of the Ruby Sapphire remake right?
I honestly want to see ZERO Pokemon in this Direct.

If there's one series that we can wait on, it's Pokemon. We've already seen B/W and B2/W2 and then X/Y recently, never mind the spinoffs.

Pokemon is just another Nintendo series that's TOO OBVIOUS. We know there will be another one (likely "Pokemon Z") so there's no reason to tease or show it.

I was also pissed that one of the previous Directs (the E3 one, I think?) had X/Y footage, especially after there was already a Pokemon-focused roundtable planned. Pokemon is huge, yes, but I feel that it should just get its own Developer Direct or something at this point.
 
That'd be nice. I honestly feel that Majora's Mask 3D will be a thing. Probably won't be realized this Spring but I'm pretty sure there's demand for it.

The problem with Zelda is, people keep asking for it (a new one in particular) even though we've actually seen plenty of Zelda games recently. Yes, they're not original and are just re-releases (Oracle games) or HD remasters (Wind Waker) but still, it's possible for Zelda to be over-saturated. Majora's Mask 3D seems like a very natural thing to happen ONLY because of the existence of Ocarina of Time 3D.

As for seeing a new Zelda game in this Direct or even E3, I don't know. People obviously want it but again, how much Zelda is too much Zelda? Don't Nintendo fans want to see a shift towards other Nintendo properties, old or new?

It's true that the most diehard, buy-everything zelda fans may burn out. They should probably start chilling pretty soon if all they plan to do is double-down on the remakes and direct sequels.

However, there are a large number of possible customers who have bought, like, OoT and TP and skipped some or all other zeldas. A darker zelda would appeal to such a wide audience relative to the various recent zelda products that franchise fatigue would pretty much evaporate instantly. Darker doesn't even mean violent, mature, or edgy. It's just that for an adventure game, some amount of percceived danger is necessary, and many people will never get that from something like wind waker.
 
Fuck this shit, 9 and 10 happened recently. Let the other Rock variants get some fucking attention. X, Trigger, .EXE and then maybe we can go back to Rock or Zero.

I loved Mega Man as a kid, but I always did like the X series more... but I feel like X3 was the last good one. I'd happily take a new Mega Man X game if they want to give me one. That's why I Kickstarted Mighty No. 9 :P

I'll accept a new X game. X1-5 and X8 were outstanding games. X1 is one of the best games of all time. So yeah X9 16-bit would also be acceptable.

But it has to be MM11. 8-bit Mega Man 11. On Wii U and 3DS. Published by Nintendo like when they put out MM6.

I'm the same(though I think X Command Mission is the last good one) and I would love another X game.

That said, I would settle for (though not buy) a Trigger or .EXE title. Rock and Zero have continued to get enough lead time in the last few years that they can be given a break.
 
I'm really scared X will be an online only RPG without a story. That will break me.
I'm really dying for an epic JRPG story.
 
I want to see:

- Proof that Nintendo is going all in to save Wii U both with 1st party and 3rd party software
- "Only for GamePad" games
- New 3rd party partners
- Project CARS mention, "racing wheel support will be coming as well"
- iOS-to-eShop games labeled "better with buttons"
- Virtual Console blow out. New N64 emulator with 1080p/60 for all games.
- Majora's Mask 3D + Twilight Princess HD
- Epic Yarn 2 starring Yoshi
- What's next for Retro Studios
- More GameCube/Wii HD ports
- uDraw'ish kids software.
- EA Sports back for this fall
- My personal port wish: Ultra Street Fighter IV

What I think we'll see:

- More from Mario Kart 8
- More from Smash Bros
- DS Virtual Console
- FAST Racing Neo
- Renegade Kid @ 3DS: Moon Chronicles, Cult County
- Maybe 1 surprise for Wii U (they seriously need SOMETHING to get people talking)
 
Wow, almost 4000 posts in this thread in 24 hours! I love it :)

By the way, has Nintendo commented on why they announce these Nintendo Direct so late? Its usually announced the day before they are aired.

The game looks more or less like a follow-up to Xenoblade. Not entirely the same, obviously, but perhaps in the same spirit in terms of game structure.

Xenoblade was really successful overall, right? I don't think Nintendo would mess with that.

HAHAHAHHAHA

No. It performed meh to bad in Japan. It performed better in North America and Europe but even then it didn't do anything to really write home about.

All that, but no Battletoads?
