Love the GAF hype gifs.

I can't wait to hear Iwata saying:

"Bravely Default sold exceptionally well in Europe and America. So we are pleased to announce Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest Monsters 2 and Dragon Quest Rocket Slime 3 throughout the year. Therefore 2014 will be the year of Dragon Quest!"

Believe!

 

[Grizzo]

Well this is new. What's the source of this one?

Isn't this from the first Smash game as a commercial? I might be wrong.

Actually it's from the commercial of the Donkey Kong Country port on the GBA

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Not as wrong as drive-by posts

I'm still here.

 

[FreedomFighter]

What an awful timing for this Direct. Wth. Nintendo you idiot. Stop scheduling your events when I'm on class. >_>

 

[kunonabi]

Serious question. What are you guys so excited about? Skimming the thread, I don't see anything besides boundless excitement over nothing in particular. It's kinda strange. Is there an expected major announcement? Rumors of something big coming soon?

helps to actually read the thread.
evidence is pointing to news on X, Bayonetta 2, Smash, and possibly something from Next-level and maybe even an awful new Shining title. The direct is longer than usual clocking in 41 minutes as well at an unusual broadcast time.

 

[Jado]

-We've been getting updates on x once every 6 months or so. There is reason to believe that this is the next one.

-people think there may be some info on Bayo 2 as well.

-It's not uncommon for directs to reveal 1 minor new game and a smash character, potentially even a newcomer.

-We haven't seen too much of mario kart and it is the next big game after DK so we will probably see some stuff from it.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

This thread is absolutely massive and mostly full of GIF reposts and non-specific remarks of excitement lacking in information. Doesn't hurt to ask to make sense of everything.

Hype and party, in Iwata we trust! Time for a drink, since it's an evening/night direct @ EU

This is correct.

 

[Zalman]

In just over three hours...

 

[Spiderduff]

Hope this is what happened:

Iwata: Announce the Direct. Now we wait.

*hours later*

Iwata: How are the hype levels?

Low Tier Nintendo Employee: They are the highest we’ve seen in months. Its getting blown out of propor…

Iwata: SILENCE PEASANT! They believe and WE WILL DELIVER!

*puts on sun glasses*

Iwata, Reggie and Miyamoto: Let’s do this…

 

[Horseress]

Enough of doom and gloom, now it's party time!!!

 

[Mr. RPG]

I can't wait to hear Iwata saying:

Believe!

from Dragon Quest Monsters 2

 

[KojiKnight]

These hypethreads get so bi-polar at times. I'm certainly not helping <_<

Haha. I got goosebumps when I read the "We Will Deliver" part...

You're thinking too hard. It's just mindless fun, much better to hype stuff to the stratosphere and spam fun .gifs than be all mopey beforehand. The tears will come after it all ends.

Dude, don't be like that.

I can honestly say that about 95% of the peeps posting in this thread are just having some good old fashioned fun. I'm pretty certain that the majority is joking and have their expecations in check. This entire thing, the crazyness, is just the Nintendo community having a good laugh.

Allthough, I'm really hyped for new X footage.

 

[Horseress]

Sakurai variation because why not

Not accurate enough, he's happy there, he should be suffering because of his hard and lonely work balancing a game like Smash Bros.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I had no idea ostrich riding was a real thing, this is mind blowing.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Believe

dunno where this is from, but I can't see this without hearing those damn snes voices

dib dibbit dib dibbit

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

That Direct with all those Reggie avatars was hilarious!

 

[Zero148]

the biggest question is, will the servers go down even before the direct starts and we will have the last moments before the bombs are dropped in silence, without sharing our hype?

Hopefully not *HYPE*

 

[Papytendo]

Has the length been revealed yet?

 

[Salih]

Dear God where is this thing headed...

 

[ShadowElliot]

I want localizations of Dragon Quest Monsters 2 and Dragon Warrior 7!

COME ON DIRECT!!!

 

[Aquamarine]

What an awful timing for this Direct. Wth. Nintendo you idiot. Stop scheduling your events when I'm on class. >_>

 

[HUELEN10]

Has the length been revealed yet?

41 minutes apparently, then possibly more.

 

[sonikokaruto]

Believe

not slippy!

 

[ph00p]

Iwata enters with fishnets a thong and a bodice on with a few blood streaks running down his upper lip with his nose full of powder, just screaming nonsense til he passes out... probably not but that would be far more entertaining and informative than what this Direct actually will be.

 

[valouris]

Has the length been revealed yet?

41 big ones

 

[Phazon]

Sakurai variation because why not

Awesome, never seen that one before

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

[Cosmozone]

Awesome to get new X info. It's also the first Direct I can watch live at home. All the previous directs were during work. Hope Sonic Boom doesn't take away too much. Also Strikers, pls.

 

[KojiKnight]

You poor naive fool... Do you really think NintenGaf is that self aware? If we were could we really pull off this hype train every time? Wouldn't the joke get old? Oh no, we super realz.

 

[MetalGuardian]

Being the slave to Nintendo's charming form of abuse that I am, I always like to pump classic Nintendo soundtracks in the hours leading up to the direct. On today's menu, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country 2, and... well, I'm looking for recommendations to fill the remaining one or two slots! What are some other gnarly jams I should be bumping to get my hype to max levels?

 

[Kouriozan]

Has the length been revealed yet?

About 41 mins.

 

[Oblivion]
