This thread moves too fast.

 

[Scooter155]

Gosh this thread is moving too fast to read... I know! I'll clutter it up with a pointless post!

Seriously though, you guys, is there any chance at all that GAF won't go down?... I can't watch the direct and I want to know what happens!

 

[Schnozberry]

just out of curiosity what happens if this direct is not a disappointment and actually brings out tons of megatons and announcements?

what happens next?

Lots of back pedaling from people who said they would buy a Wii U under circumstance A or B.

 

[sechsterangriff]

My money is on a price-drop. In amazon.it I trust!

 

[-Horizon-]

This one is gold.

Suck it Yoshi! lol

 

[Fey]

sry thought we were comparing penises

 

[HUELEN10]

Fourty One Days. The first fourty will flood us with information and on the fourty first, all who are left will rewarded with understanding.

So god said to Noah Iwata that there's gonna be a floody floody of games? Awesome news.

 

[fred]

Awwww...what a lovely puss!!! ^^^

I'm doing my best not to get hyped...but I can feel it building up despite my resistance...when will I ever learn lol

Edit: Aw bum, typed too slowly...the moggy is on the last page!

 

[Kolma]

I wonder if the stream will be good enough

If only they would stream on youtube like Japanese stream!

 

[fluffydelusions]

doesn't that happen anyway?

Not always but I think today is NPD too isn't it?

First off, the idea that Nintendo Directs are always disappointing is purely bullshit; we always had nice surprises with the main Directs. The whole narrative is factually wrong, read every ND thread

Secondly, to answer your question: the GAF servers will be down for a long time, depending on how huge the announcements are. January 2013 ND was crazy

NeoGAF servers

1) GAF goes down

2) 423049234029384098 new threads are created

3) Nintendo GAF cries tears of manly Reggie joy

4) Let it be known that 2/13 was the day there were no Please Understands, there was only Reggie.

Until reality strikes us in the face with NPD numbers

 

[Grizzo]

Now you're just hurting yourself.

[dark_prinny]

I´m in GAF!

 

[Aquamarine]

RIGHT AFTER THE NINTENDO DIRECT IS NPD AND INSIDERS AND JUICY WII U SALES INFORMATION

=


GAF is down for 5 hours

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Those are all projects we know about, and wouldn't warrant these hype levels on normal occasions. Like if they just delivered that information in random press releases.

But this is a Nintendo Direct thread and nothing makes sense in this world. Yet all is okay.

Some people are very excited about games we already know of.

Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8 and X are heavy hitters to many.

The possible unknown would be a bonus.

 

[RionaaM]

Mobile GAF that

But my phone's 3G connection is crap. Besides, it won't help if GAF is down :/

Let's hope there's not much traffic today. I may be able to catch the last 10 minutes.

Gaf servers am cry. NPD sales results thread am cry.

 

[lordfroakie]

So it starts at 3 or 4pm? Nice

 

[QuantumBro]

Not always but I think today is NPD too isn't it?

Right after the Nintendo Direct too.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Only a few more hours. Glad to see the direct is air right after i get home from work, usually.

 

[MetalGuardian]

Remember that one direct that leaked several minutes early? That was crazy!

 

[BassForever]

Most of the directs have been pretty good, the few disappointing ones are few and far between

The people who are always disappointed aren't Nintendo fans

 

[Brofield]

1) GAF goes down

4) Let it be known that 2/13 was the day there were no Please Understands, there was only Reggie.

And the Lord spake, "Thine bodies were ready, and thus you shall be rewarded."

And the people rejoiced, and there were nary an understanding to be had.

[pvpness]

Endless Ocean HD? Can I get a high five?

Anyone?

*high five*

I don't ever hype, but EO HD would force my hand.

 

[KiTA]

This isn't the Year of Yoshi, this is the Year of the Slime

I think it would be hilarious if the direct got "interrupted" by "A Slime Approaches, Command_?" popping up.

 

[maxcriden]

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?

Majora's Mask OST and Kirby's Epic Yarn OST are awesome.

 

[Tony91]

Retro Studios Please

 

[Freezie KO]

Announcement that would be amazing: Brand new retail game with a unique and compelling gameplay idea (with potentially a new IP).

Announcement that would be very good: Advance Wars 3DS

Announcement that would be whatever: New trailers and release dates for existing games, plus a forgettable downloadable like NES Remake or Dr. Luigi

Announcement that would piss me off: Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon Wii U Upgrade (or other ports)

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

what happens next?

Disappointment?

*runs away*

Spoiler

Hope it isn't a letdown!

 

[Dicer]

NeoGAF servers

Lol windows server...cute

 

[darkstar0155]

came to the thread for the gifs, have not been dissapointed

 

[fred]

I expect the internet would implode lol

 

[SuperSah]

LOL.

 

[Stormwatch]

I'm cautiously optimistic on this one. Wounded Nintendo can go one of 2 ways: awesome or stupid. Lets hope they pull off some sort of 3DS style awesomeness and blow everyone away.

 

[Oersted]

sry thought we were comparing penises

I won.

 

[Phazon]

Some people are very excited about games we already know of.

Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8 and X are heavy hitters to many.

The possible unknown would be a bonus.

This. If those 3 are being shown with great trailers and/or timeframes, the Direct has already delivered for me. Everything else is a bonus.

 

[Andrea23]

X launch date, pl0x.

 

[Salih]

this thread moves lighting fast. maybe we hit page 100 until the ND starts.

 

[Exterminieren]

Those are all projects we know about, and wouldn't warrant these hype levels on normal occasions. Like if they just delivered that information in random press releases.

But this is a Nintendo Direct thread and nothing makes sense in this world. Yet all is okay.

We have seen footage of X a grand total of twice. Bayonetta 2 has been properly showcased once. Both of these were the best part of a year ago. Given the amount of hype and discussion that those two titles generated, the likelihood that they're being shown off makes the hype for this make perfect sense.

 

[Disorientator]

Now you're just hurting yourself.

Spoiler

It's ok, I'm a masochist

 

[eojoko]

The wait for this would be so much more difficult if I wasn't completely absorbed in Bravely Default right now.

 

[fluffydelusions]

So do we have realistic expectations here? I thought they were only discussing games up until spring release?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Retro Studios Please

I don't even expect them at E3.

 

[flatearthpandas]

Gosh this thread is moving too fast to read... I know! I'll clutter it up with a pointless post!

There's a chance. If you can't watch and Gaf goes down, you can generally get a play-by-play on GameFAQs

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Did that joke just fly over your head?

 

[dampflokfreund]

So do we have realistic expectations here? I thought they were only discussing games up until spring release?

Not only, "focused". Also Smash and X are being shown, which are releasing not in spring!

 

[Mr. RPG]

I'm so ready for Dragon Quest VII.

Bring on the hype!

I'm gonna buy 7 copies I swear. Make that 70. I'll have my own tower of Dragon Quest VII.

I'm sure of it! It's gonna be announced.

I'm so sure. My patience is being rewarded.

 

[kankki]

I just want a new Metroid game from Retro, honestly.

Dat rumored second team.

A new trilogy o_o

 

[Chairhome]

No I think the ND before E3 last year were more hype?

Man, I've turned my family into such big Nintendo fans that they could show us new trailers of already announced games and we'll still be happy.
