Support NeoGAF

[SweetDonuts]

Not long now, Iwata will save us from the doom and smartphone talk

 

[Nzyme32]

Really hoping nintendo are doing something special today. Its about time nintendo were taken more seriously and get people talking again!

 

[DrWong]

This thread is moving fast... Gaf is going to collapse, soon.

 

[Hasney]

It's shameful. How many times are they going to stir up this insane hype only to be completely and utterly disappointed.

I gave up being excited for these things with the last shitty ND.

Please. Did you SEE Donkey Kong? Megaton footage.

 

[March of the Crabs]

I always forget, can I stream this live on my Wii U without resorting to the browser? Or is it only uploaded after the fact?

 

[SoupyFlow]

-Wii U canceled.

-Nintendo and Sega teaming up to release a new console with twice as much power as the PS4.

-Nintendo restructuring their entire multiplayer gaming infrastructure to be more in line with PSN and Xbox Live, including the Friend Codes, which will be terminated.

-Bonus: Nintendo 3DS HD announced

Spoiler

Only in my deepest wet dreams.

The last direct was good though. What are you talking about..?

the browser should be able to play the video live on nintendo's website

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Well maybe this time, it'll be different!!!!!!!!!!

What a joke, haha. I can't wait for the meltdowns afterwards, it's one of my favourite parts.

 

[Mango The Magician]

Come on we have to make at least 4 more pages before the direct starts!

 

[NeoRausch]

Are you me? That's exactly what I'm doing!

it's late and it's a Nintendo direct.
that's the only conclusion!

 

[CrimsonCommie]

We were somewhere around neoGAF on the edge of the internet when the hype began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit anxious; maybe you should drive...." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge keese, all swooping and screeching and diving around the train, which was going about a hundred miles an hour towards the Nintendo Direct.

lmao that was great!

 

[rokero]

They're saying the Shining announcement isn't an RPG, so I'm guessing it's a mobile thing and away from the Direct.

fuck ..... there's still hope it might be for 3ds ..... let me dream

 

[SoraanTribal]

Hmm, what Xenoblade song shall I listen to while waiting for the direct to start?

 

[dengatron]

really hoping i see something that helps me justify my wii u purchase outside of w101/rayman legends that i already have. really looking forward to x and bayonetta 2, and obviously smash and kart.

 

[Hasney]

Its the same length as their E3 Direct, may very well be the longest Direct ever. We also have tweets from Platinum, Sakurai and Soraya which 99% confirms bayonetta, Smash and X will be shown.

More than enough reasons to be hyped.

 

[Trevelyan9999]

What is great about this is that the hype is magnified due to it only being announced yesterday. 41 minutes is a long fucking time and I hope they only focus on 3DS for 10 minutes or less.

I expect online multiplayer features in detail for Mario Kart 8, new Smash trailer, final name and gameplay details in new trailer for X and new game announcements.

 

[Macka]

Do we know long this Direct is?

 

[Megidolaon]

31 mins of a Special Nintendo Valentine's Day Tribute featuring Peach and Mario, Link and Zelda, etc.

10 mins of game announcements

 

[Kinsei]

Hmm, what Xenoblade song shall I listen to while waiting for the direct to start?

You Will Know Our Names or Satorl Marsh Night. Can't go wrong with either of them.

 

[kunonabi]

I always forget, can I stream this live on my Wii U without resorting to the browser? Or is it only uploaded after the fact?

what's the problem with the browser? It never gives me any trouble.

 

[Nothing1016]

Do we know long this Direct is?

41 amazing minutes

 

[Vlade]

I caught a bad case of the hypes and I'm leaving work early *cough cough*

Even if it's a letdown, hey, at least I left work.





MORE GIFS!!!!!

This thread. NintendoGAF I love you, I'm sick and confused but I won't sleep, not until Iwata says so.

 

[MBR]

This thread is going too fast. Hype levels out of control. Time to sit back with Mario and enjoy some coffee.

I like the way you think.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Almost a hour heckaya!!!

 

[methodman]

Anyone have a direct link to the feed. Neogaf is blocked at work

 

[noal]

To be honest I expect 5+ minutes of Donkey Kong seeing as it will be released soon.

 

[Kiru]

Haha love all those pics in here.

 

[SoraanTribal]

You Will Know Our Names or Satorl Marsh Night. Can't go wrong with either of them.

Those are some very good choices.

 

[bomb]

So hyped!

Please Sumo, please Platinum.

 

[Hasney]

This thread. NintendoGAF I love you, I'm sick and confused but I won't sleep, not until Iwata says so.

YES. I need some sleep, but I need this in my veins first

 

[MagnetoWned]

I like the way you think.

comfy!

 

[sonikokaruto]

wow, botchamania 243 is out!


much like my hype!


hype! hype! hype! hype! hype! hype! hype! hype! hype! hype! hype!

 

[Gummb]

My expectations are not that hight. All I want are release dates for Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Anything else is gravy.

 

[Sheroking]

To be honest I expect 5+ minutes of Donkey Kong seeing as it will be released soon.

Well, yeah. DK and Mario Kart will be focuses, I'm sure, as they're the two big spring releases for Nintendo.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Worst case scenario:

Iwata talks about Wii Fit U, Wii Party, and Wii Sports U for 15 minutes!

Iwata talks about their future non-wearable plans for the next 10 minutes.

Iwata talks about their refocus as a company to the elderly and focus on children for the next 10 minutes.

Iwata brings in Reggie for the last 5 minutes to show more trailers for DKC Tropical Freeze, Yoshi's New Island, and other previously announced titles that doesn't include X!

And the final minute is the world premiere of...

...Watch Dogs!

 

[SporeCrawler]

People care? Im amazed

My prediction

Dkctf footage
Mk 8 footage. Wii sports boxing
Kirby 3 ds
Yoshi 3 ds

The end

 

[Southernfried Pimpin]

How come there are people complaining about the hype in every one of these threads?
Only idiots get truly disappointed. We have 2 years of knowing what to expect.

Anything above already seen footage is gravy.

 

[Uncle0wnage]

Direct HIt!

I made it just for you, GAF.

 

[foxuzamaki]

All dat X

 

[Mr. RPG]

Interestingly the closer we get to the actual Direct launch the less hyped I am.

 

[Otakumegane]

If I can watch this on YT after it's over, why should I watch it live on a crappy stream?

 

[Kinsei]

One hour left!

 

[Mik317]

I hope they deliver.

I just want a day of positive Nintendo news for once....

I mean X, Bayonetta, and Smash is good enough for me but I hope there is that "one more thing" worth freaking out over.

Still tempered expectations tho....I am not going into this expecting : NEW MARIO, ZELDA, STARFOX, HOLD DAT SHIT EVERYONE.

 

[Zornack]

Interestingly the closer we get to the actual Direct launch the less hyped I am.

Opposite for me. I'm not even much of a Nintendo fan and I'm pumped.

 

[Rubixcuba]

Interestingly the closer we get to the actual Direct launch the less hyped I am.

Dont fall prey to anti-hype !

 

[Ragus]

People care? Im amazed

You are right. We should all not care

 

[Jurassic Munson]

Direct HIt!

I made it just for you, GAF.

That about sums it up.

 

[princemarth23]

People care? Im amazed

Yeah, some people like good games. Hard to believe, I know.

Only about 1 hour left.
