[titusandronicus]

Nintendo Network + announced, £5 a month, gives you online multiplayer access, dedicated servers, and access to every VC game for free. Free month trial with Metroid Prime 4, F-Zero U, and Mario Strikers U.

 

[Mugiwara]

The US stream is up to 16K viewers.....the hype is unstoppable!!!

 

[kaskade]

I am excited. Bummed I haven't been able to play my Wii U as much as I'd like with classes. Hopefully I'll get some more time in the summer to dive into Wind Waker.

 

[ninjarr]

since the wife of the director retweeted NCL's tweet, we can assume it will be shown in some form

Unequivocal proof.

 

[Draconian]

41 minutes long? Soraya Saga, Platinum, and Sakurai tweeting about it? Nintendo, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

 

[Glass Rebel]

might as well watch this

hype engines engaged

anticipating intensifies

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

HOLY SHIT this direct is going to be fucking AWESOMe

 

[Gsnap]

One last post before it all goes down.

This has been the best ND hype thread. Don't really care what happens next. It's been fun.

Let's do this.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Oh so this is starting soon, eh? Welp.. let's do this then..

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Don't forget X by Monolithsoft - since the wife of the director retweeted NCL's tweet, we can assume it will be shown in some form

I want to meet the guy that follows the wife of the director of Monolithsoft.

If the emphasis is on Spring games, we know the following games are in the Spring release window:
- Mario Golf
- Yoshi's New Island
- Layton 6
- Disney Magical Castle
- Mario Kart 8
- Sonic Lost World Yoshi DLC
- the remaining sports of Wii Sports U

And we might also expect some followup on:
- DKC:TF
- Bravely Default
- Wii Fit U

Then we have a bunch of 2014 games that probably won't make sprint but that could be covered:
- Layton vs Phoenix Wright
- Smash Bros
- Bayonetta 2
- DLC for previously released games

And some unlocalized JPN games likely to come over:
- Fossil Fighters 3DS
- Maybe Tomodatchi Collection 3DS

This is my way of saying that I don't seriously expect too much in the way of new game announcements because it'd be pretty easy to fill this length of time with stuff that's a known quantity and closer to the title of the presentation, which emphasizes Spring 2014 games.

Yup, I expect whatever little new stuff we get will be near the end with Wii U games (X, Bayonetta 2) and stuff that might be announced for Japan.

Out of curiosity, what is causing everyone to get really excited? Is this Direct confirmed to be special or something?

 

[The perfect Dark]

Beer is ready
Vodka is ready
GAF is ready
Body is ready

I am ready.

Let's do this.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Will this be the ND thread when it comes on or will there be another one?

Spoiler

Like we could actually be able to post anyway lol

 

[Bullza2o]

Crap my main laptop ran out of battery and the charger isn't with me! Gonna have to use a 7 year old computer, hope it can handle the megatons!

 

[SatoAilDarko]

US stream on TV through Wii U and Gaf on Gamepad. If the youtube stream is fine I'll put the Japan stream on my phone. If the Youtube stream isn't fine I'll put that on my phone.

 

[abstract alien]

Bet we have something to download right after the Direct is over...

 

[Oersted]

I use the better option ;p

 

[ColonelColon]

#believe.

Why would anyone want this? A marginally improved remake for a device with small screens seems like a waste of resources to me. If you're going to remake an old game, at least do it for the most powerful system at your disposal.

its going to crash!

Holy fuck I forgot all about Mario Strikers! I hope we get a new one announced here.

 

[Loco4Coco]

This is my first live Direct, pretty excited!

 

[Hasney]

Right, settled on US stream purely because YouTube runs smoother for me, especially in HD. BRING IT ON.

 

[Voliko]

via your browser go to the nintendosite and watch

also some hype music i believe it is the same guy that did some xenoblade tracks.

Damn, this pretty good. This is actually by the guy doing the X music. He didn't do any in Xenoblade. I've never heard his stuff since it's mostly anime.

[Mr. RPG]

Believe.. Believe.. Believe.. Believe.. Believe.

 

[NotLiquid]

Disaster or resounding success,
it has been great serving with you GAF

 

[fred]

Ooooh!!! The countdown is increasing my hype levels...Aaaaargh!!! lol

I'll be happy just to hear about Bayonetta 1 coming to the Wii U tbh.

 

[SuperSah]

Energy drinks CHECK

Food CHECK

Bombs CHECK

13 minutes to go, and I'm still halfway from home. I'm not gonna make it, I'm not gonna make it!

Because OOT 3D is fucking awesome?

It's been a honor talking with you all; alas, Neogaf servers will drift us apart. Bless thy NintyGaf!
