What am I looking at and what's this Direct?

 

[Interceptor]

I am too sober for this.

 

[Slowdive]

Oh my god, I need this.

 

[civilstrife]

I am 27 and what is this.

 

[BGBW]

Best Direct of all time.

 

[Orakio Rob]

I've been burned before by this kind of game (I've jumped into the Animal Crossing New Leaf hype and hated the game), but this looks really-extra-roller-coaster fun. The Direct is hilarious!

 

[kulapik]

My body is ready

 

[HaRyu]

So, did Nintendo give fair warning that this Direct was coming, or was this a stealth announcement?

 

[Booty Patrol]

What? There's a direct going on?

 

[StreetsAhead]

I know a lot of people who are going to spend a lot of time with this living out their boy band fantasies.

 

[eXistor]

Holy shit, this looks funny as hell!

 

[whyreggielie]

That was one hilarious direct, it seems like you can do everything in this game? I think I'm going to actually get this.

 

[Peru]

Still pretty confused what exactly this is but I just have to get it. It's like those experimental narrative web games only a full-sized game by Nintendo.

 

[phanphare]

holy shit this is hilarious

"you're so cold blooded Iwata, it's like talking to a dinosaur"

-Reggie

tell him Reg!

 

[Dawg]

Stealth announcement, I knew about it because Nintendo told certain sites.

 

[Aquamarine]

Preach it, Reg.~

 

[cacildo]

Im finding it hard to resist this game. its just too funny

But from what i heard Gaf talking about the japanese version, it aint exactly very good...

Can somebody who played the japanese version answer the following questions?

- Is it true that you have little to none influence in the miis actions?
- The amount of content, is it a little on the light side? I mean, will the game grow repetitive over a short time?
- Is there any kind of multiplayer connection?

 

[Peru]

For those who have played the Japanese one. Can you interact with music here? Like add your own lyrics to some singing or vocoder stuff?

 

[Ridley327]

I like the US logo better.

This explains so much.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Gigaton. Day1 !!!

Need to stock up on acid

 

[zigg]

😮

I'm dying.

I'm dying!

I'm dead.

 

[Busaiku]

That was incredible.

 

[Salih]

I was watching the direct and the only thing in my mind was: You can gif that and that and that and that and that and....

 

[legendofjelda]

Nintendo, go home, you're drunk.

Spoiler

This is awesome!

 

[Yoshi]

I like the US logo better.

Is this real? That's amazing. Wouldn't have thought they'd present this whole thing with so much irony directed at themselves, really nice.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

4 minutes in and I'm already sold.

Please continue.

BUT WHERE IS ERIC

 

[HaRyu]

So much crack was smoked in the making of this Direct.

 

[Principate]

My god that's certainly one way to sell this game went from zero interest to pretty damn mildly interested seems like a great game to have downloaded on your 3DS.

 

[Vyse24]

We need a gif of that moment where the guys face came off and left the Earth, stat.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Holy shit this is pure insanity.

 

[erpg]

I think I've finally been sold on a 3DS.

 

[phanphare]

FF style battle with Bill, Aonuma, Reggie, and Miyamoto against a giant hamburger

what is this game??

edit: my mistake. it was a veggie burger lol

1. You have no influence on what they do, but they will ask your opinion on how to do certain things or where they should go for activities. You decide their interior, clothing and what they eat though.

2. There is a LOT of content but it takes some time to see everything. The island unlocks new places and activities gradually, similar to Animal Crossing. However some dialogue will get repetitive over time.

3. Not sure, there is streetpass though, but I haven't used it much because... Japan imported game in Europe .

For those who have played the Japanese one. Can you interact with music here? Like add your own lyrics to some singing or vocoder stuff?

Yes you can change the lyrics for all the songs!

 

[Tregard]

Can someone please gif the face expanding to cover the Earth?

Oh jeez.

 

[fredrancour]

I now know even less about tomodachi collection than I did before trying to look at those screenshots.

 

[Nzyme32]

This looks incredible!

 

[KojiKnight]

This wasn't even on my radar... now I'm both very curious and very afraid...

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Samus chose Shibata XD

 

[pdk27]

That was either the worst or the greatest thing I've ever seen.

 

[DrWong]

This was so fun to watch.

 

[one_kill]

That was great!

I haven't laughed so much in the longest time!

 

[Tregard]

The idea of simulating being friends with Shibata has made this a day one.

 

[SovanJedi]

I am going to buy this, and I did not know I needed it until this Direct. In fact, I still am not sure if I did need it. What did I just watch? Who are you people?

 

[Tempy]

They should upgrade Miis to have boobs.

 

[Cbajd5]

Can someone please gif the face expanding to cover the Earth?

Oh jeez.

We need a gif of that moment where the guys face came off and left the Earth, stat.

Okay?

Edit: Now with less "t" and more Shibata!

DOUBLE EDIT: Excessive traffic according to Dropbox, so I have to remove them. Where else can I upload them? They're around 6MB max, and used around 20GB of bandwidth or something.

TRIPLE EDIT: Okay they're on minus now.

 

[BGBW]

Time to go through the [thread=425581]old Mii QR code thread[/thread] I guess. Shame most images are broken.

 

[Scanna]

really amazing. I'll watch it again and again

 

[Luigiv]

[kulapik]

The NA direct is even better

 

[jooso]

What is this and why do I need it in my life
