Haha oh god, still no release date for smt4? But this direct announcement is fantastic. I won't be selling my 3ds just yet it seems

 

[Sammy Samusu]

YAAAAAAAAS XTINA WILL PROMOTE THE GAME!

Aguilera’s Mii character also will guest star in a TV commercial and in online videos that show all the exciting things that happen when celebrities mingle with Miis players know personally. The first video in the series can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/sBTHSY5GKKY. Additional celebrities involved with Tomodachi Life will be announced over the upcoming weeks.

I'd get it if I could be gay in it but I'm not optimistic about Nintendo being that progressive.

 

[Wiz]

This Direct is so hilariously crazy. I'm dying

 

[lewisgone]

Watching the heads of Nintendo all ask Samus out.

What is going on?

 

[NeoRausch]

Reggies body is DEFINITELY ready!

 

[donny2112]

Have to think that a lot in the general public are going to think Nintendo is ripping off Tamagotchi with the name of this game. Obviously different words in Japanese, but sound very similar (and easy to confuse) in English. Hope it fairs better than Rhythm Heaven did after conversion to Western shores.

 

[EVH]

You know whats the best thing ever? That with this direct, looks like they don't give a fuck about how much a piece of shit the Wii U became after so many months and no interesting games.

I see the games marketing is in some good hands.

All about dat Tomodachi life!

they have seen the new smash bros. model.

 

[Mojojo]

Direct was awesome .

Wasn't this game that made some fuss in Japan because of gay interactions that weren't intended (either marriage or child birth?), and Nintendo removed it and had to backtrack? ..Can't remember the details.

Bill Trinen's Mii is terrifying.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

That was pretty well done.

Leave this bullshit out please.

 

[-Horizon-]

I actually expected Sakamoto to roll in at the end.

minus.com

Okay, re-upped. I thought minus had a size limit, but I guess I was wrong. I deleted them from the dropbox, so quotes from before the change will either have to be edited or just left the way they are I guess.

 

[RiggyRob]

I didn't see the 1st pic in the EU Direct, but with the gif as well I've just realised the whole subtext of 'Iwata is a dinosaur'. It's mind-blowing that Nintendo has even shown this!

Edit:

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.

SO GOOD

 

[rokero]

This Direct just sold me this game day one .... a bunch of lines on this direct are pure gold

 

[MrT-Tar]

best direct ever? It's definitely up there

 

[NotLiquid]

I think the Direct broke him

There was a glitch that made it so gay relationships would result in pregnancy and it would hard crash the game/corrupt the save. Nintendo patched this out and a lot of sites only reported it as Nintendo stomping out gay interaction.

 

[disco]

I think this could be a surprise hit. I much prefer the NA logo though.

 

[Sadist]

Oh lord Bill Trinnen at the end

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Guess that means no Smash for June...but was June ever summer? I thought it was July-Sept.

I'd get it if I could be gay in it but I'm not optimistic about Nintendo being that progressive.

I think there was a gay marriage glitch in the Japanese version. I say glitch because a patch stopped making it possible.

It may have a size limit, but that limit is much higher than 6 mb

 

[Samurai_Heart]

 

[Volotaire]

What on earth...

 

[Albo]

Came in prepared to be underwhelmed, watched the video, left more than satisfied after one of the weirdest and wackiest directs (even though i'm completely uninterested in the actual game) . Nice to see them having fun with directs recently as opposed to iwata's mostly stoic directs.

 

[Fisico]

That was the best direct ever

And you'd be right not to be optimistic: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/nintendo-to-patch-gay-marriage-bug-in-tomodachi-collection/0115469

 

[8bit]

wat is going on

 

[Holmes]

If there are same-sex relationships, then my husband and I are in. Otherwise they've lost two sales.

 

[nintendors]

finally Nintendo gets what the word HYPE means,,,


Instabuy for me.

 

[And_Gignac]

The Christina Aguilera addition is so random lol

Will probably buy, looks super funny and entertaining.

You need some of REGGIE'S DANCING SEXY PECS to BURROW THEMSELVES INTO YOUR COMPLAINING PIEHOLE

LET THEM BURROW BURROW BURROW INTO YOUR SOUL SOUL SOUL

 

[Waylon Drums]

And you'd be right not to be optimistic: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/nintendo-to-patch-gay-marriage-bug-in-tomodachi-collection/0115469

I remembered that Nintendo did something like that but I forgot it was for this game. Being gay is a pain in the ass. It would be so much easier to be straight and to not even notice this stuff.

Oh well, next life I suppose

 

[Kouriozan]

wat is going on

You can choose any word for the music Miis can play.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

This is a pretty good example of the reporting I was talking about.

 

[Ondore]

There's going to be so many gifs/webms coming out of this... I think the "Iwata, you're like talking to a dinosaur" and "I just can't compete with Bill" quotes will be up there with banderas.gif.

 

[Zia]

I'm in transit and can't watch the Direct. Did we get a launch window, at least?

 

[War Peaceman]

This looks completely insane. I am sold.

 

[Ondore]

I'm in transit and can't watch the Direct. Did we get a launch window, at least?

6/6. (Hey, that works in both regions!)

 

[EvilKatarn]

This is amazing.

Now if they would announce a release date for SMT IV I might just get a 3DS this summer.

 

[gngf123]

I'm in transit and can't watch the Direct. Did we get a launch window, at least?

Release date is June 6 for Europe and North America.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Who wouldn't? He's the bishonen lady's man of the nintendo leaders.

Seems he couldn't beat Iwata XP

99 images album here

 

[MetalGearOnlineK]

This looks absolutely ridiculous. I want it.

 

[m0t0k1]

This direct had me laughing so hard. It is sooo random.

 

[Principate]

So games journalism being games journalism?
