Strange thing to announce on a JP Direct.

I hope for Majora's Mask, and some nice surprised. Hopefully VC related, we haven't got a new game since May.

No chance for big announcements I'd say, since it's Japan only.

 

[Celine]

Yeah. Because you will get Euro release dates from a Japan only Direct.

Oh
*returns to work*

 

[L~A]

No chance for big announcements I'd say, since it's Japan only.

Err... yes, there's a chance of getting big announcements. It simply won't be anything global link Majora's Mask 3D.

Well, it's not like we got much longer to wait anyway

 

[Dr. Buni]

Big announcements, uh... Come on, Ridley.

 

[L~A]

Big announcements, uh... Come on, Ridley.

Damn it, didn't want to leak that! I'm sorry Sakurai!...

 

[Mpl90]

Thinking about it, any news about who is hosting it? Is it going to be showmanship with Iwata or without him (the latter is probably what's going to happen, IMHO).

 

[CHusson91]

One more hour! I want some big announcements!

[mickagau33]

My hopes are for more Bravely Second, but since they just held a special event and they mentioned TGS for upcoming news, I suppose it's very unlikely.

 

[upandaway]

Whoa forgot about this. I'm guessing it'll be about the MK DLC and Pokken and stuff like that.

Will be nice to be surprised but I'm keeping expectations low. Just overview of the stuff announced outside of Directs with some new detail

3DS Direct

 

[kubus]

So is anyone taking over Cheesemeister for translations?

I know some Japanese so I can translate the gist of it but my proficiency is nowhere near that of Cheese. I wouldn't mind trying to translate the more interestings parts of the Direct but if there is someone else more capable then I won't bother.

Probably Iwata, I think he should have fully recovered by now.

No it won't... it's a 3DS Direct, there won't be Wii U or Arcade stuff. Besides, even if there was, you'd think they'd have waited before revealing the MK8 DLC.

 

[upandaway]

3DS Direct

Oh yeah whoops. Are there any equivalents on the 3DS side?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Is this going to be the main thread?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

There will be a BIG announcement watch

 

[VLiberty]

Mario vs DK coming to 3ds too as hinted by someone at Nintendo would be my personal megaton

 

[Rich!]

I actually had a dream about majora's mask last night

thats how desperate I am

Play it on the N64 then?

 

[mStudios]

Why am I hyped again?

 

[L~A]

When did that happen? First time I'm hearing of this.

 

[Glass Rebel]

dat 20fps tho

 

[VLiberty]

When did that happen? First time I'm hearing of this.

They were talking about 3ds/wiiu integration and said they were doing something with MVSDK, don't have the link at the moment as I'm on mobile

I think he means the GBA one. The one that Ambassadors got

dat 20fps tho

What if he is a PAL user?

dat <15fps

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

i would like a classic mario vs donkey like the classic gamaeboy one & the gba version

This is the Pipemania-like game, I was referring to the lemmings-inspired game

here is the link, though is pretty vague, i know
m.ign.com/articles/2014/06/20/nintendo-teases-future-communication-between-wii-u-and-3ds



edit:the Gba game is another thing, that was a followup to DK94
But yeah, I'd love a new take on that too

Were you playing on 3DS??

WiiU exclusive?

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Is it still Japan only?

 

[Glass Rebel]

What if he is a PAL user?

dat <15fps

c'mon, I don't remember it being that bad




right?!

 

[VLiberty]

I still can't believe we went from a mostly <25 fps gen to a mostly 60fps one.

And then we want back to 30

 

[Thoraxes]

Thrusters set to maximum. Hype engaging.

 

[Earthpainting]

We are a little too close to TGS to see big surprises I think. It'd be more likely that they'll mostly discuss upcoming announced titles.

Dragon Quest VII in Europe.
Please, please, please.

I like the way you think. It's not likely that they'd make European announcements in a Japan-only Direct, but it's not impossible!

 

[AmyS]

Wow, this 3DS Direct is a matter of minutes away, not hours.

New Advanced Wars / 3DS Wars from Intelligent Systems, for the love of all that is good and lovely!

 

[Rich!]

c'mon, I don't remember it being that bad




right?!

of course it was.

OOT on the N64 ran at 17fps maximum on PAL consoles and dropped to as little as 15fps. Majora's Mask was about 17fps max, but reguarly ran at 15fps and dropped to 10fps in certain scenes where extra lighting was used (such as the dark area of woodfall temple) or in Great Bay.

That's the truth. And that's why Majora's Mask desperately needs an update.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Play it on the N64 then?

How about no

 

[L~A]

33 minutes long, apparently.

 

[AmyS]

Even on NTSC, OoT on N64 was anything but smooth.

It was a revelation to play OoT 3D at 30fps on 3DS.

 

[Rich!]

Were you playing on 3DS??

actually I was inside the game

shit got real

 

[MagiusNecros]

33 minutes long, apparently.

23 minutes of talking. 10 minutes of footage obviously.

 

[Mpl90]

It's 33 minutes long.

 

[MilkyOctave]

If they show Pokémon ORAS, then I'd like to see character customization returning, but they are most likely going to show us mega evolutions instead...

Majora's Mask would be a megaton, but they're most likely going to tease us with even more references, lol.

 

[-Horizon-]

Pokémon Conquest 2 or The World Ends With You 2 or anything SMT would be fantastic surprises.

 

[BY2K]

33 minutes is pretty long for a Japan only Direct...

 

[EatChildren]

Sources close to Iwata have confirmed to me this will be the Snake Direct, announcing Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 3D remakes exclusively for Wii U, Metal Gear Rising 2 exclusively for 3DS, a third "Snakes" DLC pack for Mario Kart featuring Solid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, and VENOM SNAKE along with Metal Gear themed carts and tracks, and finally the legendary hero himself SOLID SNAKE for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS.

So we're not expecting anything huge, right? considering its only for Japan?

 

[tonyh24613]

Likely Smash bundle and MH4G information.

I'll laugh if they announce a Metroid 3DS game.
