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

That depends if you view a new Dragon Quest game huge or not.

[Jaagen]

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.

But is Chiko Quiet?

 

[BY2K]

Iwata's back baby!

Iwata's back!?

 

[-Horizon-]

Iwata's back baby!

Glad to know he's made a good recovery then

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Iwata has never left my heart, don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Seik]

Iwata's back baby!

Yes!! I'm glad he's ok!

 

[Mik317]

Iwata is Back?


Bombs confirmed

Spoiler

Just show something cool to make my insomnia worth it today

 

[Orniletter]

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

Manly tears would be shed.

Iwata pls.

Watch Triple Shockers make an article out of your post: " Well known industry insider and NeoGaf mod EatChicken confirmed.... !

 

[JB2448]

It's so nice to see Iwata tweeting again.

 

[Aostia]

Finally a good news for me, in relation to this Direct. Really happy to see Iwata healthy.

 

[watershed]

What's the best way to watch this on my smartphone? Do youtube live videos work on android? A while ago live streams on Youtube wouldn't play on my S4.

 

[EatChildren]

But is Chiko Quiet?

Yes

And with the Mario Kart DLC comes an update that reintroduces "snaking", right?

Try the NicoNico stream, link is in the OP.

 

[JimPanzer]

so this is where they announce SMTxFE is coming for 3DS instead of Wii U?

 

[OminousShadow]

Glad to see Iwata made a good recovery.

 

[AmyS]

By the way, could you please update the title of the thread? Thanks

 

[Axass]

[Hyperactivity]

[Marcus]

[Pennywise83]

Ok guys, 10mn until Rhythm Tengoku Platinum =)

#BELIEVE

That would be AWESOME.

 

[mrhej]

Iwata is back? Hooray!

Also Sakurai retweeted the direct but that probably means nothing.

 

[Nibel]

Oh boy, Mister Iwata is back?

Sounds legit. Any words on Twin Snakes HD aka, best MGS version ?

 

[Garou]

has anything important ever been announced in japan only directs?

?? It's the other way round, there never are megatons if there is no Japanese one. US/EU-only ones are almost just localizations.

 

[Kurtofan]

Who is chico

 

[watershed]

Try the NicoNico stream, link is in the OP.

The niconico stream isn't working on my phone either. The youtube stream may be working. It's displaying a message saying when the broadcast will start which is better than an error message.

 

[Rich!]

Who is chico

 

[Nibel]

Who is chico

Quiet

 

[urfe]

You know what I would love to see announced, 3DS DX. None of this 2DS for Japan, we get a more expensive model that looks and feels really fucking good.

 

[tonyh24613]

Who is chico

Spoiler

Luma in Japan, lol.

 

[casiopao]

Who is chico

Friend of Chin Chin from Japan.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

iwata lovely to hear from him again i hope he is felling well again

 

[Qurupeke]

Chico? Snake confirmed for Smash, MGS V confirmed for Wii U.

 

[Forkball]

Luma is called Chiko in Japanese. I'm serious.

Save us Shulk.

 

[Mistle]

33 mins?

hard to believe this will be nothing at all. i'm not expecting mega announcments, but i'm sure there will be some exciting things for non-Japanese people.

One tiny smash bros announcement will make me happy.

 

[Mpl90]

Well, we had our first megaton, after all!

Very glad that Iwata is back for a Direct

 

[-Horizon-]

lol thread title

 

[cws]

Oh shit...Iwata is back ?

 

[GasProblem]

Watching this because why not. Majoras Mask 3ds hype!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Iwata? Coolie good to see after a ton of directs and missed e3

 

[Uncle Rupee]

I have a feeling if it was anything important we'd be getting an english direct to go with it.... but I guess I'll watch

 

[Kouriozan]

Let's guess.
More Youkai Watch!

 

[BGBW]

Well since I'm at home I might as well give it a watch. Will use the U to play it in the background.

 

[upandaway]

Iwata is back? Hooray!

Also Sakurai retweeted the direct but that probably means nothing.

If by nothing you mean 99% confirmation that the Nintendo Direct Arrow is in Smash

 

[Boss Doggie]

Still no length huh
