BBBEEWEEEEOOOOWWWWWOWWOWOWOSOOSOSKSOSK

 

[Crayolan]

I doubt we'll see Zelda U, they said they're not showing NX games.

They'll be saving 30 seconds of offscreen gameplay for the game awards with Miyamoto and Aonuma promising that it will come "soon".

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Bro, the 3DS is dead. There are only like 5 or 6 major first party games for it confirmed for the first half of next year.

I wasn't being serious

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

what if it's bad

It very well could be a huge disappointment. If they ain't talking NX I guess we won't be hearing about the new Zelda either. :^0

 

[Chû Totoro]

So people are getting hyped just to be dissapointed.

I'm so hyped for my biggest disappointment ever !!!

Spoiler

no not really, people are making the pre direct waiting like a party... if no crazy predictions could be made so many heads would explode not being capable of containing so much anticipation.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Oh yeah... let's get it.

Praying for no, or at least limited, disappointment...

Spoiler

Ah, fuck it. I'll be hype with no regard for disappointment, bring it on!

 

[Lionel Richie]

Time for the bombs, I'm so fucking ready.

 

[The Giant]

FINALLY, HYYYYYYPPPPEEEEE!!!!!!!

 

[Trago]

TP HD footage will be glorious.

 

[marmoka]

Mario Tennis U!!
Animal Crossing U!!
Starfox U!!
Metroid Federation Force 3DS!!
Mitomo!!

Expecting nothing but shit :'(
I also see coming new info about SMTxFE, but I totally lost all my interest on that game. And even if I cannot wait much longer for Xenoblade, I feel like I already know everything I need to from that game.

I will watch this Direct anyway...

In my dreams, this direct has Twilight Princess HD, Zelda U, and SMT IV: Final.

 

[PadWarrior]

Nah, Smash DLC is probably the only guaranteed announcement of this Direct. We're right around the normal time for new DLC to be announced.

What exactly is normal time for smash dlc? You guys loved to get super hyped and then when your dreams don't happen the thread goes to hell

 

[J@hranimo]

Oh shit I forgot about Mario Maker lol. BRING ON THE SLOPES.

 

[Beelzebufo]

What exactly is normal time for smash dlc? You guys loved to get super hyped and then when your dreams don't happen the thread goes to hell

We've gotten Smash DLC characters and stages in regular alternating intervals.

 

[Mashing]

I'm hoping they have have a nice tribute at the beginning of the video for Iwata. Using humor of course, it doesn't need to be all somber.

 

[Chase17]

Thank goodness.

 

[Rodolink]

That rumour is officially debunked

http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/11-12-2015/

Is also weird they state that no? I doubt they'll talk about NX and mobile but why not simply let people expect whatever

 

[Francokid1]

I have a physics test at 5pm est on the 12th...

I hope for everything in that rumor list + #FE

 

[DeuceGamer]

Didn't they say in the investor meeting that there would be more game announcements for the holidays? Twilight Princess HD would be great as I've been wanting to replay it anyway and decided to hold off after the rumors surfaced.

 

[Nbz]

Not holding my breath for this one, but glad to have Directs back!

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I've been waiting for this. I think they'll show a tribute for Iwata before they can into the meat of things. Regardless though, I am hyped.

 

[Nirolak]

Is also weird they state that no? I doubt they'll talk about NX and mobile but why not simply let people expect whatever

To avoid disappointing their fans and investors.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I'm OK with 3DS news

Spoiler

SEGA 3DS CLASSIC RETAIL RELEASE IN THE WEST!

I'd just be happy to get a download of Puyo Puyo 2 without having to buy a load of games I already got.

-Remaining Amiibo lineup (Roy, Ryu, et al) announcement

Let's be ambitious here. Series 2 animal crossing. Hmm how about Waluigi and Daisey amiibo with SSB and Mario Tennis functionality (in former they are just Luigi and Peach).

 

[deleted]

I'm looking forward to some Smash DLC news - it's the only thing that I expect.
I guess one character after the direct may be possible, it's been some time since the release of Ryu and Lucas.

 

[Triforce141]

Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario Golf World Tour came out the same day in the US.

Oh, well then my case is dead.

 

[-Horizon-]

Wonder if we'll see an english dubbed #FE trailer. Or a US date at least lol

They'll probably talk about XenoX again and tell us when those improvement patches can be downloaded before the game is out.

 

[Ryce]

What exactly is normal time for smash dlc? You guys loved to get super hyped and then when your dreams don't happen the thread goes to hell

There's been a Smash Bros. DLC release approximately every two months since April. The last set released on September 30, so we're probably due for something.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Is also weird they state that no? I doubt they'll talk about NX and mobile but why not simply let people expect whatever

Because they don't want people getting too excited for NX games? They also don't want people to not watch it because they think Miitomo will be there.

 

[orioto]

You know it's been a rough generation when people's excitement for a Nintendo direct are mostly about DLC and hd remasters.

 

[Revven]

Mario Tennis U!!
Animal Crossing U!!
Starfox U!!
Metroid Federation Force 3DS!!
Mitomo!!

Expecting nothing but shit :'(

In my dreams, this direct has Twilight Princess HD, Zelda U, and SMT IV: Final.

Miitomo won't be discussed as mobile is not being discussed as per Nintendo's Direct page.

 

[Bullza2o]

It's back!!!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

What exactly is normal time for smash dlc? You guys loved to get super hyped and then when your dreams don't happen the thread goes to hell

Every 2 months or so. The Smash 4 Wii U anniversary is coming up as well.

 

[RayearthRob]

I reeaally lo HD remaster. Maybe more than some new games!

 

[mdubs]

Can someone with more photoshop skills than I get do an updated version of this?

 

[Diddy Kong]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES SMASH DLC

 

[brainchild]

To avoid disappointing their fans and investors.

I hope they do prefaces like that in the future. It would go a long way towards keeping expectations in check.

 

[Real Hero]

You know it's been a rough generation when people's excitement for a Nintendo direct are mostly about DLC and hd remasters.

Your not really wrong but people would get excited for Smash Bros and Zelda no matter what

 

[foxuzamaki]

ITS HAPPENING

 

[notaskwid]

If you have to have to write that, then you already made your mind, so why makes such a comment?

If they lower the price on titles like Mario World 3D and Mario Kart 8 I might just reconsider it. Or announce a subscription service akin to PS Plus

 

[Jonneh3003]

I don't want to give my sources away or anything but:
Earthbound 5
Startropics 5
Super Mario Bros. 5
Wii U CD Attachment (With announcement of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: CD Edition)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD 5 (special edition has a Wii U CD Edition)
Some DLC for Game and Wario

 

[RiggyRob]

Cool, I can do 10pm.

Question is, does Kimishima make an appearance, or does he leave it to Trinen/Shibata/Morimoto?

 

[Sectorseven]

It seems late for holiday announcements, assuming that's what it is.

Most companies already have their holiday products on sale, let alone announcing them.

 

[10k]

Hell, it's about time.

*closes helmet*

Dammit I just started a Starcraft II playthrough last night to get ready for LotV and I wanted to post this lol.

 

[Crayolan]

What exactly is normal time for smash dlc? You guys loved to get super hyped and then when your dreams don't happen the thread goes to hell

From the smash ballot thread yesterday:

Some relevant length of times:

60 days between the initial release of Mewtwo and the Lucas/Roy/Ryu update, though 47 days separate the two going by Mewtwo's normal availability date.
47 days between the Lucas/Roy/Ryu update and the dual 64 stage release.
61 days between the release of the dual 64 stages and the Mario Maker update.
40 days (give or take based on time zones) between the Mario Maker update and today.

The original release of Star Fox Zero was on November 20th (next Friday), so the time between then and the Mario Maker update would be 51 days. Black Friday is the Friday after that, and the length of time between the Mario Maker update and Black Friday would be 58 days.

Based on all this, the time does seem right for an update within the next two and a half weeks. The initial release of Star Fox Zero looks timed pretty well for a co-promotion had Star Fox Zero not been delayed. And I would think they would definitely want to get something out before Black Friday as that would be a pretty big promotion (in lieu of like, anything else).

Just some numbers for thought.

Smash news seems pretty likely.

 

[Boss Doggie]

this is me upon the announcement

 

[Yukinari]

I don't want to give my sources away or anything but:
Earthbound 5
Startropics 5
Super Mario Bros. 5

[butman]

Really what REAL bomba do you expect from this direct guys?

 

[Dark_castle]

Just saying Nintendo, it's never too late to bring Dragon Quest VII 3DS to the west!!!

 

[Zalman]

How am I supposed to get any work done in the next two days

 

[TheDinoman]

I thought this day would never come.

 

[Kouichi]

Yay! I don't care what shows up, I'm just happy to see them back
