Nintendo Direct coming November 12 [Over]

GamerJM said:
The performance issues in X/Y are a non issue because it's a turn-based RPG. If it was another genre the game still wouldn't be unplayable but they'd be totally noticeable and detrimental to the game.

I played in 2D btw, and they're not as much of a problem there either.

The performance issues in these Gen 6 games are literally game crippling. Triple battles are a utter slog to go through. Horde battles are even worse but GF still had the arrogance to implement them as they were. There are so many 3DS games that run and look better than XY and ORAS even with 3D on.

They really have no excuse. All I can hope is they at least make the upcoming game be able to take advantage of the new 3DS hardware.
 
If we get a Pokemon Z, and it's an updated version of XY, I wonder what are the chances of Amiibo support for Nintendo cosplay outfits for the trainer?

Do you think we'll see Pokemon Z in this Joe? Even just an announcement trailer or something?

Before about 1:30am today, I'd have said probably not...now Masuda has said to watch the Direct, I don't know anymore

What about the Zygarde cores? I doubt it will just be different form of Zygarde you can change with a key item or whatnot.

Besides, what's exactly crazy about adding new Pokémon mid generation? Compatibility issues? GF clearly don't give a crap about that. They've been introducing incompatible formes, moved, and now Mega Pokémon in newer games since Platinum.

Zygarde Core is the epitome of a different form of Zygarde. It's a form of Zygarde quite clearly.

The introduction of new Pokémon signals the start of a new generation. They aren't going to add some into it mid-generation, especially when we don't even have all the Pokémon coded into XY yet

I...I think you're right. Anything that isn't shown tonight or at the Game Awards will not release on Wii U. Spring/Summer 2016 is the end for Wii U unless...NX is a portable console only.

I forgot about the Game Awards.... Then Zelda trailer will be there if he is on Wii U still. We got trailers back on the game cube about Twilight Princess before we knew was coming to Wii as well right? I don't see the reason why Zelda Wii U cound't been show before Xmas to get more sales, and later on announce on the E3 that is coming to NX as well.

TP HD this Nintendo Direct (Im possitive they have it ready for Xmas as well), and Zelda Wii U on the Game Awards. I see it :)

It could still be just about Pokken, right...?

Nothing stops this train
 
There's is almost absolutely zero chance the NX console is coming out in 2016.
I really wish people would stop stating it like its fact.

I think Nintendo is gonna show everything that they got for the Wii U.... why would they wait? This is literally the last Xmash Wii U is gonna see if they are really launching the NX next Xmash, so its gonna be the last big sales that they are gonna have.

Which is the point of waiting to announce the rest of Wii U stuff then? So if there is a real Pikmin 4, Twilight Princess HD, or anything else, it will be shown now.

The next Big thing is the E3 where they will show and focus in NX, so nothing for Wii U probably. The only thing, the new Zelda, which they should probably show something now, to get the people to buy the Wii U.... if they bring it to the NX as well, then they will say on the E3. If they say nothing of the new Zelda now... I would say that its been cancelled and pass it only to NX (mmm unless they dont want to eclipse Zelda TP HD... but I really doubt it... I dont remember, but didnt they announce WW HD and also spoke about the Zelda Wii U with a trailer on one same direct?

This is a very good point and it would be the logical thing to do if 2016 is the year of NX. But as we know Nintendo quite often doesn't act logically especially in terms of PR, a fact that was also highlighted by E3 2015.

I fully expect Nintendo to keep secrecy for games coming after Q2 2016 on Wii U and those will be buried next year under the NX announcements and such.

Simply moving Pokemon to N3DS won't "fix" it.

The problem is the models. They're using hi-polygonal models, apparently equivalent to the Sm4sh Pikachu render. Even with the N3DS you will still the problem. The reason is that they made models as baseline for universal Pokemon model usage.

Goddamn it, really? They're are gonna used those lifeless washed out looking models for future games? Fuck.

You're mistaking models for textures.

The models are used in other games such as Pokédex 3D Pro, PokéPark series and scaled down for the Mystery Dungeon series.

You're confusing textures to models.

You should look up their 2013 E3 Pokemon roundtable vid. The models are just that, models. They don't have detailed texture and anything. They then apply specific filters for the games they're going to appear to.

And on the contrary I disagree on the XY models being washed out and "lifeless". I'd argue they're probably the most animated/lively among the series next to Battle Revolution. Problem is that people don't look at the feature that brings so much personality with them.
 
Would love to see Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door get a 3DS release or even a VC version on the WiiU. Wishful thinking I know, but I can hope, right?
 
I am feelin' the hype.

It dawned on me that I haven't played a single Nintendo game since Iwata died. Today that changes.

Hello, Yo-Kai Watch.
I know Nintendo published it, but it still counts!

The speed of the three new gifs is a bit too fast. If you could tone down the speed, they would be much better. Still, thanks for your work!

Just want that the fake leak of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door be real.

I got hyped for like ten seconds when I read this but then I remembered paper jam. With that coming out, I wouldn't expect TTYD to come too. Not that I mind, I love the M&L games.

I'm fairly sure that using HANS on the new 3DS lets you change the clock speed in game and make the Gen6 games run at a better frame rate in battle.
 
found this, is this apt?

The slowdown is caused by multiple hi-polygon Pokemon being rendered though.

Doesn't explain why they can't even render the overworld in 3D. It's just a shit engine that's badly optimised. Game Freak were working with not much more than GBA hardware for the best part of 10 years, not much of a surprise that they struggled making a full 3D game. There is no need for the Pokemon models to be that detailed on the 3DS screen, just a poor design decision.

I actually did the speed fast on purpose, based on Tri Forced user excitement experience XD. Later on if you want I can change the speed ;)

Speaking about Tri Forced, the DLC is a given on this Direct as well right? I forgot about that one.
