- One more thing...Retro Studios and Yoshio Sakamoto present Metroid 5

dear god.

 

[georly]

Can we expect a 50$€ price drop?

Black friday ads are already out. Wii U will be $300 in the US, bundled with smash and splatoon, but it's likely just for the holidays. Because of this, I'd say no.

After the NX is revealed, though, you'll get a price cut, I'd wager, but not through a direct. More likely just a press release in the spring.

 

[JoeM86]

Besides, that actually makes sense only for the US. European and Japanese Wii VC catalogues are fine, so it would be pointless to discuss them at the global Direct.

To be fair, this is probably the least global global Direct.

While it's a global Direct, I believe, based on what has been said, that the presentations will be vastly different between the regions

We know Shibata is hosting the European one and that Morimoto is hosting the Japanese one. As such, while there is likely to be large reveals, there will still be region specific content within it.

 

[Spinosaurus]

So who gets revealed today?
K. Rool
Wolf
Wonder red
Ridley

None of them

 

[KingBroly]

dear god.

Good or Bad?

I'm assuming bad.

 

[anotherVegan]

Official Mother 3 Virtual Console release?

Geno for Smash dlc?

Hype train activate.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I hope the Smash Ballot goes..
"The winner was Goku."
"Because we cannot do that, here is ___"

 

[PadWarrior]

None of them

Who you have being revealed?

 

[Herbs]

Good or Bad?

I'm assuming bad.

good as in that would be awesome and bad as in yeah right, i wish

 

[xKilltheMx]

Do we know how long the direct is supposed to last?

 

[Berordn]

Who you have being revealed?

Jimmy T. With 2D paperdoll animation and cat projectiles.

I am being entirely serious.

 

[Sadist]

Still fun.

At this point I'm expecting Federation Force to be a fun game and GAF eating crow.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Do we know how long the direct is supposed to last?

Do not think we will know until the Youtube link gets posted.
20 to 40 minutes is probably a good guess.

 

[KingBroly]

I still think it looks like complete shit visually and isn't what Metroid should look like. Ever.

I also think it will control like shit on standard 3DS devices.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Me too.

Spoiler

Bulbagarden is better tho.

Not picking favorite sites (I get my info elsewhere) but... Bulba? They're terrible at news.

 

[BGBW]

In brazilian portuguese this mean "NintenRich". So, who is "NintenPoor", NoE or NoJ?

Judging by a lot of recent threads the only thing they're rich in is salt level. kukukuku

 

[Spinosaurus]

Who you have being revealed?

I'm personally expecting a third party. Maybe Bomber Man or Layton

 

[friskykillface]

Tonight we ready

Eh, metroid prime 1 worked ok with just one analogue joystick. If this controls the same I'm ok with that. My concern is - is there stuff to buy/upgrade between missions? Do missions give you loot you need to grind? I need monster hunter elements in this to even care.

I want it to be 40+ just to see the spam of 'oh lawd'-style gifs on gaf.

Blastball was basically Prime controllers mapped to the 3DS, it felt good to play, at least I didn't had any controller issues

We'll see.

I'm still amazed people get angry about this game.

no worldclock in op, how will i be able to function

I have no idea who this is lol

I keep forgetting about bomber man

Then the crash when it is mostly developers talking about what they had for breakfast for 5 minutes.
I am glad Nintendo is going to try to cut back on that.

Good to hear. Depending on how it reviews, i'll either pick it up on sale (probably a buy 2 get 1 free thing) or not at all. Mildly interested but not hyped at all.

New page, new clock

[pinkurocket]

My predictions for F-Zero news!

;_;

Maybe at the very least we'll get a FAST Racing NEO release date. Close enough, I guess.

 

[scamander]

Na it's fine. It's expected for someone in my position in the community, always going to have people who hate me. Just better to have the disclaimer.

I'll never stop posting!

I kinda feel awkward for asking, but... who are you?

Spoiler

Sorry, I have no idea and I really want to know.

OP, please know - you are the worst Nintendo Direct thread OP ever.

 

[Varjet]

Hopefully one of these characters will be announced for Smash:
-Wonder-Red
-Will Wedgewood
-The Crimson Fist

 

[DownGrader]

Official Mother 3 Virtual Console release?

I still believe the sole purpose of GBA VC on Wii U is the release of Mother 3, so we can have entire Mother trilogy on a single console.

 

[Numb]

:3

Always expect them but never there.

 

[Fandangox]

Hopefully one of these characters will be announced for Smash:
-Wonder-Red
-Will Wedgewood
-The Crimson Fist

None of them hold a candle to Blunder Red

fuck. Guess I gotta leave work early so I can enjoy this at home.
Can you watch directs on wiiu? I just got one and I figure its apt to watch it on there.

OP is a doo doo.

OP needs to edit OP

or a mod needs to step in, but they're probably avoiding this thread like the plague.

 

[Robin64]

OOOOOOOP

Yup. They play flawlessly via browser.

Both Youtube and Twitch stream just fine from the browser, Youtube also from the app.

Wow, that's impressive. Now, I feel even more awkward, because I didn't know that.

 

[Robin64]

I always watch Directs on the Wii U. Its browser is awesome,great at video, and I get to see them on the big telly.

 

[Ansatz]

You should view this as Next Level Game's next project, this is the game they have been working on after Luigi's Mansion 2. I will use the way they handled the task of making a Luigi's Mansion for 3DS and its critical success as my frame of reference for judging Federation Force. I don't see this as "the next Metroid"

 

[Jintor]

you're livesavers. imma go sleep and wake up with answers

DIRECTLY to me

 

[phanphare]

same. I've logged more time in the Wii U browser than any game for the system

Spoiler

that isn't Splatoon

 

[JoeM86]

Haha don't feel awkward. If you're not part of the Pokémon community, then all I am is an outspoken Nintendo fan

All three running across two computers for me.

 

[Gabe3208]

Predictions anyone?

 

[SuperSah]

Where can I see this in the EU?

 

[MrSaturn99]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOkkkkkkk! Here we go!
