Is there reason to expect Twilight Princess HD? Because I'd like that alot.

eShop datamining led to the discovery of files hinting at an HD Twilight Princess, and there's a new render of Link based off the design from that game.

If you meant is there a reason to show it today, I don't see why not.

 

[herbchamberz]

I really have no idea what to expect out of this Direct, so I feel like any news will be good news.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

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

Is there reason to expect Twilight Princess HD? Because I'd like that alot.

Here I will quote my summary for you.

This all started when dataminers found on the eShop servers a Twilight Princess icon with no Wii logo banners like for Wii digital titles -- this is what you would see on the Wii U OS if you had the game either in disc form or digitally. Because it had no Wii logo banners on the top or bottom of the icon, it was very suspicious.

Then about a day later, some people investigated Nintendo's title update servers using the NUS Downloader application which "downloads" whatever title updates Nintendo has newly added to their servers. Within this list of title updates it included new VC titles, new Wii digital titles, and two Wii U games. One of those Wii U games was Twilight Princess HD, verbatim, word for word.

You can see the list here which includes everything up to now. Just search "Twilight Princess HD" and you'll find it with its unique Title ID.

And then the damning part of it is the new Link render which was shown in one of the Investor's/Shareholder's Meeting slides. It is the exact pose of one of the first artworks of Link for TP albeit in a more colorful way and him holding the Master Sword instead -- but very clearly is attempting to be an updated render much in the same way WWHD received an updated render for Link reflecting the new lighting changes WWHD received.

I get off work the exact moment the direct starts... And have a 30 minute drive home before I can watch the archived stream lol

Being an adult is the worst

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Are we to expect Smash content?

Sakurai retweeted the Direct, so yes.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

You guys ready for Paper Mario to be announce for Smash today?

I'd love that, always wanted Paper Mario in Smash.

And I trust Sakurai would incorporate more than just Sticker Star into his moves

I like y'all.

I started a new job last week and I have the same problem

 

[sonto340]

I hope we hear something about the alleged Tri Force Heores DLC, I've almost gotten to the end of the game.

I'll be at work tonight during it. I've been tempted to call off today, I'm not feeling great right now anyways.

Just tough it through and watch on my break.

 

[georly]

Metroid fanbase continuing to be the worst

Don't lump them in with the rest of us.

 

[Akiller]

Predictions:
same stuff we've seen before

But it gives you money to buy all the things announced!

 

[Kriken]

True. I really hope Nintendo will abandon the series at this moment and pretend the series never exist. Not joking here

...I wouldn't go that far

 

[Berordn]

Don't lump them in with the rest of us.

Seriously. I don't think anyone's saying they love Federation Force but most of us are at least willing to give it a chance.

 

[Belgian Dude]

Oh yeah I forgot my prediction:

This time I really feel it,
Miku for Smash!

 

[PadWarrior]

Predictions:
same stuff we've seen before
minecraft
TPHD

I can see this happening

 

[-Horizon-]

lol

;3

 

[MrSaturn99]

miku will never be playable..............

 

[Kinsei]

For some reason I've got it in my head that they'll announce the 3DS Rhythm Heaven for the west. Please.

 

[Rösti]

I assume there will be a new thread once the broadcast is about to start?

 

[manueldelalas]

Ubisoft Montereal just announced an announcement at 10:30 (Europe time I guess? 30 minutes after the direct); and today is BG&E 12th anniversary, so, it's probably fucking nothing.

 

[Rodolink]

I would be very sad if Twairaito Purinces HD is not announced today

Spoiler

just a few hours *_*

 

[fernoca]

Well, $50 added to the eShop. Everything's set

Ubisoft Montereal just announced an announcement at 10:30 (Europe time I guess? 30 minutes after the direct); and today is BG&E 12th anniversary, so, it's probably fucking nothing.

Direct is in around 7 hours, Ubisoft's in a few minutes.

 

[frankie_baby]

Just sit in your car and streem it on your phone, drive home after

Problem solved

 

[PadWarrior]

miku will never be playable..............

Rather have her than bayonetta

Bingo

 

[Kinsei]

Why would Ubisoft Montreal announce something then? You don't believe Montreal is in Europe somewhere, do you?

 

[Litri]

For some reason I've got it in my head that they'll announce the 3DS Rhythm Heaven for the west. Please.

It's a niche title but I would love that too.

 

[-Horizon-]

miku will never be playable..............

quiet you

*shakes fist*

 

[illmatic22]

Thanks for all the responses, fingers crossed for an announcement.

 

[Belgian Dude]

Okay, now for real, things I want that shouldn't be TOO unrealistic

- 3D World Style Trailers for Federation Force, Blast Ball (I know it's in FF but I want a specific verticality trailer) and Paper Jam
- DLC info for Smash / Splatoon / Triforce Heroes
- New WarioWare
- Localization news on Great Ace Attorney / Rhythm Heaven

 

[Z3M0G]

So this is at 5pm EDT?
(6pm ADT for me)

Edit: And if that entire rumor list turns out to be true... how big would the reaction be?

 

[Riki]

Xenoblade X demo!!

 

[Merc_]

Global reaction if Metroid Prime Federation Force is cancelled:

Global reaction if Metroid Prime Federation Force is still alive:

The Metroid fanbase deserved Other M.

 

[Kinsei]

The Metroid fanbase deserved Other M.

No one deserved Other M. Not even the Sonic fanbase.

 

[L95]

So this is at 5pm EDT?
(6pm ADT for me)

yes~

 

[The Flash]

Spencer pls

 

[Kriken]

quiet you

*shakes fist*

Just accept the truthfacts now, it'll be easier to understand when she never makes it

 

[DownGrader]

Xenoblade X demo!!

BTW, I expect additional resource packs to be available for download.

 

[Foffy]

But it gives you money to buy all the things announced!

But will he have the time to enjoy those things?

 

[manueldelalas]

Why would Ubisoft Montreal announce something then? You don't believe Montreal is in Europe somewhere, do you?

Woa! lol, yes I thought that was Europe, and when you mentioned it, I remembered it was Canada.

Nothing to see here.

 

[Z3M0G]

Global reaction if Metroid Prime Federation Force is cancelled:

Global reaction if Metroid Prime Federation Force is still alive:

There is room for both... Personally, I look forward to Federation Force. But the game must have:

- incentive to replay / grind the game
- a long lasting community

 

[-Horizon-]

Just accept the truthfacts now, it'll be easier to understand when she never makes it

I find your lack of faith disturbing

 

[bumpkin]

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

Do the sensible thing: "stay late" and put that mobile bandwidth to the test!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

But will he have the time to enjoy those things?

No, and this is something I deal with

 

[10k]

Metroid: Another M
New 3DS exclusive

We did it right this time guys. Promise.

 

[Belgian Dude]

But will he have the time to enjoy those things?

You spend time to get money to spend money in time already spent.

Spoiler

Mario&Luigi: Partners in Time 2 confirmed

Just accept the truthfacts now, it'll be easier to understand when she never makes it

have you lived through all eternity? then you can never say for sure!
