Probably Fire Emblem Fates

Well, there was Pokemon X/Y

Yeah, directly related to sales numbers, it has to be pokemon X/Y. That's E3 levels big.

We've gotten a handful of other heavy hitters, though.

 

[KingBroly]

I'm going out on a limb with this one:

Super NES Remix

 

[DownGrader]

What's the biggest announcement/reveal to ever come from a Direct?

TLoZ: Majora's Mask 3D
TLoZ: The Wind Waker 3D
TLoZ: ALBW
Hyrule Warriors
Kirby Triple Deluxe
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D

SMT x FE
Yarn Yoshi
(but they were "re-revealed" later, after a very long hiatus)

and, technically, Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World (as "new Mario Kart" and "new 3D Mario")

Probably Fire Emblem Fates

Well, there was Pokemon X/Y

Oh, right. I honestly forgot about that one.

 

[phanphare]

new Splatoon stage!!

this Direct is already pretty awesome and it hasn't even happened yet. even without any extra surprises I'm pretty content.

 

[brainchild]

What's the biggest announcement/reveal to ever come from a Direct?

Xenoblade Chronicles X. People went ape-shit over that.

 

[maxcriden]

I'm going out on a limb with this one:

Super NES Remix

As long as it's more like NES Remix 1 than 2, I'm all over that. I'd be game for GB/C remix, too.

 

[Morts]

I'm going out on a limb with this one:

Super NES Remix

Would make my day.

 

[Dead_Pixel]

I'm going out on a limb with this one:

Super NES Remix

That's quite reasonable really!

 

[Silver_DNA]

What about that Namco treasure hunting game? I bet there will be an update on that.

And any Pokemon related news will probably be for the WiiU version of Pokken.

Still, just a few more hours.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I'm going out on a limb with this one:

Super NES Remix

Gameboy Remix or SNES Remix seems to be good guesses for new games.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

WOLF IN SMASH HERE WE GOOOOO

Spoiler

and sora

 

[SUPERJEM94]

Xenoblade Chronicles X. People went ape-shit over that.

I still remember this, good times indeed.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

I'm going out on a limb with this one:

Super NES Remix

Don't play with my heart

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I'm hoping we'll finally get an admission that 3D world was a repurposed 3Dland 2 and we're finally getting a real wiiu Mario

These posts will never stop being hilarious.

 

[Oersted]

What's the biggest announcement/reveal to ever come from a Direct?

Was leaked by Nikkei beforehand, but Nintendo 3DS XL.

 

[-Horizon-]

what a mess

 

[Trey]

Give me Pokémon Z.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Does anyone have links to watch in the UK? Twitch/youtube/whatever? Thanks.

 

[Yukinari]

I'm going out on a limb with this one:

Super NES Remix

Not before we get Virtual Boy Remix. How else will i enjoy Nester's Funky Bowling?

 

[lolez2matt]

Wait, Alfonsino???

Maybe he comes from isle delfino. New lore to the Mario timeline!

 

[AdanVC]

The biggest megaton to me would be an update in Super Mario Maker to include graphics and themes of Yoshi's Island...

 

[RPGCrazied]

And one more thing with the HD port of TP. If that render is really from the game, that looks like it kinda came from Skyward Sword. Its really colorful. I really hope they don't take the dark grittiness some of the areas and replace it with colorful areas. Its one of the reasons why I like TP, for its dark nature.

 

[KingBroly]

Don't play with my heart

[L95]

Whaaaat?

The only one "dun goofed" situation I remember is Nintendo starting Digital Event 2015 on one of local EU Twitch channels 15 minutes earlier than needed, but they haven't aired much and restarted the timer.

Oh, I remember this(Zelda, I mean), the video was set to unlisted and the url got spread around.

I think, anyway, someone correct me if I'm remembering wrong.

 

[TruSpindash]

What's the biggest announcement/reveal to ever come from a Direct?

Bayonetta 2 for meltdowns.

 

[ussjtrunks]

Is there a EU/UK youtube stream?

 

[Puruzi]

vomiting

 

[Kriken]

I'm hoping we'll finally get an admission that 3D world was a repurposed 3Dland 2 and we're finally getting a real wiiu Mario

I cannot wait until the next 3D Mario game mirrors 3D World more than Galaxy, Sunshine or 64

 

[Mpl90]

Is there a EU/UK youtube stream?

There will be Youtube live streams on the different European Nintendo channels (NintendoUK for UK, NintendoItalia for Italy, etc.).

 

[Tizoc]

Is it 4pm yet? That is when it starts for me. God, I can't want to see TP in HD, even it just barebones. I really can't emulate the game on my PC, and to play it natively in 1080p has me so excited.

3.5 Hours to go by my reckoning.
Wonder if I should get a snack, maybe a chicken salad to eat while watching the direct....

 

[Frodo]

What's the biggest announcement/reveal to ever come from a Direct?

Bayonetta 2

 

[Hatchtag]

An entire direct was leaked. The hyrule warriors one. The video was leaked online half an hour before the airing on the official channels

December 2013 leaked too. Sakurai has really bad luck revealing mindblowing characters.

 

[amnesiac]

Man Super Mario Sunshine HD would be awesome. I'd love to play through it again.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I forgot Bayonetta 2 was announced in a EU and JP Direct (NA got a live event).

Pokemon X and Y, A Link Between Worlds, and Bayonetta 2 would be the three biggest ND reveals.

 

[AdanVC]

He have always looked awful. Why you guys want it in Smash? :S

 

[DownGrader]

Oh, I remember this, the video was set to unlisted and the url got spread around.

I think, anyway, someone correct me if I'm remembering wrong.

Whoa, that's kind of awesome. I think this was bound to happen considering that Hyrule Warriors Direct was a mess it terms of presentation schedule (no worldwide live translation, EU-specific variant few hours later directly on YouTube).

 

[L95]

But yeah, not surprised my the new Splatoon stage, but I'm very excited to play it!

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Bayonetta 2

Yup. Thread was a graveyard, lol.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Thankfully this comes on before dinner.

 

[PadWarrior]

what a mess

Horizon please

 

[Mpl90]

Well, something even mindblowing for you: December 2013's Direct is when they unveiled Hyrule Warriors XD

 

[Anth0ny]

I'm going out on a limb with this one:

Super NES Remix

can't just drop the GOTY on us like that




I'm pretty interested in how they handle Minecraft. If they actually use the gamepad in a legit way and sell amiibos it has the potential to be huge. Minecraft toys are fucking EVERYWHERE.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Lets go

 

[Pewpewlazors99]

None because right on the page for the Direct it says no NX and no mobile will be discussed.

Pssh reading information online is overrated

Thanks!

 

[Hatchtag]

I forgot Bayonetta 2 was announced in a EU and JP Direct (NA got a live event).

Pokemon X and Y, A Link Between Worlds, and Bayonetta 2 would be the three biggest ND reveals.

X/Y kinda feels like cheating, since it's not like it came as a surprise in a regular direct. It came in its own direct advertised beforehand as being the next big Pokemon news. Everyone knew what it was going to be.

 

[georly]

Good gravy. Someone just quote this post at the top of each new page please.


SORRY - OP HASN'T UPDATED THE OP.

Here is the countdown:

• Yes, Japan is getting a direct, too - Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPlWZ0FHrZ0
  
• Sakurai retweeted the direct - expect smash bros news
  
• Junichi Masuda retweeted the direct - expect pokemon news
  
• NO NX or mobile news will be during the direct
  

So what's a list of NEW (not new trailers for already revealed games) things we can assume due to facts found related to it?

• Twilight Princess:HD - eshop listing, new link render.
• Tri Force Heroes DLC - game datamined, text for DLC found
• Smash DLC - game datamined, additional character/stage slots found
• Splatoon DLC - game datamined, octolings/etc found
• Minecraft Wii U - pegi listing

Anything I'm missing?

What's thiiiiiiiis?

Stay tuned after the #NintendoDirect for a special #NintendoMinute featuring @thejwittz and @jkcompletesit!

Horizon please

I stand by my post pad :T

Even if for some ungodly reason that gets revealed, I'll never get it. I'll also go tear down my shrine to Sakurai.

 

[Yukinari]

He have always looked awful. Why you guys want it in Smash? :S

Now that Gonzo is gone everyone is gonna say how horrible K Rool is and yet vote for literally who characters like Wonder Red or Shovel Knight.

Yeah i went there.

 

[Oersted]

We better get 100 pages before this thing starts
