Support NeoGAF

[RK128]

I'm so annoyed I'm still going to be at work when this thing goes live.

Gonna be hard to avoid reading GAF for a whole 30 minutes to an hour until I can get home and watch the archive.

Its going to go live when I have to leave for my Sign Language class tonight :l. Will use my Vita (via Campus Internet) to see whats happening every now and then, but I won't be able to share any reactions until well-after the direct ends.

It has been stated already that Nintendo Directs average 22 minutes. We believe that the average has gone up. Prove whether or not this is true.

[Tom Nook]

How's the HYPE GAF????

Right now. Normal

In 2 hours.....

 

[Pinky]

Twilight Princess Break Dance

Ha! Awesome!

 

[Nanashrew]

I slept awfully, I look like crap, but I wouldn't have it any other way on a Nintendo Direct day!

Also saw that Sakurai retweeted the Direct , I am so hype!

 

[C.Olimar788]

No Animal Crossing and amiibo sales data?

Hell no, we're not allowed to know anything about the Animal Crossing boardgame that comes out tomorrow. Can't let anyone have a chance of canceling their preorders.

...speaking of, is the review embargo for that literally just tomorrow? I'd like to know if it's worth grabbing for the Isabelle amiibo or not.

 

[Josh5890]

32 minutes

Amiibo
Smash DLC
Pokemon
Mario Tennis
Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival (wouldn't be surprised if that dissapeared)
More Wii games on e-shop
Zelda Wii-U
more Wii-U and 3DS games
a n3DS exclusive
Maybe new Nintendo account info. Maybe

 

[abstract alien]

Just cancel Federation Force and this will have been worth it.

 

[Cow Mengde]

I just realize it was Pacific Standard Time.

 

[Josh5890]

Just cancel Federation Force and this will have been worth it.

I think they are better served by taking off the Metroid brand and going with that.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Just cancel Federation Force and this will have been worth it.

Or at least drop the Metroid name from it. They don't need to cancel the game, but it doesn't need to be associated with Metroid.

Does he have to show his work? He should have to show his work.

 

[J@hranimo]

Can't wait for the eventual:

and all the Smash 4 players are gonna be like

muh Space Animals are back together

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Kinda ready for this new Direct also!!!!

I really want a Wii U but Im gonna wait to see how the NX plays out.

 

[wiibomb]

I'm betting 50 minutes..

Why? Because they have been completely shut for months since the great tragedy, they have a overhead of content incoming

Believe

He probably won't have his greatest voice ever though...

"What's the matta', scared?"
"We're gonna have fun with this thang!"

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I think they are better served by taking off the Metroid brand and going with that.

I think they should just drop the Federation Force part and call it Metroid Prime 4 instead. The overreactions would be priceless.

 

[MagnesD3]

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

Probably won't buy them anymore then... I'm tired of 2d Mario.

 

[Josh5890]

I think they should just drop the Federation Force part and call it Metroid Prime 4 instead. The overreactions would be priceless.

And then Retro Studios comes out and says psych, that is what we have been working on for two+ years!

 

[Risk Breaker]

Excited about this one, specially for 3DS games.

 

[ffdgh]

Please no...I still havent gotten used to fox's whiny voice. Falco wasn't too bad thankfully.

 

[Zero²]

Damn japanese class getting in the way of my Nintendo Direct watching time

 

[GasProblem]

Argh, why do I have to go to the movies

When I come back I can just go to Nintendo's youtube page to watch the Direct right?

 

[Kinsei]

Make my dreams a reality Sakurai.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Please no...I still havent gotten used to fox's whiny voice. Falco wasn't too bad thankfully.

You'll get a bad british accent (on a feral, savage character) and you'll like it!

 

[Zero²]

I think they should just drop the Federation Force part and call it Metroid Prime 4 instead. The overreactions would be priceless.

If they triple the budget I'm sure NLG would make something great with a MP4.

 

[Kouriozan]

It's dangerous to hype alone, take this

 

[RK128]

Or at least drop the Metroid name from it. They don't need to cancel the game, but it doesn't need to be associated with Metroid.

They honestly should just do that; say it has connections to the Metroid series but nothing more then that. Having Metroid be part of the title gives it expectations that the game will not match, leading to the amount of hate the title has received.

 

[emb]

Thinking back, it seems like the last Direct we had that wasn't E3 was almost only DLC and amiibo. I'll try to remind myself not to get hype. Splatoon, Mario Maker, Smash Bros, probably that Animal Crossing spinoff, all ripe for DLC.

Zelda probably won't be in since no NX (but would be glorious if it actually stayed Wii U and launched at a decent time next year).

The best I'm hoping for is a new Pokken character I guess, maybe a release date for that and Star Fox. TP and Minecraft would be neat if true, but idk how interested I'll really be.

 

[RPGCrazied]

And then Retro Studios comes out and says psych, that is what we have been working on for two+ years!

Or give me Other M 2. I'd rather take that than get Federation Force in its current form.

 

[Josh5890]

Argh, why do I have to go to the movies

When I come back I can just go to Nintendo's youtube page to watch the Direct right?

I would just leave up the nintendo direct website and then just refresh. Should work

 

[Fandangox]

Make my dreams a reality Sakurai.

Man, this would be great.

 

[Dominator]

Hype is at 0, I've learned my lessons with these things. No disappointment if it sucks, and immense joy and shock since no hype, if there some stuff in there I'm really excited about.

Its the way to be with Directs.

 

[DecoReturns]

Make my dreams a reality Sakurai.

That's not Paper Mario.

 

[Sadist]

Argh, why do I have to go to the movies

When I come back I can just go to Nintendo's youtube page to watch the Direct right?

Yes yes you can

 

[SUPERJEM94]

Argh, why do I have to go to the movies

Pretty much, just don't look at the description, since they time stamp what they show in the Direct.

 

[YianGaruga]

Make my dreams a reality Sakurai.

oh my god

 

[Beelzebufo]

Probably won't buy them anymore then... I'm tired of 2d Mario.

I think he's talking about 3D

 

[abstract alien]

I think they are better served by taking off the Metroid brand and going with that.

Or at least drop the Metroid name from it. They don't need to cancel the game, but it doesn't need to be associated with Metroid.

I'm willing to go along with this. Pull a Dinosaur Planet -> Starfox Adventures(in reverse I guess).

 

[qko]

This is a great idea, Call it Tourian Hunters or something. Those in the know it's a nod to Metroid, others will have no idea.

 

[Mesoian]

Just cancel Federation Force and this will have been worth it.

Always amazed by people who want less games instead of more, especially during this late phase of nintendo's generational cycle.

 

[TunaLover]

Can't wait for the eventual:

I'm ready for our new rendered Wolf, he will be glorious <3

 

[J@hranimo]

Damn, completely forgot about this series in Smash since well...last year lol

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Having Metroid be part of the title gives it expectations that the game will not match

Like Metroid Prime Pinball?

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!

In case someone cannot or too lazy to login to splatnet

That's the last one from me! I'm going to go cook something. Will probably look at reactions or post mine when the Direct starts. Until the Direct, see ya!

 

[Josh5890]

Zelda probably won't be in since no NX (but would be glorious if it actually stayed Wii U and launched at a decent time next year).

There is no way in hell that Zelda is missing the Wii-U. I'm sure there is an NX port in the works but if Nintendo lets this console die without giving its fans an original Zelda game then they will lose a lot of good will.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Like Metroid Prime Pinball?

I heard that was great

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Just ask for a mod to edit the OP. :lol

 

[Jawmuncher]

how long are directs typically?
