"Finishing off the Wii U" would be fucking ridiculous. It has only been out for three years.

We're getting a console reveal next e3 with a few scattered games (star fox, SMTxFE, Zelda) to finish out the system. It's done, son.

 

[Piercatore]

Just passing here to say: HYPE!

 

[ScOULaris]

3 pretty horrible years for Nintendo

Fuck that. It's a great system.

It's real to me, damnit!

3 pretty horrible years for Nintendo

Not to mention the irreparable damage the Wii U has to caused my family.

If you are reading this, son, please come home.

 

[ffdgh]

I miss Neiteio.

I was wondering why there hasn't been a crazy hype list. what happened to him?

 

[Nia]

Just dropping in to say my body is ready. Now I'm getting the hell out of here to avoid spoilers.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

How long are we expecting it to be? I've got dinner plans so I need to leave 40 minutes after it starts...

It'll be revealed before E3. Mark my words.

2014 was ok, the other years were terrible though.

 

[Nostremitus]

It could be a placeholder but that seems extremely unlikely because it was assigned a title-ID and the text literally says "Twilight Princess HD". I guess this means they will be more careful in the future.

I'm guessing one of their server administrators decided to be proactive and knock out the rest of the updates for the year not expecting anyone to find it before it was announced. (Or not realizing it wasn't announced, from what I've read most games don't get a title ID until release is imminent.)

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Man, we're going to hit 100 pages before the thing even happens.

I love it.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Fuck that. It's a great system.

It's real to me, damnit!

The Wii U is a fantastic system with an incredible library.

It's just that nobody cares.

I guess in terms of sales but the quality has been through the roof.

Wii U is honestly my favorite Nintendo console.

"Finishing off the Wii U" would be fucking ridiculous. It has only been out for three years.

If it wasn't going to be finished off, then explain why this E3 was so underwhelming on the Wii U side of things? Why wasn't Pikmin 4 shown off? Why wasn't Zelda U showed of (which Reggie stated that they had footage ready to show off to people but held of from doing so)? What is Retro up too? What is the 3D Mario team working on?

A lot of questions up in the air and many were not addressed; a sign that they are wrapping up production of Wii U/3DS software and migrating teams to the NX for future software.

Not a bad move, as the Wii U/3DS line up right now is decent but still, they should announce more games.

Leading to more DLC, Pikmin 4 and Twilight Princess HD being the 'big' Wii U announcements make the direct one to look forward too to me at the very least; something telling Wii U owners "We aren't done yet, so here is our support".

 

[Nanashrew]

I'm shocked we've not seen a Pokemon Pinball XY on the eShop by Jupiter, I mean they transitioned Trozei from DS retail to a 3DS eShop series, why not Pokemon Pinball?

I have no idea. I played both Pokemon Pinball games and collected and evolved every single Pokemon in the Pokedex and I would do it again too if there was a new one.

 

[Zalman]

Directs are rarely longer than 40 minutes, but we will know for sure within an hour or so.

 

[RaidenXZ]

Feel the Magic XY/XX time!!! Let's go!!!

 

[Oersted]

Something in a Smash thread. Should be back soon

 

[Kissenkopf]

Man, we're going to hit 100 pages before the thing even happens.

I love it.

Me too.

This thread is the one that never sleeps. Its just amazing.

 

[Gaiaknight]

do we have a youtube link for the NA direct yet op hasnt really been updated.

 

[LordOcidax]

Agree, the Wii U has great games.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I don't know! They got a temp ban once for something (spoiler related?) in an MGSV thread. Then before I knew it, they were banned again.

I have tried to fill the void with my own predictions, but it's just not the same.

wait till the last hour

 

[Oersted]

This would confirm we live in the best of all possible worlds.

 

[ivysaur12]

My hype cannot be contained rn.

 

[TheSlySoul]

This would confirm we live in the best of all possible worlds.

I would love another one, those games were such fun.

 

[10k]

I called it back in September 2014. Fire emblem Radiance collection for Wii U.

 

[DownGrader]

What did he get Banned for?

For some pretty crude and inappropriate humour towards in one of Smash threads (regarding women's appearance), IIRC.

 

[MagnesD3]

So is north america not getting a youtube stream?

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Let's hope

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Did you just...not own an NES or SNES?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

My body is ready...but my feels not yet u_u

This will be a hard one to get through.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Let's hope

I would get a Capcom tattoo if it happened. Unfortunately, I have no faith in Capcom anymore.
My favorite Nintendo console would probably be Gamecube. I enjoyed my NES/SNES as well, but Gamecube was something else in terms of impressions.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

lmao what is this

I am a victim.

 

[DownGrader]

Let's hope

"Ace: The Great Attorney". Huh, sounds pretty good...

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Man, we're going to hit 100 pages before the thing even happens.

I love it.

Never underestimate the power of hope. It's all us Nintendo fans have right now

 

[Oersted]

Yep. Great replay value especially, a overlooked strength of many DS titles.

 

[JinjoUnchained]

Here are my completely reasonable expectations for today's Direct:

- Mario Paint throwback music creation tool for Mario Maker.
- Zelda HD Collection (OOT/MM/WW/TP/SS) coming in December
- Classic 8 bit 3rd party characters in Smash (Cast of CV3, Snake, Master Higgins, Contra guy, Metal Slime)
- Waluigi Pinball for 3DS launching Q1 2016
- Exclusive Chrono/Mana/FF metaverse crossover from Squeenix
- Star Tropics U Q2 2016
- Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4 GOTY editions
- Mega Man Maker
- Screw it, here's the NX, it's coming out right before E3 with new Zelda and Mario 64 2, so save your money this holiday.

Or, any one of these would be nice, pick one Nintendo!

 

[Neff]

What did he get Banned for?

Posting super-unambiguous teasers about MGSV's big twist, iirc.

 

[Not75Drops]

"Ace: The Great Attorney". Huh, sounds pretty good...

Great: An Ace Attorney Game

 

[Oersted]

Oh, than I wasn't up to date lol

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Did you just...not own an NES or SNES?

Yeah I did. But the Nintendo games on Wii U are better. Imo, of course, but I mean I don't know why I should like those more just because nostalgia or something.

Yeah the third party output is anemic but the first party output is how I define a Nintendo console.

I like the games I play on my Wii U more than NES or SNES.

 

[Elija2]

Not to mention the irreparable damage the Wii U has to caused my family.

If you are reading this, son, please come home.

 

[Joegrine_TT]

Damned Hope he comes back soon. Is he Permabanned?

 

[Atilac]

Giantbomb watching along?

 

[manueldelalas]

Because worst OP ever:

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

 

[Zack Zavage]

So are there going to be two separate Nintendo Direct shows, NA and EU?

I apologize for my lack of knowledge, since this is my first ND.
