All I need is FE Fates (why the fuck is it taking this long to reach Europe) and MHX.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Thank god. It really says all about the Wii U lineup if announcing a character in a more than 1 year old game makes a direct "phenomenal"

who are you talking to
what are you talking about

 

[jmizzal]

I don't think Paper Mario WiiU will be revealed yet. Even if WiiU is dead they have to show something for WiiU @ E3 (even more if ZeldaU isn't exclusive anymore).

The "biggest" WiiU news from this direct will certainly be the nintendo DLC for Minecraft.

They can announce it early and give hands on for it at E3, if they announce it at E3 nobody will care, people are only gonna care about NX stuff.

 

[kaioshade]

What other localization decisions? The only one that comes to mind recently is Great Ace Attorney, with AA6 getting confirmed for the west right the hell away.

Monster Hunter Online, Dragons Dogma Online, and of Course Great Ace Attourney are the big ones.

 

[Fevaweva]

A european release date for Fire Emblem, please Nintendo!

 

[1upsuper]

Is there a reason people are expecting a new Paper Mario? I love that series but I haven't heard any rumblings of a new game.

There have been lots of rumblings.

 

[GustyGardens]

I'm really excited, but also disappointed. I really want more news about NX and Miitomo. Their mobile game comes out this month, and we really haven't seen it! It'd be nice to have a walkthrough showing off some of the features.

If there's any truth to the Paper Mario rumor, it's likely that we'll here about it tomorrow. I'm also sure we'll see Detective Pikachu. I doubt we'll see Zelda, and that's kind of meh.

I thought they were pretty clear that MHO was exclusively developed for the Chinese market.

People saying last direct was good.

Cloud.

 

[Ridley327]

I thought they were pretty clear that MHO was exclusively developed for the Chinese market.

And that they don't have a hand in its development at all.

Two rumors:

1) An image of Intelligent Systems hiring for more people to join their team on new Paper Mario project (I believe it was specifically listed as Wii U) in 2015

2) A more recent rumor (I forget who the source is) that says it's nearly completely localized and will be ready to release soon.

 

[GRW810]

Is there where we get confirmation of a Star Fox delay?

 

[Neoxon]

I don't think Paper Mario WiiU will be revealed yet. Even if WiiU is dead they have to show something for WiiU @ E3 (even more if ZeldaU isn't exclusive anymore).

The "biggest" WiiU news from this direct will certainly be the nintendo DLC for Minecraft.

But that's the thing, I don't think the Wii U & 3DS will be big deals at E3 this year. If anything, I wouldn't be surprised if all the Wii U/3DS news is relegated to a Mini-Direct while the main presentation is nothing but NX news.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

I'm gonna play some Splatoon this weekend I think.

Sounds fucking fun as hell right now.

Awesome, thanks.

You think E3 is going to be mainly NX? I guess nintendo has never had an e3 where both their old consoles were on the way out at the same time, but new consoles are usually only the last quarter of the E3 presentation. I guess it could be different this time around, but I'm still expecting a decent chunk of 3DS/Wii U stuff at E3.

 

[kuhnbeast91]

Doesn't Nintendo Usually show Zelda games in spring of their release year. I know they did for Skyward Sword.

They showed Skyward at E3.

 

[ladyluthien]

Yay! I can't wait to see what is announced and what they talk about!

 

[Lord starti]

Early NX reveal/tease?

 

[Ridley327]

Is there where we get confirmation of a Star Fox delay?

If it's happening, it'll happen here for sure.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

All I want and need from this is SMTIVF localization announcement and #FE release date (window) and final title.

 

[georly]

Early NX reveal/tease?

that is a yokai watch

If it's happening, it'll happen here for sure.

Delays are usually announced in press releases - not in directs. Directs don't reveal bummers.

 

[Pinky]

*Paper Mario trailer finishes, close up on Nintendo President's face*
"Yes, a new Paper Mario is headed to the Wii U. But you already knew that, didn't you? Just like you already knew about the Pokémon 20th Anniversary game. All thanks to this man."
*Camera pulls out to show execution scene*

“You have been condemned to die by a jury of ninjas, developers and industry leaders, sentence imposed by a President in good standing with this company. Do you have anything to say before the sentence is carried out?”

“….”

“Laser beams will now be fired into your body until you are dead, in accordance with company law, imposed by Nintendo Co., Ltd. May Iwata have mercy on your soul.”

 

[qko]

I forget, has Mother 3 been confirmed or only hinted at?

 

[Already Torn]

Just show me Project Gaurd and Project Giant Robo and this will be the direct of the century. Come on, Nintendo!

 

[Regiruler]

I think we may get a more comprehensive look at mynintendo/nintendo accout, given that they often had club nintendo stuff in directs.

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

Let's hope that boxboy 2 will be available directly after the presentation or something, localising that game can't be too difficult.

 

[Ridley327]

I forget, has Mother 3 been confirmed or only hinted at?

No official confirmation, but that's a raging inferno waiting for Nintendo to call it a fire.

 

[gamergirly]

Yay

 

[Nocturno999]

No NX news?

 

[Zalman]

It's not going to change the world, but if they can do Paper Mario Wii U and Mother 3, I think it will be a solid Direct.

 

[Kouriozan]

I forget, has Mother 3 been confirmed or only hinted at?

People knew it was being localized by NoE teams (at least)

 

[georly]

It's not going to change the world, but if they can do Paper Mario Wii U and Mother 3, I think it will be a solid Direct.

Yup, and localizing some 3DS games we don't have yet - that'd be all I need.

 

[Drilbit777]

All I really need is a release date for Genei Ibun Roku, hopefully it's around spring 2016.

 

[dampflokfreund]

To be honest I'm more interested in hearing the game's main theme. Now that would be a megaton!

Or that. Just something different than Link riding his horse....

Maybe showing a village or something, would be an idea too.

FEDERATION FORCE CANCELLED

INSTEAD WE GET F-ZERO 3D
... AND A REAL METROID.

BELIVE GAF, BELIVE

 

[RainbowIslands]

Can't wait. The timing is especially perfect for my schedule as well! When they released the Neko Mario time video yesterday, I thought we had to wait another couple weeks... I guess not!

Some thoughts/speculation on what will be on the direct:

Zero Escape 3
Paper Mario
Pikmin 4
Star Fox
AA6
Maybe Great AA 2
Some random cross over game
Hoping for some jrpgs

Edit: Yokai Watch 3

But federation force looks fun. I don't want it cancelled. Sure it's not a proper metroid, but that's fine. Stop assuming if fed force is cancelled you'd get another game you wanted instead. If anything, fed force selling poorly, or worse, being cancelled, might mean LESS games in the future.

Nope, that's the first QOL device

 

[Fawk Nin]

"And for our European fans, Fire Emblem Fates will be available shortly after this Direct."

 

[perfectchaos007]

Weird to have this Direct while they are still contemplating delaying StarFox

 

[DJIzana]

Even though there won't be any NX info then hopefully this means the death of the Wii U.

I had my fun with the system w/ DKC: TF, Smash Bros U and Xenoblade Chronicles X. My top 3 games but... I'm just ready to move on. Gimme a next gen Xeno game for the NX at E3!

Nintendo Direct threads are best for laughing at people who get their expectations way too high
