Let's see...

08/01/13: Pokémon Direct announcing X and Y released worldwide. Reveals Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, and the box legendaries.
09/01/13: Xerneas and Yveltal's names released.
11/01/13: Coro Coro leaked with no new information, save official artwork for the legendaries, and their heights and weights.
11/02/13: Coro Coro leaks, officially revealing Sylveon for inclusion in the Pikachu short accompanying that year's movie and some accompanying X and Y battle screenshots. No further information revealed.
14/02/13: Sylveon officially revealed in a worldwide video.
03/04/13: Mega Mewtwo Y leaked in a poster for that year's movie.
06/04/13: Mega Mewtwo Y officially revealed on Pokémon Sunday, without details or clarification- some X and Y battle footage included.
13/04/13: Coro Coro leaks- Mega Mewtwo Y featured, but without any more substantial information.
17/04/13: A new movie trailer with Mega Mewtwo Y released- supplementary details refer to it as Awakened Mewtwo.
11/05/13: Coro Coro leaks, showing off Pancham, Gogoat, Helioptile, Fletchling, further overworld shots and details, the region, trainer customisation and the boxart.
14/05/13: International trailer released, showing off the details from Coro Coro and announcing localisations.

The information largely continued on a monthly basis from that point, releasing new Pokémon and details in Coro Coro and following it up with an international trailer a few days afterward. Pokémon X and Y only ever appeared in a general Nintendo Direct once, and that was that year's E3 Direct, where Vivillon, Noivern, Pokémon Amie and the Fairy-type were revealed. There was a Pokémon Direct in September mainly focused on the announcement of Pokémon Bank, which had a reveal of Mega Venusaur, Mega Blastoise and Mega Charizard Y.

As you can see, after the reveal in January, and movie reveals notwithstanding, they didn't announce substantial details until May. Considering that they've already done the initial batch of movie Pokémon reveals, I wouldn't necessarily expect any more substantial information for another couple of months at least.

Thanks for putting all that together!

We got a really skimpy initial reveal, so I could understand if some more bits were in order... but in that case, why not reveal them there? That plus the general Direct track record for Pokemon, I doubt we'll hear anything.

Pokken comes with a amiibo.

Just a card though. Still technically an Amiibo, but.. y'know.

So guys, I'll put this in the rumour bin, but a Dutch Nintendo site leaked the contents of the Direct tomorrow; (So, the EU Direct) They vouch for their source and seem 99% sure. This site leaked the first details about Castlevania for 3DS a few years back btw.

List of games;

Fire Emblem Fates
Lost Reavers (voorheen Project Treasure)
Mario & Sonic op de Olympische Spelen - Rio 2016
Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Monster Hunter Generations

- Super Nintendo games will finally be added to the 3DS eShop
- Monster Hunter X ---> Monster Hunter Generations
- And Monster Hunter Generations will have some Fire Emblem content

I see no Rhythm Heaven on that list. Even though Monster Hunter is awesome but I hope the list is fake.
 
I expect it will be a cold day in hell before NoA confirm a reprint for the Fire Emblem Fates SE, even though their handling of it has been such a dumpster fire that not only have they enabled an ocean of scalpers since day 1, but not even everyone who did pre-order within that ridiculous < 1 hr. time frame when it was first announced have actually gotten theirs.

Wasn't it just on Amazon earlier today?
 
Of course leaks happened. Time to vacate this thread until after the Direct tomorrow, even if it turns out underwhelming.

Yeah, the store I ordered FE from told me they had to turn away one of the three people who had managed to secure a pre-order. :(

Please.

Please be real.

Snes games on handheld would be a dream, even tho I don't have a New 3DS atm I'll get one eventually. EarthBound with a sleep mode should help me finally beat it!
Click to expand...

I'm guessing that Wii U cross-buy for these would still be too much to hope for though...


I predict rioting if Fire Emblem Fates doesn't at least get a release date at long last!

I'm also very much interested in that rumour about Star Fox Zero... I'll be very much up for any sort of special edition if they're doing one.

If you think Bayonetta 3 and a new 3DS Zelda are "plausible", you are setting your expectations way too high man.

Oops missed those two, I could see Grezzo working on a new 3DS Zelda. They are full of talent and have proven their technical ability with OOT3D, MM3D, Four Swords Anniversary and Tri Force Heroes.
 
OrbitalBeard said:
If they actually do a "First Print" edition of Star Fox, it should include the SNES game. I'd buy it for that alone.

Isn't there a legal dispute with Argonaut currently that's preventing FX chip games from being released on VC?

Didn't Miyamoto say a while back that Pikmin 4 was already in development though?
Click to expand...

I think they said they were nearing completition.

EDIT: Yes, very close to completition in July of last year.
 
I'm very excited to see how Federation force has evolved. Hoping they changed up the visuals a little bit to give it a look with a little more character rather than a low budget iOS title.
 
God I hope we get something from Pokemon. Even if it's the announcement of an April Pokemon Direct.

I can't go these months without something more substantial to build that Pokehype on. A new teaser, maybe one new Pokemon. Anything.

And yeah I'd really like to see a new Paper Mario. Can we actually get a proper successor to the Thousand Year Door?!
 
OrbitalBeard said:
I honestly have no idea. Wouldn't surprise me.

Which is weird since Argonaut Games was liquidated over 10 years ago, but I recall reading somewhere about it which it was the reason why they released Yoshi's Island GBA's remake and not the SNES game on VC, but I cannot find anything anywhere about a legal dispute.
 
javac said:
Pikmin 4 anyone? We've known about it for a while now and I don't think that'll be an E3 thing unless its for NX or lumped in a Wii U/3DS sizzle reel and shown more at a Treehouse Live.

Or maybe its for mobile.

Or maybe its announced later.
Click to expand...

Trev's leaks indicated there was only one major unannounced Wii U game, and that looks to be Paper Mario. I don't think Pikmin 4 can be considered to have been formally announced, so while I previously expected Pikmin to be Wii U, I'm now expecting it to be for NX. Unless they circumvented the prior issues they had putting Pikmin on HH and it's a 3DS game, but that would really shock me.

It's possible that Nintendo is simply not willing to engage in any kind of situation that could involve legal ramifications if they went ahead and dumped ROMs that utilized the SuperFX chip. The GBA port of Yoshi's Island is one way to get around that, though that's understandably not the ideal way to play the game, extra content be damned.

You know, porting the other SuperFX games and not using any of that code could wind up being a good thing, since you wouldn't have to be limited by the hardware limitations of the SNES and they would be on more powerful hardware than the GBA. I don't think anyone complained about the little bits and pieces of Star Fox that they've put into Wario Ware over the years that runs dramatically better than it originally did in 1992.
