Nintendo Direct: new presentation announced for tomorrow
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
I guess, perhaps the whole thing is actually to avoid possible legal ramifications. And it's kind of weird that Star Fox wasn't released for either Wii or Wii U's Virtual Console.
Star Fox can be delayed many times over... so long as the end result is good. Fans have been waiting too long to be hit with a disappointing game.
Now you are playing with power.
Guys help, I think he's serious.
Now you are playing with power.
I don't know that it was any bad state to begin with. The art style was purposeful and ifnthe aesthetic wasn't to people's liking, that doesn't mean they'll change it. As I understand it the game itself was already in solid shape.
They'll give it plenty more time and acknowledgement than those games. Unlike those it's a game featuring one of Nintendo's major IP.
If there is no announcement of a new game, that would be an exceptionally rare (maybe first ever?) occurence, so I think you can count on at least one happening. Of course, you can't count leaks against announcements, though.
I would expect it by E3, for sure, but not necessarily tomorrow. Just to temper your expectations so you're not too disappointed if it doesn't happen.
Nintendo put several years of development into the tech at least for that game. I'd be shocked if we don't see it localized, at worst once it's all out in JP.
You know that's going to happen no matter what they don't reveal. If they showed NX, Zelda, Pikmin, Paper Mario and a new 3D Mario, fans would be lamenting the lack of a new Wario Land game. Not that they'd be wrong to. But my point is that a large or at least voval portion of the audience will always be clamoring for something else.
Next year for NX
I don't think I expect GCN VC to ever be a think to be honest. You have a very small library of games to emulate, its two Zeldas are two of its biggest games and those both have HD re-releases, its mainline 3D Mario is perhaps the most polarizing of them all, and games like Mario Kart and SSB have more feature-rich sequels. With the analog hurdle as well it doesn't seem to leave a ton of incentive.
Good news for you. It's strongly indicated to be arriving, based on Trev's leak.
I'm not concerned but I wish the game is localized everywhere, it's awesome and everyone deserves it.
Although what I see coming is a 90% Yokai Watch focused direct.
I don't see why we would get a YW Direct. Unless you're in EU. Even then I wouldn't expect it to be the main focus.
I'd be delighted if PMU arrived that soon, but I'm expecting it and Zelda to be the only major holiday releases so I think it could come in October or so. I'm hopeful it'll be terrific regardless.
They can pretend. Sure they can. They've been keeping from mentioning it as much as possible. I don't think the leaks will necessarily adjust the timetable for its reveal.

These are your choices:
No Paper Mario reveal but a quote saying it's more like the earlier games in the series
OR
Paper Mario announcement and new trailer and no guarantee on the direction

First choice all day.
The first one, easy.
And without a reveal how could we get the quote?
Btw, the announcement should be done by a paper shibata

Yeah, it will be localized eventually. I don't think it will be announced tomorrow though.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
You brought it upon yourself, BGBW. Don't try to hide in another castle now.Guys help, I think he's serious.
I don't think we'll get anything else besides more costumes.

BGBW meanwhile is playing with fire, fortunately good guy Shibata gives people the heads up before sending the ninjas in.

Just new backgrounds and alternate blocks and music would do it for me. I still have ideas for levels but everything is bland as hell now that there are like 6 million levels all using the same assets

I would return to the game so fast with just these additions.

New Mario strikers for the summer please
At least this part is! I hope the Star Fox first print stuff is too...
I knew generations was too perfect of a name for it to not be real. It's so fitting.
First print is a good way to combat the 'wait and see' and 'i'll wait for it to be on sale' for people hesitating on the game thanks to lackluster impressions.

Guys help, I think he's serious.
I think this is fake, the way he write isn't formal at all and it will be judged bad as someone who represent a company to talk like this even to a leaker.
Thanks for this post, QN. I always enjoy reading your detailed thoughts. As to 3DS games, I'll just mention that Trev's leak indicated one major unannounced 3DS game for the summer, and pointed towards a possible Mario Party or similar game involving amiibo. I'm hoping for a Luigi's Mansion sequel but I'm not sure who would work on it. It could be a miscommunicated leak, though, in which case it could simply be a localization. I've long though that LM2's success should lead to a sequel though. As an even unlikelier announcement, 3DL2 always seemed like something that could happen.
Based on the various more reliable-seeming leaks, it appears Paper Mario is the sole major unannounced Wii U game, with Pikmin 4 likelier NX. We'll see though!
Give it Fatal Frame's October spot. Makes sense to me.
I could see this, too. Trying to think of if Nintendo has ever released a major Wii U game in October, though. That could be a month they avoid like January and July. I guess the potential BX launch could shift around the usual release strategies, though.
The game was announced about one year and nine months ago, not three years. I know that's still a long time, though. We should be playing it by the end of the year, at least.

It's a hypothetical!!!
The point is would you rather take a chance on seeing the game revealed whatever it is OR would you rather have nothing shown but see/read an unrelated-to-Direct comment for some reason by the developer that it's "more similar to the older PM games"???

When some shaky cam rumour is real.
Man, all ninjas are really busy on NX to care about the rest.
Also, i don't dig the name, what is this, Naruto?

Well, to be honest, we don't know what that "Main Presentation" folder contains so there's still a chance some stuff hasn't been spoiled IF the other stuff is true.
