Nintendo Direct: new presentation announced for tomorrow
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Oh FFS... It's labeled clear as day by Nintendo that this direct highlights releases for the next quarter(spring). I don't think anyone expected that one releasing before this holiday.

Any other idea's for Wii U games out this summer? If its just Star Fox and that is it, I will be disappointed.
Subtitle is probably debut trailer locked imo rotfl. Like, At the end of the trailer we'll see "The Legend Of Zelda" and then the subtitle poping up under it.
Neat, thanks for the info. That Giftpia/Giftopia game sounds pretty cute.
Paper Mario U perhaps, if announced?
Agree, but January 2013's Direct made a lot of harm. So many revelations, E3 style. After that, we have hopes to see something similar like that one. We all must learn Directs are not "mini E3" digital events.
I still have some hopes for that to happen.
Anyone who had high expectations for this direct deserved to be disappointed by the leak. Now is not the time to set high expectations. Wait a couple months 
But I wouldn't doubt one good announcement even if it's been spoiled by a leak awhile ago.
Very possible. Paper Mario hasn't been a holiday specific series.

Holiday? It will get crushed by zelda if they release it in the holiday. If they release it after the holiday, the wiiu will no longer be relevant because of the NX
What if it's called the Legend of Zelda for NX
January 2013 was a hail mary because of Wii U's less than stellar launch. It was a "Don't worry guys, we have all these great games coming to wii u later, please buy a wii u" direct.
I wouldn't expect anything like that again unless NX has a really bad launch, also. Hell, they may do it to help PREVENT NX from having a bad launch. NX launch direct will hopefully be amazing.
As long as it's on wii u they can call it whatever they want.
People seem to forget that nintendo is ok with bunching up games together for holidays. A link between worlds and Mario 3D world literally launched on the same day. I don't think either one crushed the other.
I don't think getting crushed by Zelda is a big concern. Wii U owners would probably be entertained at the novelty of buying 2 games close to each other. (jk, sorry, had to take the low hanging fruit.)

Still very torn about the situation of Legend of Zelda Wii U also being on NX...

Oh yeah, and that FE x game. Haven't heard anything from that in awhile.
i did bomb hard in japan, which is sad it look pretty good..

Oh no. I guess they could make it digital only title, which I probably wouldn't get. I don't support digital only games.
Quite amazed that people still think this simply because Atlus haven't announced anything right away. The Great Ace Attorney though, yeah, pretty sure that one's never coming (AA6 will probably be DD-only again, too).

Don't base quality of a game by sales.
Sorry to hear you didn't do so well in Japan :c

Same, but it was on Trev's list which we assume is for physical games, and is pre-orderable (Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water never was). In NA at least it looks to be physical.
Should be easier for NOA to bring over, especially if they only do English for it which is what they did for XCX at launch (French and Spanish were patched in) and Yokai Watch (for French, Spanish may have been in already). It's also a market with far more Wii U's sold than either Europe or Japan.
Star fox delay will not be announced during a direct. Directs are for good news, not bummers. If it's delayed, it'll be its own thing on its own day - via press release or youtube video or both.
I also don't think we'll get pokemon stuff at all - we would have seen it last week. I expect the next sun/moon info will be during a japanese broadcast or magazine reveal of 1-2 new pokemon and then a full-fledged trailer during e3.
wasn't trev's stuff just 3DS anyway? (with the exception of the tiny NX tidbit and marketing budgets?)

Digital only SMTxFE = burning down Nintendo
Why?

Sorry if it's been asked a few times already, but where's the leak from and how reliable is the source actually?
I've always thought Nintendo Directs to be quite impossible to leak, so it's as surprising as disappointing (if everything's really confirmed ofc).

I thought the intention of the thread was to archive all Nintendo Directs in it, although it has not been updated for over half a year.

If he bought a Wii U primarily for a new 3D Zelda game then he might think it's a waste if it releases on NX anyways. It's like he could have skipped a gen, especially one that looks about a year short.
Never buy a system primarily for one game. That should always be a rule to video games imo.

Sweet summer children. SMT IV F just came out and no localization announcement, yeah it's totally dead lol. God forbid they were dragon quest fans or something
I would not even write GAA off, since a game released early 2013 is now being localized. Anything's possible
Probably shouldn't buy a console just for a game that doesn't have a release date.

But you're still going to get a Zelda game on the Wii U that you purchased specifically for a Zelda game
"I bought a PS3 for KH3, FFVersusXIII, and that sweet FF7 remake after seeing that tech demo. What could possibly go wrong?"
Literally only one of those was actually announced. What went wrong is hypothetical person bought a console hoping unannounced games would come out.
FFV13 and last guardian were probably better examples

I'm torn about Legend of Zelda Wii U also being on NX because that would inevitably mean that the NX version is the version Nintendo truly wants to sell the most and it will be the prettiest and runs better. In other words, what's the point of getting a Wii U version when compared to the NX version...? This really ONLY applies to if NX version and Wii U version launch on the same day. IF the Wii U version releases with its own exclusive dungeon and the NX releases with its own exclusive dungeon or something then I will totally buy both.
BUT... if the NX version and Wii U version are the same content wise but the NX version obviously is the superior version because of better graphics and performance then I will be very hesitant in buying the Wii U version. INB4: "But you already own a Wii U... wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy it on your Wii U?" Ehhhh... I'll get NX day one if it's worth getting.

Is this the least we've known about a Zelda title going within a theoretical year of release? We haven't seen combat, we haven't seen a dungeon, we haven't seen an item outside of a bow! All we know right now is there's Link, a horse, grass, an open world, and some spider monster. That's literally it.
Nonsense. It'll be barren rock formations this time. 5 seconds. See that grass field? You can go there.

I disagree. Delays have definitely been announced in Directs before. They don't say "The game is being delayed", they're more subtle about it. They show the game/trailer/talk about it and then at the end of that segment say something like "And you can enjoy it on May 30th!" when the previous date was March something or other. They just act like the new date, which is a brand new announcement, is the first time revealing a date.
Especially if said game hasn't been released, dated, or officially named.

The Zelda and Metroid costumes returned in X. There's also a new Toon Link full body costume (so, including face and such) for Felines.
But the november direct actually pinned down a release DAY. Usually it'll be like 'coming later this year' and then later getting a real release date for the next year, or whatever. They've never said "Coming april 12. No wait, coming may 30" https://youtu.be/VF3AnGHbG6s?t=1726 They acknowledge the delay in the direct, but the delay announcement was made outside of a direct.
It could happen, but I doubt it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH YOU JUST MADE MY DAY. MHX best monster hunter confirmed. Can't wait.
Bringing the thread back to the positive?
Super excited for MHX and fire emblem collab.
Really excited to see what federation force is now that it's probably closer to release. Really hope it has some monster hunter or tri force heroes type loot system. If it does, i'm sold for sure.
Very curious what will come in the first print edition of star fox. Hopefully it's more than just an amiibo.
Really really really can't wait to play SNES games on 3DS virtual console. It'll make the system 'complete' for me as being nintendo's BEST system they've ever made. Literally 80+% of all of my favorite games will now be on the 3DS.
For all we know, NX might have analog inputs but even if it didn't, I'm sure they'd find a way to make them work.
Having feature-rich sequels never stopped Nintendo from releasing games on the VC. Outside of MK7 and MKDD, the entire Mario Kart franchise is available on a Wii U.
As for the library...

Plenty of titles to work with.
