People want Wii U games without buying a WiiU, I've noticed a lot of the sentiment.

To be fair, nintendo has trained us to expect that by having full bc the last two gens.

 

[DKHF]

Hopefully they show a little bit of the upcoming new Zelda. It's okay if they do the blowout at E3 but we deserve a fucking trailer for that game. We waited nearly 2 years and got nothing. It's really idiotic they don't show that game...

I think they will wait until E3 or the NX reveal event (if there is one) to finally show a trailer and announce the title. Though I would love to be wrong and have them show a trailer or footage today.

 

[vainglorious]

Wait... I though Yoshi's Woolly World was very well-received, way better than Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush. In fact, it's probably the best Yoshi game since the SNES one.

Also, I don't know why you've mentioned Kirby's Epic Yarn. It's a Wii game, it's amazing and I will be down for an HD remaster sometimes in the future. (But first, Wario Land: The Shake Dimension HD.)

Yoshi's Woolly World got a lot of 7's and 8's. And I agree it's the best Yoshi game since the original but that's not saying much when you look at the history of the series.

I vividly remember how ingrained in the Playstation DNA BC was. Than PS4 happened.

 

[PadWarrior]

I think they'd be stupid not to have anything about Pokken. But Nintendo has made more questionable decisions before.

I really would like a post-release plan from them on this game.

This is what I'm hoping for as well

 

[Aostia]

Is it just me or the hype for today's Direct is pretty low compared to previous pre-Direct threads on GAF? : /

I'm at work, and I'll be without internet connection until the Direct will start, so no hype train posts for me
Plus, the supposed reliable leak didn't have any Wii U megaton so people is not that hot also for that.

I think I'm looking too hard at your post, I assumed the question was sarcastic and that I was an idiot for expecting anything good in a sequel lol (I really need to stop assuming sarcasm and insults)

I'd of course want a refresh for the playerbase when the original Splatoon eventually dies, returning and new stages, maybe expand on ideas in the singleplayer a bit. New weapons/subs? Standard stuff for a sequel I guess...

And, as I did mention in my other post, playable Octolings and more tentacle-styles :P (Gimme a cute braid or something :0000)

Pretty much sums up how I feel. No last minute Wii U megaton = tears of disappointment. I'm not gonna scream in excitement if Pikmin 4 gets announced for Wii U today either. I liked Pikmin 3 but its in the same boat as Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.... Not exactly exciting but fun in its own way.

To be fair, PS3 happened first to ease people into it.

Just no.

Most people don't really care about BC, they want remastered.

 

[Fess]

If many Wii U games get pushed to NX then I will definitely feel this way.

Xenoblade Chronicles X has a good chance of being ported to NX.

Smash 4 getting ported has a very high chance of being a NX launch game.

Heck, even Splatoon might get a port for NX before the inevitable sequel's release.

Zelda Wii U being pushed to NX as a launch game can also happen.

Even a more complete edition of Pokken Fighters for NX can happen.

I don't see the problem really, it's like HD remasters, it's not like it would've been better to sit with PS2 and Xbox and don't bother with PS3 and 360 just because Last of Us, Uncharted 123, Halo 1234, etc are now available in higher resolution and framerates on PS4 and XB1.
I mean how fun is it to wait several years to play the games other people can play right now? :/

Ask yourself, if Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft would announce that today they will show off summergames, with other words games released within the next 5 months, would you expect megatons?

 

[DownGrader]

I think I'm looking too hard at your post

I've just noted how perfectly the inkling's expression matches the "I dunno" phrase.

 

[dampflokfreund]

Just no.

He's right though.

 

[BGBW]

Guys what if they reveal Zelda U's subtitle? Just imagine that for a moment. We could know Zelda U's subtitle in a bit more than 6 hours!

It'll be quite significant.

 

[georly]

He's right though.

It's at least one order of magnitude more exciting. New entry in a franchise > spin-off. I love both, but I love pikmin more.

It'll be quite significant.

I'm still mad the leaker hasn't revealed the shibata pics. What if one of them is even more adorable than normal?

 

[Shadowlink]

Not expecting too much in this direct. I think they're saving a lot of their big announcements at E3 this year.

 

[TDLink]

Pretty much sums up how I feel. No last minute Wii U megaton = tears of disappointment. I'm not gonna scream in excitement if Pikmin 4 gets announced for Wii U today either. I liked Pikmin 3 but its in the same boat as Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.... Not exactly exciting but fun in its own way.

Eh. I think anyone actually expecting another AAA Wii U game that hasn't already been announced is deluding themselves. Focus clearly shifted to the NX over a year ago. Another game or two might get announced (like Paper Mario) but it is not going to be anything big.

NA direct is more likely to have #FE by virtue of NOA loving Fire Emblem and their flexibility to sometimes release games in one language, as with XCX, though in that case French and Spanish were later patched in. Yokai Watch was the same for at least French.

Something has to give or the NA Direct will be shorter without Fates or Yokai Watch.

 

[aggienader]

The software isn't the problem. The system itself is the main issue, as it was like poison for both the casual & hardcore audiences.

What does this even mean?

Poison? Is it a poison for your entertainment center to be there? Get rid of it if it's poison. I wouldn't want something infecting my entertainment center and the other consoles/devices around it.

Stop with the hyperbole.

Paper Mario is kinda big man :V

At what time is the presentation in Eastern Time?

 

[Shadowlink]

At what time is the presentation in Eastern Tie?

5PM in the East Coast.

 

[pariah164]

Less than five hours till the DIrect!

I always get excited. You can't stop the hype!

 

[Regiruler]

I just don't see anything other than Smash Bros and Zelda being ported. But I don' know. I'm basing that off on rumors(Smash) and history (Zelda).

One game is history?

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Party is quite the poison.

i'm excited to tune in, even with the leaks

Uhm, I don't.
But I'm not on the non-hype train.
I simply cannot follow properly the topic and the Direct because of the time table
I'd say that the confirmation of MHX for EU within summer would be enough for me to value the Direct as a good one.
Not a megaton one, but I'm not expecting neither Pikmin 4 nor Paper Mario to be announced 2 months before E3; obviously no NX news before a dedicated event or the E3, and so on.
So my expactations are on spot.

 

[WadeitOut]

Nintendo is pushing Pokken at all of the major fighting game tournaments this year. They have to port it to NX.

Stop with the hyperbole.

WiiU was a system of compromises. Saddling the line between old school "only meant to play games" and modern digitally connected and online system.

- OS was broken at launch
- downloads and installs were painfully slow
- Storage was a constant issue
- USB ports were low power causing some devices to need a Y-cable (expanded storage)
- Digital purchases were credited to the console and not to an account (has since been fixed?)
- No built in modern features and apps (Voice/Party Chat, Cloud Saves etc..)
- No Ethernet jack

This is just a small list... There are many more compromises WiiU owners were forced to endure with various software titles as well.

This is what a 350 dollar console was worth? Not in the eyes of the public and gaming community

 

[aggienader]

Ha

The Pokemon Company will I think.

 

[TDLink]

Paper Mario is kinda big man :V

Not really. Mario has lots of spin off franchises and many of them do consistently better than the Paper Mario series. It's like a C-tier Nintendo franchise.

 

[DrROBschiz]

If NX is truly launching this year then I expect a LOT of software crossover

 

[georly]

One game is history?

Yes? It happened once in the past, it set precedent.

Thanks.

I will definitely scream of excitement if Pikmin 4 is announced, and it has at least as good multiplayer support as Pikmin 3. Online multiplayer battles in Pikmin 4 would be awesome.

It was more meant to underline your point, not to disagree^^

 

[Effigenius]

What if I told you that Pikmin 4 is gonna get announced for Wii U in today's Direct? Is anybody gonna cheer or will it just be a "well... that's cool....."?

I will cheer. Pikmin is made for a touch screen.

 

[vainglorious]

It'll be quite significant.

There's a lot speculation in the Zelda community that the subtitle might be linked to the book Link's been carrying around in the teasers. I hope it's some type of grimoire.

"The Legend of Zelda: Grimoire of the _______" or "The _______ Grimoire" would be neat.

Who knows!

 

[Pancake Mix]

I'd rather have Pikmin 4 than Sticker Star HD, but it seems unlikely. All of thode leakers seemed certain Paper Mario Wii U was a thing, while Trev says there's only 1 more unannounced (major/physical I presume) Wii U release.

 

[MK_768]

One game is history?

For the series. I mean you can't overlook.

It just makes too much sense.

 

[Wandering Robot]

Expect what they announced, details about summer games. Than you will be fine.

Honestly I think that's the only way to go realistically into this, since it's announced point blank in the OP...unless Nintendo somehow makes things worse.
Hype will pick up closer to the Direct. I expect the thread to crack its 100 pages around then.

 

[Yui]

All I want from this Direct is an april release for FE: Fates.

The Legend of Zelda: Grimoire of Delays.

 

[MK_768]

Paper Mario is kinda big man :V

Not really. Super Paper Mario and Sticker Star really killed the franchise. I mean 95% of people who want a new Paper Mario game want a real sequel to TTYD lol. That game is what...12 years old or something?

 

[Majestad]

Has anyone important being retweeting this?

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Anyone know how long it will be?

 

[N.Grim]

I will cheer. Pikmin is made for Motion Control.

Fixed
