Even if we are close to E3, there hasn't been any new announcements since January showcase??? (correct me if im wrong) and they need to give us at least a few surprises.

especially with Scorpio announced they would want to try and steal that thunder imo with some announcements, they must have enough to still fill E3 (or even two) considering we hadn't heard new stuff in ages.

There's no thunder to steal from Scorpio. They're completely different systems. They'll still complete for the same general market, but they're very different systems. They really don't need to announce anything new since E3 is in two months. Mario Kart 8DX releases this month and ARMS will probably release before E3. That's good enough with indies and smaller games mixed in between to lead up for new game announcements at E3.

 

[tsundoku]

an arms demo feels like a mistake on the level of me and my friends still playing the puyo puyo tetris demo weeks later


return to true nintendo form with an arms demo you can only launch 20 times right

 

[OuterLimits]

Curious about Ever Oasis. Hopefully Etrian Odyssey V eventually comes west as well. Finally getting close to finishing Untold, and still have the EO 2 remake and IV to play.

Glad to see Nintendo still has a bit of stuff coming to the 3DS. Such an amazing library on the system, especially RPGs. Kind of reminds me of the PS1/2 years where many good games in that genre were released.

I need to get a Switch before Splatoon 2 releases.

 

[LordKano]

ARMS won't have a demo, or it would be some sort of testfire like Splatoon.

 

[thatJohann]

It's just ARMS and Splatoon 2, right? No other announcements like VC expected, right?

There'll be something else but probably not much. I hope for VC, I actually expect just an update on 3DS's end of life releases.

I predict they will announce a hybrid console called "Switch" with detachable controllers.

Also F-Zero S

I don't expect that much.
Maybe some 3th party announcement.

Speaking of F-Zero is there an explaination why its called F-Zero (or what F-Zero means)
cause somehow I dont remember

Isn't it just Formula Zero? As in Formula One.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

I'm fine with Splatoon 2 and ARMS as they both seem cool games I want to learn more about. E3 is in 2 months, so not long for new game announcements.

 

[Gambit]

It is faster than Formula 1, I would say. That's why.

The lower the number after Formula, the faster the cars. For example Formula 2 and Formula 1.
So F-Zero, being the Formula motorsport from the future, is basically Formula 0.

I always thought it was a pretty smart name.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Speaking of video game names. I always thought it was smart they put they name of that little pointy ear boy who wears the green clothes in the Legend of Zelda.

Just under 12 hrs to go.

Next week is the 11th anniversary of Mother 3.
ARMs 1 + Splatoon 2 = 3. Mother 3.
So, it's confirmed.

 

[Hermii]

Keeping my expectations to Arms, Splatoon and Indies.

And of course Fucking DKCR 3 made by Retro.

One decent surprise would be nice.

I hope the Direct delivers, even just in terms of known contents (games), with proper dates, mods, demoes, and so on, but also in terms of "pace": I love Directs also as entertainment showcases

 

[jon bones]

need to pack my workday with stuff so it goes by quickly

 

[klier]

So when is the direct in EU time?

 

[Dark Cloud]

So when is the direct in EU time?

Well it's 11 hours from now.

 

[stan423321]

So when is the direct in EU time?

It's midnight in the most of it.

 

[J@hranimo]

11 hours baby!

 

[Jonneh3003]

I'm ready for that Rabbids and Mario RPG

 

[Donniewahlberg]

There'll be something else but probably not much. I hope for VC, I actually expect just an update on 3DS's end of life releases.

Hopefully just 2017 oppose to end of life on the 3ds part. There's stuff I hope comes here that definitely wouldn't show up until next year at least. Unless we expect them to go that far (and they won't), I need to start sticking my fingers in my ears every time end of life is mentioned in relation to this year haha

 

[Zedark]

So when is the direct in EU time?

Midnight in CEST (Amsterdam/Berlin time).

 

[Majine]

Hoping for something that's available right after the video.

They've done that before.

I hate this wait for MK8D.

 

[KHlover]

So I'll have to stay up late for it?

Oh I didn't specifically mean just this year, 3DS will definitely get games for the next year or two minimum. Just less of them, I think it's fair to call anything that comes out in that winding down phase "end of life."

 

[Little Mons†er]

Can't waiT to hear more about ARMS and Slaytoon 2

 

[Jonneh3003]

Hoping for something that's available right after the video.

Games like Dr Luigi and NES Remix have released straight after Directs.

Ah okay, in this way I agree with you I just read end of life as a little more definitive, but sure, I'd be on board with that. I'm mostly thinking of Level 5 stuff and Atlus, I'm not really expecting much more from Ninty than what we already know of. We only just got Yokai Watch 2 here in the UK so it'll be a looong wait for YW3

 

[Cartho]

Half Life 3, Switch exclusive. You heard it here first.

Seriously though, that would be hilarious just to see the insane meltdown from PC focused personalities like Totalbiscuit. His rage would be very entertaining to watch.

I'm not going to get too excited. That way if there's a proper mic drop moment like Pokemon Stars or VC I can be free to climax and it will be all the better.

Otherwise it will be just another cycle of hype building and then the inevitable:

Gotta be Beyond Good and Evil 2 right? lol

 

[Raitaro]

So when is the direct in EU time?

Came to ask the same - so thanks for doing it for me/us.

Midnight in CEST (Amsterdam/Berlin time).

That sucks, as is often the case with these... :-(

Guess I'll watch it tomorrow morning then, while doing my best to avoid spoilers.

Edit: Or I might stay up...hmmm....don't know if that's smart though with a young child that's gets up before 7...but still...first Direct in Switch era...hmmm...

 

[The Horror the horror]

They need to pepper the Switch with smaller releases like Pushmo or Picross. Snacks in between their bigger launches.

 

[Herb Alpert]

Gotta be Beyond Good and Evil 2 right? lol

I forgot about this lol

Yeah I think this was bullshit. At the same time it would be revealed at E3 if it was a thing.

 

[Cartho]

They could really do with news of some more "bigger" indie titles. I'm referring to stuff like Terraria, Minecraft etc.

I'm not expecting to see any major third party stuff. Our first proper look at things like FIFA and Skyrim will be at E3 I reckon. Not that I'm holding out hopes for Skyrim. It runs like crap on most systems let alone Switch. I have zero confidence that Bethesda won't just shit out the laziest port they possibly can.

 

[Lynd7]

I forgot about this lol

I kinda want it to be true and reveal at E3. The game fits in with Nintendo and they need a big third party exclusive I feel.

It'll probably be Rabbids x Mario though..

 

[Jonneh3003]

Do people still believe the Letsplayvideogames rumors?

Half the list has yet to surface and most of them seem like easy guesses. Beyond Good and Evil being semi reboot actually lines up with the small announcements we had a few months ago.
