Doubt it. They need to save some big stuff for E3.

I doubt it, at last year's E3 Ubisoft were the only ones who actually delivered, therefore I am not expecting much this year either.

 

[idwl]

Yay!! They just need to show one new game (zelda/mario/smash) trailer and I'll be happy till E3

 

[Majmun]

A new 3D Mario announcement would be amazing.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Super Mario, yes. Galaxy? Please no more. Let's do something different now.

Galaxy is basically 3D platforming perfected. So i'd be all for it if they decided to do another. But I don't expect them to. It's a new console, so I fully expect to see a different kind of 3D Mario.

 

[uzit88]

REALLY hope for a Zelda HD but you would think they would save that for E3 or something.

Gamecube games on Virtual Console would be AMAZing!

 

[noffles]

Nah, panic mode Nintendo = At least a Zelda game.

Maybe for 3DS, but they'll never have anything for Wii U sorted.

 

[The Main Event]

New Super Mario Bros U 2!

Spoiler

Wah Wah

More like Bah Bah.

 

[NeoRausch]

let's hope for a system update to improve load times!

iwata talked a lot about that problem the last week's.

 

[GulAtiCa]

9 am? Blah. I'm usually on my way to work then. Guess i should leave early so i can view it all.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Monolith Soft's New JRPG would make me shit my pants if they show it this soon but man I want to see this thing

 

[Mit-]

Will talk about a bunch of games that we've known about for months.

Only new titles announced will be download titles that disappear when your Wii U is lost/stolen/dies, or stuff that no one cares about in the slightest.

Please surprise me Nintendo. It's not that hard, but I have very little hope.

 

[Spieler Eins]

My Shibata is ready.

Well, they will again talk about all these delayed Wii U games, but they really at least need one new significant announcement or game teaser to give some confidence after middling sales.

 

[mclem]

I'll throw a random hunch into the ring:

Way back in the last Nintendo Direct, there was talk of Luigi's Mansion, and a final cryptic comment implying that 2013 would be the year of Luigi, with more stuff for him.

So my suggestion: Super Luigi <something> or Paper Luigi.

 

[michaelius]

Wii Music U using gamepad as keyboard

 

[Smiles and Cries]

New Super Mario Bros U 2!

Spoiler

Wah Wah

I think the original is due Challenge Stage DLC soon

 

[noffles]

Wii Music U using gamepad as keyboard

Single touch kind of screws that up.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

A new 3D Mario announcement would be amazing.

To launch by december 2013, I'm calling it.

Nah, panic mode Nintendo = At least a Zelda game.

Actually if Nintendo was in panic mode, a Zelda game would not be the kind of stuff they would need in order to help worldwide sales, Mario kart is bigger for one.

 

[Art.Menegatti]

Wii U Virtual Console is inminent.

 

[NeoRausch]

Wii Music U using gamepad as keyboard

beginners lesson: one note at a time.

 

[suavelicious]

You better give me at least one new game announcement, nintendo!

 

[Tan]

Hm, wasn't Kamiya saying Bayonetta 2 was gonna show up in magazines this week?
I'm putting my bet on that showing up here too.

 

[Screamapillar]

Well, sucks living in the US right now

NoA operates in Pacific Time, as they're on the West Coast. It's not even 7am over there yet. Give 'em some time to wake up and drive to work!

 

[darkistheway]

The hype train won't stop!

Spoiler

until it crashes and burns at E3

 

[Boss Doggie]

Surely this can't be a disappointment right? I mean, they scored the ball in Pokemon Direct and that PxZ announcement.

 

[wrowa]

If Iwata shows Monolith's new Wii U game tomorrow he'll officially be my hero.

 

[Zarovitch]

If Iwata shows Monolith's new Wii U game tomorrow he'll officially be my hero.

That's what i want.

 

[BowieZ]

This will be one or two previously unannounced hardcore games to encourage the early adopters to jump in.

I'm guessing new Monolith Soft + Bayonetta 2 details + maybe Retro

And probably TVii, PanoramaView, Google Maps, Miiverse expansion, whatever is relevant new info for each region. EDIT: and Virtual Console!

 

[Screamapillar]

Nintendo Directs aren't purely release dates, thankfully.
I bet there will be at least one title that we either didn't see before (hopefully along the lines of F-Zero) or that we know about but want more of (hopefully Bayonetta 2).

Also I'm pretty sure that we will see a handful of new eShop titles for both Wii U and 3DS.

Nintendo UK states clearly that new games will be announced. So it's definitely not just for release dates, and hopefully not just niche eShop games. I'm guessing Yoshi and Kirby get some love. It's been a while since they've had games.

 

[zroid]

Surely this can't be a disappointment right? I mean, they scored the ball in Pokemon Direct and that PxZ announcement.

i think we're due for some disappointment

 

[tkscz]

Sorry, Mid-west, it's already 10am here. I'll be patient.

 

[saichi]

I guess this direct is to announce releasedates (likely) for: WiiFitU, Pikmin 3, W101, Wario.

I think this is expecting too much. not putting my hopes up

 

[dark_prinny]

Spain time, plz?

Edit: Is in the OP

Thanks Cheesy!!!

Also:

 

[ShineALight]

^This without Pikmin3, and maybe one or two new games announced.

This direct is about nintendo games, not sure if we can see things about Bayo2.

Bayonetta 2 is a Nintendo game.

 

[schuelma]

If Iwata shows Monolith's new Wii U game tomorrow he'll officially be my hero.

I think this is possible.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Spain time, plz?

15:00

 

[Smellycat]

I can't wait!!!!

 

[Murrah]

I don't know why I even read these threads anymore, y'all are way too optimistic about cool shit popping off

Wii U VC is about the highest I'm willing to set my hype levels for

 

[noffles]

I don't know why I even read these threads anymore, y'all are way too optimistic about cool shit popping off

Don't be a joykill, man. Let us all be stupid and hopeful.

 

[Spieler Eins]

i think we're due for some disappointment

Seems like the price for 3DS beast mode is fullblown Wii U frustration on the other hand.

 

[ffdgh]

I don't know why I even read these threads anymore, y'all are way too optimistic about cool shit popping off

Wii U VC is about the highest I'm willing to set my hype levels for

Well they started the year with that unexpected pokemon xy reveal so I'll give them a chance .

 

[LudwigB]

Wasnt there that rumoured/leaked Yoshi platform game?
Im really hyped now. I may do a sickie tomorrow to watch it

 

[Codeblue]

I don't know why I even read these threads anymore, y'all are way too optimistic about cool shit popping off

The only people who leave disappointed are those that don't understand that most of this is hype for hypes sake. It's pretty much a parody of conference threads now.

 

[Ban Puncher]

ALL ABOARD!


WOO! WOO!

 

[Boss Doggie]

i think we're due for some disappointment

That's expected, but surely we might have some hype. Remember Bayo2?

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

REALLY hope for a Zelda HD but you would think they would save that for E3 or something.

Gamecube games on Virtual Console would be AMAZing!

If they show a 3D Mario this Nintendo Direct, you can almost bet your ass that they will show HD Zelda at E3.

I'll throw a random hunch into the ring:

Way back in the last Nintendo Direct, there was talk of Luigi's Mansion, and a final cryptic comment implying that 2013 would be the year of Luigi, with more stuff for him.

So my suggestion: Super Luigi <something> or Paper Luigi.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about this! MORE LUIGI PLZ!

 

[Aad]

Show us the new IPs you've been working on Nintendo.

MY REGGIE IS BODY

 

[Zenaku]

Monolith Soft's New JRPG would make me shit my pants if they show it this soon but man I want to see this thing

I'm not gonna expect a reveal (I'd get too hyper just considering it) but since they mentioned Monolith Softs project in the last ND I'm at least hoping for a mention, even if it's just "we'll have more information in a few months".

In a perfect world they'd announce all the games they have in development and show any footage or beta footage they have, as they need to get people interested in the Wii U more, but who knows? With the ND being worldwide I wouldn't be surprised to see one new reveal, and can't imagine it just being updates on games already released or releasing soon.

 

[DaBoss]

Give Wii U some love. We've been having lots of 3DS surprises, now it's the Wii U's turn.

Spoiler

Probably not, but hopefully something still equally awesome

Change it to Universe. I don't mind if we don't get a Galaxy-like game. What I've played so far in 3D Land is really good (albeit easy though).

METROID PRIME 4

I want this so bad. I replay Metroid Prime Trilogy once a year because the games are just soooo good.

My Shibata is ready.

Well, they will again talk about all these delayed Wii U games, but they really at least need one new significant announcement or game teaser to give some confidence after middling sales.

Funny how you were just talking about it in the other thread. Hopefully they do all the games we know about today and we have E3 and other Nintendo Directs.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Smash 4 teaser?

 

[kitsuneyo]

Hm, wasn't Kamiya saying Bayonetta 2 was gonna show up in magazines this week?
I'm putting my bet on that showing up here too.

Good to see he's still fooling people with that line.

Anyway, HYPE
