I neeeed another Direct-ton in all of my veinsss!

 

[Artemisia]

ok but why would they talk about AC or FE:A on the Japanese Nintendo direct?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It can't be all the videos unless there's no Luigi video, which seems unlikely.

 

[Revven]

Damn so ACNL release announcement...oh yesh.

YES, based Nintendo! <3

 

[StreetsAhead]

Luigi's Mansion: Not even out yet. People bored of it already. Bah!

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Now that expectations have been lowered, all I want is a date for Pikmin and W101.

Hahaha, that last direct really did spoil some of us.

 

[eudaemonic]

all aboard the hype scooter

Man... I wanna flip you off and buy you a beer for finding that.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Lightining never strike twice!

Why do people keep asking for this? Do you think NoA would announce this when NCL won't have Wii U in their Direct?

 

[Triton55]

Guys, you don't need to de-hype that much over three screencaps. We already knew those things would likely be discussed, and it doesn't mean those will be the only topics.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I think they fear a Sticker Star explanation event.

 

[Scum]

I just want solid dates for whatever is coming out soon.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Why do people keep asking for this? Do you think NoA would announce this when NCL won't have Wii U in their Direct?

Sure. There's not much else that could be shown that we didn't see during the last one.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Lightining never strike twice!

Well Square made three FF XIII games

 

[Verano]

I predict 20 min of sales statistics, 9 min. of reels of games with new footage and info and a surprise bukkake of a game (LoZ : MM 3D!!!!) in the last min.

 

[metalslimer]

Ok so NCL is actually doing a direct then? I guess I can get hyped about some new 3DS announcements I won't see in America for years.

I predict 20 min of sales statistics

At least they can't do this in the US one.

 

[Drago]

So my new expectations for tomorrow

Luigi's Mansion 2 blowout
Animal Crossing mini-blowout
Lego CITY 3DS mini-blowout
Fire Emblem DLC trailer
HarmoKnight release right after the Direct
Details about how NoA will release 3DS VC games as slow as they possibly can

for WiiU

eShop showcase
Game & Wario footage
reminder of 30¢ VC games

[Negator]

Ugh. Hype is fucking dead.

I guess hoping for Bravely Default was just too ambitious. Not going to bother waking up for this.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Well

 

[jj984jj]

Sure. There's not much else that could be shown that we didn't see during the last one.

It's not going to happen. When those are ready they'll be coming out in Japan first. The Wii U stuff is going to be Toki Tori 2, Tank! Tank! Tank!, and stuff happening outside Japan. If there are any new games of note for retail it'll be for Japan on 3DS.

 

[C-Jo]

Well

It's missing "It's being made, but will never be released in English."

 

[Artemisia]

Ugh. Hype is fucking dead.

I guess hoping for Bravely Default was just too ambitious. Not going to bother waking up for this.

Not everything was revealed though.

Do you really think all they will talk about in the Japanese Nintendo Direct is Luigi's Mansion and Lego City?

 

[MagiusNecros]

Ugh. Hype is fucking dead.

Square knows BDFF is a good game, therefore it won't be localized.

 

[Drago]

Do you really think all they will talk about in the Japanese Nintendo Direct is Luigi's Mansion and Lego City?

Why should we care about what they show off in the JP Direct? Chances are many of the games they may announce either won't release here or will take forever to come over.

It's nice to see what's coming out but unless I can actually play it, it may as well never exist to me.

 

[zroid]

I am enjoying the disappointed tears of the people who had expectations right now

keep 'em coming

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Well

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Ugh. Hype is fucking dead.

Only the NOA one was ruined, and by ruined I mean it showed what I expected from them.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I am enjoying the disappointed tears of the people who had expectations right now

keep 'em coming

yea I am too

 

[Sakura]

Could still be good stuff for the Japanese Direct. I imagine they will also have the LM trailer, but they obviously won't show Fire Emblem and AC on there. Personally, I hope they announce/show off unified account between Wii U and 3DS/Miiverse on 3DS.

 

[Nintendude712]

Some release dates is all I want, based Nintendo.

*Looks over at New Leaf*

*hopes for April*

 

[metalslimer]

Is there a chance of seeing Monolith's 3DS game in the NCL direct tomorrow? Anyway there should probably be a huge 3DS Japan blowout tomorrow because for a platform dominating everything the release schedule this year has been somewhat narrow.

 

[Frolow]

Does NCL have a official youtube channel? Might be worth looking to see if they have any private videos up.

No, they don't, not in the same was as NOA. There is one for Nintendo Directs, though.

http://www.youtube.com/user/nintendodirectch

No private videos.

 

[UncleSporky]

There are plenty of cool non-game announcements they could have, like dates for Miiverse for 3DS and a speed patch for Wii U.

[Symphonic]

[Father_Brain]

Okay, will watch the JP one on my laptop while streaming the NA one muted on my iPhone.

 

[EloquentM]

You're ingenuous.

Use screen snap home diggy

 

[JosiahB]

I'll be happy if we get a release date for AC:NL. I had completely forgotten about the game for a while... At this point though I kind of hope that it releases some time in May-June; I'll be busy with Monster Hunter for a long time.

 

[EDarkness]

Wait, how are private videos indicitive of what this Direct is about. We have no idea what they're gonna talk about right now. I suppose it is better to keep expectations in check....

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Listen, Nintendo, how long have we known each other, 20 years? I know I give you a hard time occasionally, but we're good friends, right?

That being said, you need to know something:

If I don't have Animal Crossing: New Leaf soon, I will not survive this semester of school. I'm not saying it will be your fault when I meet my untimely demise from lack of AC, but I'm also not saying that it won't be your fault.

Please. For an old friend.

 

[GameE]

Wait, how are private videos indicitive of what this Direct is about. We have no idea what they're gonna talk about right now. I suppose it is better to keep expectations in check....

Those private videos will be unprivate when the ND is done airing. They will be shown on the ND.

 

[The Horror the horror]

Firing Reggie > Release Dates

Generally videos of what was shown from the Direct are uploaded to Youtube after. Presumably the private videos are those said videos being queued for release.

 

[GameCenterXDS]

Firing Reggie > Release Dates

This. Reggie needs to go immediately.

 

[EDarkness]

Those private videos will be unprivate when the ND is done airing. They will be shown on the ND.

Still doesn't mean that's ALL they will have to show or even that the will show more than a trailer which is 2 minutes or so. Isn't this Direct 20 minutes long?

 

[Symphonic]

Still doesn't mean that's ALL they will have to show or even that the will show more than a trailer which is 2 minutes or so. Isn't this Direct 20 minutes long?

Point being, these are the trailers that will be shown. If they were going to announce anything reason stands that there would be a video ready to upload for it.
