Nintendo Direct 5/17 4PM CEST, 7AM PST, focus on First Party Wii U Summer Titles

Inaba and Kamiya have been talking about doing ROM checks on the game since the start of Golden Week, two weeks ago. Given Kamiya's talk about length of the game, and also tweeting about hating deadlines I would say it's just about done on their end. He also said that he was switching back and forth between Bayo 2 and 101 the other day. A lot if that went unnoticed because most of it was tweeted only in Japanese.
 
There are titles on Wii U releasing this summer? So we are getting footage of

- Game & Wario
- Pikmin 3 + official releasedate (Aug 2, 2013?)
- Wonderful 101 + official releasedate (September?)
- Wii U Party (September?)
 
If we don't get a TW101 release date and/or surprise announcement from Reggie, I'll take goofy-ass gifs of Iwata as a consolation prize, Nintendo.
 
I understand if there's barely any 3ds love given after the last Direct but as someone getting a new XL when Animal Crossing drops....I can only wish.

Dammit streets. why didn't you make a thread and translate it for us?! =/
 
It would be glorious if Bayonetta 2 is a surprise September release, though. It would also give me a sparkle of confidence that Nintendo has something even better to show at E3. :P
 
Probably already posted, but I love it.

Yep, completely missed it. Someone shall do the thread.

No way do they release W101 and Bayonetta within the same six months.

Hell, I imagine Platinum was uneasy about Anarchy Reigns and Rising releasing so close and those are different publishers.

Platinum has a dedicated base that will pick up their games but there needs to be some breathing room there.

So mature title? Bayonetta 2?
I'm not expecting many big things from this direct (just Summer games after all) but this would be a nice surprise. I'm still hoping that they put the first game on E-Shop for like 20 bucks.

My apologies. In my defense, they were spread out over two weeks.

I have to go to bed now too. Its 1am and I have to up for work. It may be pointless making a thread with the Direct so soon though.
 
"Can mario and zelda please die" etc threads incoming in about 24 hrs

No Fit U then? They even had a focus on it with the Miiverse community functions in one of the 2013 Directs...

bayonetta 2 will be a early (first half) 14 release together with smash and project x imho.
or, if one between mario3d and kart will not be a fall 13 game, with one of those two (pushing back smash to fall 14)
 
I'd still like Bayo 1 CE on Wii U too. Would be a nice holdover until the sequel's ready next year and an easy way to start priming the userbase.

Speculation's been Fit U got pushed to Q4/holiday.
 
I have some high hopes:


1. New Super Luigi isn't too expensive and comes out before August
2. Pikmin 3 has multiplayer
3. W101 comes out before September
4. VC gets a slap-in-the-face improvement

All I really want from the vc at the moment is to be able to hit one button to create a save state without pausing the game. It messes with the flow having to go into the menu.

If you were talking about more vc games, I definitely want that.
 
Was trying so hard not to get hyped for this but god damn this thread.

Also that General Hospital GIF made my damn day.
 
If the entire Nintendo Direct was just Iwata coming out and saying "The Wonderful 101 will be available this July" I would be entirely satisfied. What I played of it at PAX East was incredible.
