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

Was expecting this ND for next monday but I guess they want the press coverage to last a few days and over the weekend before the microsoft conference. probably a better move since people are more likely to give good reviews at the end of the work week than during the beginning.
 
Iwata actually said "screens" of Smash Bros, not screenshots, and with Iwata not so great English than we don't know what to expect, I don't expect a demo but I think a trailer wouldn't be far out of the question.

Well, I expect him to at least know the differences between screens and video. Showing only screenshots of a game is also not unheard of Nintendo -- that's exactly what they did when they've shown 3D Land for the first time IIRC.

I hope we'll get a trailer, but I very much doubt we'll see a demo. I hope I'm wrong, though.

Sakurai himself said that we are going to have a trailer right after that direct...
 
A ND tomorrow?! Sweet! I'll take a release date for Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta: Climax Edition on the eShop please.

Kamiya confirmed that W101 will be on the ND tomorrow... so don't expect it to be there.

As for anything bayonetta? Not likely till E3.

Also damn, SNES is awesome... but I've fought so hard to ignore all gaf image trends, even ones I've approved of... but sooo tempting.
 
If anybody wants to slap "only for" on my Luigi-hat wearing Kyle Hyde avatar, I would greatly appreciate it!

He should also confirm that he's working on Starfox for the Nintendo Wii U.
 
Bayonetta Climax Edition announced tomorrow for the end of Summer would make this ND great, even if it's the only new announcement.

Edit: Also, can I have a retro "Only for" on my avatar? :P

If you want help keeping up with the requests, drop the layer with just the logo and I'll help add a bunch (or I guess I could get off my lazy arse and just make my own overlay....)
 
Source for Capcom games? Didn't they recently state they canceled a handful of unannounced titles? Also the rest seems pretty poor. Smash isn't a third party game.

The Capcom games are Resident Evil: Revelations and then downloadables Ducktales and Chronicles of Mystara. Deep Down, Remember Me and Lost Planet 3 are no-shows.

Activision has supported nearly 100% up to this point, but doesn't seem to have completely made its mind up about future releases.

Sega seems to be onboard for at least Sonic games.
 
I appreciate it, but after careful consideration, I decided to just use the official seal of quality. Gotta be different while I'm fitting in yo!

No problem. And classy way to go!! =D

And for those interested this is the logo I'm using, is kinda low res but for avatars is working fine!

Hmm back to discussing for me... I WANT another ambassador program because I got all sorts of cool goodies for my 3DS... but I loath to what that will actually mean for Ninty... Still, as awful as it is, I'm hoping we'll see a price cut and ambassador announcement.

(edit) And for Seal of Quality fans...

Please have some good news because I am tired with all the negative crap surrounding Nintendo Wii U these days.

It's amazing how different Wii U and 3DS are, the 3DS is getting good news usually with tons of third party support, while Wii U always gets bad news with not so great third party support.

I really think if Nintendo put time and effort the Wii U could be Nintendo's best system, they did stuff right with Wii U but they also did mistakes with Wii U.

Nintendo really has to fix these mistakes because I don't want the Wii U to be a failure, I know how some people on GAF feel about the Wii U and Nintendo but if they hositly think the Wii U doesn't deserve "love" than I think that's just wrong, same for Vita.

I still think that the best thing for Nintendo to do is something they should have done years ago. Give NoA and NoE some leeway and independence and allow them to have dev teams/small & medium sized studios set up in EU and US.
