Shouldn't there at least be another 3DS one before E3?

 

[Panthalassic]

I said 'oh shit son' out loud when I saw the announcement on Facebook. My body is ready.

 

[jschreier]

It's only 2 hours difference from their old E3 conferences, isn't it?

Either way, it's MAN UP TIME.

RANDOM ATTACH OF CAPS TIME DUE TO MY HYPE BY THE LOOKS OF IT TOO.

They're also doing a media briefing at 9:30am PT on June 11. I dunno why they couldn't just combine both. But hey.

 

[Askherserenity]

I'm ready but before I board.... Does this train have any seatbelts?

Where we're going, we don't need seatbelts.

 

[gamergirly]

I agree

 

[Ridley327]

Shouldn't there at least be another 3DS one before E3?

There likely will be, if this is going to be focused on Wii U games; it's not like they can announce much else for the 3DS this year, with its packed schedule.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

I have an exam later that day, but screw it, I want to watch Nintendo hopefully redeem themselves and the Wii U with this Direct. This better be really good.

 

[Various Artists]

Hopefully 100% dedicated to Bayonetta 2.

I would accept just abotu anything Bayonetta too thats not the same teases weve already seen. I want gameplay videos!

 

[Aostia]

What, how?

I was really hoping for more Directs spread durng the E3 period: slightly before, at the opening of the fair (actually happening), during the week and at the end of the fair.
Instead we are getting confirmation that they simply substitute the usual conference with a NDirect, that's all.
I don't think that they will be able to properly show everything I would like to see, how I'd like to see, with just one recorded video.
Especially because if there is a negative side for the Nintendo Directs, I think that it is the complete lack of any updates between one video and another.

 

[Sadist]

End of June most likely

 

[Rhapsody]

So excited. Give me something to look forward to getting, Nintendo. My Wii U is ready.

 

[Deku Tree]

Why are they waiting until after the PS4 & Xbone presentations?

 

[Linkhero1]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

I have work

fuck

 

[SpaceHobo]

My Body Is Ready - to be disappointed.

Please announce something that justifies the money I paid for WiiU

 

[Arc Christelle]

Had to take them out because they added too much weight.

Good.

It's time to Kill People Burn Shit and Fuck Schools!

 

[Kandinsky]

Nice to finally have a time, hype!.

[zroid]

This can't be a Nintendo Direct. They gave us more than 24 hrs notice!

 

[Qurupeke]

MU REGGIE IS READU 4 U.

Its probably better to just drop everything at once. Otherwise you would have a ton of people saying "But you promised wed discuss Smash Bros!" All week.

 

[InsaneZero]

They really don't care for the other E3 conferences if they intend to show this after them, huh.

 

[Volotaire]

This can't be a Nintendo Direct. They gave us more than 24 hrs notice!

This is Megaton Direct

 

[rokero]

yeaahhhhhhh drop the bombs iwata this direct will be mind blowing

[/IMG]

 

[SEGAvangelist]

If there is a train gif going... I want in this time!

 

[Kazerei]

Why are they waiting until after the PS4 & Xbone presentations?

Nintendo usually goes last (of the three hardware companies), at least as far as I can remember

 

[Neiteio]

How many pages will this thread be by then?

 

[Wiz]

Just to be clear. This will probably not be the only Direct during E3 period. A separate one focused on 3DS is likely.

 

[jay]

I really hope they announce game.

 

[Tuck]

So same time and date as a normal E3 event. Just pre recorded. Ok.

Exciting. I expect bombs to be dropped Iwata!

 

[Various Artists]

Why are they waiting until after the PS4 & Xbone presentations?

Tradition it seems. Maybe they want the WiiU to be the most recent thing people are talking about.

Nintendo will have a rough run of trying to garner attention during the massive full reveals of PS4 and Xbone.

 

[roddur]

it'll be disappointing

Spoiler

from 3rd parties perspective

There's nothing that says they won't have some surprises along the week. Or guest interviews. They just not going head to head with Sony & Microsoft conferences. They going to stealth methods hehe

 

[serplux]

They usually have their E3 presentation after Sony and Microsoft, so nothing's really changed.

 

[Courage]

Nintendo usually goes last (of the three hardware companies), at least as far as I can remember

But this is their own schedule. They could have gone before if they wanted.

 

[Carpe Diem]

[HigherLevel]

Super Mario U, Super Smash Bros. 4, Mario Kart U, Retro's game, and X. Get hyped.

 

[Mileena]

My body is ready for the disappointment.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

This better be longer than half an hour.

 

[Padawan of Windu]

Just about the same time as their standard conference usually is, exactly as I said! And I still have the day taken off for it, so wooooooo!!! A-here we go!

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Give me my smash Nintendo. Do it.

 

[Aostia]

Its probably better to just drop everything at once. Otherwise you would have a ton of people saying "But you promised wed discuss Smash Bros!" All week.

Not if they share with us the complete schedule before.
I was really hoping for more Directs, focused on different topics/games.
At least on different consoles...

There's nothing that says they won't have some surprises along the week. Or guest interviews. They just not going head to head with Sony & Microsoft conferences. They going to stealth methods hehe

don't know, the hype decreased a little..

That's kind of what I was hoping for if we weren't getting the traditional conference.

yeah, I know that feeling...

 

[Galang]

I have an appointment that time! Didn't expect it that early or the exact same day as usual

Hyped though!! Hope it's an hour long

 

[RAWi]

June 11th!

Hope Nintendo gets all the guns out for this one. I want to see everything they have for this year, and part of 2014.

 

[JDSN]

They're also doing a media briefing at 9:30am PT on June 11. I dunno why they couldn't just combine both. But hey.

What? That is so damn odd and redundant, I guess your people are only showing up in case they show new stuff?

 

[massoluk]

Save us from Xbone, Nintendo, you're our only hope (Ok, you and PS4)

 

[Spieler Eins]

it'll be disappointing

Spoiler

from 3rd parties perspective

I enjoy the random things Iwata ,,moneyhats'' or outsources lately. Kinda the most interest thing about it, especially since those will be the only 3rd party exclusives left in the industry most likely.

 

[Tuck]

Why are they waiting until after the PS4 & Xbone presentations?

Nintendo has always done their presentation on the Tuesday after Microsoft and Sony go. The only difference this year is that it is pre-recorded.
