Coincedence? probably. I thought it was interesting nonetheless.
 
I predict Pikmin 3 and an unannounced casual title to take up a cumulative 30 minutes of the 60 minute NDirect.

lol I know your joking but it seems like Nintendo is not focusing on casual games lately, Wii Fit U and Wii U Party was not even mentioned in the last ND.

I think they know that the people who watch the ND's are core players and most of the casual software on WiiU is selling way worst then the core stuff, I think thats why Wii Fit U is delayed with no date.

Wasnt this also the case last year? But there was still a big focus on the 3DS, hell, it even got its own conference.

It got it's own conference because the Wii U ate the entirety of the presser and had it's own direct before E3.

We can all be disappointed in what Nintendo wasn't ready to show, but there's no doubt they focused on the Wii U.

Last year 3DS only had a few mins and rumor is that they added that since some games were pulled at the last min. 3DS had its own conf. last year which I think they may do again this year.
 
1 hours is soooooo disappointing. Hype deflating. Also are they really going to show Pikmin, W101 and WWHD again.

We've not seen WWHD yet. Others will be out afer E3. An hour is longer than any other Direct thats been on this year.


In other news, Sony will probably talk about The Last of Us too.
 
Seriously the number of people saying "we'll see W101 AGAIN" amazes me.
We don't know shit about it.
We had like two trailers since its reveal.
They haven't showed footage for months.
Most people in existence still don't know wtf the game is about.


I guess the confusion comes from Iwata's mentioning it verbally one or two times, but serisouly, they have been silent as fuck about it.
They still have to confirm multiplayer, release some story trailer and properly explain/show the gameplay mechanics.
All we know about it we deduced it from the two trailer and the demo. It wasn't really presented on a Direct.

Then again then should do a Direct just for that closer to release.

I dont care if they show W101 but I bet all that stuff will be covered on the show floor by journalists and stuff.

Yeah, all the media they've been perpetually putting out for WWHD has been really tiring, right?


They showed 4 test screens of one area, using old character models.
 
Not only that, but Super Luigi U too!

It's irritating. Shove the stuff we already know about into another direct please, Nintendo.

Exactly, focus on the new stuff.
Somebody dont remember the last 10 mins of the jan direct

They did announce of a lot games in a short amount of time but I would be disappointed if it was like that again. Gameplay + release dates and were set.

I hope they just gloss over that stuff, like heres a trailer and then release date. Remember this is replacing their conference which usually is 1.5 hours so thats why I thought it was a bit disappointing but there would be probably be lots of edits to make it concise.

Eh? I doubt Sony will talk about Last of Us other than an example of a great game. Release date to garner attention. Actually could that be a reason for Nintendo to highlight the announced games: advertising the release date.
