It has to be fake. Again, this cannot be real unless Nintendo posted the video of a Direct, filmed and edited, more than a week in advance on Youtube by mistake.
 
So...is the possibilities of multiple Directs out of the question?

I mean really...didn't we get a direct a month or so after last year's E3 with the 3DS XL being revealed? And NSMB2 being revealed a month or so before last year's E3? When both are E3 material?

I guess that's the good thing. Nobody stops the Direct train. All year long baby.

Well we are already getting multiple directs such a Pokemon and The main one, I wouldn't be surprised at extra ones.

Yeah, they've never done this, not sure why would they start doing it with one of the most important NDs ever. If we didn't knew the date things like this wouldn't be happening, I think that says something.
 
I can't believe people are even taking that rumor to be possibly real. It's so obviously fake, guys.

Faking YouTube descriptions is so difficult, it has to be real!

And, no, it's not fishy at all that the video had over a hundred views without anyone making at least a screenshot of the new games.
 
Guys, of course it's fake !
It's claiming 183 persons had view that video. If it was the case, someone would have reposted the video, or at least took screenshot.

Yeah I was thinking of the Pokemon one. Directs dedicated to certain games or even developers and maybe even a separate one for the 3DS isn't out of the question because even if we don't get one this month we'll get one eventually I guess.
 
Hello guys,

It seems a french website have caught the program of the Nintendo Direct via the Nintendo's YouTube Channel.

Seems legit but hard to say if all is true in this list...

If it's real. Well, that's not that bad and I can live with that.

I found it amusing that third party game only got 1 minutes 40 seconds

Well we are already getting multiple directs such a Pokemon and The main one, I wouldn't be surprised at extra ones.

Pokemon Direct isn't true yet since there is no confirmation of Pokemon Direct. Only 90 minutes of Pokemon conference at E3. NOT A DIRECT.

However I wouldn't be surprised if they would release one afterward.
 
I guess the problem is whether or not this is real...it's actually believable coming from Nintendo. I could see Nintendo being happy with this lineup. "We got AssCreed! That's great right?" I can hear Reggie saying. Acting like Watchdogs and AC would be a big deal :(

Well, to be fair, remember last June when gaf though there was barely a snowball's chance in hell the Wii U would get Watch_Dogs?

Anyway, you're not the first one this morning to say that seeing this FAKE list (even knowing and acknowledging that it's fake) has affected your expectations and caused disappointment. How asinine is that?
 
fake or not it is very possible they'll hold out some of important announcements for a future direct after the summer, like for black ops last year.

I think it is fake too, but I'll just throw this out there:

Nintendo might have tried to do a scheduled upload, but accidentally published it. It's a mistake I have seen happen before.

Yep, that's the biggest red flag. They probably haven't even shot this Direct yet, and they definitely wouldn't upload it this early.

HEY!

The person who posted this is the person who posted it here!

Where did you get that screencrab?

LOL wow! Posting a fake rumor and pimping your own site? For shame.

No way they have the video ready, it would be way too soon to upload it.
 
My hype went to almost zero seeing those silhouettes.
3D Mario - awesome. Everything else we've already seen / known about for years!

"years" lol what are you talking about

W101 was announced less than a year ago.

Pikmin 3 wasn't even officially announced as a real game until last E3.

Certainly prior to the January Wii U Direct, there was no word whatsoever on a new 3D Mario from Nintendo
 
You guys are forgetting the 20 minutes we'll have with some random NOA guy talking about Super Luigi U, Animal Crossing 3DS, Game & Wario, Shin Megami Tensei 4, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Mario Party 3DS and Mario Golf: World Tour. Besides, there will be some sort of summer firmware update, so I guess Iwata will talk about that.

There will probably be just about 35 minutes (or less) of really relevant information. =(

You are forgetting that this is a Wii U Direct and that they JUST covered Game & Wario and NSLU. This isn't a regular Direct that updates you on what's coming out soon. You don't need to artificially downplay your hype.

lol if you believe for a second that that's real I don't know how to help you anymore :D
 
I guess even if it is fake that's the case with 99% or rumours and leaks. Still interesting to talk about since Nintendo have been silent for a while.

Do you think if this Direct approach to E3 works we'd see it next year? I'm thinking they are doing this because of the situation they are in and want to get through as much as possible and having an edited video makes things more concise.

A french website YOU write for! In fact, YOU wrote the article talking about this leak.

Where did you get that screengrab? Namlo is who gave it to you, correct? Where did HE get it?
 
I really do hope that is fake (pretty sure it is) because I would be so disappointed if Monolith Soft's "X" wasn't going to show up in at least trailer form. :( That's one of the main games I'm wanting to see at E3!
 
I though NDs were prerecorded?

Prerecorded, fully edited right down to the second, and left on the shelf for a week and a half? Then uploaded on Youtube by mistake?

Give over.
They made mistake, I assume. I thought it's normal that they would pre-recorded several weeks before the date so people have time to work on editing.

This isn't giving a few weeks for editing, though. This proclaims that the Direct is fully edited to the extent that they can have timings for the content accurate to the second.

Come on, have a bit of credulity. It's clearly, plainly fake.
 
We seems like I missed something major lol. I don't buy that list. It's missing Bayonetta 2 who is confirmed for the Nintendo E3 Direct.
 
I say fake, but would you really be disappointed with that? I wouldn't. 3D Mario, Mario Kart, SSB, Retro's game and a little time for third parties (which is something I don't specifically care for in a ND but it's always a plus). Sure, I would like to see X and Bayonetta 2, but this wouldn't disappoint me.
 
I can totally believe that supposedly leaked topic list for the E3 direct. Time distribution is strange but I can see the focusing in games that will be out soon. Also new games getting small time on the E3 direct makes sense for me since there probably are going to be other direct videos during the show that go in depth with them.

No bayonetta, monolith or yoshi disapointing but fits completely my expectations about the show.

I think this "leak" is going to do well for the community, regarless of if it's true or not, since I think most people expectations are way too high and lowering the bar as some people here is doing is the smart thing to do.
