Support NeoGAF

[Neiteio]

Man, just repeating the Brawl roster for the Nintendo reps would be so boring. (And yes, I know Little Mac was added) We need some MODOK/Shuma Gorath-style obscure characters.

 

[KojiKnight]

Damn this is beautiful ;_;

I absolutely do not want... Street Fighter mechanics are nothing like smash bros and the two would blend terribly together.

Give me Mega Man or Tron Bonne in smash and I'll be happy.

 

[AnimeSlash]

If there's gonna be any third-party stuff for the Wii U in the next year, it's gonna be from Japanese Third-Party. We won't get much from Western devs.

Pretty much agree with you. Other than Ubisoft, Warner Bros and Activision. I don't really see others than those putting games on Wii u.

This is awesome

 

[Kacho]

E3 should be interesting- I was expecting solid Japanese 3rd party support but after launched its dwindled to essentially nothing.

Yeah, I was expecting some as well. I can only hope that the reason those titles never got announced is because Nintendo asked them to hold off on announcing/releasing them until the Fall/Winter for a relaunch.

Highly unlikely scenario, but it makes me sleep better at night.

 

[Kandinsky]

This will be the first time I watch the english Direct instead of the JP one.

*feels dirty*

 

[Dr. Kenneth Noisewater]

This will be the first time I watch the english Direct instead of the JP one.

*feels dirty*

I am watching both. The Japanese one on my 55" TV, and the English one on my laptop.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

I had a dream....... The NDirect started like this:

Iwata: Please understand

Spoiler

that we are gonna drop some bombs today

 

[BY2K]

It's probably going to be the exact same Direct for all 3 regions.

Like, zero differences.

 

[RyuKanSan]

that is truly epic on some dropthebombs.gif epic

 

[AnimeSlash]

This will be the first time I watch the english Direct instead of the JP one.

*feels dirty*

I'll be watching both as usual. I'll window it on my 32'' TV which is connected to my pc. I am so ready for this!

 

[Sadist]

Yup.

The January Direct was the same for all three regions right?

I know, and I would prefer for better roster but it's only good nintendo vs capcom fanmade picture that I could find.

I absolutely do not want... Street Fighter mechanics are nothing like smash bros and the two would blend terribly together.

Give me Mega Man or Tron Bonne in smash and I'll be happy.

Erm, it wouldn't be Street Fighter mechanic. I would preferring to see marvelish mechanic and I think they can pull it off.

well I don't think they'd try and blend them, I'd expect it to play like marvel vs. capcom.

Images of crates, bears and DeWalt tools ought to start appearing online by Friday or end of the week, right? Can't wait for that thread.

Someone needs to post the E3 Bear crates!

Nintendo vs Capcom game needs to happen!

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Oh God
oh god
this is beautiful omg ;____:
Capcom do it please

 

[Solid SOAP]

I am actually realy hoping to get some real game-play footage of Yarn Yoshi. I feel people seem to have swept this one under the rug.

Yes. Many people are excited for Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros., and will not settle for less, and that's cool, but every console Yoshi game is a charming and wonderful experience, and I expect this to be the same. The footage they posted earlier in the Epic Yarn-esque level left me a bit lukewarm, but I'm hoping by now they've mastered working in 3D and we'll get to see more of the prettier levels in motion.

I also expect this game to have an awesome soundtrack, Good Feel killed it with the Epic Yarn soundtrack, oh man.

 

[SloaneRisette]

MvC3 engine and I would be there day damn one.

Spoiler

I'm not getting myself hyped up for a Nintendo vs Capcom though.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

For me it would be "Hey, all the Nintendo characters I know Vs Ryu and some other guys", so no thanks. But I see the appeal.

 

[Volotaire]

Yup.

The January Direct was the same for all three regions right?

Slightly different, Earthbound Japan, slightly different virtual console games.

 

[69wpm]

 

[D-e-f-]

I've clearly been out of the loop. Are these numbers based off some actual Nintendo media or did they all originate from this thread.

What numbers? The countdown? That's OUR countdown.

This is probably closer to reality as far as guesses go. The only thing that won't happen will be WWHD in the summer, that'll be Oct/Nov probably.

I could definitely see a third party collaberation reveal and at least one unknown big first party reveal. If it's Metroid or Star Fox, I'll be a happy camper.

I really like this, and I can safely hope this will happen too, although I doubt the 3DS Direct will happen Wednesday night, when all of us are at Best Buy playing Mario U
More likely Wednesday morning, same time.

 

[zroid]

Actually didn't occur to me they were doing a Japanese Direct for E3. I guess it's cool Japan gets to partake in the festivities a bit more this year.

Yup, pretty much my prediction for the show exactly. They'll save Kart, 3D Mario, Retro and Smash for the end, in that order.

 

[DaBoss]

Times are also more friendly to worldwide folk in a sense, though it is still an hour before midnight in Japan.

Someone needs to post the E3 Bear crates!

Can't fucking wait till we see the crates, gonna be almost as big as E3 itself.

Here's your soundtrack for the rest of the countdown to E3!

The picture of the Bears mauling the E3 attendees is my favorite GAF photochop of all time. It still makes me laugh to this day.

I was only a lurker at the time, but I will just say I laughed out loud in a quiet zone on a train when I first saw this.

 

[Neiteio]

I hope this Direct features ball-busting smug-ass dark-'n-swarthy-stare "Sit down and shut the fuck up" Reggie, and not the broken watered-down soft-served come-to-Jesus Reggie we've been getting lately. Reggie has always been the bulging testicular fortitude to Iwata's intellect and Miyamoto's wide-eyed child-like heart.

Seriously, I miss that Reggie.

 

[jmls1121]

I was only a lurker at the time, but I will just say I laughed out loud in a quiet zone on a train when I first saw this.

Everything about it is perfect:

1. The sheer horror in the audience

2. The Bears streaming in from backstage and Reggie not fearful in the slightest

3. 2004 era Miyamoto and Iwata on the big screens, enjoying the show as the Americans are eaten alive.

Reggie on the JP Direct? Nope.

 

[jmls1121]

Reggie should bring him a bag of Doritos.

Nintendo wholeheartedly embraced meme culture last year at E3, I would not be surprised if this happened.

 

[Neiteio]

speaking of Reggie, can't wait till Doritos Pope grills him, last year was hilarious

It'd be great if Reggie's PR evasion this year was him munching loudly on Doritos and sucking down Mountain Dew. "Sorry, Holy Pep-see, I can't hear you over all this extreme snacking."
