proper release dates for sega 3d classics pls

 

[Bisnic]

In a surprise announcement, Nintendo reveals that Mario Kart 8 will launch this fall instead of next year!

 

[Myriadis]

If they don't announce at least 3 new first party IPs that cater exactly to my tastes Nintendo can go fuck themselves. Just warming myself up for being inevitable disappointed and stuff.

 

[Mark1]

Maybe they'll talk about the Summer Update for the Wii U? And the GBA games to launch with it?

I'd like to hear more on Smash Bros. even if it's just a teaser. I know the game isn't out until next year.

 

[Akey]

I hope for more 30 cent vc releases,pikmin dlc and secret codes, special edition legend of zelda xl, release dates on some games.Though new footage of some games would do.

 

[Neiteio]

I wonder if they're going back to work on Mario Football to help the really, really bad European sales.

Is Mario Football what they call Mario Strikers in the European territories? At any rate, I wouldn't be surprised -- they've had 3DS or WiiU installments to just about every other Mario-branded title.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I'm wondering if it's going to be a 3D game or another 2D/2.5D gig. As a huge Mega Man Zero fan, I'd prefer them doing something with sprites again.

Only info we have known is vast network features and functionality and the aim for it being a Online RPG of sorts. I just wonder how it will work out and what it even is.

Inti Creates being involved has me hyped since I'm a big Mega Man fan. Especially of the MMZ series.

And the name is very appealing.

 

[Mpl90]

Bowie, please. A Waluigi game has to be called "Waluigi Time".

 

[TunaLover]

Iwata promised more worldwide localizations due the interest in region free, I hope they announce DQX for US.

 

[evilromero]

How about N64 games on the Wii U VC? I would buy Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64 in a heartbeat.

 

[HoJu]

Isn't this suppose to be that rumored Pikmin direct everyone was talking about?

Pikmin direct?

 

[daripad]

Bowie, please. A Waluigi game has to be called "Waluigi Time".

Reyne as final boss confirmed?

 

[Birathen]

Has that third Sonic/sega title been announced?

 

[Frodo]

Wii U price drop, embassador, new bundles, secrect project launching until the end of this year. 3DS Miiverse, 3DS redesign (lite), new colours, new bundles. Pokemon Stadium U coming alongside Pokemon X Y. You can transfer and use your Pokemons from one game to another. Bundle with a special edition Wii U, all three Pokemon games (Stadium and X, Y) and a special edition 3DS. Also come with 5 NFC cards so you can unlock rare Pokemons on all 3 games.

BELIEVE.

 

[daripad]

Has that third Sonic/sega title been announced?

Nope, we need that announcement but I think they'll save it for next year

 

[EatChildren]

Wait, what's all this about a Pikmin 3 secret?

I always envision something similar to Grand Knight's History because of a Siliconera article.

It's probably nothing like it but my mind instantly makes the connection for some reason.

If you collect 10 things you get a secret message and something about giving you a code to enter.

It's probably nothing like it but my mind instantly makes the connection for some reason.

And we even use the same sources.

 

[DrFaustPhD]

I'm expecting release dates for the big games this fall.

I'd be thrilled to hear anything regarding VC though.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

W101 will be a major part of this Direct for sure cannot wait

 

[fredrancour]

Wait, what's all this about a Pikmin 3 secret?

People speculated there would be something like a mini-direct for publicity around the time of the NA release.

edit: never mind, apparently there was some actual bit of game content. I got too used to runaway gaf speculation.

 

[Busty]

I wonder if we'll see a price drop at this thing or whether TGS will bring all Nintendo's big announcements.

Also if I'm reading this right the UK time for this thing will be 3pm?

 

[borghe]

1. Highlight Upcoming Games
2. Price Drop to $250 with no game but including charging station (removing split bundles)
3. New Summer update goes live improving OS

Best Buy is already liquidating with a $50 gift card.

definitely not a liquidation. this is the same deal most stores had about 2-3 months ago also multiple stores have this right now. Target, Kmart and I believe Walmart at least.

This is a pretty routine sale on a console. I would be more inclined to call it a liquidation if it was just a straight up $50 off, not $50 of store credit.

With that being said, even though I own one already I would love to see a $250 price tag. I picked mine up on Warehouse Deals for $279 and absolutely feel I paid a fair price. $250 for the system as is is (IMHO) a great value.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Wait, what's all this about a Pikmin 3 secret?

Find ten secret memo/notes in the game that add up to give a numbered code. What the code will be used for is unknown as of yet.

 

[Glass Rebel]

And we even use the same sources.

brother?!

 

[SuperSah]

This is a normal Direct.

Not a Pikmin specific one.

 

[Hiltz]

- No Smash Bros news
- No Wii U price cut
- Wonderful 101,Pokemon Rumble U, New Super Luigi U (retail version), Mario & Luigi: DT, Monster Hunter 4
- Black 3DS XL reminder
- Pikmin 3 special code discussion
- Summer system update news

I don't know if we'll see new trailers and release date info for the other Wii U and 3DS titles due to the upcoming Fall Conference Direct.

 

[Outtrigger888]

Wait, what's all this about a Pikmin 3 secret?

Shhhhhhhh, comon now.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Also if I'm reading this right the UK time for this thing will be 3pm?

Yeah, it will.

 

[Platy]

proper release dates for sega 3d classics pls

Probably the best reasonable expectancy to have

Wait, what's all this about a Pikmin 3 secret?

Miyamoto said that there are numbers on the game's memos .. and these numbers would make a code and he would say later what are those codes for

 

[Lumyst]

Okay , that video got me. I chuckled a bit then I saw the arrows pointing at the "New Console" and "New Controller" and LOL.

"Ah, do they sell the controller separately? I've already got a Wii so I don't need the new redesigned Wii console they showed."

 

[Haines]

I have to say, Im hyped for this Direct. Now that we are closer than ever to the new WiiU games, I expect some juicy info to excite gamers!

The quality of Pikmin has me very excited for the future of Nintendo games!

 

[Mileena]

Wario and Waluigi RPG for Wii U. Handhelds can keep M&L

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Isn't this suppose to be that rumored Pikmin direct everyone was talking about?

We have already had a mini Nintendo direct focused on Pikmin 3 like just a month ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RLDQlGZf-g so I don't think we'll have another one.

[Tenki]

Wario and Waluigi RPG for Wii U. Handhelds can keep M&L

That'd be insane. This has to happen.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

It says updates on WiiU and 3DS games.....why are people saying there are going to be new games?

 

[MagiusNecros]

brother?!

Minds of like interests is a more apt term.

 

[eojoko]

I don't have a Wii U, but strangely I think WiiU Fit might be a system seller for me. . . I've been playing too many video games. I need to get in shape. I never had a Wii, so I don't know if I'd enjoy it, but it seems like a fun thing to incorporate into a routine.

 

[SuperSah]

It says updates on WiiU and 3DS games.....why are people saying there are going to be new games?

The hype train won't stop...

 

[EatChildren]

Thanks guys. Had no idea. Is it a unique code per player? Or universal?

Shhhhhhhh, comon now.

What?

 

[Frolow]

It says updates on WiiU and 3DS games.....why are people saying there are going to be new games?

Because hype.

Thanks guys. Had no idea. Is it a unique code per player? Or universal?

Think it's universal, but I could be wrong.

 

[Haines]

It says updates on WiiU and 3DS games.....why are people saying there are going to be new games?

Im not expecting any, but you do understand they wont announce that they will have a surprise in the Direct right? They have claimed many times that they have stuff too announce soon, so expecting announcements in a direct isnt really crazy talk.

 

[hatchx]

Summer update news is pretty exciting if it happens

 

[tolkir]

Only I can hope Shibata and boobs

Spoiler

(Senran Kagura EU)

 

[jmizzal]

Main line Nintendo Directs always delivery something very good, heck even the ND mini we got Earthbound released that day.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I hope for more 30 cent vc releases

YES

Keep the anniversary party going!

 

[evilromero]

Summer update news is pretty exciting if it happens

As long as it comes with some VC content.

 

[Exile20]

Wario and Waluigi RPG for Wii U. Handhelds can keep M&L

If only, it just makes too much sense, so it wouldn't happen.

 

[jmizzal]

Aww, it's a recap of games coming out before the end of the year?

Can we have ONE surprise announcement, please?

Dont expect any huge new news until Sept/Oct ND, when they show off Zelda WiiU
