Probably, just wait for the press releases then.Meh. These directs are losing their appeal to me. What, are we going to see footage of the E3 games again? I'm tired of seeing Bayonetta 2, Pokemon, WWHD, SM3DW, DKCTF and third party game footage we know are coming. Unless it's about what the Wii U update is going to do or new games being announced its pointless. It's just a recap that could easily be done in a press release.
Some gameplay footage of X might be worth it though, or a new Zelda

To be fair it's kind of a spiritual successor to Devil May Cry. You can see how the stylishness of that game rubbed off on RE4.

Good riddance.
Anyways, I'm somewhat excited. The last one was a bit underwhelming, but October is usually a good month for Nintendo news

listen to the mad man
... you really don't get it. Nintendo Direct is a press release. Every other publisher maintains a blog where they release game assets. They cooperate with external magazine publishers and gaming sites to deliver assets and playthrough footage. They release press releases. That's what they do. Nintendo Direct isn't intended to be a MEGATON ANNOUNCEMENT CONFERENCE, it's intended to be the routine way in which Nintendo releases new information about games under development. The only reason anyone thinks different is because of F5 OMG BOMB ZEL DROPPEN LET'S GET UP AT 4 IN THE MORNING TO WATCH internet meme culture. Just because it happens to be streaming on its first-run doesn't mean it's supposed to be a live event spectacular.
You can continue expecting Nintendo Direct to appear every 4-6 weeks and offer footage and updates on games coming out in the near future combined with teases of far-off announcements. Just like other publishers do in magazines and on websites.

NOA fb just confirmed the confirmation
The Nintendo twitter accounts just tweeted this out as well.

So odd to see a new major ND announced hours before Nintendo twitter accounts announce them.

A large price cut and bundle in the UK is needed if they aren't to completely disintegrate in when the PS4 arrives.
Who on earth would rather get a £250 Wii U than a £350 PS4?

Choo choo!
Every Nintendo direct has given me something to be excited over and it's been awhile since we've had one not targeted at a specific game

Thank you! Nintendo Directs are fancy press releases, not mini-E3s.

Oh yeah come on Picross e3 in the eShop games segment (it was meant to be out in NA for September...).

Gameplay footage of X will always be worth it, man I can't wait for that game.
Hopefully with WWHD just about fully out, we'll start hearing about new Zelda (I hope!).

Anyone expecting 'Chibi Robo! Let's Go Photo!' for tomorrow?

I just bought a Wii U Zelda Themed Bundle.... They can't do this to me. The collector in me will have to buy it. *Wallet cries*
Should be stickied in every Direct thread. We get bombshells every now and again but that's no different to any press release. Nintendo direct is for announcements and roundups of everything compiled into an easily digestible video.
It's to inform us on what's coming up and what to expect in the up coming days and months.
We'll get stuff like X announced but it's pretty much the equivalent of a dev in an interview letting some info slip but in a controlled manner.
It's nice to get excited and by all means please be excited but don't moan if all they show is trailers of games we know about.
Mihael has just confirmed that NOA Facebook has confirmed the confirmation.

Can we stop this? The PS4 bundle that comes with a game, to compare to the £249.99 Wii U SKU, costs £429.99. Now, if you still think people are willing to pay the extra £180, that's fine. But let's compare A to A and not A to B.
I expect Japan to focus on the newly announced bundles coming 10/31.

Wonder if we'll get new games announced.
I can confirm this is an accurate confirmation.
X. Seriously they should keep it.

I agree, hopefully we get something on a Wii U transfer tool at the very least. Especially now that they're releasing new bundles/limited editions of the console that people might want to upgrade/switch to.

wow yall need to stop confirming confirmed confirmations
that's it, NCL, NoE and NoA just announced the Nintendo Direct on Twitter. The Hype Train is now at the station : everyone should get on board right away!
Oh cool. I had to wait until Sep 2nd, but I now have 15 on my account... perfect for The Wind Waker HD (and its crappy 59.99price tag on the eShop : /)
Well, they often look better than E3, but it's sad to see how quickly people are to take some things for granted...
Hey! I did get the refund. They credited my eShop account about 5 days after I communicated them about the mistake. It was very straight forward. They even called me on my mobile to tell me they had refunded me.

no, Xenoform or bust.
Well, in conjunction with a more detailed look at Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, and Wii Sports Club? I think that is likely.
