I don't understand why you deliberately misrepresent what other people have said, unless you really lack the comprehension to detect nuance in the argument.

If you're happy with seeing a parade of me-too sequels, I'd suggest you get hyped. You're gonna see a lot of them.

Yeah, if you're going to misrepresent what other people are arguing, the key is to do it in a hypothetical.

Or rather, you should do it in a hypothetical, if you were going to do it, hypothetically.
 
here are my realistic predictions (i've done really good on these in the past):

wii u:
-account system rolled out immediately after direct. connects to club nintendo account.
-nintendo power network is a subscription service that gets you free games, early access to demos, and nintendo secret directs similar to how gaf gold users can ************* and ********* in the *************** forum, but normal users will only see asterisks.
-bayonetta 1 announced for wii u, and will be a free download to anyone who buys bayonetta 2 from the eshop.
-sonic and mario announced as the third sonic game for wii u
-persona 5 wii u exclusive. more details from atlus on november 24

3ds:
-miiverse support, and integration with the new account system
-super mario galaxy 3d announced for 3ds
-majora's mask 3d announced for 3ds
-persona 4 the platinum announced for 3ds: includes everything from golden and extra stuff

eshop:
-bill trinen talks about mother 3 coming to the eshop... right now. as he talks, the camera slowly zooms in on his face until all you can see are his eyes

yeah right....

OPTIMISTIC/DELIRIOUS

Hypothetically, that would be quite the hypotgetical dick move.
 
Aww yiss. Hopefully this coincides with the major system update. I can just imagine Iwata explaining all the new features and then saying "it's available NOW!"
 
I obviously didn't say that in any of the times I've criticized the game. It could be better than its predecessor, but that's not enough. It's not the new, fresh game many were expecting.

I don't understand why you deliberately misrepresent what other people have said, unless you really lack the comprehension to detect nuance in the argument. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's deliberate.

I said E3 was the most disappointing for me, and I'm going to try not to get hyped for their reveals anymore. If you're happy with seeing a parade of me-too sequels, I'd suggest you get hyped. You're gonna see a lot of them.

But you've misrepresented the past of 3D Mario to come to that conclusion. You think Sunshine was some amazing new innovative experience but all it was was a bigger Mario 64 with less level variety, in some cases less complex levels, with worse mission goals, and a new power up that dumbed down platforming and added a tedious water spraying mechanic. Why was it okay when Sunshine was an upgraded Mario 64? Why isn't the cat suit some major revelation for you? The multiple characters with their own abilities?

I didn't misrepresent what you said, you just argue the semantics. You think this game is an uninspired me-too game. You were fine with Sunshine being a bigger Mario 64 with a new power up but a bigger 3D Land with a new power up is awful.

It is the fresh new Mario game, you just draw arbitrary exclusions.

Had me until the very last sentence.
 
Wait, people are expecting megaton announcements?

Did you even read OP? Games coming out THIS year...

Eh Nintendo is always like that. Just for pre-E3 Direct Nintendo said they will talk about games releasing this summer. People said the exact same thing you're saying now. Then they announced Sonic Lost World and Mario & Sonic at Sochi Olympics. This is just one example too.

They always say the ND will focus on stuff, then have at least one thing nobody expected.

I expect one megaton shocker tomorrow

I don't remember this happening, but if you say so..

GET HYPE.

Sunshine was by far the worst 3d mario game, so if you're trying to use that as the measuring stick for 3d world, that in itself is already a big problem.

The cat suit isn't impressive in the same way that the power ups in mario galaxy weren't, on their own, impressive.

I didn't look at mario galaxy and think "WOW, BEE MARIO? I NEED THAT".

Predictions or do you mean to say insider tips?
Clearly AniHawk works for Nintendo.
 
Guys, we'll have plenty of time for Freezie KO to shit on/RagnarokX to post pictures of SM3DW tomorrow when new footage/clear cat suits are announced. Save some of that moxxy for Tuesday

I agree that Sunshine was awful. The only reason I'm using it is because Freezie thinks it was an example of the kind of Mario to get excited for. The reasons that Sunshine was awful are absent from 3D World, though, so I think I'm safe.

I like how you preemptive ad hominem while acting like your views are above the discussion.
 
Those small directs?
The last "big" direct which didnt just pop up on youtube was good. Normally the directs deliever and I guess this one will too.

The last Direct gave us a AA vs Layton announcement as well as some other smaller ones. We got new footage of a lot of unreleased games and people were still disappointed.

This time will be no different, people get more excited about announcements than games that are coming out soon.
 
Well exactly. Just because they didn't optimize the emulator to use the in-game features for the hastily put together Ambassador games doesn't mean they never will be able to.

what emulator??? the GBA ambassador games are not emulated, the system basically turns itself into a GBA to play the games
 
All I want in the form of new information/"announcements" is confirmation of the account system, Miiverse 3DS and as a hopeful dream, a system-wide achievement system (3DS and Wii U).

Nintendo doesn't have to announce any new games to make me happy, focusing on current releases is good enough. It's the hardware improvements I really want to hurry up and happen.
 
I'd like to see more 3D World footage anyway, since we've seen next to nothing officially since E3.

Not to mention the obligatory fire Iwata threads

Damn, I KNEW I had forgotten something...

Are Nintendo Directs live or taped ahead of time and they just release a video at 7am?

They're pre-recorded, then streamed at the designed time, then made available on YouTube shortly after the presentation.

I wish you were Iwata.

I figured I could just make my posts now and reuse most of the assets for my Tuesday posts.

My expectations:

-update information. Folders, a little faster, and a big miiverse update with communities
-one more Zelda trailer
-Wii Party U, Sonic, Batman
-Zelda and Mario Party on 3DS
-Bravely Default localization
-N64 VC coming, with the usual contenders (Mario 64 and Starfox and OOT)
-Monster Hunter 4 localized and ported to WiiU, coming in March
-for the love of fucking god announce Waverace, F-Zero, Metroid. Even a teaser. Throw us a goddamn bone Iwata.
 
Man, at this point, even getting footage of 3D World or ALBW would be pretty surprising.

I'm assuming at this point Nintendo marketing is working on a "Pre-Pokemon" and "Post-Pokemon" timeline. We'll probably hear more once that behemoth is released. This direct is just the first step to that.
 
Man, if they talk about anything more than holiday game and bundle hype I will be immensely, and I do mean unbelievably surprised.

Oh you gaiz....
 
What's all this talk about a proper account system? I mean, it would be great, but is there any reason at all to assume they're working on it? Or is this just another GAF hype delusion?
Normally I can tell pretty well, but this one seems to pop up out of nowhere.
 
Just show me some more Mario 3d world and I'm cool.

Anyone expecting more is setting themselves up. Don't overhype everything and maybe the random oh that's neat moments will mean more instead of being WTF is this shit it's not the pokemon mmo that I wanted. Fuck you nintendo.

Expect little get more

Miiverse login site started redirecting from miiverse.nintendo.net to id.nintendo.net today. People started assuming this meant that they were laying the groundwork for a unified ID system.

There's that and also that they've acknowledge our concerns for one. One poster above elaborated that they were having some trouble figuring things out. We're all sure it's coming, because it seems like a no-brainer, but we're just not sure when. People always bring up the account system whenever there's a Direct.
