This makes me wish I were making 3d models in the N64 era. "We just need it to pass for a chicken."

I love those simple poly models though. But yeah, nearly abstract. The leap from N64 to Gamecube poly complexity will never be achieved again.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I was talking about this, it's pretty recent so I guess it'll still take some time to get it.

Not altogether discouraging. It's acknowledging it's a problem to be solved, and that's enough for me. Implies they are working on a solution too. It's miles away from being told we're "Otakus" for wanting a better way.

 

[Elfteiroh]

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 platformer 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

Usually I'm the optimist one... but yeah... this is maybe too much. :/

[EDIT]
That will teach me to never stop reading before the last sentence. LMAO XD

Isn't there also scheduled Miiverse/eShop maintenance and down time tonight/tomorrow?

 

[Effect]

Any outlets or developers offering up any hints as to what might be included in the Nintendo Direct?

It's all coming together...

I know your joking

 

[Yonafunu]

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.

Huh. I guess that's something.

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.

Even if they've acknowledged our concerns, I wouldn't expect them to actually do something about it based on just that. I mean, this is Nintendo we're talking about, they're not well known for listening to their fans (or anyone for that matter).
Just look at the region locking thing.

 

[Into]

Is it unrealistic to hope for a Link Between Worlds release date?

 

[Broken Joystick]

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.

As a regular user of web Miiverse, I've had it redirect to id.nintendo.net once or twice throughout the last week or so. Seems to be more prominent now.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Miis in SM3DW demonstration, according to lGN

It would be hilarious if they somehow adjusted the physics based on your Mii's proportions.

 

[TheRealTalker]

so release dates... and maybe updates such as dlc features etc...

will probably watch it though

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Is it unrealistic to hope for a Link Between Worlds release date?

Huh? They announced November 22nd in the US awhile ago. I'm not sure about Europe. If they never confirmed one there, then I think it's safe to assume that you'll get it tomorrow.

 

[PhantomR]

VGAs.

Well, that's where they should announce it.

Ugh. No.


Keep it on a Nintendo Direct, please.

But never before that? C'mon, crush my hopes quickly :'(

Probably the most reasonable hope I've seen in this thread.

 

[Mockingbird]

Their fall conferences have usually been super killer so expectations are set at max!

 

[RagnarokX]

They did that in Mario Kart Wii.

 

[evilromero]

This is Nintendo's chance to really show us what Mario 3D World is about. Silence us naysayers.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

This is Nintendo's chance to really show us what Mario 3D World is about. Silence us naysayers.

Seriously. My hype for that game could not be any lower, even if they tried. It looked so uninspired at E3.

 

[Schnozberry]

I'm going for some new sports besides the originals in Wii Sports Club. Competitive online Tennis and Bowling will be a blast, but I want some Archery and Three Point Contests too.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Ugh. No.


Keep it on a Nintendo Direct, please.

Does this stem from your distaste for the VGAs, which are admittedly wretched, or do you think it would be an ineffective way to announce the game? I think it's a good way to get a lot of eyeballs from people in the much coveted dew-slamming demographic on the game and by extension the Wii U.

 

[L~A]

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.

Just realised this may be why I had to log in once again (even though I checked the box to stay logged in at all times) today, and several times in the past few days.

Nintendo. Announce something at the VGAs. Or even show something? BAHAHAHAHA

The closest we've ever gotten to a Nintendo presence during the VGAs was that Zelda tribute.

And that's a damn good thing. The VGA are a farce, the epitome of mediocrity and vulgarity.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

They did that in Mario Kart Wii.

Ahh I hadn't noticed!

 

[RagnarokX]

Ahh I hadn't noticed!

Yep, whether your Mii was light, medium, or heavy depended on how big you made it.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Ugh. No.


Keep it on a Nintendo Direct, please.

Yeah... It's obvious that Nintendo doesn't give a shit about the VGA's and the VGA's don't give a shit about Nintendo. It's a safe bet that the VGA's this year will primarily be a wankfest over B:I, TLOU and GTAV.

 

[Boerseun]

I want Geist 2 (in collaboration with n-Space), Gotcha Force 2 (in collaboration with Capcom) and Lost Kingdoms 3 (in collaboration with FROM Software), all for Wii U.

 

[Schnozberry]

And that's a damn good thing. The VGA are a farce, the epitome of mediocrity and vulgarity.

The VGA's are stereotype reinforcing dreck.

 

[SuperSah]

Holy shit, these hints, the extended maintenance, the odd Direct, the redirecting websites...

Miiverse 3DS and unified accounts are finally upon us...

mother of god

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Are we going to get a PLOK sequel?

Whatever happened to that rumor?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Holy shit, these hints, the extended maintenance, the odd Direct, the redirecting websites...

mother of god

Careful now there slugger. Not necessarily.

 

[CoolS]

Good to see that GAF is setting istelf up for disappointments again.

Seriously, we go through this with EVERY Direct. And afterwards people will be sad because "Nintendo didn't deliver"

 

[Soriku]

My expectations:

-Bravely Default localization

wut. It's already been announced.

Considering this is covering games coming this year I wouldn't expect much.

 

[Qurupeke]

So, will Nintendo finally buy Google, Apple and USA?

 

[cafemomo]

IDS HABBENING

 

[vinnygambini]

So, will Nintendo finally buy Google, Apple and USA?

And Disney. Just received the memo.

 

[Sandfox]

So, will Nintendo finally buy Google, Apple and USA?

Iwata and all the other CEOs are going to walk on stage and rip off their suit jackets to reveal shirts with the Cyberdyne Systems logo on it.

 

[BlackJace]

And Disney. Just received the memo.

They get Marvel if they get Disney. The true master plan.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

They get Marvel if they get Disney. The true master plan.

KH3 Wii U exclusive

 

[Gianni Merryman]

4PM (GMT+2) / 3PM (UK Time).

Actually, Nintendo hasn't officially announced it, it's just NoA who has sent some PR mail to the press (kinda surprising, I mean a PR mail at 1AM on a Monday morning? I suspect that mail wasn't supposed to be sent just yet).

The official announcement will come in exactly 2 hours!

I'm not sure whether this has been brought up already, btw I have just received an email from Nintendo of Europe, ND officially confirmed, same hour as NA.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

So... if we get Miiverse on 3DS, what do we reckon, will it be able to use in-game or its own separate app?

 

[Darryl]

We're now getting to the point to where it is going to be really hard for any other competitors to respond to anything Nintendo has planned for the Holidays. They've said they had other games to be released this Holiday that they didn't want to talk about yet. Was that just Wii Sports Club? That would hardly make sense. If they did have any ambitious hardware/software ideas to meet those seemingly unrealistic numbers, this is probably the earliest opportunity for them to show it.

It probably depends on a lot of factors like the OS but Nintendo wouldmore than likely wants it to work ingame.

 

[vinnygambini]

They get Marvel if they get Disney. The true master plan.

Yes + Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts property - KH3 Wii U Exclusive confirmed. All according to Iwata's master plan.

Damit: Bel_Air_Jeff

 

[OmahaG8]

Expect disappointment. Anything less, well...

 

[LOLDSFAN]

I'm excited. This eShop update has me hyped up more than anything else. Really want that Miiverse for 3DS. Also can't wait to see more Sonic Lost World.

 

[Nibel]

Seriously, we go through this with EVERY Direct. And afterwards people will be sad because "Nintendo didn't deliver"

These are mostly people who don't give a fuck about Nintendo in the first place

Those small NDs were shit, but the big ones always showed new stuff. And the E3 Direct would have been much better if it wasn't on motherfucking Ustream

 

[Sandfox]

Iwata is going to announce that Nintendo bought Sonic, Mega Man, and Bomberman.

 

[chaosblade]

With PR it's good to make (positive) small things sound big.

Either way Nintendo has a plenty good holiday lineup as it is. Announcing anything else now isn't going to help them. Making sure 2014 (and beyond) has a steady release schedule should be more important than loading this holiday season further.
