i think the only legitimate surprise would be if smash bros. really is coming out in the earlier part of the year, signaling other big games for the holiday (or a successor to the wii u.....!)

Even without SSB, they must have other 1-2 games for spring (March to June) besides Mario Kart 8.

 

[Aostia]

Certainly not, especially when all titles are announced to feature Cranky.

I also hope that someone else is wearing an innocuous Metroid accessory.

what about a tie? I'd love a Metroid tie.

Obligatory DQVII post.

Obligatory DQM3DTW post.

 

[Codeblue]

Wait, people actually WANT Wii U's?!?!?!

Spoiler

Some people want to play the better version of Smash.

Edit: Eatchildren is the best poster.

 

[Linkhero1]

They are? Since when?

Since X was cancelled.

Spoiler

 

[Riki]

Cranky in Smash! Cranky in Bayonetta! Cranky in X! Cranky in Cranky's Banana Slama Dance Party!

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Let's hope so. Everything is on the line with this Direct. Go big or go home, Iwata. Year of Cranky!

 

[Terra]

Hoping for Borderlands 2 and Skyrim - Legendary edition with gamepad functionality.
Then I am yooours Nintendo!

 

[Kouriozan]

Also, we didn't get a new Smash reveal since a long time...
Hype x 1000.

lol.

 

[DaBoss]

This is for spring. Feb. isn't spring, it's winter. Though, they might show a little bit of that stuff anyway.

Donkey Kong and Kirby don't have release dates outside of the ones I put there.

 

[Mugiwara]

I'm expecting little because I would think Nintendo would want to have bigger announcements for a January Direct, after all the new Christmas owners of WiiU/3DS can be included

 

[-Horizon-]

I'm not worried because we only got any extra information about Mario Kart and X due to the E3 presentation, so, it's not like Nintendo has been completely open about all their 2014 games while silent about SMT x FE. It still appeared in their release lists too, although never with any date assigned to it. Only Smash has gotten new information aside from E3 videos, and it has been much more low profile than Brawl's pre-release campaign.

I think its still alive and aiming for a (late) 2014 release.

 

[Aostia]

Also, we didn't get a new Smash reveal since a long time...
Hype x 1000.

tomorrow morning during the daily update we'll discover...cranky, of course

 

[zroid]

I've been waiting for this my entire life

 

[Timeaisis]

I'm going to assume we're getting:
- Mario Kart 8 release date
- Some other Wii U release date (Yoshi/Bayo/etc)
- One new Wii U title
- Two new 3DS titles
- Possibly a new Smash reveal

 

[Nibel]

I am rapping the DK Rap right now

 

[megabytecr]

Realistic possibilities
Wii U
DK
MK
Golf in WSC
Maybe:
Bayo 2
SSB info
another HD remake
Miyamoto´s secret IP: no scratch this, forgot it is for casuals

3DS
Kirby
Yoshi´s Island

 

[Frolow]

Awesome news to wake up to.

I'm guessing:
Mario Kart 8
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Yoshi's Epic Yarn
Steel Diver: Sub Wars
GBA/N64 Virtual Console Announcements
Smash Character Reveal

Kirby Triple Deluxe
Mario Golf 3DS
Yoshi's New Island
Bravely Default
Professor Layton 6
Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright

Fantastic.

 

[Malvingt2]

 

[AusRoachman]

Year of cranky will begin
- starcranky
- cranky prime
- super cranky world
- cranky kart
- cranky smash

 

[The perfect Dark]

Dark Souls 2 announcement for WiiU, please.

 

[Hello.]

might b cool. even if no new titles are announced, "spring" gives me hope they'll show more Smash and MK8 footage.

As always, low expectations for myself so I don't get too wrapped up in my would-be disappointment.

 

[JB2448]

I'm glad they decided to do it this week and not on Christmas. That would have gotten weird. I'd like a North American release date for Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Spoiler

with some Super Deluxe fries and a DeDeDe shake and Mother 3 on the GBA Wii U Virtual Console kthxbye

.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Made this for you

Spoiler

EXPECTATIONS HIGH!

Yes! This hasn't been quoted enough.

 

[Linkhero1]

I am rapping the DK Rap right now

It's Year of Cranky not Donkey Kong.

You gotta grab that banjo and show them who's boss.

 

[Majine]

That was actually Cranky? My life has been a lie.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

*camera jostles into Iwata's office, Iwata is busy*

"One moment please. I- huh? Is... is something going on?"

"It's time for the Nintendo Direct Mr. Iwata."

"I... don't recall scheduling one for today. If it's alright, I think I need to make a phone ca-"

*click* "Tell us about Metroid."

"Wwwwwwwe're not making a Me-" *click* "IT'LL BE SUPER GOOD"

 

[Green Yoshi]

Wave Race U and F-Zero 3DS.

Just kidding, Nintendo forgot about these IPs...

 

[IHaveIce]

Infos on X
Metroid reveal
or a new good IP


If not I don't care

 

[Kouichi]

Hype levels at maximum.

 

[-Horizon-]

Dark Souls 2 announcement for WiiU, please.

Dark Souls 2: Get Cranky and Die Edition

 

[SuperSah]

Some people want to play the better version of Smash.

Edit: Eatchildren is the best poster.

Same most will be playing the "inferior" version of Smash Bros.

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Hype levels at maximum.

 

[Tusk]

Donkey Kong and Kirby don't have release dates outside of the ones I put there.

Didn't know that, guess they'll probably give them some release dates then for sure.

 

[Green Yoshi]

That was actually Cranky? My life has been a lie.

Donkey Kong is too gentle to kidnap a woman. ;-)

 

[MetalGuardian]

Updated predictions (Nintendoomed edition!)

- Iwata resigns
- Wii U cancelled
- All previously announced Wii U games are condensed into one final mini-game centric title
- 3DS and 2DS production stopped
- Nintendo 1DS revealed. One screen, runs at one frame per second, priced at $11.99
- Shigeru Miyamoto utters a humbling prayer of sorrow to his ancestors, before committing seppuku with a modded Wii remote
- Bill Trinen torches the treehouse office, while his coworkers look on with tear-streaked faces
- Last shot of the direct pans to Reggie, naked and alone in the remnants of his office. He's caked in feces and muttering incoherently. Yamauchi's ghost begins cursing him from beyond the grave. Reggie curls up into the fetal position with his purple Pikmin plushie, and waits for sweet oblivion to take him home.

The final official six seconds of footage ever released by Nintendo

Spoiler

Now none of us can be disappointed! No matter what happens, it won't be this bad.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm down for the year of Cranky. Couldn't be more disappointing than year of Luigi.

 

[Jaruru]

hype train here we goooooooooooooooooooooo

Wii Sports Club news are welcome

 

[dysonEA]

Maybe a bayo 1 announcement to go along with bayo 2 release date?

 

[GulAtiCa]

Fantastic.

 

[Linkhero1]

I hope they kill off Canky by the end of Tropical Freeze. Get him out of the DK canon already. He's been alive for way too long. He should join Wrinkly.

 

[Mr. Fix]

X would be a lovely Spring-Summer title. Though DQ7/MH4 should suffice.

 

[Berordn]

Same most will be playing the "inferior" version of Smash Bros.

It's far too early to assume that the Smash audience will jump to 3DS instead of just not picking up either version.

 

[davidsaurus]

X would be a lovely Spring-Summer title. Though DQ7/MH4 should suffice.

X and Spring in the same sentence are a no-no. Not a chance.

 

[DaBoss]

 

[onilink88]

Cranky's done a terrible number to you lot. :/

BWAHAHAHA
