somebody please explain expand dong meme i just laughed so hard that it hurt

edit: Shenmue 3 exclusively for Wii U would shut gaf down for a year.

 

[KAP151]

My prediction:

It'll be on things like Wii Fit, Party and Sports etc i.e updates to stuff nobody gives 2 shits about.

Some stuff about how Kart and Smash are progressing nicely. Maybe a small clip on each.

More on just how innovative Cranky Kong is.

A Bow.

No sign of:
New games.
Third parties.
A proper account System.
Hope.

 

[Mariolee]

No thanks, that would be a waste of time/money. Lost interest in that game 2 hours in. We need some new titles

What is this bullshit?

 

[Pikma]

Hype train doesn't start till we walk in

 

[Frodo]

What is this bullshit?

I browsed through the menus in The Last of Us. Didn't like it. Want a new game.

 

[Benzychenz]

All I want from this is a SMT4 PAL release date, and I expect nothing but disappointment.

Listen to this man, Shibata! At least an eShop release. It is better than never releasing it at all.

Cut and paste DK game titles and put them on DK's expressive face.

Nobody actually wants Shenmue 3. They are just in love with the idea of wanting Shenmue 3.

 

[brandonh83]

fuck it I'm hyped.

 

[LeleSocho]

What is this bullshit?

The beginning of TTYD is slooooooooooooooooooooow, i can't blame him.

 

[Mysterious]

No thanks, that would be a waste of time/money. Lost interest in that game 2 hours in. We need some new titles

Bye.

 

[Keyouta]

Not getting my hopes up, I expect Donkey Kong and Mario Kart 8. If I'm surprised by any new announcements then great.

 

[Ashodin]

I also agree, TTYD's beginning is agonizingly slow with the port town.

 

[Chake]

How long is it?

 

[GuessMyUserName]

GameCube / N64 Virtual Console let's go

Starting with Smash 64, Mario Kart 64, Melee, and Double Dash all with online play.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Give me Smash. That's all I need.

Go on then, do it.

 

[megabytecr]

I want to be hyped but I can't. Nintendo, please drop the bombs.

Nintendo Direct
Starts
**** Iwata laughs, Directly to you, if you have a Wii U look at your gamepads *****
**** GIF of the GAF Hype Train shows on the gamepad ****
**** Now downloading directly to your Wii Us Metroid Prime 4/Bayo 2 demos

Spoiler

you know it is just WSC Golf

****
**** Iwata: one last thing, shows X, MK and Zelda U new footage ****
**** Iwata: you like it? thats it for now tune in for another Nintendo direct ****

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Hope there some type of reaction to the abysmal sales during the direct. We need more games and new studios making them, Iwata.
Im of the people that dont want him to be fired, because the solution to that is even worse, but I want that he sees the facts of whats really happening and changes the ship direction by himself.

 

[E92 M3]

Fuck this - I won't even bother getting excited about an Advance Wars announcement. Don't want to get my hopes up anymore.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Give me Smash. That's all I need.

Go on then, do it.

Sakurai haven't retweet or make a tweet for Direct.

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

Cut and paste DK game titles and put them on DK's expressive face.

oh i thought dk put his dong in megamans cannon but it turned out to backfire

 

[Kouriozan]

What if...
No Cranky Kong in the Nintendo Direct? :lol

 

[Het_Nkik]

Nobody actually wants Shenmue 3. They are just in love with the idea of wanting Shenmue 3.

Do you write for Wes Anderson?

 

[brandonh83]

Hope there some type of reaction to the abysmal sales during the direct.

Ten minutes of bowing in shame, followed by Cranky Kong. Fin.

 

[Magicpaint]

I hope we get a glimpse of Mario Golf. Hopefully the extended absence/delay means we won't get a dreadfully bare bones experience like the hugely disappointing Mario Tennis Open. Don't fail me again, Camelot.

 

[Snakeyes]

Here you go!

Surely Cranky became big here, I'm beginning to believe in Year of Cranky

Haha, that's amazing. Thanks dude.

 

[Volotaire]

Hype for the Direct! Can't wait for some new footage.

Is anyone up for the challenge of Crankying my avatar?

 

[Ashodin]

Guarantee this phrase to be said "It's fucking Donkey Kong"

 

[73V3N]

Do we have a countdown?

 

[Toxi]

Samus playable on Watch Dogs.

Year of Metroid

LOL they didn't even celebrate Metroid's 25th anniversary.

 

[flatearthpandas]

I want to be blown away. I mean blow my asshole out my ears Nintendo. But I know it'll be the lamest shit I can possibly imagine.

Yeah... yeah...

 

[ShroudOfFate]

I'm not hyped, but I'll watch anyway.

Here you go.

 

[Immaculate]

I didn't read your first post. Please understand.

Spoiler

Let's see if you notice the little detail

At my time to be up to date about Nintendo we read Nintendo Power, we didn't watch that Nintendo Direct thing!

Not sure if it's easily discernible from the background, but here it is.

Cranky Kong me if possible!

 

[Brainiac 8]

Can someone please replace Luigi's face with Cranky's and replace the vacuum with his cane on my avvy?

Thanks in advance!

 

[DICKS AHOY]

This thread encouraged me to momentarily drop Xmas Link in favor of dongs.

also this direct is just going to be fucking donkey kong

Spoiler

and fucking mario kart

 

[codemonkey]

Guys, I think I know what the problem is. We think the reason for our disappointment is all the hype right before a Nintendo Direct. And we think too much hype means impossible expectations. Now everyone's all scared of hoping, of hyping, because they think they'll be let down anyway.
I have a different theory. There's not enough hype. Think about it, there's no other way: Someone at Nintendo is reading all of this, and again and again they're disappointed with the level of hype, with our pitiful ideas, so they continuously let us down as a way of punishing us. Simply because we don't deserve it. They're trying to make us understand that. The appearance at the VGX was their most drastic measure yet, and it served to wake us up. And in their immense kindness, they still decided to give us Cranky Kong.

I say yes to believe. I say yes to hype. There's still hope, some of you here have the right idea, but the collective hype still isn't big enough. We can do better than this. No, we must. Wii U's fate depends on it. We know the alternative all too well: Nintendo will go 3rd party, Pokémon Snap will be released on Android platforms only, and the Zelda franchise will be bought by EA to serve as a cornerstone in their new and upcoming wave of full-priced f2p games featuring excessive microtransactions.

Yet not all is lost. If there's enough hype, we'll be rewarded. The games will come. I can feel it.

 

[Immaculate]

so it starts an hour earlier than usual?if so YES


the last time it started at 8am CST good shit happened

I think that's just because of day light savings time or whatever.

 

[RPGamer92]

I'd like to Crankify my avatar as well if someone has the time.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I swear you people are hyping it to extreme levels.

 

[BY2K]

I swear you people are hyping it to extreme levels.

Because Nintendo.

 

[Ashodin]

They do this every time. I'm just surfing the hype here lol.

 

[Entryhazard]

I'm going to bed so I won't until tomorrow. In the case someone else wants to I'd suggest to turn Raiden's Katana into Cranky's Cane

 

[Neiteio]

Hoping for a WiiU remake of Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em.

 

[chadboban]

First time in a Nintendo Direct thread huh?

 

[Immaculate]
