Hyrule Warriors Direct (NA & JP) - August 4th @ 11pm EDT / August 5th @ 05:00 CEST

hopefully NicoNico streams has not spoiled everything for this Western Direct

Tecmo Koei has been pushing hard in Japan now let's see if Nintendo will give special LE sets
 
Ghirahim confirmation for Smash PLEASE. Pleaaaaaaase. Please?

Please look forward to it.
 
Yeah, they're following their new policy of doing more game specific Directs and a much fewer amount of general Directs / events. Probably, this month we'll get a Smash Bros. 3DS Direct as well. Then, Bayonetta 2 Direct in early September and, probably, a general Direct in September as well, with new details on 2015 games, and some 3DS/Wii U announcements.
 
On the one hand, fuck yes, Nintendo Direct. Always down.

On the other hand, I wanted a general Direct, but I guess it's too soon after E3 for that?
 
While I'd love to see a more general direct, I'm quite interesting in Hyrule Warriors as well. Hope now that we are out of the E3 season, we'll be seeing more of these soon.

It is not really too soon. I was expecting an August general Direct with a few announcements for the 3DS, since there were essentially nothing announced for the system at E3.

Plus, Smash is coming for the 3DS early September, there needs to be a Direct with Smash content before.
 
Actually I thought it was clear (since after E3, especially after the latest trailer with all the Characters) Ganon and the other Villains were playable anyway?

They were hints about it (= showing their weapon and artwork in the latest trailer) but nothing confirmed.
 
I just want to see Iwata on this Direct. Even if he just appears for 2 seconds doing the "Directly to you" thing. Hope is getting better.
 
Ok, finally got to update the OP with... countdown timers. No Direct thread is complete without a countdown timer, and this one got 3.

Obviously this means we're getting a media blowout for this, a Ganondorf/new Zelda character Smash reveal, and a new trailer for Zelda WiiU!

There's no way I'm wrong! HYPE!
 
Yeah, if thery're gonna announce a LE, it's definitely going to be during that Direct. Think it's pretty much guaranteed, otherwise, there wouldn't be any need for EU specific Direct at a later time.
 
I'll be interested to see whether this follows the pattern that began with the MK8 Direct and continued through Tomodachi Life and E3, by which I mean the retooling of the video presentations as quirky variety shows instead of just straightforward announcements. On the other hand, I've been sold on this game since the Treehouse demonstrations; I don't need to see more advertising.

Place your outside bets on a surprise appearance by a redesigned Ganondorf in Smash. (Though as a typically unannounced unlockable who could just as well be an imitation Captain Falcon for the third time, maybe not.)
 
Nice, I'm hoping for news on what happens when you get it Digitally. I'm kind of Expecting that to be a thing with Nintendo's WiiU games now after the success they had with MK8's promotion.
 
So I can still think of a lot of female characters the game could have, but next to no male characters. Not that it matters because I am going to be playing Sheik all day every day forever.

Still, I guess Groose, Linebeck, Ravio... King of Red Lions? How do you have a talking boat as a character in a Warriors game?
