Liveblog thread for 3DS new Nintendo IP announcement (Code Name STEAM)

Why are people so convinced it's Metroid? On 3DS, of all things?

Going to agree that it's the Zelda remake. Loads of hints have been dropped for that one.

90 minute round-table kind off.. sort of... means the developer has to explain things about a game for 90 minutes. You really think that makes sense for a port?
 
You think Nintendo makes that distinction?
This. It's a new product for them to sell, just as a blu-ray release of an old movie would be a "new product."

Although, if it's something we'd been really wanting anyway or along those lines that can be almost as good or better. And it would fit with SE nonchalantly announcing Type-0 HD.
 
I'm surprised no one has considered that it could be an entirely new IP.. cause that is the most likely thing it could be other than Metroid.
 
If it's Metroid, Nintendo will actually see some money from me in 2014. As it stands, nothing I want to spend on is announced.
 
new content and features

done

The game was originally supposed to have a 7 day cycle I believe, but that was too ambitious for the N64 hardware and the constraints of the development cycle. (Or maybe it was 5 days, I don't remember)
 
I wonder if this is actually a 3DS showcase, 90 minutes seems really long for any one game.
I agree. Did they actually say it was 3DS-focused? For that amount of time it could be a hardware announcement.
Edit: oh, right, the big honking pic of JS' tweet.

I'm going with Metroid. Then a hardware tease.
 
Mother trilogy

During his post-event IGN appearance, Reggie said both "well, I WILL be wearing another Samus pin tomorrow night!," and "Look, I'm not going to give you guys another announcement here on your show after Devil's Third" when asked if the Mother 3 reference during the Direct was a hint at an upcoming Mother 3 release (Since both Star Fox and Mario mentioned that they wanted games during the Robot Chicken segments and then got them).
 
I think it might be Mother 3.

During their Robot Chicken segments today, they had a "fan" ask about a new Star Fox, which we know is coming. They also had a fan ask about Mother 3. Would make sense.
 
If it isn't Majora's Mask, I'm gonna lose my fucking mind. I swear on everything I hold dear in this world.

NINTENDO!!!!! You motherfuckers done messed it all up earlier. You had over 200K people watching your Smash tourney. Everyone was happy, everyone was hyped, everyone was excited and in a great mood. That would have been the prefect time to announce anything, especially anything Smash or Zelda related. But no, you just left our dicks just sitting there. Hard as fuck, throbbing and ready to go. But no. Big ole NOPE. No pussy, no action, not even a lick. I mean...REALLY!?!?!

I'm serious. I will be royally pissed if Nintendo doesn't have something big (read: Majora's fucking Mask) planned for tomorrow. They do a lot of things right but still manage to do some thoroughly, stupid, inept bullshit.

Nintendo, don't do it. Metroid please and thank you!!!!!!

This. I also noticed those were the only two games the fan asked for, and Star Fox has already been addressed.
 
Oh sweet jesus let it NOT be Metroid because that would mean a console one won't be coming for a looooong time.
 
I'm surprised no one has considered that it could be an entirely new IP.. cause that is the most likely thing it could be other than Metroid.

Just to be clear, you say things you liked today but the release date isn't until 2015, right? Because outside of Metroid I'm not sure what else on the Nintendo Wishlist WASN'T mentioned today... Kirby, Yoshi, Toad(!!), three brand-new IPs, Star Fox, Mario Party, Zelda, X, Bayonetta... all I can think of that's missing is F-Zero, but what with Mario Kart such a dominant and all-consumer racer I'm not sure F-Zero is making a come back..
 
I'm always hoping for a new Advance Wars game but a new 2D Metroid comes right after that.

It's probably Majora's Mask 3D though.

That's what I'm guessing.

Good point. But I'm hoping it's still fully 3D environments. I of course love Super Metroid, but I want more fully explorable environments.
