OMG OMG OMG

Ridley confirmed for smash.

Get hype.

 

[Diprosalic]

the only thing i want is some new Pokemanz.

 

[wild wild rice]

Just tell us about the damn amiibos , I want cloud X Bayonetta
I bet it'll be a 3 pack to just finish off the smash series , nobody wants Corrin

I also predict GameStop X Amazon opening up NES classic pre orders on GameStop , Amazon and Best Buy today


3DS gets N64 VC by a cart that adds Nintendo 64 support on the 3DS, must have it inserted to play N64 VC, the power of the cartridge
My dumbass prediction of the morning

Oh yeah, the Bayonetta amiibo...what are they waiting for?

Perhaps...

an announcement...

of the THIRD AND FINAL CLIMAX

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I've found the theme song for the direct

Reggie starts the video dancing to this. The whole Direct is edited by Tim and Eric.

"The 3DS... What a concept."
"You know the 3DS is a bit like the human hand. You've got Graumann's Center right here, then you've have Undiscovered Worlds and Sector 8. And up here it's Tittleman's Crest. So you can kind of picture that it's a little bit like a leaf, or... it's not a bowl!"

Colosseum and XD had godlike music

 

[Fireblend]

Just gimme Picross 3D Nintendo. It can't be that hard to translate a bunch of menu buttons and call it a day. Heck, distribute it in Japanese for all I care, I'll figure them out myself.

 

[Volotaire]

I really liked the jingle for the E3 coverage this year

Hopefully that will be an option soon.

 

[GasProblem]

Woop woop, an hour left!

I'm excited, even though it's just 3DS. I think I'm just happy we're finally getting a Direct and that hopefully this is the month they'll say something about the NX.

We're probably gonna have to wait until March for those 3 at this point (NX port & whatnot), though I'd love to be wrong.

Spoiler

Nintendo pls

 

[Devilgunman]

Should we be expecting Monster Hunter XG on the Japanese stream?

If the new MH is coming to 3DS, no way they won't announce it in this Direct.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Is that from his dancing Yokai-Watch sketch? This deserve way more use. His face his priceless.

Yeah it's from the yokai watch sketches. They really are a gif goldmine:

1 hour

 

[purseowner]

Maybe Europe will get Devilish Brain Training?

Spoiler

No.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Masuda retweeted the Japanese direct!

Pokemon news incoming!

 

[Jaloux Saboteur]

I'm ready for the hype train!

 

[Fevaweva]

I was messing about in the Twitch chat with emotes and it turns out you can get banned for using the ANELE emote. Great.

[DrForester]

Do we know how long this Direct is supposed to be?

 

[Dy_Cy]

I'm ready for the hype train!

Poor Samus lol.

 

[maxcriden]

Per L~A in the NintenDownloads thread, there is no PR this morning, which means a surprise release is likely.

BOXBOXBOXBOY, surely. Or Mother 3.

Or my dream Nabbit stealth eShop minigame using the Capt. Toad engine. But I guess this is a 3DS-centric Direct, maybe they will use the Pushmo engine.

I never knew I wanted this. Damn you.

That's a very odd way for a marriage proposal but Ja, ich will.

Yo, your Nabbit dream game sounds awesome. Nabbit was the best thing about NSMBU.

 

[Oregano]

Do we know how long it's going to be yet?

Would help me plan my lunch hour!

Ash Greninja please!

 

[spekkeh]

I'm ready for the hype train!

I'll only allow Sonic because it kind of looks like he's going to end up under the train.

 

[Neoxon]

Looks like I'm gonna miss the Direct.

Damn you, Calculus!

 

[Fevaweva]

Wait I am confused, the OP says its at 2pm GMT time. But it is 2pm now and its still in 50 mins? What the hell is going on?

Join me in Nabbit avatar land while we wait for this to become a reality. The cute dog and grains of Zizania rice will understand.

Sorry folks, this is now officially a Nabbit Direct.

 

[butman]

Have they ever announce a NEW game on a 3DS direct?

 

[purseowner]

Wait I am confused, the OP says its at 2pm GMT time. But it is 2pm now and its still in 50 mins? What the hell is going on?

We're in BST.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Wait I am confused, the OP says its at 2pm GMT time. But it is 2pm now and its still in 50 mins? What the hell is going on?

it's 1:12 pm GMT, 2:12pm BST right now

 

[Volotaire]

Are you talking from a UK perspective? We are in BST now, not GMT, so the time is correct in GMT. GMT is 1 hour behind BST, which is 2PM.

 

[YAWN]

Well Junichi Masuda just retweeted the Direct announcement. Take from that what you will

Awesome.

For predictions I'd guess Rockruff's evolution secret being shown due to the upcoming Coro Coro, and maybe the starters second evos. If the secret is linked to them all, I'm guessing they'll show them all together.

Hopefully It'll put the final starter leak concepts to bed, whether they're real or fake. I have a feeling it's gonna cause even more of a stir up though. Despite loving Popplio, yet disliking it's supposed final evo, I've taken a liking to Litten's recently, so either way I'm hyped.

 

[Rösti]

Do we know how long this Direct is supposed to be?

Not yet, but we should know soon. The Japanese stream will open 06.30 (JST) and start 07.00.

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

46 minutes to go! (I think)

 

[purseowner]

If this gets announced, I will change my avatar to our true saviour, Nabbit.

Spoiler

But also give us Captain Rainbow and more Birdo games please.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

It'd be funny if it had been going for 15 minutes now and none of us noticed

 

[cireza]

I'm ready for the hype train!

Love the expressions on their faces lol.

 

[Brqan]

Ash Greninja please!

Something something Ash lost the league don't care anymore.

Spoiler

Need my shounen frog!

 

[Calm Mind]

I'm expecting a preview of Nindies at Night and PAX tbh.

 

[The Giant]

I'm ready for the hype train!

Haha, love Reggie's face.

 

[Inferno313]

Normally, I wouldn't watch one of these things while I'm working, but fuck it. I live in Tampa, we're getting a tropical storm today, and I work for the only University in the area that didn't close and still made it's employees come in.

 

[takriel]

I'm ready for the hype train!

y is metroid crying

 

[Volotaire]

I'm just looking forward to another Direct again, even if it's dissapointing. They are so rare this year.

 

[Kouriozan]

Almost missed it >.<
Well then, now I'm ready!

 

[wild wild rice]

It'd be funny if it had been going for 15 minutes now and none of us noticed

please be excited

 

[SuperSah]

It would be nice to see a new Mario game, be it Galaxy or 3D Land 2. 3DS deserves at least one more full blown Mario game.

NOT A 2D MARIO BROS THO

 

[Craig Majaski]

Every Thursday morning Nintendo issues a press release for the eShop titles coming out for the week. Without fail I usually have it by now. It's mysteriously missing this morning.

Perhaps it's being held back for an announcement in today's Direct? Dare I say Mother 3?
