Didn't we just a Nintendo Direct like 3 weeks ago? (even though it was only Wii U focused.)

The power of doom.

 

[Aquamarine]

Didn't we just a Nintendo Direct like 3 weeks ago? (even though it was only Wii U focused.)

We also have a PS4 announcement in 7 days. I'm assuming Nintendo wants to get some more info in before that happens.

 

[Linkhero1]

We did just a Nintendo Direct, but we definitely need more. We don't have release dates and there was supposed to be a third party related direct for Wii U as well.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

I don't really mind. It means I get to wake up, get my coffee, and watch it after it's aired at my own leisure.

Yup, my thoughts exactly. For me, it's been right after I settle into my office around 7:30 am.

a 3rd party dedicated nintendo direct with new reveals by the minute would be EXACTLY what WiiU and Nintendo needs.

 

[DJIzana]

Not a North America focused one. That was for Japan... hoping they'll give us some greatness as well.

 

[MLH]

Maybe NoE will announce an Etrian Odyssey 4 date. Ah, who am I kidding?

Yep hoping for that, also Soul Hackers, even digital only release would be acceptable. Perhaps some Phoenix Wright x Layton news, or Bravely Default. Japan needs to stop hoarding all the good games

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Awww yeahhhh!!!
(Did anyone figure out what the cryptic bananas holding thing actually was meant for?)

They had just finished showing off dk crash course from Nintendo land

 

[vagabondarts]

They had just finished showing off dk crash course from Nintendo land

Oh! I forgot about that. It still doesn't really make sense.

I would be ok with ND just being this.

 

[PhantomR]

Not a North America focused one. That was for Japan... hoping they'll give us some greatness as well.

Well...it was a global direct. Japan-focused Nintendo Directs are done entirely in Japanese. This one was done entirely in English.

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

A Bravely Default announcement would make this a good ND. I hope it doesn't focus solely on what we know is coming...

Not going to get my hopes up. I'll still enjoy just getting new trailers anyway.

 

[zroid]

Ugh, you all are hyping up BDFF too much. Against my better judgment I'm beginning to fall into the trap. Anguish, that's all I'll end up with...

 

[Subtle]

Hopefully this'll lift the spirits up of all those lonely gamers

 

[Roo]

Not going to get my hopes up.

Same here, the last ND was the exception, not the rule. Even some release dates are welcome

 

[MagiusNecros]

BDFF is considered a new IP. So the "call it Final Fantasy" argument doesn't work. And I'm sure trying to use a name of a diluted brand that has been used for name recognition multiple times would truly be a wise decision. Well it isn't. And changing the title removes that clever plot element within the title.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Fucking incredibly hype! Thats all.

 

[KojiKnight]

I have two things to say about that... Seiken Densetsu (Secret of Mana) and SaGa.

 

[MagiusNecros]

You'll need a new suffix then.

FF Braves could work.

Although Square did a great comedy act with FF: All the Bravest

 

[DeuceGamer]

RE: John Harker hint.

I'm betting its South Park. I'm hoping its Watch Dogs.

I'll take either, but won't get my hopes up either.

 

[evilromero]

I would love to see a portable Metroid announced. I haven't bought one game on my 3DS since New Mario 2 in August. At this point, two years into owning a DS, I had a pile of awesome games. More than I knew what to do with.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I really want Bravely Default, even though the title is odd!

Metroid Dread would be cool.

 

[WiiredShawn]

For the pessimistic among you, here's a little something of what to probably expect.

 

[DasMarcos]

I am loving the frequency of these Nintendo Direct presentations. I just love keeping up with Nintendo and their plans so consistently!

I should be able to watch this before class unless it goes over an hour. And they are never that long are they? I think the last one was 36 minutes ish, and that was with all those incredible announcements.

 

[cacildo]

The last Nintendo Direct was too big, i dont they have more huge announcements right now

It seems most gafer dont expect too much this time - and are ok with this (i mean, nobody said "new retro game" yet)

For me the animal crossing release date is enough for freakout.gif... as long as its a really close date

 

[Linkhero1]

Needs more bananas

I will be Metroid Ather F and the baby will be a plot element again.

Have they locked up Sakamoto in the basement yet? If not, I can wait.

I will be Metroid Ather F and the baby will be a plot element again.

:lol

 

[gundalf]

But didn't someone say that Iwata would be featured in the European ND?

No, Shibata will do the Euro ND.

 

[Aostia]

a 3rd party dedicated nintendo direct with new reveals by the minute would be EXACTLY what WiiU and Nintendo needs.

Iwata stated that 3ds news and third parties news would have followed the nintendo first party direct.
tomorrow Ithink that will be the turn of the 3ds, then I think that early march we'll have a third party wiiu one

 

[B-Dubs]

Metroid Dread would be cool.

Oh man don't do this to me. Now if it isn't this I'll be sad. Drop that bomb Iwata!

 

[WiiredShawn]

Needs more bananas

 

[Metroid In A Glass Tube]

COBRAS AREA EVERYWHRE IN VIETNAM! They once took over an entire village and started their own democratic system and voted in the King Cobra as president, which doesn't make sense because kings are part of a Monarchy not a Democracy!

 

[Mpl90]

No, Shibata will do the Euro ND.

Both Shibata and Iwata will be featured in the European Direct.

About JP Directs, I've just watched again the end of the last Japanese Direct, and he nominated both 3DS and (I think) Wii U third party games.

 

[Hattori]

hope it's 3DS miiverse release info

Spoiler

FE waifu screenshots x)

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

You'll need a new suffix then.

Man, that was just fucking cruel.

 

[Drago]

Outstanding

 

[Pachterballs]

EB games pic per the place you go to get nintendo news

embarassing.

That says more about your bad tastes than anything else.

 

[Linkhero1]

LMAO. 10/10

 

[Hattori]

embarassing.

Spoiler

embarrassing

 

[zroid]

Bravo sir

 

[MagiusNecros]

Man, that was just fucking cruel.

So does anyone still think it's a fantastic idea? Besides the ideal optimist Square is looking to suckerpunch?

Oh man don't do this to me. Now if it isn't this I'll be sad. Drop that bomb Iwata!

Well to be fair Metroid Other M was a DREADful experience.

 

[sphinx]

Iwata stated that 3ds news and third parties news would have followed the nintendo first party direct.
tomorrow Ithink that will be the turn of the 3ds, then I think that early march we'll have a third party wiiu one

so we are expecting another batch of 1st party reveals tomorrow? after the last ND we had, that wasn't long ago?

damn panic nintendo sure wants to let us know stuff is coming.

Sony should do the same and announce in advance what they'll have on Vita come Q3/Q4 2013

 

[gundalf]

Both Shibata and Iwata will be featured in the European Direct.

Great, this will give it a nice twist.

About JP Directs, I've just watched again the end of the last Japanese Direct, and he nominated both 3DS and (I think) Wii U third party games.

In the German translated ND i understood, that the 3DS is not ready for the next ND and they will concentrate on 3rd Party WiiU(?) Titles.

edit
Nevermind, the Euro Nintendo Page says now that the morning ND will be 3DS only!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

embarassing.

Whats embarassing?

 

[batbeg]

embarassing.

Yeah, I can't believe that's every single Wii U title for this year either...

 

[boyshine]

Printed after the Rayman delay, does not reflect the Rayman delay?

Rayman is still listed as 28/2 on eShop as well. Old demo is bumped to the top, and tagged as "New".

 

[WiiredShawn]

Whats embarassing?

EB Games' slowness to update the Rayman Legends date, obviously.

 

[ASIS]

So this is what perfection looks like.. huh..
