"Hello, and welcome to Nintendo Direct. As you may know, Lunar New Year just passed us recently...

*insert five minutes talking about how the new year is symbolic for Nintendo, including some psuedo-philisophical quote Iwata mentions throughout the segment*

"Recently many great titles have come to the 3DS..."

*insert five minutes of discussion about recent 3DS games, and talk about Fire Emblem DLC Japan got six months ago*

"2013 will have many exciting new things that 3DS owners will look forward to..."

*insert several minutes of vaguely discussing future titles without any information, dates, or names*

"Let's look at some of these titles now!"

*Luigi's Mansion 2 trailer*

"I know many of you are excited about Animal Crossing: New Leaf*

*insert several minutes discussing how well it did in Japan, diatribe about the success of eShop*

"I am pleased to announce that Animal Crossing: New Leaf will come to the Americas on December 8, 2013 with Europe receiving it sometime before Summer 2014."

END OF DIRECT

Prove me wrong, Iwata.

 

[Boogybro]

HOW LONG LEFT HOW LONG LEFT HOW LONG LEFT???

 

[Delio]

Sigh I might as well stay up now for this. Im going to be so dead later.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Last Nintendo Direct was on or near bad financial news, right? NPD results are today?

 

[MarkusRJR]

Just charged my XL for the first time in a few weeks (been playing Vita a lot). God damn. The XL is so nice in the hands. If only the 3D wasn't terrible.

Only an hour and thirty-five minutes. Bring over the AC 3DS XL bundle and I will cry in happiness. Okay maybe not but I'll be incredibly happy.

LET'S GO!

I have work at 5. On Valentine's Day :'( So I need this to cheer me up. C'mon Animal Crossing release date!

 

[UncleSporky]

Ah, thought that might have been it. So, either the US one is different from the PAL one, or the Youtube 'leak' didn't cover everything.

EDIT:

Japan: 20 minutes
Europe: 35 minutes
US: 37 minutes

Wait what, the subject line says 9 AM EST, I am in EST and it is 7:27 here.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Length, not time remaining.

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[Qurupeke]

Nintendo Land and NSMBU free DLC. Believe.

 

[UncleSporky]

Length, not time remaining.

Oh sorry, I didn't even look at the previous page. Seemed close enough that it could be a misinterpretation of the start time.

 

[jokkir]

New 3DS revision the 3DS XXXXL to compete with the everyday coffee table.

Believe.

 

[?oe?oe]

That extra 2 minutes on the US stream is The Secret Wii U game.

 

[MetalGuardian]

Animal Crossing release date, will you be my Valentine?

I promise I'll try to love you as hard as the first game in your series

Won't you please take this life-sim deprived heart and show me that there's still magic I can believe in?

Please rescue me soon from my banishment to the pit of hell that is having not New Leaf in my slot ;_;

 

[Velcro Fly]

Not as hyped as I was yesterday.

Think we're going to get trailers for stuff coming out and an AC release date and that's it.

Call me a pessimist but I don't think we're going to get any localization stuff today.

 

[MarkusRJR]

New XL colors is the only answer!

Spoiler

Just the silver/black that's already in Europe and everywhere else, haha.

 

[Wiz]

Will be at work when this begins, hopefully I can stream this on my phone.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

What stream are you guys choosing to watch if you have 1 way?

 

[cw_sasuke]

What stream are you guys choosing to watch if you have 1 way?

PAL and JP - as always

 

[javac]

What stream are you guys choosing to watch if you have 1 way?

Europe, since its more relevant to me.

Spoiler

Also Shibata

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Is Iwata doing NAs too?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Can they finally announce that all new Zelda game now? No, not Majora's Mask.

 

[dc89]

Shame I'm at freaking work

 

[javac]

Is Iwata doing NAs too?

Hopefully Reggie, so we can get some glorious Gifs

 

[FearMyWrench]

"I am pleased to announce that Animal Crossing: New Leaf will come to the Americas on December 8, 2013 with Europe receiving it sometime before Summer 2014."

It's funny because that's almost plausible considering the way New Leaf has been treated over here.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Is Iwata doing NAs too?

There was a screenshot of both Iwata & Reggie, so Iwata will probably talk about a few games.

 

[Ace Harding]

9AM? That's right when I'm walking to work. Anyone been able to stream Nintendo Direct stuff over 3G in the past? Looks like their player supports it...

Totally works fine. Though I prefer when ND is during an acceptable lunch time and not when I am walking in..,

I guess Ill watch the JP one cause thats most likely to get new announcements I guess.

 

[Nothing1016]

I live in California... I need sleep. Luckily I don't have class till 3pm. They better announce something worth my time.

 

[StreetsAhead]

One more hour. Get some hype!

 

[Nosgoroth]

One hour to go. Let's hope I can finish eating with friends before then, or I'll have to ditch them.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I just want my free WII STREET U download today
NOA

 

[Shoogoo]

Okay, getting ready for this. I'll go run for 30 mins, take a shower and watch this from my couch.

 

[jtm33]

The website is a bit confusing for telling me when it starts. They are going off Queensland time or something?

It is starting in an hour yeah?

 

[Prophane33]

Damn my having to go to Russian history class in an hour. I think this is the first ND I'll miss watching live.

Yes. Turned on my Wii U right now.

I'm not so sure this will be the case.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Sylveon was just announced to be the official English name of the new Eevee-lution.

http://youtu.be/wh8oR_IAR6s

Chances of it in the Direct just dropped.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'm not so sure this will be the case.

they want me to pay for it? :O

 

[Hero of Legend]

What was this leak?

Type?

 

[Dmax3901]

After midnight here in Austraziland, how much hype should I be preparing for this on a scale from 'last years Nintendo E3 showing' to 'the last (undeniably bomb-dropping) Nintendo direct'?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Nope.

 

[javac]

I still love the design of that Pokemon, so awesome!

 

[UncleSporky]

Type?

Yeah, really.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Nope.

Yeah, really.

you guys.

 

[mclem]

I'm not going to be able to watch this live. How rapidly after the event do youtube videos appear, and will they be linked in the OP?

Edit: Specifically the EU edition.
