Return of the Reggie avatars?

It's Iwata though...

 

[vareon]

Last Nintendo Direct, we get details of Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem, and the only new game teased is Project X Zone. I kinda forgot the rest.

I expect some details about Pokemon Black & White 2...but I can't think of any upcoming first party games.

 

[botty]

FF Dissidia?

I was just thinking that, haha. I liked the first dissidia... Kid Icarus kinda reminds me of it in motion. Square Enix is definitely finding some ground on 3DS, so it is a possibility.

 

[StreetsAhead]

What did they announce last time?

Mario Tennis release date, Capcom/Sega/Namco Project (no details), Demon Training/Brain Training, Etrian Odyssey 'trailer' (although that was revealed slightly prior), we got a lot of info on online/coop modes in KI, and that's just off the top of my head.

Forgot:
Game Gear VC
Rolling Western Surprise Release!

We generally also get new demos or trailers out of them for announced titles.

 

[lordfroakie]

What series are available for Nintendo to take from the PSP camp?

FF Dissidia, PSP, that namco MonHun clone, FF type 0

 

[Fantastical]

Anything less than a full Wii U reveal and I'll be disappointed.

Spoiler

I hope they announce some eShop games!

 

[Javier]

I'll predict the 3rd batch of StreetPass Mii Plaza Puzzles.

 

[Kangi]

It's Iwata though...

Irrelevant.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I'll predict the 3rd batch of StreetPass Mii Plaza Puzzles.

KI Puzzle proves they don't need to do them in batches. Just one at a time, whenever they want.

 

[goomba]

They wont blow their load regarding Wii-U they need that juice to win e3

 

[MasterSheen]

Expect nothing big.

Why wouldn't they just wait until E3?

E3 is more for western announcements and release dates. This will be for Japan.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

I expect nothing short of Mother 3 rebirth and a Retro made open world Mach Rider.

 

[GCX]

Just remember people, the purpose of Nintendo Direct is to show people what's coming out for Nintendo systems during the next few months.

 

[DragonKnight]

Then please for the love of God be pokemon info

 

[TheUnknownForce]

Just remember people, the purpose of Nintendo Direct is to show people what's coming out for Nintendo systems during the next few months.

April, May, and a hint of June then.

So Mario Tennis Open, Project Zero 2, and Pokemon B+W 2. Perhaps logos for third party releases and an announcement or two for eShop.

And maybe new firmware stuff, but that won't be released until E3.

 

[axisofweevils]

And there'll probably be an NoA and an NoE broadcast soon-ish too?

 

[botty]

Then please for the love of God be pokemon info

Doesn't Nintendo usually let GF/PC do their own thing with showing off the mainline Pokemon games?

I don't even recall Pokemon having a big presence at e3.

 

[Anth0ny]

There was a Nintendo Direct on the 14th about Korea getting the 3DS finally or something

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjGm...DvjVQa1PpcFPBDioW9iDNPdm5-ANJPdmI67g9-Pc9ugw=

I thought I had somehow missed it but glad to know there is another on the 20th

He can speak Korean too?

Legend.

 

[@MUWANdo]

And there'll probably be an NoA and an NoE broadcast soon-ish too?

Yup. The last EU broadcast was just the JP broadcast with subs, and the NA one was a short thing with the Treehouse guys looking at a few games.

 

[Medalion]

Sounded like he was reading it phonetically off a teleprompter

 

[DragonKnight]

Ssshhhhhhhhhhh

 

[ugoo18]

Someone please add me to this

 

[Lich_King]

Why am I so hyped?

 

[Jinfash]

I expect them to announce the exclusivity of Soul Sacrifice. That's right, they're nipping buds and not taking chances.

 

[evilromero]

Is there any reason NOT to get excited?

 

[Luigiv]

Why do they wait until the last minute to announce these?

Because they're not exactly a huge deal. It's better for GAF sanity this way.

 

[Conrad Link]

I'M EXPECTING LOCALISED MONSTER HUNTER NEWS!

 

[emb]

It's Iwata though...

Done.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Can't wait!! Thanks OP!

 

[Hasemo]

Expecting Bravely Default release date announcement.

 

[Nekki]

Considering there's been one in Japan roughly every two months...most people expected one this month.

Actually people believed otherwise since E3 is so close by... but who cares about that, bring the goods Nintendo!!!!

 

[Goody]

Wow, these just kind of pop out of nowhere, don't they?

Which is good. Less time to build unreasonable hype.

 

[BD1]

I think he'll probably spend a lot of time hyping Fire Emblem.

 

[pulga]

Someone remind me to buy moisturizer and lots of kleenex tomorrow.


HYYYYYYYYYPEEEEEEEE

 

[Demon Lizardman]

project x zone trailer?

 

[thebeeks]

I'm looking forward to the crazy cartoons that air after the Nintendo stuff.

I'm hoping we get some more Game Center CX Virtual Console shorts.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Is there any reason NOT to get excited?

I just can't wait to see his hair again.

 

[Adr1an]

Should be fun tomorrow to see what gets announced

 

[Bullza2o]

Whoa did not expect this. I was thinking it would be 4/26 during the investor's meeting, but I guess more will be announced then.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Expecting Bravely Default release date announcement.

Would like this.

project x zone trailer?

Am expecting this.

 

[pargonta]

damn, i have to cancel all my important friday night plans..

...

edit: also.. this does seem a good time to announce something to undercut e3 chaos.. the renaming perhaps.

 

[Hours Left]

Hurray?

 

[GCX]

I wonder where Iwata will be this time.

 

[Brazil]

project x zone trailer?

Definitely, yeah. Namco Bandai did promise that the trailer would be shown before the end of April.

 

[AniHawk]

my guess is that they'll announce a sequel to twilight princess that takes place in the twilight realm by retro, but it'll be a wii-only game and release in 2013 for some reason.

 

[davonaytor]

Fuck. Yes. I love these.

Wait, are these prerecorded, or live streamed?

 

[Oni Link 666]

I'm hoping to get release dates for Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 2, and Paper Mario. Maybe we could get to see the new 3DS Mario too. I really doubt we'll see anything about Wii U until E3.

 

[Kazerei]

Dragon Quest X information incoming?

 

[GCX]

Fuck. Yes. I love these.

Wait, are these prerecorded, or live streamed?

Pre-recorded.

 

[transience]

Man, I love how these things just get randomly announced 24 hours before they happen. Props to Nintendo for not leading people on a string for weeks with announcements of announcements of announcements.
