:::waiting for '3DS Folders' trailer:::

 

[Smiles and Cries]

is this a Kid Icarus update on this video that no one is talking about?

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Idk I was being sarcastic.

Oh, haha. My bad.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Yeah, well, Nintendo did touch screens before Apple. So there.

 

[Gameboy415]

I'm psyched for the Kirby Anniversary stuff and folders on 3DS!
If I can toss all of the game trailers I've downloaded into a folder, I'll be ecstatic.

I wasn't the biggest fan of NSMB on DS, but I loved NSMBWii so I'm cautiously optimistic for NSMB2.
Definitely excited to see the Raccoon cap/tail make a comeback though!!

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Still waiting for the elusive FE NA release date tweet...

 

[ColtraineGF]

Can't wait to organize games n' stuff.

...

Why am I hype over folders

 

[Javier]

Why do they show Kid Icarus so much? Is it getting an update?

 

[SmithnCo]

They should put Kirby Air Ride in the anniversary thing if they can, I think you can get most of the other big ones by download already anyway.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Why do they show Kid Icarus so much? Is it getting an update?

No one really knows...

Yes!

 

[Shockamoto]

and, I'm, spent!

 

[Busaiku]

No more trailers?

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Why do they show Kid Icarus so much? Is it getting an update?

I'm fairly sure it's getting a patch to make the controls more customizable...I think.

 

[ASTROID2]

So is there like some Kid Icarus update?

 

[Levyne]

Looks like the show's over

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

I was think worst Nintendo Direct so far until NSMB2 screen. Pity it has the same boring artstyle, but I love 2D Mario.

 

[rouken]

wow NSMB2 on August?!

which means there's more bombs to be dropped at E3.

 

[Edag Plata]

Well, the NoA Twitter mentions NSMB2 for August too, so it looks like its not just Japan.

 

[sixclaws]

I'm fairly sure it's getting a patch to make the controls more customizable.

No everything they showed is already in the game.

He translated the entire thing live. (it's in the OP)

 

[Kangi]

There is absolutely no reason it wouldn't leave Japan.

 

[TheCongressman1]

NSMB2 looks pretty bad. It will be fun, but it doesn't look pretty. Look at those spider webs just floating there. Ah man...

The backgrounds look good, but the foreground tile art still looks like plastic crap.

 

[NeonZ]

I don't understand these Kid Icarus videos...is it a patch or something?

At the very least, they clearly show one of the flying levels getting a speed increase and they seemed to say that some of the sensitivity/speed settings were changed. Some of the stuff they showed there was already in the game though, so the American version might already have been somewhat patched... or they just use the opportunity to promote the game more.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Rating of this Nintendo Direct on NND:
Very good 81.2%
Good 15.2%
Average 1.5%
Poor 2.1%

Excellent, excellent.

 

[Shockamoto]

The Kid Icarus videos were describing gameplay tips. Check out Cheesemeister's twitter.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

<-- Yeah, had to change the avatar for that. Was too awesome not to.

NSMB2 and Roy DLC and folders coming so soon makes me happy.

 

[billy beane]

Well, the NoA Twitter mentions NSMB2 for August too, so it looks like its not just Japan.

Mario games usually come out at the same time in all regions. Some actually come out first in North America, like Galaxy 2.

 

[Zee-Row]

I love Nintendo Direct but i hate it at the same time since its taking all my E3 hype away!

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

No everything they showed is already in the game.

Oh, really? I guess they still aren't entirely happy with the games sales I guess.

 

[Busaiku]

No everything they showed is already in the game.

They're showing to raise awareness of the game and what you can do in it.
Cause, clearly, people don't know about the customization.

 

[botty]

From NOA Twitter.

The next million seller.

 

[Agent Unknown]

Very happy NSMB2 is being released in August. Will be a great summer game. I was worried they'd save it for November which wouldn't have been good for Wii U launch (and NSMB Mii).

Raccoon Suit in another 2D Mario. Expected, but nice.

Exactly, it was a power up that wasn't used for over 20 years until 3DLand, the more Racoon Mario the better I say.

 

[joedick]

If NSMB is in August, I wonder what the 3DS will have for Christmas....

I guess Animal Crossing will be their big Q4 game

 

[Inferno313]

Yes, it's a path. Speeding up one of the flying levels and changing some of the sensitivity/speed settings at least. Some of the stuff they showed there was already in the game though, so the American version might already have been somewhat patched.

Are you just inferring that from the video? Everything in that video was already in the game.

 

[Data West]

Any Animal Crossing news? :[

 

[NeonZ]

They're showing to raise awareness of the game and what you can do in it.

Wait, what about the speed increase in the video comparison? They showed the same level but with the background clouds flying at different speeds. Was that already in the harder difficulties or something?

I'd be very surprised if New Super Mario Bros. Mii is actually coming out. Would they really release two NSMB games within a year?

 

[botty]

The more they keep Luigi's Mansion 2 hidden, the more I believe a revision is near.

 

[sixclaws]

Showing the different speed in turning when firing or not firing and when the stylus sensitivity is changed.

 

[Starphoenix]

If New Super Mario Bros 2 is coming out for the 3DS in August, than what is the Wii U Mario game going to be?

 

[GCX]

Any Animal Crossing news? :[

It was shown via few new screenshots and TBA 2012 text.

 

[Inferno313]

Any Animal Crossing news? :[

There were some new screens and another re-confirmation of 2012, but that's it.

 

[Data West]

It was shown via few new screenshots and TBA 2012 text.

Well, as long as they're still saying 2012. Fire Emblem NoA news?

 

[11redder]

Xerox created the desktop and folders. Apple and Microsoft copied them.

Yeah, but Apple stole them first, so they were the real innovators

 

[NeonZ]

Showing the different speed in turning when firing or not firing and when the stylus sensitivity is changed.

No, I'm not talking about the sensitivity settings/ground gameplay. I mean when they showed the flying level in two windows. In one of them the background was moving faster.

 

[zroid]

I am actually pretty psyched for the Kirby collection. Almost all of the SNES games passed me by, somehow. I don't own a one and only played a couple while visiting friends.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

They should put Kirby Air Ride in the anniversary thing if they can, I think you can get most of the other big ones by download already anyway.

City Trial is Sakurai's masterpiece.

 

[lednerg]

Read the OP, guys. It's all there.

 

[sixclaws]

Well, as long as they're still saying 2012. Fire Emblem NoA news?

Nope no news on a localization.

I love Nintendo Direct but i hate it at the same time since its taking all my E3 hype away!

E3 hype was getting out of hand. We needed this to calm things down fr a while.
