There's always some sort of surprise in these Directs. Last time was alttp2, this time will be about something WiiU, I bet on F-Zero. Then, they'll announce GBA VC first titles to be soon available, probably starting with Metroid Fusion to build the right climax for Metroid 5 reveal at E3.
Nope. Do you remember the other times Europe and Japan had specific 3DS Directs, while America had 3DS & Wii U Directs? In the end, they were basically the same, so 3DS Directs, with just some Wii U infos in the American one. This time it's the opposite: it's a Wii U Direct in its core.
at least we'd get guaranteed 60hz in the UK that way
still livid about super metroid. fuck.

Before it derails?p
It's all about the journey. Enjoy it or remove yourself, sir.
Rushing? Jesus wept, Pikmin has been in development for years and years. Retro's last game was 3 years ago, as was the last 3D Mario. Skyward Sword was 2 years ago. What they are doing is the opposite of rushing, they are taking a fucking age to release these games. In terms of AAA console games Nintendo has been AWOL since 2011. If they were rushing Pikmin would have been released months ago.
Guess there was no delay. Nice.
That was...early, compared to the other times!

Remember last Direct when everyone was saying "keep your hype low, nothing new". Nintendo Drops Bombs Every Single Time.

And Pokemon Rumble U for the eshop.
Yeah, it's litterally 11:20PM here. And the longest notice (nearly a whole 24 hours) NCl has given in ages.
Some of the ones last Winter were pretty tame.
Well, given Square Enix's recent comments, they sure as hell won't be doing it. Maybe Nintendo will step up, as they are for BDFF.

I don't mind. Means that even when they underwhelm, there's no big letdown because there isn't enough time to get that hyped.

I dunno, if the timing of this is to shit in Microsoft's cereal, it damn well better be about more than release dates.
On the other hand, I kind of wonder if Nintendo even knows there's a Microsoft conference, much less cares, and this really is just release dates. Which will do nothing to combat their image but at least it will, like, put games out there. For once.
Give me Wonderful 101, godfuckingdamnit.

Lol, I don't understand people who say, "don't expect anything new!" when every single Direct in the last 5 months has had at least one new announcement; some with more than one new announcement. Just because E3 is around the corner? I don't think Nintendo will save a whole lot for E3.
Not expecting megatons tomorrow, it seems Nintendo are differentiating between this Direct and the pre-E3 one.
Lots of Pikmin info, release date for Wonderful 101, Virtual Console discussion and not much else Wii U-related this time.
For 3DS, Mario Golf, Animal Crossing (again), Oracles on VC, bunch of eShop games, "Luigi's Mansion 2, Castlevania and Lego City out now", reminder about Link to the Past 2 and Mario & Luigi.
I think Nintendo would be wise to highlight the amount of Kickstarter titles heading to the eShops, highlighting Indie digital presence.
