Nintendo Direct 5/17 4PM CEST, 7AM PST, focus on First Party Wii U Summer Titles

I imagine that, simply because they have to, there will be a small Mario-something teaser.

They have to know this is the last opportunity to go in to E3 with any momentum whatsoever.

So this includes titles up until September ? ( I'm not sure when Spring/Summer is in the US)

If so probably wont have Mario 3D or Mario Kart, they have to wait until e3

Remeber those seconds (more like frames) of Zombi U and NSMBU from last year's pre-E3 Direct? I bet it's something like that.
 
Oh wait. I forgot I'm out tomorrow helping a blind man out. Guess I'll have to watch it when I get home.
 
Guys, this will be only about already known titles, don't overhype this. Though a new e-shop game announcement is possible.

Would be nice, but in the interest of not hyping myself I'm going to expect nothing but stuff we already know about. I'd rather be surprised then disappointed of course. That said, they should give us something since it's right before the new Xbox event.
 
An announcement of the Famicom Festival continuing indefinitely would be a great move.

Each month, one VC game is 30 cents for as long as you own a Wii U.

Yes. YES.

But I wonder how this would affect sales

i.e people would off on buying a key VC title in the hopes it reaches 30.cent eventually.
 
Stepping off the hype train for a second, I expect this Direct to talk about release dates and maybe one or two new announcements.
 
It wouldn't be out of the norm for Nintendo to drop some tease, but anybody expecting the focus to be on anything other than the 3DS and Wii U release roster up until the end of September is doomed for disappointment. They're not going to drop "OH BY THE WAY HERE'S POKEMON MMO U, RETRO'S GAME, AND SHENMUE III" in a Direct like this. If you want hype on new shit, wait until E3.

That being said, I really, really need my The Wonderful 101 release date. I'm certain this will deliver a Pikmin 3 PAL date, which is nice. But I really want that TW101.
 
Zelda Wii U? Or at least some footage. Or X information? Only thing I'm really interested in. Come on Nintendo, get me to buy a Wii U.
 
Obviously the Fall/Winter release schedule is more likely to be interesting than the Spring/Summer one.

That said, more updates on upcoming games of any kind are always nice.
 
Meh. We already know about summer Wii U titles, what little there is.

I'll be excited for the next one around E3 though.
