Nintendo Direct coming November 12 [Over]

Yeah, this Direct certainly made up for the lackluster E3 Direct, if only for Dragon Quest VII and VIII. I've waited so long for those to be localized.
 
I truly do not get Nintendo fans hyped for any of this. The millionth Mario and Luigi game, now with PAPER MARIO too..!...!.... Starfox looks awful, and I mean in every sense. Like a sequel to Starfox designed like the old games, very little looks up to date, and graphically it looks like a Gamecube game.

Fire Emblem... buy three slightly different versions of the same game and play it over and over and over (something Nintendo fans are masters of it seems since every game I'm seeing is a remake, a classic port, or the 7th title in some long running franchise. Many of them 7th titles in off-shoot franchises of even older franchises)...

Fuck me.

Take the hate outta here and let us enjoy this. You're not obligated to get it.
 
Bad:
- No Rhythm Heaven
- Jap Stream better as always (Q looked like WarioWare kinda, MonHun X and Culdcept)
- Gold Megaman, not Blue Gold Megaman
- Mention of Metroid fans in Xeno X
- No Picross 3D 2

Good:
- No Metroid Fed Force
- Cloud
- Linkle
- Starfox looking better
- DQ 7 and 8
- Pokemon Picross
- Linkle
- No Metroid Fed Focre
- TP HD
- FF Explorers

Here is how I judge these type of things.

Were there things I will/might buy?

Yes? Then it was good.

It lacked any OMG I NEED DISSSS type stuff but for what it was and considering Nintendo is in transition mode..it was a solid direct with a bunch of games I will probably buy.

Cloud is hype tho. Then again more sword dudes with the same FS but then again Cloud..and all the FF music that will come with him hopefully.

Smash Direct next Month is pretty hype too
 
Seriously, this was an AWESOME direct.

-TPHD, exactly as I expected it. No incredible upgrades but worth buying it again, DAT WOLF though, DAY 1.
-DQ games coming over!!!
-STARFOX seem to look better, let's see.
and all those fucking bundles!!! I'll have to buy them all

But those 10 SECONDS of ZELDA WII U, OMG!
 
Lol you know it was a pretty decent bomb that got dropped when gaf shuts down for a few moments. Good on Nintendo for actually keeping it secret
 
This direct was fantastic for me. The 3DS is going to continue getting a workout in 2016... love me some good RPG's.

That Cloud announcement... fucking EPIC! I must of said Holy fuck a dozen times during the trailer. I need that ASAP.

what just happened?
Cloud in smash?

but Final fantasy 7 has never been on a nintendo console, Final Fantasy 7 was until recently Playstation and PC only (now smart phone)

what does this mean?

i
What?

do i dare to think it could mean FF7 remake....is multiplatform? including a nintendo platform? (NX)

never in a million years would i guess Cloud in Smash, now i'm all over the place thinking hat else would i never guess could happen?
 
Ya know even though there is a bunch of nintendo characters missing id like to see in smash including wolf as a vet and yeah there is another anime swordsman in the cast, not to mention the fact ive never played FF7 and really dont care about FF in general.

The truth is I cant even be mad right now Cloud is somehow is smash brothers and Im baffled. Im glad he is in, the amount of people that I know who are happy from this is amazing and it Im glad as a result.
 
Let this sink in for a moment

Nintendo had an easier time getting Cloud Strife in Smash Bros than Sony did for Playstation All-Stars

Well. One is a massive and perpetual success for 15 years whereas the other was just a copycat. Makes sense they stuck with pedigree.
 
That was pretty terrible. TPHD looks bad, there weren't any good announcements, and the Smash character was Cloud.

NX confirmed for 2016 with Zelda U though, which is nice to know.

I think the ff7 remake was billed as "first on playstation" from day 1. i've just assumed it meant the xbone version would take an extra 6 or 12 months to come out. maybe this means an nx version is now on the table too.
 
My reaction hightlights

Twilight Princess HD: Meh.
Zelda 2016: OMG. Link could still pass for female under that hood and oh that's a long sword!
First mention of Pokemon: Not Pokemon Go :(
Splatoon updates: Still the coolest and probably best game I never played.
Final Fantasy explorer: Second game that that fits my want for a cooperative rpg
Hyrule Warriors Legends: Finally, yes Linkell! Definitely buying. And those double crossbows, so so cool!
Pokemon red/blue/yellow: Yay that's something, I'm on the fence as I really want remakes, but if it lets you transfer your Pokemon to ORAS I will be fully on board.
Smash: That is not an Inkling or Impa :(
 
Cloud coming to Smash is like a penquin on the subway

It makes no sense, will be extremely popular on social media, but thankfully I can ignore it because no one I know cares about penguins or subways
 
That was the best Nintendo Direct in a very long time. The absence of Rhythm Heaven was the only disappointment but it could still be announced next year.
 
Meh who cares about Cloud.

The worrisome thing is that I haven'T seen Yo-kai watch for Europe, not even on the 2016 segment.
Now that's shitty.
 
where can i see a video of the direct?
