There's some hope for new WiiU software in this thread :/

It's not irrational hope. Nintendo often says that a Direct will focus on one platform, but then throws in news for the other platform.

Shit, I forgot about Flipnote! Surely Flipnote. But wait... wasn't Flipnote one of the things that had its online shut down cos of inappropriate image sharing?

They only shut down the "Friends" side of it where you could exchange Animations with people on your Friends List.

There isn't a worse combination for hype than 3DS+NA/EU+Next Quarter Games. Oh well.

This is actually the perfect storm of hype for me. I literally cannot get more hyped.

 

[R.I.P]

I'll be content as long as we euro plebs get a SMT IV release date for Q1 2014, everything else will be icing on the cake.

 

[Not]

I am in anti-hype mode. I felt burned the last two times I thought they were going to announce that Flipnote is coming out, only to never hear about it ever again.

My hype these last few years is constantly proven to be unjustified. I really thought they were gonna make a Zelda-themed direct last month with WWHD, ALBW, and ZwiiU. Would've been perfect. I now think there's zero chance we'll get console Zelda news until E3 as usual, for some awful reason. If there's any precedent, the E3 2014 direct will have a minute-long trailer for a cartoony Wii U Zelda, thirty minutes of Wii Party U2 (

Spoiler

featuring Bono, of course)

and the "shocking" reveal you can use your Mii in Smash Bros. The old days of through-the-roof Nintendo hype died with the Gamecube. I want to be wrong about this, but I swear to God I'm always so, so, so right. Settle in for some boring NoA 3DS tidbits, gents.

And I swear, if I see Reggie Fils-Aime trumpet that PR-slathered bull about "tons of important, hardcore games this season" when all he means is Mario 3D World and Mario Party Island Tour, I'm gonna project my astral form into Geoff Keighley and punch that smug bastard mid-interview.

 

[-Horizon-]

Seriously, all I need is the collector's edition announced for NA and this Direct will be a success in my books.

Wii Party U2 (

No srsly Shibata

Europe got SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked, Soul Hackers, Etrian Odyssey IV and Milenium Girl got confirmed. We need that SMT IV, stat!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Good more details about Bravely Default...oh wait! we're getting this year!

MUAHAHAHA

Spoiler

MUAHAHA

 

[Exile20]

Did Nintendo not get the memo about which one of their products is doing horribly?

 

[ffdgh]

I would love to see some new mk8 gameplay.

Calling it a 3DS Direct and have it be all about the Wii U sounds like a pretty legit strategy to me.

 

[Tokieda]

fixed.

Of course, can't believe I missed that

Spoiler

I'm a huge U2 fan

On topic though, if WiiU is a no-show tomorrow it probably means they have a WiiU focused direct coming up in December or January. I can wait that long.

 

[DrWong]

Makes perfect sense.

 

[Zoon]

Guys calm down, it's a 3DS FOCUSED direct which means that there will also be some info on wiiU games.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Of course, can't believe I missed that

Spoiler

I'm a huge U2 fan

heh don't worry

Spoiler

I like the Johnny Cash version better

@ Nintendo: I'm still waiting for Elite Beat Agents U

 

[Bill Rizer]

They will announce: register Zelda ALBW and get Zelda ALTTP on WiiU.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Man 3DS has been on fire already. Hyped!

 

[Clov]

I'm certain we'll get a North American release date for Bravely Default for this one, which I'm fine with. What I'm hoping for is at least a little info on Layton Vs Ace Attorney, and maybe some surprise localization announcements.

 

[Lio]

Monster Hunter 4 and thank you very much!

 

[Mellahan]

W-white 3DS XL for NA? Please?

 

[Myriadis]

I don't think you understand what a best case scenario is.

That's more an unrealistic scenario. Plus I assume that you're secretly already excepting this stuff or something close to it considering that you thoroughly thought about it.
Just don't overreact when it didn't meet your exceptations.

 

[Fritz]

With Bravely Default releasing so soon I am completely content and happy with my 3DS. So no thanks Nintendo.

Funny thing is that I was pretty sure that we are getting Nintendo Direct for 2014 titles and newcomers for smash 4 next month.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Maybe now we'll finally get our fucking second Pokemon character for Smash. Sakurai pls.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Really hoping we Europeans finally get an SMT IV date.

 

[Oxx]

Flick the switch for the upgraded Streetpass relays in Europe, man.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Goldeen.

 

[D-e-f-]

Why not?

Like really, why not?

Because nerd-tears. It bothers me when people go on and rage afterwards because they expect the second coming of X (get it? Jesus reference!) every Direct just because it happened once or twice.

Soraya didn't fucking retweet the NOA announcement. It was a joke.

If she had RT'd anything, it would've been a JP tweet, not a NoA tweet.

 

[amnesiac]

Did they mention there would be surprises when the good Directs happened?

 

[oconnomiyaki]

5am? I might just be bothered to get up early and watch.

 

[upandaway]

Oh wow, that's a nice time, an hour later than usual I think. This is the time for announcements right? Man oh man.

 

[EatChildren]

 

[D-e-f-]

I'm really hoping we'll finally get confirmation of Fantasy Life Link! getting localized. The trademark got registered months ago so it would be about time to tell us about it...

 

[zroid]

Looking forward to this tomorrow, my 3DS hasn't got much use since Animal Crossing so.....

You should've bought SteamWorld Dig...

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Just give me some Smash news and I'll be satisfied.

 

[Sadist]

why EC, why

why would you do this

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Miiverse on 3DS is taking longer than expected, more news will become available in early 2014. Please understand.

 

[Flowmoney]

I want Pokemon TCG 3ds , F-Zero U , Custom Robo U , Advance Wars 3ds , Monster hunter 4 U , Wave Race U , 1080 U , Mario Tennis RPG story mode update and etc.

Jk , it would be nice to want things but that ship has sailed.

It will be about Zelda game coming out , Mario game coming out and then about a bunch of Mario games and DK coming later.

 

[EatChildren]

why EC, why

To bring good luck to all Nintendo fans hoping for special announcements.

Given this isn't about the Wii U and there's no JP Direct, I suspect word I heard of Bayonetta getting ported to Wii U may have been smoke, no fire.
