Sells like shit and FE is never going to come back to home concoles ever again.

What sells like shit? Wii U? How the fuck will it sell better without games! And if your saying FE sells shit...Awakening did really well.

 

[Kouriozan]

Funny, a 3DS Direct and Shin'en will show their Wii U game. :lol

 

[colinp]

Japanese time is 1AM, needs to be corrected in the OP.

Was just about to say the same thing.

 

[BowieZ]

So just over 4 hours to go, right?

 

[L~A]

This will be perfect for my train ride. Hoping for some account system related announcements, and updates on Kirby/DK.

There definitely won't be any Miiverse/eShop/account announcement today, or there'd also be a Japanese Direct (even if it were just for that stuff).

I'd love that, but it's highly unlikely.

 

[Black Republican]

still going through AA5, dont spoil the last case for me !!

Didn't even realise there was no japanese Direct, that's a shame.

Click here, it should tell you when it starts in your timezone. Added that to the OP btw (and thanks for pointing out the incorrect time for Japan).

jett rocket

Actually, I'd say both.

Hopefully we actually get an announcement for the hotly anticipated JRPG Animumu Googoo Wii Uguu~ I'm Left Handed. The chance is slim right?

 

[Yonafunu]

Funny, a 3DS Direct and Shin'en will show their Wii U game. :lol

The Shin'en game is probably Jett Rocket II for 3DS.

I took it to mean it would sell like shit if it was suddenly released today.

 

[Caronte]

But FE X SMT is for wiiu.............

I think what he is saying is that SMT x FE will sell bad, so Nintendo won't make a Fire Emblem game for home consoles ever again.

 

[JimPanzer]

SMT IV EU gawd pls!

 

[Aostia]

at least they added PAL to the Direct.
But considering Bravely Default and Layton foreseen for 2013 here, I think that the PAL direct will be weak...even if they can finally confirm dates for Layton VS AA and SMT IV
I'd love to see MH4, tough

Hmm. FE has potential to sell really well as Awakening showed us but at the same time I think Nintendo are aware of the situation and the potential for it to sell underwhelming numbers. Both SMT and FE sold well and both franchises have stuck it out through thick and thin.

Nintendo shouldn't release games with a negative attitude. They should try to get these games to move as much units as possible. Kid Icarus Uprising sold well. SMT and FE sold well. But these were on the 3DS. But these games didn't magically sell well by virtue of being on the 3DS. It's about effort, building a userbase and conditioning them to these types of games and giving them enticing offers.

Chronos Twins 2?

Metroid 2d side scrolling, no gimmics, based on super metroid -> win of the year

 

[JavyOO7]

Korea is lucky. They got MH4 soon. I hope NA, Eu and other regions get it soon too.

Well, their last announcement (a few days ago) related to a Nintendo plateform is this :

I actually have no idea who they are. That rarely happens.

Well, their last announcement (a few days ago) related to a Nintendo plateform is this :

So this and FAST Racing NEO could show up? Otherwise I don't understand why both developers would release a single screenshot a few days before the ND.

 

[Tenki]

EnjoyUp are publishing UnEpic iirc.

Oh true. Well, should be it...

 

[Rizsparky]

Here comes the Megaton, fucking F-Zero XG by Sumo Digital.

I would die.

 

[L~A]

Yup, guess that confirms we're getting some Wii U eShop stuff. Hopefully we get some more new indie stuff coming... even though there's still plenty of announced games that don't have any release date whatsoever.

 

[Heyt]

The focus being 3DS games doesn't mean we don't get to see WiiU stuff, so yeah.

 

[Platy]

Damn.

Made some bad math and i was thinking this was already starting =/

still 3 more hours to go

This could be the indie direct we've been pining for

Need Miiverse



COME ON.

 

[L~A]

This could be the indie direct we've been pining for

I dunno, there's always been plenty of indie stuff during Nintendo Direct, so I doubt it'd be a Indie Direct per se... especially since this is a 3DS focused Direct, and it's the Wii U, the indie console (much more than the 3DS).

That's true

 

[Jinko]

Here's my prediction: We're getting at least one of either MH4 or DQ7.

Hopefully the later.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Hopefully news on Retro City Rampage for the 3DS which is reportedly launching before year's end.

 

[Star Falcon]

Here comes the Megaton, fucking F-Zero XG by Sumo Digital.

I'd start crying tears of joy in the middle of the office if this happens.


- Fade in from black to close-up of tarmac
- Sound effects heard far off of what sounds like jet engines
- Foot steps into the shot - its Captain Falcons boot
- Camera pans up around to his helmet, and the Mute City theme starts to play

 

[Stormwatch]

Darn it! Why must my cable/internet installer not come until 1PM EST!?!? I want my Nintendo Direct!

 

[Jintor]

3AM in sydney? fuck that

 

[Fireblend]

2 hours and a half still? Was hoping to see this while having breakfast

 

[JDSN]

I would die.

Id kill you for it.

 

[Chrom]

I want them to show Picross e4.

 

[javac]

When/if we get Miiverse on 3DS I'm guessing it'll be similar to the Animal Crossing plaza with its own app rather than having a WaraWara plaza in the main screen.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

My prediction is someone will say "more sequels Nintendo?! Come on, make new IPs!!!" while then turning around and masturbating over a new Forza/Gran Turismo, GTA, Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed or CoD.

 

[Qurupeke]

I'm pretty confident about MH4. It's time.

 

[thefro]

I expect this to be mainly games we know about already + eShop games considering the lack of a live Japanese stream.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Neat, making generalizations to mock generalizations.

It must suck to rely on others' opinions to validate what you like and dislike.

Anyway, hoping to see Kirby. I'm hyped as hell for that game.

 

[BishopLamont]

Just got home in time, woot, zero expectations for this so I hope it surprises.

I'm pretty confident about MH4. It's time.

Ok I lied, this is what I expect to happen due to the epic sales it had in Japan and how well MH3G did WW.
