Is it possible that they announce an MH4 localization at one of these NDs?

MH3U was announced in an ND, so it isn't out of the question, but definitely not this early. We'll most likely hear something around Q3/4 or 2014 about localization.

 

[Starphoenix]

NCL has announced a presentation by Satoru Iwata today, Apr. 17th at 11 pm Japan Time, covering new information on Nintendo 3DS and first-party Wii U titles, as well as next week's Wii U update.

*counts number of Wii U titles*

Outside of NSMBU DLC, what other Wii U titles could they show off that deal with Luigi? Maybe more information on Yoshi Yarn, being green and all?

 

[Scum]

Wii U Spring Update
Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Bayonetta: Climax Edition, and NSMBU: Downloadable Luigi Content release dates
Super Luigi 3D Land
Rayman Legends April Demo
Bayo2 Teaser
Kamiya's Starfox
Animal Crossing + fancy 3DS for Yurop

 

[TheCongressman1]

I'm just here for the heck of it. I don't expect anything to come of this one.

I'd love some Zelda, just so you know Nintendo...

 

[Nekki]

hnnngggyyypeeeeee!!!

 

[IntelliHeath]

Hype for localization information

Pikmin 3/W101 release dates!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?! Kamiya been quieter on twitter recently...

 

[Tehalemi]

I'm down for some Cheese! This one starts one hour before work. happydance.gif

Allow me to demonstrate said happy dance.

On topic: I really can't wait to see those Wii U improvement details from Iwata.

 

[Dang0]

Any chance of getting more on Monolith's Xeno Wii U game?

I'm gonna say probably not. I'd say E3 is the earliest we'll see that. I'd love to be wrong though.

 

[Smellycat]

I am going to be enjoying my day at the beach so I won't be able to watch it. Will watch later

 

[Starphoenix]

But if this Nintendo Direct is going over more Luigi stuff, don't the games have to be Mario related in some capacity? Mario Golf World Tour, M&L: Dream Team, and NSMB DLC all make sense; it's just figuring out the rest that's puzzling.

 

[BlackJace]

Fucking finally. It's not cool to leave your new console adopters in the dark for so long, Ninty.

They said 'with a focus on Year of Luigi titles' doesn't necessarily mean everything has to be related to that.

 

[TriGen]

Only 12 hrs to go!

The last big Nintendo direct had a Luigi theme, but we seen many non-Luigi games being featured.

 

[javac]

£15-£20 for the DLC max, right?

Also hype, update next week.

 

[Starphoenix]

They said 'with a focus on Year of Luigi titles' doesn't necessarily mean everything has to be related to that.

Hence why I ask. Either way, I do hope to hear more about the Yoshi game. If it comes anywhere close to playing like Yoshi's Island with the Yoshi Story/Epic Yarn aesthetic, I will be happy.

 

[Drago]

The lowercase 'special' in the thread title is really bugging me :|

 

[Easy_D]

eh? I hope we get M&L2 footage.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

FINALLY, Luigi's Mansion for the Wii U by Retro.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Indeed.

Who wants to put money down that the NSMBU DLC has been moved to a brand new retail platformer? Luigi must save Daisy from Mort.

Or someone has ported LM2 to Wii U with a bonus Mansion?

 

[schuelma]

Wii U wise, I would expect a NSMB Luigi update and a few release dates for late June/early July. Hopefully at least W101.

 

[Dang0]

Don't assume EVERYTHING at this ND will be Luigi related.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

£15-£20 for the DLC max, right?

$30, maybe.

It's 80 new levels.

 

[Gummb]

Fucking finally. It's not cool to leave your new console adopters in the dark for so long, Ninty.

Yeah, this has been the most frustrating launch console I have had, and it's mostly because Nintendo just doesn't tell us release dates anymore. I understand why, I guess. They obviously have a hard time committing to any release date, but damn... it's frustrating.

 

[Mesoian]

Nice. Just in time for me to get to the office.

 

[Blades64]

Cheese is my default!

 

[Darryl]

i bet they'll bundle it with physical copies before too long, so i expect it to be a price early adopters won't be upset by. $15 or so, ya

 

[Busaiku]

eh? I hope we get M&L2 footage.

You mean 4.

 

[javac]

Yeah I mean to be honest I'd pay the price of a full game for it if it is a quality NSMBU+ game with extras, but the lower the price the better. Maybe a price reduction for early adopters would be cool. Let's see! Not long left, so excited!

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Does this mean we get a Luigi 3DS XL?

Spoiler

Slightly Xbox-ish, but I love green.

I really like the focus on Luigi. I'm officially hyped. I would like to have pricing information on that Luigi DLC. I still hope Nintendo saves a good bit of surprises for E3, but news is news.

 

[Artemisia]

nintendo will flop

 

[Pikma]

Only WiiU 1st party titles? Luigi special? Hype is gone.

That actually looks really nice. All I want though is this:

 

[BlackJace]

Only WiiU 1st party titles? Luigi special? Hype is gone.

You're not hyped for first party goodness?

 

[Busaiku]

Only WiiU 1st party titles? Luigi special? Hype is gone.

Wasn't it announced as a 3DS Direct though?

 

[Soriku]

Only WiiU 1st party titles? Luigi special? Hype is gone.

Mang, it says "covering new information on Nintendo 3DS" in the OP too.

Unless you were expecting third party Wii U announcements...

 

[serplux]

Only WiiU 1st party titles? Luigi special? Hype is gone.

This was originally announced as a 3DS-only Direct in the West...

 

[Flamfas]

Honestly the only luigi title I was really hyped for was LM2, which I beat now.

Hoping they have a few localization announcements and a surprise or two in addition to the Luigi focus.

 

[Oblivion]

Why don't you have Pacific Standard Time (aka, best time) listed in the title as well?

 

[javac]

So this is the same Nintendo direct as announced before, right?

Hope it's good!

 

[Tenbatsu]

Today we will see the Limited 3DS LL MH4 edition.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Holy fucking shit.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit.

Guys it's real. It's really real.

 

[Pikma]

You're not hyped for first party goodness?

My hype is reserved for new announcements, and I doubt Nintendo has anything up their sleeves ready to be revealed this time, they'll probably keep them for dates nearer to E3.


Hope I'm wrong though.

Edit: 3DS too? Well, I'm back!

 

[Kokonoe]

Hopefully next year is the year of Wario.

 

[MasterSheen]

Luigi Galaxy
Luigi & Mario Universe
Paper Luigi
