[Exterminieren]

Expect nothing for Pokémon Sun and Moon- if they wanted to show something, I'd have imagined that they'd have done it four days ago.

The Detective Pikachu localisation is a distinct possibility, though.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Hype

 

[Xenoboy]

Nothing stops this fucking train!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

This is probably the first Direct I'm not excited for since they started. I'm just over both Wii U and 3DS at this point.

Of course I'm still going to watch, because Nintendo.

 

[llehuty]

Yesssssssss, get the bombs ready!!!

Could this had the first NX tease?

 

[Nintenleo]

Picross 3d 2

THIS THIS THIS THIIIIS

 

[VeryGooster]

You missed F-Zero NX launch title.

Oh. Duh. Naturally.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

lol @ people thinking this will be about NX.

 

[Kouichi]

I expect most people will ignore the "summer 2016" part. This direct will likely just focus on games coming out soon that we already know about like Pokken and Star Fox with maybe one or two low key game reveals.

 

[oti]

Damnit!

They always say this and sometimes they have a surprise announcement at the end or a teaser. Let the hype consume your soul!

 

[DrROBschiz]

Just announced via Twitter: https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/705014816633712640

Confirmed for Europe and North America. Will cover games coming up until this Summer.

WELL THERE IT IS

So NX is summer/E3 confirmed

Wow we might not even get NX info in April

See you guys in JUNE

 

[chadboban]

Hope this is one of those things where they say they're gonna talk about games to be released for a certain time period (in this case summer) and surprise us with some unexpected announcements or footage. All I want is some new Zelda footage and that'll be good enough for me. It's been long enough, it's time for a new look at this game.

 

[luminous]

This is it we're finally getting Rhythm Tengoku The Best+ at last!

 

[Mistouze]

Probably announcing Starfox's delay. God knows what else.

Didn't the latest rumor state the meeting deciding whether or not to report the game will take place on friday?

 

[Luigiv]

Not expecting anything big here but maybe if were lucky we'll get a "GDC" trailer for the new Zelda, as seems to be the tradition. Not holding my breath, though.

 

[Jarmel]

Come on #FE.

 

[Sebastiano]

Great!

"Will cover games coming up until this Summer."

Oh... And japanese Direct not announced yet... Ooooooooh...

Not too excited for this one but will still watch, maybe we will have one cool surprise... I hope...

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Japan.

[Litri]

Once again the same hype, it intensifies and vanishes when the direct is over, xDD.

But.. HYPE!

 

[black_clavus]

Damn, only for summer

still hyped tho

 

[Hot Coldman]

if NoE seriously devotes more time to Fates and Yokai Watch then just "here's the release dates" then boooooo

 

[Sn4ke_911]

They always say this and sometimes they have a surprise announcement at the end or a teaser. Let the hype consume your soul!

Nein.

 

[Nia]

I'm expecting a passable Direct at best. Nothing big. It should be better than the Pokemon one, hopefully.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

This is it! NXNXNX

Email specifically says no news on either NX or Mobile

 

[DrROBschiz]

So
- Pokken
- FE x SMT
- Star Fox
- Paper Mario
- Mario Sonic Olympics
- Some 3DS stuff

Sounds about right for a direct

 

[phanphare]

feels like the last Direct before the NX is unveiled

getting everything Wii U and 3DS out of the way

 

[stilgar]

There will be some Zelda.


I hope 2 of them.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I wonder what we'll hear about SF Zero. tomorrow. Delay? On-track for April?

 

[JohnTinker]

Most are joking about NX, but even if you're hoping for a crumb of it: no chance. Have to get the remaining titles out with the proper push for them. Talking NX now would cannibalize that even more.

This is a necessary step to get where we want to be.

 

[Exterminieren]

I'd be very surprised if this wasn't the end of an era- the last Direct before the NX is announced and can be covered. Exciting times!

Damnit!

They always, ALWAYS do this, even when they're announcing stuff past that. A focus on summer software doesn't rule out an announcement for Paper Mario in autumn, or whatever.

 

[Litri]

FE fates EU date, NAO!

 

[kennyamr]

so we can expect NX games after summer is over, good, good.

 

[ekim]

Email specifically says no news on either NX or Mobile

What mail?

 

[Diablohead]

Carnival of stupid

Federation force.

 

[Brew124]

Makes sense with the transition Nintendo is going through with NX and Mobile which will take center stage.

Yeah. With this direct taking us through Summer, I wouldn't be surprised if E3 is literally all NX and Mobile, with hardly any mention of Wii U except for Zelda, which will probably get more spotlight on the NX anyway.

 

[spiritfox]

Hopefully we get a Style Savvy release.

 

[TheProudCanadian]

Are there even likely to be any new games announced here if there is no Japanese equivalent presentation? What if it's just a series of release dates for NA/EU?

 

[Benzychenz]

Gimme Dragon Quest VII release date.

 

[DNAbro]

PAPER MARIO WII U LETS GO

 

[iMax]

Email specifically says no news on either NX or Mobile

link?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

TIME TO GET ON THE TRAIN!

 

[Neoxon]

FINALLY!!!!!!!

 

[Nightbird]

if NoE seriously devotes more time to Fates and Yokai Watch then just "here's the release dates" then boooooo

They will. EU has basically said nothing about the game yet.

 

[Pachimari]

I hope for this:

- EU date for Dragon Quest VII
- EU date for Fire Emblem Fates
- Something Yokai Watch
- Something Pokemon Sun/Moon

 

[Oersted]

See above

 

[anotherVegan]

I don't think they will show anything on the NX. That'll probably wait until E3.

 

[Stormwatch]

So we'll probably get new Star Fox footage and clarification on whether it will be delayed or not. We might also here more about Miitomo and their future mobile games. Was Mother 3 confirmed to be a big E3 reveal, or is it possible we'll see it tomorrow?
