I doubt Star Fox will be a very big system seller.

God bless Star Fox, but it's not even remotely a system seller

Starfox is a traditional linear rail shooter at its core. Those are never system sellers.

I don't think they want an E3 2008 all over again.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I remember the Direct with Little Mac was shown late like this (late for me in the east coast), and apparently that was because of Bayonetta 2...
Does that mean we'll see a M-rated game here? Project Treasure?

They said they aren't going to talk about NX until next year.
New Leaf sold like 10 million copies and Wild World before it sold even more. The console titles have, admittedly, sold less, but still. Maybe it'd be met with that reaction for some people, but AC has sneakily become one of Nintendo megafranchises.

People seem to forget A Link Between Worlds was announced in a Direct. They could of easily saved that announcement for E3 considering it was a little over a month away, but they choose the direct. Not saying we'll get anything of that caliber tomorrow, but Nintendo's been known to do that in the past and they need a exciting new game to get people's minds off Zelda Wii U's delay.

With very little insider knowledge on this Direct, I'll say that it would probably be prudent to keep expectations low.
No Nintendo game in America past Xenoblade 3D has a release date. Expect this Direct to rectify that and very little else.

Mewtwo DLC is all I'm expecting and even that's a little high since Sakurai will probably add the disclaimer of "This is the last DLC we'll make because we dislike money"

Kid Icarus uprising u incoming
Lol.
The people who are interested in Star Fox are the people who bought a Wii U already. I.e. only the absolute most dedicated Nintendo fans.

I think we've all been waiting for a specific date for Xenoblade X, so i'll honestly be happy with just that.

Devil's Third
Btw, a international Direct means one new announcement... would be nice.
Hibiki Kurosawa
Member
If that were any indication, I would just assume Devil's Third.

Expectations in the toilet, this time tomorrow they'll be in the stratosphere though. I have a cycle with these things.
If we get some solid Splatoon info and anything about AC Ill be happy with this one.

Captured my boyhood nostalgia and current excitement in one, superfuglydeformed Nintendo direct gif of potential mega booty haul. Drop the bombs Iwata, drop 'em all over my face.
I was referring more to the fact that maybe cross buy VC is coming in some form, since they were the first third party to have actual cross buy with no download code for the other platform (like Tipping Stars). Just reaching though
I see
We need any kind of cross buy so badly! It would make to much good to the Wii U!
But I dont think they will announce any of this soon. I think they will make a special direct only to speak about the new ClubNintendo-thing that is going on. I see that more toward summer... or maybe the E3?
My predictions:
- Mewtwo
- Mario Kart DLC
- Xenoblade X (only Japan)
- Yoshi Hilitos (date+trailer)
- Kirby (only Europe)
- New amiibo for Mai and June
- Splatoon (date+trailer)
.... and a small surprise.
The E3 is in less than 3 months, so I dont see any big surprises in here. Maybe the smartphone game that is coming this year? or miniteaser of Star Fox?
That's better

So what you're saying is Xenoblade X is getting a release date tomorrow for July? Sweet, 10/10 best Direct ever.
I still love this GIF far too much.

not to anyone in the southern hemisphere! lol
Yeah, it depends I guess upon whether they have at least 2 major new games to announce. If all they have is 1 then sure ride out the next 2 months and show it at E3. But if they have more, show something MAJOR now, build hype for more details about it at E3, then show whatever else (cough, Retro's next title) and 'tease' the NX and reassure everyone of Nintendo's great future plans at E3.

I think this is a good sign, because it suggests that they have a few surprises in store. What those could be is a total mystery, but I think release dates for Yoshi's Woolly World, Devil's Third, and Xenoblade Chronicles X are practically guaranteed.

I wonder if it is at all possible the regular N3DS will be announced for release in North America in tomorrow's direct... I would be so happy.

It certainly was E3 2008. But then City Folk was pretty unremarkable as it was basically Wild World HD.

Nintendo directs rarely disappoint, yet every ND comes and people say "keep your expectations in check".
Yeah, don't get excited for something on the scale of a new metroid his close to e3, but it should have some neat surprises

It's more that my sources knew when it was and what was on the American end (i.e. indies) than indication of anything else.

I can, I have to... Someone must keep that flame of hope burning.
Shhh, no reason, just hype.

Star Fox isn't really a big name anymore (if it ever was). At this point there's zero momentum behind the franchise because of all the duds released after SF64.

Uh...lol. I mean, if it'll get you to buy a Wii U, more power to ya.
