Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors 2, Majora's Mask 3D, Pokemon X and Y, Xenoblade X, Wind Waker HD, Yoshi's Wooley World (and some others I'm forgetting) were all shown via Directs, so you're not wrong

Think you mean the first one. There is no second.

My first Direct hype thread!

Expectations!

• Metroid Prime 4
• F-Zero GX 3D
• Lol jk on the Zelda delay guys
• Smash Season Pass
• Dragon Quest VII 3D published by NoA/NoE
• Unprecedented Partnership 2.0

Did I do it right?

Decently, but I think my own contribution was a bit more realistic:

No reason to go overboard with expectations, but I guess this is reasonable to expect:

F-Zero Ultra
Metroid Prime 4 U
Metroid Zero Fusion 3DS
Mother 4 / (Mother Trilogy on VC)
Super Mario Universe (galaxy 3)
Eternal Darkness 2
Star Tropics Wii U
Robot U

[Rubixcuba]

I literally just woke from a dream of Iwata announcing both Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess getting a HD remake.

Felt so real

 

[ShogunDarius]

NintendoDogs Benny finally happening?

 

[GiantBreadbug]

The 3DS version still exists, so they aren't happening.

Spoiler

;_;

prepare to have your world shattered when Sakurai puts makes an exception to roster parity to include a character that's been in the game since Melee

"These characters require extra power due to their complex nature so if you want to use them in the 3DS version you will require a new Nintendo 3DS system to play, please understand."

Just wait till tomorrow...we shall see.

 

[timshundo]

No reason to go overboard with expectations, but I guess this is reasonable to expect:

...
Metroid Another M
...

Metroid An Other M

because thats still a perfectly reasonable name.

 

[Dee Dee]

Last time, all I asked for was the Badge Center Bunny that is out already in Japan. I got nothing. So I ask for nothing this time (but I really really want the Badge Center Bunny).

Gunvolt and Boxboy will be mine, since I can still collect Club Nintendo stars for download games until the 20th April in EU. So that's something at least.

Not so outlandish predictions:

JP:
more info on new Rhythm Heaven, Fire Emblem, Ace Attorney

EU:
Please buy Xenoblade 3D! Also, Mario Kart + Smash DLC

US:
New Club Nintendo explained (the time seems very US focused for this direct)

Believe me I'd love for the Ice Climbers to come back, but I just don't see Sakurai breaking his policy just for one (pair of) character(s). If it were 4 or more I'd understand, but it's just one.

whoa

holy shit when did this get announced /s

Or they figure out a way to add them. He never really said they were impossible, he just said they would take too long to get working right and they couldn't dedicate the time to a character that had no future games coming out. Given enough time, they could probably figure out a solution, even if it means they're sprites or something.

 

[Thud]

NintendoDogs Benny finally happening?

I approve of this post.

 

[SCChappy]

It hasn't.

I know that you probably didn't mean this literally, but it seems rendering them is not the problem.

Ohhhhh, thanks for pointing that out.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Am I supposed to believe that a Smash Bros. DLC character is harder to make than a Street Fighter?

I agree.

If Sony agrees to pay for it, they will totally make new characters.

 

[L95]

Ohhhhh, thanks for pointing that out.

You're welcome c:

 

[AdanVC]

I can see that happening

The Japanese Direct page already confirmed that there would be no discussion of mobile or NX stuff.

Damn. Well NX is already confirmed they will not talk more about it until next year but hoping for at least a few words on Nintendo + DeNA. Like their new Club Nintendo succesor and stuff like that.

 

[Übermatik]

Battalion Wars 3.

 

[JinjoUnchained]

Castlevania is perfect for this. Just imagine a 3D interconnected Transylvania like in Simons Quest with all the different areas, crazy difficulty and awesome bosses. It is my dream game.

You've described my dream game too. As good as Igavanias are, they get pretty same-y when confined to one closed environment with only one correct path. By Igavanias, I mean both the actual Iga portable games and all of the Indie "Metroidvania" games you see today like Ori and the Blind Forest.

I want a game that plays like an Igavania, but in an interconnected open world setting with side quests and NPCs and lore. The Simon's Quest setup would be perfect: different towns, mansions, branching paths, blend of linear and nonlinear progression. Order of Ecclesia hinted at that, but was more staged based than open world.

This dream game still needs to be made. Perhaps we'll have to make it ourselves.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Battalion Wars 3.

yes please, and i'd love a new Advance Wars or Golden Sun

 

[Ultima_5]

my predictions:

Pokemon x and y sequel (xy2 or z or something)
Smash bros 4 dlc mewtwo and a map pack
Mario kart dlc reminder
Wii vc: donkey kong, twilight princess, one of the pikmin
Splaotoon info
Yoshi footage
Club Nintendo plat prize announcement
Mentions the phone development

Maybe something amiibos

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I'm expect them to mention the Zelda delay, still try to convince people FE x SMT is still a thing, Mewtwo DLC info, amiibo stuff and some Splatoon stuff.

On the 3DS some spot for Etrian Odyssey Mystery Dungeon, more Fire Emblem if stuff, some new indie 3DS game and a surprise game.

All and all, luck luster.

It's SMTxFE. Sorry for the late correction.

Battalion Wars 3.

Advance Wars 5/3DS needs to happen first.

 

[m_shortpants]

Just kidding Zelda is coming out this year!

 

[jmizzal]

Early access to Splatoon multiplayer for CN Platinum April 3rd, Gold May 1st

And Hyrule Warrios expansion pack Holiday 2015 - New Adventure mode, new story mode, 10 new characters and new costumes

 

[ladyluthien]

Ooooo I nearly forgot about the Badge Center. I would love for that to be announced, I want some cute badges all over mah screenz.

 

[Starphoenix]

$10 says they'll have some sort of Super Smash Bros expansion/DLC pack around Fall/Holiday to help fill the content void.

 

[Kandinsky]

Does Street Fighter have 50+ characters that each new DLC fighter has to be balanced against? That seems to be what Sakurai's problem is with DLC characters. He explained it as each new character adding an exponential amount of work.

Let's not forget that every character interacts with thousands of items as well, and almost everyone have unique animations for trowing, using, reflecting, landing, getting hit by, etc.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Can we get another Paper Mario sometime? More like TTYD though.

 

[PadWarrior]

$10 says they'll have some sort of Super Smash Bros expansion/DLC pack around Fall/Holiday to help fill the content void.

Ultra super smash bros

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I want the leak to be true, I'd be well happy with that.

A demo of Splatoon would be swell. 1 map available with limited guns to bring hype. They did it with Codename STEAM so...

 

[Kandinsky]

HYPE!!

D:

 

[RPGCrazied]

HYPE!!

D:

Yeah, and bring back party members!

 

[OuterLimits]

Hell, I would be happy with Golden Sun The Lost Age being released in NA on Wii U. It is ridiculous that they released the first one and not the sequel.

 

[Francokid1]

I really want to hear something about SMTxFE. Hoping for Mewtwo release and Splatoon in the treehouse as well.

 

[Ally of Justice]

To be honest, I want them to announce games that I actually want to get. Besides MH4U (Which I already have), I have no interest in anything else for 3DS this year.

I don't have a Wii U, but that's because I don't want more than 3 games for it so far (Mario 3D World, Smash [Although I already have it for 3DS], Xenoblade and Zelda).

Please announce a revival of Megaman Legends 3, a new IGAvania or something completely new, not sequels!

 

[Dimitri LH]

bring back party members!

THIS!!!

 

[JDSN]

Didn't they announce a big game on a Direct before? I thought so. They don't even do E3 conferences anymore, so they could show big games whenever.

After last year, people are still saying this.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Since Zelda wont be at e3 they should blow their load here

 

[hatchx]

My Predictions:

-Splatoon final date and some info
-Smash Bros / Mario Kart DLC info
-Some 3DS localizations
-We'll find out what WiiU game is coming out in June. Either Mario Maker, Yoshi, or XCX
-Project Giant Robot, available to download right after the direct
-Treehouse game is their June game

 

[Tuck]

Yeah, and bring back party members! all the aspects that actually make Paper Mario fun!

FTFY.

 

[-Horizon-]

'/s' generally means sarcasm

Keikaku means plan.

 

[Herb Alpert]

Since Zelda wont be at e3 they should blow their load here

Yup.
I don't expect any surprise. They have to keep the few ones for E3.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Yup.
I don't expect any surprise. They have to keep the few ones for E3.

But they don't usually do that. Stuff like Omega Ruby and Link Between Worlds could have been announced at E3, but weren't. They were announced in the Spring Direct right before E3.

 

[The12thGripper]

All I want is Smash Wii U Update and DLC news. Everything else is a bonus.
