30 minutes of just those two???
Fuck you, Conan!!!
Then it will be Cranky Kong Country: Return to Crankyland U time!
I honestly want to see these guys be to be added to the game's roster. A guy can dream, can't he?

Maybe this will be the Nintendo Direct that forces me to buy a Wii U!
Indie games will be about 20 min

Maybe Cranky will get his own spinoff ala Captain Toad.
It could be like all Super Mario Sunshine FLUDDless levels where he takes a nap between each hardcore section lambasting today's modern game design.

Personally I dont wanna see no indie games but good for people that do
Don't even joke I'd buy 20 copies of this.
Thats exactly why I now trust retro with prime 4.
Although I will never be as critical of prime 2 and 3 as Mark Pacini himself, I do agree that that his particular direction along with the rest of the staff that went to armature started to really drag the games off course from prime 1. That metroidvania batman game was literally everything that was going wrong with the prime series for me boiled down and concentrated into a super potent dose.
Prime 1 was by far the best, and had the team that was at the time the least experienced. As if the team learning and exploring themselves, made a game more conducive to learning and exploring. With the kind of leadership Nintendo has overseeing the production, I am extremely excited for another retro metroid.
I haven't bought a single indie game on a Nintendo console and I don't plan on doing so anytime soon.
Not because they're bad, but because if they're multiplatform half the time they end up being free with PS+/XBL Gold.
Absolutely nobody hears about a new Nintendo Direct and thinks "oh boy, can't wait for the indie game segment!"

I'd be for the first two.
I don't see Dry Bones being in 8 because Dry Bowser is already coming(however, they did do the multiple babies and cat/tanooki/Peach/Mario.
However, Birdo???
I'd pay 7$ just to drive as whatever that is.

If they try to fix Battle Mode they should just release a stand-alone 15-20$ DLC (and maybe stand-alone eShop release) called Mario Kart : Battle Royale. Mission modes, tons of levels, 'grand prix' style cups with 4-battles-in-a-row against different level CPU, customization in the weapons, online, state tracking. Bring back shine-thief, bomb-omb blast, and survival-style play.
It could be a real winner, and wouldn't be too hard to make considering all the assets are there.
As one of Nintendo's biggest selling properties, a focused battle-style Mario Kart could do really well and become a successful off-shoot of the main franchise.

Man I would love to see Mega Man in Mario Kart.
If you want hot new info about indie games there are millions of developers begging for you to care, around the clock all year round
Well both of those were bundled so... Point I'm trying to make is that DKCTF still sold better than the other Nintendo properties released for Wii U so a new DKC game makes more financial sense than, for example, Pikmin 4.
In any case, they should just make Pikmin 4 and DKC6.

Hahahha omfg. Never forget:
Sucks that, while he's cool to play as, Retro didn't give him the same assholish charm as Rare did in the older games.

My predictions: Luigis Mansion HD, FRN trailer and Devils Third new trailer.

Yeah, Retro ruined the Donkey Kong characters, if you are going to make a DKC game, why don't stay true to the established characters?
Birdo has been a playable character in past installments in the series, and it seems sad that he/she is regulated to a cameo on an in-game billboard.
I like how you think, man.
It kind of happened with Rockman: Battle and Chase. If Nintendo uses the SSB design of Mega Man & have the Rush Roadster as his main vehicle, along with the City Circuit from RB&C as his home stage and a remix of Rock's theme from that game, I'll be over the moon with this.
Besides, we now have a yellow puppy, a midget, and a fairy as being the first non-Mario characters in a Mario Kart game, and given how Capcom and Nintendo have been rubbing shoulders lately, this doesn't seem like a far fetched idea.

Was Birdo playable in Double Dash???
I played most of the Karts but don't remember playing as Birdo.
HOWEVER, Birdo was my favorite character in Mario Strikers Charged.

I hope we get a new 3D Mario for Wii U
I look forward to new, great games. Can be AAA, AA, Indie or Nintendo. Don't care.
That's ok.. except, you know.. they're not free.
And it still applies.
Oh god that was hilarious. Cranky should show up more often.
Actually, he should totallly host the robot chicken segment in the Digital Event this year. Cause that thing HAS to happen again this year.
If I recall, Birdo was playable in both Double Dash & MKWii.
Yes, yes, the old "indies are real games too" chestnut. I'm not saying they aren't. The thing is, indies can show off what they want at any time. Nintendo tends to save their cool announcements for things like this. So when the indie sizzle reel rolls around during a Direct, it's no shocker that people would rather see something else.

Never played Wii but I had Double Dash(might have traded it in though :[ ).
They need to realize that a 35-minutes Direct with a 5 minutes indie presentation would be a 30 one without it. Indie games are games, non-exclusive games are games.

Oh god today is gonna be the longest day.

They're free with services that I already pay for and plan on continuing paying for. Since just about every indie game I'm interested in ends up free or cheaper with said services on another system, I usually have zero interest in the indie segment, and I think that's a valid reason to have zero interest in it. If you only have a Wii U, or only play other systems offline, I can see it being interesting. But otherwise, it's just rare that anything in the indie segments are interesting to me.
