Now I don't want anyone to panic but Koizumi RT'd the Direct announcement.

No he didn't ABANDON SHIP

IMO they would be stupid to spoil a Koizumi game announcement before E3.

OR THEY HAVE SOMETHING EVEN BIGGER UP THEIR SLEEVES OMG OMG OMG

Don't panic!

Super Mario 64 2. Here we go.

 

[Shahadan]

Mario 64 on VC, that's all

 

[DaanMuffin]

Same here

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yes that one. I get confused because the 3DS game was the PSP game and so on.

I think the boat has probably been missed for that one, sadly. As much as I wish it weren't. Namco appears to have very little trust in the Digimon brand over here, sadly... either that or Saban is blocking their ability to release the more out-there Digimon stuff.

 

[FloweryMarston]

where is the koizumi rt? what is his twitter account?

 

[Soul Lab]

the hype is real. actually, 43 pages real

 

[J@hranimo]

And then there was over 10 hours left.

mate pls. don't make my heart race like that

 

[DaBoss]

Seems so.

That's an estimate. It could be more, less, or 30 minutes exactly, we'll have to wait till the stream goes live.

It's bullshit, he didn't.

 

[TunaLover]

No new Mario game, and N64 VC is a wishful thinking at this point.
Also Retro is not working in any title.
I'm not being sarcastic.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Been sleeping

for shame max

I may not get to watch till a few hours after

you're really slippin' man

Well, Retro is working on a title, this has been known for a long time, but will it be on this Direct? Probably not.

 

[Not75Drops]

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=158337634&postcount=1560

I think Nico nico is usually just an estimate.

 

[anotherVegan]

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3?

 

[TunaLover]

Probably DKCR3, or just side helping another projects.

 

[takriel]

2 years ago they announced Zelda for 3ds in April. Now it's Metroid's turn?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Because those two things are completely related.

Metroid V: Dr3aD c'mon...

 

[Zero²]

Another M?
A Samus Between Worlds?

 

[GasProblem]

I'd be so so happy with a new Donkey Kong or a Metroid from Retro.

 

[maxcriden]

Seems so.

Thanks. I'm reading this was an estimate (above) so hopefully it's longer than 30. I'll be pleased with even five minutes, though!

I won't be able to watch until an hour afterward but good luck with going in blind, max.

It's an expression

(If you're serious, though--I think there's usually a spoiler-free thread or link. Maybe you can send me the link to go in blind after you watch it!)

for shame max

you're really slippin' man

Re: shame--true, I remember the days I could just not sleep

Re: slippin'--these adult responsibilites, bruh, what can i say

 

[Shauni]

It might be DK, but what reason to you have to believe they wouldn't be working on a game and just helping with other projects?

I'm just pesimistic about any Nintendo related thing, I really wished Retro was working in a new Metroid though.

 

[Chû Totoro]

There's a lot of crazy hopes here and I have a lot too but any of these things would make me happy.

Realistic expectations :

• Collectible Badge Center available soon (now would be awesome)
• Box Boy available soon (now is even better)
• Splatoon Amiibos
• Starfox gameplay and release date

Iwata bomb :

• F-Zero announcement
• Metroid announcement
• Paper Mario announcement

Nintendo, tick two boxes in the realistic expectations list and one in the Iwata bomb list. Every combination is ok for me

Don't do this to me

 

[Hot Coldman]

There will never be an F-Zero game on the current set of Nintendo platforms.

 

[Mysterious]

Alright, who's dick do I have to suck to get a new Metroid today?

 

[woopWOOP]

Hold on, if the timer on the front page is correct then the Direct airs at 1 AM over here...
Curse these European daylight saving times!

Anyway, gonna keep those expectations relatively low. Some Splatoon news with perhaps a releasedate, short Mewtwo footage, new Fire Emblem trailer and maybe a vague MK8 DLC trailer. That'd make me happy enough, anything else would be extra gravy.

 

[Zero²]

Oh if it was that easy...

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Re: shame--true, I remember the days I could just not sleep

I know man. What is up with employers these days? Don't they have Nintendo Direct schedules synced in Outlook like normal people??

 

[okaygeraldo]

Fam...chill...

Spoiler

I'd suck some for 3DS 2.5 D side scrolling Metroid tbh

Nah, it's midnight. Fixed the timer.

 

[Vanillalite]

So on a 1-10 scale what's the chance they announce the plat rewards are available today when the direct ends?

I was under the impression that our last CN rewards were confirmed to be out today, so good odds I'd say.

 

[Ninja Dom]

Mario 64 on VC, that's all

It's already on Wii VC.

Anyone reckon we'll hear Devil's Third info?

 

[KooopaKid]

Nah, it's midnight. Fixed the timer.

Pheeew, ok now I'll watch this. It's been a while since a ND had a real surprise. Ready to be disappointed.

 

[RootCause]

Hope they announce the Platinum/Gold rewards. Let it be Pokemon Omega Ruby/Sapphire.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Guessing since it is 30 minutes, this will be pretty much what I guess. At least I will not be disappointed.

Edit: Oh yeah, final Club Nintendo rewards also go up today. Hope it is good!

 

[maxcriden]

Well, luckily I'll already be home. When there's one at work I usually can just move things around a bit so I can watch it there. It's my wife who may not want me to stop everything to watch an ND at 6 PM.

 

[Aostia]

is this the right time to post fake Wii U games covers?

 

[Nia]

I had a hard time filling every space. I'm ready.

 

[Sorceror12]

Hoping for Devil's Third info... as today is Tomonobu Itagaki's 48th Birthday!

 

[amnesiac]

Don't even wanna know how bad N64 games look on an HDTV. Unless there was a scanline effect or something, N64 games would look terrible on modern displays, more than they already do on SDTVs.

Plus the Wii had, what, only 20 N64 games during its entire lifetime? The Wii U would probably only get 5-7 by the time the next console comes.

At first glance, yeah, N64 VC would be cool, but maybe it's better if they wait until next gen.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I had a hard time filling every space. I'm ready.

I think the right side vertical will be filled up today. Maybe not on the Club Nintendo stuff.
However, the chances are high.

Edit: Also I think the Amiibo space since Wave 4 was delayed in the US to be past April. I am going to guess May launch.

 

[Not75Drops]

Even though I would prefer that they wait until next year, I wouldn't really be surprised if there's a main series Pokemon related announcement here as the "surprise". Even though Joe's theory still holds up for now, this is around the time when new Pokemon games usually get revealed.

 

[Ridley327]

It's already on Wii VC.

Given the later start time than normal Directs, it's certainly possible.

 

[SweetDonuts]

I didn't realise there was a Treehouse event afterwards, sucks that it's late for the UK.
