What is the likelihood that you make it on time?

Hopefully it's not 12%.

 

[Exile20]

Really hope we get a western date for Xenoblade Chronicles X. It's not fair that the Japanese has one!

Dude this the norm.

Nintendo, if you announce a new Metroid today, I will be very unhappy with you.

I sold my Wii U and you can't do that to me.

Really bad move. We all know a metroid is coming at some point.

The Metroid rhythm game that will save the Wii U

 

[Diffense]

The "secret" could be that game that was teased at a previous direct. There were obscured character portraits and some people saw KOSMOS in there.

You sold your Wii U with Splatoon around the corner?

That's your own damn fault.

Terrible decision to sell such an amazing system, would be deserved to see that Metroid be announced!

Seems so.

Nico is not a good way to find out. They have been wrong before.

Banish him!!!! He did not consult the council to approve his decision.

Yeah, I kind of want to know what Project Treasure is. Didn't Harada say it was a F2P game though or am I just misremembering and making that up?

To be fair, Nintendo Treehouse has to translate & dub the game.

Generally spoiler-free after the direct? Or is YT a better bet?

Thanks.

Katsuhiro Harada, famed lover of sunglasses and director of the Tekken series, announced a new game for Wii U from Namco Bandai. Codenamed Project Treasure, the four-player co-op game for Wii U will focus on hunting for treasure and fighting enemies. Unlike Harada's Tekken games, Project Treasure is targeted a broad audience. Harada emphasized that the Dimps-developed game is designed to be "accessible." Project Treasure will be available as an eShop download.

The middle "A" in Atari looks like it's coming out of Pikachu's mouth.

We're probably not going to get a date for anything past May or June. Just not Nintendo's style usually.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I already played all the games I wanted to play, and it didn't look like Nintendo was even going to try to release games that I wanted.

So I sold it.

Not interested in Splatoon, Xenoblade or Star Fox.

Metroid and Yoshi, but I didn't think it was worth keeping the console for one game.

and you can use its DVR features.

 

[ErrorMacro]

I want N64 VC for three titles alone: Super Smash Bros and Mario Party 2 & 3. Anything else would be icing on the cake.

Kojima will need to work on something once he leaves Konami

Nintendo's first porn game? Seriously sounds like one.

 

[Swamped]

Woohoo only a few more hours left!

Nintendo has spoken of doing 2D & 3D Metroid titles. Plus you're missing out on some great stuff.

I say take youtube, less probability of having any type of lag or issues

 

[Servbot24]

Do I rush home and hope to make it in time for the direct, or stay at work super late to make sure I don't miss anything?

Go home, relax and watch the video afterwards.

 

[Morfeo]

Two games and their covers have been already leaked. Also an improved version of Smash Bros with lots of extras is coming, surely the ultimate version:

I am so ready for all this!

 

[10k]

Grezzo and From are actually making a Souls style Zelda based in a mysterious cursed Clock Town-esque city and the final boss is Nightmare from Link's Awakening so all the dungeons are based on the townsfolk's nightmares and it stars an older Link from Twilight Princess looking for a way to reunite with Midna and your companion is the Skull Kid who makes creepy cryptic comments about the dark past of everything and then you woke up and realized it wasn't real and never will be

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Inception

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

off and on.

iirc can't be sure if its Wii U, 3DS or next console.

Not really interested in JRPG's, Splatoon looks okay to me.

Was never a fan of Star Fox.

 

[Dambrosi]

Nintendo's first porn game? Seriously sounds like one.

Sorry mate, had to.

 

[DrROBschiz]

this starts up at 6pm eastern right?

Not sure what to expect but this will be my dinner time entertainment lol

 

[Morfeo]

Kojima will need to work on something once he leaves Konami

I am sure there will be a bidding war for Kojima now that he leaves Konami, but what would be the chance of Nintendo winning it and opening a new Kojipro for him that creates an all new stealth-based series?This is something Nintendo needs and would be awesome for us fans. Kojima is also supposedly friends with Sakurai, so maybe they could use him as bait.

http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/14/project-treasure-is-a-free-to-play-4-player-action-game-for-w/

Ahhh so it is. I wonder if it'll just be those 4 characters or if there'll be more. Would be hilariously awesome if Harada managed to put Iori in somehow because reasons lol

Ice, if Ridley was playable in Smash U, you would've kept your Wii U :T

 

[Mr. Virus]

The thing is, they already announced N64 VC would be coming to Wii U 2 years ago and have been silent on it since. It was at that time they also announced GBA VC for Wii U and that just recently (as of last year) finally started up. They owe us either an explanation why N64 VC isn't here still or they need to deliver on what they announced in 2013 even if it's not a huge library of games.

I want some of those Wii N64 VC titles for Wii U. If that's all we get, I would be fine with that as well. It would still be N64 VC on Wii U, just not any new N64 VC games.

If you're lucky the WiiU could still get Mario 64

I probably would have kept Smash.

I sold Smash before the Wii U.

You sold Smash over the lack of one character?

 

[10k]

To all the people debating missing school, work or any other activity for this direct, all sources lead to it being disappointing and minor. Don't expect anything new. Just watch the repeat afterwards on your free time.

[IceDoesntHelp]

no, but it was one of the reasons.
I got bored of Smash U quicker than any other Smash.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I have to agree with you. It is too much work to switch discs just for 10 minutes of gameplay.
That is why I think Smash 3DS is the best since N3DS fixes most of my issues (controls).

haha never change Ice xD

 

[Neoxon]

Odd, I still play it even now. Much better than the train-wreck that was Brawl (I use train-wreck in relation to Brawl against the other Smash games). Smash 4 is easily the 2nd best Smash game in the series, second only to Melee.

To be fair, the only thing Smash 3DS is good for now is getting custom moves onto Wii Us faster.

 

[NuttSack]

It's April 1st....I have a feeling some people might become salty after this direct.

 

[Morfeo]

Yeah in a perfect world but it will never happen. We dont have that type of luck and Nintendo has too big of an ego.

Come on, lets just 'leave luck to heaven' and everything will work out fine!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I'll try not to.

I actually prefer Brawl.

I always played it, always had fun.

The mechanics are better in 4, but it just doesn't keep my attention, get bored after a few matches.

 

[plutoknight]

I just want a date for XCX. That's all I want. I have to tell my family and friends what day I'll be falling off the face of the planet.

 

[maxcriden]

YouTube has usually been better at keeping the stream consistent.

Oh, I mean--I'll watch it on YT for sure if I get to watch live. But if I can't watch it live, I want to watch it afterwards spoiler-free, and I think YT's page is a bit more dangerous on that front b/c the associated links will probably be to video clips from the Direct. I don't assume there will be lag once it's aired. (I think!)

It'll look something like this afterwards http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/11-05-2014/#/video-1ndirect

Thank you! So it's probably a bit dicey for spoilers depending on how far down I scroll. Hmm. Might still be safer/easier to avoid than the YT sidebar of clips.

 

[Memory]

Man this thread has gone off the rails (pun intended ;p).

I'm as hyped as the next guy/girl but some of you are building your expectations way too high lol.


Anyways...

Choooooo Chooo mofos choooo chooo!

 

[Neoxon]

I'll try not to.

Not even the online (which isn't shit)?

 

[JCX]

What is the likelihood that you make it on time?

Usually takes me about 35 minutes, but if there is an accident or I have to stay later after work, could be longer.

Go home, relax and watch the video afterwards.

But then I won't get to follow along with the gaf hype. That's part of what makes these so fun.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Not even the online (which isn't shit)?

I didn't play online, because I'd rather play on the couch with friends.

Also, cause I'm not overly good at the game, and I'm a sore loser.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Not going to get to hyped for this. I only expect to see XCX. Which is fine. I would like to see stuff like Metroid and that Wii remaster game, but I expect its not going to be present today.
