Support NeoGAF

[foxuzamaki]

Don't judge me for this, but everytime Reggie/Trinen says "and here's what our Indie partners have been up to" I minimize the Direct until I hear that segment's over.

What the fuck

 

[Marcus]

Why does everyone want Platinum to make Star Fox? Every on-rails section in their games are horrible.. Let Treasure do it instead.

Meh.

I'd rather have a Treasure-developed Star Fox, to be honest.

someone agrees with me!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

yes yes yes.. Devils Third!

 

[Exile20]

yes yes yes.. Devils Third!

I really want to play this

 

[TheSlySoul]

I do this sometimes too (usually to read the GAF thread about the Direct). I'd love a lot of those indie games probably, but it's rare that any of them make it to physical release. And if they do I'll probably catch wind of it down the road.

Honestly though they have to do this because otherwise the Wii U library would be even less games on it.
It is important to spotlight games which are coming out to your system.
To be frank, I am ready to hear more about Shovel Knight free DLC. So it does not bother me.

 

[Chû Totoro]

My Brody is ready

 

[VARIA]

Hideo Kojima will be announced as the newest member of the Nintendo family.

Oh yeah, for sure! Even though it doesn't interest me, I think showing them off is important. Moreover, I think they should go out of the way a bit more often to have extended looks highlighting any high quality exclusive titles coming their way.

 

[FZZ]

Snake in Smash 4 brethren

 

[Chû Totoro]

Temper expectations will ya, it isn't going to be anywhere near the best direct ever this close to E3, to be the best one ever it would need to top Jan 2013 direct.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

someone agrees with me!

I love Platinum, but they clearly excel at something other on-rail shooters. Treasure made Sin and Punishment 1/2 which are some of the best ORS I've ever played.

Heck, I'd take a Project Sora Star Fox game over one by Platinum.

I think the main problem is they start and end with something interesting.
So people tune out the middle part of events.
It would make more sense to show something big, then indies while people are cooling off IMO. That way it does not interrupt the flow at all.

I'll hear about all these other games (or have heard about them) on NeoGAF anyway, I watch the Nintendo Direct for new information about Nintendo game.

But the average Nintendo fan would probably only get information about the games from Direct.
Like I had zero clue Citizens of Earth was a thing until the Direct it was shown in. I love the game though. Need to get back and finish it...

Nothing is going to happen.
You all know it.

Spoiler

Fingers crossed for Metroid

 

[10k]

Here is my biggest dilemma for the direct - Pizza Hut, Dominos, or Frozen?? I want my heart to explode from the grease in tandem with my mind from the bombs, so I should probably choose the worst one of the three.

Pizza Hut it is?

You can never go wrong with stuffed crust. I'm going with a cheesy gordita crunch.

 

[Ashodin]

jesus christ you guys

about maybe like 5 minutes or less will be devoted to most likely quickie videos of indie titles.

Everything else is straight up Nintendo stuff.

BUT THAT DOESNT MATTER I MIGHT BE IN THERE

DDDDDDDDDD

 

[Neff]

Don't judge me for this, but everytime Reggie/Trinen says "and here's what our Indie partners have been up to" I minimize the Direct until I hear that segment's over.

I wouldn't go that far, but I do squeeze my eyes tightly shut, dig my fingernails into my palms and rock back and forth mumbling incoherently to myself until it's over.

Hideo Kojima will be announced as the newest member of the Nintendo family.

This is amazing.

I'd agree that Treasure would be more suited but people are focused on Platinum due to that Star Fox stage in Bayo 2, I think. That and Kamiya's love for shmups.

"Nothing" is Retro's new survival horror IP.

And now I would like to welcome a guest for a special announcement.

[Kojima fades in]

Hello. I'm Hideo Kojima. You may be familiar with games I have directed, such as the Metal Gear series. Today I would like to make a special announcement for those of you watching Nintendo Direct.

As of today, I am pleased to say that the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 are now available for the Wii U and 3DS Virtual Console here in Japan. Those who purchase it on the 3DS will receive a special MSX theme. Thank you.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

I like your style

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Guh.....cant decide wether to invest in New Leaf now or wait for Wii U version to start playing my first ever Animal crossing game. HURRY UP TIME!! ;-;

It all depends on whether they actually put effort into the console version this time.

 

[Exile20]

Hideo Kojima will be announced as the newest member of the Nintendo family.

I was thinking this today. Sony fanboys would cause a riot.

I read somewhere the ND is 30 minutes long.
Is that true?

Approximate time, no specifics known.

 

[faridmon]

Personally, I would totally love it if it was indie focused Nintendo Direct.

 

[Exile20]

I read somewhere the ND is 30 minutes long.
Is that true?

It was because of the Nico stream. they were wrong in the past.

I see. Thanks guys.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I want Treasure to do Murasame myself.

Always thought it'd work well as a cool shooter/on-rail game like Sin and Punishment. The original game had a bit of a Bullet Hell feel to it

Nah, Kojima will make Custom Robo with the combat of ZoE.

LOL, I agree with you personally.
It is good for exposure. I am totally fine with that anyway.
I rather they do that then ramble on about yarn and how yarn is perfect for a Yoshi setting (honestly the developer interviews are the worst parts IMO).

 

[SuperSah]

Unedited:

This one by Sunhi or the unedited one?

Fucking amazing.

Someone posted earlier that the NicoNico stream is that long, but they have been wrong in their estimations before. Believe

I lost all hype for FAST honestly.

I'm aware, as is my bank account.

 

[Xeroblade]

Do we have a stream link yet? Or should I just use the UK twitch stream?

 

[Tesseract]

I could see that being in the Direct.
