Excited to watch but ill have to brace myself for the inevitable april's fools joke. if no new games, then at least give me SNES on 3DS
 
As much as I would love the "April fool's! Zelda is actually coming Nov 2015" idea, there's no way that'd happen. Nintendo wouldn't risk taking that stock hit just to get a few troll laughs in.

I hope we get a date for Fire Emblem IF and Xenoblade X. A new Paper Mario for Wii U in the vein of TTYD would be nice too, but i won't get my hopes too high for that :\

Was that tweet from NoA about PM5 fake? Or it was real and deleted after a few minutes?



You meant 3?

Wave Race 64
Wave Race: Blue Storm
?

Anyway yeah, i would love to see that. Even an eShop release for 19€.

It would be 4. Wave Race started as a Game Boy game.

Both Japanese and European eShop download lists are barren this week, which never happens.

We're getting something big

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
As much as I would love the "April fool's! Zelda is actually coming Nov 2015" idea, there's no way that'd happen. Nintendo wouldn't risk taking that stock hit just to get a few troll laughs in.

And a shitty joke at that. April Fools is the day you make the joke, not the day you reveal a prior joke was just that.

Still not buying that rumour. They got the date and time right, but it's not CET. And Star Fox Platinum would be too good to be true.

I'll be happy to see Mewtwo. I'll be really happy to see others come back too.

Very content that I'll be watching it at home since I am off work at 3 and can ride the train of hype until 6.

Can we please see some English footage of XCX? Even if just text, but hearing the dub would be great also.

I'm not expecting to see Metroid so soon, but hopefully at E3 they can at least show the logo.

A new Wave Race or even a remastered Wave Race: Blue Storm would be so good.

Damn I'm hyped for this!

One thing though, if E3 is focused around their 2015 releases then what's this Nintendo Direct going to focus on? :O

In any case. What I'd LIKE to see (and what would never happen) would be the announcement of Mother 4 and to see what Next Level Games and Retro Studios have been up to.

Realistically, I'm hoping to AT LEAST know the release date / window for North America and Xenoblade Chronicles X.

This Wednesday will be like the first day in forever I have to go to bed early, and of course the Direct is at 12 AM. Sigh.
 
I'll be happy to just see updates on:

-Yoshi's Woolly World
-Mewtwo DLC
-Mario Kart 8 May DLC
-Wave 4 Amiibo info (pre-order info specifically)

Anything else is just gravy.

I'm going to guess the treehouse live thing is going to be mostly for mario maker and the yoshi game.

To be fair, it's pretty easy to predict dates... I mean, at one point, one of them was going to get it right ;)

I'm OK with that. To be honest, the only Wii U games I want this year, are Yoshi's Woolly World, Mario Maker and of course, my GotY, Xenoblade Chronicles X. :p

Guess we'll see Mewtwo DLC and the Mario Kart DLC as well.

that rumor is pure sh*t, believe me (I'm an engineer)

I just want to see the Yoshi game, Nintendo hasn't really put a lot on my mind lately so it'll be a lot of refreshing for me, or maybe even new stuff, I don't know, I'm excited, I'll actually get to watch with the livestream too.
 
I think for MK/Smash...
- Mario Kart DLC release date 4-9
- More Amiibo costumes for newer/future Amiibos (Dedede, Metaknight, Zelda, Dr. Mario, Game and Watch).
- Gamecube controller support in content update for Mario Kart.
- Limited edition Smash Mewtwo Amiibo, exclusive to Gamestop.
- Mewtwo released after Direct with Miiverse, Tournament Mode, and Sharing
- Smash Balance Patch
- Miis allowed online + added to All Star. Use medium size, Multi-Man Smash skins no matter what you pick enemy won't see the Mii, it'll just use the enemy's console Miis.
- Costume pack and music pack DLCs released, buy both and get an additional bonus full Character Alt Costume. Costumes are actual costumes, not just recolors. Music are all new arrangements
- Some free music and free re-colors for Wario and Olimar/Alph added in the Mewtwo patch. Music is some music from 64/Melee/Brawl that didn't make it into release.
- Future character and stage DLC explicitly stated to not be ruled out, expect more news later in the year.
- Mewtwo, Charizard and Greninja announced for Pokken. Not announced officially, but Amiibo support with a console release seems likely.
- Pokemon Rumble announced. New Pokemon Amiibo line, small little statues, cheaper than regular Amiibos. Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Greninja, Charizard and Mewtwo Rumble Amiibos are also Smash compatible.
- Wave 5 Smash announced, Falco, Jiggly, Ganondorf, Game and Watch, Doc, Duck Hunt.
- For most games, Doctor Mario works just like Mario, similar to Toon Link.
- Special Smash wave announced, alt color trophy pose versions of Mario, Luigi, Marth, Villager, Link and Fox. Coming in July, each one is retailer exclusive and limited quantities.
