Nintendo Direct: new presentation (over) (Wii U / 3DS)

Not a bad Direct, but I couldn't help but find some of it... lackluster. Maybe I'm just bitter and cynical right now.

"To show our support for Indies, here's a Commander Video trophy that took us a grand total of three minutes to port over a model, pose, and write a description for!"

"Hey, Pikmin movies! They're short, only about twenty minutes. Five bucks a piece! No crossbuy!"

Splatoon looks freaking sweet though, I am very excited for that. I'm stoked that it has a single player campaign - that's all I needed to know to secure my purchase.

Also I am now officially locked in to buying the Link Amiibo because of the Spinner. Damn you, Nintendo!

Aren't the movies all in one bundle? I can't check the eShop because of crappy internet...

That's not realtime at all tho.

I only played the demo on PS3, but isn't it as turn based as Valkyria Chronicles and STEAM? First you move, then the enemy moves, if you cross paths there're automatic actions taking place. Where's the difference?

Finally got the internet sorted out so I could check out the movies. Don't have the funds for it right now, but the Trailer made them look really good (and HORRIFYING.)
 
$5 for all three. They are all really good. 20 minutes in total, thereabouts.
Wait, there are THREE videos? Okay, five bucks for 60 minutes of content + whatever bonuses (they mentioned storyboards) is way more reasonable. I thought it was short films that, all together, totaled 20 minutes.
 
This is easy to forget with all the other cool stuff too, but STEAM looks so amazing. They weren't kidding about how it looked better in motion!

For me:
-Now I will finally play Majora's Mask.
-Racing suits. LMAO okay Nintendo you keep trying to get me to use those Miis. The MK8 levels look sweet tho. Already had all the DLC preordered.
-Wanted co-op amiibo partner in HW like in Smash. Oh well. The amiibo I'm getting is Zelda, and they aren't necessarily going to reveal series 2 unlocks, so hopefully hers gets something better than rupees.
-Rumor of amiibo pack-in with Smash now seeming definitely untrue.
-Captain Toad still looks amazing.
-NES Remix 3DS, Duck Hunt VC, Pikmin videos... whatever. I will try the Pikmin 3 demo, which will probably just confirm that I want it for less than $60 rather than push me over the edge. Price drop would have been a good idea here, especially after giving it out for free with MK8 earlier this year.
-Kirby and the Rainbow Curse looks boring for both single and multiplayer gaming. I would say $20 for that, yet could maybe relent to Nintendo pricing for $30, but it will probably actually be $50. Sorry, nope.
-Where is Yoshi's Wolly World? Wasn't that set for spring? Mario Party for summer?
-Indies on Wii U. I don't get most of it because it's cheaper and better on PC, so for me it'd be good to push exclusives, yet I know indies actually sell really well on Wii U for some reason.
-I'm still ambivalent about Codename S.T.E.A.M. and X.
-Splatoon doesn't appeal to me at all. Do not understand the hype.

I think you got it right the first time...
 
lol @ the Flipnote part.

I made these using Flipnote don't you know.... whats that? Oh you don't have Flipnote? That's too bad, I have it. Its really good!
 
Well, after seeing the MK8 DLC, Splatoon, and Captain Toad, I decided to buy a Wii U refurb. I just don't think I can last much longer missing so many great Nintendo games.

Did I see an SNES-themed 3DS XL at some point?
You probably saw a New 3DS, the regular models have Super Famicom/Euro SNES-colored buttons.

Just watched the short pikmin movies on 3DS i love the 3D effect, someone needs to rip that vid in the omake section & turn it into a "deal with it" meme. It's the short real3D intro when it played at the cinema in 3D and they all have 3D specs drop onto their faces.

It's just perfect for a meme.

There's an NES-themed 3DS XL. It was shown playing NES Remix. The system looks like dog shit. There's a picture of the NES controller on the top of the system. Because that makes sense.

Oh you're right

The buttons looked a little more purple on my phone. Bleh/meh don't want the old 3DS anyways.

...what were you expecting if I may ask?

Something that we didn't already know about?
More VC stuff, N64?, third party VC? But all they give us is duck hunt?

Some overpriced pikmin movies?

I dunno I was expecting a surprise, Majora's mask is great but it's not enough.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I bought the Pikmin shorts shameless I know but they are really cute.

I hope Nintendo delves into the animation business. There is so much potential.
 
@above: It's probably a pikpik carrot. He has a tiny monologue when he lands in pikmin one about how he's naming them pikmin because they look like those things, his favorite food.

When you see fredrancour let him know that I said....... "I was wrong."

It's cool. "Nintendo-gaf was reading too hard into things and saw clues when there were none" was not an unreasonable way to look at the internet.

I'm going to get the Pikmin shorts once I buy a Wii U for Smash. The trailer sold me on it.

Holy shit Miyamoto

Thought it was meh TBH. Was expecting a teaser of Metroid, Zelda or aomething else. Sorta pumped for Majora's Mask and Xenoblade. Other than that, Nintendo needs more pizzazz, or look at resurrecting old IP's. I'd kill for a new Star Tropics.

"Nintendo needs more new things!" "Nintendo should revive old things!"
