Anybody able to blow up the reflection of that room? You can see the TV reflecting off the glass behind the guy when they turn.

The reflection is just MK8, guessing they are just playing while other stuff is going on (or they're playing the DLC stuff).

Seriously. They could tell us about one new feature and I'd be thrilled.

But you know, I'd be cool with a new trailer too.

aonuma comes out holding a 3DS

"today i'd like to talk about a zelda game very close to my heart. this game was quite divisive when it was released, but it's gained quite a loyal fanbase. in this nintendo direct presentation, i'd like to reveal, directly to you, a second chance to experience this title for the first time all over again"


trailer plays


that's right fools it's zelda game & watch 3D

This is an amazing idea.

Yeap, I see it.

Hopefully Iwata just talks about Amiibos. I'm already buying them, so now I'd like to know what they actually do.

Just imagine if Iwata announced a fully 3D, open-world Pokemon title on Wii U.

I silently shed a tear because for God knows whatever reason it's not happening.

What Wii U needs now more than anything, is a defining FPS(/FPA)... so i'll be waiting for that Metroid Prime U announcement Iwata.

While that specific thing apparently has nothing to do with the Direct, it seems like the press already has their hands on MK8 DLC.

This is from a Gamespot video and they censored it, but didn't censor the reflection.

The thing is, he talks about a Nintendo (3)DS game that they are demoing, so they might've been playing the MK8 DLC but the embargo seemed to be linked to a 3DS title...or something 3DS related. The reflection is just the MK8 menu screen so no hint there.

Isn't that the menu background for multiplayer?

Edit: beaten by a slide :p

I know the description of the Direct says Spring 2015, but Nintendo has gone against what they've said a direct was gonna be about before

Off the top of my head

What Nintendo said:
Watch a new #NintendoDirectNA tomorrow at 7am PT for updates on #WiiU and Nintendo #3DS games coming later this year.

What we got:
Pretty much that... followed by a surprise reveal for a Kirby 3DS game next year

What Nintendo said:
Join us on 18/12 at 3pm CET for a #NintendoDirectEU focusing on #WiiU & Nintendo #3DS titles releasing by spring 2014


What we got:
All of that, plus a reveal for Hyrule Warriors which clearly didn't fit the criteria for Spring 2014

Also, I think Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D was revealed during what was supposed to be a Luigi focused Direct.

Anyone else have any examples, because I'm sure I missed out on a few.

Yepper, it's why I don't take every word at face value, they almost always throw a legit surprise that wouldn't fit the date criteria.
 
Predictions time? Predictions time.

- Smash Bros. (
Duck Hunt Duo
trailer)
- Lots of Amiibos. Maybe it's time for those Toad and Toadette Amiibos.
- Mario Kart 8 DLCs
- Pokémon OR/AS
- Xenoblade X
- Project S.T.E.A.M.
- Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem
- Majora's Mask
- Pikmin shorts in the Japanese version
- Various localizations in the western version (Ace Attorney, Fatal Frame 5, Yokai Watch, Final Fantasy Explorers...?)
- Paper Mario Wii U

What am I supossed to see here besides the Mario Kart 8 menu?

You don't see anything, but you hear him talk about a Nintendo (3)DS game they are demoing behind closed doors that's under embargo that they can't show. The reflection of MK8 is unrelated, unless they're also demoing the DLC but that's speculation.

A Zelda trailer would surprise me. I kind of expect not to see it until E3 and for it to slip into 2016, but if we saw it earlier, I would start to believe it'll actually make 2015.

- First in-game footage of Link in MK8 + release date of DLC
- Hyrule Warriors Twilight Princess Pack info (new character reveal)
- Duck Hunt Smash Trailer
- Majora's Mask 3D
- Splatoon info
- Yoshi's Wooly World info
- Mario Maker info
- New Remaster

And...

Pls, Nintendo. I need to see more of this!
 
I think it would be smart of Nintendo to start marketing toward 2015 now.

They made a huge mistake last year where they only focused on Mario 3D World. They need to give Christmas buyers assurances more awesome stuff is coming.

So, realistically, tomorrow, we should expect info on:
Sonic Boom
MK8 DLC/Amiibo support (already leaked)
Captain Toad
All Q1 2015 games (yoshi, kirby, splatoon, mario maker?)
Xenoblade N3DS

Hopeful for:
Last smash bros newcomer trailer
duck hunt
Info on star fox (and project giant robot/guard?)
Xenoblade X
Some unannounced game?

Super stretching it:
Zelda info
Metroid

I see.
I asked because it wouldn't be the first time someone from the press fucks up the name of the consoles/games so I thought he probably didn't know what the heck he's talking about.

Here's hoping someone at NCL is clever enough to realise this and starts doing so with Splatoon. Followed by X. Then StarFox.

Yes, this. They have a decent amount of people potentially about to make the plunge and by a Wii U for Smash/MK8 this holiday - showing off the Wii U's line-up post-holiday (and the variety) could help convince a few more people to jump in and better, help convince people to keep paying attention to the system post-holiday.

Heh yeah I guess we'll find out tomorrow, but it's fun to add some more speculation to the mix. I wonder what it could be.
 
Xenoblade Cross and Hyrule Warriors DLC is a given, still not sure about DHD trailer. would like to see some Splatoon news. Sad that I can't watch the stream this time. :(

All they need is Zelda.

Not really, but still...

I wonder if Yoshi, Kirby, Splatoon, or Mario Maker will hit January/February. I'd honestly be somewhat surprised if they did.

ONE of those has to, i'd hope. Definitely not all. Nintendo is usually on a 'one game every other month... except for holidays' schedule.

To be honest, Yoshi could easily be August, with Splatoon in October and Mario Maker in November, I mean I know that sounds ridiculous but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

Also I want multiple playable characters for Mario Maker, like Peach and Luigi, and Rosalina.

I definitely think Yoshi is gonna be the first big title of 2015 (bar Capt Toad for EU) and that it will be February at the latest.
