Well we all know Nintendo considers up til June spring time, so lets hope we get dates for stuff up until the second half of 2015. Not really expecting any new game announcements, I'll be happy with release dates.

I know you're joking, but--I presume they mean the quarterly spring, so titles releasing before the end of March 2015.

So, my predictions:

Capt. Toad - Jan (EU)
SNES Remix - Jan (eShop)
Yoshi's Woolly World - Feb
Mario Maker - March

That's for Wii U, though. For 3DS, I really have no idea. I don't think we'd be getting S.T.E.A.M. until later on next year. Maybe Fossil Fighters in March? Maybe a new eShop Wario Ware?

 

[Majukun]

They already announced $300 bundles, there won't be a price drop. The $200 refurbished is the best you'll be able to get, really.

I don't live in the US though

 

[Cbajd5]

She did

SHULK CONFIRMED FOR SMASH

 

[Aaronrules380]

YESYESYES! Too bad I'll probably still be taking a makeup test at that time unless I can finish it really quickly D:

 

[OneUh8]

Oh yeah. And yes it would be so amazing if they did Metroid Prime trilogy HD.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Who is she? Should I get more hyped?

She's Tetsuya Takahashi's wife, being involved in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Everytime there's a Direct announcement that she retweeted, XenoX will be in it.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I don't think I could handle it if the direct had info on Xenoblade X, Splatoon, Yoshi, and Code Name STEAM coming all in one.

 

[Zalman]

SHULK CONFIRMED FOR SMASH

Haha, no way that's ever gonna happen.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

I don't want to get hyped, buuuuuut...

If Vanquish 2

 

[maxcriden]

Are we going to get DAT Fire Emblem x SMT footage ? ;D
N64 AND DS games on virtual console ?
Info on the update to use cube controllers as a substitute for Pro Controllers ?
New F-Zero Game ?

I believe they already said that was erroneous information.

 

[Tenki]

Glad to see Iwata is back. Now bring us MH4U Wii U and drop some bombs.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Zelda U
Metriod Trilogy HD
Metroid Prime 4
Smash release being brought forward anther few weeks
F-Zero U
Majora's Mask 3D
Mario Kart 8 DLC released after Direct
W102
Xenoblade
Captain Toad
Mario Universe

Do it Nintendo and I will fucking streak in my office.

 

[jacobeid]

I'm excited to see what's coming out, but mostly for the Wii U stuff. I'm about to dump my 3DS.....it's been sitting since I bought and played ALBW last year. On the other hand, the Wii U I bought in January is by and away my most played system this year

 

[Baleoce]

Some clarity over Art Academy Wii U would be nice.

 

[correojon]

We need more info on Splatoon, please!

I´d also love to see something about the new Zelda and Starfox

Let´s-a-go!

 

[TangorFopper]

She did

She retweeted also NoE original tweet.....

 

[maxcriden]

Oh, so there's a chance for Xenoblade Chronicles X to be in the spring?

FWIW, this could be in reference to a March release for XC N3DS. I would expect to see XCX in the summer in Japan and late Fall in the West.

 

[m0t0k1]

They probably going to announce the release date of MK8 DLC maybe it will be a nice surprise and release after the direct.

 

[MicH]

SHULK CONFIRMED FOR SMASH

IT'S REYN TIME

 

[Kouriozan]

She retweeted also NoE original tweet.....

Xenoblade X spring confirmed for Japan and Europe, then.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Haha, no way that's ever gonna happen.

Are you willing to Shulk all the Donkey Kongs if he is?

 

[Principate]

I don't live in the US though

The time is now for a wii u price drop, honestly Nintendo is no longer in the dogs financial wise and been the first time I've seen such positively over the consoles line-up. 2015 price would be far too late.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Hopefully they show off something for 3DS in 2015. So far they have like nothing coming for the system next year.

 

[Locamotable]

She did.

https://twitter.com/sorayasaga/with_replies

OMG xenoblade straight into my veins Nintendo please

 

[daripad]

Duck Hunt trailer incoming

I hope we get MK8 dlc dated

 

[Quadraxis]

Soraya Saga retweeted? Xenoblade X (hopefully) confirmed spring 2015! CHOOO CHOOO!!!

 

[kuroneko0509]

She retweeted also NoE original tweet.....

Yep.. just saw it. Is this the first time she did that?

Xenoblade X spring confirmed for Japan and Europe, then.

Poor Americas :lol

 

[Effect]

Who is she? Should I get more hyped?

She's a video game story writer and designer but also the wife of Tetsuya Takahashi the creator and man behind the Xeno series. She also works on those games. Whenever she retweets a Nintendo Direct announcement it's a good if not always an indicator that something Xenoblade Chronicles X based is shown.

 

[Pila]

Good. Good. I love a direct at the right time, 11 PM is nice and I can watch it. No more directs during office hours plz.

Next step: bringing back Iwata asks AKA the best kind of games journalism

You're so right, I loved them.

 

[Grizzo]

I know you're joking, but--I presume they mean the quarterly spring, so titles releasing before the end of March 2015.

So, my predictions:

Capt. Toad - Jan (EU)
SNES Remix - Jan (eShop)

Why do everybody talk about SNES Remix? Do we have any info about it or are people just taking a wild guess?

A SNES Remix would be logical but then again Nintendo can be so unpredictable at times

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Finally, surprise Directs. Thank you based Iwata <3

 

[Drago]

Some clarity over Art Academy Wii U would be nice.

It's scheduled to still release this year in Japan as per the last earnings release, so I imagine it will show up tomorrow

 

[Dead_Pixel]

Hoping Xenoblade Chronicles X is released in the 1st/2nd Q of 2015. After all, with Zelda for holiday 2015, Nintendo isn't going to want to release two massive open world games in such a close timeframe...

Now the usual "but how many minutes will it last?"
