ohfuck

EDIT: nvm, basically just learning more about game we already know exist.

Can't wait to hear more about Sonic's new best buddy.

EDIT 2: Maybe we will also learn more about the Switch's online system.

 

[Team Filler]

I await the bombs.

 

[DoctorFling]

Summer is here baby

 

[fantomena]

Awww yeah.

 

[RootCause]

vc+save data backup please!


Edit

No image at the time. Still excited. Arms is going to be huge.

 

[Icolin]

Nice. Gimme those VC details too, Nintendo.

 

[Neverthelesser]

 

[secretanchitman]

Nice! Maybe a Smash 4 port announcement as well?!

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

HOLY

 

[Nirolak]

I was wondering when they would actually detail ARMS.

 

[Zedark]

Ow wow, that's soon! Splatoon 2 and ARMS are the focus as expected, interested in seeing when they will release! There must be more to be discussed, since the 3DS is mentioned as well, so maybe a few fun surprises? Woudl be nice!

 

[Weiss]

Come on Smash Switch and Pokemon Stars.

 

[JoeM86]

Nintendo of Europe's blurb

News on #NintendoSwitch & #3DS games incoming! A new #NintendoDirect airs at 23:00 BST on 12/04.

 

[oti]

Here we go again.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Waitwuuut

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Neat.

 

[phanphare]

fuck yes

"Splatoon 2"

FUCK YESSSSSS

 

[Crom]

Finally. Been waiting for this. My body is always ready

 

[ShadowElliot]

2 games I'm looking forward to! Can't wait!!!

 

[_h8bit]

Wish we would be hearing about VC but I'm not holding my breath.

That aside, I genuinely don't know what to make of ARMS so i'm excited for some new info on that front. Could be a neat game.

 

[membran]

This, of course, will be the Monster Hunter Switch announcement. And maybe the MHXX localization announcement. The Splatoon and ARMS thing is just a ruse.

 

[Kouichi]

YES

ARMS HYPE

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Yes!

 

[Dark Cloud]

Wow Rogersbase called it! He made a preemptive Nintendo Direct prediction video this week lol

 

[Monumma]

Midnight Central Europe.

#Hype.

 

[Hero]

Can't wait to see more of both games.

 

[ggx2ac]

I knew it. It was expected since it's before their next financial briefing for the next fiscal year.

 

[RootCause]

Nintendo of Europe's blurb

"3ds games coming" :/ please don't be exclusive.

 

[Maxinas]

Oh bleh nothing new.

 

[chadboban]

Nice. Hope there is at least a surprise or two besides ARMS and Splatoon 2. A new Mario Odyssey or Xenoblade 2 trailer would be welcome.

 

[thestopsign]

Boom. Super excited! I expect release dates, one more Splatoon Test Fire, and DLC plans.

 

[CronoShot]

Hoping for at least a couple new announcements. I know they need to save some for E3.

 

[Galang]

Hopefully they'll throw in a kirby announcement for MK8 as well!

I doubt we'll see any new games for Switch when e3 is so soon. Wouldn't get my hopes on for that at all..

 

[NSESN]

I don't even need new games, just dates for Arms and Splatoon and I am set.

 

[Serenitynow]

I had an inkling we would get a direct this week.

 

[BitStyle]

Yess!

Please be soon, Splatoon 2

 

[Dascu]

Here's hoping for a surprise Metroid game announcement.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Hope we get a couple other game announcements outside of Splatoon 2 and ARMS. Also would love to see a new character or two for ARMS.

 

[frankie_baby]

I doubt we'll see anything with VC for a while, give capcpom and square space to sell their snes game carts

 

[JoeM86]

"3ds games coming" :/ please don't be exclusive.

They will be, like the new Pikmin

 

[Kouriozan]

ARMS! Finally!

 

[Octavianus]

Nice, hope we're getting a release date for ARMS. Either way I'm looking forward to more details.

 

[maxcriden]

"3ds games coming" :/ please don't be exclusive.

Probably Pikmin will show up. That one is an exclusive. Nintendo did indicate continued support for the 3DS though, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more smaller exclusives.

 

[moltonasty]

KEPT YA WAITIN HUH

[shotgunbob04]

[The_Intruder]

Right on time!

 

[jonno394]

OH YEAH, ARMS release date and new characters please.

 

[ReitStuff]

Release dates for ARMS and Splatoon 2 will be nice to hear. Also 3DS? Hmmm, I wonder if we'll get any new Pikmin 3DS info.
