Do we know how long the Smash direct is? I'm working from 4PM UK time so I'll likely miss some of it.

It can't be longer than 20 minutes.

 

[Neifirst]

Yup, this isn't a Nintendo Direct and the way the select games to be presented there reflects this. I'm expecting Xenoblade X to show up in trailer form only, finally debuting English VO and then English gameplay at Treehouse live for the first time.

If Nintendo really wanted to hype up Xenoblade X, they'll reveal Doll amiibo. I'm still hopeful for Star Fox puppet amiibo too.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

To be fair, it's not like he decided to skip last year...his body decided for him.

That rumor just won't die, its not true.
Its because NO HARDWARE at this years E3 and next week investor meeting that needs all his attention.

[Finalow]

interested in the (return of the) championships, not much in the rest.

my Kappa is ready

I mean body

I can't imagine the smash direct taking that long. What is there to show, a few DLC characters, a couple of stages, pricing, update changes, sakurai draining the souls of the people who let the leak happen.

 

[OmegaSmash]

I'm looking forward to seeing how they're going to introduce the Heihachi, Jacky and Akira costumes. Those were the weirdest things about the leak really

and honestly makes me want to buy Mii costumes for the first time

Nintendo should hire From Software to make a Metroid game.

People should stop acting like you can throw From at anything and get good results. Sure, they discovered (well, sorta) a basic formula that some people enjoy, and have been milking it without any dramatic changes ever since, but that does not mean that they can make a good Metroid or Zelda. Making a hard Metroid game is not difficult at all (hell, if enemies in Zelda were more agressive and did more damage people would think they're playing a Souls game), and it also does not guarantee that the game will be good.

 

[Rösti]

I have been hoping for Nintendo to launch the E3 2015 press site, but nothing has shown up yet. Last year they enabled the press site five days prior to the Digital Event. I just got a 403 Forbidden from http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/E32015/ though, and that hasn't happened in a while (haven't gotten that response, only 404, since several weeks back). It's random though, so you may get both 404s and 403s.

I'll keep an eye on it and as I have access to the press site I'll post if any details emerge from there as well.

 

[maxcriden]

Yea Yoshi won't be in the Digital Event. That's gonna be on Treehouse only, safe bet, I'd say.

Especially as it was in the Japanese Direct two weeks ago and has had significant Twitter and Youtube coverage over the past two weeks.

Since they're pushing the Digital Event internationally, we'll only see fleeting bits of it and Xenoblade, if they're in it at all

I'd be surprised if they put this in the Digital Event, other than in some sort of "other upcoming games" reel.

Just about everything is known about the Yoshi game now, since the marketing for both NoE and Japan is well on the way. Many journalists have already played the full game. And they did the reveal in last year's Digital Event, as well as having a playable demo at E3.

Yup, this isn't a Nintendo Direct and the way the select games to be presented there reflects this. I'm expecting Xenoblade X to show up in trailer form only, finally debuting English VO and then English gameplay at Treehouse live for the first time.

You guys seem pretty sure! Especially you, Moon. 😃

I mean, I hope you're right and that they get minimal exposure in the Direct because so much info is out there already about both, but given that both are significant releases for Nintendo this year I'm just trying to temper my expectations a bit in case they take up more of the show than I'm hoping for. I'd think we'd at least get brief glimpses or trailers of both in the Direct so they can announce release dates, but maybe those will just come elsewhere in the show. Either way, here are the emotions I hope to feel during the Direct, presented in Emoji form: 🎮🎌🎄🎅

Checking the OP helps. Your city is on this table.

I can see my house from here!

thanks, sorry

This thread will come in handy. Get hype.

 

[danwu]

Smash direct is almost here, my Ryu is ready !

 

[Soul Lab]

what's this youtube live: Nintendo on Monday?

 

[NSESN]

the hype
i'm really feeling it
10 minutes to go, excited to see the ryu trailler

Well, I'm just going by how they handled the D.E. last year and covering Yoshi again doesn't fit. If this were a regular Nintendo Direct I'd say the opposite, for example.

 

[Red Hood]

Fuck it, I'm not doing anything right now, might as well watch the stream. Here's hoping it's more than just Roy and Ryu.

 

[Xenoboy]

I don't think either that Yoshi will show up. Last year they had MP10 outside of the D.E and there isn't much to say about it during the D.E this time. They already went to the yarn shop, how could they outdo that?

 

[ArtHands]

woohoo it starts!

Didn't see this in the OP, but here's a website that auto-detects your timezone and displays the E3 schedule in your time.

Sorry if it was already posted somewhere in this thread.

I'll add it, but this thread is more to reconcile all the events (and their individual threads/events) rather than just the Nintendo Digital event itself (which will be done by BY2K). Moreover, this thread does not concern the other E3 conferences. This link is better inserted in Rosti's thread (which covers all conferences).

Thanks though, very useful!

I don't like third-party characters in Smash, but I gotta admit, Ryu looked pretty damn awesome. Soundtrack brought memories back as well.

Tekken X street fighter going to be there calling it

<4 hours until NWC!

 

[Nanashrew]

Nintendo's Periscope is up https://www.periscope.tv/w/aE3byzI1MTM2ODF8MjMyNjYyNziXabDrTq9S1VBFCGdBWppLFnWY_mlm8OI7swpzxSv2ng==

EDIT: nvm. I was too late. It's now down and they were talking about the event and were outside with all the fans getting ready to go into the theater.

 

[Revven]

Is no one doing an OT for the NWC specifically???

Oh, yeah, I see what you mean, that certainly does make sense. Here's hoping!

Yeah, that is hard to imagine. Speaking of which, I'm so glad we're getting real Yarn Yoshis!

There should be. Hmm .

The 'details' thread seems to be morphing into an OT.

I'm gonna cuddle with all three of them every night

Don't worry, someone's posting an OT soon.

So, no leaked pics of Nintendo's booth so far? Dissapointed...

 

[thefro]

There is going to be a Nintendo stream as part of Twitch's E3 coverge from 2:30 PM-3:00 PM PT today (so 2 1/2 hours after the Youtube stream with Geoff)

Catch #Nintendo LIVE from #E3 this Monday, 6/15, as part of YouTube & Twitch’s E3 coverage from the convention floor.

No, 6 minutes or so.

Twitch in about 3 hours.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Any hints that Nintendo may be releasing the New 3DS over here?

Samus :'( We're not getting a new Metroid right? Sigh. Everything was Blastball.

 

[kirby_fox]

Do we have direct links yet for where to watch after it's over? I unfortunately have work tomorrow morning and won't be able to watch it until much later.

There will definitely be a Yoshi trailer in the DE. We don't even have an official date for NA yet.

They should debut Detective Pikachu with Geoff, it would be hillarious.

 

[Volotaire]

As expected, nothing much. You can't expect new exclusive demos a day before the digital event.

That enthusiasm from Geoff lol.
