[Nosgoroth]

Three-monitor multitasking mode ready. Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush just arrived in the mail. Popcorn ready.

It's not a regular Direct, but my body is ready. Bring the demo, Nintendo!

 

[emb]

Glad I forgot about this until now. Always pleasant to get surprised by a Direct.

Hoping for a beta, at the very least.

you are hoping "at the very least" for something that Nintendo has never done before?
so, "at best" what are you hoping for? free Wii U deluxe Splatoon bundle set for every single one of us watching the Direct?

 

[jariw]

Which stream will be best? YouTube or Twitch?

 

[Sterok]

Hope we get some nice surprises. Considering previous Directs, this seems likely.

What the hell is with that foot, man?

 

[Litri]

HYPE???

 

[Cindro]

Is it too late to board the hype train? What's that - "of course it isn't"??

Alright then - CHOO CHOO

Spoiler

SPLAT

!

 

[J@hranimo]

Alright got the stream up on my Wii U, I'm ready to be wowed again Nintendo. Don't let me down!

 

[Kouichi]

I've got my chromecast set up and I'm ready to go!

 

[Raitaro]

Already have the game + the two amiibo pre-ordered (sigh...) but I still look forward to watch this direct. It will be a nice birthday afternoon activity in fact.

I'm hoping they'll announce some things like bonus modes (perhaps involving Mario + Fludd), gameplay modes and/or single player content.

On the other hand, nintendo has never done a team based online shooter before. Some kind of stress test could be a good thing, so I get why he asks for it.

I'm hoping they'll announce some things like bonus modes (perhaps involving Mario + Fludd), gameplay modes and/or single player content.

Have the game on preorder, so whatever they show can only make me happier, but a mario sunshine link with this would help the sales - so I'll join you in hoping they announce something like that.

 

[Bahlor]

Here we go! Almost there.

- Live-Stream open √
- Coffee √
- NeoGaf topic open √

I'm really excited

The upper limit of my hope is "Free Splatoon for anyone who's bought at least 15 full retail games digitally on Wii U". But I'm not expecting that.

I just want the formal opportunity to tell Nintendo this game needs voice chat, matchmaking and custom games BADLY.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Damn it, I should really work on my assignments instead of watching but I can't help myself.

 

[Neoxon]

I'm on campus eating breakfast while I watch the Direct. I'm ready.

Which reminds me, where the hell is Etika's reaction stream?

 

[chadboban]

Sweet! Will be sure to tune in.

 

[woopWOOP]

How long is this Direct? Gonna have to rewatch later, but might be able to catch glimpses of it running in the background.

e: Or not. Guess campus blocked Twitch streaming, hah.
I'll have to F5 this thread for the latest updates instead :V

 

[Crayolan]

Woke up just for this. 33 minutes seems like a good sign, they better have lots to share.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Fingers crossed for Mario Sunshine and Pikmin! That would be a reason to buy.

 

[DoubleYou]

So ready for this. Let's go.

 

[kuroneko0509]

33 min for NA, 35 min for JP, unknown for EU

I'm totally with you on matchmaking and custom games, but free splatoon for everyone with 15+ games would be a bit much.

I personally hope we get some kind of limited edition / beta upfront. That would be great!

 

[butalala]

Woke up just for this. 33 minutes seems like a good sign, they better have lots to share.

They're going to need a lot of time to highlight the Inkling DLC for Mario Kart and Smash Bros.

 

[Litri]

33 min for NA, 35 min for JP, unknown for EU

Mmmmm, sweet!

 

[KingSnake]

Fingers crossed for Mario Sunshine and Pikmin! That would be a reason to buy.

Don't overhype yourself, this is less likely to happen.

 

[Dr. Buni]

They're going to need a lot of time to highlight the Inkling DLC for Mario Kart and Smash Bros.

That would be a good motivation to go back to Smash. The latest news and rumors killed my mood for the game.

 

[random25]

3 more minutes!

 

[Pachimari]

Do we know how long this Direct is gonna be?

 

[Jintor]

Been working on this for the past half hour or so

 

[SweetDonuts]

Didn't realise you could hide the chat on Twitch, suddenly the site becomes more tolerable.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Don't overhype yourself, this is less likely to happen.

Well then I can safely know I'll be saving $60, so it works out either way

 

[HeavyMetalLover91]

Demo incoming pls

Spoiler

With a Smash trailer at the end right? Will take an assist and stage

 

[Neoxon]

That would be a good motivation to go back to Smash. The latest news and rumors killed my mood for the game.

If I may ask, why?

 

[j.rob]

Splatoon hype!

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

If a smash trailer is at the end, Ill lose my shit.

 

[GWX]

Do we know how long this Direct is gonna be?

33 minutes long. Excite!

edit: NVM, beaten.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

CHOO

MOTHERFUCKING

CHOO,

BABY!

AWWW YEAH!!

Spoiler

And here I am at work with no headphones, yet again. Damn

 

[butalala]

I don't want to go too far off topic, but what rumors and news are you talking about? maybe PM me something?

 

[Gabe3208]

Damn, I was just calling it earlier this day.

So, GIF-Time, I guess?

OMG, that first gif, lol. What is that from?

 

[Bahlor]

Do we know how long this Direct is gonna be?

A few posts earlier by kuroneko0509 33 min for NA, 35 min for JP, unknown for EU

 

[Cindro]

T MINUS 60 SECONDS

 

[Orakio Rob]

I hope this will be horrible and everybody will hate the game in the end.

...

Dollars are very expensive here in Brazil right now and I'll spend some serious cash in this thing if it's great.

 

[vareon]

from jp twitter, heh

The art is so good.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Hoping for a demo. And it begins

 

[SmithnCo]

Starting.

 

[NinjaTehFish]

My internal shell is ready.
