So if there is indeed a Nintendo Direct broadcast next week, the announcement of it won't come before Sunday the 19th of January I assume.

EXCITE!
That looks pretty good, I'd probably would have tried to have a mild background image instead of white background, but that looks really good.

It'll be announced exactly 24hours beforehand just like usual. Traditionally 3pm GMT / 7am PST on Tuesday or Wednesday.
They've been using blank white backgrounds for MKWii and MK7.
Didn't you make that one though? No need to stick to that if you feel it would have looked better otherwise (don't know if you prefer white backgrounds or not)
Yea I made the fake one. I was just going for what they would probably do with the artwork I had available. And I'm not a photoshop wizard so my ability to make up stuff for the background was limited
Btw, I actually edited it right after posting because I initially had the original background still in there. Comparison:

I see! Looking at both I personally think the one with sky background looks a lot better.
Aw yea!
So, according to Nintendo France and based on their researches, there're 10M people interested in MK8, in France. Dat placeholder packshot effect.
Here you go:
EXCITE!
It's what I expect it to be. Consistent with the series boxart since MKDS, shows the new mechanic, shows good visuals as well as showing poor Luigi about to slip
.I don't see myself running out to buy Donkey Kong which is part of the problem. I bought every other release at launch though, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, New Super Luigi, 3D World, Zelda Wind Waker HD, etc. but I just don't see myself running out to play DK. :<
Gimme Mario Kart asap please
I really just need to play what I have, I have barely played any of them :/
Whaaat? I'm gonna wake up, eat a banana and roll-jump my way to the store DAY 1 (you know, cuz I wanna be there as fast as possible
). Shit's gonna be so great! AWWW YEAH! 10 million French men can't be wrong.
What is that in US dollars lol

Considering how simple the boxarts for MK Wii an 7 were, I doubt the boxart for MK 8 will have much going for it.

I really don't like bananas that much anymore, and I can't roll-jump terribly well at all (I've tried) but I will be there DAY 1!

Those fake box-arts for MK8 are pretty great, wouldn't mind them being real!. It made me watch the recent trailer again to remind me how brilliant the game will be.
How will this translate into sales? I bet.... 1M
Three frozen bananas.
They sent Ideaman their survey and he accidentally sent it back 10 million times after falling asleep on the ENTER key and misreading Mario Kart as "MacDonald's."

There is 66M people living in France, that seems quite a lot.
I'm curious how they conducted their research, I wasn't asked personally
Mario Kart 8 is Nintendo's biggest bet (and penultimate chance of recover) I'm sure they'll promote the shit out of it.
They always go big on the safe bets. See Mario 3D World.
Sweet!

Just start working out, then you'll like bananas again
P), or just start further practising roll-jumping in DKC:R (either by using the wiimote only = strong, short waggle + immediately A or the same with nunchuck only + immediately A; you can also do a strong, short waggle with both and then fast-press A, too) Anyway, I just hope the difficulty of "Returns" stays - at least - the same in "Tropical Freeze". Nothing more fun and satisfying than challenging gameplay within superb, difficult, yet never unfair leveldesign.
1 Million for France would be huge. That would mean a huge upswing in WiiU sales.

So think DKCR3D. Buy the balloon and help items if you have trouble, if you want pain and suffering, don't.

Cool with that, my kids could not enjoy DKCR on Wii.

I totally agree. BTW, I do work out! I still feel pretty over bananas these days, though!
(Also, I am okay at roll-jumping in the game, just terrible at it in real life!)

How is your real life ground pound, though? That's the important part.
Pretty good, but not as good as my cat's hard-A jump (whatever you call the jump where you get more height).
He's a him, his name is Eli. He doesn't need any boots. He can do the shinespark all on his own. (I was talking about the jump in DKCR, though.)

Yeah, that was one of the few criticisms of the first game. For some lesser experienced players the game was a bit too hard. Just hope you won't be able to spam it (kong pow) too much.
Mario Kart 8 will be so fun, I didn't care for Mario Kart Wii much
Since it wasn't that long ago that I played the previous game it doesn't have much interest for me now.

About the guy who works at gameblog among other things and talked about a 3rd party exclusive game, lately he posted a pic with Miyamoto and said it was on that day he learned about the secret game, which I find weird because apparently it was from two years ago and it kinda contradict the way he wrote that he was told about it last december.
Though development time wise it makes sense but the two contradicting statements seem fishy.

Interesting. Link?
I don't even know if there's a 3DS Games 2014 thread, so I don't know where to put this, but the Korean 3DS Direct is airing in 5 minutes if I'm not mistaken:

Expect nothing.

I personally hated Mario Party 9. The minigames were fine, but the boards were terrible and it was frustrating with computers. Perhaps I would have liked it much more if I ever played it with people, but I never got the opportunity to =(.
Dude, those were AIs with no independent thought. Of course everyone's HUDs pop up at once; the AIs don't get to decide if they want to enter battle or not. Like I've edified upon twice already, if an independent human player entered a battle, why would the rest of the party members' battle HUDs pop up? C'mon, that doesn't make a lick of sense. I can't do a better job of explaining this to you, and it's really not something hard to understand.
Evidently not. As we all saw in the beginning, you had to be extremely close behind for an appendage to show up, much less the entire model (and notice how the pigtails girl doesn't show up at all). It's the exact same situation in the above shots. I'm not going to go through every single instance of this happening and offer this as an explanation; it should be a given by now.
It's really not that odd, or odd enough that it requires grand questioning. If the players maintain a proportional and constant distance between each other while moving, it would easily explain why the green diamonds don't move.
They don't have the same color scheme. The woman has red and black in (practically) equal proportions on her armor, while the bulky man's is predominantly silver/grey with tiny hints of black between segments of the armor. Anyways, I highly doubt they're the same.
That is a wild stretch, I think. Would they really update something that'd only end up getting changed in the end? That doesn't make for a strong argument.
I'm thinking more along the lines of an unspoken class system, once again, like Xenoblade. Riki and Melia were implicit mages, Reyn was an offensive/defensive tank, Sharla was a healer, and so forth. But they have done classes in Soma Bringer, so it's a definite possibility.
Well, I was considering the first teaser mostly when I made the suggestion. There's was clear gamma/brightness overkill in that one (well, the quality of captured footage was terrible in general), so it was definitely not representative of how the game would look.
Untouched screenshot:
Cropped framebuffer grab (probably):
Not important anymore, seeing as how the quality of the footage has been improved a bit, but just saying.
As I and others have pointed out, this is a regular occurrence in JRPGs. They leave you to play solo many a time (and not for necessarily short durations, either). Some do this almost every time a new character joins the party. There's nothing that warrants suspicion there.
Huh? There were only usernames in the chat log... Not sure what you're saying or where you're getting that from. Might have to elaborate or rephrase.
Let me preface this by saying I think there will be Doll customization (paint jobs, minimally). But the above in an immensely fallacious assertion; it's a redux of the different characters = customization argument. Inferno 01 is very likely a different model in the series of Infernos (or vice versa), thus the 01, which is standard mech nomenclature used to denote such things (for example, EVA Unit 00, 01, and 02 from Evangelion, or the VF 27 being a variant of the VF 25 from Macross Frontier), so that's hardly evidence of customization.
Well, it's fine if you want to stop and I won't pressure you to continue, but... I won't, because I'm all but certain it's going to play out the way I see it (mostly, anyway), and at this point, it's only a matter of time before I hear it all from the horse's mouth. In any case, I appreciate that you took the time to write out elaborate, lengthy responses to try and explain yourself.
Surprisesssss
Need a megaton Direct >.<
Also, they talk about P&D, gives me hope for a localization.
Sorry to hear it, ZSL! I personally loved MP9 and found it to be much better than other recent iterations. I do like the classic board game structure of Wii Party U but I think the way they revamped the structure for MP9 with everyone moving together was great. The Boo board in particular was awesome. I wonder if you would have a much better time playing it with other people, I'm sorry you did not get a chance to. Personally I really do not enjoy playing Mario Party games against the CPU. I used to do it as a kid with the first couple MP games and it was not terribly fun for me. Granted I did only play subsequent MPs with my wife and two CPU players, but just having one other person in the mix really does change the game. Anyway, you are more than welcome to join in on a game of Mario Party 9 next time you're in Vermont, same goes for anyone else in the thread!

Yeh, then again it probably was the first Mario Party in a long time that I played by myself. I do actually have friends over playing games more often these days, but we've been too busy playing Brawl, Mario 3D World & Nintendo Land to try Mario Party 9 with people haha. Maybe I'll get around to it eventually.
