Metroid absolutely. Gamepad = visors. Plus, that franchise would benefit a lot from the HD Wii U graphic capabilities
If Metroid is not dormant, I'd say Star-fox, for similar reasons.
the only reliable schedule for NDirects is that...there isn't a reliable schedule for NDirects
The more logical progression would be:
Fast Racing Neo
Fast R Neo
F R Neo
F Nero
F Zero
Beste Noorderbuur, it's one of the best games on the system. Right up there with W101, Pikmin3, Zelda WW...
Looking at it like that, i don't see how one could argue with this evidence.
Ah, I like that idea a lot. I know it's been said before, but I think a new Pokemon Snap using the Gamepad would be pretty neat, a la Scuba Diving in Wii Fit U.

It's still too early to know but I would expext Friday anyway.
Let's talk again in 10 minutes.
Bellissimo, grazie!

Looks like it would detract from gameplay if I had to hold the thing up for everything.
Nope, it would've been announced 1h ago... Honestly, not sure about that Friday rumour... doesn't make sense to me. Renegade Kid never revealed anything during a Direct, and actually, I don't remember them ever showing anything there. Honestly, if we don't get anything by tomorrow, I'll just assume there won't be one this week.
I'll still be on the look out, ha ha ha.
By the way, a bit more on-topic, does anyone else get frequent console freeze when playing AC3? It's the only game ever to do that, no idea why. I hope it's not corrupting anything

It happened to me about 3 or 4 times during the whole game, it didn't corrupt anything and I finished the game
Edit: BTW, I played the retail disk version not the downloadable version
well, I disagree. Batman and Zombi already showed how great is to have the gamepad as a second screen. it's not that you have to hold that in front of the tv all the time

Wonder what's wrong then. It's not too big of a problem (doesn't happen during each session, thanks god), though it's quite random.
Re-nope. Most NDs were at 4pm in my time zone (one hour ago) and all of them were announced exactly 24h prior. The last ND was at 3pm which is probably why you're thinking one hour earlier.

Never had a freeze during AC3.

The plot thickens. Hopefully it thickens further somewhere around Kyoto.
I'm updating the bingo card as well. If a Nintendo Direct won't happen before the 29th/30th, I'll make it themed towards the Earnings Release/Corporate Management Policy Briefing. Maybe not as exciting as watching something "live", but it's something.
I expect potential Wii U/PS4/XB1 versions will be announced sometime this year for Summer-Fall 2014.

Why would mods not want X discussion in the X threads? Is it really that bad to discuss a game before it's released and what each trailer may or may not mean? That seems odd imo... I don't mind the posts onilink. I just thought it was amusing.
I'm seriously considering a WiiU purchase, but what are GAFer's thoughts on that upcoming January 30th meeting? Should I just hold off on purchasing now in case something is announced? Or do people think it's safe to buy and will be business as usual?
With a few games like The Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3, along with some more on the horizon like Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros U, and X, I finally feel like it's worth putting the money down on it, but the announcement recently spooked me back into unsure territory.

Exclusively, that means no Nintendo Direct >.<
But there is still 2 indie games to be revealed.
Wii U Direct confirmed :lol
You may as well just wait to hear what comes out of Nintendo's meeting since its so close.
The only reason I would say hold off is due to the possibility of a price drop other then that it will be business as usual and some new games announcements, all the upcoming games are still gonna come and all the games that are out now are not going anywhere.
Expected something like this.

Slightly off subject, but this picture made me think about something. Am I the only one who doesn't like using their fingers on the gamepad's touchscreen? I always use the stylus to do anything and everything in the menus/games. I don't wanna get smudges or something on it, lol.
Still think there'll be direct this Friday. IGN getting first look might just mean it'll only be in an indie "sizzle reel" in the Direct like they've done before.
Need to save room in the ND for the X gameplay and dev interview and the Zelda U theatrical trailer and the Metroid Prime vs StarTropics reveal.

It can depend, but I always find my fingers move slower on the touch screen than a stylus does. Just something about it.

Sorry for the dumb question but
Do you have the latest update?
Do you have the Wii U connected to the Internet?
Where you downloading something in the background while playing?
Most stability issues are gone after the latest update, but I remember most issues had to do with Miiverse and internet connectivity.
Iwata comes out with a white suit in a black room, black gloves, in the center of the room is a Wii U. He starts packing it into the box and says, thank you to all our customers who believed in Wii U, that is all folks, please understand!
end of direct.

It would definitely be faster and easier to use my fingers instead of the stylus, but I can't bring myself to do that.
I'm weird. D:
You're not alone! One reason why W101 pissed me off was due to forcing me to touch the screen with my fingers. Gasp! I need to get a scratch resistant cover for it.
On topic, I want X so bad. Question is, will it be more like Xenogears (loved it), Xenosaga (meh), or Xenoblade (never played)?
It's definitely more like Xenoblade. Which has less of the overly insane story (but still crazy) that Saga and Gears had, but a far faster battle system and better world to explore.

I even have a cover on the screen, but I still hate using my fingers. xD But glad I'm not alone!
I think X will be a mixture between Xenogears and Xenoblade. Obviously, Xenoblade will be the biggest influence on the game (as you can tell by how it plays), but the addition of mechs might feel more Xenogears-ish (although technically, I guess Xenosaga had mechs as well lol). Even still, it's more Xenoblade with a little bit of Xenogears mixed in from what we can tell so far. You should give Xenoblade a try - it was my game of the generation personally (it's not perfect, but it does so much right).
I think and hope you are right. I expect one Thursday or Friday. I was pretty surprised one was not announced today.

Definitely do not stop. I'm a big fan of your X-related posts. Your analysis of the information that's available can't be found elsewhere.
1) But you didn't have to use your finger. Ever. Oo
2) Xenoblade. You can see it in the videos. Combat and exploration is very similar.

Agreed. Please don't stop your X related posts, onilink88. In this huge drought of information/news about the game, I love reading them even if I can't think of much else to add (yet). Good finds.
