[Diddy Kong]

It's goin downnnnnnn!

[TheNatural]

HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Kyou]

they're giving less and less notice

soon it will be "Nintendo to host Nintendo Direct at the end of this sentence."

[noobasuar]

HEEEELLLLL YEAH

[Seda]

yay

[Jaded Alyx]

...The hell?

And I demand more random fruit.

[hosannainexcelsis]

Can't wait for all those games they didn't have time for at E3!

[cacildo]

ai ai ai...

[TerryWogan]

Lots of people yaying, but what's the significance of this? Are they announcing anything new?

[EloquentM]

OH GOD NOOO

[Smashkirby]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaah! It's on, baby!

[Brazil]

Every single time life is shit, Nintendo comes in and announces a Nintendo Direct presentation.

Thank you based Iwata.

[Truth101]

My ban ended right before Nintendo announces their real E3.

Hype!

[linko9]

What could they possibly have to say so soon after E3? Guess we won't have to wait long to find out.

[Hero of Legend]

LOL don't you love out out of nowhere these are?! :D

More Wii U news p-p-p-please?

[Khold]

Time to learn more about games NoA may decide to ignore.

Well, still going to be optimistic. Hopefully there's interesting stuff

[EmCeeGramr]

This is turning into 8-4's "NINTENDO DIRECT IN 5 MINUTES" thing.

[AGITΩ]

2 Nintendo Directs in 1 month? Nintendo bringing the GUNS.

[Talladega Knight]

dropeth thy bomb.

[Cymbal Head]

"Oh by the way, here's all the stuff you wanted to see at e3." :shrugface

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Here comes the hype. And, inevitably, some form of disappointment. But it wouldn't be Nintendo with just a little bit!

[Clipper]

I'll prepare one of my time zone charts. Do we know if there will be an English version done like the last few?

[methodman]

this shit comes out of nowhere, lol

[The Boat]

I look forward to seeing disappointed people.

[Busaiku]

They'll bring the goods!

[NateDrake]

Is the Japanese titles E3 thing Iwata talked about?

[Hero of Legend]

My ban ended right before Nintendo announces their real E3. Hype!

Good to have you back! :)

[jokkir]

HYPE RISING...

[Electivirus]

These things are always so sudden. O_O

[StreetsAhead]

Huh, was expecting next week to not clash with BW2's release.

Looking forward to more details on Brain Training and non-specific action banana madness

[A Human Becoming]

"Oh by the way, here's all the stuff you wanted to see at e3. :shrugface"

A man can dream.

Pro tip: Low expectations will lead to less disappointment.

[Kyou]

This is turning into 8-4's "NINTENDO DIRECT IN 5 MINUTES" thing.

"Nintendo direct in OH SHIT FIVE MINUTES AGO DUDE GO WATCH IT"

[Anth0ny]

CHOO CHOO


8-4 was right. Next, they're gonna announce it 10 minutes in advance.

Edit: ninja'd so hard

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

:0

[Penguin]

Is the Japanese titles E3 thing Iwata talked about?

I can only imagine that's what it is, unless going to detail the 3DS' summer line-up

Didn't hear about Devil Training or whatever

[darkressurection]

Pretty soon they will be showing the Nintendo Direct videos, then announcing them.

[Lambtron]

Is the Japanese titles E3 thing Iwata talked about?

This is my guess. Here's hoping!

[Hero of Legend]

So perhaps in 24 hours? Googling "Current Japan Time" says it's past noon now.

[Coldplay619]

GODAMMIT LOOOOOOOOL

NINTENDO OUTTA NOWHERE

[vareon]

This is completely random. Not even a month after E3!

[hatchx]

So what time is that for the rest of the world?

I wonder if we'll get a taste of japanese development on Wii U.


IE Capcom, Square-Enix, Konami.

[GrizzNKev]

Happy to see Nintendo responding to reactions to their E3 performance with immediacy. Smart move.

[mugurumakensei]

Happy to see Nintendo responding to reactions to their E3 performance with immediacy. Smart move.

I'm pretty sure this was planned before E3.

[AGITΩ]

Is it only a Japanese one, or is the EU and US getting their own separate ones as well? If not...HERE COMES THE JAPANESE ORIENTED WII U TITLES WE DIDNT GET AT E3.

[EmCeeGramr]

Note that the site mentions Wii and 3DS, not Wii U.

[PixyJunket]

Welp. I'm staying up a little late tomorrow.

[LiK]

how many more Nintendo Directs are there this year?

[chickdigger802]

Curious what they can show. Retro thing was mentioned to not be show-able yet.

A bit early to talk about price and date eh?

[backlot]

Only 24 hours to hype. Let's go, guys!
