What are you trying to say? I wonder how reactionary this ND is. Was this something that was planned for January all along, or did they bump it up from February or March due to significant decreased sales to help generate additional buzz and excitement?

Nintendo usually does a ND every month and when they couldn't in December they specifically called attention to it. In fact, just two days ago I was wondering when they'd announce this month's.

It seems like they just fall out of the sky because they only announce them a day ahead of time, before there was a couple days (up to a week sometimes) lead-in.

[Shadowlink]

Yoshi's Island Wii U?! :D

[Spieler Eins]

So do you think Nintendo is not going to announce something new for Q1/Q2/Q3 2013? I don't think they'll wait until E3, besides they're going to issue their yearly report by the end of January, aren't they? I reckon investors are waiting to have some positive news as regards Wii U's profitablity in the future, so it would be a perect time to drop a couple bombs.

Well, all the promised launch window games are now Q2, so there goes that. Q3 is summer, so that doesn't really have to be jampacked. But yeah, they need something especially for the investor meeting. Though last year it basically boiled down to ,,Well, we're making some new 2D Mario, wait for footage later''. In one of the last JP Directs, Monolith has been teased, so hopefully that could lead to something tomorrow. But recent actions for the WiiU made me cautious.

[Diddy Kong]

Give me VC (with being able to transfer my Wii titles over), Wonderful 101, and Bayonetta 2 now pls.

[+Aliken+]

Is there anything that indicates that it is going to be about titles that have never been mentioned yet?

The word "new"

Oh hmmm, that's good.

Lol the hype is so much when these Nintendo Directs are announced that people just forget even the basics :D

[StreetsAhead]

22.5 hours to go until FOLDERTON 2013!

Predicting:

-Acid Ghost
-Diddy Kong Racing U
-Yoshi's Land
-F-Zero GUX
-Dillion's Rolling Western U
-Wind Waker, Mother on the VC
-Vitality Sensor integration with Panorama View

[Tricky I Shadow]

Donkey Kong Country Returns 2! PLEASE!

[hunnies28]

Why !? Why I can't contain the hype every time one of these is announced!?

[ari]

Wii u needs something, its just getting sad at this point. fuck these 3ds announcements.

Price drop after 1/2 month on sale? Come on now. Even the 3DS wasn't this early.

[SolidSnakex]

Wii Fit U+ Mario Party U GCN Ports

It makes me sad that Sunshine is impossible to pull off on the Wii U due to the lack of analog triggers. I really want to give that game another shot.

[Andrex]

Lol, part of my would gladly take this. 3DS app management is strangely much more advanced feeling than Wii U's.

[Padawan of Windu]

The possibilities! New Wii U games! Can't handle the hype. Will we finally hear about the other unannounced Wii U games in the launch window Reggie mentioned before? Personally I hope they save the later in the year, bigger stuff for reveal at E3, and use this for something along the lines of Yoshi's Land for Summer release, etc.

[KennyLinder]

"As a service, we have stopped the disc spinning whilst it's not being used".

"Get ready to get fit in 2013 with Yoshi's Land of fitness! An all new adventure as you jump up and down to move Yoshi!"

[skypunch]

Please, at least show a logo of Monolith Soft's Wii U title!

[Shadowlink]

You guys aren't hyped enough! We should be expecting:

Yoshi's Island Wii U
Yoshi's Island 3DS
Yoshi's Island Wii
Yoshi's Island The Movie
Yoshi's Island action figures
Yoshi's Island Neogaf

[tsab]

I am certain they could figure out a better control scheme for the gamepad if they were forced to

[beje]

Best part is that taking into account we have absolutely no clue about Nintendo first party games beyond March aside for Pikmin 3, they will deliver no matter what do they show. At this point, they would really have to go out of their way to have a failed ND.

Maybe Iwata is in the ejection seat again

You forgot Yoshi's Island The Movie: The Game. ;)

[TheCongressman1]

True, but it still doesn't stop the sting of crappy digital triggers.

[Cheesemeister]

It'd be hilarious if that supposed Yoshi's Land leak turns out to be true.

[Boss Doggie]

I'm surprised there's not GAF-themed Yoshi egg/Yoshi color

Good shout.

[ASIS]

?? Clickable sticks, one more shoulder button, touch screen, etc. are all features they could use to replicate that.

I actually hope for a Wiimote version.

[grimshawish]

Its more believable now we know Resident Evil Revelations is going to see HD ports.

[PhoReal]

Yep. I'm sure we'll see something great being announced tomorrow. First and/or third party.

[Cheesemeister]

It's more believable now that we know Resident Evil Revelaitons is going to have HD ports.

Fixed.

[ElTopo]

Its more believable now we know Resident Evil Revelations is going to see HD ports.

But where does MGS fit in ? Twin Snakes as an early GC Virtual Console game ?

Remember E3 when everyone was "Man, Nintendo will easily win E3. They'd have to fuck up monumentally." ?

[Hasney]

But where does MGS fit in ? Twin Snakes as an early GC Virtual Console game ?

Port of MGS4, just to randomly rub it in the faces of 360 only owners.

[Yawnier]

This may or may not be the conference that gets me to buy a Wii U later on in the year.

Yoshi's Island Wii U would be glorious!

[mclem]

Please announce that games will no longer be locked to the console.

Unlikely that that's something that'd be announced in a Direct, it directly affects too few people. I'm not saying it's insignificant - it's really something that should be fixed! - but it's not really useful information except to a minority.

[Axispowers]

Say something about Super Smash!!!

[Cheesemeister]

[Hiltz]

Let's leave Sakurai alone. The poor bastard needs more time. Let's give him until E3.

[Chopper]

Let's leave Sakurai alone. The poor bastard needs more time. Let's give him until E3.

He will make us wait.

Hyped for this. Anything new will be great. And Europe are still awaiting an official Q1 release list aren't they?

[grimshawish]

Fixed.

Thank you.

But where does MGS fit in ? Twin Snakes as an early GC Virtual Console game ?

Phantom Pain?

[Aostia]

Well, in advance: thanks Cheesemeister

[Andrex]

I'm curious how GC VC will be possible, since many GC games weren't shy about using the analog triggers and the GamePad/Protroller doesn't have them.

[Celine]

I guess this direct is to announce releasedates (likely) for: WiiFitU, Pikmin 3, W101, Wario.

First retail Wii U game bought by me?
Probably.

[ElTopo]

Phantom Pain?

I'd bet my avatar (permanently) against that.

Port of MGS4, just to randomly rub it in the faces of 360 only owners.

Remember the original trailer for MGS 3D ? Wii U version. ;-)

[yankee666]

So this will cover ONLY Nintendo (published/ developed) Games for the Wii U?

[SolidSnakex]

?? Clickable sticks, one more shoulder button, touch screen, etc. are all features they could use to replicate that. I actually hope for a Wiimote version.

I don't see how any of those could control the water like analog triggers can. Anyway, I shouldn't have said that it's impossible as they can probably get it to work even if it isn't as smooth as with triggers. I just hope that the re-release is through an HD remaster instead of a simple port.

[Celine]

I wish since I've bought mine for 50 euro less.

[Jarlaxle]

I don't think there will be much. Probably just release dates for Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, etc.

We might see a trailer for Bayonetta 2. I highly doubt any big game reveals. Maybe some more ports.

I think they have to and should be saving most everything they have for E3.

[Neiteio]

Surprised there's no hype for details on The Wonderful 101. Everyone's all "Bayonetta 2! Bayonetta 2!" but Kamiya himself is directing TW101. It looks great, yet we barely know anything beyond one level of the game.

[sammex]

I reckon they'll announce an HD version of Resident Evil Revelations.
