BRING IT!

 

[Dr. Buni]

I hope they reveal another Smash Bros 4 newcomer.

 

[Wartari]

Finally!

 

[emb]

I'm already disappointed.

Nice leapfrog strategy.

 

[Mr. RPG]

DRAGON QUEST VII

ANNOUNCED

THURSDAY

I BELIEVE IT.

I BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN.

 

[R-User!]

Here we goooooooooo!

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Smash Bros.?

Smash Bros.

 

[Anth0ny]

They're not going to announce shit. I'm thinking 95% DKC, 4% Kart, 1% Smash 4 with the Diddy announcement.

 

[Diddy Kong]

WOOHOO

 

[Malvingt2]

We are ready for this.

 

[shwimpy]

perfect time. right after my lunch break.

 

[Rösti]

I'll post my usual Nintendo Direct bingo card in due time, although I wonder if this specific broadcast is going to bring any megaton announcements. But exciting nonetheless.

 

[Ridley327]

A bit later in the day than usual, right? Most I've seen have been in the morning.

Yeah, they've been mostly in the morning. I doubt it means much, but it is odd.

I'm not expecting much more than dates for MK8, Kirby Triple Deluxe, and PLxAA, though they might toss in a surprise 3DS localization announcement in there for release later in the year to help quell fears of this being a light year for that system. The Wii U is probably not going to be so lucky.

 

[cacildo]

 

[Snkfanatic]

Better be bringing out the big guns Nintendo.

 

[Bsigg12]

So this will be about Mario Kart and Tropical Freeze. What else is coming out in the Spring that we know about?

 

[Hale-XF11]

26 hours and counting...

 

[ASIS]

ABOUT TIME!! Fuck this rational behavior I'm full hype even if it meant disappointment at the end. ALL ABOOARD!

 

[Boogiepop]

Awesome. Nice time frame too, don't have to wake up early for this. I'm excited, was just thinking it was about the right time for one and was actually looking for a thread like this since yesterday. Hooray!

 

[Kriken]

Finally, I was actually disappointed by the lack of news in January, maybe we can get a new title or 2 announced.

Spoiler

Please understand, I need something between TF and MK 8

 

[javac]

Yes! Oh god I'm hyped. Let's do this.

 

[Jucksalbe]

They're not going to announce shit. I'm thinking 95% DKC, 4% Kart, 1% Smash 4 with the Diddy announcement.

Don't forget Yoshi's New Island is coming in March.

 

[prag16]

Bombs will be dropped. Understanding will be pleaded. Fates will be decided. Prepare thy body.

Not sure what bombs we can realistically expect if they're only going out to June with this. Unless they surprise us with a Bayonetta 1 eshop release and N64 VC or something (which should have already been here by now).

 

[BGBW]

Is this later than usual?

Usually for me, EST, I wake up and the Direct is coming on...but it seems I have to wait till the afternoon?

Much later. I usually watch these on my lunch break. This one is at night for me.

 

[Assault]

I just want DQ7...

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

While the focus is on stuff coming soon, I really hope they address... I dunno, the vast wasteland that is the rest of the year so far? Throw us a bone here, Nintendo.

I just want DQ7...

I'm with this guy.

 

[Andrew.]

Have Ninty Directs ever aired as late as 5PM? Im used to them being in the morning.

For the love of god please show me some X

 

[kubus]

Shibata is there?

This direct is already great.

 

[Starphoenix]

So it's finally happening. I wouldn't get too excited:

- Kirby Triple Deluxe NA/EU date announcement.
- New trailer for Tropical Freeze.
- Diddy Kong in Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS.
- Mario Kart 8 specific date + trailer.
- DS VC service launching this week. Brain Age first game.

 

[TheOnePercent]

Rather late in the day for a Direct. Are they trying to distract from the dismal NPD numbers?

 

[gerudoman]

I don't expect many surprises, but the EU date for Kirby will be nice.

You... you know

 

[schaft0620]

Don't forget Yoshi's New Island is coming in March.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/yoshi-s-new-island-3ds-xl-bundle-leaked/1100-6417609/

 

[Gamerloid]

About time. I know it's focused on Spring, but they've got to at least let us know SMT X FE and Yarn Yoshi is still a thing right?

 

[RPGamer92]

Cranky announced for Smash. Believe.

 

[Linkhero1]

Cannot wait for F-Zero WUX, Star Fox U4EA, Metroid Dreaded, Pikmin 4, Super Mario 64U, Skies of Arcadia 2U, Legend of Zelda UEONO, and Monopoly U.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Nintendo, Square-Enix.

I'm begging you for this.

 

[miksar]

They'll talk for 20 minutes about Disney Magical World.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Freaking FINALLY.

I just hope we see at least something new.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Can I please get a release date for Mario Golf!

 

[J@hranimo]

It's about time. Wanna see some more MK8 goodness

 

[Hero of Legend]

What an odd time to announce it! YOU HAD US GOING THERE NINTENDO! YOU KNEW WE WERE WAITING FOR THE USUAL TIME!!!

 

[Boogiepop]

Whoa, I read quickly and assumed the 10 PM Europe was actually a 10 AM America. That IS an unusual time, but I can dig it.

 

[TheChits]

TIME TO GET NUTS

 

[Frodo]

HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Now you tell me whether or not this Direct is worth hyping up.

 

[Kriken]

You... you know

BURN THE WITCH!

 

[Interceptor]

Finally. Time to shift gears Iwata. Last chance.

 

[Zalman]
