The MK8 updates are really cool and it's good to see SMTxFE is still a thing -- so it was alright.

 

[javac]

I thought that this direct was awesome, but fuck...my wallet is...well...fucked.

 

[Chanser]

I want those woolly amiibos.

 

[Exile20]

People realize E3 is in about two months right?

It was a great Direct.

 

[mrklaw]

So faster Mario Kart and Animal Crossing cards - is this the doom of Nintendo?

And a ton of paid DLC including costumes and premium currency in Pokemon rumble. Not sure what to think really.

And the DS virtual console prices seem high. Actually some of the DLC too - have they put prices up? Mk8 pack is £8

 

[Xenthar]

lmao they ended a direct on 200cc?

I'm cool with that.

Spoiler

Still no Metroid =(

 

[GamerJM]

Great direct tbh, don't really agree with the best directs ever at all but I'm really interested to see what they have in store for E3, some of this (Mario Maker September release date especially) is stuff I would have expected to be saved until then.

SMTxFE is one of the best Nintendo megatons in a long time though.

 

[Yarbskoo]

RIP Wii U

Spoiler

Nice direct, lots of fun upcoming content for existing games, and SMTxFE looks hype, as does the next Fire Emblem. Also looking forward to playing DK64 for the first time.

Are amiibo preorders up yet in NA?

 

[woopWOOP]

That was great. Seemed like there were some differences between US and EU stream (saw a little Splatoon animation in EU that wasn't in the US one I primarely watched), so I'm gonna rewatch that one now.

Also lol at Smash Bros fan requests. Reddit / 4chan are gonna make Shrek a reality aren't they...

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I feel like I watched a completely different direct compared to some of the reactions in here.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Nice direct to tide fans over until E3

 

[Finalow]

oh they're playing Splatoon in the NA stream.

 

[Myriadis]

It's what I expected from a direct, so it was alright.
Gonna get that new Fire Emblem. And DK64.

 

[Marvie_3]

That was an awesome Direct

 

[Komo]

I missed it all

Is there a summary anywhere?

 

[Merc_]

LMAO at the disappointed people.

Did you seriously think they were going to show off Starfox and a bunch of new games two months before E3? This is what always happens when you let hype go to your head.

 

[Misuta]

The 200c mode ist the death sentence for F-Zero. RIP ;_;

Fire Emblem IF looked damn good.

It is going to tough to resist not importing it.

 

[Weiss]

I need to stop laboring under the belief that we're ever getting a new Metroid.

Kind of a bland direct, over all. Nice to see some info on Fire Embem If, and I'm super excited to see Mewtwo and Lucas in Smash.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

10 out of 10 direct

SMTxFE (Persona U edition)
Fire Emblem IF
More Amiibos
Fatal Frame
A bunch of other stuff that I can't remember lol

Yep, was a fantastic Direct! We must get each other Palutena, and Zero Suit <3

 

[RPGCrazied]

Sad no XCX info, but seeing the FE vs game was enough for me. That game probably won't even come out until 2017 tho. :/

 

[Xun]

200cc was the best bit.

It looks absolutely insane.

 

[Palculator]

This Direct has been pretty awesome. Especially because we now know what to expect of SMT x FE and get Fatal Frame.

 

[gashikunFLCL]

Nice direct!
Fire emblem x SMT is alive!

 

[Rosur]

Over but good direct. Will be getting Splatoon and Yoshi's Wooly World + respective amiibos.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Oh snap, it's up!

I see that Splatoon gameplay. The paint still seems really messy to me.

 

[TheLastCandle]

Very good direct! Bombs are being saved for E3, but they still made it very enjoyable.

 

[chrono01]

Fatal Frame 5
Fire Emblem [3DS]
SMT x FE
Mario Kart 8 changes
SSB Wii U DLC

These made it an instant win for me. I can walk away happy. You did good, Nintendo.

 

[Rodin]

Loved the SMTxFE trailer and the concept of the new Fire Emblem, but when i saw the PEGI 18 at the beginning i was hoping for some new info about Devil's Third. Instead it was for FF5 coming to west, which is still good, but it left me a bit disappointed. Closing the direct with a double, super hyped announcement about a... game from last year wasn't their best move in my opinion, but hey, that's it. At least the Animal Crossing circuit looks sweet.

 

[ghibli99]

This has me excited and worried about E3 at the same time. LOL I hope Retro has something to show.

 

[cyba89]

Panic mode Nintendo is best Nintendo.

 

[chadboban]

HOLY SHIT!! THEY SHOWED SMTxFE!! Give it an official name so I can refer to is as such!!!!!!!!!!!

Fire Emblem too!

Direct deliverrrrrred!!

I'm so glad they showed it and I'm super happy for you dude You believed till the very end

 

[Dénouement]

im done with nintendo

 

[Spieler Eins]

I mean I knew the WiiU is dead outside a few digital offerings, but they now also drop the 3DS already? The EU lineup for the thing is absolutely pathetic. Sure was worth releasing that new revision, lol...

 

[Lebon14]

This Nintendo Direct will probably live on for being the one that dropped the most megatons. Seriously, HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

 

[Kandinsky]

Please tell me they showed X on the JP direct.

 

[Lucreto]

Meh, nothing there that really interests me other than Mario maker.

 

[Jintor]

yo that was a pretty excellent direct for what shouldve been an eco round saving shit for E3

that or e3 will be woeful

 

[Fbh]

Pretty "meh" direct IMO.

+ New Fire Emblem Looks Nice. It's the one title making me hold on to my 3DS
+ 200CC in Mario Kart looks awesome

And the rest was boring.

Oh and SMT X Fire Emblem was incredibly dissapointing. Looks like a low budget persona with more Jpop waifus and Idols.

 

[Qwyjibo]

I liked:

- DS games on the virtual console. That's just aweomse.
- The Mario Kart 8 stuff. The DLC looks fine and 200cc is a nice free addition.
- More about the new Fire Emblem game, yay!


Huh?:

- My hype for SMTxFE just dropped quite a bit. I hope I'm wrong and it's amazing but as others have said, it just looks like another Persona game. Where's the "Fire Emblem"?

 

[Char Aznable]

This was a nice ryde, one of the best directs in a while

 

[Dimitri LH]

Hmm...so I guess I was kinda wrong about the Animal crossing wii U announcement. Ah well. Amazing Direct non the less!

 

[Sandfox]

I mean I knew the WiiU is dead outside a few digital offerings, but they now also drop the 3DS already? The EU lineup for the thing is absolutely pathetic. Sure was worth releasing that new revision, lol...

What were you expecting?

 

[Gizuko]

Oh God. SMTxFE, the new FE, Yoshi's Wooly World and Splatoon...
My... My body wasn't ready.

 

[Heroman]

Games you do know e3 is like in 3 months?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I missed it all

Is there a summary anywhere?

This twitter timeline is quite good actually:

[Supaidaman]

Was expecting anything out of SMTxFE, except that. Very excited!!!!!

 

[Empty]

great presentation

mario kart dlc early + 200cc fzero mode
need that knitted yoshi amiibo
animal crossing interior design
box boy!

very excited

 

[Touch]

This close to E3 that was a pretty awesome Nintendo Direct.

 

[Morfeo]

Nailed it. How is the Wii U not selling?!

Honestly, I dont get this either. The quality is at least amazing.

And a ton of paid DLC including costumes and premium currency in Pokemon rumble. Not sure what to think really.

And the DS virtual console prices seem high. Actually some of the DLC too - have they put prices up? Mk8 pack is £8

Come on, I was just joking.
