You guys sure sound excited about mobile Picross.

 

[Nanashrew]

Please do not be yet another block matching games. I don't care if you put pokemon skins on top of them.

Pokemon Shuffle? It only did 4 million downloads which is not enough. JP market is getting tougher, even Game Freak is closing down their horse game this december.

I don't think a block match game will be enough and I hope they do something different too. The head of their mobile studio is the same person who made Nintendogs and experimented a lot with touchscreen controls on the DS, so I do have some expectations that it will be different.

Man I miss Iwata.

But this is great. Looking forward to Nintendo's new face.

Wii Music for phones! Love it!

I wish I could stay up for the disappointment this thread will potentially turn into, but I have to get up early tomorrow. Enjoy the ride you guys, whatever they hint at can never match the fantastic speculation here in advance.

I'd seriously love it, personally.

 

[The Last Lombax]

Luigi minigames from Super Mario 64 DS will be good as smartphone game.

 

[Cindro]

Hype meter at... neutral levels? Super curious, at the very least

 

[thefro]

Any live-blogs or anything from somewhere else?

(The WSJ link says subscription required or something?)

Not expecting much but I got nothing else to do tonight.

Sorry, I had the wrong link in the main post before... fixed now.

I've wanted a good mobile Picross game for years. I would normally be fucking stoked about this, but after trying countless Picross clones on various platforms, I've come to the conclusion that Picross is only good if you have physical buttons to easily switch between marking and destroying.

Only half decent one I've played is on Windows and has pen support, so the button of my Surface Pro 2 worked to mark blocks.

This is amazing.

That's not what it is lol.

 

[Zero²]

I imagine their first mobile game will be just that, their first mobile game.

I think there will be others and their foot in the door probably won't be the nuclear bomb everyone wants it to be.

Well we are without any Nintendo Directs for so long now, people are craving for something big. You can barely blame them

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I'm ready for the news and people's reactions. I even have snacks.

What is a Nintendo Direct?

 

[-Horizon-]

Nintendogs/cats for mobile might be pretty cool. It seems like something the masses would love to have on their smart phones.

 

[Doctre81]

It's NintenRats. Obviously.

 

[Syril]

I wonder if they'll do a new WarioWare game for it. They always seem to like doing those whenever they work with something with different control methods.

 

[MaximumSpider]

I'm here for a Pokemon mainline announcement. I know we may not get it but the XY and Z anime airing gives me hope.

 

[Morfeo]

Nooo, I was just going to bed. But I HAVE to stay up for this!

 

[Maintenance]

Urban Champion, believe.

 

[brandonh83]

Going all in.

Super Metroid 2 mobile.

 

[ffdgh]

Rock bottom expectations but more info on the new account system would be great.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Urban Champion, believe.

Nintendo does seem to have a lot of love for this IP.

 

[Always-honest]

Not going to make it... Have to sleep. I hope i wake up to some great news

 

[Agent Unknown]

Here's hoping they also finally talk about the new loyalty program.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I have to sub to WSJ? or will GAF repost?

 

[Maintenance]

Nintendo does seem to have a lot of love for this IP.

They do, that and Pikmin shall live forever.

 

[Kouriozan]

Really curious about that Q/A session.

While we're at refinement suggestions, mount the whole thing into Devil's Third NA cover.

I try with great difficulty to attain this kind of "nothing-NES" zen... But the whispers of bombs being dropped keep me from total enlightenment. :/

Can't... ignore... the... hype...

You must let go of all worldly gaming desires!

Rock bottom expectations but more info on the new account system would be great.

"We have top people working on it. TOP. PEOPLE...please be excited."

 

[Mory Dunz]

It's effin Donkey Kong

 

[Pinky]

Going all in.

Super Metroid 2 mobile.

Super Metroid 2: Other M

I'm most interested in that. They pretty much have to talk about it since it ties in with the mobile games and DeNA.

 

[Triforce141]

Donkey Kong Crash Course would be a nice fit for mobile.

 

[AdanVC]

I'm sure it'll get even better once we get more pics of him.
It was the same for any other executive becoming a public figure in the past.

Yes! Hope we can have some new pics of him on today's briefing to make dem gifs haha

He looks like a yakuza boss or something... scary shit.

Trueeee he definitely looks very scary. Like a very strict Math teacher or something.

 

[Shang]

You really shouldn't expect anything outside of the smartphone game and maybe a mention of the NX without any concrete info about it.

This is all I expect and I'm still hyped.

 

[Cyd0nia]

Donkey Kong Crash Course would be a nice fit for mobile.

Shit I'd love that!

Which means it won't be that. Now I'm sad.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Donkey Kong Crash Course would be a nice fit for mobile.

Don't get my hopes up!

Welp, They're doomed. /s

That will not happen here.

 

[Nanashrew]

Donkey Kong Crash Course would be a nice fit for mobile.

That would actually be something I'd buy especially if it's given many more stages and fleshed out. I loved that game a whole lot.

 

[Chase17]

Give me those unprecedented partnerships.
