okay so is it sane to expect a new Smash 4 DLC character??? I don't wanna get hyped for nothing
Just be hyped that there's a Nintendo Direct and have NO EXPECTATIONS. Just watch it. That way you won't be disappointed.

The sane approach to any nintendo direct is to expect nothing but mario spin offs and small eshop titles.

Yes and no.
Yes, expect Smash DLC. It's about time for a new release, and we haven't had a new character in about as long as the last time we went without a character (from release to Mewtwo).
But no, don't get obscenely hyped, because there's always a chance it's just stages or whatever, or even nothing (although that would be odd).

Agreed. Nintendo directs are entertaining in and of themselves and I watch them for fun. I don't really care if x hyped thing doesn't happen, I have a crapton of already released games to get into.
Mononucleosis is a serious illness. Get that checked out.
Can't stop this hype.

I just FELT it too! Its coming
Hunters sold 1 million copies.
Donkey Kong games with K Rool in it sold 23 million copies
I think K Rool is a bit more relevant and important to Nintendo's history than some random character from Hunters
Retro hasn't created a big, Smash-worthy villain for DK, so we have to look back to the past for that. At this point, K Rool is still the DK franchise's main villain, even if he wasn't featured in the last two platformers.
Again, I fail to see any other first party characters more important to Nintendo's history than K Rool. Maybe a Splatoon character since they are relevant right now, but that's it.

I expect Satoru Shibata in EU Direct and I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed either. Wanna bet?

As in "Heathcliff"
So you cried for 12 months in order to make it happens?
I wonder if monolith showed the Zelda team how to make HUGE seamless environment on the Wii U and so they delayed Zelda U to implement it.
isn't she an assist trophy?
maybe in smash 5. I agree animal crossing should get a second rep considering how huge it is. she's playable in mario kart lol

Crying eases the pain
Yeah, I think she's a given for Smash 5. Heck, throw in Tom Nook too. Animal Crossing deserves more than two at this point.
Don't you bring your logical observations into this!
Takahashi: hey Aonuma, look at this game we're makingI wonder if monolith showed the Zelda team how to make HUGE seamless environment on the Wii U and so they delayed Zelda U to implement it.
Aonuma: ...oh sh**, uh I'll be uh back later, something I need to uh do.

Damn, this thread got big pretty fast. Shouldn't be surprised because a ND announcement always brings out the Nintendo crazies.

I think they already said they weren't going to show off Zelda U this year, but I think it needs to be shown, specially with the big ass delay it just got. Hell, its still TBD.

I'd be happy for Isabelle to be playable, though I don't honestly believe that being an assist is a good reason for them to not be playable now (then again I dislike Assist Trophies a lot so I'm perhaps a bit biased
)I thought with the big Ashley push during halloween they were maybe moving to make her more of a thing like Isabelle too but it's gone all quiet since the spooky holiday has passed so I guess it was just seasonal, even if her 3DS theme did outsell almost every other one by a large margin :3

The fact that Miyamoto announced Pikmin 4 to Eurogamer this year when the NX isn't supposed to be talked about yet makes me think it's a late Wii U title. Add on that Nintendo is pretending like Zelda U hasn't been delayed for NX like Twilight Princess was for Wii and has simply stopped mentioning the title after the delay.
Just imagine this in HD with new textures
You should see the GAF Gold thread.

But let the Wolf loose first
It is a faraway hazy elusive dream that has slipped away from our grasp. Accept the pain and let if flow through your system.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Yep, still a mediocre game.

I think it might be wise to just keep it for the NX reveal, but could be!

How much time left guys?
A little under 25 hours by my calculations.

Nope, its the best 3D Mario, even if it has its flaws.
They already confirmed Wii U and 3DS games, so nothing abandoned yet.

The fact that Miyamoto didn't specify what platform Pikmin 4 is on leads me to believe it might be on NX. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped it on Wii U... it would just be a waste.
Also Sunshine HD would be fantastic. As long as they fix all the blue coin shit. 240 blue coins for 24 shines is insane.
And they can even use their weird bloom shit like they did for Wind Waker HD except it would actually work with Sunshine since that whole game feels like a sunny, hot, tropical vacation!

Actually Nintendo took over publishing duties for Mario & Sonic. And I know Pokkén and Hyruie Warriors aren't being published by Nintendo do but I wanted to mention them because I'm sure Nintendo will take those into account when scheduling their releases.
lol, nah

Strongly disagree.
Galaxy > Galaxy 2 > 64 > Sunshine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3D World
3D World was the most underwhelming non-NSMB Mario experience I have ever played. Meanwhile both Galaxies, 64, and Sunshine are phenomenal titles and Sunshine was the last of two open-world Mario games. It's been 13 years and Mario has only gotten more linear.
It is too early to announce the delay to 2017 so I doubt we will see it.

Yes, that is definitely what they're announcing. The direct will be a record two minutes long.

Strange, could have sworn that the best few Mario games have no real flaws to speak of.
