Minecraft and Twilight Princess HD should show up, there's no reason not to expect Shovel Knight or Inkling in Smash. All of those text leaks shouldn't be taken seriously.

Its telling enough that none of them predicted Minecraft.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

So what's a list of NEW (not new trailers for already revealed games) things we can assume due to facts found related to it?

• Twilight Princess:HD - eshop listing, new link render.
• Tri Force Heroes DLC - game datamined, text for DLC found
• Smash DLC - game datamined, additional character/stage slots found
• Splatoon DLC - game datamined, octolings/etc found
• Minecraft Wii U - pegi listing

Anything I'm missing?

Wasn't the picture from some emulator?

I'd love a Xenoblade demo. And it definitely is typically Ninty to say...guys the demo is available after this show.

Something on the new Zelda would be great too, especially because it has been almost a year that we saw the last of it. But i doubt this.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

My guess is that if no Zelda U news is shared today, the game is officially a cross-gen title. There's absolutely no reason to withhold some information otherwise, even if TP HD is shown.

 

[MetalKnick]

who gives a flying f about TP HD. have had it with these shitty HD re-release. how many times do you want to play the same game?

How do other developers get praise for HD remasters that are basically just up-rezzed whereas Nintendo gets so much hate for making one (maybe 2) HD remasters? I don't get it.

 

[Joegrine_TT]

who gives a flying f about TP HD. have had it with these shitty HD re-release. how many times do you want to play the same game? TP HD is a no news, ninja eshop title if you ask me.

would love to see the new console Zelda but of course that will be a no show. these Nintendo directs are lame. will still watch it in hopes of new Zelda.

 

[lt519]

Just a FYI, eShop cards are 10% off at Best Buy right now, stack with GCU and other offers like AmEx and you can get some pretty good deals. They do this every year and I stack with my $25 of $250 AmEx deal at Best Buy and other rewards programs.

They don't really. The same people hating on one hate on all of them.

 

[maxcriden]

What if they announce Zelda U for NX? I know it's not going to have NX news but I don't see why they wouldn't be able to just say "It's also coming to NX now guys," when that's what everyone's already assuming anyways.

That's still NX news. Better to be happily surprised than disappointed when it comes to Zelda Wii U/NX, methinks.

Picture of twilight princess HD? No such thing exists.

The render I'm talking about are these:

Official NINTENDO released renders of link that are not from ANY other zelda game but in poses similar to the original twilight princess official art.

 

[Chaos17]

Now, that I think about it.
Why Japan doesn't have a direct toda with us, do they ?

 

[Megatron]

I just want remakes. Really hope dq7 and tp hd are announced.

 

[Revven]

Wasn't the picture from some emulator?

TPHD comes from server listings and a render (see above by georly), not any of the poor fake "leak" images you've been seeing in this thread.

Now, that I think about it.
Why Japan doesn't have a direct toda with us, do they ?

They do have a Direct, OP isn't updated.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Now, that I think about it.

They do. The OP decided to abandon his own thread.

 

[Soul Lab]

so.. do we know how long it will be?

 

[Volotaire]

Goodness, I'm getting excited!

 

[Anth0ny]

they should re-release OOT 3D and MM 3D on Wii U for the 30th anniversary.

and as an excuse to release OOT and MM amiibo.

 

[maxcriden]

Less than five hours hype!

-Tri Force Heroes DLC. It was datamined that theres a DLC shop so its likely to show up here. I do hope it doesn't come to next year, spent enough timeas it was to 100% the base game which I'm still doing.

Ooh! Awesome. I didn't know that about the datamining. Thanks for the info!

BTW, I think Mallo won't show up for a bit. Until Diddy Kong Racing 2, I mean.

(It's kinda sad that we aren't hyping up for DKR2 anymore....)

 

[LegendX48]

I know this Direct will cover games from holiday season (lol) and a bit of Spring but If Nintendo at least doesn't acknowledge Zelda U by mention it at least once, I'm going to be SO dissapointed. It's time they give us an update on the game.

Well, you should probably prepare for the worst then. I fully expect Zelda U's existence to be totally ignored. It's a Nintendo Direct after all, no hope allowed >.>

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Figures, the first Nintendo direct in months and I won't be able to watch it live :/

 

[Pikma]

My guess is that if no Zelda U news is shared today, the game is officially a cross-gen title. There's absolutely no reason to withhold some information otherwise, even if TP HD is shown.

Lol, that's some weird logic. The game could be shown today and still have a next gen version or, you know, not be shown and still be a WiiU exclusive. Pretty crazy to make these assumptions when we don't even know what the fuck NX is.

 

[Tansut]

I like the way you think.

[ShadowFox08]

Less than five hours hype!

Final Predictions:
-SMASH DLC in November, likely after Direct to include four characters: Inklings, Shovel Knight, Banjoa & Kazooie,and Minecrafter. All four of them are NOT BALLOT CHARACTERS! Yes you heard that right. And I am being serious. I know I'm insane but so is Ninendo so don't say its unbelievable four more characters nextyear which are all ballot characters..

-Nintendo and Microsoft partnership. Select Nintendo amiibos have compatability with Minecraft to offer your character custom clothes based on their amiibo. Upcoming Smash Minecrafter amiibo sill also have big stuff in other Nintendo games.

-Tri Force Heroes DLC. It was datamined that theres a DLC shop so its likely to show up here. I do hope it doesn't come to next year, spent enough timeas it was to 100% the base game which I'm still doing.

-Release date forStar Fox Zero, Hyrule Warriors Legend, Fire Emblem Fates, Bravely Second, but not Mario & Luigi 5 since thats slated for spring in NA because lol NOA.

-Twilight Princess HD of course.its not coming this year tho no matter how much people beg. February 2016!

-Pokemon Z first half of next year.

-No Zelda U stuff.

-Style Saavy and Rhythm Heaven NA editionsannounced.

-Badge Arcade promotions with third party Smash characters.

-Unannounced game. Not even going to say what because Nintendo always surprises. Just please no more Pushmo.

-Iwata Tribute.

No offense intended but, You're ****g delusional if you think we're getting 4 dlc characters released after this direct, especially two characters owned by microsoft.

 

[maxcriden]

Remember that Diddy Kong trademark? Retro finally ready to reveal what they have been working on.

See, this is what I'm talking about. Exactly. Box Boy for DKR2 please!

 

[georly]

Good gravy. Someone just quote this post at the top of each new page please.


SORRY - OP HASN'T UPDATED THE OP.

Here is the countdown:

• Yes, Japan is getting a direct, too - Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPlWZ0FHrZ0
  
• Sakurai retweeted the direct - expect smash bros news
  
• Junichi Masuda retweeted the direct - expect pokemon news
  
• NO NX or mobile news will be during the direct
  

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Lol, that's some weird logic. The game could be shown today and still have a next gen version or, you know, not be shown and still be a WiiU exclusive. Pretty crazy to make these assumptions when we don't even know what the fuck NX is.

2016 is the year of the NX. Be pretty weird to sit on Zelda info for all of 2015 if it's only coming to Wii U.

 

[maxcriden]

My guess is that if no Zelda U news is shared today, the game is officially a cross-gen title. There's absolutely no reason to withhold some information otherwise, even if TP HD is shown.

I think it's been cross-gen since they chose not to show it at E3. But yeah. This is further proof for sure.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Agree with you completely. Skipping E3 was the sign for me.

 

[jmizzal]

No way they do that right before the holidays lol they want people to buy WiiU's not wait for NX, now early next year sure they will

 

[Japanmanx3]

Minecraft isn't gonna be in smash lol. Calm down.

 

[maxcriden]

I know this Direct will cover games from holiday season (lol) and a bit of Spring but If Nintendo at least doesn't acknowledge Zelda U by mention it at least once, I'm going to be SO dissapointed. It's time they give us an update on the game.

Set those expectations low. It's very possible now isn't the time to show us the game. With all the build-up surrounding the re-reveal, I think they might want to wait to re-reveal it with a proper splash.

Lol, that's some weird logic. The game could be shown today and still have a next gen version or, you know, not be shown and still be a WiiU exclusive. Pretty crazy to make these assumptions when we don't even know what the fuck NX is.

If it's not shown, though, you have to say the chances of being cross-gen--especially with the sunk cost--are increasingly significant.

They do. The OP decided to abandon his own thread.

Awww
thanks for the infos.
Do you've a link to it, please ?

 

[Appleman]

Ugh, I'm interested in Twilight Princess HD but recently it has really felt like Zelda overload. If they're going to do an HD remake give me something else, a Mario or a Metroid or really anything else from the GameCube era.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Minecraft and Twilight Princess HD should show up, there's no reason not to expect Shovel Knight or Inkling in Smash. All of those text leaks shouldn't be taken seriously.

Well shit, TP HD, I'll take that for sure. Let me play it with my pro controller and I'm good. I'll take Mario Sunshine HD too, but that probably won't happen.

 

[L95]

He probably could have googled the question to understand it if it really bothers him.

Exactly! Putting questions into google is usually helpful. Maybe I worded my response wrong... but yeah, google

"The next Zelda game is advancing well and we will share more on that next year, while you wait, please enjoy this trailer for Zelda TP HD"

[Oersted]

Minecraft isn't gonna be in smash lol. Calm down.

Who are you talking to?

 

[Sciortino]

Minecraft isn't gonna be in smash lol. Calm down.

What?

 

[C.Olimar788]

Minecraft isn't gonna be in smash lol. Calm down.

Steve/Alex Mii Swordfighter costumes could happen. They need something to get people to buy the late late late port. It would be fun cross-promotion for little cost, especially since they'll likely also have Nintendo-themed skin packs and texture pack deallies like the other consoles have had for their own characters.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I imagine Minecraft will quickly rocket up to be one of the best selling Wii U games.

That game, no matter the system, sells like an absolute monster.

 

[PadWarrior]

If we get an inkling in smash I hope it has the power armor as an alt

 

[JoeM86]

For me, my remake rule is

10 years
2 console generations

Assuming it comes out next year (even early next year), Twilight Princess technically just fits into it. Huzzah for that cross gen game

 

[maxcriden]

Mario Sunshine to me is the world's unlikeliest Nintendo remaster. The game would take such a significant overhaul to be modernized and sufficiently playable. The N64/GCN 3D platforming era is the weird spot for Nintendo. I don't expect to get a SM64 remaster, but I especially don't think we'll see a SMS remaster. It's just too janky and clunky in setup, levels...a whole bunch needs retooling. I hate to say that too since I adore Mario.

Oh? I have no memory of that. First I saw of it was watching the actual direct.

You sure that one got leaked? The one where they revealed NES Remix, right? I don't remember any leak. But I could be totally forgetting....
