Nintendo Direct coming November 12 [Over]

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.
There have been entire threads complaining about the prevalence of remasters this gen across all platforms. All the companies get both hate and praise for them in equal measure. I guess the companies that put out remastered collections might get less total for it because of perceived value.
 
So we're getting Callie and Marie amiibos, right? RIGHT?!

oh shit, jwittz?! Pokemon Z confirmed?! God, I'm about to lose my mind.

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.
I was taking about his prediction.

Who are you talking to?

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.
I think Nintendo skins in the WiiU variant of Minecraft are way more plausible than anything related to Minecraft in smash.

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.

Yeah, Sunshine does feel like a pipe dream.

There has to be some other solid candidate, even from the Wii era maybe that just isn't a Zelda game, right?

Who are they?

Youtube personalities. Jwitz does a lot of nintendo streams (particularly mario party, IIRC). The completionist likes to 100% games. Both nintendo fans.

I think they're both big on pokemon and zelda, also, so could be related to those franchises, as well.

Plus jwitz is mostly known for his Pokemon videos. He was a commentator for one of the Pokemon Regional tournament. (I think it was Regional)
 
I hope the OP is updated when I get back from town, I don't want to have anything spoiled for me before I can watch it and just trying to find the video on youtube can result is spoilers.
 
Jwittz leaked Flatzone X back before Smash 4 was out with his review copy.

It was an accident and he removed it immediately, but funny to see him now doing something official with Nintendo.

"Assume due to facts found related to it" can be shortened to "presume" :)

And yeah that sounds about right :)

I wanted to emphasize that there is concrete evidence of news being possible for those things. Presume just means it's probable, doesn't have to be tied to concrete evidence. Can just be because it's likely to happen (because it's been a long time, because things normally happen on a schedule, etc).
 
Yeah but he commentates the TCG rather than the video games.

Still, good for him :)
He is still in good terms with Nintendo like Jirard. So I guess it makes sense to get Youtubers to help them out. Think they did that with ProJared, PBG, and him on Tri-Force Heroes.

Don't think Zeldas showing up until E3. It's still coming to Wii U but it skipped last E3 and will not be shown again until the NX reveal so it can be a showcase for the system. The Wii U version will still come but Nintendo will be mostly quiet about it and act like the NX one is the main version.

Something small that I would like to see: the Splatoon amiibo challenges made available to everyone. I really enjoyed the single player and replaying it with added challenge would be awesome (for those of us who don't want to buy the figures).

Dark Horse choices for hype surprises.

-Diddy Kong Racing 2.

tumblr_n8hvf8Z5rk1r0bmmvo3_500.gif


I want this. I want this so bad. Racing games interest me so minimally but the original DKR is one of the best games ever to me. I even like the DS port a lot, touchscreen shenanigans and all. The rumor swirling around this game and its use of characters like Rusty, Mallo, and other "B-tier" Nintendo stars is wonderful and fits the big N so well. I'd love to see this come to pass.

-Luigi's Mansion & Dark Moon 2-Pack HD Remaster

tumblr_mi7tbkcFf91r5jta4o1_500.gif


Might as well dream big. I need more Polterpup in my life. I didn't 100% the game. So if this comes out, please allow explorable mansions to get missing gems and Boos.

-New Capcom 2D Zelda.

tumblr_nmetvlE9AU1tzromco1_500.gif


Eh, why not keep dreaming big. Capcom showed they could make masterful 2D Zelda games. I'd love to see what they could do on 3DS. The Oracle games and Minish Cap are among my favorite Zeldas. Animal Buddies and Subrosia need to make a comeback.

-DLC for Kirby & Toad.

-I just want more of these delightful games. Please also add a mid-zoom option for Toad so I don't have to strain to see the details on my TV. That's my #1 Nintendo patch request by far.

If it's coming sooner than later (spring/summer) on Wii U, and it's still Wii U exclusive, it'll be mentioned during this direct.

If it's cross-gen, we'll get more info during the NX reveal (likely after fiscal year 2015, so around may).

Otherwise, yeah, E3.

New X trailer plzzzz


cannot wait for that game

You don't say?

Can't you just watch JP video if you wanna see more? It's not like the contents of that game are a secret and nintendo hasn't been putting up tons of trailers on youtube.

There's a pretty huge difference between WW-HD and most of the PS3-PS4 remasters we've seen though, mostly because, WW (and TP) weren't actually HD games before the remaster.

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 >.>

Damn itttttttt :'(

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.

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

Yeah at this point it's probably going to be re-revealed in perhaps it's very own Direct?? A special 30th anniversary of Zelda Direct hosted by Aonuma and Miyamoto ohhhh <3 It's nice to dream.

"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"

Even if they only said that I would be more than happy tbh :(

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:
t1447365600z4.png

  • 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

Can a Mod add this the OP, pretty please? It's kinda annoying that OP guy just did the thread only to be "first" and then abandon it...

I do not want to be spoiled to much

To me the JP game does not exists, hence my hype

Plus I will be playing this in english

Some new hype trailer will be nice

Nope! Assume means that it's probable, otherwise you wouldn't be assuming. Presuming is when you believe something due to facts or experience :)
