Nintendo Direct coming November 12 [Over]

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?

Xenoblade as Chacra said above, but anything that already got ported to 3DS I doubt we'd see. I mean, I think an Eternal Darkness remaster would be wise to garner interest for the franchise, and I feel like the game would hold up at least as well as gameplay for a Resident Evil remake would. Um, what else. Hmm. We've already got Pikmin NPC remasters...those really need to go on the eShop, along with many other Wii games. Hrm. Luigi's Mansion as I mentioned above should come packed-in with LM2 in a remaster bundle. F-Zero GX, similar to Eternal Darkness, would be a good hopefully relatively cheap HD remaster to make, in order to see what interest is like for the franchise.

I always want more audiences to get to experience Paper Mario: TTYD, but I think that's more of a handheld or future VC release than one needing any real remaster. It already looks great and has a timeless art style. I don't think the SMG games are likely to get remastered anytime soon since at least one is on the eShop. That's all that's coming to mind. I'd selfishly like DKCR in HD + without motion controls (without using Dolphin). But that's super unlikely I think. (A Wii gems HD line with stuff like Endless Ocean, Fragile Memories, Zack and Wiki, and Boy and His Blob would be amazing.)

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

I just googled presume:

pre·sume
prəˈz(y)o͞om/
verb
verb: presume; 3rd person present: presumes; past tense: presumed; past participle: presumed; gerund or present participle: presuming

1. suppose that something is the case on the basis of probability.

synonyms: assume


I think a lot of people would misinterpret what I was trying to say if I used the word presume.

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.

Seeing that last "family picture", and since we're asumming that Link's pose is a hint pointing towards a Twilight Princess HD remake...

... what if Samus pose is a hint for Metroid: Other M HD?

Could you imagine?

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).

Yes, please. I'd be all over that. Err. I guess, I mean, if I get it from GameFly again. I forgot I didn't buy it....

other M was found on the nintendo update servers (eshop, basically) as a Wii virtual console game.

That said, that's her last official non-smash-bros render, anyway. No one in that image (that I can see) is using their smash bros render.

I cannot wait to see what Smash has to give to us!

Finally, (if there even is Smash), it's not yet leaked, so pleaaseee stay this way!

Still better than Federation Force
 
i don't think capcom would make a new zelda because the director of those games, hidemaro fujibayashi is already working at nintendo, directed skyward sword and most likely is the director of zelda U

Yes, gaffers started to post crazy comments on "action Zelda WAT? !!?" various minutes before the official channels started the direct

Ah, gotcha. I remember I was on vacation at the time so I probably totally missed that leak. Thanks man.

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.

Yep, that or the NX reveal, or E3 at the latest, I'm thinking.

I'd love a new Capcom Zelda but it wouldn't make any sense at this stage in the 3DS' life.

Plus, it might as well run on the ALBW/TFH engine. No use in reinventing the wheel.

Wahh. I want sprites, though! I did think of that. I know it's the pipe-iest of pipe dreams, but I just figured we're less than 4 hours out so I better start dreaming big.

The lead designer joined Nintendo like 10 years ago.

Oh. I had no idea. That's awesome. I hope he's been working on Zelda games where he belongs!

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 was convinced about that once it didnt show up at E3 after they had shown it twice already, at this point im not expecting it until NX reveal

I'd love to read your reviews of the game, since you seem to have played it enough to know that metroid other M is a better game.

At least Other M is a Metroid game.

I'm not sure what Federation Force is. A four player coop. shooter? Futuristic soccer simulator?
 
I'm going to miss the direct live, and will be getting home just as it finishes. How soon is it before Nintendo usually re-upload the direct to their site to watch again? Pretty much as soon as it finishes?

It's just a spin-off. Akin to tri-force heroes. I understand that it's been a while since the last metroid game, but that's no reason to loathe it. Just don't buy it and move on. It existing doesn't mean it replaced metroid.
 
Haven't read through the entire thread so sorry if this has been asked.

What are the chances Nintendo announces and releasing one of their mobile games today? I feel like this would be a great way to leap into the mobile market.

Also, its nice that I actually own a Wii U and this direct might actually have news that will interest me!

metroid other m bombed so bad that it killed metroid

they won't remake it

Although it will never happen probably, I would welcome the Other M remake (I enjoyed the gameplay and try not to remember everything else lol) solely based on the fact we won't have that stupid as hell control scheme they thought up. Who thought it was a smart idea to have the wii remote turned sideways be a viable control option for a 3D game?! It's like we went back in time to the PS1 era for a bit...

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

New Splatoon stage coming tonight leaked on Splatoon.net, you need to be signed into miiverse to see: https://splatoon.nintendo.net/schedule

That's one thing sure to be in the direct lol

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 a direct, just a trailer accidentally posted by TK on their youtube page.

It's a four player co-op shooter in the Metroid universe. There's a soccer minigame. It's not as unusual as it seems.
