Boring.

Lol the comments under the tweet hahaha


What did those guys expect?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Considering it was Damon who this came from, it was always going to be something eShop related. Some people .... smh.

 

[socksfelloff]

Lol the comments under the tweet hahaha


What did those guys expect?

GAF got everyone so hype for the NX+ metroid prime 4 news today.

 

[Not75Drops]

edit: late

 

[The Libertine]

Even though I was expecting it to be this, there was that small glimmer of hope that it would be something better.

 

[EhoaVash]

What a disappointment.give me the smash direct date ninty pls :/

 

[KingSnake]

Lol the comments under the tweet hahaha


What did those guys expect?

Well, being so damn late to the party make this be really more of a "finally!" than a "big" announcement.

 

[Voidwolf]

such lust for an announcement. WHOOOOOOOOO

Lmao, dammit why does this always crack me up?


Edit: Nevermind, just saw it. Underwhelming doesn't even begin to describe it.

 

[ramparter]

Lol the comments under the tweet hahaha


What did those guys expect?

Metroid Prime 4 lol

 

[-shadow-]

This was the big news? A game available everywhere finally on the WiiU?

 

[FloweryMarston]

that's what happens when the indie relations guy say something big

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Minecraft is not a game..

Minecraft is boring..

Minecraft is only for kids..

Spoiler

I really tried and all my nephews and nieces know how to play, and I'm really struggling to understand it

I'm from the future - sorry, you're gonna be disappointed.

Minecraft: #WiiU Edition comes to Nintendo #eShop on 17/12
https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/673849476319223808

Yais!

 

[crinale]

Minecraft is big, isn't it?

 

[Nightbird]

Well, being so damn late to the party make this be really more of a "finally!" than a "big" announcement.

It's definitely a "finally!" announcement for us, but considering who said that, it's understandable to say it's big. He secured the biggest Indiegame for the WiiU, so he's allowed to say that.

 

[neotokyo360]

Big?

I dont say anything.

 

[akashhhhh]

It's either gonna be 10AM EST or 12PM EST.

And it will be the date for the Smash Broadcast.

Haha.

 

[Skele7on]

minecraft is lego for kids without the mess.

Your adult mind doesn't understand it as instead of imagination in your mind you have lust.

 

[ffdgh]

Cool. It's big for those who didn't know....or didn't buy any other version for whatever reason.

 

[munchie64]

If you're disappointed, you have no one to blame but yourself lol

 

[Red Hood]

YESSSSSS. IT'S A 4 YEAR OLD GAME! FUCK YYEEEEEEEEAHH

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Minecraft on Wii U is a big deal.

So big that it's $10 more than all other versions of the game.

 

[BGBW]

Wait. People were serious with their expectations in this thread? I thought everyone was just playing along.

 

[Lux R7]

"big announcement"

 

[Putosaure]

I'm curious about the Wii U features (except Miiverse and Off TV). Maybe custom blocks creation using the touch screen. Maybe... nothing.

Some We never learn...

 

[wild wild rice]

I figured best case scenario was surprise Smash Direct, worst case Minecraft. Wahtevz, no biggie, Smash still coming, NX still coming, Star Tropics NX still comin.

 

[RayearthRob]

Am I the only person happy with minecraft U? Ahaha

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Nintendo's indie guy makes an offhand comment in a podcast, which obviously meant Metroid Prime 4 was being announced.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

So not a 'Nintendo' announcement at all then...

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Am I the only person happy with minecraft U? Ahaha

It's a good thing to have on Wii U. I still can't believe it's $10 more than the other versions though.

 

[Bishop89]

6*

It just goes to show how hungry some of us are. I didn't speculate, but I hoped it would be something else as well.

 

[uncleniccius]

We must hear about the direct soon so this is weird.. I mean, they said December.. it *has* to be before Christmas doesn't it?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

We must hear about the direct soon so this is weird.. I mean, they said December.. it *has* to be before Christmas doesn't it?

We already had the promised Direct a month ago...

That was the last Direct of 2015 and the last Direct in the "old" format.

Edit: Oh, you mean the Smash announcement. That should be some time within the next week or so if the rumors are right (the 16th)

 

[maxcriden]

The Smash Direct or is there another one confirmed for this month as well?

 

[Edwards_Omatic]

"big announcement"

To be fair Minecraft is big and this was an announcement.

Do you like your games to be cinematic experiences, by any chance?

Yeah, I should've been more clear - I meant the Sash one.

The 16th? That would be reasonable.. the sooner the better as I need more Smash characters!

You know this by now. It starts as a joke, people get carried away, hype manifests into physical form, people overreact when inevitably it isn't the megaton they made up in their heads.

This is pretty much 100% accurate. A lot of people act like they're joking but they're really not.

I'll bet anything they only play creative mode. Survival mode is where it's at if you want an actual "game" experience. And on that front, it totally delivers.

 

[Dee Dee]

Am I the only person happy with minecraft U? Ahaha

I am super happy! I took the day off for Star Wars, now I can also dig for coal and build a shack!

That does not sound exciting at all... but I am genuinely happy.

 

[Tadale]

I ain't mad. Minecraft on your console is a big deal.
