That makes this absolutely believable though.

Paper Mario wil be a holiday title, probably with an NX version too.

So them waiting for an E3 reveal makes too much sense.

 

[Oddduck]

on one hand, yay leaks. on the other hand, eh. Whatever happened to nintendo ninjas.

Nintendo ninjas have been doing an awful job in 2016.

 

[MrV4ltor]

The leak will be correct, at least for the European Direct. Bookmark me.

 

[Hot Coldman]

You can't just start the E3 press conference off with the NX bang - you need to build up to it. You announce your fall/holiday WiiU/3DS titles and then you finish with NX to seal the deal. Also, you guys make it sound like paper mario is Zelda-levels of hype. It's a spin-off.

Do you remember the last time they announced a paper mario game? E3 2012 - same E3 as the big Wii U blowout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWIa3kt2NpY It's just another footnote, not the next biggest and greatest nintendo flagship title.

Paper Mario 3DS was announced at E3 2010. That's a year that actually followed the structure you said, but also it was VERY Wii heavy with the 3DS reveal at the end - I dunno if announcing console games before announcing your new console (that's supposedly out this same year) works as well, but I guess we'll see

And no, it's not a major series. That's actually helping my point, it's not a major series, it needs some space to get noticed.

[God Dayumm]

- And Monster Hunter Generations will have some Fire Emblem content

I'm getting SMTxFE cringe vibes

 

[L95]

Which leak?

The one two posts above yours

EDIT I need to refresh more

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

They are never going to talk about NX. Are they.

Have you heard of a small show called E3???

 

[Ridley327]

I'm getting SMTxFE cringe vibes

Nintendo content in MH is hardly a new thing.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Lost Reavers looks real bad but with the enjoyment I've gotten out of the strangely similar Devil's Third I'm game.

I really want some news on #FE date. Feels like the perfect game to put out in July/August.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

That game's been in beta/out in Japan for a few months already and I don't think I ever heard anything about KOS-MOS actually being in.

She was teased in the first trailer and then they never showed her again. It is some load of crap, seriously. Maybe she's hidden or they scrapped her. I'm just aggravated they didn't show her because she's my favourite video game character.

 

[Megatron]

I'll gladly take SNES games in the New 3DS shop, thank you very much.

Uh, yeah. I will spend an irresponsible about of money if this happens.

 

[MrV4ltor]

I'm getting SMTxFE cringe vibes

Wut. There've been lots of other MonHun crossovers before and none of them were cringe.

 

[OnionPowder]

No Paper Mario tomorrow?

 

[Green Mamba]

So guys, I'll put this in the rumour bin, but a Dutch Nintendo site leaked the contents of the Direct tomorrow; (So, the EU Direct) They vouch for their source and seem 99% sure. This site leaked the first details about Castlevania for 3DS a few years back btw.

http://www.n1ntendo.nl/article/49966/1/exclusieve-wereldprimeur-inhoud-nieuwe-nintendo-direct-gelekt



List of games;

Fire Emblem Fates
Lost Reavers (voorheen Project Treasure)
Mario & Sonic op de Olympische Spelen - Rio 2016
Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Monster Hunter Generations
Star Fox Zero
YO-KAI WATCH

Other rumors;

- Star Fox gets a first print edition (contents unknown)
- Super Nintendo games will finally be added to the 3DS eShop
- Monster Hunter X ---> Monster Hunter Generations
- And Monster Hunter Generations will have some Fire Emblem content

No new software announcement at all sounds about right for modern Nintendo directs.

 

[Emperor Hol Horse]

I hope that rumour is fake. No Dragon Quest would be disappointing.

 

[Zalman]

Little Bird
Bird = Falcon

F-Zero confirmed

 

[JoeM86]

Yeah I'm not buying that "leak".

That would mean that there's actually no new international content, and they would never do a Direct if there wasn't anything new to announce.

 

[Red Devil]

We need slopes & more world variants, such as ice & desert-themed worlds.

Not gonna happen, slopes wouldn't really work in SMB, add to that slopes had steepness variants. Also "ice and desert themed worlds" are just variations of overworld levels, desert really adds nothing, just replace grass with sand, and ice the same just throw ice blocks in there.

No new software announcement at all sounds about right for modern Nintendo directs.

Well the thing says "updates on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS titles planned for launch through summer 2016", so I don't think anything new should be expected.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

No Paper Mario U

fuck this shit

 

[Pinky]

They are never going to talk about NX. Are they.

Nope, never. They will release it with no reveals, conferences, Directs, marketing/advertising, etc...

 

[KingBroly]

Regarding the rumour from N1ntendo I posted;

A fellow GAF'er who wishes to stay anonymous just PM'ed me and told me that Nintendo of Europe's Direct PR email is called "Little Bird Announcement Blast." If you check the file pic at the link it says "Littlebird_template". Little Bird seems to be the code name for the Direct.

We'll see tomorrow I guess.

Gonna throw this out here...

in the Metroid manga, Samus calls one of the Chozo "Old Bird"

so...yeah...might be related.

 

[Kouriozan]

They are never going to talk about NX. Are they.

Wait for everyone to lose their shit when they'll stop saying "No mobile or NX news".

 

[NotLiquid]

Wow is this the first time a Nintendo Direct actually leaks?

 

[Ridley327]

Nope, never. They will release it with no reveals, conferences, Directs, marketing/advertising, etc...

Finally, they begin their transition into a Sega-like company.

A filler Direct then

 

[-Horizon-]

Would blow my pants clear off if anything Zelda U related was shown.

 

[Neoxon]

I know I will probably be killed for mentioning the "a-word" but it should be discussed.

Amiibo predictions:
Release date for last three Smash Amiibos
More Animal Crossing amiibos (cards and figures)
Another round of Skylanders x Amiibos
Star Fox amiibo integration
Probably one or two amiibo/game bundles announced.

I'm not sure if we'd get this quick of a turnaround for Cloud, Corrin, & Bayonetta if the announcement-to-release ratio for Lucas, Roy, & Ryu is any indication. Maybe we'll get Cloud this summer, but I wouldn't expect Bayonetta & Corrin until sometime in the fall. That is, unless work on the Amiibos were started a long time ago.

 

[Platy]

The best part about this leak is that even if it is true there is still some mystery left because it spoils the EUROPEAN direct, not the USA one

I hope that rumour is fake. No Dragon Quest would be disappointing.

All points to dragon quest being end of the year

 

[IronicSonic]

Tropical Freeze on 3DS, let's go

Plis this. Returns is still a great experience at 30fps. Also portable Wise soundtrack is always good.

About the leak, SNES games on 3DS sounds wonderful

 

[Sterok]

When was the last Direct without a new game announcement? I suppose Monster Hunter XG could count, but that's Capcom, not Nintendo.

 

[JonnyKong]

I don't believe a single one of these "Direct leaks" since not a single one has proven to be true yet.

 

[DrROBschiz]

No Paper Mario U

fuck this shit

Moved to NX?

 

[Ridley327]

...they just reiterated DQ7 as a summer release a few weeks ago.

 

[JoeM86]

No international Nintendo Direct has come with no new game reveal. Come on guys.

 

[Kouriozan]

Please guys, when did we start believing every fake rumors/leaks.

Makes sense for Europe, but with Fates and Yokai Watch out in NA you'd think the region would receive Dragon Quest and #FE news and release dates instead.

 

[Mik317]

good now people won't get overhype and then mad when it doesn't meet their stupidly high expectations

Both 7 and 8?

 

[……forgetit]

on one hand, yay leaks. on the other hand, eh. Whatever happened to nintendo ninjas.

Nintendo had to cut back on the ninja budget in the wake of slow sales, the ninja's are currently looking for work.

 

[georly]

Paper Mario 3DS was announced at E3 2010.

And no, it's not a major series. That's actually helping my point, it's not a major series, it needs some space to get noticed.

Ok, fine, I was wrong on reveal. I also think Start of E3 press conference = way more views than somewhere in march direct. We'll see. Let's agree to disagree

I don't believe a single one of these "Direct leaks" since not a single one has proven to be true yet.

This has been true, yeah, but nintendo is leak city recently. Something is going on. I'll still err on the side of caution, but this one is more believable than ones in the past.

 

[MrV4ltor]

Moved to NX?

Or still on Wii U and they're saving it for E3? Crazy, I know.

 

[Already Torn]

No international Nintendo Direct has come with no new game reveal. Come on guys.

But this has SNES games on 3DS! That's as big a megaton as you can get.

 

[Green Mamba]

Well the thing says "updates on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS titles planned for launch through summer 2016", so I don't think anything new should be expected.

Then what should we watch it for?

 

[DownGrader]

Yeah I'm not buying that "leak".

That would mean that there's actually no new international content, and they would never do a Direct if there wasn't anything new to announce.

There is a "WIP" folder. Maybe there's more stuff to be announced... it just wasn't sorted by folders

 

[AdanVC]

I want a surprise like some cool Mario Maker DLC.

We need slopes & more world variants, such as ice & desert-themed worlds.

YES I still cannot believe there's no desert or snow themes in Maker.

That makes this absolutely believable though.

Yeah but at the same time pretty underwhelming. Not even amiibo stuff to announce as indicated on that leak

 

[DrROBschiz]

What the heck is Monster Hunter Generations

That sounds like a MHStories alternate than an MHX alternate name

 

[ash_ag]

Whatever happened to nintendo ninjas.

A little bird told Trev NoA's entirely line-up for 2016.
A little bird leaked tomorrow's Direct code named Little Bird.
Who do you think the little bird is?

 

[Hot Coldman]

When was the last Direct without a new game announcement? I suppose Monster Hunter XG could count, but that's Capcom, not Nintendo.

the last Direct

Spoiler

remasters don't count

We'll see tomorrow I guess.

There is a folder called Main Presentation, which could be more stuff thats not in the leak.

FE Fates is already out in NA and Japan, so its not gonna be talked about on those streams
