How do you end on Kirby amiibo? Wat.

 

[Static Veins]

Happy we got the EU release for FE Fates and confirmation of the special edition but nothing else really piqued my interest.

 

[Why would you do that?]

I'm highly satisfied, if only for Rhythm Tengoku (even though I bought it and almost 100%'d it) and for Kirby, which looks amazing.

 

[Caddywompus]

Did they give a date for the Mario Maker Update?

I need to add so may keys to my Haunted House!

 

[V-Faction]

Pokken: Looks terrible.

Nah. Pokken is looking to be one of the coolest things available.

 

[Pachimari]

There's still some games for 3DS I want, this year especially:

- Rhythm Heaven 3D Remix
- Dragon Quest VII
- Monster Hunter Generations
- Fire Emblem: Fates
- Story of Seasons
- Yokai Watch
- Pokémon Sun/Moon

Still a ton of great stuff. I should rebuy Awakening and Xenoblade again.

 

[Westraid]

I'm happy! Fire Emblem releases much sooner than I thought it would. Figured I was going to have to wait until Summer at least.
Can't wait til May!

 

[awesomegamername]

It looks like a lot of people had unrealistic expectations. Sounds about right for a Direct thread haha.

 

[FaintDeftone]

The fact that they keep ignoring Zelda U every time for like 3 years now is absolutely infuriating. What the hell, Nintendo?

 

[Mr. RPG]

That was awful.

Okay, maybe it wasn't that bad...

I really wanted a release date for Dragon Quest VII though.

 

[Francokid1]

Are you guys ready to go into meltdown/depression mode?

 

[PsychBat!]

Nintendo need to get with the times. They should focus on software development and be a third party game producer for Sony and Microsoft, that way the games might not be a generation behind all the time.

nintendo is doomed etc etc

 

[marmoka]

Only the Mario Maker update was interesting for me.

Disappointed, as expected.

I hope NA at least got news about SMT IV Final. Nothing in Europe.

 

[Feltrol]

MEDLI! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

 

[Hugstable]

fuck, no Mother 3.

E3

 

[Hikami]

Excited for DQ7 and Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, everything else was meh to bad. I'll check out the Kirby game if impressions are good.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Well at least the hyping up was fun.

Really though, Bill is not a good host. So boring.

 

[Iriscomeback]

WiiU is dead :-(

Oh well, finally got a #FE release date so I'm happy.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

How do you end on Kirby amiibo? Wat.

No more Smash to rely on there.

 

[Tom Nook]

fuck, no Mother 3.

No Mother 3

 

[Weiss]

Where the hell was SMT4 Final

 

[NFLO]

Confirmed many Nintendo fans are kneejerk cry babies.

All that bitching seems so embarrassing now. Not surprised to see people trying to save face after realizing the ideas behind the actual game.

Bruhhh. I love your sarcasm.

 

[NotLiquid]

Star Fox Zero looks good now, new Kirby, Rhythm Heaven, SNES on N3DS, Fed Force, Paper Mario (... cautiously optimistic), #FE and Fates having a good EU bundle?

Wow I'm actually somewhat contended for once.

 

[v0yce]

Well boys, time to put my Wii U up on eBay. I'm out.

later

 

[Chase17]

Disappointing, but not bad.

OT: but when did they last properly show zelda? Over a year ago?

E3 2014 if you don't count the 10 seconds in the last direct.

It will be worth the wait (I hope)!

 

[Anteo]

I liked
- Monster Hunter Generations. I am gonna wait for a discount.
- Kirby : I havent played kirby in years
- Mario Maker Updates : Give it to me

Everything else: meh

 

[MK_768]

Man, the NX reveal had better have some amazing games because I am getting really tired of these B & C team creatively bankrupt games they are dumping out at this point.

Well I mean we are getting these B & C team games because of NX haha.

 

[mapet318]

lol at anyone who is upset by this. This was a pretty solid update on what Nintendo is up to. We knew there would be no NX info or real megatons.

 

[TwoDurans]

SNES games are up in the eshop.

 

[KooopaKid]

Only Starfox really interests me and not that much. It's going to be an empty first half of the year for me Nintendo-wise. A lot of "mobile-looking" games to me.

 

[Javier]

I'm not complaining. I wanted Rhythm Heaven and I got it.

 

[Not]

Planet Robobot looks dope. I love Triple Deluxe.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Dude. You've got to be fucking kidding me with that Direct.

What the fuck is wrong with you peoples expectations? They said spring/summer games.

 

[hprshredder]

Literally who could think this was good? Is shilling a thing on GAF?

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

One thing is for sure, 3DS isn't going anywhere and I highly doubt NX will also be a new handheld. I just don't see it happening. It has plenty of stuff coming, even 2016 stuff without a concrete releasedate and that goes for Wii U as well. But nowhere near as much.

Now we'll just wait for E3 for NX stuff, because I doubt we'll get a reveal event.

 

[Rob85Fr]

I hope US/EU Rhythm Heaven will have JP voices in it.

 

[Hasney]

#FE, Kirby, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter and Rhythm Heaven. That was balls to the wall awesome.

 

[W-00]

Welp, I shouldn't have gotten hyped. At least the new Kirby looks somewhat good.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Can someone post a quick summary? I'm arriving late to this.

Filling time until the NX releases

 

[Boss Doggie]

Kirby is the sci-fi game that's exciting me more than Zero Fox

 

[Myriadis]

Nothing truly interesting for the WiiU, unfortunately. Liked the look of the new Kirby game and a bit more info on Starfox, but that direct wasn't truly interesting otherwise.

Edit: oh, and the Mario Maker updates are really good, actually.

 

[Shuggananas]

also star fox zero is literally lylatwars HD lmao, shiggy taking 5 minutes to explain the paths system like people never played it on the 64 rofl
oh and they put another furry waifu in it I guess

 

[jackal27]

That was a really great Direct! Can't wait for all these RPGs, Monster Hunter, and a new Kirby!!

 

[dampflokfreund]

Haha, I knew this guy was right.

[Bear Force One]

Federation Force needs a partial birth abortion.

 

[d00d3n]

Nice show, but the longwinded explanation about Federation Force development was painful to watch.

 

[pirateluigi]

Things I liked:
Kirby
Star Fox looks much better than I thought
Mario Maker update!
Kirby amiibo
Rhythm Heaven finally!
SNES games on n3DS
Kirby

Things I didn't like:
No mention of Mother 3

Not a bad Direct. Not world ending mega hype, but just some good solid updates.

 

[kuhnbeast91]

They really don't want to show Zelda. It has to be a Full NX title with the wii u version being a peace token. I expect the differences between the 2 versions to be much like MGSV on ps3 and ps4.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Game Freak's Horse Jockey: Bill Trinnen talking about breeding. OK.

Bet you didn't know Bill was into that

 

[RPGCrazied]

This Direct get an F. Just as bad as the last E3 direct.
