Lego City Undercover really looks awesome in this new gameplay-trailer: http://t.co/q1nsxMA - Day 1!

 

[SteveWinwood]

Wii U Music would be awesome.

Although I want the game, I'm happy it's a short trailer. Hope they just use that, say the date and move on. We've heard enough about it at this point.

I'm actually glad Nintendo only gave us a 24 hour notice for this big Nintendo Direct. If they announced it a couple weeks before hand, the hype and anticipation would have taken a longer toll on all of us.

See last week's Famitsu thread, multiply by a factor of ten

Have they ever given notice weeks in advance? It's usually always a day before thing.

 

[acidagfc]

Are there any youtube restreams? Ustream is banned by stupid corporate proxy.

Yoshi Land?

The latest version of Pikmin 3?

I'm so ready!!

Good to see the graphics don't look quite as shitty.
But I still have zero interest in this...

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Can I watch the Nintendo Direct on my Wii U?

I could have sworn these Nintendo Direct threads would normally go up a week or two in advance. I could have gotten it confused though.

See last week's Famitsu thread, multiply by a factor of ten

What was "the game" that Famitsu broke the news of?

 

[Mr Swine]

Are we sure that they are not just gonna show the games that are already announced and show new games at E3?

 

[suavelicious]

Can I watch the Nintendo Direct on my Wii U?

Yes you can via the Browser

 

[BowieZ]

I've read most of the thread, but I still stand by my prediction that this will focus on upcoming and unannounced "core" titles and exclusive Virtual Console releases (even if some of them aren't Nintendo dev/pub'd), to lure in the early adopters who have been too cautious so far.

My predix (yes I know, oddly specific and somewhat hopeful) -

Virtual Console (7 min detailing) including:
- GameCube (Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, Smash Bros. Melee)
- GBA games (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Metroid: Zero Mission, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow)
- DS games (Final Fantasy IV, Chrono Trigger, The World Ends With You)

(Iwata, in the past: "I am afraid I cannot say anything about [DS on Wii U] today. Please let me receive it as your opinion that there is such consumer need and let us study it internally.")

Wii U "core" line-up (2 min explanation)

- Game & Wario boxart and dated (30 sec)
- Lego City Undercover boxart and dated (30 sec)
- Dragon Quest X Online (2 min)
- Pikmin 3 boxart and dated (1 min)
- The Wonderful 101 details (3 min)
- Bayonetta 2 trailer (3 min)
- Kid Icarus: Uprising HD (2 min)
- Unveil of Monolith Soft RPG (6 min)
- Teaser of Retro FPS ("see more at E3") (2 min)
- Smash Bros. 4 logo + holiday 2013 announcement ("see more at E3") (1 min)

 

[Kouriozan]

Apparently RE:R and/or nothing.

 

[Kerub]

^ I wouldn't even expect that much from E3

 

[Kiryu]

Does Ustream or Youtube quality have any difference?

 

[EatChildren]

Two hours until the special announcement that the Wii U's software drought will be cured by digital ports of games you still own and played five+ years ago.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Praise The Lord I can play again!

 

[PapaJustify]

If they announce WiiU Virtual Console with Wind Waker and other GCN games I will cream my pants here at work.

Mass Effect armored edition, 60$

Eh I only listed one new/unannounced game
Edit - make that two

Kirby's Air Ride: Would play again.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I would rather be given the option to play my Wii VC content on the gamepad than GCN games.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

It amazes me how much hype Nintendo can squeeze out of us, when they treat us so bad

 

[SteveWinwood]

Kirby's Air Ride: Would play again.

Oh my god yes please.

 

[Kerub]

Retro game teaser, monolith reveal and gamecube VC would already be enough for the Wii U part of E3.

Basically unveil their entire E3 line up during Nintendo direct? The main problem with your predictions are that they are "Nintendo fanboard crentric". Retro's game and Monolith RPG specifically, there are a hundred of new game possibilities that exist outside of these two developers. Hopefully there are 1-2 new first- party games announced, which seems probable, but then out of that its like a 10% percent chance any of those games will be from retro, and a slightly higher percent chance that it's from monolith.

 

[Oersted]

I want Billy Hatcher controllable trough motion controls. And Super Monkey Ball.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

This time, they won't push you down the stairs.

For the incredible price of $25 each

w00t!

Actually, I'm quite excited about Wii U VC, with loads of Nintendo Club numbers to cash in and and a hankering to play the original Paper Mario after going through the sequel fairly recently. Otherwise, my expectations are minimal for this ND, I'd be surprised if any new games are announced - most likely it'll be more footage of a few games like Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3 (maybe with a release date), Wonderful 101, Game & Wario, Resi Revelations and Bayonetta 2 if we're lucky, plus acknowledgment of the OS issues and promise of a firmware update.

E3: Zelda 3DS, Mario Kart U, Smash unveil, Mario 3D Universe, Retro FPS unveil, at a minimum, there's heaps of megatons left.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

well it is better to be less than 2 hours away then the 9 I was looking at before I took a nap

Yep, this is what I'm expecting as well. Cool if they surprise us with more though.

 

[Brera]

This Direct is going to be bullshit just like all the others. Enjoy your bananas!

Well they mentioned new games would be announced.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Not to mention Pokemon. For some reason Nintendo forgot about that franchise during the Wii gen

 

[Smiles and Cries]

still would be nice if DQX was coming to US

 

[Oersted]

Retro game teaser, monolith reveal and gamecube VC would already be enough for the Wii U part of E3.

The Wii U part at E3 will be Wii U Sports, Wii Fit U, price cut, software udates and repeat of previous demo reels. Maybe some Smash Bros pics. Just my 5 cents.

 

[DaBoss]

Just woke up and my body is ready.

The Wii U part at E3 will be Wii U Sports, Wii Fit U, price cut, software udates and repeat of previous demo reels. Maybe some Smash Bros pics. Just my 5 cents.

What?! You really think that is all they are gonna do? Wii Fit U should come out before E3. And a Smash trailer is guaranteed.

 

[BowieZ]

The Wii U part at E3 will be Wii U Sports, Wii Fit U, price cut, software udates and repeat of previous demo reels. Maybe some Smash Bros pics. Just my 5 cents.

Plus all the softcore first party games like Kart, Mario 3D, Zelda etc

 

[Aquamarine]

This Direct is going to be bullshit just like all the others. Enjoy your bananas!

I see you're forgetting about those times where Nintendo announced major titles like Pokemon X & Y, NSMB 2, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Miiverse / Wii OS, Zombi U, Bayonetta 2, and the 3DS XL...all through Nintendo Directs.

 

[VICI0US]

I will only be happy if they announce a new startropics.

Or excite bots 2.

man excitebots was amazing. sadly it bombed so hard it didn't even releas in EU though, so hope for a sequel is probably slim to none.

that game was the definition of a stealth launch though, just came out of nowhere with zero marketing behind it, don't know why they sent it to die.

 

[Celine]

Is the NoE stream just NCL presentation but translated ?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

This isn't another PS heaven.
