I hope Nintendo takes advantage of these Direct conferences. Wow us Nintendo. Bring back the games, you guys should be THE talk in the gaming world at the current moment with the newest console.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
30 minutes remain until meltdowns. Final legit predictions.

- Wii Fit U stuff. Nobody cares, why is it taking up time in a Nintendo Direct when the target market isn't watching, and it will sell shitty anyway.
- Virtual Console somewhat detailed. The usual high prices and uninspired schedule. GamePad support for GCN games.
- The Wonderful 101 trailer, finally. No concrete date, like Pikmin 3.
- Wii U specific eShop title(s) from Nintendo's internal studios.
- A Nintendo published port.

Expectations are low, as always. I just want a The Wonderful 101 trailer. Anything interesting on top of that is a bonus. Open to surprises.

Morning folks, I see a few of us have already lost it. Kudos. :p

Time to sit back, and enjoy the party.

Expecting nothing.

That way, disappointment will be avoided, and any pleasant surprises will become that much sweeter. It's a win-win.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about Rayman Legends Wii U.
Morning! My Twilight Symphony playlist woke me up this morning! I'm ready for a Zelda announcement!

Grabbed my coffee, my gamepad, and I have pancakes in the oven! Let's go Ninty!

Agreed, still unsure about whether or not we'll see virtual console make an appearance, hope I'm wrong!

Miyamoto talked about the possibility of Retro Studios making the Wii U Zelda completely in-house.

He said he would "probably have to move to Texas" to make it happen. But he at least acknowledges this kind of stuff.

Uh? The last time i read something of Zelda and Retro from Nintendo was that Miyamoto basically said that was impossible because Retro were in america and they wanted to keep the development in japan.
It was when Miya had that spanish prize if i remember correctly.

Iwata: After the end of the ND, you can download Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine, for free with gamepad support and HD graphics.

I say the following:
  • 2 new titles we never heard of before. One of them is an eShop exclusive, the other one is retail and not developed by Nintendo itself.
  • Zelda Majora's Mask 3D with new graphics. Same-ish models from OoT 3D, but cel-shaded like the artworks from back then.
  • A new Bayo2 teaser, now with new Bayonetta design, as well as rough release date (I expect Q3/Q4 2013).
  • Two titles we already knew about getting exact release dates (most likely Pikmin 3 and W101). Day, month, year, price.
  • A teaser for both Mario U and Zelda U.


That is all.
Of course, nothing of that will happen (I only say this to lower the hype for myself).
Nothing at all.

So I won't be able to watch the video, can you guys just keep posting regular updates?

That's what this thread is for, dude.
Cheesemeister's an expert. You can rely on him.
He's not called Cheesemeister for nothing.

I just want, for this ND, Virtual Console and Yoshi's Land confirmation. Nothing more. I don't think I'm asking too much. The rest I just leave to E3.

Star Fox U. I BELIEVE

The catch is you have to download and install an OS update first.
5Gb update
 
People way over excited, maybe MAYBE, GCN on virtual console. No Zelda at all, no Yoshi, MAYBE integration with 3DS.
More than likely download levels for NSMBU
