Layton vs. AA for Europe

no date on SMTIV or Bravely Default

why Shibata, why

Well... Soul Hackers is 13 sept at least !

 

[bon]

PL vs AA alone made this Direct worth it.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Friday Wonderful 101 Direct? Well, that's a good note to end on.

Mediocre Direct, but it's no bigs.

Mediocre Direct? It was the worst one by far.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

What the fuck no Animal Crossing deal for NA, why the fuck are they not doing this stuff here.

I knew going in this wouldn't have much info but shit, there was basically nothing. Least we know when the W101 direct will be.

 

[BlackProdigy]

.......Guys I think this may be the last generation in which nintendo will be doing consoles.

 

[Forkball]

What madness is happening on the Japanese stream?

 

[Jintor]

There's an absolutely terrifying Luigi comedian on .JP right now

 

[The Xtortionist]

No Tropical Freeze info...

Ninty y u do dis 2 me

 

[BruiserBear]

That sums it up perfectly.

 

[Conrad Link]

Europe one ftw lol.

 

[nintendoman58]

What a terrible direct. Only great thing was the Layton V.S. Ace Attorney localization announcement.

 

[Diprosalic]

So.... updates on thing we knew were coming (or at least existed in some region)
And they annouced another Nintendo Direct.....

"Watch a new #NintendoDirectNA on 8/7 at 7am PT for updates on #WiiU and Nintendo #3DS games launching this year. "

what did you expect?

 

[Kyou]

I'm unreasonably excited for Animal Crossing Plaza

 

[RawkHawk2010]

I think I'm gonna go cry in a corner.

 

[storafötter]

EO4 EU release August 30th
Soul Hackers EU release September 13th

Nice EO4 on my birthday! but I have to save money unfortunately but look forward to playing these games eventually.

 

[Meesh]

Delivered.

Yeah... I got pretty much what I expected

 

[Nosgoroth]

PLVSAA. THANK YOU BASED SHIBATA.

 

[dark_inferno]

No SMT4.. nothing new... Indie games looked more interesting than any Nintendo game. WOW im impressed Nintendo.

 

[Nezzhil]

Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wrigth to Europe in 2014!

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

What?

Is that all? I want my 27 minutes back!

I was hoping to see a new X trailer...

 

[bobbychalkers]

Meh direct overall, pretty much goes in line with 3DS is absolutely killing it, and Wii U needs games. The Wii U Eshop reel is the only thing that really caught my interest, also the total lack of Wonderful 101 is concerning.

 

[KojiKnight]

3/10

Why did i get hyped so much?

See you in 2 days!

 

[schuelma]

I don't understand what the hell NOA is doing. What kind of Direct was that? You can't date a single game?

 

[Azure Dream]

Wow, that was really it?

A couple of VC titles, many of which were on the Wii (other than Summer Festival), an incredibly late announcement of an AA vs. PL localization (making it a "megaton" because... we were worried they wouldn't bother), and Animal Crossing Plaza, which will only be running for about a year and a half, and... I guess makes AC fan communication easier... if you want to use a completely different platform from the one Animal Crossing is actually on.

 

[AniHawk]

according to this thread nintendo has canceled every game not shown in this direct

even that port of 3d land?

 

[DaBoss]

EU Direct was much much better coupled with the montage of indie games.

 

[Lambtron]

Recca '92 and Ace Attorney vs. Layton, I ain't even mad.

 

[InsaneZero]

Mediocre Direct? It was the worst one by far.

Why? It did what it explicitly stated it was going to do.

 

[stuminus3]

Non-facetious question because I've never played AC: Do adults play AC?

Yes.

Source: my daily commute. I streetpass tons of adults playing Animal Crossing all the time. Lots of adult women in particular play it. My wife plays it. And... well, I play it too, and I'm an adult.

 

[crazyjah2003]

Wow; really that is it.

 

[Kyonashi]

Well... Soul Hackers is 13 sept at least !

That was already confirmed by most retailers, no new news. I want my SMTIV and AA5

 

[JoV]

Yay, Etrian Odyssey 4 release date!

Otherwise, meh.

 

[NeonZ]

"Watch a new #NintendoDirectNA on 8/7 at 7am PT for updates on #WiiU and Nintendo #3DS games launching this year."

"What the hell Nintendo nothing new?!? Worst direct ever!!!"

They did have news on 2014 games though, just news that really bring no excitation (Luigi in the new Smash!)

 

[Boy Wander]

Wata U struggle is real.

Get rid of him Nintendo

What did you expect from this direct, pray tell.

 

[AGoodODST]

Worth it to see Shibata with that hair.

Indie game montage was nice too.

 

[Artemisia]

WHERE IS ACE ATTORNEY 5??????

I'm done. Nintendo giving time to virtual console releases on 3DS that no one gives a damn about, but not AA5.

 

[Busaiku]

also the total lack of Wonderful 101 is concerning.

Err, there's an entire Direct dedicated to it on Friday...

 

[dragonflys545]

They seriously have nothing to show for this year that they have to do a whole direct on W101... Jesus on a crap stick, why bother? The game will probably bomba.

 

[NeoRausch]

Q.U.B.E. Directors cut.....

I CAN'T FUCKING WAAAIT!

 

[Darryl]

wind waker HD looks GREAT.

 

[ActStriker]

Meh direct overall, pretty much goes in line with 3DS is absolutely killing it, and Wii U needs games. The Wii U Eshop reel is the only thing that really caught my interest, also the total lack of Wonderful 101 is concerning.

But there's a Wonderful 101 Direct on Friday?

 

[Anteo]

what did you expect?

Exaclty that, it just amuses me how people are underwhelmed around here :lol

 

[ari]

Nintendo just convinced everyone to buy Wii Us.

sounds dumb but they kinda sorta pushed me into considering it.

sonic lost worlds
pikmin 3
wonderful 101
wind waker hd

thats pretty solid.

 

[Xeno_V]

FML, After the "Objection" I was hoping that we would get an EU release date for AA5.. Instead of this we got PL vs AA.. oh well.

 

[Brinbe]

great job, ninty... said no one.

 

[PreyingShark]

Mediocre Direct? It was the worst one by far.

^This. There was PLvAA and that's about it.

 

[amnesiac]

Nintendo: "We just don't care anymore"

 

[Kokonoe]

Turned it to the Japanese stream, see this.

 

[Reversed]

No cosplay pics?

 

[Theorymon]

Hell yeah at the Professor Layton vs Pheonix Wright stuff! I'm glad that's coming out! However, besides that, I was pretty disappointed in this direct. ALL I WANTED was some more Super Mario 3D World footage, and Nintendo didn't even show that

Oh well, at leas the Wonderful 101 is having its own direct in two days!
