Nintendo Direct WiiU/3DS @ 8/7 - NA: 7am PT, EU: 4pm CEST

Here's a poor screenshot of the 2 One Piece 3DS in the JP stream.

Some of you guys are hilarious. You make up dream announcements and set expectations and then get absolutely furious when Nintendo don't conform to your ideals. Calm the fuck down, there are more important things in the world than a half hour video about games.

They barely went about with Wii U games, just 3DS games... Where was Super Mario 3D World? DKC: TF? Fucking Hell.

Instead we got more Pikmin 3 (which already was released) and Wind Waker HD with more emphasis on them changing the Triforce collecting part. We get it!

I wish I saw the EU or JP Direct... damn, NoA.

pl vs aa, animal crossing plaza, and wonderful 101 direct were the only real highlights for the us direct. ww hd looks really great in motion though especially those night scenes.

i really want that one piece 3ds and project mirai 2.

Kinda disapointing direct compared to others, barely even covered Wii U games.

But I do find it funny people are pulling their hair out over no new announcements, even if they said it be for stuff this year. lol

This direct was effectively a direct for a direct as the only thing of significance that came out of this direct was the announcement of the Wonderful 101 direct. Direct.

In other words, Iwata y u do dis?

not really a big aa or layton fan so the biggest announcememt was smb2 for e-shop :/

the indie montage was nice though. some cool games there, i was a bit surprised. excited for lttp2, still hate the bloom in wind waker hd.

no sega 3d classics release date is :( and i was secretly hoping for some dragon quest. any dragon quest. or a new nintendo developed e-shop game

Wasn't an amazing Direct at all.

Like I said, if anyone wants a cheap copy of Animal Crossing, PM me and you can have the code for cheap.

Also, why is there a Animal Crossing community on the Wii U? It's a 3DS game. Also, why no Miiverse 3DS news?

Mediocre Direct? It was the worst one by far.

Hahaha you guys got your hopes up againnnnnnnnnn

You have to GIVE IN to the cynicism. Let it CONSUME you

But actually that LBTW trailer was awesome. Love the new portal to the dark world. Also there's an "evil" black Triforce. Also Triforce shards aren't in the ocean anymore in WW.

Also LUIGI IN SMASH, pretty nice confirmation as usually he's a secret character. And W101 direct. Pumped.

All in all, not bad for what they said it would be

Still no SMT IV release is stupid though.

Neither bravely default, nor Ace Attorney 5...

Nintendo's bleeding money and they still are playing a game of cat and mouse with releases oh god damn it's so stupid.

And of course the goddamn thing is region locked, so can't import.

Objection Shibata was great.

Not much else that was interesting, but I wasn't expecting anything anyway so I can't say I'm disappointed. You should all lower your expectations more next time. :p
 
Come back later this year, for an amazing classic, Super Mario bros. 3.

This should have been released a long time ago.

Also how long does it take to put a rom on the eshop?

This was truly one of the worst things ever. Why did it even happen? The only info they showed on Wii U stuff was from games we already have plenty of information on. No new Nintendo eShop game announcements, no new info/footage on DKCR:TF or SM3DW, no new firmware discussion.
 
After the terrible sales news last week you figure they would at least make a half hearted effort to impress people. Like N64 games coming to the Wii U's virtual console. Oh well

I'll take a firmware update at this rate. Where is my second summer update at?
 
This place is probably a disaster right now, but let me just say Wind Waker HD looks fucking amazing. Can't believe how they made such a good looking game look even better.

Those complaining ...we said have expectations in check. Nintendo was very clear about what was going to be talked about and even then there were a few surprises. Seriously stop acting like children whenever one of these Nintendo Directs take place. You should know how they go by now. Also does anyone here really think there won't be another Nintendo Direct to cover Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong before they release? They don't come out until November and December.

The shoot'em up on the 3DS looks pretty good. I remember hearing the name before but never saw footage of what it looked like until now.

Hmm. I was expecting the Link in A Link between Worlds to be the same one from ALTTP but a new one is nice. Curious as to who his supporting cast will be then if this takes many years after ALTTP.
 
Best news to me was the release month of the next Zelda. Other than that, nothing new relevant to my interests.

I haven't been following the Professor Layton/Ace Attourney games, but isn't that crossover one something you fans have been begging for for a while?

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.

So... they shouldn't help market the game through a Nintendo Direct they said they were going to do months ago?
 
It's pretty easy to spot those of us who have a) never watched a Direct before and b) didn't see the memo yesterday explicitly outlining what the content of the video was supposed to be.

Except they didn't give us updates on any announced titles. We already know that the Triforce Quest is being adjusted, but they have yet to explain what that means. We already know how the badge system works in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team because the game is already out in two different regions. We already know that Rayman Legends contains levels from Rayman Origins because Ubisoft already announced it in a press release. I do agree that some people get overyhyped for no reason, but they announced FUCK ALL. An Animal Crossing app and localization announcement that would have otherwise been made by Capcom are not worth the aggravation.

Shows how damn pathetic this situation is
