I don't want to hear about Mario Kart.
I don't want to hear about Smash.

I want to hear about new games.

Yes, Nintendo should stop releasing information on games they haven't released yet because reasons.

 

[Vire]

EatChildren can you please stop the madness and edit the OP title?

Or are you enjoying this?

 

[Busaiku]

Whoops.

 

[thiscoldblack]

If it's Cranky Kong related................

 

[khaaan]

Nintendo Directs, now with no warning at all.

Edit: Mario Kart 8? Still hyped.

Spoiler

Was going to stay up to work anyways...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Has IGN ever delivered on any Nintendo related hype? Going all the way back to fucking ping pong on the Wii?

 

[DedValve]

Fuck this I'm going to sleep. It's gonna be something stupid.

 

[LostAnkh]

New Smash character, if not, I still don't care.

No need to waste sleep.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

LUMA IS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER IN MK 8!!!111

EatChildren can you please stop the madness and edit the OP title?

I'm enjoying this. Don't edit the title! Its fun to see people lose their shit.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

"The baseball bat returns in Smash Bros Wii U!"

 

[JoeInky]

Or are you enjoying this?

Who isn't?

 

[molnizzle]

i'm sleepy

it's time to play FFX HD on Vita and fall asleep

best sleep medication ever

 

[Vire]

I'm enjoying this. Don't edit the title! Its fun to see people lose their shit.

Who isn't?

Haha, you guys...

 

[BitStyle]

I have my hopes up. Probably shouldn't, but I might as well.

 

[Chuck]

they forgot the "boy/girl" in that tweet

 

[NolbertoS]

IGN loves to hype, but I'm still game for MK8

 

[Freezie KO]

If anyone gets a case of blue balls after the IGN Nintendo editor told us that it's Mario Kart, then you deserve to get hit with a blue shell in your blue balls.

I distinctly remember one of the IGN editors was hinting at a Kid Icarus Wii game being in development for years.

 

[Darksol]

Not worth it. Night all.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

I love me some Mario Kart, but I reeeeeally don't want to stay up. Unless they announce the return of Wart or something.

 

[Alphahawk]

Yes, Nintendo should stop releasing information on games they haven't released yet because reasons.

I was speaking more for myself than the company as a whole, but I do think that it would genuinely be a better strategy to announce games as opposed to hype up already announced games. Nintendo needs to generate as much interest as they can from the general public right now. All these "character reveals" do is to stoke fans egos who've already bought into the hype.

Having said that, I'm not convinced that the Wii U has a sizable enough upcoming library to announce something new tonight.

 

[Kissenkopf]

So nothing happend yet?

 

[MrGummy]

Oh boy..
Please be worth it.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

guess midnight Pacific Time for my MK8 fix

3am I can wait

 

[GobFather]

when.. when when!?!!?!?

 

[Kureransu]

I was hoping something at midnight EDT. Looks like I'll see it when I wake up.

 

[Shaanyboi]

So wait, why is it presumed to be a Mario Kart thing? Doesn't Jose have a copy of Kirby he's probably going to be reviewing soon?

Edit: Nvm. Just saw the Gamespot tweet.

 

[friskykillface]

If it's Cranky Kong related................

i think its a lock that cranky kong will be in the game, dixie too

funky + cranky power team B^)

 

[Eusis]

Since MK8 release date announcements were ruled out, my best pragmatic hope is an early eShop update.

... Though I guess I should check now since it'd probably be now or never another 12 hours anyway.

EDIT: Though I guess people checked anyway. Eh.

 

[Josh5890]

I'll stay up until the Cubs game is over...

Spoiler

it's in the 14th inning and there is no end in sight.

 

[eighty(one)]

I distinctly remember one of the IGN editors was hinting at a Kid Icarus Wii game being in development for years.

I remember it being Matt Cassamassina (who since left IGN for Apple); constantly discussing the series (any chance he had), with Miyamoto (who had acknowledged fan desires).

 

[NolbertoS]

Well it is 1:15om in Tokyo. I'm guessing in 3-4 hours before they release info

 

[Guevara]

Seventeen minute Bayonetta 2 trailer and the debut announcement trailer for Metroid Prime 4.

Anything less is NINTENFAIL and IWATA DOESN'T GET IT.

Iwata? More like Iwanta... new CEO

 

[AmyS]

A) Frostbite support is real.

Such an unprecedented move would be most welcome.

 

[Eusis]

Such an unprecedented move would be most welcome.

Probably wouldn't last for very long, but it'd probably at least mean not being screwed out of crossgen EA multiplats.

 

[Keyouta]

I am ready for Nintendo 4DS

 

[Videoneon]

Sweet. A new Star Fox. Or possibly F-Zero.

 

[hao chi]

Ehh, I don't really trust IGN when they're hyping stuff. I'll just see what it is in the morning if it's not up before I go to bed.

 

[Mellahan]

Putting money in for big MK8 scoop.

 

[Zierath]

There's pretty much no way this is anything big

 

[Boomstick (Coffee Crazy)]

I bet its going to be like a remade stage reveal for the new Mario Kart.

Generally speaking, the amount of hype incoming from IGN is inversely proportional to how hyped you should actually be. At least with Nintendo stuff recently.

 

[Lacrus]

I would LOL so hard if Cranky Kong was announced for Smash.

 

[thebisonxrc]

Hmm, I wonder what it is. I'd be happy if it is new Mario Kart information. My expectations are low, so it would be a welcome surprise.

 

[Smashman45]

Wow guys, it's just Mario Kart 8. XD Boy this'll be fun.

 

[Some Nobody]

Yes, Nintendo should stop releasing information on games they haven't released yet because reasons.

Yeah, that's not what he said. And I totally understand where he's coming from. X, Smash and MK were the reasons I bought a Wii U, but that means the system's pretty much a paperweight once I get beat/get tired of those games, unless Nintendo unveils something new soon.

 

[Goldenmoney]

I'm hyped for Mario Kart 8, but I'm not staying up til 2 am.

Cranky Kong in Mario Kart. His cart is a wheel chair (!!!)

I would main him if true.

"@nron10: When I wake up, you all better damn well know more about an upcoming Nintendo game. And then we can talk about it."

It can't be MK8. What is there to talk about re: MK8? Nothing they would or could announce for that game would be interesting enough to "talk about"

 

[Violent Fox]

Surprise New Super Wii U announcement.

Backwards Compatible.

Achievement/Trophy System.

Unified Nintendo ID not tied to hardware.

Drops tomorrow.

Better hardware than PS4.

Something so small and inconsequential that they would allow IGN to "break" the news?
