Oh dear, this reminded me of Japan World Cup 3.

Well it seems they finally gave up on Wii U :c, it was a nice console.

Yup :/. There really is no place to announce new games for the new system on the horizon. Too bad.

Y'all need to trust Nintensus.

Lol, it is like this Direct is making people forget that E3 is coming in 2 weeks lol.^_^

 

[xaszatm]

I feel like something is happening in LA in about two weeks.

What? Like some sort of entertainment expo of electronics? Surely you jest my good man! There is no such thing, not in the least with 3 E's. /s

OT: Sweet, these look cool. The Fire Emblem stuff was probably the most important to me.

And i just gave hope in humanity...

Or at least some of it's memberes XD

Surprised Macross 30th will be in Super Robot Wars BX. Seems like such a weird choice.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Look at all the 3ds stuff.

They should give more love to Sidonia which is the superior Alien mecha show lol.^_^

 

[big_z]

Strange that theyre showing a bunch of stuff before the E3 direct.

that white n3dsxl better be announced for north America at e3.

 

[Foolworm]

Oh dear, this reminded me of Japan World Cup 3.

That is a good thing, right? RIGHT?

Real Authentic Mecha SF, baby. It is a bit too new to be included though.

More games that may or may not release overseas. Great for 3DS in Japan which now has a very strong lineup over there this year (especially if a new Pokemon game gets announced, also Yokai Watch), not so great for Western owners.

Nintendo continues to appeal only to it's Japanese fan base, in terms of new first party game announcements, third party game announcements, and the release dates for these games. We don't get these games on time or at all, leaving us with large droughts while Japan sees much steadier releases.

Also the fact that Nintendo has not partnered with many Western publishers in a big way. Zombi U, Lego City Undercover (the B team developer no less). That's about it. Essentially two new IP, or in the case of Lego City: "Wow, another Lego game". Meanwhile they have most of the biggest franchises in Japan releasing on their hardware and many of those games have not released overseas or when they do it's very long afterwards.

 

[yurinka]

Why is this called MHX and not 5?

Maybe because instead of focusing on brand new content mixes things of previous ones (like villages), as mentioned in Twitter.

 

[Plinko]

Way more new stuff than I expected. Did they just ruin their E3 presentation?

 

[Sakura]

Ruin it with all these Japan centric games...?

 

[IAmRandom31]

I really wish I enjoyed handhelds more. I could barely handle using a Vita and that was mainly for remote play and not for serious gaming. Just can't do it. The 3DS is probably a fantastic system with all the games and such.

Just can't do the mobile/handheld thing.

I'd wait until e3 to judge. Obviously a Japanese direct would focus on Japanese games and be 3ds heavy.

Still, not growing relationships in the west has caught up to them, splatoon was only the third retail game released on the wiiu this year in NA.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I should get those Wii games soon.

 

[Plinko]

I don't see why many couldn't come out here.

Monster Hunter X, Mario Olympics, Chibi Robo, Rhythm Heaven, Dr Mario/Dr Luigi are all games that will probably release here.

Thing is, it pretty likely there won't be any major Western third party announcements for either of Nintendo's hardware at E3.

Fact is, whatever Nintendo announces at E3, Japan will be playing it just as fast as us (if not faster) in addition to all the games that will release there but need localization for us.

Super Robot Wars, DQVIII, two monster hunter games. I wouldn't be surprised if none of those titles were in their western E3 presentation. Rhythm Heaven is not a new announcement. And if Mario&Sonic, Chibi Robo, and Dr Mario being shown now ruins their E3 presentation then I don't think it was going to be a very good presentation to begin with.

 

[Frodo]

Apart from MoHun Cross (which may never ever ever leave Japan, unless NIntendo bless us with a localization miracle) E3 remains unbothered.

They might also show Chibi Robo and Doctor Mario, so... Looking forward to E3, to be honest.

I agree. "Ruins" was the wrong word to use.

Reggie and the NOA marketing team laughs at you

 

[Parablank]

it would be pretty cool to get trauma team released over here

with enough sales it might revive the franchise?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Well it seems they finally gave up on Wii U :c, it was a nice console.

Lol oh drama GAF. Every year at E3 they focus entirely on Wii U announcements and then peoples complain that 3DS is neglected.

 

[Elija2]

About time the 3DS got a Dr. Mario game (and no, the DSiWare game doesn't count).

 

[Why would you do that?]

About time the 3DS got a Dr. Mario game (and no, the DSiWare game doesn't count).

I agree. Next step: Puzzle League! Featuring Lip, Yoshi, and Ash Ketchum and the gang.

I've read earlier that Rhythm Heaven is already available on the eShop...it sounds strange to me, though. I suppose it's the preloading, right?

Monster Hunter Airo DX 3DS

Those are the only games likely to not make it over.

This year has been fairly consistent with 3DS releases as well.

That's not bad for six months and it doesn't include a lot of quality smaller releases.

Try actually playing games instead of talking out your ass.

 

[Interceptor]

So do we know the guy presenting?

 

[Ingueferroque]

No thread on Dr Mario + Dr Luigi? Looks good.

 

[Cheesemeister]

OP updated with my summary.

 

[Akhe]

I'm so late but Project Treasure looks fun. I like it.

 

[Pizza]

Look at all the 3ds stuff.

I *hope* they announced all this stuff so that they can reserve megatons for e3. E3 could potentially be mainly Wii U focused!

 

[Subaru]

I'm not even a fan, the only DQ that I've ever played is VIII - that I didn't finished.

And yet, this fucking music makes me almost cry EVERY TIME. This theme is so beuatiful...

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

What's the point of that other Famicom Remix. Is this one eshop only?

 

[Platy]

Better direct than I expected !

 

[DJIzana]

The only cool things from this Direct, that caught my eye, DQ8, FE, Project Treasure and MH X.

Having been a big fan of Nintendo's Wii and DS lineups, the 3DS had a pretty bad year. Then again, other systems had it even worse. Seems like it's either big blockbuster games, ports/remaster, or sequels to average titles.

Thank God there are indie games.
