Nintendo Direct: new presentation on April 1st
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Mario Kart 8 just keeps on giving, this news kinda redeemed this otherwise lame Direct. The series needed this 200cc speed, it's fantastic for the current game and for the future. Could we have such an update for MK7 as well Nintendo?
Splatoon still looks the most promising Nintendo game in the near future, Yoshi is not that far off and Fatal Frame coming to west is good news.
The VC treatment is terrible, someone needs to tell them that. Amiibo support is still unexciting.
Nothing new really, let's wait for E3. All seems to indicate Wave Race will be announced then.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
That's how you make a Direct.
Box Boy, here I come!
Fatal Frame U, very excited about it. SMT x FE - not sure what to say. A wait and see, I guess.
And I've been holding up against amiibos, but it's Splatooooon and Wool Yoshi, bitches!

Well I'm not into anime and thought it was great. Opinions huh?
Yoshi, Fatal Frame, Box Boy & 200C MK and more info on Affordable Space made it for me.
Indeed, it made my evening.
Together with MOTHERFUCKING Fatal Frame 5, and OMG HOLD ME SmtxFE
Especially considering it was longer than other directs too. What a waste of time for me.

Nope.
Little concerned about SMTxFE since I was expecting a more 'traditional' crossover, but I'll still buy it. Looks nice enough. Lots of other great news too. Only true disappointment was the continued lack of Metroid but I've gotten used to that by now.
Also, I'm buying at least 20 Yarn Yoshi amiibos. And all other amiibo in the yarn line (if there are any more). Nintendo has discovered how to get me to buy amiibo through the magic of soft adorable toys. God help me.

This is was one lame Direct. The SMT x FE crossover is nothing like either SMT or FE (which might be a good thing for SMT fans in the end) and no new announcements.
Girl Villager in Mario Kart 8 + Lucas back in Smash were the best things.

Way to be a condescending prick.
Well when your summary skips as much as you have of course it looks bad :/
What? THAT WAS A LOT

A Xenoblade X date. It's getting kinda ridiculous at this point given that the game will be released in Japan later this month.

E3 is close
People who enjoy Nintendo games being games and actually playing them instead of criticizing for their looks (or lack there of) can enjoy what Nintendo had to offer in this direct.
Fatal Frame localization was a surprise.

I'm personally happy with this direct. I'm so glad that we got to see SMT X FE.
I'm also happy to see more Fire Emblem info, though I was hoping for a 2015 North American release.
I'm surprised Fatal Frame is making it's way over, but I'm glad it is.

Some people don't have an addiction for Amiibo's that would make you think a crack dealer just made a round on Gaf for starters. Also a lot of what was just shown was meh at best. I mean 200cc for Mario Kart is cool and all but nobody is going to rush out to buy a Wii U now because of it.

It's his schtick
I only expected release dates for Splatoon and Yoshi but I didn't expect SMTxFE (and for it to actually look good), Fatal Frame, N64/DS VC, the Smash/MK8 DLC to go the extra mile and for that Splatoon rumor with Amiibos to actually be real.
My expectations were certainly outdone. I quite loved this showing.

Soraya never retweeted the direct in the first place so no one was even expecting any news on it. I do expect it for E3 though.

Yeah that was pretty great all the way through.
Overall pretty good presentation, I'd give a 7/10
Great
-Smash Bros and Kart DLC handled right. 200CC!!!
-Fatal Frame localized!
-Splatoon has local multiplayer!
-N64 and DS on Virtual Console and DONE RIGHT!
Good
-Yoshi looks amazing and so does the beanbag amiibo
-Lots of great Eshop options
Meh
-well, what the hell is coming out for WiiU in June/July/August? Anything?
-X? Devil's Third? I suppose these are fall/winter/early 2016 games?
....I mean, I guess they have to save some things for e3. I just find it hard to believe they have a summer game lined up for WiiU without even peeping about it. With Splatoon on May 29th and Mario Maker in September, we can more or less assume there's nothing inbetween.

Where are Super Mario 64? Can't find it on eShop!
New 3DS first party games for the end of the year will likely be announced at E3 rather than two months before.

I mean I knew the WiiU is dead outside a few digital offerings, but they now also drop the 3DS already? The EU lineup for the thing is absolutely pathetic. Sure was worth releasing that new revision, lol...
but 3x Fast Forward!

If they are saving Devil's Third for E3, it might look as different and improved as has been mentioned.

Direct was all around ok, the middle was a bit bad but I liked it all. I'm bummed though, because while the girl villager in MK8 looks a lot better than the boy, I still wish I could use my own villager, as impossible as that would be.

SMT x FE was impressive. Seeing more of Fire Emblem If (why won't they commit to a title in the US?) was good. Onii-chan pandering not so much. The rest of the Direct, with some localization announcements slower than what Europe got, more Amiibo, finally some more VC support that should've been there ages ago, and Animal Crossing: Let's Make More Money Reusing Assets Edition... I really was hoping for more. And I know this isn't E3, but Star Fox is still supposed to be out this year, right? How about they... show something of it? Before the last minute? Or will it be a "Definitely 2015 Oops it's 2016" Zelda-style?
And I hate to sound bitter, but Sakurai's studio's workflow is kind of messed up if it's really taken this long to port Mewtwo from Melee and Lucas from Brawl, with as little changes as I saw on display. ("Oh he has to design custom moves!" A large amount of the custom moves were just modifier tweaks to the standard move, making them shorter, electric, etc.) Yes, I know, they have to be rebalanced, reanimated, and so on, but this is not the same as building a character from scratch. They're clearly cribbing off the existing move designs, and that's a major chunk of the work. That Lucas isn't launching with Mewtwo day-and-date is shocking, or artificially spread out so people don't expect him for free.

i am sorry but I assume this is a joke. it was alright but nothing really major that can be considered "megaton"
