I want everything in black and the game cases to be light-blue DVD cases.

 

[Boken]

I don't think my body is ready. I'm going to die aren't I?

I hope the box itself gets a makeover. This



just doesn't do it for me.

I'm almost sure they will slightly change the design to differentiate it from the Wii.

 

[MYE]

New Simpsons looks fucking awfull

Wow

 

[StoppedInTracks]

No Monday Nikkei leaks yet?

 

[Backfoggen]

Gotta go with the Russian verison obv.

 

[bigace33]

It's been confirmed to be a box that is hooked up to your TV. Here's even a nice picture of it:

lol yeah I saw that. I was hoping this was not the final product, but either way if they nail it today and Tuesday they can count me in for a pre-order.

 

[maquiladora]

150 minutes to go...

 

[Derrick01]

That rumored achievement system sounds awesome. People with my condition should be rewarded!

I have zero idea of the credibility; mock if old.


The achievement system in particular sounds really awesome. HYYYYYYPE!

These are rumors that sound reasonable and not farfetched. I can definitely see these happening.

 

[Majine]

I'm almost sure they will slightly change the design to differentiate it from the Wii.

I'm afraid that Nintendo will see the tablet as the marketing face of the console, see it as different enough, and won't care enough about the box.

Bask in the glory of good Nintendo design:

 

[RagnarokX]

I know we have seen the "wii u", but has been confirmed that, that is the console? I can't argue your point about space and power, but I am enjoying speculating until the final reveal.

They didn't call the controller "WiiU", they called it "the new controller for WiiU."

The condition being no life?

Spoiler

I kid.

I can't tell whats sarcasm anymore.

What episode is that from?

 

[Chunky]

That achievement system sounds similar to Kid Icarus and Brawl, basically just rewarding the player for almost every achievement they get with actual ingame rewards, and a set of increasingly difficult tiers the further you get in the game. My complaint with the Xbox's cheesemints is that it's like, 'oh I got a little picture and some numbers. Is that it?'

 

[Tuck]

I'd die if they announced an achievement system like Brawl/Kid Icarus. I've wanted that for a while.

Name changed:

Ugh get that shit out of here. I fucking hate when tv shows do this.

When Southpark did the Wii episode, they called it the fucking Wii.

Or like when iCarly shows Google, except its not Google, but some other word, just cause.

 

[Willkiller]

I only expect minor cosmetic changes to the Wii U system itself, I hope they find a better way of hiding that big red 'Sync' (I think that's what it is) button.

 

[blu]

So, this Nintendo Direct is prerecorded?

All the previous ones - yes. I don't think we know yet about this one.

 

[Chunky]

What episode is that from?

A bad one, most likely.

 

[A Human Becoming]

What episode is that from?

A quick Google search could have told you.

 

[Nakasan]

I'm just hoping they finally tell us what that orange port was for. Forwards compatible streaming maybe?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Just traded in my Wii and a bunch of old titles to GameStop and wound up with $200 credit. If you wow me, Nintendo, I'll place a preorder.

 

[Xun]

A quick Google search could have told you.

Doubt that.

That episode was from Jan 2010.

Bask in the glory of good Nintendo design:

My favorite is the N64. I do like the GC a lot too.

That's way too clever for modern Simpsons.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Doubt that.

That episode was from Jan 2010.

Ah I see so that picture is referring to the Wii U, not the Wii. Anyway, what I really should have said was

A bad one, most likely.

 

[Sadist]

Dutch subtitles? Sweet.

 

[Willkiller]

*Fun is Japanese for "excrement".

Ahhh so when some people say modern Simpsons is fun I know what they mean!

Thanks man.

 

[Luigison]

I remember seeing the episode now, but didn't recall that screen with Wii U controller in the store. How long has it been since we first saw the Wii U? How long does it take them to make a Simpsons Episode?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Name changed:

This is fucking horrible. The simpsons now look like fucking badly done flash with lifeless animation. Even in that stop image you know the animation is not great.
Even My Little Pony that is really done in flash looks like real animation with off model craziness and life, just like the old simpsons, and I suppose the budget of the simpsons it a LOT higher.

 

[SteveWinwood]

BROADCAST JUST STARTED ZOMG

Spoiler

It's just running through the times on the page, but it is technically live.

 

[Metroid Hunter]

Which stream is better?
Stream 1

Stream 2

 

[maquiladora]

Guise....guise....

 

[snoopeasystreet]

So what are expecting for this? Any chance of a 3DS refresh being announced?

 

[Zero148]

only 2 hours until the first bombs are dropped *hyperisestoheaven*

nope, no 3DS revision, this is completely about WiiU hardware according to Nintendo twitter

 

[SteveWinwood]

Guise....guise....

Someone told me this came back. Is that true? If so, why?

 

[w3bba]

Do I need to be logged into Facebook to watch the broadcast there?

WiiU hardware talk seems to be the focus of this ND. I would say the chances of a 3DS redesign in the near future are slim to none, that's probably something they would announce next year once the hardware is actually selling at cost/for a profit again.

Now I want Matt Pinfield to co-host this Nintendo Direct.

 

[Tim-E]

The GameCube is the best looking console ever.
