I wanted Chibi-Robo Photography and it'll never come over, am I the only one ? :|

Yeah, what is up with that delay!? It was one my most anticipated 3DS games this year actually. Oh well, at least LttP 2 is looking better and better.
Also, does nobody find it frustrating that Nintendo is willing to use a cartoony and mostly 2D sprite based art style for the upcoming Mario RPG game, but that they refuse to use this art style for any of their main 2D Mario games (even though plenty of old school fans have been clamoring for that)? Maybe we should start a campaign or something.
And I'll keep saying it:
Lame that they - in what they themselves call the Year of Luigi - don't come up with the notion to release the alternate version of Super Mario World on the VC that has a distinct Luigi sprite. Also lame that they keep re-releasing the Nes version of Donkey Kong that misses one stage even when they have a complete version already lying around. Such things really baffle me.

Well, they did say you didn't get it at the beginning of the game so... this isn't a surprise. But I can't imagine they'd have you go without it all the way until Tower of the Gods.
Not a single release date for their 2013 lineup, what the fuck Nintendo. Couldn't even give Wind Waker HD a release date when it's 2 months away?? And absolutely no mention of DKC or 3D World, bleh.
Worst Direct yet by far. I wasn't even expecting any megatons, all I wanted was footage and release dates of their 2013 lineup, but no, WE DON'T EVEN GET THAT. Instead we get a rehash of information we already knew. Faster sailing in Wind Waker, not like we knew about that 2 months ago or anything. The only good things about this Direct were Wario Land 3 (which was long overdue), Link Between Worlds info, and PLxAA (which I've heard isn't even that good =/).

Is the direct over? Any word on SMTxFE?
I don't think you remember a lot of Directs then...

Ah, OK. I was hoping for something since we haven't gotten any info since announcement.

So will Art Academy actually teach me how to draw well, or is it just a robust tool for people who already know what they're doing?
Oh, wow. Is it live already? I haven't watched the Direct yet.
The full game has tutorials and what not but what is released now in Japan and 2 days in NA are just some of the tool set.

Well, I got the 3DS game for free (Thanks NoE!), and with the games instruction, I was able to do much better than I could have imagined, given I have no drawing/painting talent whatsoever
Uh
Everyone on Youtube.
which is most of humanity at this point
Unless people really think 2 hour long streams that you have to get up at the ass crack of dawn on a specific date that pretty much require you to be a hardcore gamer to give 3 shits about reaches more people than keywording a YouTube video and paying for it to be promoted on Twitter and Youtube.
I still think they need to make a "Manga Academy" or "Anime Academy" or "Comic Academy" and have a "post to Deviantart" function, they need to get that money printing machine revved up (or is Japanese art not as popular as it was in the 90s?)

I'd imagine the full game has tutorials and whatnot. I'm just wondering though, can the Wii U do pressure sensitivity? Would that not hamper this if it can't? I'm still looking forward to it though. Miiverse art is going to be insane.
It will probably get it's own direct as well. Oh, it already got one. Another, then.

Even if we knew the stuff beforehand, we get more details in Directs. We get dates, we get footage.
It's not just a "disappointment", it's providing information that's necessary. Before today, did we know Wind Waker was coming to Europe on October 4? No. Did we know Animal Crossing Plaza existed? No. Did we know about Nintendo's new IP, Darumeshi Sports Store? No. Did we know about Luigi in Smash? No.
You act like absolutely nothing was revealed. Just because a game is revealed already also doesn't mean it shouldn't be showcased. They have new details and often get given their release date

I'd guess that they want to hype that up to the extreme starting in September, during the Nintendo Direct that's going to coincide with the Tokyo Game Show.

I cannot wait for the W101 direct on Friday.
I have the game already paid off and really look forward to picking it up.

It basically fixes everyone's biggest complaint with the original game.

Nintendo is highly considering Tomodachi Collection. Band Brothers is a shoe-in. They are desperate for games anyway.

How is it that the 3DS's lineup is very consistently good, but Nintendo Directs are very consistently disappointing?
Well, I still think they are doing a poor job with it. But fair enough points on my other comments. To be fair, I wasn't saying that was a major issue, just something I always considered COULD be problematic. And IMO Nintendo isn't helping and are kind of steering Direct toward these problems. But of course, just my humble opinion that could be dead wrong.

was ok. i got over hyped though. smh at me
Good overall, should have been evenly presented (I supposed the Europe-only indies trailer is because 'murica, but I hope I'm wrong and it's only NoA incompetence).
I hope they keep this format, the only downside is the amount of saltiness and entitlement that trails the moment it finishes.

Really! It's great, isn't it. Shame though, as I was hoping the Poultergust would make an appearance

I knew it would just be updates on recent games.....smh at the people thinking new WiiU games were going to be announced, you guys never learn. They didn't even give updates on their biggest titles either like 3d world and DK.
Well wow.
WOW and these came just 4 hrs after the direct. I can't wait to see the ones that like to put hours into their drawings. They can actually save them and come back to the drawing instead of before you need to keep your Wii U on and hope the electricity doesnt go out or you sibling turns it off.
I knew this was mostly going to focus on stuff releasing shortly, but... is it a good thing that I feel validated for keeping my expectations so low?
The Wii U is in a pretty bad spot right now and it's been two months since E3; is it so much to ask for an update on their big fall games, particularly Mario 3D World?

What good would it do to give an update? The games still coming. There's at least one more Nintendo Direct before launch, which will have a decent amount of information on it. It's only logical that this one be featured on the games coming between now and then

Got excited when I read about Nobunaga in the OP, but Jesus Christ, Koei isn't even trying. That looks like a straight up DS game or something. Way worse than the PSP games.
The Art Academy community is gorgeous. So much awesome art.
