Watch them announce a delay.

Spoiler

Nah.. i'm just messing with you!

 

[BassForever]

So is it confirmed no purple or white pikmin in this?

 

[AirBrian]

I'm on blackout until Day 1, but this is oh so very tempting.

 

[Tathanen]

So is it confirmed no purple or white pikmin in this?

Why do people still ask this question!!!!!

Spoiler

They are in, they are in all of the official art and several videos.

 

[newshinycd]

My body is ready (and my wallet too).

I can't wait for this game and W101. Then Wind Waker, Sonic Lost World, and 3D World later this year.

 

[IntelliHeath]

[Kouriozan]

Will watch, loved the Animal Crossing Direct.

 

[Mysterious]

Less than 7 hours left.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

What are the odds of Olimar's return to Smash Bros being added onto this conference, keeping with the Pikmin theme?

 

[KillerTravis]

WTH? That's not the purple Pikmin I know and love. He should be much more rounder and fatty.

 

[Kazerei]

JP only? Hopefully Nintendo releases a translated Direct on Youtube or something.

 

[Darryl]

no NA direct? so this is obviously nothing other then Pikmin, which is still ok just not stayin up for it

 

[JBtheHunter]

What are the odds of Olimar's return to Smash Bros being added onto this conference, keeping with the Pikmin theme?

*Fingers crossed*

When does Pikmin 3 release in Japan anyway? I'm really anticipating how much the console sales will increase over there.

July 13th, a Sunday (so results may not be so dramatic).

It's the same day as retail NSLU & the White Premium Wii U SKU too, among some other accessories.

 

[Freezie KO]

I want to see so much more of this game. But I want that to be when I'm actually playing it. I'm torn...

 

[Uncle Rupee]

I hope they actually release those Pikmin CG shorts they talked about before for 3DS. That would be a lot of fun, especially with these new characters.

 

[hatchx]

So what are the chances they will cover something other thank Pikmin? Not sure if I should wake up for this...

Very low I'd say

Now I'm hyped again. Thanks a lot man.

 

[PokéKong]

Sneaking little bits of SSB info into each related Nintendo Direct would be a kinda brilliant substitution for Dojo updates. Although the fact that this seems to be Japan-only leads me to believe there wont be anything that important.

 

[Mad Bowser]

2 hours left! HYYYYPPPEEE!

 

[Volotaire]

2 hours left! HYYYYPPPEEE!

But it's just info for Pikmin 3? What is there to hype?

 

[Mad Bowser]

But it's just info for Pikmin 3? What is there to hype?

I get hyped for anything that is Pikmin related

And how can an info about a game that made me buy the Wii U wont get me hyped?

 

[SparkTR]

But it's just info for Pikmin 3? What is there to hype?

Pikmin is reason enough.

 

[hiska-kun]

In my calendar the 13th is Saturday.

 

[klier]

So....half an hour left?!?

Where can I watch?

 

[The Giant]

29 mins to awesomeness.

 

[Volotaire]

Pikmin is reason enough.

Not dissing on Pikmin, would love to see more video footage, but it's not like we're getting a megaton here.

It's in the OP:

[Oddduck]

The only thing I could see being exciting is if they announced Captain Olimar returning in smash bros.

 

[Mad Bowser]

Not only megaton's that deserves all the hype only. There's some info's that can get a gamer hyped too and its not a megaton. Easy...

 

[Mpl90]

It's 21 minutes long.

 

[Volotaire]

Not only megaton's that deserves all the hype only. There's some info's that can get a gamer hyped too and its not a megaton. Easy...

True, but we kind of know a large amount about this game tbh.

Unless there's a few new surprising details.

 

[Jintor]

Ah, nearly missed the thing because of the Leadership spill. Good thing it wrapped and I don't care about origin.

 

[Senator Soufflé]

I'm on board.

Looking forward to understanding very little.

 

[Mad Bowser]

3 mins left. Lets hope for something

 

[Vampirolol]

Looking forward to understanding very little.

Please, you should do it.

 

[Mad Bowser]

Watch the Direct here guys: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nintendo_direct/20130626/index.html

 

[CriterionDog]

Thanks for getting me hyped, dude.

 

[Herb Alpert]

Unless there's a few new surprising details.

I guess WiiU sales numbers made them think that Pikmin 3 needs a big push. They will just remind people that the game is coming.

 

[Mad Bowser]

The direct started!

 

[Jintor]

Here we gooooooooo

 

[Senator Soufflé]

That is a nice room.

Cosy.

 

[Dmax3901]

This feels like a scene from a Kurosawa film...

Also, is that the crew laughing?

 

[Vampirolol]

Is this a Yakuza execution?

 

[CriterionDog]

Is that a laugh track?

 

[Mokaman51]

Shigeru Grumps: AKA, Matsumoto plays games.

 

[Jintor]

Shigeru Grumps: AKA, Matsumoto plays games.

But where's Arino?

 

[Senator Soufflé]

So this will be the first 15 minutes then? Fair enough. Starting with yellows is odd though.

 

[Mad Bowser]

The game looks sooooo GOOOOD
