Just woke up to the news. Pretty random, but am I the only one that always reads Nintendo EAD as "Nintendo eat a dick?"
...Quite possibly.
Anyway, pretty dubious about the Yoshi game. Keeping an open mind but even most of the "hardcore" nintendo platformers are not for me. Expecting this to be pretty basic if not pretty. However this would be good for the kids.
Not a zelda fan, especially not Wind Waker but it does look pretty enough. The jrpg looks pretty darn sweet.
Overall this is probably enough to get me to jump in on the WiiU if and when we get actual PAL release dates. No use buying for the kids if they are 20 by the time those games come out.

The Twister-like button pressing thing looked really cool.
I don't know if Mario Party 9 can be topped though.

Mario Party 9 was one of the biggest disappointments for me.

Hot damn Nintendo.
This.
"This nintendo direct fucking sucks we have to wait until E3----OH MY JESUS OH MY DAYUM"
Nintendo dropped so many fucking bombs today. I have never been so happy that I bought a WiiU.
Seriously..
it went from.. fuck off, Nintendo to.. Nintendo, I'm your humble and always loyal slave

There has to be another direct in Feburary.
Why else keep the Wii U versions of stuff we almost all know are coming, like Tomb Raider and Splinter Cell, a secret?

Yeah I think we're going to get something similar for 3rd party games in roughly a month's time. Probably wont contain as many bombs but hopefully it gives us...well...hope!
Ok...
"Services are cool, yes Virtual Console finally shown for Wii U! Gameboy coming to VC :O...
a few titles we already see, Wonder 101 looks great, new Pikmin 3 screenshots look awesome!...
Bayonetta 2!?!? :O, oh only a behind the scenes footage, concept art looks great!, Oh Bayonetta I think a lot of people might want to touch you, Wii U Party, eh...Yoshi!? Oh wow Yoshi is awesome!, MegaTen x Fire Emblem!!!
, Two Zelda's! :O, new Zelda most likely not open world ...OMG WINDWAKER HD!!!!!! Well I guess that's it, very nice megatons...Wait what's this? XENO WII U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG
10x better than E3 2012 confirmed."
Would be awesome to see a return to the originals degree of openness. A little worried with the single player being an issue thing but will wait and see what they have in mind before I bitch and moan

With all the talk going on about the other big titles, I almost forgot about "Wii U Party."
I know it's not a megaton or anything, but Wii Party was a hit with my friends. Given that Nintendo Land and Mario Party 9 were also hits, I'm actually excited for another Nintendo party game.

Got home from work 30 minutes ago and I have just read the last 20 pages.....
Holy shit. Everything they showed impressed me, especially The Wonderful 101.
Wind Waker HD this fall. With off controller playability. With updated mechanics (crosses fingers).
Well done and holy shit.

Pretty much similar reactions by most of GAF, cept GAF was already complaining 2 mins in due to Miiverse talk, lol XD, lots of posts saying: "Boooring" XDOk...

Called most of it. Those were safe bets though if you followed the various hints dropped in the lead up, and followed previous Direct logic. Yoshi and SMTxFE were surprises though.
Also is Iwata's jacket a bit tight around the shoulders? Guy looks like he can barely move his arms when he does these things.

Today I accepted Iwata's apology for the lack of games in the early going. Come March though, I expect to see a first party title. I am a little concerned that we still don't have concrete dates for Pikmin 3, Game and Wario, Wii U Fit, Lego City, and Wonderful 101
A bit disappointed that the OS updates come so late. Good news about Miiverse improvements, though. Opening it up to smartphones will benefit them, but will it also work for normal computers? It's web based after all, no apps even needed at first, but hell, they could find a way for locking them out for whatever reason. Looking forward to the user created communities. And TVii, when it finally comes.
Games are exciting, I guess. Double dip time next fall, that's for sure. WW is by far my favorite Zelda. A bit worried about the Zelda U multiplayer hints, though. Have fun guessing the next Zelda's graphics style. I wish for a slightly more anime-ish look with more stylized characters, but highly detailed backgrounds. The X game looks great, yeah. That first dinosaur thing had an interesting and detailed model.
But man, some of you have to take a rest. Some of the comments, especially at the beginning were just painful to read. I cringed a lot. The hype posts are at least funny.

If that is considered Yoshi Land how much of that miiverse hack pic is true and also those Amazon EU Pages how much can we trust them since Yoshi is real?
The miiverse leak pic would seem to be accurate. Remaining things to reveal could show up in the 3rd party ND
Isn't that pretty much how all the Nintendo Directs start lol? I remember people doing this at the pre E3 Direct until we saw the Gamepad, Pro controller, etc.
I was getting worried though because the first 20 minutes are already things we knew that we're coming, and than the bombs got dropped lol.
Iwata always does this shit and next time he's going to do it even worse. He knows now. HE KNOWS! Just you wait. When E3 comes, Nintendo's Conference is gonna be two hours long and all the games will be revealed AFTER the conference is already over.
Then he'll just sit back and laugh.
That son of a bitch.

Please understand.
Lego City is 3/18 and the other games are Q2 so we'll probably be getting their release dates in a few months.
but what if it's Other M 2
Yeah, was just thinking that or another VC title like Super Metroid.

So "GBA is coming..."
Wii U VC or 3DS VC?
That's what I want to know...and when!

This was a Wii U Direct, but it would be quite awkward if GBA also didn't come to the 3ds lol
Has a 3rd party ND been confirmed?
What I'm enjoying now is the overt damage control some people are trying to pull in an attempt to convince people NOT to be too excited.
It's quite fascinating really. I think this happens with ever big company but not to the extent it happens with nintendo. If they have a poor showing, everyone talks about it and apologists spring up out of the woodwork. If they have a strong showing, the same thing happens but with skeptics trying to rein in the enthusiasm.
Love em or hate em, Nintendo does seem to be incredibly divisive.

I loved the first one for the discounted price I paid. What they showed looked fun, but $50-60 fun? HAHAHAHA NO.
this is funny, thanks

Wii U.
I know this was already done, but oh well:
Guesses on release dates (Japan considering the focus of the presentation, though most of these will hold for other regions):
March- Game & Wario
April- Wii Fit U
May- Pikmin 3
June- Wonderful 101
July/August- Wii U Party
Fall- Wind Waker (confirmed)
Fall- Yarn Yoshi (seems like a title they would hold off on revealing if it was too far away- not a major major seller)
November- Super Mario Universe or whatever it is called
December- X
2014- Mario Kart, Smash, Bayo 2 and SMTxFE.
Edit- It wasn't shown but I bet Retro's game is holiday 2013.

Hahaha, that would be great.
Iwata reiterates that there'll be further information concerning future developments on 3DS as well as what third parties are working on for Wii U at a later time.
Also, Miiverse's usability will be improved sometime next week, along with making it easier to select your Mii's expression when posting to Miiverse. Additionally, in February, there will be a filtering function added to Miiverse to filter between people that have completed a game and those that haven't, and there will also be notifications for when someone follows you.
