Wait, what? I assumed this was for NA and EU alike. Now I'm scared.

30th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
And November is out of the question. If this would have been THE game for Holidays, they would have save it for E3.

It's Mario's 30th anniversary, and Nintendo has been putting it at the forefront of about every major promotional thing they've done since E3 last year. It's safe to say it's a pretty big deal.
What? No announcement from NoE?
No annoucement from Nintendo america or Europe on their twitter account for the moment about the direct. Let's wait and see.
Edit : wait, a treehouse just after it ?!
Oh yiiiis.

While i'm hyped for the direct, i cant help but think there showing us now because it doesn't qualify for e3, if you know what i mean..

Weird. I remember looking at it and thinking it seemed neat, but lacked the scope necessary to be anything exciting. Did they eventually reveal more/better tilesets and the ability to actually build full-size levels?

No. Japan had a bunch of XCX specific "directs". They are likely just releasing English versions of those. XCX will likely still be at E3 with a hype inducing cinematic story trailer and release date announcement.

Not really.. What do you mean?

E3's focus on 2015 titles, ergo a focus now because it won't have much focus at E3 may hint towards a 2016 release date.
I.e. reading too much into it.
Was not expecting this AT ALL. Damn, I know moist of the information is going to be stuff I know already (thanks iyakku and gessenkou) but I hope we at least get a taste of the English voices and a release month. I'm just glad because this means they've officially stated marketing this game in the west.
They showed nearly two hours of gameplay for it at the last year's E3. Along with a story trailer.

I though about this too. But it would be such a failure to have both Zelda and Xenoblade X delayed. Incredible failure. And the game is finished, it will launch in Japan next week. I just can't believe that the localization will take more than 8 months.
Nintendo wasn't at E3 ^^
It's good news they're not saving it for E3, because it could mean they don't need to save something...

Awesome. Hopefully this means the game is out within the next few months.
What're you talking about ? They were at the E3 and showed tons of video gameplay during 3 DAYS.
Those 3 days were awesome.

I really hope they English voices aren't complete shit. I loved Xenoblade's localization, but I am a bit concerned about this one. Hopefully it won't be as bad as Type-0's at least.. lol

It's a dig at all those who claim Nintendo hasn't been at E3 for years because they haven't done live stage shows the last couple of times.
They've supposedly already been working on the localization for a while.
They've got SMB1, 3, World, and NSMB as sets thus far, even going as far as making up sprites for enemies and ojbects that didn't exist in previous games, and it looks like you can make a full level, but there's a big question mark if you can string them together to effectively make your own Mario game.
Even more then, it would take an huge amount of fucking up to delay this in 2016.
No, my bet is on a June-August release.

Playing xenoblade chronicles, having British voice acting is a awesome change of pace.

Finally going to see it in English form? About time I say. Hopefully we get a release date too.

Yep, totally agreed. For this game, I'm not sure if it would make sense to have British voice acting considering the game takes place in New LA, but still...
Yes this is what I want.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Even moreso, shockingalberto said maybe about 2 years ago, that they were planning for a simultaneous worldwide release, because of the nature of this game, that obviously couldnt be done, but that doesnt mean the localization isnt right behind it.

I don't think they will, personally. I'd wait for E3.

How does Elma seem british? lol
Bill Trinen retweeted this, but NoA twitter hasn't yet posted the announcement for the Direct. Funny.
Have you heard how cool the Japanese voice is? Definitely British.

Well, you can create your set of worlds:
How many worlds are possible, and specific details on sharing still unknown, but that's sound like it.
