Nintendo Direct: new presentation (over) (Wii U / 3DS)

Hopefully we'll get to hear more about the new Mario Party. It looks compromised by the fact that everyone's in one vehicle again (one of the stupidest ideas they have ever implemented) but it looks like it could be redeemed by the fact that the gamepad player plays as Bowser and has unique powers/control over the game.
 
Man 1500 posts in under 12 hours and the Direct is still over 21 hours away

If they decide to remake Majora's Mask, they're gonna have to do a lot of convincing users why they should play it to get sales comparable to the OoT remake. It seems like the zelda crowd is split between diehard fans of Majora's Mask and those who just never played it because of the misconstrued reception it got at the time (clock/timer is stressful, weird mask system, etc).

HD Remasters please. I'll take Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 HD along with a Metroid Prime Triology as well.

If they have to reveal any remake/remaster tomorrow it has to be one of these three:

Majora's Mask 3D
F-Zero GX HD (preferably with online multiplayer)
Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 HD collection (possibly with SMS as well? Doubtful but it'd be a good idea if they aren't going to do GCN VC).

If any one of those three is announced tomorrow, I would be satisfied with this Direct. Seriously, I would. I know, I know, old games I've already played (actually I didn't play much of GX OR MM) but seeing them in HD (excluding MM3D which would just literally be a new coat of paint and models + better framerate anyway so it'd be significantly different regardless) after I haven't played them in years makes a world of a difference. Plus the possibility of SMG 1 + 2 not requiring Wiimote controls anymore would be a nice bonus as well (I mean they'd have to have the GamePad and Pro Controller as options).

BASELESS PREDICTION TIME:

Super Mario Remix :- eShop exclusive game where you have to perform various tasks in small stages from Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, and 3D World. It will be enjoyable but disappointing in scale.
 
No way in hell Sakurai has the time at the moment to allow this to happen.
Plus it's better with the controls it has than it would be with stick controls.

Control scheme could be kept the same with gamepad and stylus or offer other controls with dual sticks.
 
No joke I thought this was today and I was all set at my computer. I was too embarrased to post earlier after nobody was posting why it hadn't started yet.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Does anyone have the gif where the guy smiles at the camera but then stumbles backwards and passes out but his buddy catches him?

After all that build up I thought it would be Zelda II for VC.

Maybe that's already out or something. Who knows.

the 3ds is pretty much the only platform that can do it justice though.

Oh shit, Soraya Saga really retweeted it? She usually only does that if they are showing off a Xeno game (at least recently). :O

Probably Xenoblade on the new 3DS though :(
 
it's reggie! he's wearing a samus pin and there's a ridley figurine on his desk

he smiles as the metroid theme plays him in

"we know that fans of Samus Aran's adventures have been clamoring for a return to alien worlds and mysterious labyrinths for quite some time. well, i'm proud to announce that in the summer* of 2015**, Platinum Club Nintendo members who purchase and register the New Nintendo 3DS, will be able to download Super Metroid for free; this classic is not available to anyone else"

Here's a question. What's a better candidate for a HD remaster for Nintendo, either a game that didn't sell as much as it should have in order to max sales, or a game that sold loads that is very popular at this moment?

Well considering a Wii U, it'd have to be something popular that could help it. An already struggling franchise would just....be dead upon arrival.

I wonder, what popular franchise could be remastered for Wii U that doesn't have an appearance yet? Not really sure. TTYD did over a million right? :)


Could try and remake Mario 64.

Nope. Because....
Prediction: One of Mario's actions would be taken out or changed and everyone would freak the eff out. My guess would be the punch kick combo. 100 Page thread ensues about about Nintendo changing what worked, and defense force countering it or something. 50 page thread ensues about punch kick taken out because nintendo is kiddy. Then GIFs, Comics, Wii U sales, F, and more F.
