Support NeoGAF

[Demon Lizardman]

I didn't even have to finish reading your post to guess you were a junior. You have much to learn.

I've been around here long enough to know that people should be cautious of insiders, especially when the majority of us got suckered in the PSX hype. Yes, the new 3DS is cool, but it's nothing new that we were going to get it early this year.

 

[DownGrader]

Who's the dude in blue crossing his arms?

Also, awesome pic!

Yasha Haddaji, CEO of Nintendo of Russia. Pretty likable guy, I might say, kinda like Reggie but more French. Think about it as about an inside joke, though.

 

[Diddy Kong]

If LogN is a GS manager then he is definitely talking about the n3DS. I highly doubt they know anything else besides that.

 

[emb]

Something... Big... Is coming next month. If a mod could PM me, I can go in to further detail.

What once had one, will have two.

Ok, I figured that was blunt enough. Something right now has only one, physically. What is coming, adds another.

Has anyone guessed it yet?

Yes.

Guesses up to then:

the moon from Majora's Mask
N64 games confirmed
New 3DS
Big New Nintendo 3DS
Big Blue
Dual Gamepads
Wii U gets full support for 3DS games
Big the cat
New Nintendo 3DS XLL
new F-Zero
Big....Cabela's big game hunter
So a sequel to a game
Bayonetta 4
Open-world Metroid confirmed
GamePad with two screens.
second DS VC game or perhaps a new GBA on the VC
High profile title release for both Wii U and 3DS, something like F-Zero, Bayonetta, Metroid, Star Fox
Wii/Gamecube HD remaster coming to both 3DS and Wii U
Spongebob Hero Pants for both Wii U and 3DS
Use one gamepad on two wii u's?
cross-platform game store
Xeno X release next month
Two moons in MM
new 3D Mario.
Another HD remake
Wii U only has one power button. Now it's going to come with an on button *and* an off button!
Mario 3D world 2?
n3DS XL can swap face plates in the US
new Gamepad lite XL

Coupled with the clue about two physical things, I'm gonna say it's gotta be two gamepads. Neat I guess.

Edit: I guess a new 3DS launch does make more sense. Nvm then. Either way, fairly tepid news. <.<

 

[CHC]

So WiiU will now support two gamepads?

He said somebody guessed it already, so it's either that or it's just the new 3DS, which most would agree is not that "BIG".

 

[maxcriden]

I don't know how I would feel about dual gamepad support. Not the news I want right now.

I really do not think you have anything to worry about at on that front at the moment.

 

[brandonh83]

I know. Nintendo's going to ship a second Gamecube controller adapter to retailers.

 

[ugoo18]

Slimmer design and $99 is my theory.

My purchase of it would probably boil down to how many games absolutely need it for multiplayer if it turned out to be true.

 

[Bronetta]

Please announce one of those Metroids you're working on, Nintendo.

I can't take it anymore, Retro pls.

 

[Fireblend]

That every drive-by tease post with no sources or post history should be taken with the utmost of seriousness?

This is the NeoGAF way.

 

[The Elite]

My purchase of it would probably boil down to how many games absolutely need it for multiplayer.

I think it would depend on the range for second screen functionality that would sell me. I am not sure that is something that can be fixed with a new gamepad though.

 

[brandonh83]

Please announce one of those Metroids you're working on, Nintendo.

I can't take it anymore, Retro pls.

At this point I've been pretty patient concerning Metroid, but after watching that speed run during AGDQ and playing the first one again, I need.

 

[Lutherian]

So I had kept hearing about Yokai Watch but I was never interested in looking up what it was actually about. Since I heard it was getting localized, I decided to finally look into it. I had no idea it was a monster catching, RPG type thing!

NOW I NEED IT

So... this is Yokoi Watch ? I... don't like this character design. At all. Does it takes place in the wonderfull land of Naive World, of the Naive People where no one is evil like Fantasy Life (I love this game but damn it's naïve, I'm bleeding rainbows) ?

Please tell me I'm wrong...

 

[akidnamededdy]

I don't know how I would feel about dual gamepad support. Not the news I want right now.

I doubt it's this. Nintendo has enough trouble getting people to play with ONE gamepad.

 

[maxcriden]

I think it would depend on the range for second screen functionality that would sell me. I am not sure that is something that can be fixed with a new gamepad though.

We really need that wireless range extender peripheral. I'd gladly drop $50 to be able to play Wii U in bed.

The shitty riddle was "what once had one will have two" and it's a physical addition. We know the n3DS is being announced. It's an open secret at this point. It's two analog nubs. They don't know anything we don't.

 

[Grampasso]

Uh so they decided to finally announce DQXI for WiiU

Spoiler

The meltdown would be hilarious

 

[random25]

And we still have a day ahead of us. I pray for all of our souls to survive until then. In Iwata we trust.

The coming...is upon us...let's keep our faith strong!

Actually, I read impressions of the site from someone who was disappointed with how childish and happy Fantasy Life was. They said Yokai Watch had a great balance.

 

[Mikel1015]

Dang this thread has over 1800 posts and were still a day away!

Dual gamepad support hmm? Sounds expensive

 

[ugoo18]

Ridley DLC for Smash confirmed!

That's too big for this Direct

I think it would depend on the range for second screen functionality that would sell me. I am not sure that is something that can be fixed with a new gamepad though.

Wasn't there some range extender or something that popped up somewhere or was that purely wishful thinking and speculation?

Yeah. I was a little mad when I went back and read what was guessed. But I think it's dual gamepads or new 3ds related. If it's new 3ds related, I'm going to feel like my time was wasted.

 

[-Horizon-]

STEAM will obviously have a husbando harem sideplot where Tiger Lily gets advances from everyone else on the squad.

You know what, I'd be perfectly fine with that too :3

Please announce one of those Metroids you're working on, Nintendo.

I can't take it anymore, Retro pls.

Hope you're ready for the third DK game to round out the trilogy.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Wouldn't Metroid be more of a thing to show at E3 though? Didn't he creator of Mother, Shigesato Itoi say he was going to do one last thing for the franchise before he was going to leave it entirely?

 

[maxcriden]

Wasn't there some range extender or something that popped up somewhere or was that purely wishful thinking and speculation?

Just wishful thinking AFAIK unfortunately

Hope you're ready for the third DK game to round out the trilogy.

Born ready!

 

[Lernaean]

I know. I need too, like an addict really.

Hope you're ready for the third DK game to round out the trilogy.

You're such an insidious person.

 

[The Elite]

Does anyone have info on the media event afterwards?

They wouldn't have a media event after a Direct if there wasn't something big to show off.

Up to this point I just assumed that was the New 3DS.

 

[Servbot24]

It won't be extra Gamepad support. Wii U hardware hasn't changed. Furthermore there would be practically no demand for such a feature. Most people don't even want one Gamepad, the number of people who would rush out to buy another seems exceedingly low. What purpose would it even serve? No game is built around the idea, and to make new software which relies on a second gamepad would be financially ludicrous.

 

[Cream]

It would be REALLY hilarious if this guy didn't actually know the New 3DS was coming, and that's what he thought he was leaking to us.

 

[cmChimera]

I know. Nintendo's going to ship a second Gamecube controller adapter to retailers.

I just barely beat you to this.

 

[maxcriden]

It's almost surely a hands-on for N3DS at the least. I wouldn't be surprised if at least MH4U and/or MM 3DS will be playable for media.

Two moons?

Bonus dungeon in MM3D!

 

[Akiller]

See Nintendo trolling everybody by announcing New Nintendo WiiU while everybody is expecting new N3DS infos instead.
It's Nintendo, so you know that could happen.

So WiiU will now support two gamepads?

The Wonderful 202 confirmed

 

[CHC]

It would be REALLY hilarious if this guy didn't actually know the New 3DS was coming, and that's what he thought he was leaking to us.

I think that's (to some degree) what's actually happening here.

 

[Molemitts]

No way we're getting Zelda Wii U news, right? I'm guessing the Zelda news if all gonna be about Majora's Mask 3D. I'm still in awe at how we got a gameplay video at The fucking Game Awards.

 

[LogN]

A mod has contacted me. I've provided proof. I'd imaging they will take it from here.

 

[Kouriozan]

Whatever Limited Edition or even if N3DS you want is announced (at least in US), pre-order asap.
You know it'll actually be really limited.

 

[TheMoon]

Yeah, 3DS had one nub, it'll have two. It's N3DS.

/case closed

I don't think there's anyone out there who doesn't know N3DS is hitting in February ^^

Dual Gamepads makes 0 sense from ANY perspective. Especially not a business one.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Does anyone have info on the media event afterwards?

They wouldn't have a media event after a Direct if there wasn't something big to show off.

Up to this point I just assumed that was the New 3DS.

I am 99.9% sure the media event is for the New 3DS since NOA seems to think we don't know it exists.

 

[Lernaean]

The Wonderful 202 confirmed

Yeah, but that would be too good, wouldn't it?

 

[Neiteio]

I got trapped inside an intrinsic field test chamber today. Now that I've pieced myself back together after being disintegrated, I have future sight and bring good news of a new F-Zero on WiiU.

It will come with a special controller add-on -- a Wii Wheel-like shell that houses a Wii Remote Plus. It's rectangular in shape. It has panels on the back of the left side and right side that act as triggers for cornering left and right. Since your fingers are back there when holding the controller, it's intuitive to "clamp down" on those panels to drift in that direction. Beyond that you're steering with motion control, but there is support for classic controls on the GamePad, Pro Controller, and even the GCN adapter.

Now then, I think I'll return to my glass sanctuary on Mars. *teleports*

[ugoo18]

It honestly feels like it's too late in the WiiU's life for dual gamepads. Seems like something better saved for next gen hardware when it can be done properly with 4 gamepads (Or at least more than 1 pad).

 

[cmChimera]

A mod has contacted me. I've provided proof. I'd imaging they will take it from here.

Is it two analog sticks?

 

[maxcriden]

No way we're getting Zelda Wii U news, right? I'm guessing the Zelda news if all gonna be about Majora's Mask 3D. I'm still in awe at how we got a gameplay video at The fucking Game Awards.

Ordinarily I'd say no way, but with the surprise showing at TGA, I guess anything could happen. I really don't expect to see anything more on Zelda till E3, though. As some have speculated, maybe a tease or mention but no new footage.

 

[Kodaman]

A mod has contacted me. I've provided proof. I'd imaging they will take it from here.

This is another clue right?

Wii U can be modded confirmed

 

[random25]

A mod has contacted me. I've provided proof. I'd imaging they will take it from here.

I have my snacks ready. So is this the time to start the show?

 

[Akiller]

Yeah, but that would be too good, wouldn't it?

Yeah, that'd be wonderful.

 

[Heroman]

It could happen, I could see them using Zelda as this year smash by having a small trailer.

 

[Chaos17]

If LogN is a GS manager then he is definitely talking about the n3DS. I highly doubt they know anything else besides that.

But Japan already has it, why Nintendo would make direct for them too then ?
There's must something else for Japanese players.
