At least Reggie knows wich Donkey Kong Country series is the best!
But on the other hand, Dumb Drum is the shittiest boss by quite some margin.

Virtual Boy games coming to 3DS Virtual Console, confirmed.

Sure, in schoolyard rules, Nintendo called dibs first.
But I'm generally assuming the people running Square-Enix and Nintendo are both adults and could pick up phones.

A glimpse of a real FF VII remake and see everyone moving from the Nintendo stream to Square's.
If a publisher/developer can garner as much attention as Nintendo, it's Square Enix. Square is no push over.

Thanks for confirming. The only big games are Zelda U (with nearly no footage) and Splatoon. Starfox seems to be a low budget game.
So in regard to game announcements, what exactly did Nintendo amazing last year? The thing that did they right was the humor and Treehouse Events, except of that it was a pretty lame E3
Meanwhile at Nintendo.
That's what people call : trolling your public
The joke is that Reggie fired Bill to keep the kid around since he speaks fluent Japanese and can work in localization. Bill's tweet was supposed to tie into the video but he jumped the gun.

Hahaha, it's like there's people like this every year.
Mario Maker being the Holiday title makes sense. If they truly flesh out the level creator and online share capabilities this should fare well.
It's an ongoing Direct joke.
Started years ago when he insulted Reggie's Japanese.

I wonder what they'll have for the World Championship. Smash, Mario Kart and Splatoon are obvious, but I'm expecting surprises.
Mario Maker at Best Buy sounds interesting, but it's not enough to make me wait in line. Maybe there'll be more?

I consider myself pretty jaded and even I thought that video was pretty fun to watch.
Oh...I forgot that he spoke fluent Japanese and headed up localization. All makes sense now, thanks.
They also did a pretty nice Smash Bros tournament. Announced lot's of games and focused on showing each one in depth with actual gameplay instead of CG trailers wich nowadays is assure it will totally don't look like that on the final product.

Last year's video had Zelda imagery and we got Zelda U. That Mario Pin+galaxy music is...hmm

The other thread was closed when I hit Post comment, so here is my actual post I wanted to post. Post.
More like "Not My Problem, Jr.", amirite?
Unrelated to that, my guess is (and I'm calling it now) that they will announce the following at their E3 stream-thingy (among other things), (reasons in italics):
- Downloadable GameCube games for Wii U (Probably a comparable promotion as with the Wii titles where the first three games are 50% off for the first week) (Reggie training with GameCubes, duh)
--- related to that my guess is the first three games will be Luigi's Mansion or Super Mario Sunshine, F-Zero GX and Pikmin (no Metroid Prime, because of MPTrilogy), price is probably $15-20 or so. (LM because it was the first GC title, F-Zero because of MK8 teasing it all over its DLC, Pikmin because there needs to be a third successful Nintendo IP that makes sense)
- Virtual Boy VC for 3DS (hopefully in grey/black, not red/black), though with only Wario Land VB, Mario Clash and something whatever who cares about any other game for Virtual Boy seriously you must be crazy if you think that there is any other good game on that thing aside from VB Wario Land (VB featured quite prominently in the video; Games are just guesses because, come on, there is nothing good on VB except for Wario Land)
--- probably at $5-7 or something, I don't know (GB(C) games on 3DS are $4-5 depending on the game, so it makes sense if VB games are just a little bit more expensive than that because it's a younger system and stuff)
- More fucking Donkey Kong (Reggie eating bananas while watching someone good play DKC)
- Also more downloadable Wii titles for Wii U (Reggie training with Wiimote+Nunchuk)
- A new Punch-Out title (Reggie wearing pink trainers, just like Little Mac)
- Still no Mother 3 for western audiences (lack of anything Mother/Earthbound related in that video)
- Nintendo World Championship 2015 (...)
So I really hope that this World Championship really means WORLD Championship in the sense of "Everywhere where you can buy Nintendo stuff" instead of "America and some people who happened to be in America at that time because America".

It is actually specifically dampflokfreund every year.
Bill made fun of Reggie for his Japanese about three years ago leading up to the Wii U's launch. Reggie "sent him to Japan" afterwards but the truth is Reggie was looking for the perfect excuse to get rid of him all along.
Nintendo has the deepest lore.

You can actually pinpoint the second when his heart rips in half.

Reposting from locked thread,
I'm a foolish man who would very likely be eating crow on this, but would they actually tease possible releases like this?
1) Wii U RAM expansion back, Retro confirmed Donkey Kong 64 Returns
2) Punch-Out!!
3) StarFox (x Platinum Games would make many a grown man weep with joy)
4) Cooking Mama
5) (This is on the tip of my tongue it sounds so familiar but I got nothing)
6) MOTHERFUCKIN' F-ZERO

It was all a joke Bill just posted it too early on Twitter!!!
The joke was used as a way for Reggie to get his job back after training and as the kid can speak Japanese then Bill no longer needs to be a translator for them!
If you belief the joke to be mean hearted due to it being about Bill being fired then lul wut...
everything

You guys are mixing game announcements with presentation of games announcements. It is indeed true that they did a great job on delivering the news, without going for CGI like many companys. However, that does not mean that there were a lof of game announcements.
As I stated in the post above, there were only Zelda U and Splatoon as big games.
Please read my entire post.

Also reposting this gif from the other thread:
Didn't Bill say that we won't have a mainline Mario game this year? I mean, it's not a 100% fact, but why would he say that if he didn't know anything?

That was hysterical. Was this done by Mega64? Seems like their humor.
