27 MINUTES!!!! But who's counting...

 

[schuelma]

I imagine they're going to say something about MH4

It's not a first party game, but come on.

I think the Japanese description was for 1st party Wii U titles though..

 

[Vinnk]

Come on New Play Control Xenoblade!

 

[Samurai_Heart]

There's always room on people's heads... except when there is not.


No longer taking any additional riders though, the bus has officially left the terminal. I'll get everyone in and the final image up before the ND starts. Thank you all for riding Hype bus line, in the unfortunate chance of a fatal crash, you will all die.

Even so, please remember to ride the next Hype enterprise vehicle in the coming weeks.



(edit) To be clear, anyone who posted BEFORE this post is guaranteed a spot. I might try to squeeze a couple more on if there is time. I'll have the updated picture up before the show starts.

You'll need to upgrade your Terms of Use policy for giant boulders:

Edit: and monsters:

I wonder why it's 39 minutes unless something big is coming. 30 minutes for NA that includes 3DS is normal.

 

[gngf123]

The bus is filling out nicely!

Here's my avatar if someone can find room: http://i.minus.com/i1PQIM9suaCzV.png

Hyped for this now, thought I'd miss it.

 

[freakzilla3000]

Although I'm only expecting The Wonderful 101, New Super Luigi, Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3 and Game and Wario, there is bound to be at least 1 surprise due to the fact that it's worldwide...

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I was always watchin that JP direct.. we only got a little longer nintengaf

 

[Nothing1016]

Only a Nintendo thread could have people excited for a hype bus. I love it. lol

Edit: Can we get on a bus via Wii U panorama? it would provide a sense of realism.

 

[goomba]

Any room left on the bus?

 

[Kouriozan]

Can't wait for 20 boring min. and "one last thing before you leave" megaton.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

HNNGGG HYPE, 25 MIN TO GLORY!!!

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

If this bus crashes... I regret nothing.

 

[Darryl]

i usually listen to the audio of NA and primarily watch the JP stream

 

[Javier]

 

[Starphoenix]

Holy moly at people never having missed a single Direct up until now :O

I have yet to miss a ND. Been able to watch every single one. Not sure how my work and college schedule have allowed for it, but I've been fortunate in that regard.

Spoiler

And now watch me work when Nintendo's E3 Direct is scheduled.

 

[bomb]

Reggie has 27 minutes to stop Microsoft from releasing a new console.

 

[DaBoss]

ND setup is go.

 

[Galang]

Still hoping there's room left on the bus

 

[schuelma]

I'll predict Xenoblade HD as the summer surprise.

 

[Hakai]

It's coming guys!!! HYPE!!!

 

[Kacho]

ND setup is go.

Awesome man!

 

[Revven]

The end is nigh! Today is Nintendomination

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

ND Setup is go!

Hey, I can see myself. Hi, me!

Spoiler

Hi!

 

[gemoran4]

so is there a stream for this?

 

[Scum]

I just Wonderful 101 news and a release date. That'd do just fine!
Have fun, lads. I'll catch up later. Time for work. :-/

 

[Huw_Dawson]

I cannot watch this because I am at work. I'll catch up at 4pm BST...

 

[Starphoenix]

Still hoping there's room left on the bus

Only if someone dies.

 

[Dmax3901]

ND setup is go.

It's missing Cheesemeister's Twitter feed!

 

[Roo]

Do we know if Cheesemeister is doing the "official" ND thread?
We're less than 30 minutes away and there's no sign of him or the thread for that matter.

 

[Beetleking11]

Shibata version..

 

[axisofweevils]

Missed my seat on the hype bus. :/ Oh well, at least the dinosaur won't eat me.

 

[Crazypanda_85]

I am at my own COLLEGE GRADUATION and I'm still checking in on the hype train lol

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Still hoping there's room left on the bus

I don't think I'm on the bus either, but we're still on the hype train baby!

 

[Darryl]

i seen a tweet by him pop up on the JP stream, hes here somewhere

 

[8bits]

I'll predict Xenoblade HD as the summer surprise.

I can't see how that wouldn't be a great idea. Wasn't it only sold at Gamestop originally? Surely they missed out on some potential customers because of that. You know, not being able to see/find the game at other stores.

 

[Volotaire]

please "only for" mine.
SNES version, please.

=)

This isn't the usual hour to announce these things. Should I even bother with a thread?

So yeah.

 

[Chance Hale]

I made the bus, thank you so much <3 This is fun

 

[JaseMath]

I hope the new Retro's Star Tropics reboot isn't announced. I haven't done my RttP yet.

 

[TheJerit]

That Balmer expression is perfect lol

Indeed it is. Can't stop giggling at it. That gif is so goddamn perfect...

 

[Minions]

JP ND is longer because more games are coming out during the summer. IE. There is no localization like there is here. Some of the games that are in JP ND will be in NA direct before E3 since localization takes a few months. That is my guess anyway.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

INB4PIKMIN3WALKTHROUGH

 

[beanman25]

I'm chasing the bus on foot

 

[Kerub]

I am at my own COLLEGE GRADUATION and I'm still checking in on the hype train lol

Congrats!

 

[bomb]

What if Iwata has the luigi hat on and says " Actually we fooled you all, its the year of the Waluigi" and then throws his luigi hat into the "will it blend" blender and puts on a waluigi hat and black lipstick

 

[freakzilla3000]

I just hope we get a solid release date for New Super Luigi and The Wonderful 101

 

[Qurupeke]

Hype.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

I've got money ready to order a Wii U.

Come on Nintendo, give me a reason to go and buy one.

Also Japan still hasn't gotten Lego City. That might be 5 min.
