Fuck metro.

Not really. There is of course going to be a concentration as no other major events are ongoing -- but as you can see now -- all those trending topics have faded. Mere minutes after (if not seconds). Meaning there is no staying power -- no real trend. Neither is GAF's stability against a tepid spike of interest. GAF has gone down easily and frequently as of late.
I don't think that's a very good idea. A Melbourne run hype train would be overcrowded on a 40°C day, both the services before and after cancelled, and this already late.
EDIT: Plus the air conditioning would be broken, and Metcops on the patrol.
The whole point of these is direct communication. A press release goes to the media first, giving them control.I don't know if this has been mentioned before in other ND threads, but I agree with NinjaScooter's sentiment that this ND did not need to exist. I know Ninty is attempting to change how they promulgate gaming information, but I think audiences are so conditioned to associate "presentations" and anything "official" with some type of meaningful announcement. I get people like the intimacy the videos bring, but if Nintendo had a simple press release, do you know how big that thread would be? A fraction of this one. But I guess that's what they want?
Nintendo could've announced most of this "Nintendo Direct" with a Press Release, yet they didn't. I really wonder what the point of it is when they release this "thing" I just watched with either no significant info, or no elaboration. "Here's Wonderful 101's release date, lol."
Because it was important to them to announce release dates separately? These are titles that people have been waiting for.I don't understand the point on this ND, why not just include this non eventful information in the upcoming E3 ND?

Well what's stopping them from announcing the release dates without a ND?Because it was important to them to announce release dates separately? These are titles that people have been waiting for.

Anyone who expected megatons from this particular direct is an idiot.
Because press releases don't come DIRECTLY to fucking people owning the machines. Are you guys even thinking sometimes?
That's the fucking point of these, not hype and "surprises" to entertain internet.
Did Iwata have a lazy eye on the EU direct or are his eyes that irregular? Never noticed it as much before.
Anyone have a summary?

I except at least five megatons every Nintendo Direct. If it doesn't have them, I consider it the worst Nintendo Direct ever.
So waited to make a decision to sell my wii u today, yep selling.

So it's worse than I thought, now Wonderful 101 got the boot to Fall for North America and not even Wii U Play and Wii U Fit are out for Summer. Not even news about the next system update or a new Wonderful 101 trailer. Nintendo Direct did not deliver this time.
Few people own the Wii U, having these Nintendo Directs with lackluster content to potentially interested parties is damaging to Nintendo whether or not you want to believe it. If Nintendo wants people to watch their directs for E3 instead of expecting a huge press conference, they need to put in information that will seem interesting to non-owners of Nintendo consoles, otherwise they don't want people like me to watch future Nintendo Directs.
nope.
EDIT: Gaf admins might want to look into using Cloudflare so the board doesn't go down so much.
What is "damaging" is people with no brains spamming bullshit. The number of people owning the wii U is irrelevant, the concept of the Direct is what it is, be it for 3Ds or WiiU or whatever.
The press will relay the releases dates in any case.
The Directs serve to show games and interest people in games for their systems. That's it. You can spin whatever you like.
And regardless, Direct or not, that's not the issue here. They announced something yesterday and we had it. Summer release dates. That's fucking it. People bitching for more are in dire need of medication or a life. Seriously. How can people not even see the stupidity in their comments.
This board is all for Hype and Announcements nowadays.
Why people are being bitter about this direct since they already emphasized that they will only show Spring and Summer games.
calm down, lil' warrior. It'll be alright.
Just got in from working.
Can someone give me a rundown?????
Mario? Zelda?
What games did they talk about?
Does this have any connection to the Direct? Because that was announced yesterday. You waited one day?So waited to make a decision to sell my wii u today, yep selling.

A lot of people on GAF let their imaginations run wild and then get disappointed.Why people are being bitter about this direct since they already emphasized that they will only show Spring and Summer games.
I'm sorry I can't stand the absurdity. It was already there when people bitched about no Vita news during the PS4 Reveal. What the hell.
And those Directs are happening far more often.
At least bitch for something real and true.

My only question is: Where is Wii Fit U or Wii Play U?
People like to get mad as if e3 isnt right around the corner..Why people are being bitter about this direct since they already emphasized that they will only show Spring and Summer games.
