Support NeoGAF

I don't expect Miiverse on 3DS until E3 at the earliest.

I hope to see some informaton about Fast Racing Neo, but I am not getting my hopes up.

I don't expect Miiverse on 3DS until E3 at the earliest.

FYI

"We are also planning to make available a system update for Nintendo 3DS to allow its users to view and post content on Miiverse on the system within this year," Iwata said. Nintendo hopes Miiverse on the 3DS will prompt users to "understand the charm of the other platform, Wii U."

Though, that said, there's been very little said since, and it's not beyond the realm of belief for Nintendo to delay a firmware update indefinitely. Not to mention the 3DS's messaging features have been used illicitly very recently, bringing into question whether the Miiverse will be tarred with the same brush, so to speak.

I know they could totally renege on this but somehow I still.....,

who is Sammy what did he say ? to get you all mad

He was just joking, and so are the people pretending to be mad

I think

 

[Conor 419]

That's more an unrealistic scenario. Plus I assume that you're secretly already excepting this stuff or something close to it considering that you thoroughly thought about it.
Just don't overreact when it didn't meet your exceptations.

How is it unrealistic? Three teams which are known to be working on 3DS games having their titles announced, is not an unrealistic 'best case' scenario....

 

[StreetsAhead]

There's still a small chance that Japan could get an announcement in an hour at 9AM, I guess. If not, abandon all hype.

Or don't, because Shin'en.

 

[THEAnderson21]

I think we can assume a release date for Azran Legacy is probably a safe bet, along with some VC games for 3DS. Hopefully maybe SNES games for 3DS? (Highly unlikely, but you never know.)

 

[Hale-XF11]

Speaking of Shin'en, isn't Jett Rocket 2 coming out any time now? Could have sworn they were aiming for a late 2013 release.

 

[Prevolition]

Nintendo has done this time and time again. Don't get excited for Wii U announcements.

Seriously, anyone should check out the tomorrow #NintendoDirectEU.

Hype Rising

Please, Nintendo, PLEASE.

 

[blu]

All "3DS Directs" this year had Wii U stuff as well. Every. Single. One. "Focus on 3DS" doesn't mean "3DS only" after all.

Hmm.. *squints*

 

[Schnozberry]

Yeah, I would think we'll get some footage tomorrow.

 

[Oxx]

This is more true than you think.

Eep.

 

[Schnozberry]

Please, Nintendo, PLEASE.

I know they said Miiverse 3DS this year, but I'm skeptical. I hope to be proven wrong. There have been a few devs on GAF that work with 3DS that have kind of indicated it's a ways off yet.

 

[Cosmozone]

Since it's pretty much a given that Shin'en will show something, there could be more interesting indie stuff in the Direct. Last time there was only a montage.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Yeah, I would think we'll get some footage tomorrow.

Hope so, though I just realized they mentioned the EU direct specifically, so nothing for us NA folk it seems.

I wouldn't count on Miiverse happening this year. They said repeatedly that Flipnote was coming out before the end of the summer and well, we know what became of that. They've broken other promises as well, so I take every single announcement they make with a huge grain of salt.

 

[Lexxism]

Give me a unified account system Nintendo. I want to use the $30 funds from my 3DS to my WiiU.

 

[ffdgh]

FYI

I can't help but think It will be available Dec 31.

Go on...

 

[Omzz]

with 3D world releasing next week I'm sure there will be some Wii U stuff

Who and what?

Emily Rodgers said it's still coming this year in her recent tweets.

 

[Lordwindowlicker]

Stunned this isn't for Wii U. Not a good sign.

Wii U is mentioned in the official image at the top.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Who and what?

Emily Rodgers said it's still coming this year in her recent tweets.

She also said it wasn't coming in October. Guys, November isn't October.

They have to announce it tomorrow, they just have to.

Although that Iwata quote dashes my hopes of Miiverse being integrated into future 3DS games and not just being a separate app.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

To bring good luck to all Nintendo fans hoping for special announcements.

Given this isn't about the Wii U and there's no JP Direct, I suspect word I heard of Bayonetta getting ported to Wii U may have been smoke, no fire.

Nah, it's probably true, I'd be more shocked if they didn't port Bayonetta 1.

What kinda self sabotage? I'm not buying Bayonetta 2 if I can't play Bayonetta 1, and I know I'm not alone.

 

[D-e-f-]

They won't. Not this year.

 

[Thomas_Daly]

Nintendo needs to stop with the 3ds the thing sells itself now focus on wii u

the year of wii u

10 exclusive wii u titles in 12 months lets go nintendo

 

[SuperSah]

Huh?

I kinda hope Japan doesn't announce one because I want localization announcements. MH4, DQ7, Tomodachi Collection, and Fantasy Life plz

 

[Mpl90]

Well, no Japan Direct could also mean that, this time, there could be one-two significant Western third party announcements for 3DS.























No, seriously, maybe that's the reason.

Spoiler

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Japan getting a Nintendo Direct (too) and their being localisation announcements are not related, though?

 

[Ragus]

2013 was goddamn awesome. I for one welcome again our ongoing overlord. Nintendo 3DS.

Let's do this shit. Hyped as fuck.

 

[SirShandy]

I'm kind of tired of people telling me not to be excited about things. It's one of the most annoying things you can do. Would you go up to people in real life and point at them and tell them not to get excited about something? What are you the excitement police?

Not to mention there have been numerous psychological studies that show that anticipation has no bearing on the actual emotional outcome. More evidence points to expectations becoming self fulfilling prophecy. So if you expect disappointment, your likely to be disappointed no matter the outcome.

 

[Muzy72]

Japan getting a Nintendo Direct (too) and their being localisation announcements are not related, though?

But it's more likely if it's a western only Direct I think

 

[Taker666]

Nintendo has done this time and time again. Don't get excited for Wii U announcements.

People on this forum have done it to themselves time and time again....even when Nintendo have been very specific in regards to what to expect.

The fact there isn't a Japanese Direct pretty much guarantees there will no big announcements. At best it'll be new eshop stuff and localised stuff. Wii U wise I suppose there's a slim chance of a new DK trailer and Nintendo TVii release date for Europe.

 

[Majestad]

New StarFox for 3DS. Shin'en x Treasure

Please.

 

[StreetsAhead]

But it's more likely if it's a western only Direct I think

I cannot fathom the reason why. Localisations have been announced in simultaneous directs before (Bravely Default, for example)

 

[secretanchitman]

Most likely happen:

-DKC release date
-Mario Kart release date

Wishing but probably won't happen:

-Smash Bros release date

 

[Mark1]

All "3DS Directs" this year had Wii U stuff as well. Every. Single. One. "Focus on 3DS" doesn't mean "3DS only" after all.

This - expect Smash Bros news.

And YES to MiiVerse on 3DS now

 

[Anteo]

FYI

New 3DS model with extra ram confirmed!

Spoiler

I actally expect a new model that can run Miiverse

 

[Berordn]

Wishing but probably won't happen:
-Smash Bros release date

I'm willing to bet that they're going to avoid giving a specific date for that, lest we get more Brawl level delays.

 

[Mpl90]

I cannot fathom the reason why. Localisations have been announced in simultaneous directs before (Bravely Default, for example)

Yeah, seriously. Localisations announcements happened in worldwide Directs with no problem at all, why such a theory. I repeat, maybe an exclusively Western Direct means we'll get, after quite some time, and maybe for the first time on the console, mid-to-mid-high Western third party an-mmmhpsAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH.

Spoiler

Now, seriously...I'd love to see that happen, but I'm perfectly aware it's 100% impossible ;_;

 

[zroid]

I cannot fathom the reason why. Localisations have been announced in simultaneous directs before (Bravely Default, for example)

I would say that the fact there's no Japanese Direct implies they don't have anything to talk about for Japanese audiences. The most concrete examples of this are games which were already released in Japan. They could make localization announcements in any Direct, but the probability of it happening increases in a NA+EU only Direct.

 

[ASTROID2]

New 3DS model with extra ram confirmed!

Spoiler

I don't see why they would need more ram since you can already use the browser while playing a game. This shouldn't be much different.

We don't know if there will be a Japan Direct yet. If we go by the usual release pattern it's not until <10 hours later we should expect an announcement of Japanese Direct.

True, but the timing makes it unlikely. If it were simultaneous (which wasn't always the case, but it has been for a while), it would be at 1am in Japan.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Can't remember a Direct ever being this late on in the day actually.

 

[Sendou]

True. This is two hours later than the usual Direct time.

 

[Hale-XF11]

It's later in the day AND it's on a Wednesday...hmmmm...
