[Graphics Horse]

Mario Kart 8
Yoshi Yarn
Wii Sports Club - Golf

Yoshi Yarn? I think they'll want to not push all their platformers out at the same time.

[Zalman]

I wish it was an hour later. Oh well. I'm hyped.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Cranky Kong for Smash

Haha. I applaud you for making a reason to post this gif.

 

[PetrCobra]

Copy/paste of my reply from FB:

There will be nothing new except stuff on the level of Cranky Kong. No good or exciting news. I'd love to be wrong but Nintendo has been SO lame with their hype efforts lately...
Sad thing is that I would consider myself to be wrong even if there was, say, a new trailer for X. I'm that desperate.

 

[MADGAME]

Nintendo just announced it on Twitter : a new Nintendo Direct will be broadcast tomorrow at 3PM (GMT+1), 6AM PST.

Will focus on upcoming Wii U and 3DS games up to Spring 2014.

Sounds like no new title announcements then.

 

[Griss]

Holy crap, a panic direct already!

This is a last ditch attempt to convince those fence-sitters like me before Christmas. Should be a good 'un!

Hype!

 

[Always-honest]

Mario Kart and DKC no doubt

Well, fine with me. I'd like to see more.

 

[Nugg]

I expect nothing, let's see how that will do.

Don't be Cranky

 

[BassForever]

Wait I'm confused how is it airing 9am on the west coast and 6am on the east coast? Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Anyways CHOO CHOO!

 

[big_erk]

Oh Lord...
Watch it being something trivial...

Hopefully they learned something from the VGX debacle.

 

[ZealousD]

Nintendo announces that 2014 is "Year of the Cranky".

-Cranky DLC.for new DKC game
-New game on Nintendo eShop: "Cranky Crush". It's a puzzle game like Bejeweled.
-Followup to DKC: Tropical Freeze announced. It's called "Donkey Kong Country: Cranky's Kong Quest". It's being worked on by Retro Studios. They cancelled the next Metroid game because they knew how much fans want more Cranky.

 

[Thomas_Daly]
