[MillionStabs]

I'm guessing that's September 1st, not January 9th

 

[Jim_Cacher]

Out of nowhere

 

[The Last One]

Dragon Ball Fusion time then.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Aww man nice a Nintendo direct, but only 3DS?

 

[randomusername]

I'm guessing that's September 1st, not January 9th

Yep lol

 

[JinjoUnchained]

Ugh, saw the title and thought it was the NX reveal.

 

[kuroneko0509]

NCL tweeted it... so pretty much worldwide direct

Yeah it's wacky European dates. So two directs in September or do we need to wait even longer for the NX reveal?

 

[PorygonVandal]

Nintendo Co Ltd also announcing it

 

[RobotVM]

Will they announce when they will talk more about the NX in this direct??

 

[eefara]

C'mon, Nintendo. A 3DS direct?

 

[Mediking]

..... well.......... it's better than nothing! Hahahaha. Let's go.

 

[Oregano]

Weird that the new Galaxy 3DS was announced separately...

But yaya new Nintendo Direct!

 

[novabolt]

The NX was always a 3DS add-on?

 

[dwuuu]

yes !

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Enough 3DS!!!

I can't take anymore of this. Dammit, Nintendo!!!

 

[LewieP]

Fingers crossed for Picross 3D 2 localisation announcement.

 

[Stairouais]

...


C'mon, seriously...

 

[bigkrev]

SO 10:00 AM tomorrow morning EDT?

 

[TrueBlue]

Bwahahaha!

 

[kennyamr]

3DS...
oh well. Next time maybe.

 

[Orakio Rob]

Jesus, just announce the damn NX, Nintendo!

...

Sorry, guys. Be still, my heart, be still...

 

[ChaosXVI]

I gasped very loudly when I saw the thread title, and my co-workers turned to me confused and I was like "sorry, thought I saw something else".

Man, COME ON! There's no way they don't at least tease SOMETHING about NX at this point. Even just a wink!

 

[JoeM86]

...


C'mon, seriously...

What? Are they not allowed to cover systems and games just because there's something else ALSO on the horizon?

 

[Notor!ousG]

What the heck are they thinking?

We want NX info!

 

[javac]

Ambassador program, 3DS owners all receive NX for free.

 

[Dark Cloud]

SO 10:00 AM tomorrow morning EDT?

I thought it was 48 hours from now.

 

[Vampirolol]

Nintendo master troll.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

For real, 3DS?

 

[GasProblem]

Well, ok. Atleast it's something. Maybe we'll get a western announcement of Monster Hunter Stories out of this.

 

[VegiHam]

Awesome, bring it on! Picross 3D 2 please!

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Well I guess that's a likely announcement event for the dragon ball 3ds game.

 

[phanphare]

nice, getting everything out of the way for NX

 

[yoonshik]

I'm here for Picross 3D 2.

 

[SuperSah]

Spoiler

[TheBaldEmperor]

Aww man nice a Nintendo direct, but only 3DS?

[Tregard]

This is a farce

 

[serenewarfare]

Maybe they announce the NX Direct during this one.

 

[Luq]

GET ON BOARD EVERYONE, HYPE TRAIN IN DEPARTING

RIGHT

NOW

Looking forward to it, hopefully some more materials from Sun/Moon and possibly some amiibos?

 

[Hero of Legend]

http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/09-01-2016/

NA.

 

[radio_apeshot]

Jesus H. Christ my heart skipped a beat.

You Nintendo, you...

 

[Raiden1018]

FUUCKKKK!!!

 

[black_clavus]

It's 3DS Direct, I was hyped for a second :')

why you do this to me, ninty?

 

[brickarts295]

I read too slow -_-

 

[JoeM86]

What the heck are they thinking?

We want NX info!

Covering products that are out before then?

Does Nintendo have to be a complete standstill until the NX? Come on.

 

[matrix-cat]

Fingers crossed for Picross 3D 2 localisation announcement.

Yeah, this.

Unfortunately I expect this to mean that we're not going to get the NX reveal in September.

 

[netgrimoire]

Aww man nice a Nintendo direct, but only 3DS?

Get them out of the way and then near the end of the month, show the NX?

 

[Snkfanatic]

Please keep the hype in check lol....

 

[javac]

Nintendo implementing that 3rd pillar for real this time.
