Why not announce BOTH!??!?!?!

Just like they technically announced both the Wii U Zelda and Wind Waker remake.

Because we desperately need an original Zelda handheld announced that isn't a touch controlled repeat dungeon mandatory flute mess.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Wonder if there's any chance in hell of more Pokemon footage.

 

[NotLiquid]

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, let's go

 

[Wiz]

All I want are RELEASE DATES.

 

[Aeana]

Netto-kun asked me to close his thread and open this one, so here we are.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Alive!

Anyway, how big is AC as a download?

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Cheesy redeemed!

 

[methodman]

the cheese is back!

 

[grimshawish]

Netto-kun asked me to close his thread and open this one, so here we are.

The hype train has become a hype boat and we're being rocked from side to side!

 

[Shard]

Good, now Cheese can stop complaining.

 

[razgriz417]

lol I just bought the 3dsxl and FE today, guess I'll have to wait til after this to open it, really hoping for a better color :/

 

[Zenaku]

Eh, post again?

Nintendo Japan website has a 9 minute video of Iwata apologizing for the stock problems for AC, and explaining why/offering alternatives (download version).

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/egdj/info/movie.html

Basically, the game requires a larger space for save data than any other 3DS game, and needs to use a special type of ROM (SLC-NAND) to save the data to quickly. It's more expensive than MLC-NAND (which is used by all other 3DS games), faster and lasts a lot longer (about 10-20x as many writes). It's because the game uses this type of ROM that they can't just use cartridges from other games.

Problems with creating these cartridges may also have a hand in AC not being available worldwide; they can't even create enough for Japan let alone other regions.

Basically, I wouldn't count on a date for AC just yet.

Wii U third party damage control will be interesting.

 

[beast786]

I think they will come out storming.

But, please a new EAD IP. Please.

Thanks

 

[Spieler Eins]

Wii U third party damage control will be interesting.

5 minute interview about how awesome Aliens is gonna be on Wii U.

It will be... beautiful.

 

[DaBoss]

I hope this makes me even more happy about my recent 3DS XL purchase. I'm already really happy.

 

[GAMERG0D]

They better announce an Animal Crossing release date, we've been waiting forever.

 

[bomb]

Allllllllll Aboarddddddddddd!!!!!

 

[GameE]

Why are people talking about a japanese ND when there isnt one? They have always been announced by now havent they?

 

[duckroll]

Netto-kun asked me to close his thread and open this one, so here we are.

But this thread is inaccurate. There is no JP Direct.

 

[Linkhero1]

My predictions regarding Wii U. Pikmin 3 and W101 given release dates and possibly moved up in from when they intended on releasing them due to the Rayman delay.

But this thread is inaccurate. There is no JP Direct.

Also NoA will have Wii U news!

 

[_illmatic_]

I'm honestly just hoping for more 3DS XL colors in NA. After all the announcements last Direct I'm good. More screens and video will be cool, but I'm not really expecting nothing new.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

I think its just release dates and localization announcements, no megatons, I already got mine in the last direct, MonolithSoft <3

 

[fates]

Well now, this is interesting.

I've been saying in the threads for it that I think a Dragon Quest VII translation is highly unlikely given the sheer amount of translations that would have to be put into it. I doubt either Square Enix (especially them, as they are now) or Nintendo would want to risk that.

However, I'd gladly find a crow and eat it if they can deliver.

 

[Currygan]

W101, Pikmin 3 release dates is all I'm asking for

 

[stuminus3]

My prediction is that this is going to be a public beheading of Yves Guillemot. Nintendo finally going "M" rated.

I'd settle for a Pikmin 3 release date.

 

[Cheesemeister]

But this thread is inaccurate. There is no JP Direct.

I never said there was. The title simply lists times for the simultaneous broadcast.

 

[Meesh]

Looking forward to some "interesting" Wii U news.

Same, unannounced titles get???

 

[Tadale]

Animal Crossing release date, Pikmin release date.

 

[duckroll]

I never said there was. The title simply lists times for the simultaneous broadcast.

False marketing! I want a refund!

 

[DaBoss]

Looking forward to some "interesting" Wii U news.

You mean interesting PS360 news.

 

[udivision]

Same, unannounced titles get???

He means ports to PS360. "Interesting" is a codeword now.

You mean interesting PS360 news.

This guy gets it.

 

[WiiredShawn]

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day? Holy halibut, Batman, I almost forgot.

...anyway, let's DO THIS!

 

[Cheesemeister]

False marketing! I want a refund!

Do you take PayPal?

 

[Screamapillar]

If there's no Japanese Direct, then it could probably mean localization titles being announced for the West. Which means good news.

That is my hope.

Fantasy Life. Bravely Default. DQVII. All need to be localized in the west. Nintendo needs to give me a reason to not sell my 3DS after I beat Luigi's Mansion next month.

 

[duckroll]

Do you take PayPal?

Yes, please credit 2 replies to my account!

 

[Why would you do that?]

Good, now Cheese can stop complaining.

I don't think he was the one really complaining, everyone else was, haha. That said, there usually is a NA/EU thread as well as a JP thread, so they could both be open. That's up to the mods, I guess.
Edit: For some reason, I thought there was a Japanese one...


That aside... Go HarmoKnight! Surprise us with a Feb. release!

As I was saying, there is no JP Direct announced! Lol.

Gosh, all my dreams. Right here.

 

[Padawan of Windu]

With Iwata seemingly not at GDC to announce the new handheld Zelda as we've seen for Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass, could we maybe see it here? Oh god I hope so! Timing's about right.

 

[CriterionDog]

HYPE!! Maybe some news on SMT X Fire Emblem? Animal Crossing New Leaf release date? 3DS Zelda announcement? New Starfox? New Rayman Legends demo? Wii U third party game announcements? Trailers for Yoshi? More info for Super Smash Bros. 4?

I am too hyped. I am only expecting one of these things to happen. lol

 

[Forkball]

Let's think of the most disappointing things that could happen:

Five minute discussion about 3DS sales
Five minute recap on games currently available for 3DS
Five minute discussion about unreleased games we already know are coming
Pokemon mentioned but no new info
Direct ends with 1:30s Luigi's Mansion trailer

 

[LiK]

CHEESY

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So many threads, but which is the real thread for when shit hits the fan tomorrow?

You could merge all the threads but first you need to contact Nintendo customer service.

Haha, this will most likely happen.

This is what we all should hope for, only for in the end all of us to be surprised from the awesome announcements!

 

[Jackano]

GAF > Cheesemeister > GAF.

I don't except Wii U news except for maybe a summary of what is available those days (Tank Tank Tank and Zen Pinball 2 freebies).

Like I said in the other thread, it's Valentine so the pink 3DS XL will be here.

 

[jmizzal]

I was gonna sleep late tomorrow lol, guess I gotta wake up before 9

 

[Strike]

Another one already?

 

[Jacobbles]

I said it before, and I'll say it again;

DRAGON QUEST OR BUST, BABY
