So the Direct is at 1am here, and I do a double shift Thursday, start at 9am and won't finish until around 10pm. Eh, I'll manage lol.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

So...will Amazon do pre-orders?

I guess I'll have to hit up Gamestop ASAP and also look out for Amazon. I CANT TAKE THIS STRESS.

I thought Amazon US stopped selling Nintendo hardware directly years ago now. Has that been resolved?

Re. the Direct, we all k ow n3DS is coming. I'm hoping for a Yoshi's Woolly World release date (possible) and a new Metroid (unlikely).

 

[DarkLegion]

So how do Gamestop preorders work? As soon as they go up on the site can I go to the store to preorder or is that a separate time?

 

[Gambit]

Januari delivers!

Shame we lost our hypothetical hypethread. It was not meant to be.

It will live deep within our hearts.

And kudos to those who believed!

 

[Soul Lab]

That's exactly what i was hoping for. Woke up. Checked gaf. Got hyped. Bring it on!

New Splatoon footage is a must!
Devils third update would also be nice.

Oh and

Wave Race

My reggie is body, man!

It just depends but usually reserves in store / online begin at the same time. Not always the case but the majority of the time if its available on one its available at the other.

 

[xandaca]

Spring? So they have nothing until (effectively) April at least? Not good, Nintendo, though once again at least the back half of the year should be nicely stacked.

Satiric post?

They always say this sort of thing and show stuff available next month and beyond Spring.

 

[JonnyKong]

Delightful news to wake up to.

By mentioning the word spring, they've practically confirmed they'll be mentioning Majora's and Splatoon and new 3DS release dates.

This is my first ever Gaf hype train journey. It's exquisite.

Gotcha, thanks!

 

[Toparaman]

YUP, IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

But why does Nintendo do such a poor job of informing people about Directs? They send me e-mails about plenty of things, but never Directs. And also they only announce Directs like a day in advance.

Directs are one of the more forward-thinking things Nintendo has been doing recently, so I really wish more people knew about them.

 

[nin1000]

HYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!

You must understand, the word focus is really hard to comprehend.

 

[The Giant]

Can't wait to see Devil's Third footage. I expect a release date annouced since Itagaki said a few weeks ago that development is almost finished.

 

[JoeM86]

You mist understand, the word focus is really hard to comprehend.

They always say it focuses on a certain time period but we always get things beyond and before. Relax.

My post was satiric

 

[Char Aznable]

I hope there's a Mewtwo trailer

 

[JoeM86]

My post was satiric

So hard to tell on both the Internet and GAF

 

[Akiller]

It's nice to see a Direct announcement when you just woke up a couple of minutes ago.Good morning DirectGAF.

I just want a new Devil's Third trailer tbh, Itagaki Said its Development is almost finished after all.

 

[E-phonk]

Januari redeemed, jeej!

 

[TruSpindash]

Was reading the "januari" thread before I left the house tonight and was thinking to myself, "Great, now I'm all hyped for something that hasn't even been announced yet". But now that I've come home to see this news, the real hype can begin!

 

[Cream]

The game I'm most excited to see:

Itagaki said it's come a really long way. Apparently it looks almost like a completely different game.

 

[Pachimari]

All I expect is a New Nintendo 3DS release date for America and maybe Europe.

I still want that Animal Crossing U though.

 

[random25]

Januari redeemed, jeej!

E-phonk redeemed!

 

[Nosgoroth]

I'll be boarding a bus home as the Direct starts, but I HAVE A TRUCKLOAD OF 4G DATA FOR THIS REASON.

 

[KiTA]

As always, hoping that there's a Dragon Quest announcement.

Spoiler

And I'll leave disappointed.

 

[Mariolee]

I can feel it in my bones, you guys. Ridley becomes a new playable character in Smash 4.

 

[Blablurn]

I can feel it in my bones, you guys. Ridley becomes a new playable character in Smash 4.

 

[XaeonBE]

Will watch it afterwards I'm in the middle of an exam at that moment.

 

[Hatchtag]

I can feel it in my bones, you guys. Ridley becomes a new playable character in Smash 4.

There's probably only about 42 multi-game directs between now and the next smash, so you're bound to be right sometime...I hope.

 

[BlackJace]

Januari cometh

 

[Boss Doggie]

What is it in Japan time?

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

Pretty easy one to call, I think.

Likely:
- New 3DS + launch title(s), i.e. Xenoblade
- Monster Hunter 4 release date
- Final push for Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (MSRP, Amiibo integration)
- Reminder about Code Name: STEAM
- Release date for either Yoshi's Woolly World or Mario Maker

Possible:
- Not-new 3DS Amiibo peripheral
- Amiibo wave 4
- Upcoming indie/VC releases
- Imminent eShop surprise (e.g. Mario vs. Donkey Kong, one of Miyamoto's experiments, or something unknown)
- Details on Majora's Mask 3D enhancements and/or a release date
- Update on Super Smash Bros. updates
- Final content packs for Hyrule Warriors
- Captain Toad Amiibo patch
- Mario Party 10

Pick one:
- First footage of a known but unseen quantity far from release (Star Fox or SMTxFE)
- First announcement of an unknown minor project or third-party collaboration (equivalent to Hyrule Warriors, announced this time last year)
- Confirmed localization of a known Japanese release (e.g. Bravely Second, Fatal Frame)

Don't count on it:
- Any release dates past April (i.e. Splatoon, Xenoblade X, and probably Majora's Mask)
- Anything concerning Zelda
- The next Nintendo/Platinum partnership
- N64 Virtual Console
- Mother 3

Seriously, don't count on it:
- Announcement of a major first-party flagship release (Metroid, this means you)

 

[random25]

What is it in Japan time?

11PM. Should be around 10PM there in the Philippines.

 

[EatChildren]

Okay here's my predictions;

- Yoshi Wool game sure does look pretty but good god so boring uuuuuuuggggggghhhh
- 3DS+ is already out elsewhere but let's pretend nobody in the USA knows
- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: XENOBLADE 3DS
- Canvas Curse 2 is c00l
- 3DS sizzle reel of existing footage
- F-Zero still dead
- "But before we go, here's one last thing"
- Metroid still dead too

 

[Pila]

I hope to see a MH4U release date.

I hope they toss us a MH4U demo.

That would be terrific!!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Working 1-6 tomorrow. Crap.

 

[Scofield94941]

Amiibo wave 4 gonna be announced?

 

[Teknoman]

I hope to see a MH4U release date.



That would be terrific!!

It would be much more terrific if it was online enabled. Give us 3-4 hunts to do with online compatibility plz.

 

[Doczu]

Okay here's my predictions;


- "But before we go, here's one last thing"
- Metroid still dead too

I hope the next child you will eat will be poisonous...

 

[Gambit]

I am not actually expecting Star Fox or Zelda until E3, so I am keeping realistic expectations. Having said that, my secret hope is:

Amiibo support for The Wonderful 101. Let your heroes join forces with Wonder-Red.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

My predictions

- N3DS duh
- Xenoblade 3DS trailer with release window
- Majoras mask trailer with release date, possibly coinciding with N3DS
- Yoshi Wooly release date
- trailer of kirby
- Monster hunter 4
- Codename steam
- Please give me metroid.

 

[rokero]

Finally it's time to board the HYPE train

 

[Clefargle]

Ahhhh, that new hype train smell! ITS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

 

[Aostia]

I'm pretty sure that anything related to Animal Crossing U, Metroid Dread and U, Zelda, FE x SMT, Pokken U and FFrame V and Galaxy3 will, eventually, be at E3.

 

[fredrancour]

Amiibo wave 4 gonna be announced?

Hope so. Meaningless prediction attempt:
Ganondorf
Bowser jr
Zss
Default male Robin
Charizard
Pac man

 

[Boss Doggie]

11PM. Should be around 10PM there in the Philippines.

Yep, same day but one hour less. Yay!
