Support NeoGAF

[Zukkoyaki]

Realistic Predictions:

3DS
- New 3DS + Price + Release date for North America & Europe
- Xenoblade N3DS release date
- Monster Hunter 4 release date
- Majora's Mask 3D release date + Bundle announcement
- Codename Steam launch trailer
- Etrian Mystery Dungeon trailer + Release date

Wii-U
- Kirby and the Rainbow Curse launch trailer
- Yoshi's Woolly World trailer + Release date (Probably around March)
- Splatoon single player gameplay + Release date (Probably around April)
- Mario Maker footage + Release date (Probably around May/June)
- Amiibo wave 4 announced
- Some e-shop stuff

And then they end the direct with a debut teaser for the new Star Fox and promise that we'll see it at E3 along with Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zelda, and more.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

[Rosur]

Will their be any EU dates/ specific info or is this just an NA focused one?


Only expecting:
-New 3DS launch date/ Prices.
-With the New 3DS info Xenoblade 3DS will be shown.
-New Majora's Mask info.
-Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Info (Release date and probably another trailer with price announced).
-Maybe some Yoshi's Wooly World and Splatoon Info.
-Date Mewtwo for Smash be announced and a DLC pack announced (buy it once get it for both 3DS and Wii U versions, if both registered to the same account).
-Maybe some Mario Kart pack 2 DLC info.
-An unannounced game or 2 for the 3DS.

 

[dolabla]

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).

The last time I can remember Amazon selling 3DS's was around Black Friday 2013 - Christmas 2013, then they just disappeared again. I bought an XL from them on Black Friday for like $150.

 

[E-phonk]

What's interesting is they can't talk about the new 3ds in the japanese Direct, nor talk about Monster Hunter 4 since both are out.

So I expect at least some new 3DS game announcements for japan.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Why do you have to be right?

EC is hardly ever right about these things lol

 

[dampflokfreund]

Yesterday I said I want to wake up with a Nintendo Direct announcement. Mission successful!

 

[Star Falcon]

Pray!

Hoping for some info on Smash DLC as well as new Zelda and Starfox.

 

[Fandangox]

- F-Zero still dead

I just want closure :c

 

[Lernaean]

Will their be any EU dates/ specific info or is this just an NA focused one?

There will be, in the EU Direct.

 

[Xater]

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 in the rest of the world knows
- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: XENOBLADE 3DS
- Canvas Curse 2 is c00l but you are still not getting it in Europe in February because fuck you.
- 3DS sizzle reel of existing footage
- F-Zero still dead
- "But before we go, here's one last thing"
- Metroid still dead too

Fixed, otherwise accurate.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

SNES Remix made available on eShop during the Direct,

BELIEVE

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I was expecting Thursday but tomorrow is even better.

 

[walnuts]

My predictions

3DS:
- New 3DS launch date
- Majora's Mask news & amiibo support
- Xenoblade news & amiibo support
- Steam news & amiibo support
- Irrelevant game announcement
- Pokemon game announcement

Wii U
- Kirby launch date & amiibo support
- Yoshi approximate launch date & amiibo support
- Mario Maker news & amiibo support
- Splatoon news
- Xenoblade X delayed to 2016
- Mario Party news & amiibo support

Nothing from
- Devil's third
- Starfox
- Zelda
- SMTxFE
- Fatal Frame V

Something tells me this Direct will be boring again. I think I will only find Splatoon interesting.

 

[Pila]

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

Don't do that buddy, now I want it. =P

Bill: "This is the analog nub. It's kind of like a clitoris on your New 3DS. Only when you rub it, it changes the camera angle. Imagine if was like that in real life. 'Honey, why do you keep looking up when I rub down? Oh wait, I inverted the y-axis on your clit.'"

Also shouldn't they let us know what the Amii o support on Captain Toad will be?

Endless Ocean and Zak n Wiki 3DS please

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Watch half of it be about god damn Codename Steam.

 

[Hatchtag]

Watch half of it be about god damn Codename Steam.

I kinda cringe when they talk about it. SRPGs take too long to show off and just aren't interesting to hear about. I'm sure it'll be fun, but I just don't care to learn much about it until I actually get to play it.

Dude, still place on your hypetrain?

 

[Neiteio]

Just make the whole Direct about Majora's Mask 3D

That's all we need

 

[Blues1990]

Just make the whole Direct about Majora's Mask 3D

That's all we need.

"It's the Nintendo Direct that NeoGAF deserves, but not the one it needs right now."

 

[Boss Doggie]

You guys never learn from hyping lol

 

[walnuts]

Just saw this new leak on twitter:

Really hype for Samus Sniper Squad and Mario Prom. Lego Akira seems promising too.

OMG!! Give me the Animetroid now ninty!!

As they should. It doesn't make sense to introduce a product to a market by assuming they're all message board denizens pouring over import news. I'd bet a good portion of this site doesn't even know the details.

- Xenoblade X delayed to 2016

Fortunately there doesn't seem to be any chance of that. According to developer tweets they're pretty much done.

 

[KooopaKid]

This will be the biggest Nintendo Direct of All Time. OF ALL TIME!

Seriously, we're going to get Majora's Mask and Splatoon release dates. Please be excited!

 

[Evo X]

Mother 3 stealth announcement. Available for free with every N3DS purchase!

Let me dream. ;_;

 

[Mpl90]

Bill: "This is the analog nub. It's kind of like a clitoris on your New 3DS. Only when you rub it, it changes the camera angle. Imagine if was like that in real life. 'Honey, why do you keep looking up when I rub down? Oh wait, I inverted the y-axis on your clit.'"

Aaaaaaaaaaaand my sides went into space. They went so quickly that just the movement slightly moved most of the continents.

Delayed in the west

I just read this with Bill's voice in my mind...crazy.

 

[AntiFacebook]

Hopefully they will confirm western releases for Great ace attorney

 

[Mdk7]

Give me some Splatoon Nintendo, i'm ready!

 

[Roo]

Here I am hoping they top their January 2013 Nintendo Direct

Wise of you

Spoiler

LOL

 

[Aostia]

I'm not talking about this Direct, but all the hype made mi think: imagine if someday they will air a Direct, and (as for the "Sega" one where they revealed Yakuza collection and Sonic games) a Metroid label appear aside the Direct logo and voilà! A Metroid Direct for you all: complete VC releases, Dread for 3DS, U for Wii U with demos available RIGHT NOW on the eshop.

I'd probably die.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

Is this where the party at?

 

[Mpl90]

The fact that there is a press meeting right after the Direct makes this quite similar to the Nintendo Direct back in April 2013.

 

[Rootbeer]

"We're also pleased to offer Majora's Mask in a special Limited Edition! It's already sold out though, don't bother looking for one."

Nintendoooooo~~~~!

 

[Aostia]

The fact that there is a press meeting right after the Direct makes this quite similar to the Nintendo Direct back in April 2013.

they usually do Press event for new models, as the New 3DS right now. he European ones already happend (are happening, actually), in fact they released the special MH4U demo

 

[L~A]

Best news of that Direct (even though it hasn't aired yet)? Back to regular time... hated those late-night Directs. I'd rather get up at 5AM than go to sleep too late.

Anyway, get me one ticket for the Hype train pretty please~

 

[Bill Rizer]

I think in the Direct opening we will be teased with a new Metroid. I just feel it.
