Fuck it, calling it now, Wii U gamepad redesign, smaller, sleaker, higher resolution.

 

[EloquentM]

oh they will, they haven't said a thing about the N3ds so they will probably spend a whole big chunk of the direct focusing on it :/

You stop this rational behavior now. Only hype will suffice!!!

 

[harz-marz]

50 pages of unfounded hype. Gotta love GAF!

Way too much for one direct

New 3DS will be the focus

If that rumor is even real then expect it to be showcased at E3 alongside the new WiiU titles (Starfox/Zelda/etc..)

 

[TreIII]

I would fucking play a Metroid by Intelligent Systems, though. I would.

Same.

Maybe this is part of the reason they were so due for an expansion a while back?

 

[CrisKre]

So someone update me. Show we expect good things from this direct? Any Soraya tweets yet?

 

[Nintendojitsu]

A soft launch of the New 3DS at the Nintendo World Store after tomorrows Direct would definitely set the Internet on fire. That or Mewtwo being an exclusive Amiibo there.

Am I supposed to know who these people are?

 

[nrvalleytime]

Check your PMs, please.

Bish, if this member turns out to have legitimately big news, next time you're on the East Coast, message me and first drink is on me.

If not a drink, then a meal. Either way, I can't see this person being important.

Spoiler

I'd have to be stupid to request or suggest a tag if this person's wrong, so this is a safer option.

Nah, the GamePad is already the biggest price issue with Wii U, they're not gonna make it even more pricey to produce.

Anything World Store exclusive would set the Internet on fire

 

[Demon Lizardman]

This is a must. Can't believe it's been 7 months since it was announced and we have seen ZERO footage of it and it's supposed to release before Zelda U...

Miyamoto really likes keeping it a secret, I mean, we saw Zelda twice and only a little blurry video of Starfox playing the background.

 

[ASIS]

So someone update me. Show we expect good things from this direct? Any Soraya tweets yet?

Yup. Other than that it's probably going to be release dates for spring + Xenoblade. Unless.. You know, Nintendo actually drops a bomb this time (aka metroid).

Speaking of Star Fox, what's the fastest turnaround from game footage debut to release for a Nintendo franchise installment? 3D World was pretty fast, right?

 

[Sendou]

I wish they would really drop bombs. Something like Adventures of Cat Bullet Bill would do it for me.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Am I supposed to know who these people are?

They're just media people. Nintendo is also hosting an event for journalists after the Direct.

 

[Servbot24]

User: "I know a thing."
Mod: "I have confirmed that User knows a thing."
User: "I will not say the thing."

What is the point of this?

 

[Trago]

Hey Nintendo. How about those those NDS and N64 VC games we were promised?

 

[Coolwhip]

A media event doesn't mean all kinds of megatons.

It means Nintendo want to show off the games they are trying to sell soon.

 

[TheSlySoul]

If the new Metroid is made by Intelligent Studios, then that means Retro Studios is making Donkey Kong Country Returns 3.

... I want it to be true just for the salt ...

 

[Zubz]

So Soraya Saga retweeted the announcement. At the very least, we're getting something Xenoblade-related. Also, I didn't know she was a big JoJo fan, but she is, apparently. Neat!

And in the Direct, Iwata, Miyamoto and Aonuma declare that the Pinball series is the one and only canon. All other Nintendo games ever made are spin-offs.

The Gator from Pinball: Revenge of the Gator confirmed for Smash Bros. DLC. And Mario Kart DLC. And Hyrule Warriors. And the Amiibo will never be discontinued. Soon, all will fall to the Gator.

Excitebots was announced like six weeks before its release.

OoT 3D was quite fast I think.

Thats it........ or is it???

 

[MK_768]

Intelligent Studios is not making the next Metroid game. Not exactly their genre. Plus they should be focusing on a real Paper Mario game….

 

[spekkeh]

I dont think they would tease new releases in an email

But yeah Spring 2015 games will definitely be the focus alongside the New 3DS

As for any surprises? Who the hell knows

No but when has Nintendo ever overdelivered?

 

[Chaos17]

She just retweeted the news of the direct if I didn't get the wrong twitter account, lol.

[DownGrader]

Excitebots was announced like six weeks before its release.

NES Remix was announced and released at the same hour.

 

[Zubz]

User: "I know a thing."
Mod: "I have confirmed that User knows a thing."
User: "I will not say the thing."

What is the point of this?

Because User started teasing a thing. User wasn't sure if the thing was okay to reveal here. Mod didn't want people to think User knew something or was lying, so the Mod clears the air. However, the User is now aware that the thing is not okay to reveal, so (s)he doesn't.

NES Remix was announced and released at the same hour.

Same with Steel Diver: Sub Wars, and the Yoshi's Island stage in Sonic: Lost World. I love reveals like that.

 

[Sendou]

I'd buy that. No joke.

The most cute-throat Nintendo protagonist yet.

Not sure if this was posted yet but theres a rumor according to Gamnesia the new 3ds XL will be launching Feb 13th with preorders possibly starting tomorrow:

Not sure how reliable that site is but they claim this is from upper management in Gamestop.

I never got to play Excitibots. It never came out in Europe. I loved Excite Truck.

 

[The Last One]

Oohhh if Zelda U is gonna be there I hope they reveal it's full title.

 

[akidnamededdy]

I really don't think they'll spend THAT much time on New 3DS. It really shouldn't take more than two or three minutes to say 3DS with better 3D, second analog, better guts inside, faceplates, here's a game and some game features only on it,

Spoiler

NOA club Nintendo people will get Ambassador emails today

and move on.

Yeah 3D World was June 2013 first footage, November 2013 release. Only a 5 month period. Pretty crazy.

I hope we see star fox tomorrow.

oops sorry, I looked quickly and didn't see it.

 

[DarkCronos]

haven't they developed or at least co-developed metroid 1 - 4 and Zero Mission?

 

[TunaLover]

I bet it will 90% N3DS, 9% Wii U, 1% Iwata laughs.

 

[DownGrader]

Same with Steel Diver: Sub Wars, and the Yoshi's Island stage in Sonic: Lost World. I love reveals like that.

I am legitimately hoping for mini-megaton like these, if, of course, there will be no real megatons.

 

[ASIS]

Ok, I figured that was blunt enough. Something right now has only one, physically. What is coming, adds another.

Dual gamepad… Starfox to be the first game to utilize it.

Got it!!

 

[AdanVC]

Oohhh if Zelda U is gonna be there I hope they reveal it's full title.

That's the only thing I want TBH. That and a damn Starfox U trailer or footage or something!

He said right from the start he wasn't going to reveal it out of fear for his job. So why bother saying anything at all?
