Ah, they're finally going to announce the DQ FF7 remake.

The SDF would absolutely implode if an FF7 remake were announced for the 3DS.

 

[AceBandage]

The Internet would absolutely implode if an FF7 remake were announced for the 3DS.

Fixed.

An FF7 remake would cause a wave of celebration and rage that would literally break the Internet.

'Surprise Wii game'

Ha!

We got kiki trick last time

 

[Azure Dream]

While we're musing, how do you expect a 3DS redesign to look? I was thinking it would do what DS Lite did - look more like its companion console. So maybe even an even more rounded design...?

If the rumors of using it as a Wii U controller as true, coming closer to matching the Wii U design does make sense, but who's to say they haven't been reworking the Wii U's look since it first debuted? I think just about every time we've seen it since E3, it's been roughly the same demo units without significant changes. Yet they were adamant to point out that the console itself was "just a box" and not necessarily the final design. Maybe we'd see a clue about the Wii U's future in a redesigned 3DS, if they so decided to announce or release one.

If they've done anything to prepare for an eventuality like this, and have the code in place to make these games work with both IR and built in extra-controls I will eat my hat. And I don't have any hats. So I'll go out and buy a hat, the most expensive hat I can find -- perhaps a top hat, or hardened trilby, and I will eat it. I will use regular kitchen utensils and consume it a small biteful at a time, with absolutely no sauce or lubricant whatsoever.

As a TF2 player, I am disgusted at what you threaten to do to a poor, defenseless hat.

Wow, I just realised if by some miracle they announced an FF7 remake on the day of the Vita launch, that would really piss in Sony's coffee.

A bigger deal than DQ9, if that happened. And DQ9 was *massive*.

(To be fair, Vita *does* have an FFX remake on the way, which is no bad thing. Not on the same scale as FF7, but certainly one of the more fondly-recalled FFs)

No vita has a cross platform with ps3 hd remaster of ff10

 

[Stumpokapow]

Put EST in the title because I wanted to pick one time zone and highlight that and EST seemed closer to GAF's membership epicenter than anything else.

 

[DragonSworne]

It's FF7 running on the Kingdom HeartsDD engine

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Wednesdayton would live in infamy.

Iwata would laugh so hard.

 

[Portugeezer]

Awww yeahhhh

FF7 remake for Project Cafe confirmed, is that a hint right?

Shouldn't GMT be the natural choice since it's the easiest for anyone anywhere to convert from?

[Takao]

You guys hype up these "Here's the upcoming big releases for the next 2 months!" showcases way too hard. DQ7, or hell even FF7 remakes would be left to JUMP.

 

[DragonSworne]

This is their third Nintendo direct, correct? I hope Nintendo is in the Zone by the End of the meeting.

Kojima maybe watching

Maybe so, but the timing of it would be the ultimate scumbag move on Nintendo's part. Would be very satisfying to see Nintendo take an agressive move for once.

 

[Sadist]

Looks like Nintendo Direct will be bi-monthly show. October > December > February

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I am not staying up for this because I'm already tired. A new announcement, or even concrete releases dates for some of the next quarter games, would be nice enough.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

The timing of MHTriG's launch was pretty aggressive. Just two months ago.

Zone of the Enders 3 =O
Who are you?

I don't think a Nintendo event in Japan will cater to disrupting their competition's western launch.

Which would be a brilliant move for Nintendo.
They need to use these shows to help build hype for upcoming/lesser titles.

There's an NA one with Reggie tomorrow as well.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

All I want is FE in the US as soon as possible.

 

[Takao]

They'll likely announce MHTriG's localization or something, but unless they suddenly got Rockstar to make them an exclusive GTA there's not really anything they could do to spoil Vita's launch.

 

[Bullza2o]

That was their motion capture studio, actually.
This time, he'll be in the Japanese wilderness.

Random gym? Isn't that their mocap studio?

Oh I did not know that. All I remember was that GAF thread and everyone saying he's in some random schoolgym haha. They should do one outside their building.

You'll have to wait 'til E3 2012. :3

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Well to be honest I'll be happy if it gets localized at all. I don't ask for much!

 

[angelfly]

There are lots of things that could be announced that would steal a lot of thunder from the Vita launch.

 

[jufonuk]

where be the Grinder for the Wii?

Lol, found this when i searched for some Nintendo Reggie stuff on Google.

 

[frankie_baby]

where be the Grinder for the Wii?

Thought that got moved to Wiiu?

 

[disco]

Thought that got moved to Wiiu?

Grinder as in Grindr? I don't think that's the 'expanded audience' Nintendo are really going for...

 

[Lausebub]

I feel like we're getting bigger news this time. Reggie didn't do anything for the second Nintendo Direct, so I expect some news that are relevant for people outside of japan. I expect release dates for a lot of games, specifically more information about already announced Nintendo titles for the 3DS. We don't know a lot about Animal Crossing and Paper Mario, so we should see a new trailer.

+Pokémon

 

[Kazerei]

I wonder where Iwata's going to stage it this time

 

[BGBW]

Oh I did not know that. All I remember was that GAF thread and everyone saying he's in some random schoolgym haha. They should do one outside their building.

I want to see Nintendo's canteen. We can also get a glimpse at what Iwata eats at the Nintendo offices.

I never got why they choose a gym, it did mean something?

 

[Gianni Merryman]

That mattress on the right looks like a giant-sized Wii on its stand!

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

I wonder where Iwata's going to stage it this time

He will appear in a randomly chosen gafer house.

 

[Principate]

I guess Nintendo really are doing everything physically possible to steal the PSP's market share.

 

[disco]

I wonder where Iwata's going to stage it this time

Probably at his favourite Italian restaurant.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Somehow I've never watched any of Iwata's Nintendo Directs (probably because it is always happening while I'm asleep), so anyone with more experience with this things know if there will be subtitles on Iwata's feed?

If not I'll sleep and catch up with you guys when Reggie is scheduled to talk.

There usually isn't.

 

[RobotHaus]

Did anyone else get a Swpanote from Reggie? I thought it was pretty neat way of informing people, plus I got a new stationary!

I wonder if Nintendo is going to use Swapnote as an alternative to Spotpass. Even though it can display less information, it still feels more personal, in turn making me more invested in the information.

 

[IrishNinja]

stumps just confirmed the best time zone.
ya'll saw it.

while discussing Nintendo's new development studio to open in 2013

I think I read that there's an Italian restaurant on the second floor.
