Rhythm Heaven Fever, Xenoblade, Kid Icarus?

(probably my top 3 games of 2012, tbh)

Fair. I should have said the only games I bought that I loved were SM3DL & OoT 3d.

Eventually i'll get Xenoblade. i have a big backlog.

Rhythm Heaven Fever I have little interest in.

Kid Icarus hurt my hand when I played my friends copy. so I didn't buy it.

 

[slaughterking]

Maybe they announce a Tri G International version at the Japan event and don't mention it in any way during the EU/US one. I'd consider that to be in line with the ongoing Monster Hunter trolling.

 

[zroid]

Rhythm Heaven Fever I have little interest in.

You monster.

Also, I should have mentioned Pushmo in the last post. And if you say you have little interest in that, please go ahead and slap yourself on my behalf

 

[Rich!]

Push that backlog the fuck away

Xenoblade is so much more than all that

 

[Bullza2o]

C'moooooooooooon Fatal Frame 2 US release!

This would be interesting. It is about 3DS and Wii after all, and I don't know what else the Wii has before the Wii U comes out.

Kirby's Dream Collection. Maybe Pandora's Tower at Gamestop.

If i was still in college I'd probably have a lot more interest in that game. but it's very rare that I have local multiplayer these days. that game doesn't seem like a robust single player game to me. i could be wrong though.

and I simply forgot about Pushmo. That's a great game.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Almost certainly software only.

While that's likely true, Nikkei's report of the new 3DS model (not redesign) has yet to bear fruit. It could happen at any moment.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Sammy pls.

Spoiler

I want 3G so bad.

Doesn't Nintendo usually save hardware announcements for investor conference or something similar?

 

[Javier]

Gotta get Majora's Mask first. Then why not release WW and TP?

It'd make the 3DS the best Zelda console, ever:

- Zelda
- Zelda II
- Link's Awakening DX
- Ocarina of Time 3D
- Majora's Mask
- Four Swords
- Minish Cap
- Wind Waker
- Twilight Princess.

Even without WW and TP, that list is absolutely fucking nuts.

Don't forget the possible LTTP remake and the inevitable inclusion of the Oracle games.

 

[Rich!]

Don't forget the possible LTTP remake and the inevitable inclusion of the Oracle games.

Yep, exactly.

Realistically, the 3DS could be host to every single Zelda game until Skyward Sword (barring the CDI games).

 

[Vyse The Legend]

You are correct, and there is one next week, I believe.

The 72nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
Date and Time:Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. Japan time

 

[IrishNinja]

it's dumb how easily pleased i would be from this thing.

"here's more demon brain age stuff for 50 minutes, after which we'll be putting both zelda oracle games on eshop"

barring the CDI games.

VC pls

 

[BassForever]

*jumps on the hype train* Choo choo! First I got called by work telling me I didn't have to come in for my overnight shift, then I see this on gaf! Day couldn't get any better!

 

[zroid]

Rhythm Heaven's definitely more of a single player experience than multiplayer. The two player mode is certainly good, but just in terms of "pure fun" it's hard to top RHF.

With 50 main rhythm games and a dozen or so more in bonus stuff, there's plenty of content. It was released at a budget price and as it's dropped even further since then thanks to bomba (sadly), you'd be remiss not to at least try it.

Just the awesome music alone makes it worthwhile.

 

[BGBW]

body.setIsReady(true);

Time to get hyped again.

 

[M-PG71C]

Choo-Choo! I'm really liking the Nintendo Direct's because, you know, they are about the fucking games. E3 can go to hell.

Fire Emblem official Stateside announcement trailer. We know its coming, now give it the damn party it deserves! I'll pre-order day one and buy all the DLC like a little bitch.

 

[Revven]

Riding the GAF hype train is ridiculous but OH SO FUN.

*Awaits Nintendo Direct and the inevitable announcement of Majora's Mask 3D remake*

 

[EatChildren]

Hmm. Perfect time for them to reveal the Wand of Gamelon 3Dmake I've heard so much about.

 

[Celine]

Thursdayton once again.
Will be glorious as always.

 

[tim.mbp]

Expectations are low for NOA.

Expecting
Pokemon Conquest
Kingdom Hearts 3D
Heroes of Ruin
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy
Kirby Collection Wii
New Super Mario Bros 2

Maybe
The Last Story
Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure
Fire Emblem: Awakening

 

[Father_Brain]

At most, the US and Europe will get a couple localization announcements and maybe a new eShop game or two.

Any genuinely new retail announcements will only be in the Japanese ND, if at all.

 

[Nekki]

All Aboard!!!!

 

[vdlow]

If Iwata holds a banana again, then we can confirm Donkey Kong Country for 3DS.

 

[VegaNine]

Hello, my friends.

I am Satoru Iwata, President and Chief Goomba of Nintendo.




Thank you for spending so much time with me today.

COME ON RIDE THE TRAIN COME ON AND RIDE IT

If there's no mention of Animal Crossing 3DS I may cut myself.

 

[gamergirly]

Woot. I'm readyyyyy

 

[Revven]

If there's no mention of Animal Crossing 3DS I may cut myself.

I will too, we haven't heard anything about that game for a lonnnnnggggg time.

 

[Shellshock929]

Welp, I know what to do tonight!

 

[faridmon]

How long till it starts?

 

[Rich!]

I'll be up at 5am. Gonna be good

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

How long till it starts?

Just over 10 hours.

 

[Chuckpebble]

I've been waiting so long to hear about that game that I'll be sure to sit on the bowl while watching, lest I shit myself. I'm telling myself there's no way they'll mention it to avoid further disappointment.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I just want some solid release dates from now to October.

 

[Father_Brain]

I just want some solid release dates from now to October.

Yeah, right now it's really not clear what's coming for 3DS in between NSMB2 in August and either LMM or PM:SS in November (along with Epic Mickey, though you may or may not count that as a major title).

 

[Shiggy]

Yeah, right now it's really not clear what's coming for 3DS in between NSMB2 in August and either LMM or PM:SS in November (along with Epic Mickey, though you may or may not count that as a major title).

Professor Layton 5 is already announced. Spirits Camera is also coming next week to European territories.

 

[Xater]

Oh hey...what about a Professor Layton announcement?

Eh?

Layton and Monster Hunter 3G would make me so fucking happy!

 

[snesfreak]

Hmm. Perfect time for them to reveal the Wand of Gamelon 3Dmake I've heard so much about.

Oh you.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Professor Layton 5 is already announced. Spirits Camera is also coming next week to European territories.

That's definitely not a "major" title.

 

[Shiggy]

That's definitely not a "major" title.

I was referring to what other Nintendo-published titles are coming this year. By the way, One Piece Unlimited SP2 is published by Namco Bandai, unlike SP1, which was distributed by NoE.

In July NoE is distributing (& doing marketing activities) for Kingdom Hearts 3DS.

 

[TDLink]

I just want some solid release dates from now to October.

Well we clearly know the next month and a half for 3DS...FF Theatrhytm, Rhythm Thief, Heroes of Ruin, Kingdom Hearts 3D, and New Super Mario Bros 2. All 4 of those come out in July/first half of August. So really it is just what comes beyond that. I suspect this Nintendo Direct will let us know at least a few things...though end of August is also about when they would probably do another Nintendo Direct.

 

[Sadist]

NoE is on a roll. That's the fifth third party title for 3DS they're distributing.

 

[Agent Unknown]

I didn't get a swapnote from Iwata, was that not for NA users?

...so they're gonna reveal Metroid Prime 4 for Wii U later today to make up for it.

Believe.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I didn't get a swapnote from Iwata, was that not for NA users?
MG]

It was from Satoru Shibata, the president of NoE, not Iwata.

 

[Panthalassic]

My only wish is for Animal Crossing 3DS (and possibly MonHan). That said, it looks like I'll be breaking my early-to-bed streak.

 

[Agent Unknown]

It was from Satoru Shibata, the president of NoE, not Iwata.

Ah, there are TWO Satorus now???

 

[Santiako]

Ah, there are TWO Satorus now???

Yeah, Shibata is NOE's president (since 2000).

 

[Nibel]

Hmm. Perfect time for them to reveal the Wand of Gamelon 3Dmake I've heard so much about.

You really want this to be worse than E3

Ah, there are TWO Satorus now???

Iwata

Shibata

You can google Satoru Shibata

 

[Forever]

Ah, there are TWO Satorus now???

Every Nintendo regional head should be named Satoru.
