Clearly, it's not coming out in the next 8 months out side of Japan.
"NOA will be announcing updates via twitter following President Iwata's presentation!"
E3 was the Nintendo Direct for NA !!!

As in "Heathcliff"
Sad thing, I was thinking same thing. I felt that Nintendo Direct would be just summarized up what we know from e3 2012.
Yay, I love these things. 
They don't always drop megatons or anything, but I appreciate the higher level of interaction with the userbase and fans compared to the past and it's nice to get new info and/or footage on upcoming stuff.
Looking forward to what they have to show and say.

Should I get my hopes up for Monster Hunter?

Hype is being suitably restrained. If we get more info on upcoming games then I'll be happy. Anything else is a bonus.
There's two events, just like in April. The first will be more Japan focused and the other European focused, most likely. There will be some things the same in both, but each should have some unique stuff.

Always get your hopes up if possible. What could possibly go wrong.
I don't know...
I think it will be very focused on New Mario, Luigi, Epic Mickey and Castlevania, judgin from the lateste post-E3 events in Europe.
I really hope to see something related to Fire Emblem and Paper Mario too, due to their lack in those events.
No, at this point you're better off considering it's not coming. If it does get localized, at least you'll be pleasantly surprised.
If there's one game that would benefit from a Wii U cross release, that'd be this one. Animal Crossing on Wii U and 3DS need to "talk" to each other.

I'd buy a Wii-U just for this kind of thing. Wii-U "hometown" and 3DS "summer home/vacation"
I'd love Wii U/3DS intergration for AC. I doubt it would work like that. Though it would be interesting and fun. (expecially if they put the weather channel feature which was ditched in the original in) if that was optional people who have the 3DS version could turn it on and more warmer places could have a tropical island feel etc.

Maybe Shibata will tell us what the shit is up with Sakura Samurai in PAL territories. Seriously, that title just disappeared into the ether.

Glad to see I'm not the only one to care of it !
I mean... WTF NINTENDO ? Why don't you release YOUR game ?

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
For the record, this is what the European swapnote / letterbox message says:
Shibata's message said:
Could explain AC's no-show at E3.
Thinking about it, I could really get behind the idea of te 3Ds version being this quiet seaside village and WiiU version being more like a an actual town. It'd be cool to see them use the hardware to do something bigger than they've ever done.
It's probably gonna be half-assed, like the wii one though.
Hmmm... just saw this thread. Too bad it's unlikely they'll be showing anything from SMT4 until like... August.
Damn you rollerduck! I had forgotten about SMT4. Now I crave footage.
Edit: Above: "Alas, poor bomba! I knew you well."
I'm fairly sure that we were always aware that there was an event coming up to focus on stuff relevant to Japan that wasn't appropriate to talk about at E3. Having a European one too is a surprise, though. Talking about Rhythm Heaven, perhaps? I don't think they mentioned that in the last one.
Also, 5AM? WHAAAAAT? I guess I might be able to squeeze in the video between the time I wake up and the time I need to leave for work.
(As a small aside: While I don't think it'll happen in this one, I wouldn't be surprised if future Nintendo Directs also worked to stir up Wii U hype)
They're building a new R&D building that should be finished at the end of the year. Clearly the main purpose of that facility is to add more rooms that Iwata can host from.
Bring on the new Senran Kagura info <3
We'll have the new Professor Layton for 3DS! I don't know why it wasn't shown at E3, but as it will be released later this year, expect Mr. Ciabatta to show it.
Concerning Sakura Samurai, there are sadly always titles that aren't released in all regions, e.g. Snowpack Park on WiiWare.

ONM has some more info. New 3DS games, apparently.

maybe they feel they need to build a presence there more, and that they can let the american side coast a little.
or maybe with europe going to sony and japan going to nintendo (kinda), they feel it's easier to edge sony out of europe than microsoft out of america.
To be fair, they have ignored Europe for over twenty years.

NoE is pandering to the hardcore and their most dedicated fans a bit more, which is very welcome of course, but I don't feel like they are really going all out in terms of making any region a "battleground". They are just more willing to fill the gaps in their release schedule with some niche games and NoA is just kind of dumb about it.

No, they're just playing catchup on the two decades we were left behind.
Funny how a couple of nice things happen over a year or two and suddenly all the other shit doesn't matter anymore (and that's ignoring stuff like the Sakura Samurai disappearance).
Oh, it matters, and it hurt, but it's in the past now; for the most part things feel a bit different in Nintendo's stance on us recently. Although Sakura Samurai's absence *does* suck a little.

Oh fuck, better not announce some revision. I literally just ordered a 3DS :lol
Also, how about WiiU? Now THAT needs some ,,details'' not shown at E3...

I think the speculated Dragon Quest VIIr announcement is overdue and should happen sooner rather than later, but it probably doesn't make much sense to announce that this close to the DQX launch and on a measly ND.
So I'm mostly looking forward to the European event and maybe get some clarification on release dates an such. Maybe something about Layton 5. Maybe something about a future firmware update.
Nintendo Direct was the only good "part" of E3. Why should I ignore that?
