What on earth would the Wii news be? There's only one upcoming title listed on Gamefaqs, which is one more than there usually is. Is that accurate for Japanese releases?
Price cut?

 

[Damo Yoshi]

You've given me much to contemplate.

Gravi!

Bring me my thinking Scotch!

Ahh my dear Figs, following those Wii U hype threads, I must assure you that the pleasure and contemplation is all mine~ =)

One hour remaining. LET THE HYPE COMMENCE.*

Maybe a few filler games, I don't know. I liked the idea of Super Mario Galaxy 3 I read someone here, but made by a different team. Why not?

 

[jj984jj]

No Wii U is a good thing with the other event coming up, the console won't be worth buying for at least a year while they try to get the library started anyway.

Probably DQX related and nothing more.

It'll probably just be DQ10 post-launch info. I mean, they're still updating people on MH3G every time they do one of these things, so I suspect DQ10 will be similarly featured into the future.

 

[VOOK]

Prediction: 3DS firmware update.

 

[Kandinsky]

Am I the only one thats actually happy that this will be mainly 3DS and nothing WiiU related? fuck that thing

How convenient, my computer decided to turn itself off with just an hour to go. Useless piece of shit

Unannounced games? Possibly some party/family focused fluff.

 

[Dystify]

Are there any live-blogs?

Well yeah, but announced games have seemed so thin on the ground every time I looked, it used to be just DQX on that list but it's out now. I suppose they can muster something for christmas.

Thanks.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Prediction: 3DS Lite.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Prediction: 3DS Lite.

Releasing a new 3DS in 2012 would destroy the Wii U's launch! Nintendo would never be so stupid etc. etc.

 

[Stoof]

Naww, they would just release a Pikachu edition Wii U and rake in the cash.

 

[FearMyWrench]

Predictions:

1) Major 3DS Software Update: Adding account integration and/or Miiverse to the 3DS to go with the Wii U plus more Streetpass stuff. Last update we had was in May and last year we had a pretty major one in November adding new Streetpass stuff, 3D video recording and Friends List game joining.

2) Animal Crossing 3DS BLOWOUT including some kind of interview or demo with the producer. (ala Kid Icarus)

3) Surprise minor game announcement. Something like a new Mario Party. Maybe even for the Wii.....? I can't think of what else would be a Wii announcement.

 

[Dystify]

Prediction: 3DS Lite.

Yup, announcing another 3DS days after the last one just launched makes sense.

 

[Sadist]

Ah I can't watch it Oh well.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

I can't recall an event like this, were I am able to sit and eat my lunch in work and follow the announcements.

Hype.

 

[lazybones18]

Comp up and running again...after a couple of necessary kicks

 

[Foshy]

It would sell a fuckload anyway.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Personally I think this event will be a passing of the torch (topical)...from the DS to the 3DS.

 

[ohlawd]

Just woke up for this thing. Playing Radiant Historia while waiting

 

[hamchan]

Nope, I don't care at all about the WiiU and will probably never ever buy one but my new 3DSXL is freaking awesome. Bring on the 3DS games.

You'd hope so. Certain devs (Rhymes with Lame Shriek) really need to move on.

 

[Cwarrior]

call it now New New super mario bros 3 and New super mario bros wii2.

 

[KennyLinder]

Wario Land 5. Bring it!

 

[Nosgoroth]

Armed and ready, and wearing my GAF Hype Train t-shirt. I'm at work so I won't be able to watch it, just listen to it

 

[PapaJustify]

Majora's Mask 3DS announcement incoming?

[Snowden's Secret]

Leaving for work now, won't be there until 8:00EST so this is likely to already be over by then...

Come on Iwata, give us the sequel to the 2011 Game of the Year...

FIND MII III AWWW YEEEAH

We had a whole thread on this. Someone else posted a similar mockup with "Wand of Gamelon 3D". It's a hoax. GAME still have Saint's Row 3D and Assasin's Creed 3DS listed.

 

[Übermatik]

So they asked Iwata about an F-ZERO Wii U and he said it was possible - but they never counted on an F-ZERO 3DS... CONFIRMED.

Seriously though, that could be interesting with the 3D.

 

[MindCollizion]

Is this thing is 15 minutes?

 

[RagingAvatar]

I'm going to call it now - this event will be a massive fail and we'll all feel deflated and disappointed afterwards.

 

[VOOK]

yes

I'm going to call it now - this event will be a massive fail and we'll all feel deflated and disappointed afterwards.

It is a Nintendo event.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

15 minutes CHOO CHOO

Interesting? More like eye-rapingly awesome. And yes, it is in just 15 short minutes. Can't wait for Iwata to talk like a snail about company philosophies!

 

[Currygan]

but I'm not sad! Getting home with all the awesome news already posted makes a much smoother experience, eh guys? eh?

 

[IrishNinja]

Prediction: 3DS Lite.

3DS Micro, with 0 circle pads

 

[Kouriozan]

People were never dissapointed about Nintendo Direct, it's here to talk about upcoming release, maybe a surprise announcement but that very unlikely.
And we like that event for what it is.

 

[Jethro]

Delicious Oktoberfestbeer, come on Iwata

 

[Gregorn]

I know there won't be a MM remake for another 2 or 3 years, but I'm still going to be disappointed if it isn't announced today. I've been wanting to replay it recently too.
