Man the inability to post an Iwata hype train GIF just hit me in the gut.

Post away, friend. He will live on forever.

Animated version (not from me):

[Unicorn]

It's not bullshit it's basically confirmed lol. Have you not been keeping up with all the TPHD threads in the past month?

Nope.

 

[Kriken]

Now people can finally shut up about when the direct is coming and get back to getting overhyped and having various reactions afterwards

 

[cw_sasuke]

We are back in business.

 

[Anth0ny]

OMG FINALLY

 

[Ito]

6 new smash characters out of the ballot? That sure seems unlikely

 

[Astarte]

The rumor (may or may not be true, but they did get the date correct, reading may spoil surprises for you if it is true, but could very well not be true):

-Smash ballot results, 6 characters 3 available after the direct
-More Wii eshop titles and virtual console games announced with discounts leading up to Christmas!
-Twilight Princess HD is announced and will release in February as part of the 30th anniversary of Zelda
-Zelda Wii U gets an official title but no gameplay is shown
-Pikmin 4 is announced and will release sometime in Spring 2016
-Star Fox Zero gets a new trailer and releases on February 26th!
-New remaster series for 2016 announced for Wii U and 3DS including Super Mario Sunshine HD and F-Zero X 3D
-Xenoblade Chronicles X trailer and demo after the direct w/pre-load
-Details on Nintendo Account, Miitomo, and My Nintendo
-Details on Super Mario Maker DLC
-Fire Emblem Fatees trailer and release date of March 25th
-Mario and Luigi Paper Jam trailer and release date
-Hyrule Warriors Legends trailer and release date of April 22nd
-Short tribute for Iwata is shown
-Direct concludes with Splatoon DLC and new game modes.

This was a common string of threads that had similar format but had dates extending to the 20th. Who knows? Maybe the promise that one anon made about dumping their porn will come true too.

 

[Sadist]

Direct is back, yay

That's insane. I don't buy this.

If we get Xenoblade X demo, Zelda TP HD and Pikmin 4 in 2016 on Wii U and it will be already more than a normal direct.

 

[Red Hood]

I need to update it though

Nah, no need to. We have to remember Iwata with joy, and there´s nothing more joyful gaming related than seeing him in our hype GIFs.

 

[astrogamer]

Finally

 

[Fandangox]

ITS TIME

 

[Kazerei]

Yesssssss

New Smash Bros characters please

 

[Kjellson]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjYUrJgOMFg

Again, might be true. Might not be. but they got the date already. This is the first thing I could find on it.

Mario Sunshine HD doesn't make any sense since the GamePad doesn't have analog shoulder buttons.

 

[Tuck]

I need to update it though

I'd say you should leave it exactly as is.

 

[javac]

Watch people complain when it fails to meet the crazy expectations. A Nintendo direct was always going to come by years end, they said as much.

 

[AetherZX]

Mario Sunshine HD doesn't make any sense since the GamePad doesn't have analog shoulder buttons.

Then use the Z buttons.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

That's 23:00 for central Europe, yes?

 

[FSLink]

The rumor almost sounded plausible until lol F-Zero X 3D.
Would be amazing if even half of those were true.

 

[Choomp]

Hyped! Can't wait. Probably won't be much though, expecting mainly Holiday release stuff, I still can't help myself but get excited.

 

[Chaos17]

Gimme Xenoblade demo and I will be happy *_*

 

[jph139]

Fuck, I'll be on a train... first Direct I've missed in years. Oh well, first thing when I get home then.

New Smash DLC and FE: Fates stuff. That's all I need.

This can't be true, where is Illusory Revelations

 

[dreamghost]

Our long national nightmare is over. Super Mario sunshine dx pls for 3ds. Tia

This part doesn't make me believe that this leak is possible, why would Nintendo release 2 major Wii U titles in the same month? Even as part of Zelda's anniversary, they would probably release Twilight Princess and Star Fox in separate months to pad out the release schedule.

 

[CarlieCaplin]

Ok I gotta admit that this is pretty cool BUT no way I'm letting myself get hyped for this!

Not after this year's E3...

 

[Yukinari]

Mario Sunshine HD doesn't make any sense since the GamePad doesn't have analog shoulder buttons.

Maybe it would be the right time to include multiple controller and button options?
Perhaps the gamecube adapter would finally be useful for more than one game?

Also im really hoping theres Pikmin 4 news or ballot news.

 

[Symphonia]

It's happening...

 

[HawthorneKitty]

This can't be true, where is Illusory Revelations

Obviously censored lolol

 

[friskykillface]

Free the rool


It's time

 

[tonyh24613]

IS must be busy making a new home console Paper Mario after FE Fate, right? right? RIGHT?

 

[javadoze]

Interesting to note that on the main site, the Direct description notes:

Please note that the presentation will not feature any updates on NX and mobile.

Nothing too big, but interesting that they're regarding it otherwise.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Hopefully Nintendo concentrates more on early-mid 2016. 2015 is a lost cause, let it die.

Hopeful for Twilight Princess HD news, New Starfox trailer and release date, release dates for Lucas, Roy, and Ryu amiibo, Pokemon Z, new Smash DLC, new Mario Maker DLC, and a regular new 3DS bundle for Fire Emblem Fates.

 

[Iriscomeback]

I really hope there will be more info on FE X SMT. Like an official name for the western release and maybe a release date?

 

[emb]

Let's gooooo

 

[Crayolan]

Watch people complain when it fails to meet the crazy expectations. A Nintendo direct was always going to come by years end, they said as much.

This happens in literally every Nintendo Direct thread ever, 5 month info drought or not.

 

[Bots are better than you]

"Heck, it's about time..." - Never has that scene from WoL's opening movie been more correct!

Pretty late, might be showing some age restricted content?

Paper mario sticker star 2

 

[Goldenmoney]

Shit I am going to miss it. It's going to be strange not seeing Iwata in a Nintendo Direct.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Oh lord my heart can't take it!

 

[Gvitor]

God yes

 

[qko]

"Why are they spending 5 minutes on amiibo festival?"

"We've seen all this stuff about XCX since its been out for a year!"

"Why is Twilight Princess a march release?!? Why are they not stealth releasing a game we had no confirmation on for next month!?!?"

The meltdowns will be fun to watch

 

[Mortemis]

Finally! Just give me a couple good 3DS games to ride out the last year and I'm good!

 

[Kinsei]

Yassss! I happen to have this week off too!

 

[Nesther]

Oh man, 2 more days, this is insane!
