Reggie comes out and talks about how many Miiverse posts have been created, then an update on NSMB2 coins and DLC, then says that Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 2, and Pikmin 3 will be coming "soon" in North America.

The sobering reality of the situation.

Fucking NoA.

Man I just want The Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3. Everything else in the launch window (except Rayman, which I know enough about) is dull, boring, and ported. Those are the two big games I'm dying to get my hands on.

LOL, speak for yourself dude.


Bayonetta 2, Monster Hunter, and Aliens look awesome.

Somebody should put this in the OP; it still only lists the times for the NoE announcement.

Luigi's Mansion release date
Fire Emblem scheduled for summer

That's a damn good list, man. If we get all of those in the first half of 2013 I will be very happy.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Nintendo Direct has never disappointed me yet.
Come on Shibata, show us your games.

I'm guessing that'll mostly be Q1/Q2, I have a feeling a few might be pushed back.

I think Bayonetta 2 will get a summer release. I hope they avoid releasing that during the Holiday rush in 2013.

Yeah. :(

European Direct will be superior, no doubt

I'm hoping that perhaps we'll see first gameplay for Bayonetta 2, but I won't hold my breath. What I really want to see is more stuff from Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101, and a release date for both, surely that isn't asking too much?

Oh and Yoshi's Land.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Please be about new Pikmin 3 MMO mode.

[...]
Every time I hit HOME on the 3DS it captures and stores a screenshot, and it keeps that screenshot no matter what else I do, unless I close down the game or return to the game. [...]

I wish they'd add a small icon to the "game suspended" screen which lets you save those screenshots to your sd card.

Pikmin 3 announced for March 31st release date, the last possible day of the "launch window."

Game is subsequently delayed in March to summer.

Kidding on the last part. Seriously about the first. I expect no new game announcements and just release dates for what's already been announced. Will look forward to release dates for Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and Luigi's Mansion. I somehow don't expect Fire Emblem by March.

I knew there was a reason my day off had to switch from today to tomorrow.

Asides from a job interview, that is.

Predictions:

Nintendo will apologize for shamefully slow RAM and outdated CPU in wii u.

Will announce a replacement console with modern tech.

All people who bought a Wii U will get a full refund and voucher towards the new hardware as goodwill gesture.

Aaahhhhhh dangit I just got switched shifts and I'll be at work during this.

Wii U launched now, it's time for some post-launch window games. Please Nintendo.

Pikmin footage is enough to satisfy me.

More on the game modes and online/Miiverse integration would be a personal Megaton.

It's gonna be Lego City Undercover

Very excited about the new Nintendo Direct. It would be cool to stream this onto the Wii U using the internet browser. Can I assume that I will be able to do this tomorrow morning? If so that would be amazing!
