Yep. ND are pretty useful.

I havent paid attention to gaming news since like September and the only new info I got out of this direct was a release date for Fire Emblem and the fact that we are actually getting Harmon Knight. It was just reshowing games they already talked about and reaffirmed that they were all coming out early next year like everyone thought.

There was hardly any actual news. It was more like "Ok guys everything is still coming....we cant tell you when yet but theyll still be here around when we said they would."

A long time until a new Wii U game, then :\

Still gotta get ZombiU, I guess!

Disappointing though.

Where did the Rayman Feb date come from a few days ago?

 

[axisofweevils]

Yep. There's so many March releases, it's rather bizarre.

1) Panaorama-view being an actual buyable game. People were suggesting this at E3, but no word on it.
2) Google Maps/virutal walking tour of wherever (e.g Rome, Kyoto, London) via the Game Pad.
3) Release dates.

Do you guys realize that Olimar must travel through the WHOLE universe, face dangerous adventures, lose friendly pikmins, than travel back to heart and speak with Mr. Myamoto? And the developers must wait for this thing to happen every month.
Not to mention that bounty hunter...

Not the one we just witnessed

Well it was for me who doesn't own a 3DS - I never knew about Harmoknight and to be honest I forgot all about Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. So I guess it worked

Lego City and monster Hunter will be bought, but that's not a fat lot to look forward to between now and APril...

Fire Emblem looks incredible.

Safe to assume they will sell WiiFit U game and pedometer only for those of us that already have the balance board?

 

[Teknoman]

If you guys missed out on ZombiU or Sonic All Stars racing, pick these up. Of course Sonic Racing still needs a patch to fix some of the glitched races, but its still a fun and great looking (non-exclusive) game.

3) Release dates.

1) I sincerely hope no one is excited for the panaorama. No one was watching a video conference from Nintendo hoping to see this. No one is buying a Wii U for this.

2) Not a game, Google maps has been around forever. This is just another app people will hardly ever use. Again, no one is buying a Wii U to use Google maps.

3) Unless I missed something we only got one solid release date while the others were
just what quarter the games are coming out in, most of which we already knew.

Even with all your examples this is a really lackluster showing for Nintendo. Im not even mad that theyre not showing anything new. I just dont like how these videos are 85% rehashed info, 10% talking about things that most people dont care much about and 5% actual interesting video game announcements.

Nobody's pointing a gun at you to watch it.

Did the NoA direct say anything about Picross e?

 

[Boerseun]

The LEGO pack-in code to unlock items is a brilliant idea. I really wanted a release date though. At least we finally have one for Scribblenauts Unlimited, which has always looked like a must-buy title (as has Lego City Undercover actually).
