Nintendo Direct: new presentation (over) (Wii U / 3DS)
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Boom.
I don't know about you guys, but these costumes look adorable. Especially the Yoshi outfit. Link also looks slick, as well as seeing Hyrule Castle.
I've got it down as the 20th of February 2015 in Europe, can't remember where I heard it but it was either from Nintendo or Capcom PR release otherwise I wouldn't note it down.
That's the real price. God bless "value" pricing.

I'm hoping that with a story like that they will get away from the JRPG trope of having to fight god for some reason as the final boss.
Spring in Japan, it just will be up to how fast localization goes
What there e3 direct was goat.

There were no new games I'm interested in, but there were a lot of release dates and new footage of stuff I want. I can't be mad at that.

I do not know how to split it. The DLC is good while the Amiibo part was lame.
Good catch though. Anything else I did not put was just ok.

The Direct was okay I guess. Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles X look good, but I already knew that. The Duck Hunt trailer and Majoras Mask were highlights.
8/10
No SMT x FE though
8/10
Ah, I was in the car at that time. I started watching about 5 minutes in.
I'm so happy right now.

They said spring 2015 for Xenoblade X in Japan...I guess we have to wait longer for the localization :/
Also super sad at the lack of a release date for Bravely Second.

Nintendo's 2014 E3 was great; Only saying that's been par the course for just about every other year with the "disappointment cycle". It's a cycle as predictable as the one where everyone hates a Zelda until it's been out for a decade.
Edit: This site's crazy where everyone only replies to what you said 10 minutes ago.

E3 was one of their good showings, with Treehouse and all that.

I mean did Nintendo announce that there will be no more Nintendo Directs until E3 or something? LOL

Just wanna say that Toad Treasure Tracker is going from beat spin-off, to its a gotta own title in its own right. The level design looks fantastic.
Also the gameplay in STEAM looks reminiscent of Valkyria Chronicles so that should be neat.

Cause it is not coming in the spring.

They won't show Zelda until next E3, don't expect it any earlier.
Right.

Random thoughts:
Where in the hell was Yarn Yoshi? That's supposed to be in the first half of 2015. Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. actually looks really interesting and quite complex. I'm ecstatic that there is a Splatoon campaign. I don't like the sound of "targeting" 2015 for Xenoblade Chronicles X. Mario Kart DLC looks great, Kirby looks adorable, and I'll be downloading the Pikmin shorts tonight!

Patience my friend...E3...believe.
Nintendo drops too many bombs*, people developing bomb immunity. Soon they'll need three bombs a direct just to get their fix
*not really
why didnt they give Link a hood shaped helmet? The other costumes have special helmets. Makes it hard to figure out who it's supposed to be. Instead they give him goggles? wtf?

okayDisappointing, especially for Wii U owners
E3 Direct was hella good and I don't recall folk saying they were "saving" anything.
One thing I've learned over the years with this kind of thing: people are NEVER joking about those predictions.

:lol Every time you think the Wii U couldn't possibly become worse, they manage to pull this shit off regardless... With these vague ass release dates and the abscence of most E3 content for a spring Direct, another year of droughts is basically confirmed. I expect silence on Mario Maker until it is reintroduced as the 2015 holiday title. And if it wasn't clear enough, there's no way something like Zelda is gonna come out before 2016.
So much for 1 game per month, lol. Not that I ever believed it, but it's still amusing.

Decent Direct, can be summarised as 'Everything is still looking really great.'
I don't think the MK8 tracks look as good as the ones already on disc, but that would have been nearly impossible. The inclusion of SNES Rainbow Road (again!) bugs me, but some of the other tracks look pretty cool. I don't think Link fits in well at all, but it's an experiment so we'll see how it goes.
Can't wait for Xenoblade and Splatoon. Didn't watch Captain Toad as I'm in blackout mode for that one already.
Majora's Mask was the most predictable thing ever. Would have been insane not to get Grezzo to use their engine for that. Still a Day 1 purchase, though.

I think it was more like how weird it was to say "We're showing our indie commitment by sticking a single trophy in Smash Bros!" Maybe there's more hidden. But right now he joins Rayman, in that weird little "Why are you even here" group of trophies.
When Miyamoto came out, that's what I first thought he was going to talk about. But then he said, "Nope! Pikmin 3!"
"You kept asking for this game, now you're never going to stop hearing about it!"
