Nintendo Direct: new presentation (over) (Wii U / 3DS)
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
isn't it at 5pm EST? the youtube link usually goes live like an hour before, I think
I think it's actually H1 they have lots of games for--the ones you mentioned, plus Star Fox and I want to say one or two others I'm forgetting. I don't know that any were ever designated for Q1 specifically, but please correct me if I'm wrong since I'd love to be wrong about that. Still, since Nintendo hates releasing games in January, I think we'd be lucky to get even an eShop game that month. They're not usually huge on April either, in NA at least, but it's more likely than January. Splatoon seems like a big summer-y splash kind of game and a major new IP for Nintendo, so I would be surprised if we don't see it in May at the earliest. Maybe Star Fox in April?

My predictions:
- Metroid Android [Android exclusive]
- Super Mario Galaxy 3 [Galaxy tab exclusive]
- Star Foxtrot [dancing game, arcade exclusive]
- Eternal Darkness [GBA remake. Not much info, as many GBA games were dubbed Eternal Darkness at some point during development]
- F-Zero: The Kamikaze Squirrel [racing platformer, Sunsoft collaboration]
Hope Nintendo delivers.

Dunno. StarFox looked soooo far from being done when Miyamoto showed and taked about it. Besides the game wasn't listed as "1st half" in the recent schedule posted after the financial meeting, just TBA 2015 or something like that.
I'd gladly welcome StarFox sooner though.
Ah. Got the times really mixed up. Thanks.

Ah, that's right, it was changed. Given how much work it seemed to need I was surrpised they ever had it slated for H1 2015. So that does make sense for it not to come out then. H2 would be pretty heavy on releases if we really get Kirby, Mario vs. DK, Star Fox, Project Guard and/or Giant Robot (was it the latter said to be coming H1? Did that change?), Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Zelda. (Am I forgetting any? Oh, right, Mario Party 10.)
One year later, I still laugh with it.

one of guard and robot was still labelled h1 on that recent list. I remember beacause of how ridiculously unlikely it seemed in my eyes. Can't remember which though.
Here it is:
Giant Robot is indeed first half. 3DS 2015 is worse than I remembered, basically a wasteland.

I would be dead surprised if Ultimate NES Rip-off Remix isn't mentioned (maybe even revealed in the Japanese one, they wouldn't add Famicom remix* as a bonus otherwise).

There's a decent amount of stuff they could have localized if they're desperate. FF Explorers might be a thing square enix localizees itself? Then ninty could always pick up the tab on dq7. Story of seasons has kind of disappeared and is probably 2015 at this point.
Sure thing, in my bingo card I added DQVII, the new Ace Attorney, Yokai Watch, etc. Though the release schedule is especially bleak on the 1st party front, only two games announced for 2015. I'm thinking they'll definitely unveil something 3DS related in the direct.
No, but seriously, what rumor?

Fingers crossed for Super Mario 64 remastered for Wii U.
There's been a bunch of rumors about remakes coming for Wii U next year. Hoping this is one of them.

this wont happen but maaaan, I'd love it: ideally, a "Luigi U"-like DLC (so: standalone at retail, or downloadable from the eshop) for 29 bucks with additional "Games" based on other missing Nintendo properties
I'm also of the opinion that if we see a new game announced, it's going to be for 3DS. Wii U has got plenty in the pipeline that we know about, I doubt we get any new games announced until E3, but the 3DS is just...completely barren in 2015 except for S.T.E.A.M. and Xenoblade...
Perfect time for Majora's Mask or a new Metroid...but I won't get my hopes up too high...

I've played and beat M64 a shitton of times....
and I'd gladly play a remake.
fucking love that game.
I really want to see what 1-player mode is like, and also if local multiplayer is a thing, how that works out. Online multiplayer will be fun, but I really prefer local, so I am excited to see how the game is coming along.

215 is a good time to be a Wii U owner. 2016? who knows?
Xenoblade X & Zelda within 6 months (edit: of each other)?
Definitely fake.

Yea I love the insane hype, too. But I'm always worried when I see no ounce of sarcasm or self-awareness in a post like that one. Anyway, back on board!
Yea, especially great for Germany which doesn't support livestreams on YouTube (thanks AGAIN stupid fucking government regulated broadcast nonsense!)
There is no more Factor 5. Not anywhere. Some of the guys are at TouchFactor now and make the Netflix/Hulu apps for your favorite consoles.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but:
If you Google "Nintendo Direct", the official link's title is "Super Smash Bros on Wii U". It's obviously going to be fairly Smash Bros-centric (and by extension, probably heavy on Amiibos as well).
That said, there's a dumb, sad part of me that hopes for Dragon Quest 7 3DS or Dragon Quest X every. single. time.

haven't because it doesnt control as great as the latest 3D Marios but it was an awesome game and one of those I really wish they remaster and also add the extra content of the DS version.

The one that was pushed by only one clickbait site and promised dual GamePad gameplay? Yeah, I remember that shit... wouldn't be surprised if the guy who imagined it built it solely on this 2012-esque crappy "U" pun.

Something tells me that a demo for Smash Wii U will come soon.
The next secret character should most likely have their trailer shown once the direct starts since that has happened for most regular Nintendo Directs.
I expect Splatoon, Mario Maker, and other early 2015 games given more info.
And the desperate side of me says that they will announce the New 3DS.

Yeah, I figured Giant Robot was going to be May/June 2015.
I figured we would hear more about the first half games this Direct and the next direct would focus on the other 2015 games.
