Uh oh, guess what day it is?

 

[Riki]

There has been chatter about this ND for a while, none of which indicated anything significant is happening.

It is a house cleaning ND.

I would not be surprised if they skip October and just do one in November.

I doubt they'll do a Nintendo Direct in October but I could see them have a press conference of some sort.

 

[Sojiro]

Nintendo... PLEASE just give us something about DQX. That's all I want.

My man! Would love to hear a wii U announcement for it.

Spoiler

I expect nothing from this direct on that though, if we ever even get the wii U version.

 

[Exile20]

Give me wii sports u or nintendoland dlc and ill be happy

If there is one thing that they missed out on was NL DLC. More maps for the games would have been awesome along with leaderboards.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

As long as this thing stays under an hour I should be able to watch it. Really hope they announce some things worth waking up early for.

 

[Birathen]

Guys don't get excited.

It will be about Wii U Fit and Wii U Party. They will announce the release dates for these games along with new system bundles.

Me and the lady started using Your shape Firness evolved 2013 last week so WiiU fit has me strangely excited :3

 

[alexmakitto]

NSBM2, right? But they had announced that in June/July, didn't they?

NSMB2 launched in August 2012 and the price cut was in August 2011.

 

[BGBW]

What secret?

I assume he is referring to this

 

[BowieZ]

Redesigned 3DS?

Timing is about right.

Would they really do that for this Holiday season?

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Uh oh, guess what day it is?

Your birthday perhaps?

 

[lazybones18]

Hmm....not feeling all that hyped for the next Direct. I'll be sleeping

 

[KillerTravis]

Redesigned 3DS?

Timing is about right.

But they are preparing 3DS XL bundles for Pokemon and MH4. I doubt they would announce a redesign so soon.

 

[Outtrigger888]

Would they really do that for this Holiday season?

Announcing a redesign before launching an pokemon xy bundle with a 3ds xl doesn't sound right to me.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

But they are preparing 3DS XL bundles for Pokemon and MH4. I doubt they would announce a redesign so soon.

A redesigned standard 3DS is overdue.

 

[Fey]

NSMB2 launched in August 2012 and the price cut was in August 2011.

wow i'm an idiot lol i was thinking XL + NSMB2

 

[BowieZ]

Announcing a redesign before launching an pokemon xy bundle with a 3ds xl doesn't sound right to me.

Unless they were smokescreen for special 3DSLite bundles

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Redesigned 3DS?

Timing is about right.

Why should they?!
3DS XL is still selling very good as it is, a redesign may come handy when sales slow down.

 

[Tenki]

So tomorrow they're announcing Dragon Quest X and Steel Diver Wii U F2P?

 

[Busaiku]

I am on board.

 

[Bullza2o]

I was expecting this around August 20. Perhaps the Wii U sales made them create this earlier?

 

[KennyLinder]

I assume he is referring to this

Cool. Haven't come across those yet (well, unless the numbers are at the bottom of the page or something), interesting. Maybe a code to download DLC

I am guessing Mario, Zelda and DK dates, maybe some another couple of Smash characters, something about MK8 and a tease on the new IP

Oh, and surely new W101 footage

 

[Glass Rebel]

Looking forward to this as usual. While I'm mostly watching because of the 3DS I wonder what they'll do with the Wii U and if they have any surprises in store.

I wonder if that Dragon Marked for Death 3DS game is still a thing. Inti Creates/Marvelous.

Shame on Treasure co-developing Gaist Crusher. Doubtful that will ever leave Japan.

my man

 

[DrLazy]

1. Highlight Upcoming Games
2. Price Drop to $250 with no game but including charging station (removing split bundles)
3. New Summer update goes live improving OS

Best Buy is already liquidating with a $50 gift card.

 

[Bill Rizer]

W101 + Smash Bro. cross announcment.

 

[Scoot2005]

New Super Mario Bros. by Retro.

As much as I wanted a Metroid Prime or Star Fox game this would be.... Well.... Mario RPG by Retro anyone?

 

[Mockingbird]

Excite!

 

[DrLazy]

If there is one thing that they missed out on was NL DLC. More maps for the games would have been awesome along with leaderboards.

YES. And making the leaderboards online or at least include your friends-list!

 

[Papytendo]

Are we hype now?

 

[cacildo]

You know other thing i want to see? Eshop sales

 

[MagiusNecros]

my man

Magius remembers all the obscure interesting things. Just hope there is eventually some evidence of it.

 

[Frodo]

CHOOOO CHOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Hot Coldman]

One thing I was thinking about is Next Level's next project. Assuming they're still working with Nintendo - and after both Punch-Out!! and Luigi's Mansion 2, they'd be mad not to - I'm curious as to what Nintendo might hand them the keys to next.

Something with Wario would be great.

 

[Scoot2005]

Can we actually watch Nintendo Directs live on the Wii U? I have had issues every time!

 

[Colonel Mustard]

You know other thing i want to see? Eshop sales

There's an eShop sale, literally every week.

 

[Neiteio]

Please show Little Mac, Mii, and Pac-Man for Smash, kthxbie

 

[Scoot2005]

40 minutes of Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut.

With no release date...

Waluigi World

 

[cacildo]

Yeah, but its usually a pretty lame one...

(and it also missed last week - they had only donkey kong (which was already 30 since last month) and called it a day)

 

[Drago]

Waluigi World

Waluigi's Apartment

 

[Colonel Mustard]

All Shin'en games were on sale last week.

Waluigi's Apartment

Waluigi's First Date

I wonder if they're going back to work on Mario Football to help the really, really bad European sales.

 

[friskykillface]

new smash character.


KING K ROOL UP IN THIS NINTENDO DIRECT

do it Sakurai

 

[MagiusNecros]

Waluigi's First Date

Waluigi's Hot Dog Stand

Isn't their project a Wii U game? That pretty much confirms it's Ninty related.

 

[Platy]

I was not THAT hyped .... but then OMFG PILOTWINGS SMASH BROS IMAGE exploded my HEAD in a fireworks of pure HYPE

 

[evilromero]

Please show Little Mac, Mii, and Pac-Man for Smash, kthxbie

Fucking Simon Belmont or GTFO.

 

[plank]

Isn't this suppose to be that rumored Pikmin direct everyone was talking about?

 

[Glass Rebel]

Magius remembers all the obscure interesting things. Just hope there is eventually some evidence of it.

I'm wondering if it's going to be a 3D game or another 2D/2.5D gig. As a huge Mega Man Zero fan, I'd prefer them doing something with sprites again.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Waluigi World

Bowie, please. A Waluigi game has to be called "Waluigi Time".

I wonder if they're going back to work on Mario Football to help the really, really bad European sales.

I think Europe's at the point now where they're not so much interested in "football games" as they are solely fixated on FIFA, so I doubt it.
