So, to pass the time (and help me fall asleep, since I have an alarm set for 9:00 AM Eastern), I'm going through the January Wii U Direct thread, and the reactions still make me laugh. Of course, they're also hyping me up for this Direct.
I always go back to read reactions. They are quite entertaining.
I'm not expecting any new announcements, but I would definitely be satisfied just getting new footage on games that were already announced.

Nintendo is really good at stirring up the crow. Can't wait for tomorrow's Nintendoomed articles regardless of what they show.

Sega 3D classics plz!
I wouldn't count NSLU and Rumble as full games. But you're certainly right - 2013 is going to fucking deliver for Nintendo fans in the next few months.

Wii U Virtual Console news would be enough to make me happy. GBA, GCN, N64....anything, really. I just want more VC games.
Yes!! N64 VC in 720/1080p please! :> :> :>
Also your avatar reminds me... have they announced the release date for Shovel Knight yet?
Yeah, I'm kinda tired they're stuck with NES and SNES games.
Want to play Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and Smash Bros on my gamepad!!!

It was originally set for September but now they're aiming for a winter release...so late this year or early 2014.

Thank you sir
Dang. Ah well, there's a ton of games I'm going to get on Wii U before then. Thanks for answering!
So this is what we're all expecting right?:
-SM3DW is actually a small part of the Super Mario Realities MMO and it's due out tomorrow.
-Wind Waker HD comes with a 5-hour demo of LoZ: The era of flooding, which is essentially Skyrim but with Gorons and shit.
-Retro gives birth to a tiny baby DK (as in, YI
S Baby DK) which announces that their new IP, a WRPG inspired by D&D (Complete with collectable figures to use in your own adventures you make) is out yesterday.
-Metroid Aftermath gets announced and it's a FPS with so much lore attached, it makes Master Chief blush. (Also because he partners with her in this new game. If you complete the game in under a minute, you get a 30 minute movie of passionate romance.)
-Pokémon Spectrum is announced. It's an MMO designed by Blizzard that's free to play on any device. And yes, that includes IOS and steam.
-Kirby's Bad Dream gets teased. Plot is that Kirby goes mental and kicks everyone's ass. Made by platinum games. Features live Kamiya commentary!
-F-Zero GX HD is shown and it's F-Zero GX in 1080p at 60fps. Online play, custom track creation is included. Special edition includes a replica of Falcon's helmet and the entire anime series relocalized by the Disney Studio Ghibli team.
-Earthbound 2 (A.K.A Mother 4) is announced. Graphics are Rayman origins quality. Sound done by the London philharmonic orchestra. Comes with a bio-engineered Mr. Saturn.
-Miyamoto reveals that he's working on 20 new titles. 10 new IP's, 10 franchise revivals. Teased ones are Starfox, Star Tropics, Famicom Mystery club, Stunt Racer FX and Knight Move.
-Account system that's accessible on every Nintendo system. Have a physical copy of a game? Send photo proof to Nintendo, you can redownload that game forever. On everything in any region. Even in OZ.
-VC gets N64, GBA, GCN, Genesis, TG-16, Neo Geo, Commodore 64, Saturn, Dreamcast, Atari, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, 3DO, Jaguar, CD-I and Cassio Loopy support. Unreleased games are also put on the service. Starfox 2, Raven Blade and SMB5 are the first ones.
-Nintendo buys SEGA and makes Sonic Adventure 3, Alex Kidd in Omniverse World, Space Channel 5 part 3, Crazy Taxi world and Factory Panic 2.
-Nintendo buys Atlus and makes Persona 5, SMT 5 and Snowboard Kids 3.
-Nintendo buys Capcom and makes SF5, Megaman 11, Megaman X9, Legends 3, Battle Network 7, Final Fight 4, Darkstalkers Insurrection, 2042, Ghouls and Goblins, Resi 7, Dino Crisis 4 and a gritty next-gen SONSON remake.
-Nintendo buys Konami and makes MGR:2, Castlevania 1999, Contra: Balls to the Wall, Goemon World, A Parodius game designed by the Monty Python folks, Suidoken 6 and Dream Penguin Adventure EX.
-Nintendo partners with Valve to create Half Life 3 X Shemue 3.
Anything less and we can consider them DOOMED.
/s.

Why would you tell me this?!?
Why not Mario Galaxy 1+2 HD?
___
Am sort of expecting Seaman, Plok, and possibly a trailer/hint at new Zelda in Wind Waker HD to be announced, but I have very little basis for the last one other than I think it would drive sales/justify the $60 cost for some people.

8-4 Crew comments on Twitter are killing me. Better then DQ VII? Nintendo Direct Hype Train!

John made a comment about not squealing. Jeremy Parish of Us Gamer made a comment about hoping it was that John has been localizing DQ VII. Mark came back and said "I say this in all seriousness: better. WAY. BETTER"
Not explicitly about the direct but the timing seems auspicious.

Hmm I guess I dont understand the original context because I dont get it.
There was no context, he just said that.

8-4 is localizing Mother 3? To be revealed at the Direct?

They work for a localization company, 8-4. I presume they may know something about a game that they have worked on is being announced tomorrow. Their most recent Nintendo translation was FE Awakening. John is a huge huge DQ fan, and after translating 6, seemed keen to translate VII when it was announced. If it is something bigger then John translating VII, it might be huge. Again this is just from general feeling, but the timing seems to close to not be in reference to the impending direct.

I only want a good reason to buy the WiiU or 3DS. Metroid for 3DS and a new IP or Fzero for WiiU would be awesome.

It has to happen. The Earthbound Miiverse Dev Community makes no sense otherwise.
