Waiting for Bearsona S. Yes, I typed it that way on purpose. lol
I have a feeling there wont be many new announcements concerning Wii U, even though there ought to be a plethora of games being thrown to keep it afloat for the upcoming year.
I do look forward to any new information regarding Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and X. Since the 3DS is the loved child for Nintendo's content, I expect some great announcements for the platform.

Fanfic. The OP is referring to the MonHun4-specific Direct, not a general one. Although, it does make sense there would be one before TGS.

Final Fantasy 7 HD Remake, only on Wii U.
There'd be so much surplus salt that people who have never played a video game in there lives would develop hypertension and not know why. It would be hilarious.
Perhaps nintendo is insane enough to empty their pockets paying for that to happen....
Final Fantasy 7 HD Remake, only on Wii U.
Considering the "hd towns be dammed", the FF7 remake makes more sense on the 3DS in the style of FF3/4/4heroes/bravely, which would still create lots of meltdowns, even if less than WiiU's version

Final Fantasy 7 HD Remake, only on Wii U.
Square Enix can keep their puny HD remakes. I'll take new games pls
Probably not. But I'm here largely to see whatever "Pokkén" ends up being.
If it shapes up to be a quality fighting game from the house of Tekken and Soulcalibur, and makes for a new type of 3D fighter altogether? That would honestly be enough of a megaton for me.

I figured this was a confirmation of a Nintendo Direct given IntelliHeath's apprehension to hype and came out wrong...
I'm really sorry about that. Yeah, I made the thread based on lousy translation and I was wrong however you are pretty spotted on with my apprehension to hype.
only reason why I'm looking forward to see Pre-TGS Nintendo Direct because I want to see if we are going to get Mii, Little Mac and Pac-Man Trailers. If they didn't shown up on next Direct then I'm more likely to consider them as debunked in my mind.
Diddy Kong

Nintendo Direct logo appears... turns into a Rareware logo.
Iwata announces acquisition of Rareware brand games.
Iwata announces Diddy Kong Racing available on VC right now, other Rareware games coming at a later date.
Iwata confirms that Retro's super secret project has been Banjo-Threeie, releasing this December.
Iwata snaps his finger and an iPhone appears. He calls up Chris Seavor and demands him to make Conker's Other Bad Day for Wii-U. He agrees. Lots of laughs.
Iwata announces Day one free DLC for playable Timber in Super Mario 3D World
Goldeneye HD f2p online game available right after direct.
Believe.

Sure they can, they can announce a direct exclusive sequel to Suikoden, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, and every other dormat jRPG that needs a home.
All this and no Blast Corps? SMH.

Ooooh. It's that time of the month again? Well let's do this GAF. Totally expecting:
-The world ends with you 2 3DS or Wii U
-Redesigned OG 3DS
-Dragons Dogma 2
-Nintendo announces the buy out of Atlus. Persona 5 heading to Wii U.

Gaf server crash? Lol.
To be honest, I would be happy if they talked about Mario Kart, 3D World and DKC:TF.
We know so little about these games
Time for my hopes and dreams as a 3DS owner:
Unified account system announced for 3DS and Wii U, digital games can be redownloaded rather than tied to accounts.
Universal achievement system, "points" are used to give Miis custom gear .
No region locking
Miiverse 3DS
Majora's Mask 3D
That's all I really need to make me happy, the question is how long will it take Nintendo to actually put the infrastructure in place. I'm expecting at least two on this list to happen (and they're both at the bottom). I wonder if they'd save the non-games stuff for its own Direct though.

Yeah, same here..
I would like to see more courses from Mario Kart and I'm curious who is 4th character for DKC:TF.
I used to be like this. Nowadays, while I do appreciate the hype, I'm wondering if we're one Duckroll on a bad day away from never getting Nintendo hype threads again. :lol

nintendo's had some sort of presentation stretching every month all the way to february 2012. there's no reason to expect that to stop now.
they have already outlined upcoming games and their features in the august 2013 one, and gave wonderful 101 a shot in the spotlight. i think in september we'll see finalized street dates and the official reveal of the wind waker hd bundle. it would probably be earlier in the month so there would be an extra push for monster hunter 4 in japan.

The way I see it, we have three possible outcomes.
We could get Kiddy, but I honestly doubt Nintendo remembers him. There's Funky, who I think is the most likely.
Then there's the off chance Retro throws the confusing DKC canon out the door and brings back DK Jr.

9 million might not be such a ridiculous shipment target if you ship every game from Sept/Oct as a bundle, too.
Wii Fit U Bundle
Mario 3D World Bundle
Mario Kart 8 Bundle
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze Bundle
I can see it happening.

i honestly can too. wii fit would make a lot of sense if they tried selling it at $400. the problem might be that the total package would cost a lot in shipping.
at the very least, a mk8 bundle should happen.
edit: i mean that the bundles are the things are what i can see happening- not the shipment target. they'll basically be needing to ship 1m a month between august and march to hit that. it's pretty unreachable now without some drastic measures.
Hence why I said if Retro throws out DKC canon. Which I see very possible since Japan thinks K.Rool's diguises are his brothers and Cranky is apparently DK's "grandpa".
Nintendo is very confused on the subject of DKC canon.
I'm just so starved for Metroid, but every direct my heart keeps getting broken...and with Retro doing another DKC (which I'm sure will be an amazing game, don't get me wrong) I'm not sure if I even want someone else tackling Metroid unless it's 2D and from the Fusion and Zero Mission team (if those people are even there anymore besides Sakamoto).
But...on the bright side, I'd love a new Bayonetta 2 trailer, and more 3D World.
But...on the bright side, I'd love a new Bayonetta 2 trailer, and more 3D World.
a quick run through mobygames reveals that maybe half the fusion team is still around? if they do another metroid, i can't imagine it'll be a big-budget console game. a strictly 2d game like how sakamoto originally wanted other m would be all right. people would have to expect it to have the 2.5d look because of the 3d.
man, other m really comes across as a game meant for the 3ds now that i think about it, down to the weird first-person scanning moments.

Oh, I don't think they'll make the nine, but bundles will help improve the final number...if they can get stores to take them in.
