[Roo]

Im not hyped, something wrong with me?!

Nah, you're good
It'll end up like this anyway

 

[Qurupeke]

But on 2 hours they could announce 120 games!

 

[Lapidus' Beard]

That's it! I've taken the afternoon off and I'm watching this with my buddy at the game store. Hyped as F...

 

[ElementalMage]

excited

 

[Currygan]

one hour is sufficient, chaps. Even with five minutes for each game, that's about 12 games...more than enough bombs to be dropped and more than your body can handle

 

[vareon]

Why the ND is only one hour? :'-(

The January Wii U direct was 36 minutes, if that puts things into perspective.

 

[BGBW]

Well at least it won't have cars cars cars.

 

[grumpy]

Thanks, Nibel!
Now my body is truly ready to fully absorb the full impact of Smash Bros 4, Mario 3D 5, Wind Waker and Bayo2!

 

[Tom Hatherford]

So guys, if the price cut happens in this direct would an ambassador program be a sure thing?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Well I'm giddy.

Who's it going to be? Pac-Man, Mega Man, Bomberman, Simon Belmont, Bayonettta?

I'm trying to contain the hype but I can't.

How about ALL OF THE ABOVE. Seriously, it must have one of the four, surely.

 

[Qurupeke]

Well at least it won't have cars cars cars.

This!

 

[Xane]

I NEED.
TO GET.
ON THAT.
HYPE SHIP!

My feathers are ready!

 

[Dicer]

Why did I wake up early, ugh the wait....guess I can go out beforehand and get my ND feast.

 

[KeeSomething]

I honestly can't see Nintendo's direct being anywhere near as good as Sony's conference. I'm not even a big PlayStation fan, but they know what's up! Nintendo needs to bring out all the big guns, not just Mario games. Retro Studios, please be at the direct!

 

[Sheroking]

And Nintendo, the company with no real sharing/DVR/movies featureset will not do the same?

And Sony WASTED their first hour

I don't think they wasted anything. They had the time, they might as cover their other products.

Nobody cared to bitch about Flixster coverage when the conference was over.

 

[Shahadan]

I hoped to sleep until the direct, but I failed miserably. I'm not worthy ! But ready nonetheless.

 

[afoni]

Well at least it won't have cars cars cars.

Karts karts karts.
Hovercrafts hovercrafts hovercrafts.
Planes planes planes.

Mario Kong Racing!

 

[Dagobert Duck]

I'll sell it for a Ps4.

I guess it will be PS4U in the future so hold on to oyur Wii U

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Im not hyped, something wrong with me?!

Don't believe his lies.

 

[wsippel]

Why the ND is only one hour? :'-(

Remember the 2011 3DS Conference? 36 games, including roughly a dozen new announcements, in 55 minutes. And of those 55 minutes, Nintendo spent almost a quarter on Skyward Sword and Monster Hunter 4.

 

[lordfroakie]

This!

I really don't see the need for open world car games :x

 

[Currygan]

im out guys. coming back in 2.30 hours, no goddamn old lady will want to cross the goddamn road while im driving my bollicksed old arse car to victory

 

[Nickovic]

Please bring back the Dojo! Routinely checking that site every day was so much fun.

What they NEED to be doing is a strange question. I loathe looking at this conference through the prism of what Nintendo needs for business. I just want to be excited about games. But if we're going to look at it this way, nothing Retro is doing (for that matter, Retro, X and Bayonetta 2 combined) will even begin to have the impact on the Wii U that Mario Kart will. The Legend of Zelda is out-matched in sales power, multiple times over, by Mario Kart.

If we're looking at it as Nintendo fans who just want an assortment of awesome games, I see no reason for this direct to disappoint. Even the list we know of rivals their 2006 conference.

 

[KillerTravis]

Just wanted to say that I haven't slept in 48 hours. My sanity is fading away.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Just wanted to say that I haven't slept in 48 hours. My sanity is fading away.

I slept some but not good.

Wii U Sports by Retro kept waking me up.

 

[Kouriozan]

1 hour is enough, the January Direct only had 17 min. of games announcement.

 

[KingSnake]

Three hours ....

 

[lordfroakie]

Just wanted to say that I haven't slept in 48 hours. My sanity is fading away.

I got like 3 hours of sleep, pokemon round table and ND got me hyped up.

 

[afoni]

Hype is a healthy source of caffeine.

Sheroking, that's why you're my main man. You always know what to say to me when I'm losing my faith.

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

If it was 2 hours, there'd be more time for bullshit.

I think an hour to an hour and a half is ideal.

 

[GRW810]

Why the ND is only one hour? :'-(

How long would you like it to be?

 

[KillerTravis]

I slept some but not good.

Wii U Sports by Retro kept waking me up.

That's Dreamland fuel.

I.. I mean Nightmare fuel.. yeah, it's not like I want a new Wii Sports or anything...

 

[Box of Bunnies]

My totally reasonable predictions:

• Every first run copy of Bayonetta 2 comes with Bayonetta: Climax Edition, an enhanced port of the original game. This will also be available separately on the eShop.
• EAD Tokyo are working on TWO games for Wii U: the new 3D Mario by the 3D Land director and a new take on Donkey Kong as a 3D platformer by Yoshiaki Koizumi
• Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 2, a new chapter in the series linking 3D and KH3 starring Aqua, exclusive to WiiU
• An all-new IP developed by Nintendo Software Technology, directed by Hirokazu Yasuhara
• Metal Gear Ghost Babel remake featuring David Hayter as the voice of Solid Snake
• Final Fantasy VIIr
• Elite Beat Agents vs Ouendan
• Silent Hill Shattered Memories 2
• Bionic Commando re-reboot

Any less than this and I expect Iwata to end the Direct by committing sudoku.

 

[MYE]

How much time left?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

An hour long E3 conference with Reggie speaking three words every minute and pausing for fake applause would have been tedious. An hour long Direct where Iwata is kicking ass and taking names will be great.

 

[Diomedeskun]

I wanna ride the ship!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

That's Dreamland fuel.

I.. I mean Nightmare fuel.. yeah, it's not like I want a new Wii Sports or anything...

I wouldn't mind one.

I think we might get one.

If it's as fun as NintendoLand(doubt it), I'd be all for it.

Just not by Retro.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Any less than this and I expect Iwata to end the Direct by committing sudoku.

Erm...I hope that was on purpose...

 

[Beelzebub]

Watched 2001 conference, Iwata was wise as fuck..damn I'm hyped as hell now. Nintendo will deliver!

 

[AGoodODST]

How much time left?

Three hours.

 

[KingSnake]

Just wanted to say that I haven't slept in 48 hours. My sanity is fading away.

I have just 31 hours of no sleep. Still holding on.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

How much time left?

Jumped into my DeLorean and realized its 1955, so about 58 years, 2 hours and 57 minutes...

 

[gaming_noob]

I'm surprisingly excited about what Nintendo have to show for WiiU. Zelda <3 <3 <3

 

[Roo]

Well played, sir.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

An hour long E3 conference with Reggie speaking three words every minute and pausing for fake applause would have been tedious. An hour long Direct where Iwata is kicking ass and taking names will be great.

Everything is better with Iwata.

 

[El Pescado]

• Metal Gear Ghost Babel remake featuring David Hayter as the voice of Solid Snake

This is now all I want out of Kojima and I know I'll never get it. ;_;

 

[GRW810]

When does the OT open?
