[OrbitalBeard]

Awesome!

Come on NA and Europe!

 

[Rich!]

Majoras Mask 3D! It is time!

Pleeease, Nintendo

 

[Lunar15]

There's bound to be a smash newcomer video in there. My money's on Shulk.

 

[Zalman]

Oh shit, please announce for NA and EU too!

 

[BasilZero]

Hopefully we'll hear about

Spoiler

Majora's Mask 3D

- one can only hope

 

[duckroll]

I wonder if there'll be any announcements or if it'll just be FFEX and EO2DX stuff.

 

[Hours Left]

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG.

Ice Climbers reach the summit!

 

[Sakura]

Nooo I can't afford to buy games Nintendo please don't tease me.

 

[zeromcd73]

Bravely Second, Pokken, 3DS Direct, SCEJ conference. I can't handle all of these live shows this week

 

[Zoon]

Majoras Mask 3D! It is time!

Pleeease, Nintendo

Please noooo

Spoiler

I want it for WiiU

 

[Kaybe]

Barely keeping the bimonthly schedule. Hoping there's US and European Directs also.

 

[maxcriden]

Hopefully we'll hear about

Spoiler

Majora's Mask 3D

- one can only hope

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

I wonder who's gonna present it.

 

[kurahador]

Will they announce a new model?

Hope to see new titles (Majora Mask!!!!!).

 

[Starwolf_UK]

If no EU or US version I expect 3rd party blowout.

If there is a EU or US version happening at the same time all 3 should be watched as the content will greatly differ.

There's bound to be a smash newcomer video in there. My money's on Shulk.

They could just as easily reveal some kid called Ness. Heard his game is 20 years as of this week.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Hey, I wonder if there'll be any new info on that weird little fighting game that's releasing in Japan soon?

 

[L~A]

I wonder if there'll be any announcements or if it'll just be FFEX and EO2DX stuff.

Unlike the previous Direct, this one isn't just for 3rd-party games, so who knows?

Personally, I got a little idea of what might be announced, but then again, I always do and I'm rarely spot-on, ha ha.

 

[Phamit]

First Party this time?

 

[Nintendoga]

Yes! The 3DS looked to be lacking in future titles.

 

[Zalman]

Hey, I wonder if there'll be any new info on that weird little fighting game that's releasing in Japan soon?

Yoooooooooooooo

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Finally

Hopefully there's a NA/Europe version too.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Page says some software might have age restrictions.

 

[Mpl90]

Strange. Usually, Directs are announced first in US / Europe around 14:00 / 15:00 GMT and then, at..midnight / 1:00 GMT for Japan.

And, while it's at a different time than usual for Japan, it's not that different (this time, it's at 20:00 JPT, while other times it's been at 23:00 JPT). And yep, the announcement on JP Twitter account came up much earlier than usual, even considering the different streaming time. Mmh, let's see if there's going to be a Tweet for US and Europe at the usual time.

Btw, it'd be 12:00 GMT, right? What about US?

 

[Shaanyboi]

I feel like if it's at 4AM PST, there won't be a NA version at all. Probably another japanese third party showing or something, along with a "Oh hey Smash Bros." reminder.

I'm expecting nothing.

 

[ZeroX03]

Majoras Mask 3D! It is time!

How so? We had ALBW less than a year ago. They've liked to keep their major handheld releases two years apart since 07. They've got the two big holiday 3DS games in Smash and Pokemon. Seems to if MM3D is coming - and I believe it is, they've hinted it and know the fans want it - it'll be 2015 where it's needed.

 

[zeromcd73]

I like how it doesn't say 'announced software', like other 3DS directs have before. Hopefully means new games.

 

[BY2K]

Majora's Mask 3D, it's time.

Also, not one Americo joke yet? I'm disappointed.

EDIT: Nintendo Directs at 7AM EDT happened before.

Shush, I want majoras mask. Nothing will ever stop my personal hype train

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh baby!

 

[upandaway]

I can't see them announcing new games, I'm expecting more details for announced stuff. Even then there's a lot to cover.

 

[Hellraider]

Unusual time means new model, as expected (by me and three others).

 

[10k]

I wonder if there'll be any announcements or if it'll just be FFEX and EO2DX stuff.

It's Majora's Mask 3DS and Smash Bros 3DS footage with a bunch of dating sims and visual novels mixed in.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Majora's Mask 3D, it's time.

This time is Japano

 

[duckroll]

Well let's see, even if they have zero new announcements, there's enough in the near future to pack a direct.

First party: Smash, Yoshi, Kirby.
Third party: DQX, FFEX, EO2DX, MH4G, Dai Gyakuten Saiban, New Geist Crusher, Forbidden Magna, Hero Bank 2, etc.

 

[ZeroX03]

Well set your personal hype train to be a year late, otherwise it'll arrive at the station with no game to board.

 

[Jackano]

Hope to see Majora's Mask 3D and Satoru Iwata.

 

[BY2K]

Oh hey, there IS a Direct on Friday after all! Take that, EmCeeGramr!

 

[Volotaire]

Here we go!!!

Oh hey, there IS a Direct on Friday after all! Take that, EmCeeGramr!

Haha.

 

[Mpl90]

I like how it doesn't say 'announced software', like other 3DS directs have before. Hopefully means new games.

...

Guys, can you check what was said in occasion of the Nintendo Direct where 3DS XL was announced? Japanese version, of course.

 

[Exterminieren]

Come on, Western announcement.

Guessing:
Smash
ORAS
Third Party stuff
Erm... Amiibo stuff? Project STEAM?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Well let's see, even if they have zero new announcements, there's enough in the near future to pack a direct.

First party: Smash, Yoshi, Kirby.
Third party: DQX, FFEX, EO2DX, MH4G, Dai Gyakuten Saiban, New Geist Crusher, Forbidden Magna, Hero Bank 2, etc.

Yoshi and Kirby are Wii U games, fyi

 

[Lunar15]

I'd love to hear more about Codename STEAM. It looked so complete when they showed it off at E3, so the 2015 date surprised me.

I have a feeling this will only focus on the second half of 2014 though.

They could just as easily reveal some kid called Ness. Heard his game is 20 years as of this week.

Why not both! Robin's newcomer video also had the return of Falcon, so I could see some veterans showing up. Especially this close to release.

 

[Floex]

This better not be Japan only, my 3DS has been pretty dormant as of late.

 

[StreetsAhead]

...

It doesn't specify announced, but it does say 3DS software.

Edit: I mean this Direct's announcement.

 

[Aβydoς]

Is there some kind of countdown? I suck at figuring out when it's going to happen (Europe here).

 

[maxcriden]

Well let's see, even if they have zero new announcements, there's enough in the near future to pack a direct.

First party: Smash, Yoshi, Kirby.
Third party: DQX, FFEX, EO2DX, MH4G, Dai Gyakuten Saiban, New Geist Crusher, Forbidden Magna, Hero Bank 2, etc.

Yoshi and Kirby? (This is 3DS, though?)

 

[SliceSabre]

I wonder if there'll be any announcements or if it'll just be FFEX and EO2DX stuff.

I won't get my hopes up but it'd be nice.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Hype

 

[duckroll]

Yoshi and Kirby are Wii U games, fyi

Oh, the 3DS ones came out in July. Whoops!
