I'm remembering the "Mario at Rio is a failure because you can't buy Nintendo products (NX) even though you definitely can buy Nintendo products (everything they sell)." thread.
If anybody knows the links to the youtube video for the Direct for NoA, NoE, NCL or the niconico video link for NCL I'd be happy if you can tell me, so I can add them to the op. Thanks!
None of the sites tell of the length of the Direct. They usually go between 30~50min tough.

What's it missing really? It has Mario, Zelda, Kirby. Maybe a Star Fox or F-Zero game?
Btw I'm going into this that a game won't be the big announcement. I'm going all in on NX reveal date. Gotta take risks lol
Normally I would also, but since they went out of their way to say they won't talk about NX, and since NX is a new product and they have investors watching closely, my expectation is that a date reveal is a bit less likely. I'd be delighted to be wrong, though.
I can't wait for Nintendo to showcase this masterpiece !

NX migration app.
Cool
Yeah, like I said: cool
It's almost like there's no real reason to complain other not getting exactly what you want when you want it since there are still six months to announce shit.
The strongest candidate would be another Mario Sports title. It's pretty much shovel ware time for the system. But it still doesn't have a WarioWare, Advance Wars, F-Zero, Excite, Mother, etc.

Advance Wars would be great or even a new Golden Sun.

Might as well add this weeks Powerball just to be sure.
I guess they'll have to localize Detective Pikachu sooner or later if they intend to make a movie based on it, right?

I get people understanding Nintendo's approach here or looking forward to this direct
but I don't understand how anyone can feel like frustration with Nintendo right now is unwarranted or people who expect something more from this direct than trailers for games we've already seen 1000 times or new Animal Crossing amiibo that unlocks some tee-shirts in New Leaf or something are unrealistic or entitled etc.
NX aside, can we put into context that 2016 has been pretty much the worst release schedule in Nintendo's history. And since the beginning of 2015 Nintendo has stretched content that would barely fill a span of 6 months into nearly 2 years.
Not only have we had barely anything to play but we barely have any real idea of whats coming or what even to look forward to. They had a great showing of Zelda at e3.. sure.. but they pretty much had no presence there outside of that. And in 2015, the World Championships were fun, but even back then they had nothing new in their direct to show off..
It feels like we have been waiting forever for any decent bit of information or any exciting news at all from them. I don't understand how anyone can say people haven't been patient.
Give us anything. Any indication of what month even they'll talk about their new system.
I'd be happy with them focusing on 3DS if I had any confidence of something more interesting like a 3DS Mario Galaxy remake for the Holiday. But we know they won't because they are saving anything interesting for NX. Which is why people want to hear about it so desperately. If we aren't getting anything interesting to play this Holiday then just tell us what's coming out later. 3DS and WiiU have been dying slow deaths and it has been a difficult wait.

Ah, knew I was missing something from my totally accurate, 100% likely wish- I mean, list.

Captain Toad is a good fit for 3DS. I would hope it comes out as an eShop game. That and my dream Nabbit stealth 3D game using the same engine. I yearn for the inevitable thread where people ask me to post if I'm okay.
:'^) I need this to be real now. For you. For me. For us.
Let's be friends.
It just shows how tone deaf Nintendo is. People want a new console, not this chibi spinoff handheld. Nintendo should cancel the 3DS.
"tone deaf" in combination with "Nintendo" is the new GAF meme. Congratulations everyone, you worked hard for this.
I can't tell if you are joking or not btw
Omg the 3DS top screen is bigger than the bottom screen... it actually is chibi!
I thought it was pretty obviously a joke; a reference to the Federation Force ridiculousness.

I don't think we can expect a price cut. Would totally negate the new galaxy 3DS.

It's nice to dream.
XCX just came out eight/nine months ago. A long time, sure, but like... How does a company become entirely irrelevant to an industry in nine months?
You guys got some serious hunger for NX.
Hope they announce new stuff here.

I think I made a mock-up of the 3D Land 2 logo with the Frog suit ages ago... I adored 3D Land. It was everything Galaxy wasn't (but I loved Galaxy too!).

Most significant thing I can imagine Nintendo even announcing at this time would be a Galaxy 1/2 port.
I agree completely.
If some people can't see the hilarity in what's going on here I dunno what to tell em. Yeah Nintendo is announcing stuff for 3DS. That's all good and well, but look at the context.
My uncle is Bill Trinen and she showed me footage of Super Smash Bros for NX, so I guarantee you that will be in the Direct.

Mario Galaxy HD to tide us over until Zelda would be a wonderful thing. Hard to believe that game is coming up to 9 years old now.
I understand your frustration and I don't mean to diminish it, but I wanted to point out a few things if I may, in semi-reverse order.
(1) Though Nintendo originally said they'd only show Zelda at E3, it's not accurate to say they had pretty much no presence there outside of that. We also saw at length Pokémon, Mario Party, new amiibo, Color Splash, Ever Oasis, BOXBOXBOY!, DQVII and Rhythm Heaven, which released during the show.
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/06/feature_the_big_nintendo_e3_2016_summary
(2) It's also not accurate to say that in 2015 they had nothing new to show off at E3. We saw Star Fox Zero, Tri Force Heroes, Federation Force, Mario Tennis, Hyrule Warriors: Legends, Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam for the first time. We also saw new info regarding SMM, FE, SMTxFE, XCX, Happy Home Designer, and YWW.
(3) Regarding this being the worst year for Nintendo releases, we have this year seen:
BoxBoxBoy!
Great Detective Pikachu (Japan only)
Bravely Second: End Layer The Ballad of the Three Cavaliers
Mini Mario & Friends: Amiibo Challenge
My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda The Twilight Princess
Pocket Card Jockey
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Fire Emblem Fates
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
Hyrule Warriors Legends (Published by Nintendo outside Japan)
Bravely Second: End Layer (Published by Nintendo outside Japan)
Pokémon Rumble World
Disney Art Academy
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Style Savvy: Fashion Forward
Culdcept Revolt (Japan only)
Teddy Together (Published by Nintendo in Europe only)
-
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
Pokkén Tournament (Published by Nintendo outside Japan)
Star Fox Zero
Star Fox Guard
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE
I've bolded games that are major releases and have garnered significant praise. Just from memory, though. We also still have Color Splash, DQVII, YW2, Disney MW2, Mario Party and Pokémon to come.
There absolutely have been some worse years.
2006 for consoles:
Chibi-Robo!
Odama
Baten Kaitos Origins (Japan and North America only)
Wii Sports
Excite Truck
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Drill Dozer
2010 for HH:
100 Classic Book Collection
Glory of Heracles (Japan and North America only)
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
WarioWare D.I.Y.
America's Test Kitchen: Let's Get Cooking (North America only)
Game & Watch Collection 2 (Club Nintendo only)
Picross 3D
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (Published by Nintendo outside Japan)
Art Academy
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (Published by Nintendo outside Japan)
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!
1000 Cooking Recipes from Elle a Table (Europe only)
Jam with the Band (Japan and Europe only)
Last Window: The Secret of Cape West (Japan and Europe only)
Face Training (Japan and Europe only)
Otona no Renai Shōsetsu: Hārekuin Serekushon (Japan only)
Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~ (Japan only)
2012 for consoles:
Rhythm Heaven Fever
PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond
Mario Party 9
Kirby's Dream Collection (Japan and North America only)
The Last Story (Published by Nintendo outside of North America)
Inazuma Eleven Strikers (Published by Nintendo in Europe only)
Project Zero 2: Wii Edition (Japan and Europe only)'
Kiki Trick (Japan only)
Just Dance Wii 2 (Japan only)
New Super Mario Bros. U
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (Published by Nintendo outside Japan)
Nintendo Land
Sing Party (North America and Europe only)
I hesitate to get too far in with these comparisons but I think at least it's fair to say there have been worse years individually for consoles and handhelds separately, and equal quality years for consoles and HH combined.
