Yeah, I suppose I had too high hopes.

You haven't been watching very many Nintendo Directs. Almost every Nintendo-developed game that was released this year or planned to be released in the future that we know of had its initial announcement during a Nintendo Direct, especially within the last few minutes. The only exception that comes to mind is the F2P SteelDiver game.
7-10 minutes.
okay, realistic expectations:
-bravely default 2ds announced for $130. does not come with game, but has special design.
-yoshi's new island releasing in february and comes with a download copy of yoshi's island ds, heralding ds games being added to the virtual console
-account systems are finally and fully put into place starting april
-mario golf is revealed to be mario golf vs hot shots golf as sony can make a ton of money by being a third-party to nintendo i mean the audience is there
-kirby triple deluxe announced for march in the us
-advance wars awakening announced, no details yet
-donkey kong country tf is free to play for existing wii u owners for one month
-wii uprice drop to $200, removing the gamepad. donkey kong country tf bundled with gamepad separately for $100, comes with vouchers for dkc 1-3 on virtual console with purchase
-mario kart 8 releasing in march, also bundled with gamepad for $100. introducing sonic as a special guest racer
-hd versions of games revealed, with the first games hitting in february: donkey kong country returns hd; march: super mario galaxy hd; april: super mario galaxy 2 hd; may: new super mario bros. wii hd
-super smash bros. 4 wii u announced for april. characters can be obtained in-game or through figures to be sold in store. additional characters will be made available this way through 2014.
-bayonetta 2 release in may. xbox one and ps4 versions finally announced with extra content.
-final sonic game revealed to be sonic and mario, a crossover platformer with input from ead tokyo's other team and the main people behind sonic generations
-finally, a teaser for zelda with a website counting down 7 months until e3 (just a logo and music)

Who says Nintendo wants to save stuff for the Jan ND? They had the Jan ND last year because they didnt have anything announced for WiiU outside of launch window games.
And plus they use to only have ND every 2 months, now they have one every month, this could be the big ND which will show all things up until E3 which is when Spring ends.
I dont get why some people think DK and Mario Kart are the only retail games coming out until E3. I believe this is the ND to show us what we can expect to play up until that point in the year.
Ha ha, I love this .JIF!
By the way, we really need a Hype Train of some sort. There hasn't been once since I finally got my account approved

In a parallel universe, that Metroid pin on Reggie (@ VGX) would be somehow connected to tomorrow's direct.
This universe sucks.
This universe sucks.
Reggie resignation directly to you.
Of course it will. It's a worldwide Nintendo Direct. These ones always have new things
The ones like the ones last month, sure. The worldwide ones? No
It's happening!!!
Time for my return trip back to the sun!

I just wonder if we'll see something like Miyamoto's new game, and hopefully it (and maybe others) will actually finally show us some compelling two-gamepad uses. They made such a point about that at E3 2012 and we never saw anything come of it. I want to see that...and EarthBound Zero and Two for VC... Also, I wonder if they moved up their big January Direct to this just because.. Christmas : )
What, Reggie wear have a Metroid pin @VGX, what a troll.

Yarn Yoshi is still a possibility for the summer or Fall. It's not out of the question, especially given how little we've seen of the game(and no, those 2 long ass GameXplain Youtube videos don't count)
As dire as the third party situation is on the Wii U, we have no reason to believe that Nintendo isn't doing something behind the scenes. SOMETHING is in development

If there's no Bayonetta 2 stuff Nintendo is dead to me.

Why so much harping on Donkey Kong? Tropical Freeze has unfairly been the brunt of our wrath because it's not Metroid Dread, Zelda U, or the Pipe of Hopes, Shits, and Wishes. It's not Cranky's fault

I really hope people don't embarrass themselves over the SMT x FE 3DS announcement
It's a WiiU game though.

You know what I really appreciate about Nintendo Directs? How soon after they are announced that we actually get them. Announcing an announcement that is still weeks or even months away is one of the cheapest marketing gimmicks out there.
Nintendo doesn't do that shit with directs.
"Please understand, we're gonna have an upcoming direct about our first quarter 2014 games
(laughs)"

Probably a good thing considering how out of control the hype train gets when we have a week or two.

Thought it would be a good place to ask, anyone know when the next Nintendo quarterly report is meant to be?
Exactly

honestly I'll be completely smitten and swooning at them just showing me new MK 8 footage. That game is gorgeous and I was even having a blast playing the 50cc demo stages over and over again this summer.
