Nintendo of Europe says "by Spring", and Nintendo of America says "through Spring". So, yeah.

By the way, I'm disappointed guys. 19+ pages, and this .JIF is still missing?

So do we expect something new and fantastic or is it the normal direct hype level?
I always thought that's just just an American turn of phrase. I read it the same as "up to and including".
Since Nintendo often will release something like an update on the 31st of a month if they said "by" that month, so too could "by Spring" mean 'by June 30th.'
And I have a strong feeling Smash will be out by then -- I mean, with Bandai's help, surely 2+ years is enough for Sakurai on such an iterative title? (k, maybe not... lol)
Either way, they said "focuses on" so there's always room for a tease about titles to come Spring or even Q3-4.
Just as long as it doesn't mention Pikmin 3 AGAIN I'll be happy...

"Normal" hype level? There is no middle ground with these things: it's Apathy or Hype-gasm I'm afraid.
This is now my favorite gif. Man how much I miss lost..Sometime I felt this gif can be great representative for some people here.
OT, here's hoping for Zelda U.

Oh well...We will have our answers in a few hours!!
You forgot that one countdown to the new Fallout called Fallout: Retributions (a rail-shooter in the Fallout Universe) is a Wii U exclusive.

All I want.
Is to know when the fuck Mario Golf comes out.
If the Direct is just a Mario Golf trailer than I would be 100% satisfied. I'm going insaaaaaaane

It's coming. But I doubt in Early 2014.

Actually now that I think about it, with the Wiimote+ and better HW on the U, it would be awesome to get a proper Golf game.
Okay, pretty deep inside Iwata's computer right now - found this in the trash bin
Holy shit!! that find would be a Megaton, lol
Hmm. Maybe Mega Man X9? Oh, and upgrades to MM9 & 10 to allow off-tv support would be nice too.
I doubt we'd see game announcements for stuff not intended to be released by Spring, but F-Zero by Sumo would be cool (they did a great job on Sonic All Stars) and Star Fox by Platinum would make sense too.

Ok that's it!!You are expelled!!
God, how I crave for Metroid...

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Chibi Robo was rated for international release a while back, so I expect to see it here.
Also, release dates for SMT4 and Devilish Brain Training fo Europe.

I still believe Kid Icarus Uprising should have been a WiiU launch title, the game felt crippled by being on the 3DS.

Does anyone know how long it's supposed to be?
We won't know that until a few hours before it.

nibel da gawd :lol
I think we may see an announcement of a new title that explains why Iwata thinks Nintendo will sell 9m Wii Us and Patcher thinks Nintendo will sell 6.5m Wii Us before the end of the financial year.
There has to be some reason why their expectations are so high.
The only thing I can think of is a Pokemon Megaton. Nothing else I can think of is going to move that many systems.

There's already a StarTropics 2 for the NES.
Gimme a Little Nemo the Dream Master sequel by Wayforward!

I like this.
What? I was replying to a poster that I agree with his choices of studios to take handle of certain franchises. And that maybe a new Mega Man X game would make sense instead of Mega Man 11. An SNES reboot instead of NES. Especially with that MMX eShop sale.

There is no presentation, and no dressing up.
They simply step up and place Majora's Mask, Cpt Falcon and Samus' helmet on a table.
Then just 35 minutes of them standing there in silence and staring unblinking into the camera.

Kirby 3DS. Last Direct.

what is misty doing in the far left
A 6 month+ gap between the release of the WiiU version and the 3DS version should help avoid some of the inevitable sales loss.
I think it's fair to expect one surprise announcement.
