this Direct is wrong... I wanted a January 2014 blowout

why show Spring now? desperate to squeeze some holiday sales? Nothing else is coming this month smh

Why does it matter if they do it now or in a month?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Nintendo wants to entice fence sitters to buy a Wii U this Christmas. They will drop lots of bombs. Just you wait. Will start with Nintendo announcing they bought SEGA. Which includes Atlus.

you are now my favorite gaffer

I'd say it's more like:

Will start with Nintendo announcing they bought three more Sonic exclusives from SEGA.

Jan 2013 Direct was an epic smackdown right now I am kinda cranky tired of hyping them apes

I want Epic new stuff

 

[evilromero]

Wind Waker Ocarina and Majora's Mask makes sense because a lot of people missed out on these amazing games but SM64 is a game that already got kinda remade and unlike Zelda The 3D Mario games are well represented with 3D World just out recently.

True. And Mario 64 DS on its own sold a lot.

 

[Riki]

I'd say it's more like:

I'd be ok with this, as long as one of them is a new Heroes game, co developed by EAD.

I want Sonic Spinball 2.

 

[balohna]

I'd say it's more like.

Will start with Nintendo announcing they bought three more Sonic exclusives from SEGA, all featuring Cranky Kong.

 

[cacildo]

Cant Nintendo Just get some games from sega other than Sonic?

A new streets of rage, adam-axel-blaze only?

 

[javac]

I'd say it's more like.

Sonic Unleashed Banana. He turns into cranky at the crack of dawn.

 

[Nibel]

It's weird seeing Steve Youngblood in here

Only Eaty was crazy enough to participate in the madness in the past

One day Opiate will join our ranks with a Cranky chess avatar

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'd say it's more like:

Do you know how many people would be highly pissed if Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed 2 became Nintendo exclusive?

 

[Sakura]

I want Sonic Spinball 2.

Oh man that game was so good. I remember picking it up at a garage sale for like 2 bucks. I wonder if I still have it.

 

[ILoveBish]

Finally they will announce super monkey ball for wii u. Don't worry guys, iwata's got this.

 

[Neiteio]

Glad that Eats changed his tag. I can only picture a bearded Matthew Perry fellating someone for so long.

 

[anaron]

Soraya Saga hasn't retweeted the Nintendo direct news or anything so I don't think there's going to be X news, y'all.

If only the Super Monkey Ball franchise was still up to par, I would love a Super Monkey Ball game on the Wii U Gamepad. Unfortunately, the franchise started sucking after Super Monkey Ball Deluxe.

 

[luxstellarum]

its fucking nothing

Sad.
Probably won't get a new trailer until E3 now. /sadface

they are secretly making fun of all of us I mean after that VGX Cranky thread people still hype up a pre-Nintendo Direct thread, we love Nintendo abusing us

 

[Bob Coffee]

Super monkey ball U feat. Cranky Kong. Let's go!

 

[javac]

its fucking nothing

That's a load of Bananas. Tomorrow... everything happens. Cranky Time.

 

[Foshy]

my (pretty reasonable imo) guesses:

- (too) long look at DK: TF, EU release date
- MK8 detailed, release date announced
- Jigglypuff confirmed for Smash, release window Q3 2014
- Kirby trailer + release date, Q1 2014
- Mario Golf trailer + release date, Q2 2014
- Fast Racing Neo trailer + release date, Q1 2014
- Wii Sports Club Golf trailer
- small indie game montage
- SMTIV EU release date (aw yiss)
- Bayo 2 trailer, no release date
- X trailer + name reveal, no release date
- Animal Crossing U announced, release Q4 2014

Spoiler

- Pokken Fighters announced, release Q3 2014

Well because every ND so far >>>> the one VGX show that aired

 

[Hiltz]

Eh, Sonic can go to hell. Sega team can't be trusted to maintain the consistent quality of Sonic IP. Nintendo should get them to do something more interesting. How about something more fans want, like a new Jet Set Radio ?

 

[TunaLover]

Sad.
Probably won't get a new trailer until E3 now. /sadface

It's actually a good thing, because there are more chances they announce new titles.

 

[evilromero]

I throw my Wii U out the window with anything less than Excite Wave Wings.

 

[Mariolee]

On top of my Luigi's Mansion Wii U prediction, Nintendo will also reveal their third Sonic game. And so it has been foretold, and so it shall be.

 

[Sakura]

I wonder if they will give any update on FExSMT or if it is dead.

 

[Kouriozan]

Sonic Dimension will finally happen, right?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Super Metroid 3DS kicking off a series of SNES 3D classics with updated graphics and bonus area based on Phendrana Drifts.

 

[evilromero]

I wonder if they will give any update on FExSMT or if it is dead.

For the Japanese direct? Sure. But nobody really cares over here.

 

[Neiteio]

Yeah, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if LM2 WiiU is a thing, or if they take this opportunity to announce Animal Crossing U is in development. Nintendo's response to the WiiU's plight so far has been to take a reliable big-name brand (I.E. anything with Mario in the title, etc) and indicate that it's in the pipeline.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ND's can be Epic so you can take the hype as far as you want and you can walk away pleased when the bombs do drop.

I just hope we learned our Geoff lessons

 

[Ashodin]

I expect a huge deal of the Direct to be spent on Cranky Kong. Yep. They're going to assume no one watched the VGX, or looked at the videos from VGX, or anything.

We're a bunch of ignorant gamers to Nintendo.

 

[BlackJace]

For the Japanese direct? Sure. But nobody really cares over here.

I do. Oh yes I do.

 

[Lumyst]

Please, new 3DS and WiiU owners, don't be like those people who bought their WiiU with NSMBU last year only to not buy anything else and put the console away. I hope those people who bought the Zelda bundles of both the WiiU and 3DS are the "seasoned" gamers who will want to buy more games. (Speaking of 3DS, I'm gonna cross my fingers for Harvest Moon Connect to a New Land to be localized soon.)

 

[Morfeo]

Glad you liked it.



Another trend, duly delivered. A gaffer's job is never done.

Did you do mine? It wasnt posted in the post.

 

[Glass Rebel]

It's not dead

just chang3d

 

[friskykillface]

Luigis Mansion 1 + 2 HD for wii u

comes out in spring. my prediction B^)

 

[Pociask]

How did Animal Crossing end up selling on the Wii? All I remember is how pissed fans were after E3 when Reggie said they were making games for the core, they showed Animal Crossing for Pete's sake!

 

[GooeyHeat]

Unless they gave away free games. I don't think they have anything that will induce fence sitters to buy a WiiU.

And Nintendo buying Sega would be horrible for the games industry.

Price drop to $149, Rename the gamepad to VCU (Visual Controller Unit), rename the console to the Nintendo x SEGA Exodus, announce a new Jet Set Radio, Shenmue 3, Virtua Fighter 6, and F-Zero EX, make SEGA Channel Redux a service like PSN+.

AND THERE YA GO.

 

[TheOGB]

Oh shiet, Kirby date for America baby

Cranky Kong for Smash

This post is perfect

Not going to lie, I do want Tropical Freeze.

 

[Megidolaon]

For the Japanese direct? Sure. But nobody really cares over here.

Reggie, if you're reading this, don't listen to this man.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I just want a secret holiday gift of Xenoblade HD on my Wii U I want to replay that gem

I'll take $100 Pizza Hut gift card if you can't deliver this Iwata

 

[Gabe3208]

They're all begin for...

All the "seasoned" gamers are playing games on "other" systems. The reason current owners aren't buying more software is because it's not compelling enough.

I guess that would be Nintendo in batshit insane mode.

Wooh. That would be huge.
