But the Versus XIII is a completely different scenario where the game wasn't being worked on and then moved platforms so they couldn't talk about it.

Is that really the case? I would attribute the lack of media for XV to it being endlessly re-tooled, resulting in it finding itself in development hell. SE had no excuse for not having new footage at this year's TGS, at least.

Nintendo, on the other hand, releases info for its games within reasonable time frames. As for SMT x FE, if it really hasn't been affected by all the Index drama, we should be seeing the game in action pretty soon.

I don't really expect anything big but we can only hope for the sake of the WiiU

[evilromero]

I went to bed early and am now up. Ready for Metroid and Excite.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Is anyone else as hyped by Yoshi's Epic Yarn as I am? Kirby's Epic Yarn was one of the games of the generation last gen for me, and to see that style in HD has me excited as hell.

It also had one of the all-time top-10 Nintendo soundtracks, which considering Nintendo is something else. Since it's still Good-Feel developing this sequel the quality really should be just as high.

I kinda hope it comes out next Christmas though, as the original Epic Yarn was the living embodiment of a Christmas Game.

I am because of Tezuka's involvement and I think we know next to nothing about the direction the game is going.

I know we have a grasp on the art but to me, it's the most mysterious game we have seen anything of.

I just hope it still exists.

 

[Majestad]

Thanks guys. Can't wait for this. Hopefully there's at least one megaton. It is the last ND of the year and just before Christmas. It should be very special, right?

Here I come F-Zero UX

 

[kizmah]

So Kamiya will be in the Direct. All right, now it's is getting there.

WHAT???????????

He just answered a question on twitter and said he will be in tonights direct. Could be a troll of course.

 

[CoolS]

The only thing I expect, like with every Direct, are the impressions of GAFs afterwards, because the hype always never lives up to the real thing.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

But if Mario Kart is realeasing this Spring you'd expect they'd have shown something beyond the initial reveal at this point. Which companies do this best?

 

[Nosgoroth]

So, I get out of work at 14h30, but it would take me more than a hour to get home... so the plan is to eat at a place with free wifi (Mcdonalds?) and iPad the thing.

 

[Dcer]

3 pm is good for me, love watching ND at work

 

[Fistwell]

These are my realistic expectations:

WiiU:

• Pokemon Snap U: Integrated with Pokemon Bank.
• Nintendo will announce they are working on F-Zero, Wave Race and 1080. Wait until E3.
• They will show Mario Kart 8 and a mechanic similar to Double Dash where a second player uses the Gamepad screen to throw items at other racers. Rewind feature to be implemented as well.
• Bayonetta Wii U port revealead. Out now on Nintendo eShop. Comes bundled with Bayonetta 2 Collector's Edition in physical media. Wii U special edition console bundle: Platinum colour Wii U and Gamepad + the 2 Bayonetta games + Platinum Pro-controller. Releasing Summer 2014.
• Golden Sun U. Releasing WW Spring 2014.
• Steel Driver F2PU.

3DS:

• MONOLITHSOFT game revealed: Online MMO.
• First look at Pokemon Z.
• MH4 announced for America and Europe. Out in Spring.
• Dragon Quest VII announced for America and Europe. Out in Spring.
• A new Metroid game announced. Most of the game is in sidescrolling 2D. Controls in 3D in some sections. inspired by Super Metroid. Other M no longer canon. Please Understand.
• Peach Returns. A new Peach platformer game. This time with no mood swing mechanics.
• Square Enix working on 3 exclusive 3DS RPGs in collaboration with Nintendo.

That is it. Plus the already expected DKC:TF and X and SSB4 andSMTxFE and whatnot updates

Sarcasm?

Wait, I had only actually read half of it, yes, it obviously is sarcasm (or complete delusion?).

 

[kizmah]

Could? Damn, that's cute.

I prefer optimistic but sure, I'll take cute.

 

[Gutss]

Golden Sun U. Releasing WW Spring 2014.

My mind will explode if this happens, one of the best rpg's nintendo have done since GBA.

 

[BowieZ]

So 2.5 hours to go?

 

[Zalman]

So 2.5 hours to go?

Correct.

 

[Majestad]

So 2.5 hours to go?

Yeah

Two Star Fox-games! This is the best so far, that Castlevania battle of 99 is the icing. Anything less, and Nintendo should go thirdparty!

 

[TrueBlue]

So Kamiya will be in the Direct. All right, now it's is getting there.

From the way he phrased it, it's most likely a troll.

 

[Otakumegane]

Woke up, has Saga tweeted this yet?

 

[Morfeo]

Kamiya in the Direct? Looking forward to Betrayalnetta 1&2, Wonderful102 and Star Fox Platinum - with Cranky!

 

[JimPanzer]

I'm currently at the university - not sure if the streamer will work on the PCs they got here. Can anyone link me to a good live-ticker for the EU direct?

anyone?

 

[Thomas_Daly]

games I really want from Nintendo

a proper paper Mario for wii u like the thousand year door

pokemon stadium 3 with story mode

 

[Hiccup]

Highly coincidental that the eShop promotion ends right before the direct begins.

 

[princemarth23]

6:30 AM on the east coast and I'm still up for some reason. Considering staying up for this after the Sakurai and Kamiya messages.

 

[Alienous]

A Smash Bros. 4 release date.

Häagen-Dazs all I expect.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

A Smash Bros. 4 release date.

I am conditioned not to believe any release date involving any Smash Bros game.

This is how Nintendo trolls are born.

 

[Tony91]

I feel like they'll drop tons of Demos on the eShop for some strange reason...

 

[Majestad]

Did Sakurai say anything regarding this ND?

 

[afoni]

I am conditioned not to believe any release date involving any Smash Bros game.

Push it forward by a month if you're in Japan, 4 months if you're from the US and 8 if you're in the EU.

Problem solved.

Kotaku is usually pretty quick to update during Nintendo Directs, iirc.

 

[Heyt]

The fact that ND is trending in Spain's twitter is more due to several outlets running raffles each hour more than high expectations. There is no doubt Nintendo is pushing this Direct very hard an really want to gather all the atention possible.

In Spain, at least.

It's today.

Yup on the Pic of the Day.

He basically hinted at a Smash appearence.
