Here's what you're getting:

-Mario Kart release month (maybe day)
-Kirby March date
-Mario Golf April date (these two could switch)
-a little bit of Smash info if we're lucky
-DKC trailer reiteration
-Maybe a touch of Yoshi's Island
-ALTTP and Mario 3 VC news (probably one of them)
-a little bit of eShop maybe
-Maybe one big surprise at the end (though I anticipate nothing as a result of the dickish spoiler bomb they dropped last time)

The huge one is in January

 

[Bony Manifesto]

We only know it's 2014, not when in 2014. Late spring would be exactly four years after Xenoblade.

In any case, it's highly unlikely that it'll be releasing outside of Japan any time soon.

 

[Salsa]

Ssshh no sanity

ETERNAL DARKNESS CONFIRMED!?

 

[Frodo]

Price cut + MK8 bundle

I find it believable we might see another price cut by the time MK8 hits, but I doubt they will announce it so early. If there is indeed one planned we will only know about it at around a month or a couple of weeks before it happens or even later.

 

[RoombaDance]

at least the MK demo should be cool, since we haven't seen anything since the announce.

 

[munchie64]

Well I went into this thread keeping my excitement as low as it should be, but the gifs got me pumped.

 

[daakusedo]

Mario kart 8. The second trailer
Smash bros in spring no matter what Sakurai says.

 

[Plinko]

My guess is that we see a new Smash character and everything else is underwhelming.

The most "exciting" thing I can see happening is an announcement of N64 games coming to Wii U VC.

 

[Hermii]

Im expecting no new games.

 

[Higgins113]

I swear to God if SMT4 isn't there I will flip

 

[Pociask]

Is Microsoft advertising Titanfall already? How about Sony and Infamous?

Have you seen Titanfall? They've been pushing those games since E3.

People buy expensive video game hardware for the games it can play and the games it will play in the future. They're not disposable one time use devices.

 

[jet1911]

No more Donkey Kong please.

 

[Lunar15]

I guess we'll also know if Bayonetta 2 is coming out in spring. I have a feeling it's not.

Here's the Wii U games that have been hinted at as being spring, but are in no way confirmed to come out in spring:

Smash Bros
Bayonetta 2
Mario Kart 8

If all those hit in spring, dang: that's a solid lineup.

 

[nrvalleytime]

No more Donkey Kong please.

Boy, someone's.... Cranky.

On-topic - Would love a release window for X and SSB. And of course - some news about DKC.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

 

[Sushigod7]

Expectations set. Can't be disappointed now.

Pretty much this, will we see Zelda? No Metroid? No Some other stuff already announced and passed off as exciting? Yes

 

[Aeriscloud]

I don't. Well, a new Metroid game would be sweet, but new F-Zero and Star Fox games would be just a waste of Nintendo resources.

Oh, sorry. I meant that for people that like video games, not someone that doesn't seem to like anything.

 

[zroid]

Sad day when people are clamoring for more info on something like Cranky Kong and nobody is clamoring for Star Fox, Metroid, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, or any of the other franchises that have gone the way of the dinosaur.

you need to get your sarcasm detector checked

 

[GulAtiCa]

Hype! Hopefully we hear more about Mario Kart.

 

[block tower]

dont get too hyped, expect more 3DS information and game announcements while Iwata and co. ignore talking about the Wii U's 2014 line up other than a few lame screenshots of mario kart and smash bros. maybe a small update on bayonetta 2. mostly expect much more please understand as usual.

 

[Floex]

I get less and less hyped everytime these are mentioned.

 

[Albo]

Well this brightened up my birthday. Still keeping my expectations in check though

 

[Wiz]

I doubt there will be any huge announcements with the sales season ramping down, but I'm hoping they have a surprise VC title to show.

Super Mario Bros 3

 

[rokero]

Every time a Nintendo Direct is announced I hope for a SMT X FE trailer do it Iwata ...Im ok with an X trailer as well

 

[ec0ec0]

WOW... some minutes ago, someone made a thread about the nintendo direct. He wrote: "Stomp like a goomba if old"
The first post was a picture with just that!! awesome.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Bayonetta 1 please?

Hope the potential "one more thing" is that or even Pokken Fighters, you're overdue Nintendo!

 

[SolarPowered]

Next gen Earthbound incoming.

 

[SuperSah]

All I want is Smash Bros. 3DS footage.

Very unlikely, so I'm not hyping or going to bother tuning in.

 

[FlynnCL]

I really hope Nintendo Europe will talk about Rune Factory 4.

More Kirby 3DS footage would be great too, and hopefully something related to Smash.

 

[Powerwing]

Stupid question : do we know how long it is ?

 

[Foffy]

Expecting an international release date to Kirby Triple Deluxe. Maybe dates on Yoshi's New Island and Yarn Yoshi.

 

[Jarate]

please, just give me Monster Hunter 4 for America...

 

[daripad]

I should be excited but I'm not. Fuck depresion

 

[Vyse24]

DK:TF, MK8, Mario Golf 3DS and Kirby 3DS happening. Probably get some Pokémon X/Y DLC news now that Pokémon Bank will be available soon. And then, the bombshell:

"Since the start of the Smash Brothers updates, we have only shown you characters returning for another round of battle. Today, we would like to change that. Please take a look."

New video plays. 2-3 new characters shown off along with the Final Smashes of Villager and Mega Man.

"Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U will be launching worldwide Summer 2014."

 

[SuperSah]

please, just give me Monster Hunter 4 for America...

YES. (And EU)!

With the same release date MH3U. :3

 

[MagiusNecros]

All I want is Smash Bros. 3DS footage.

Very unlikely, so I'm not hyping or going to bother tuning in.

But you get screenshots of feet in the new Smash Bros all the time. What more footage do you want?

 

[qko]

Wonder if it will be the last Direct for Iwata.

If so, I'm guessing it'll be the last Direct, period.

 

[Herb Alpert]

OK, time to speculate :
WiiU :
-release date and new gameplay for DK, Mario Kart, Bayonetta
-VC news
-Luigi's mansion U (Ho God I hope not)
-Perhaps new character for smash

3DS
-Yoshi's new Island
-SMT4 release date (EU)
-Layton VS AA release date
-waste of time presenting Miiverse and NNID fr 3DS

Announcement of the coming of the year of WALUIGI
Waluigi U, a military mature shooter where Wauigi invades Mushroom kingdom to avenge his brother Wario. Online, cross play with 3DS. Comes with a VR headset and a fake Waluigi moustache. out Tomorow, game of forever, WiiU sells like hot cake and Iwata laughs until the end of times.

I think I'm playing it safe.

 

[bumpkin]

Good to know I'll have some news to wake up to. Don't disappoint me, Nintendo.

Spoiler

I fear they will.

 

[Captain Smoker]

Well this brightened up my birthday. Still keeping my expectations in check though

Whats the source of this?

 

[Griss]

This will be about everything they want to get out before next E3. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see a surprise in here.

I am stupidly excited - these things often let me down - but I just can't help it.

I'm hoping for a 3DS metroid - reggie wearing that pin followed so closely by this direct... He must have been teasing it. You don't just put on a metroid pin.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

 

[Majine]

Announcement of Millennia of Waluigi. We're all fucked.

 

[Aeriscloud]

I should be excited but I'm not. Fuck depresion

Cheer up dari, it's hype time. :/

 

[IntelliHeath]

I remembered that dancing gif, and it was like ancient.

 

[SuperSah]

But you get screenshots of feet in the new Smash Bros all the time. What more footage do you want?

I don't know..maybe footage of actual motion gameplay?

lmao

 

[Plinko]

No more Donkey Kong please.

Twist: it's all Donkey Kong games.

 

[Principate]

I just want SMTIV for Europe localised by NoE, that's all I ask.

 

[batman2million]

holy shit!!

busted out laughing in my cubical!!

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

10 minute overview of Pokemon Bank.
