When was the last "great Nintendo Direct"? This ain't going to be one of them.

The one where X etc was revealed.

 

[matrix-cat]

Not only is it going to be Cranky, it's going to be the same Cranky footage as before, just in case anyone missed the VGX.

 

[Kansoku]

If MH4 shows up, then 2014 is already won. Oh, and Year of Samus please.

 

[Herb Alpert]

So, age restrictions (I assume T/PEGI 16/CERO C/D) then. First I come to think of is Bayonetta 2, but for spring? Doesn't have to mean Wii U games of course, could be for 3DS. Regardless, nice to know.

I think expecting Bayonetta 2 for this direct is not unrealistic. Or the restriction is for bayonetta port as hinted by EC a few posts before.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I was just thinking yesterday we were due for a December Direct. BEAST.

I predicted one this week and used my cat as a source.

I would come to this site every day just to see a thread about a new Direct.

I laughed at those that were sure the next one would be in January.

Bayonetta 1 getting a Wii U port perhaps?

Cranky Kong for Smash

This is hilarious

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

has nobody considered eshop games may be shown?

FAST anyone?

 

[MagiusNecros]

2014... In Japan. 2015 in Europe. 201? In the US after Project Rainfall 2.

No it said 2014 everywhere as far as I know.

 

[jj984jj]

I wonder what they have to announce. They really have little left announced, much less dated, for Japan. Kirby will be there, no doubt about that. In terms of other first party titles there's... Mario Golf, I think? SSB... too soon? DQM, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and A-Train probably will be too. Maybe Harvest Moon, New Love Plus+, and Theatrhythm? There are plenty of gaps to fill, I guess new announcements will depend on how far along most of these games are.

Edit: Oh right the new Yoshi's Island from Arzest...

Made this for you

Spoiler

EXPECTATIONS HIGH!

Holy shit! lmaooooooo

 

[Scoot2005]

Samus in MK8. That's what the pin was for.

 

[Jethro]

Maybe although Shin'en said they show it in 2014.

 

[KingSnake]

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.

You didn't answer my question. Are they advertising (not showing) them?

 

[Aeneas]

HYPE

What I would like and is more or less reasonable:

SMT4 EU date
MH4/DQ7 localization news

What I would like but will never happen:

Zelda wii u and majoras mask 3ds announcements

 

[Javier]

FAST anyone?

There are plenty of eShop games coming early 2014 so I'm definitely expecting another Indie reel.

Cranky Kong for Smash

I coincidentally saw this gif for the first time in the NPD thread while listening to one of the first REmake tracks. All I can imagine are the February NPD results and the horror that awaits.

[Revven]

You know, we also haven't heard about what that third Sonic/Sega game is... I wonder if that's something we can expect hearing about *if* any new games were to be announced?

Eh, I'll just expect Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. footage and nothing more.

 

[slit]

Nintendo better start dropping bombs. I don't expect it at this Direct since it's only dealing with this spring, but they better get in gear soon.

"Wii are a so excited to present to U, the newest addition to our family, Granny Kong. She will a save the Wii U with her home a made cookies. Wii hope U are excited as a Wii are and please understand that more great Nintendo news will a come in the future."

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

From the maintenance thread :



I think it's safe to assume Wii Sports Club will get update + Golf tomorrow afternoon, right after the broadcast.

Here's my prediction :

- Cranky Kong playable in Mario Kart 8
- Cranky Kong playable in Smash Bros.
- character in X trailers was just a temporary one. Cranky Kong is actually the main character.
- Animal Crossing : Cranky Kong's Cabana trailer reveal
- Cranky Kong transforms into a beautiful lady in Bayonetta 2
- Steel Diver Subwars, with a Cranky Kong shaped submarine
- Pokémon Y revealed, with Cranky Kong as 3rd main legendary
- Cranky Kong race in Wave Race
- Yakuza spin-off in the jungle, with Cranky Kong as the big bad mafia boss
- GTA V - Cranky Kong Edition
- The Last of Kong

Half-Life 3 is a prequel starring Cranky Kong.

When was the last "great Nintendo Direct"? This ain't going to be one of them.

There have been several this year. There were at least 4-5 directs this year that more than delivered. People are just butthurt that the last direct and vgx reveal weren't megatons. However nintendo told everyone the direct was only for holiday titles so no one to blame but yourself If you ended up dissapointed. Also everyone was expecting Cranky Kong to be the vgx reveal so I'm not sure where the outrage is from.

 

[evilromero]

SMT4 release date.

Yes. That is what will push Nintendo to market dominance once again. :/

 

[Megidolaon]

SMTxFE finally? Why they no show it yet?

I just want one measly full-length trailer with gameplay Nintendo. That's all I want.

 

[tesla246]

Cranky Kong for Smash

I seriously laughed out loud.

Is cranky kong a new meme? To be used in every future nintendo-direct announcement?

Spoiler

I hope it is

 

[MetalGuardian]

CHOO CHOO MOFOS

I am so ready. 8 am start time in my zone? Psh! I'll set TWO alarms, just in case.

Ain't nothing better than a Nintendo Direct first thing in the morning!

"Wii are a so excited to present to U, the newest addition to our family, Granny Kong. She will a save the Wii U with her home a made cookies. Wii hope U are excited as a Wii are and please understand that more great Nintendo news will a come in the future."

How dare you! Everyone knows Wrinkly Kong is dead, or is she?

 

[KennyLinder]

"We just need a bit more time on Mario Kart".

 

[Cuburt]

Nintendo saves all their big reveals for themselves now, right?

 

[Aostia]

"join us on 18/12 at 3pM cEy for a #ninTendodiRecteu fOcusIng on #wiiu & nintenDo #3DS titles releasing by spring 2014"


It's happening!

They don't care about VGX and I don't have a problem with that?

 

[The perfect Dark]

Please listen to this while waiting for the nintendo direct

[daripad]

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

Thanks, I wish I could hype right now.

At least I am able to watch this live

 

[XPE]

Ok people you know the drill lets bring Neogaf down!

 

[OMG Aero]

If they announce that Chibi Robo eShop game and Denpa Men 3 for release outside of Japan I don't care what the rest of the Direct is about.

Iwata/Shibata drop the Denpa Men 3 bomb

Also announce that Chibi Robo eshop game please.

THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM

 

[flowsnake]

SMT4. I don't need a release date. I just want to make sure it's still alive...

 

[Majestad]

Who else is hyped as a motherfucker?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnUbXOeJaKI

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Ok people you know the drill lets bring Neogaf down!

This thread could.

 

[LeleSocho]

Probably a 30 minutes direct, watch it being 28 minutes of previously announced games and 2 minute of new eshop shovelware.

 

[cyberheater]

Who else is hyped as a motherfucker?

Have you learnt nothing from previous Nintendo direct broadcasts?

I'm expected to be underwhelmed and hopefully they might surprise me.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

"While planning the Nintendo Direct schedule with the other divisions of Nintendo, I noticed that Mr. Shibata in Europe was planning a segment on Shin Megami Tensei IV, for the Nintendo 3DS. However, that title already came out this summer, quite some time ago. In order to improve the relationship between regions, I have cut out such unnecessary segments on old games from being aired, so that all viewers can be on the same page and not get confused."

 

[Koppai]

Mario Kart 8 Release date? Layton vs Ace Attorney? PLZ

Ace Detective Pikachu? Pokken Fighters?

<3

Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Collection? (and Yakuza 5!!! )

 

[zma1013]

Nintendo Direct... ly to the darkly lit back corner clearance aisle of your local retailer electronic section.

 

[KingSnake]

Lanky Kong DLC available for purchase shortly after release.

Larry Kong will host a new interview with Cranky on NNN right after the Direct.

 

[Taker666]

New Mario Kart 8 trailer is all I need... anything else is gravy.
