I think EU is the best English option personally. At least the trailer isn't terrible.

Seems somewhat doubtful selling it for (presumably less) as a digital download on the Wii U when they're charging full price for the 3DS game.
Who knows though, would be cool if it came.

They should do an HD port like Wind Waker and charge $50 bucks for it.
Yes, I will buy it and the 3DS version even though I already have the Wii version.

The implication is that disc-based Wii software is still using Wii mode, whereas the new eShop downloadable titles are not requiring that in some way thereby allowing things like gamepad controlled games, etc.
Your immediate evening plans will not change, no

If some of the forty million or more people who own a 3ds but not a Wiiu buy a wiiu to get xenoblade for ten or twenty bucks instead of forty, I don't think Nintendo would be too upset.

it seemed like iwata was gesturing toward being able to play solely on the gamepad. anyone else get that vibe? or is that the deal?

Well no I wouldn't say that's true. Maybe its spaghetti night this evening and as he is eating it and play SMG2 he can start talking like Mario since he's Italian. I dunno I wanted to come up with something funny but not sure if it worked...

This was so 3DS heavy it was very disappointing as a Wii U only owner
Puzzle v Dragons
Fire Emblem
Pokemon Shuffle
Nintendo Anime Channel
I'd have taken a port of any of those on Wii U. Its particularly disappointing to watch Fire Emblem's gorgeous cut scene segue into. The fugly 3DS gameplay
My interest is piqued by Project Treasure and Mario Vs Donkey Kong but what else was there? Footage of things we already knew a lot about, with minor news about modes and amiibos.
No wooly world, no Kirby, no art academy date or news. The Wii games are standard definition with no patching for the console's default control schemes.
3DS is dead to me so I just didn't care about a lot of it.

Huh? How is it dead? Clearly its not since you said the Nintendo Direct was 3DS heavy...

I feel like E3 will be more Wii U heavy than 3DS with Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zelda U, Devil's Third, Mario Maker, Yoshi, and some surprises like maybe Retro's next game or some other things.

I agree that was the impression we were left with. A bit odd this is quite possibly going to appear before all of the other BC/Emulation we were promised for their legacy platforms, but I won't complain

Well that was shit. Nothing really new aside from Fire Emblem. Which probably means Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei is dead.
No regular New3DS is ridiculous.
Most of the Amiibo support is uninteresting or feels like it's just lowering the difficulty of the game.
Where was Star Fox?

Because if i could do smg2 via off tv play - that would be, you know awesome.
direct focusing on spring titles
Fair enough, but they covered Xenoblade Chronicle X.
Have Devil's Third, Zelda U and Miyamoto's 2 other projects been cancelled? And where's the Kirby game? And regarding your December experience: Captain Toad was released in the US this past December, and it was first announced at E3.
It's a Spring title in Japan.

That comes out in Spring in Japan.
Spring in Japan. The only non-Spring titles covered were Xenoblade Chronicles X (which is Spring in Japan), Rhythym Heaven (which is only announced for Japan so far), Kirby (in Europe lol), and Fire Emblem (which is Summer in Japan).

Hopefully Yoshi and Kirby are $39.99 each. any higher and i definitely wont buy until a price drop, which seldomly occur with Nintendo 1st party games
Hibiki Kurosawa

Kirby's confirmed $39.99 in US.
Amazon and Gamestop have it for $60.
Since it's only a month away, I think that's gonna be the final.
In some interview held earlier this month, I think someone said that Star Fox would be playable at E3. So if that's the case, then I'd assume it won't launch until after then.

Lots of gaf takes a Zelda delay into 2016for granted.
AFAIK, Miyamoto has only said that he will have a playable demo at E3.

Well, after February there is only Xenoblade, Fire Emblem and maybe Steam to look forward too. I guess nobody cares for all these eShop puzzle and little Indie games
Miyamoto talked about Star fox back in E3 2014:

I am guessing Star Fox October and Zelda may be by December, but my gut says Zelda is going to be Feb. 2016.
Fire Emblem & Knuckles made me laugh BTW.
I still think Star Fox will out during the summer with an August release at the latest. Xenoblade and Zelda will likely make up the holiday lineup, assuming Nintendo's not going to also announce and release Animal Crossing Wii U ( it teased us about it late last year on sharing news some time this year). My head hurts to think about delays for Zelda and Xenoblade X.
We got Fire Emblem S.T.E.A.M. too.

Thank you Nintendo!!
My thoughts exactly. All around this was a pretty good Direct
Puzzles and Dragons Combo pack
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
Fire Emblem If
Pokemon Shuffle game (don't care that much, but it is free)
Majora's Mask 3D hype
Codename Steam hype
Etrian Mystery Dungeon (wasn't a focus, but I'm still excited for it)
New 3DS
My wallet is ready
to die :'(

Looking back, remember this leak that was posted in one of the earlier threads.

Not entirely a miss.

I figured the Metroid stuff was BS.
I really would like Mario Maker to have Yoshi. That would be neat.

that guy got so many things hilariously wrong though
Basically throwing darts blind folded given the information we already had and hoping some of it came true.
"about a year from now" is not the same "exactly a year from now"

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Just realized Nintendo didn't speak of the bunny stamp thingy in either NoA or NoE markets.

Another show, another set of hype over nothing. As far as I can see, the only major game announcement was Fire Emblem? At least Sony people were able to admit the December show was overblown, and that had more interesting announcements than this.
It's also yet another Direct where they show nothing new for the Wii U, which is becoming pretty telling for their plans from 2016 and beyond. People seem to accept that the Dec/Jan announcements are Nintendo's biggest outside of June.
