Support NeoGAF

[flatearthpandas]

Nice. Rumors seem to be panning out. Now all they need to do is show SMTxFE and announce EOV on Wii U.

I have absolutely no hopes for a CN promotion but that would be pretty awesome too.

 

[Goldenmoney]

Hoping for lots of splatoon reveals, maybe some more on star fox and zelda u.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Any Soraya tweet about this atm?

not yet... but soon /believe

 

[TheAggroCraig]

Well I assume we'll get:

New 3DS Launch Date
Majora's Mask 3D (launching same day as new 3DS)
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, while mentioning amiibo support
Mention of Yoshi Wooly World with amiibo support info

What I hope to get:

Wave 4 announcement
New 3DS Ambassador program for the US
Mewtwo date

 

[zeldarocks]

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Hella early (In terms of western time), but why not?

Any Direct news is good news.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Give us a new trailer for Codename S.T.E.A.M. and then Iwata needs to say, "take a look at what else Intelligent Systems has been working on..." Trailer of Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem kicks in! Because SMTxFE is a real thing and is happening and I will have it in my hands for sure because it's happening and I can't wait !

 

[MicroByter]

Choo Choo m'fer, this better be good!

Seriously though, better not hear "please understand" when it comes to news on the New 3DS.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Don't mind me.

Just making sure I'm all set for the promise day.

 

[Drago]

I would no longer necessarily assume Splatoon is coming before summer.

noooo.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Pretty sure Yoshi is slated for 1st half

I heard Mario Maker is as well. They can't put Mario Maker, Kirby and Yoshi all within the 1st 6th months, can they? That would be insane. I put it in the Captain Toad slot because I thought it made sense as a holiday game, but I guess Mario Party is big enough to carry that.

 

[Voliko]

We all knew it was coming

I see there is some false hope to hype up an F-Zero announcement already

Really though, I just want a new Devil's Third Trailer.

Spoiler

And Metroid

 

[-Horizon-]

I hope we see some Mewtwo footage. Maybe a VC update. maybe a bomb or two. and new 3ds of course.

Maybe N64 games finally?

Spoiler

GameCube games one day?

 

[foltzie1]

I'm just walking into work around that time damn you Nintendo!

Be late that day. January Direct comes but once a year.

Or be early, or fire up youtoube on your phone and listen in, you have options.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Please no gray/purple 3DS in the US... Or at least have both white/colored buttons and a US only scheme.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

Announce the Monster Hunter release date and the demo date! That's all I want out of this. I have already set aside the money I'll be spending on a n3DS XL. I even warned my wife that I'd be getting it day one. My wallet is ready.

 

[Astral Dog]

If that obviously fake leak isn't real, i will cry, The Last Story, Okami and Jeannes Showdown?

Why

 

[Crayolan]

I hope the direct starts with the flaming Smash logo, I'm so used to seeing it now. For a Mewtwo trailer of course.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Nintendo of Europe also posted this at 11:00 AM yesterday. And here's a link to the Nintendo Australia tweet, because why not.

No Fucking way

 

[Niraj]

Can't wait to see what they show.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Maybe N64 games finally?

Spoiler

I'm betting they hold off on 64 games as long as they can, so they can keep milking that library for 3DS ports.

Where's the fake leak?

 

[Regiruler]

Victims of Hype Culture...

This poison is my lifeblood

LET'S GO MOTHERFUCKERS

 

[hatchx]

So 3:00AM Jan.14th for EST zoners, that's kind of tomorrow night! aww yeah!!! choo-choo!!

Have they announced the Japanese one yet? It's got to be the reason it's at such a weird time.

 

[……forgetit]

I can't fucking wait, I'm going to explode before Wednesday.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

As I've mentioned in another thread, I have it on good authority that MH4U reviews have a deadline of the first week of February. The game is definitely close. My guess is late February or maybe even mid February to coincide with that rumoured n3DS launch date for NA.

 

[SweetDonuts]

They announced it!!

 

[Shojx]

We already know there'll be New 3DS info.

But what if there's more?...

Time to get hyped for possibly nothing!

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Same. It'd bring a tear to my eye. :')

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Its actually possible. Their current announced 2015 line up is enough to have one game release every month this year.

 

[Sky Interloper]

YES! Hoping for info on Majora's Mask and the new 3DS.
Has Monolith retweeted this yet? I want a new trailer of Xenoblade Chronicles X.

8 AM!? Noooo!
I am at work at that hour. I will have to wait until night to check this out.

 

[GloriousBagel]

SMTxFE, let's go!!!

Uh, think you did it backwards, 6 am PST is 9:00 EST

 

[SRTtoZ]

My ass is ready.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Wonder if they'll show off more of Kirby? Although I suspect we've seen most of what that game has to offer in terms of modes.

I would no longer necessarily assume Splatoon is coming before summer.

Miyamoto did say the team was putting in more effort than he expected. Might be delayed a couple of months to add polish or an extra mode.

 

[Rubixcuba]

Oh man oh man super excited right now!

Brilliant avatar fellow GAFer.

I really hope we don't see a recap on features for the New 3DS. Precious minutes cannot be wasted.

So flipping excited.

Woah slow down. It's 9:00 AM EST.

 

[hatchx]

Woops, and damn, that's six more hours!

 

[Geg]

I'm somewhat new to these; the only Directs I've been around for were the Smash ones and the most recent one that announced Majora's Mask 3D. Are the January directs always particularly notable?

 

[Jeels]

N3DS TIME. Hope we get some 3DS software announcements too.

 

[DNAbro]

Almost always

 

[BY2K]

THE HYPE WAS JUSTIFIED!

Don't do this to me.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I only count 10?

But even if they do, putting all the long tail mascot games that close together is vampire city, sucking each others' sales.

 

[-Horizon-]

I'm betting they hold off on 64 games as long as they can, so they can keep milking that library for 3DS ports.

This...wouldn't surprise me lol why charge $10-$15 when you can charge a full $40?

You bet your ass they are.

Oh, on the february New 3DS thread, i thought it was already here. im on mobile so its going to take awhile.
