[Kouriozan]

Damn at Splatoon's music, so good.

 

[jmizzal]

Majora was so awesome, but I think this Direct has made my mind up, I am going to sell my WiU. X is barely 2015 at this point and no mention of Zelda on WiiU means 2016 or so..

I would rather have a xbone to go with my PS4 right now.

stop trolling dude, they were never gonna show Zelda, and X is coming prob Summer

IF thats all you want sell your wiiu then

 

[soultron]

Splatoon gotdamn. Game looks even better now.

NOJ, please clone the development team and let them work on every Nintendo game from here on out.

 

[K-A-Deman]

And now comes the sadness...

 

[daydream]

that splatoon trailer, tho

all over my face

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I feel like they blew their load in the beginning.

To be fair, so did like everyone here.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

2nd quarter of 2015? Urgh. My prediction:

January - Nothing
February - Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
March - Nothing
April - Yoshi's Woolly World
May - Nothing
June - Splatoon

 

[Trike]

lol at people being disappointed. This is a direct, not E3. Keep your expectations in check.

 

[Death Metalist]

Splatoon looked great! Glad it has SP and not just MP. Very good move, DAY 1.

 

[Tregard]

Splatoon single player looks BANANAS

 

[Hoagmaster]

All in all, I'd give it a B. Lots of known items, but Majora's Mask 3D was a very welcome surprise.

 

[flatearthpandas]

And Xenoblade still looks amazing, except that goofy-ass jumping.

 

[Kater]

I wasn't high enough for that splatoon segment.

Me neither. But it made me wish I were.

 

[Daknight]

Splatoon looks so damn fun. Glad single player content appears robust. I still feel tease on xenoblade...when in 2015 damn it...when?!?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

The only disappointment is that Xenoblade is probably coming out in the second half of 2015. : (

Otherwise, that Direct was great! Majora's Mask and STEAM in the first half of 2015, plus Kirby and Splatoon! Heck, Duck Hunt on the VC even got me excited.

2015 is gonna' be great for Nintendo fans.

 

[Rösti]

So what did they announce on the Japan direct? Any new New 3DS games?

Not from what I could see. They covered a few third party titles though, including Final Fantasy Explorers and an Attack on Titan game.

 

[PBalfredo]

This was very much the E3 check-in Direct.

The style and weirdness of Splatoon makes it look like a lost Dreamcast game.

 

[Hikami]

Well that was disappointing..

 

[AdanVC]

Andddd finished. Wow I really liked this Direct. It was so nice to see Iwata back again, even though he looks so thin now. But he is healthy now so that's all that matters.

 

[Crayolan]

Well that was pretty much what I expected, only with Splatoon info instead of Mario Maker.

 

[Snaku]

Not till after the holiday season probably.

That or they're going to save it for FY2015.

It's so dirty, not even making a mention of the new hardware, while showing off a special edition of the outdated hardware (PersonaQ) to get people to buy the old shit.

 

[pinkurocket]

Majoras Mask 3d?

That is a huge announcement, but it's not like we didn't see it coming. There were enough hints.
It would be a megaton if it was for Wii U, tbh. :x

 

[Morfeo]

I was a bit on the fence about Splatoon, but holy shit this game looks great!

 

[Polioliolio]

Hrm.. Hm... Myeah..

There will be no hype after Smash Bros till E3.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Xenoblade is spring in Japan.

 

[ActStriker]

Xenoblade X is spring 2015 in Japan

 

[Empty]

great splatoon trailer. looks like they have loads of ideas for single player.

 

[Marvie_3]

Xenoblade and Splatoon both look ridiculously awesome.

 

[jonno394]

SPlatoon looks amazing; that trailer with the visuals and music was so good.

 

[SalvaPot]

Amiibos, Steam, Majora's Splatoon, Kirby, Xenoblade.

Today was a good day.

 

[Soul Beat]

All I know is that Xenoblade Chronicles X better release in 2015.

 

[MrBadger]

I'm really happy that Splatoon has a single player campaign. That game looks so good. And I'm happy for everyone who got that Majora's Mask remake they wanted. Also I'm glad about the Sonic Boom demo.

Nothing for me in that direct, though. No Metroid.

 

[Htown]

Is it just me or was Iwata a lot more animated this time around in the direct?

I believe he was sick before

 

[MistressMoitie]

I'm coming down.

 

[morukutsu]

Majora was so awesome, but I think this Direct has made my mind up, I am going to sell my WiU. X is barely 2015 at this point and no mention of Zelda on WiiU means 2016 or so..

I would rather have a xbone to go with my PS4 right now.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Wow, that was abrupt. Interesting how they had the big announcement at the beginning this time.

I missed the Majora's Mask 3D announcement, but SNES Rainbow Road (and the whole Mario Kart shebang, actually) and Splatoon were great.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Splatoon looks epic.

 

[protomouse]

Splatoon looks absolutely fantastic.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Eh. Project STEAM looks like an amazing Xcom homage

Fixed that for you.

 

[Revven]

MM3D makes me satisfied from this Direct. Cannot WAIT for that game.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Not really a Zelda fan so apart from Xenoblade, this was a meh direct for me. Still good for those who wanted MM3D.

 

[XaosWolf]

Fuck yes SP Splatoon!! =D

 

[BlackJace]

Splatoon is hype

 

[patientx]

Anything different on Japan ?

 

[georly]

Xenoblade X got a release date/window in japan for spring, right? Did NA/EU get one? If so, I missed it

 

[openrob]

Splatoon single player looks actually quite good!

 

[v0yce]

Was that Splatoon Singleplayer!?

Squid vs octopus. Nature's epic battle.

 

[Icelandic_Jazz]

Splatoon looks great. Nintendo's been really good with their trailers lately.

 

[Derphoof]

Majora's Mask 3D
STEAM info
Captain Toad
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Amiibo Stuff
Duck Hunt VC
Xenoblade
and Splatoon Single-Player Puzzle Action Platformer campaign?

 

[jaina]

Eh. Project STEAM looks like a bad Xcom knock-off

You can't really accuse Intelligent Systems of a knock-off. They've been improving the genre for years and X-Com only came back recently.
