If they unveil that Yoshi game and it's anything but a stunning looking sequel to Yoshi's Island, there shall be blood in the streets.

Half this topic is people getting hyped and the other half is people trying to stop those people from getting hyped.
Listen, it probably wont be that amazing but we already have confirmation that they are going to reveal new Nintendo games.
There can be a middle ground you know.

That list of games. I hope you seriously aren't expecting something like that. It's almost entirely nonsensical. Also Yoshi's Island has consecutively sold millions in Japan, it's a very lucrative franchise.
I think the unveil of Wii Sports U and maybe a new EAD Tokyo game (Not Mairo 3D yet) seems practical and poignant enough for a direct.

Ugh. Right in the feels.

Voice of wisdom right here.
Last time a Zelda demo got out into the wild an entire plot got leaked onto the internet. Nintendo probably wouldn't bother.

I was being a little silly with that post.
Those two announcements seem lovely to calm investor relations.Spieler Eins

They really overestimated Nintendoland and now Intelligent Sytems is wasted to put some ugly Wario coat of paint on the minigame leftovers. And of course it's gonna be full price, lol.

It's hard to get hype for this knowing that it's only 30 minutes long. Oh well even if it is underwhelming at least we got some good gifs out of it

Investors will want third party exclusives like Bayonetta. I don't expect to see much Western exclusive support, which most likely is the kind of support their shareholders want the most. And personally, I would like that as well. Nintendo games seem to be targeting me less and less.

Anyone else gonna play some Nintendo games tonight? I'm gonna play me some NSMBU. Then XCOM.
A few things:
- It is really amazing how much goodwill Nintendo has squandered recently: they flat out say "we are announcing new Nintendo games for Wii U" and people still don't believe them!
-I don't understand the worry about the presentation only being 30 minutes. That's half of what they devote at E3, and this is focused on one platform and only first party games.

Well, the last one was supposed to be a little bit of a joke, but we're definitely getting new stuff.
-Longest wait between a Nintendo Direct and broadcast in a long time (apart from...Pokemon)
-English tweets mention new games
-WW simultaneous
-Q3 results/investor's briefing this week, iirc.
-Facebook event
Something is coming.

I have so much faith in that list that was found.
If anything it would be a later port of Rising
I'm sticking with Yoshi's Land as the big thing. It's a title that will likely sell well, it will be interesting to Nintendo fans, and it's not something that needs to be saved for E3 (Monolith Soft fits here also). Something like Retro's game, Zelda, 3D Mario, I see being games that Nintendo would save for E3 conferences.
That's the middle-ground people are missing. We know there will be new Wii U games, so saying only release dates for announced Wii U and 3DS games is obviously wrong and isn't all they'll show, but obviously they won't reveal every game known to man at the same time.

On the real ECG, swap tags with Opiate.
Investors don't give a crap about "third party exclusives" specifically and certainly not a bomber like Bayonetta. They just spout "Final Fantasy" and "Dragon Quest" and "Mario" and "Pokemon". I personally would rather see Nintendo put money into F-Zero and Star Fox, rather than Bayonetta. But whatever.

Past experience tells me they will spend 10 or more mins on a minor detail.
list? is this one of the dualpixels rumors?

I don't wanna check twitter again, but the phrasing seemed kinda vague. They've been telling bullshit since E3 and mishandling the console completely, so doubts aren't exactly inappropriate. The last WiiU Direct was pretty bad too, when their launch window crap finally lost its meaning and that was basically it. Except for that google maps thing...
Because usually lots of time is used for unexciting, known games. And they still haven't given Wii Fit U proper time yet, so that's already gonna eat lots of showtime,
I don't remember that, what Zelda was that?

My girlfriend and I are gonna finish world 6 in NSMBU. She's pretty good at boost mode.
One of the official twitters explicitly says "new games" right?
Skyward Sword. The demo got onto the internet, people went through the files and then hey presto: the entire plot of the game was in there.

God I hope you're right. Nintendo really need to get the good news train rolling for the Wii U.
Whatever Nintendo shows tomorrow, I think they have to show a game to get the hardcore excited. An amazing sequel to Yoshi's Island would do just that.
Wind Waker through Master Quest GCN?

"Reveal new games" heavily implies that the games haven't been revealed yet. What a shock!
What kind of games hasn't been revealed yet?
Wow, surprised I missed that.
A Facebook event means something big is coming? It likely means Nintendo remembered they had a FB account.
Investors don't give a rats ass about that. All they see is what they think makes them money and right now that's social and cellphone games.
I didn't know that about the plot, but that's because I stayed away from those threads
I think it's going to be the announcement of Monolithsofts epic RPG title for the Wii-U with a teaser. A new Wonderful 101 trailer and release date. New Pikmin 3 trailer and release date. Rollout of the Wii-U virtual console including the first 5 gamecube games available for purchase.

They do know the difference between new and announced. I belive the last ND (not the Poke one) they mentioned new info on"announced games", so when they say new they mean new.

Yeah, I'll play some Super Metroid and then Excite Truck. Because those are the kind of games I hope they announce.

I'm playing The Cave on Wii U.

I was going through an abusive love/hate relationship with the Skyward Sword threads at the time. I knew way too much about that game before it came out.
Yoshi's Island really? How many people have even played that game much less care about it? I know I don't. The new Monolith Soft game would probably be a much bigger bomb than that.

It isn't exactly promising if E3 2012 was the other event which they felt was worth bringing out their FB account for.
10 minutes of Wii Fit U, some trailers of Pikmin, Lego and Wii Sports U as the big surprise incoming.
