Bearing in mind Fire Emblem is two days away, I'm expecting free DLC notifications. And Oracle dates.

Otherwise, it's all a surprise. I can't wait.

Yes, I'm drunk.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Err...haven't you guys gotten a quite a few 3DS titles a few months compared to us Americans?

You mean for PAL?

We got a lot of LATE releases coming out if that's what you mean.

OH GOD my sentence. Yes, that's what I meant.

Is Bill still in Japan?

He came back a long time ago.

 

[bangai-o]

is this where they will debut the Youtube app?

 

[serplux]

Oh yeah, I forgot that that was supposedly coming this year. Whatever happened to the Hulu app?

 

[Drago]

They advertise Hulu for 3DS in every "If you like x, then you may also like..." insert and have been for a good while so I really don't know what's going on there.

You're blatantly begging for a Youtube link, so here you go.

[Yawnier]

So, can we expect a few brand new games announcements tomorrow? Or perhaps localisations for that matter?

Everybody at Nintendo is fucking crazy.

 

[qizah]

It's like i'm torturing myself.

Stop .

 

[donny2112]

If there's no Japanese component, it makes new games unlikely, and conversely makes announcements of localizations of currently Japan-only games much more likely.

 

[Captainsweatpants]

Nintendo should really consider showing us the rest of their secret Wii U games. I mean, E3 isn't what it used to be, they can still show us all the upcoming Games in a Wii U direct and make E3 all about Press and Playable Demos.

 

[donny2112]

I mean, E3 isn't what it used to be, they can still show us all the upcoming Games in a Wii U direct and make E3 all about Press and Playable Demos.

Why not do both? E3 for the press, and Nintendo Direct just before and/or after (i.e. like last year) for more in-depth gamer-focused explanations of stuff.

 

[Bagu]

Everybody at Nintendo is fucking crazy.

And that's what makes them Nintendo...
for better or for worse.

 

[Iacobellis]

Hm, maybe Animal Crossing can slip up to May 9th? Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

 

[Data West]

What would you guys want more for a new Zelda game. Obviously they did top-down because it was easier with the DS hardware, but now they've proven they can do OOT style on the 3DS.

So top-down or z-targeting style? I found Spirit Tracks and Hourglass real lackluster, so I'm kind of leaning towards z-targeting style.

 

[ArtHands]

I strongly think they will talk about fire emblem dlc and the discount sales of guild01 , and then shows off new stuffs for upcoming titles.

We will most probably see some localization news too

7:00 AM?

Honestly if they made a classic 3D Zelda, I would buy a 3DS in a heartbeat.

This would be amazing, if only because my birthday is the same day.

Though it is nothing but a dream.

I mean they should show the Games right now...like ..next week. Wii U is still doing bad at sales. It's a bummer.

Top-down.

If we don't get another top-down style Zelda within this generation, I fear that we might never see one again. And I really think that the LTTP style is something that should be fully utilized once more(ideally, with no more touch screen gimmicks).

 

[Pyrokai]

So is it a no show for a Japanese Direct this time?


Edit: If I had waited just one damn second....

What does this one say? Something about update (mentioned Wii U and Google Translate gives bad wording, but mention update twice)?

Luigi special 2? Hype slowly delfating :/

 

[BY2K]

Another Luigi special? Hype down.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Luigi Special 2, Japan, 11PM 3DS & Wii U.

 

[Frolow]

Super Luigi U details I'm guessing.

 

[enishi]

NCL announced Japan Direct on 17 April 11 PM (Japan time, ie same time as other regions)

It will also have Nintendo WiiU titles update and information on next week's system update.

The Wii U update is going out next week, so they'll be introducing it during the direct.

 

[GulAtiCa]

It almost sounds like the Japan one is different, also features Wii U?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Wii U update next week, details tonight.

Information focused on 'Year of Luigi' titles, 3DS and Wii U title information.

 

[DaBoss]

So can we get hype train rolling now?! Someone the gifs!

The Wii U update is going out next week, so they'll be introducing it during the direct.

So some Wii U info isn't out of the question in the NA/EU direct.

Or they'll have a separate Direct next week or something.

 

[Darryl]

what can there be left to announce? 3D Mario doesn't exist and it's really a Luigi game?

 

[serplux]

Wii U update next week, details tonight.

So...are we going get Wii U info too?

 

[DaBoss]

what can there be left to announce? 3D Mario doesn't exist and it's really a Luigi game?

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team & Super Luigi U is what can be shared regarding Year of Luigi that was already announced.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

They'll pull that "Link is green like Luigi!" bullshit again and announce a 3DS Zelda.
