Platinum Games announcing 'a little something extra' shortly after W101 Direct

I want an upgraded port with tablet support of Bayonetta 1, ports of Vanquish plus Madworld sequel(Anarchy Reigns do not count).

but it would be some other minor announcement that will derail my hype...
 
Maybe it's not actually outside of the Direct, but in one of those videos Nintendo shows from time to time directly after a Direct. So, not technically part of the main show, but still part of the broadcast.

This is something I thought of. Remember that NSMBU developer's direct and that Iwata Game Center that came after directs?

Though the way it's worded sounds like it's completely seperate. I wonder how it's going to be announced though? A post or video on their official website? A press release?
 
I also agree with the Wonder Red for SSB4 nomination. Maybe it will even be like Pokemon Trainer where you can tag team various characters in and out of the match.
 
If it would be something about Bayonetta 2 getting a Demo or some extra WiiU games it would be IN the ND. But its shortly after. So we can assume its something Multiplat or a port to PS360.
 
I would be ok with a W101 rep getting in.

Personally I would love news that Platinum has been given access to a Nintendo IP to revive.....like Pro Wrestling.

Platinum's unique brand of craziness would be perfect to revive that IP.
 
The ratings clash as has been said many times here.

It's not going to happen.

This could be resolved by making the demo download-only with a code.

Hell, even that's not necessary. If parents have enabled the parental lock, then kids won't be able to play it anyway.

Although, I doubt Nintendo will even let it get to that point. :/
 
Why would they announce it RIGHT after the direct though?
Because visibility, they're building hype with this announcement.
Why would they NOT announce during the direct so?
This direct is "supposedly" w101 specfically for 20 mins.
A littel exception for a surprise can be made, the description of a Nintendo direct should not be taken strictly at face value; they talked aboud 3DS in Wii U directs and vice versa, also two days ago they announced Layton VS Wright for the 2014 in the direct focused on details about the already announced games that will come this year

Thats why I said "supposedly"

Bayonetta 1 port.

It has to be this. It would be as cheap as chips to do as a budget eShop title for Sega. Just as long as Sega don't release it as a full price retail title, it can be picked up for other platforms for about a fiver but I'd have no problems paying as much as a tenner for it.

Not too sure about who owns the first game though. If the IP belongs to Platinum Games there's always a chance that Nintendo could include the first game with Bayonetta 2, perhaps..? I'd be cool with that too.

Watch it be nothing special and GAF will still have a meltdown, come on guys have you learned nothing from the direct that was just three days ago, temper your expectations so you won't be disappointed.

"A little something extra" says it'll be an unlock-able character or something small. Those looking for game/port announcements are sure to be disappointed.

I'm on Team Realistically expects some more Bayo 2 footage and that's it.

Same.

Mass Effect 3 is an actual story driven game and they didn't do that for ME3 on Wii-U

Nor Assassin's Creed for AC3. Nor Arkham Asylum with Arkham City

Don't know why people expect the original Bayonetta. Especially for fucking free lol
