Fantastic, after being completely ignored at E3, 3DS needs new announcements fast. I hope they announce it as global direct soon... or at least they announce localizations of he new games in a timely fashion.

Excited about the chance of being able to see Final Fantasy Explorers in action!

More information on Bravely Second and Final Fantasy Explorers please and of course DQXI!

Also since Youkai Watch 2 was released today Level 5 should be announcing Youkai Watch 3 any moment now!

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Bravely Second and Final Fantasy Explorers footage plz.

I guess Iwata wont be present ?

Didn't read 3DS at first, and was surprised, then I read 3DS and thought "Oh yeah, that is obvious :p"

Looking forward to it
 
I wonder if they'll focus on new announcements or on upcoming software. 3DS sales are faltering a bit in Japan, so they kind of need to work on both.

I was going to make the same cynical joke. Youkai Watch 3 announced and split into two versions.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Cool!

But I hooe the next general ww Direct won't make us wait too much.

Still, I think we'll get a Zelda Musou Direct first, and that should be WW.

Ummm.... Treehouse itself atleast announced 4 new games though.

Steam?
Fantasy Life
Persona Q
And Curtain Call.

And maybe other title too here.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Interesting. We haven't had a non-specific Direct for some time.

Just noticed. Look at Nintendo's official page.

It's red and black. So much black. I think the only other time there has been a black background has been with the E3 2013 Direct, right?

Black because the future is dark, and red because they're in the red?

I GET IT NOW... THE 3RD PARTY IS NINTENDO.

Heck, DQX could get a first look as well.

...How much stuff do they have? It's a lot :lol

Probably, this is when we'll know MH4U's release date.

I don't know what more to expect.

Curtain call was announced before E3. Localizations are allways welcome but actually new game announcements... that was just Steam.

Regardless, 3DS presence wasn't that big at E3 and 2015 seems pretty empty so announcements are really needed, specially knowing that this console is the main source of revenue for the company.

is it specifically described as Japan only, or has only been announced for Japan so far?

I wonder if this will have something to do with the 8.0 update :O

Bravely Second, Final Fantasy Explorers, DQX and DQ XI (...) and Revelaitons 2, pls.

Also, handheld versions of mobile titles like Sakaguchi's latest.

Japanese 3DS users just yesterday received a Mii Plaza Streetpass Puzzle update, which was a Megaman puzzle panel (very unusual, first third party panel?).

New Megaman 3DS came co developed/funded by Nintendo incoming? Would help with Smash Broa visibility too.
