NA too.

NOA has confirmed it for the same time too. Waiting for Nintendo of Japan but they usually don't inform us until 5 minutes beforehand

I'm interested in this.

 

[Aquamarine]

I am shocked that there is still no Wii U news.

Apr. 24, 2013 Fiscal Year Earnings Release [Scheduled]

^ There's your Wii U Direct.

 

[hammster]

Okay, Matt from ONM is saying Joe knows nothing.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Well then. Looks like a Nintendo 3DS Direct is happening on Wednesday morning. 7am PT - just hours ahead of press event.

@RichIGN

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

what does this mean?

A slow-ass physical print magazine that never has any exclusives may or may not know something.

@RichIGN

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

INTERESTING RICH IS IT? HUH?

 

[BGBW]

MasterBalls's tumblr images are going to kill my eyesight much sooner than 3D on the 3DS will.

 

[Lambtron]

That 3DS conference thing that the IGN writer was talking about is this week, yeah?

This should be fun. Animal Crossing XL announcement for NA, please Reggie.

 

[Porcile]

Bravely Default. PLEASE!

 

[Astral/H3X]

However this will be a nice birthday present as my birthday is on the 17th.

Super Metroid is going on sale the day before mine, and I absolutely love that game. It's like Nintendo knows!

Same day!! :O

 

[Pajamas]

Ah, maybe this is the direct when 3DS miiverse is finally announced. That'd be great...

Doubt it. That's something big enough that they'd save for E3. That's when I'm betting on it.

 

[javac]

Its on Wednesday, hype train is boarding now though.

I saw 3pm in the title, looked at the time and thought it had started lol I forgot to notice that it's on the 17th lol

 

[BassForever]

Awwww yeah! Choo choo!

 

[BowieZ]

This is quite a warning - nearly 2 whole days (it's recently been a day or less)... it must be big news.

 

[Yeshua]

All I ask for is Soul Hacker in PAL land and I'm satisfied.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

@RichIGN

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

I'm super excited.

 

[Doczu]

Hype down by 100%

 

[DaBoss]

So they are gonna make some new stuff playable from what this tweet implies.

Hype down by 100%

Hype should be rising.

[Gianni Merryman]

Already confirmed for NA too.

NA doesn't make much difference unless a Japan ND gets announced as well.

 

[Aquamarine]

I'm super excited.

3DS Miiverse and Bravely Default localization confirmed?

Spoiler

I want to believe ;-;

 

[Flamfas]

YAAAAASSSSSS.

It's about time. WiiU needs it more, but I am excited for this too.

Hoping to hear about:
-Miiverse on 3DS/smartphones
-Oracle Zelda games dated for eShop
-Bravely Default
-DQ7

If Japan gets one too, then we'll prolly also be getting new game announcements, so that will be good too

 

[Majine]

It's the 3DS Mini. No internet, cheaper to manufacture, Timed Finland-exclusive and it's not even smaller than the OG 3DS.

 

[serplux]

Nice but we don't need a Nintendo Direct for the 3DS just yet. We had one already. We know what is coming out from now and in the summer. If there are more high profile third party games they can be toss on at the end of a Wii U Nintendo Direct. Or just announced with trailers on Nintendo's channels.

Edit: Unless it's a ton of indie game announcements.

15 more Wii U eShop games to be revealed during the next two weeks?

But this event isn't about the Wii U.

 

[Kouriozan]

It's time for that list again.

 

[CengizMan]

Looks like this one will be an important one. Can't wait!

 

[Frodo]

Chooooo choooo!

I'm hype. Gimme that Bravely Default and show me the Monolith Soft game, Nintendo!

 

[Sendou]

I don't think you understand how much I would absolutely love Metroid Prime Pinball on my 3DS XL.
I don't think you understand.

inb4 "Please understand"

Fix'd.

You're wrong! It's actually a game called Link!

 

[Jharp]

Even just a Prime trilogy port would be fine. You could probably fit the first two onto a single big cart and you don't need a second analog stick.

Yeah but keep in mind the awful controls for MP: Hunters. They could have pulled off the GameCube controls with a single d-pad, but instead forced you to either deal with awful touch screen aiming, or use the face buttons as a second stick.

I mean, what the fuck.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yayyyy. Give me more games. Preferably Bravely Default/SMT4.

 

[Doczu]

So they are gonna make some new stuff playable from what this tweet implies.

whatswrongwithyou.gif

Was it not this guy from IGN who told us a interesting Wii U news regarding Rayman Legends? If yes, then my hype has literally died.

 

[codhand]

Rich is Persona Non Grata.

 

[GRW810]

Incoming "but we want a Wii U Direct"- Posts.

Wii U needs one though. I'm perfectly happy with the state of 3DS; Luigi's Mansion 2 has just come out, Fire Emblem this week, Animal Crossing soon plus plenty of eShop titles. Wii U is the console that needs its immediate future laid out clearly.

 

[khaaan]

Trying to keep my hopes in check....too hard....like another part of my body.

 

[serplux]

Doubt it. That's something big enough that they'd save for E3. That's when I'm betting on it.

They announced the fucking 3DS XL in a Nintendo Direct and not at E3. It's Nintendo here.

 

[Nibel]

2 days earlier

This will be something big I think

He is that guy, but he's not the one breaking out the story though. It's a Nintendo Direct.

dragon quest vii

shibata pls

 

[Sendou]

Was it not this guy from IGN who told us a interesting Wii U news regarding Rayman Legends? If yes, then my hype has literally died.

Also the guy who teased Project X Zone localization. This has nothing to do with him. He is just stating the fact: that there's two 3DS related events next to each other.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Calling it now:

-Mario VS Donkey
-Donkey Kong Returns 3D new content
-Mario Golf date for June
-Rhythm Heaven 3DS
-Tomodachi Collection 2 coming to US/NA as Mii Life
-Zelda 3DS by Grezzo for Christmas
-Kirby 3DS by HAL
-2.5D Metroid from NST
-Miiverse

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Whoo Nintendo Direct... hmmm UK so that Brain Training game will showcase as well =/

 

[schuelma]

I'm assuming Nintendo is planning for a full on relaunch after E3. That would explain the game delays and near silence from Nintendo.

 

[CoolS]

I don't give a shit about anything he says anymore

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Honestly, I actually hoped that Nintendo would wait until E3 to reveal any megatons. We're only several more weeks away, and 3DS isn't exactly starving for new information just yet. I just want some "Wow" factor saved for E3.
