I'm guessing that Nintendo's logic is to try and counterbalance the excitement of the new announcements by reminding everyone that they still exist. If they only spent two minutes on existing stuff and 13 minutes on new stuff, everyone would completely forget the existing stuff.
Bravely Default reveal incoming
It will be glorious to get some real confirmation on this. Officially hyped
Agreed, people tend to forget that the main point of the Directs is to detail the releases for the next couple of months, with some sneak peeks at future releases if we are lucky. Its a marketing tool, and they are trying to sell us games that are coming soon.

Yes! I'll be able to watch it this time. I don't have a Wii U yet so I'm fine with this. I'm guessing Animal Crossing and Mario & Luigi info. Hoping for a megaton though (like always). Guess we'll see.

This!
Remember, it's like they did on January. For quite a lot of time during that Direct, we've been trolled, but then...X came. We came.
Makes sense. But I like to think they do this on purpose just to secretly laugh at us...
Miiverse 3DS information.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D details on the new content.
Animal Crossing New Leaf details on the new English-exlusive feature.
Mario and Luigi Dream Team trailer and release date.
Localization announcements (BD, DQ7, etc.)
That what I'm guessing. Would be nice to see something huge like Zelda 3DS announced here, but they'd be stupid not to save their biggest games for E3.

Zelda 3DS for NDs and Big Zelda for WiiU in E3.

I have a feeling that Nintendo will make E3 all about the Wii U...you know..the console they really need to focus on right now.
If by 'Big Zelda' you mean Wii U, that's hilarious.
Why would you do that?
Member
Funny, it was a couple hours ago that I was thinking we're way overdue for one. But still, my hype will only really go up when it's also announced for Japan.
Oh, I forgot about that. Okay, my hype is up a little.

Original Zelda first.
I'm sure the majority of the show will be about the Wii U, but they can't completely ignore the 3DS. They could easily give the 3DS it's own mini-conference again if they need to focus on the Wii U that much.
I wish. :/ I think them making a big deal of Mother 2 coming to the WiiU VC kinda killed that slim chance for the time being

1. 3DS announcements at the worldwide, EPIC Nintendo direct
2. All-day press event showcasing all sorts of gameplay from the new announcements
3. Wii U Nintendo Direct on April 24th announcing the titles they'll show off at E3
4. Showcase the Wii U games they announced at the ND with release dates

Well, they may announce still a Japan ND in the next few hours, and that would account for the unusual timing, since in Japan right now I gather it's night and they may want to issue official statements in daytime.
Not saying this is going to happen, it would be the best possible scenario, still it may be a possibility.

Well, they're doing it with the Wii U, so...
They should save a few of the big games for the E3 announcement, just so people can be amazed.
I personally am a bit tired of all the announcements for E3 etc. actually being known beforehand. Last year, on all conferences, it was just essentially confirming stuff that had been leaked/hinted/teased for months before
I would buy this.
I'm hoping for more Mario Golf news, watching the Masters has made me want to pull out Toadstool Tour and play that.

Yup, that's what I meant. What's hilarious about it?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Indeed, I just don't like to get excited about it
. I love Nintendo Directs, but I've also felt Nintendo's handling of them has been very mixed. Some great, some totally absurd with a lot of time wasted on trivial shit. Shit I'm not sure the people they are talking to are actually watching.I mean, this is the same company that had two underwhelming E3s, dedicated to their entirely new home console, in a row. Then oh hey guys Bayonetta 2 via an internet stream. I've long since stopped trying to predict how this company operates with their announcements, so I'll be happy to just take what I get.
What I'm saying is a new Metroid for 3DS would be very welcome.
We already know 3 of them, 4 if you count Pikmin since it STILL has no date.
I'd much rather they keep their mouths shut on new games until E3 but give us dates and info about announced games at a direct before hand

Well, Nintendo may save E3 to prioritize a relaunch of the Wii U along with the 3D Mario / Mario Kart gameplay demos, etc.
It's not happening. No chance.
Unless you're talking about Windwaker HD. If so, you're right.
sorry

Metroid is considerably more low-key than Mario and Luigi 4, so who knows.
we'd be lucky to get the 3DS Zelda. they could wait till the second half of the year to announce it. Wii U version would be lucky to be shown next year, lol.

Miku Mirai 2 will probably be revealed on the japanese Nintendo Direct.

Looking more like that. Which I wouldn't have a problem with if they would just toss us something. If that is the case then that makes my Wii U retail purchasing very easy as I want my next retail game to be from Nintendo after buying my fair share of third party games (Lego, NG3, AC3, ZombiU, and Monster Hunter). Until then I'll try to give the eShop more attention but I really want to play something other then another platformer.
The game just started development, and Anouma even said it would be awhile before we would see the game.
Oh hey guys Hideki Kamiya's new game which we're publishing worldwide via GameTrailers reveal minutes after E3 press event
¯\_(ツ
_/¯Eeeeeeeh, it seems to be more than a coincidence. Still, SEGA tweeted its reveal is going to be in Famitsu, and Famitsu comes out on Thursday, so maybe it won't be featured in the Direct. If there's a Japanese Direct.
