Nintendo 3DS Direct 3rd Party Publisher Games (2014.7.11)
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
IntSys are involved and Fire Emblem is a Nintendo franchise so it isn't really third party..
Also, SMTxFE is for the WiiU. This is a 3DS direct.
As Zelda Musou is launching in August in Japan, I think we will get a normal (bimonthly) just before that and with a focus on the game.
That's a Wii U game.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Plus, they won't show a Wii U game in a 3DS Direct.

It will probably feature Gunvolt since it's airing so close to the game's release date.
I wonder if the red and black motif means anything.

Don't you fucking dare to play like that with my heart. Don't. You. Dare.
Having just finished Etrian Odyssey Untold, I'm ready for more information about the next entry in the series! I'd also love to finally learn more about Bravely Second. Lastly, I think it's about time that Square Enix shows us a trailer for Final Fantasy Explorers. Bring it on, Nintendo Direct!
Since April, we got Smash Bros. Direct, Tomodachi Direct, Mario Kart 8 Direct, Yokai Watch 2 Direct. It seems one of the new guidelines for Directs is to have not just more personlality/entertainment in them, but also more streamings for specific games.
By the way, Yokai Watch 2 continued the new tradition of Directs being less formal and more entertaining by having the game characters themselves doing the show, with Hino cameos here and there. Quite interested to see how this one will fare, especially since it's a more general Direct.

Wondering what the planned timescale is for amiibo on 3DS, because I'm thinking they'd be fools to not explore Youkai Watch amiibos.

There isn't any 3DS RPG that we know of being worked on by Monolith Soft.
I'm pretty sure artwork was just for promotional/recruitment purposes.
That said, I don't think Monolith's Project X Zone team has done anything since 2012, so we could see a Namco published game soon. Maybe Super Robot Taisen or DBZ?

Ok, so maybe i'm wrong, but wasn't there some art piece shown at a Nin Direct telling that some jap developer was working on a game for the 3DS? I'm almost 100% positive it was a painting of a wood, or at least a big trea. Can someone confirm what i'm talking about?

They're not working on one. They're main studio is doing X, and the rest assist with assets and such for other projects.

Maybe Megaman Legends 3 back from the dead?

They're not 3rd party.
Their 3DS game might be, we dont know anything about an upcoming Monolith 3DS RPG right now....could end up being another Project X Zone type of collaboration.

Can't see it being Japan only but if it is, here's hoping there are some games worth importing shown. FF Explorers info/trailer would be great.
If it is Western too, Yokai Watch and DQ VII (and X lol) localisation announcements would be lovely.

Wasn't this only concept art? I don't think a game is actively in development.
What's strange is despite being first party, like Brownie Brown/1-Up Studio, they've actually made games for third parties as a first party studio. Project X Zone is a perfect example of this, whereas 1-Up did the same with Mana, Blue Dragon, and Fantasy Life.

I wonder if Iwata will be there or not. I'm not sure when he went into surgery or when he got/or will get out and be recovered enough to reappear, I'm kinda curious to know what his opinion is of the get well card we sent him.

I will be watching this one live

it is sad that "Region locked" Directs are still a thing, but I'll hope for some good new trailer
the last one was 5 days ago...................

I'm not sure about NOE, but NOA usually announces their Direct at 9am.

Me too. Hype!
I'm surprised no-one's said Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire yet. I know that they occasionally do Pokemon-specific directs but I'm expecting (hoping) that we see more footage and more features in this one.
Otherwise, what's this about MegaMan? :O
Edit:

Yeah that is a point, something new for Smash Bros would be ace...
Let's hope you are right.
the main issue is that 3DS third party developments/releases in the West are so shifted/delayed compared to Japan that it would be hard to create the same Direct video streaming for all the markets
We could argue about the developer not being a proper first party team, but are we implying that Pokemon is a third party IP now? :\
