I hope it's a stability update for 3DS.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Is it a localization?

We don't have a date for Hyrule legends right? Or for FE #.

It could be mine craft if noa was gEtting it first for some reason

 

[DownGrader]

Wait, really? I don't think I've ever seen any positive impressions of Giant Robot, while I thought Guard was incorporated into Star Fox or something. I assumed both were just tech demos.

My bad... it turns out Project Giant Robo is actually on hold while Project Guard is in development and tied to Star Fox universe (not specifically Star Fox Zero): http://kotaku.com/everything-we-know-about-nintendos-experimental-new-sta-1711733204.

Then it just weird why Nintendo shows Project Giant Robot logo (yes, it has a logo) every time.

Mother 3 ?

 

[30yearsofhurt]

I'm getting hyped up to maximise the potential disappointment.
There's no other way when it comes to Nintendo.

 

[Litri]

Hours to go??

 

[qko]

My four guesses in order of probability:

1. Humble Nindie Bundle 2
2. Nintendo Account details + timeframe
3. "Nintendo Account live now in NA"
4. Minecraft Wii U.

Anyone expecting a huge reveal like Metroid or NX info just has not been alive long enough to know that NCL does those reveals first. That's why it's a huge deal when that when Nintendo Directs are announced, people wait for Japan to get one to get hyped.

 

[JonnyKong]

I've just booked my ticket for the hype train. Train tickets aren't half expensive these days! Anyway, of course I've gone first class so I'll be expecting my free alcoholic beverage any minute now.

This thread should really have 'rumour' in the title.

 

[Galafar]

I'm lowering my expectations because it came from an NOA employee. It could be something cool but the chances are it's likely some holiday deal of some sort on preexisting games. At least, that's the worst case scenario so not bad.

I hope I'm wrong!

nah m8 the NX is totally gonna release in february and it will have 4k60fps gaming, my cousin told me and he works at a nintendo blog

 

[JonnyKong]

I imagine there's loads of Nintendo employees right now looking through their fingers at their computer screens,

"oh gawd, the Internet all think we're going to announce something big today, oh gawd"

 

[Roo]

A little too late for that.
This train is going to crash and burn anyway.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Oh, Japan isn't in on this? Must be the nintendo account then

 

[GoldStarz]

This thread should really have 'rumour' in the title.

Didn't the "something big" come from a official source? It may be rumors about what it is, but it's official that there IS something, right?

Don't use Kotaku as a source of facts. Indeed, Project Giant Robot has a logo and has been listed at each investor's meeting.

Both the "project" titles were in very early development during E3 2014.

NoE have stated we won't see Nintendo Account till March, and the Japanese launch was preliminary - just to allow purchases from nintendo.co.jp.

It was an NoA employee who announced this and NoA hasn't stated anything on the Nintendo Account yet.

 

[Not75Drops]

Can't for the meltdowns.

It was an NoA employee who announced this and NoA hasn't stated anything on the Nintendo Account yet.

Apparently he was talking to a guy in Europe and referred to his timezone according to another post.

[Roshin]

Like most others, I expect this to be nothing, maybe a smallish pricecut on something. That said, it would be nice if Nintendo (for once) came out swinging and really did surprise everyone.

 

[KingBroly]

The EU eShop PR is apparently late, so......

maybe there's a BIG BIG eShop Week coming

NoE basically confirmed this to be the case in Europe too, though.

 

[jeffers]

That definitely sounds like an indie/3rd party title. My bet is Minecraft.

Really? Haven't heard anything about that. My bad then.

 

[amnesiac]

It's gotta be Minecraft.

I can't dig it.

Honestly? Because of kids/families, it will be really big. There is a reason LEGO games and toys-to-life games are still coming to Wii U.

I know but it will have little to no impact on sales of the console.

You can get the game on mobile/ipad and all other consoles

SMT4 half off. Also yeah MC is a huge franchise that's been inexplicably missing (and we had that pegi post)

I think Nintendo has already abandoned the idea of "impacting the sales" of Wii U in general.
