Maybe some Pokémon Z news?
Probably not but one can hope.

Looking forward to it regardless.

spring 2014!

What do you think?

Cancellation of Watch Dogs?. Because at this point, I won't buy any non nintendo game unless it's less than 20$. I lost my faith in 3rd party games after playing AC3 and 4, only MH4G would make me happy .

spring 2014!

What do you think?

I know, thus the whole "Probably not but one can hope."
Spring lasts until the end of May though. But yeah, more than likely no news regarding it.

Well, the things that I expect to show up are

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze (Since its releasing in the next few weeks worldwide, and tomorrow in Japan)
Mario Kart 8
Another indie games reel.
Yoshis New Island
Professor Layton & Azran Legacies (Only in the America direct)
Layton VS Ace Attorney (Only in the Europe direct).
Mario Golf
Probably Sonic boom

And some stuff we don't know about.

edit: and Diddy kong in smash, either through the pictures or the direct.

Expecting/hoping for Pokemon, Azran Legacies, Layton vs Ace Attorney and Smash Bros.

Mario Golf

goddamn I would love a 3DS Mario Golf.

ok just gimme this

new golden sun......? MAAAYBE???

goddamn I would love a 3DS Mario Golf.

Uh, good news then.

Now, whether it has an RPG mode is another question or not.... (And decides whether I buy it or not).

Pokemon Z isn't happening yet if ever people. There was a 2 year gap between D/P and platinum, R/S and Emerald and B/W and B2/W2 (In japan, it was a bit less in the west because the first 2 had a delayed release). It's not that hard of a pattern to spot.

And if nintendo is going to announce another wii u sku,I suspect it'll be now or never.(Especially if it's a gamepad less one, but I still doubt it)

I doubt there's even a chance in hell of it happening, but I really hope they give us a brawl release date with this. Or at least an estimated quarter of release.

They have said that they're focusing more on the gamepad, not less.

Any Wii U games they announce will probably have more gamepad functionality.

What I'm hoping for is that Nintendo has some third-party or indie support for the Wii U. Given the trend of debs abandoning the system because it's harder to design for (esp. with ports/multiplatform games), it doesn't seem likely, but it's one of the things they desperately need right now.

Any Wii U games they announce will probably have more gamepad functionality.

I know, but I posted in another thread that I don't think they'll ever drop the gamepad, so I'm expecting them to make me look like an pimento again.

Also: An extended maintenance for the Nintendo network on both wii u and 3ds is coming up tonight a bit after the direct. The plot thickens!

1001 Spikes looks cute.

A RETRO CITY RAMPAGE REMAKE/REBOOT???

only good thing to me was new bayonetta footage and mario kart release date.

Ugh. X is looking far, far too monster hunterish for my tastes.

We already have monster hunter on wii u if that's what people want. Give me my epic 80hour + single player xenoblade sequel instead.
