The Nintendo Direct News And Discussion Thread

[Krazy4Krash]

I read this but was too busy to put it up here. Thanks for sharing it for everyone in a timely fashion.

Yes we all have massive expectations for this direct. And many questions. Like who will be doing the direct? Will there be separate Japanese and English directs? Will there be a separate EU direct or only an NA one (for english speakers)? Will they talk about things more than just the upcoming releases we all already know about. I don't think there is much more to say about them, we all know it already . . . Zelda U excepted but I think that Zelda U info will come in 2016. I also don't think we will get Miitomo or new Club Nintendo info as Nintendo does say ""updates on upcomming WiiU and 3DS releases". But I could be wrong.

Quite a few questions there and in a little over 2 days we will get our answers.

There is almost always a European-centred Direct in which Satoru Shibata (President of Nintendo of Europe) stars in-part that airs the same time as the Japanese/American equivalent. I assure you the Nintendo of Australia news page (http://www.nintendo.com.au/news) will update shortly with the specific details relevant to us. Although the Direct will be streamed on Twitch, that is the American-centred one and I do not suggest you watch it there when it airs, despite the greater ease of access, else you risk being misinformed.

The page for us to view is here: http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendodirect. It is worth noting that this page specifies this Direct will not have any details on the NX or mobile.

Please note that the presentation will not feature any updates on NX and mobile.

Being completely realistic, I expect the following during the Direct:

1. Xenoblade Chronicles X Launch Trailer
2. Mario Tennis Ultra Smash Launch Trailer
3. Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival Launch Trailer
4. Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Trailer
5. Hyrule Warriors Legends Trailer
6. Pokken Tournament Trailer
7. Genei Ibun Roku #FE Trailer
8. Starfox Zero Trailer
9. Lucas, Roy, and Ryu Amiibo Announced
10. First Smash Bros. Ballot Fighter Announced
11. Fire Emblem Fates Trailer
12. Short Satoru Iwata Tribute

Anything else would be a bonus. I think what I outlined above is enough to occupy an hour. TP HD could be true, but everyone should treat it as a rumor until it is confirmed. I'm not sure if Metroid Prime: Federation Force will be shown because the game may be undergoing quite a bit of polishing after its negative E3 fan reception. Deep down, I also hope Zelda is confirmed as a Wii U exclusive.

Nintendo has now said that they are focusing on games that will be released by next spring....
So probably... No Zelda U.... But almost undeniably, they will show of TPHD. The evidence is just too much to disregard as a rumor.

So yeah, @A Link In Time hit that right on the head. Though, I think that we could see Pikmin 4 as well. Perhaps Bravely Second will get the spotlight as well.

Tomorrow is my birthday, so I'd love to hear some Zelda Wii U or TP HD news. Maybe I'll bring good luck?

Well said. I agree 100%. I would like to add the small possibility of Nintendo talking about the new Club Nintendo in the direct and the 4 new Animal Crossing Amiibo I have heard rumoured (this is above the initial 8 already announced). But apart from that I think you nailed it.

Of course not......

I think they'll finally be rolling out some information for the successor of Club Nintendo, considering they unveiled it at a meeting along side their first official mobile game, Miitomo.

Cautiously optimistic about what they'll be showing off.

I've updated the OP with local times and links to where you can watch for Australia, USA, Europe, and Japan.

Seems like the updates will just be games and trailers, not expecting anything too major to be dropped.

Basically trying to advertise the few Holiday releases Nintendo has.

Did you let Nintendo know because if you haven't they wont know to include that kind of treat for you.

It's more focused on spring games however.
I must say, nintendo has a lot riding on this. They have dug theirselves into a hole by not showing any directs since their horribly depressing E3 showing. Nintendo needs to wow their audience to make them excited for 2016. At most, I think they will spend 4 minutes on Xenoblade X, 4 minutes on Paper Jam, and 2 minutes on Mario Tennis. Amiibo festival is coming out tomorrow, so I expect to see something very limited for it.

I think it's pretty much fact now that they won't show off Zelda Wii U in this direct. I think they are saving it for the Game Awards Show on December 3rd.

Or 2016 like Aonuma said.

 

[Lozjam]

Or 2016 like Aonuma said.

Aonuma never said that he would reveal information at any single date. He didn't even say 2016 at all. All he said is that he will try to release the game at 2016.

Aonuma never said when we will get any information.

How would one go about contacting Nintendo anyway? Call the 1-800 number on the products and be like, “Can I speak to Mr. Miyamoto and Aonuma please?”

Miyamoto san appreciates hand written letters more as he can throw them into the fire after he has had a good laugh.
