I wouldn't say that. There was something wrong that this was the first time in months we heard or seen anything of this game when it launches now officially confirmed next month. The decision was supposed to be, in fact today by Japan's time zone. Could easily have moved to dispel the rumours. The proof will be in the final game and its reviews. Need to rewatch that bit as the NOE site had a fit at the start and so missed the body of the Star Fox footage.

I'd say its more likely that guy was talking bull****/had a bad source.
It actually looked better than it did. I'm excited for it.

It sure was. That guys source was obviously a bit dodgy.

And we didn't get a single twilight princess trailer, that was kinda unexpected.

I was so sure they'd end with that. They must be very happy with pre orders. I'm not impressed by it and yet they still got my money.

Zelda U is being delayed to be relaunched as an NX game :pac:

So is it coming out on WiiU or not?

No new Zelda this gen??

MilesMorales1 · 04-03-2016 12:12am

I'm pretty happy with that direct, except for two things.

1. Feels like the NX is looming over the whole thing, given how little the Wii U got there.
2. Sort out this cross buy **** nintendo, its getting ridiculous at this point.

edit - that is strong speculation on Zelda there, although a semi verified leak confirmed it, it'll get the cross get treatment like twilight princess did.

Ol' Donie · 04-03-2016 12:15am

And SNES games on 3ds, but not the one I bought at launch. F*ckin booourns.

anyone got any idea when the spec ed of fire emblem fates is likely to be available for preorder? I hear it sold out very quickly in the US

I really want to get this too, although I hate the manufactured rarity applied to such things. I almost think the special edition should be the 'main' version of the game so it will be a real shame if it's a nightmare to get a hold of.

Japan is getting a nice 3DS

Kirby Planet Robobot... for 3DS! Go get 'em CiDeRmAn!!!

As a massive Kirby nut Rorobots looks the business, an unexpected sequel to Triple Deluxe, and that was a blast.
They really need to release a new compilation though, possibly like the Dream Collection on the Wii, a collection this time of his portable games, there's so many!
4 new Kirby Amiibo though, bugger!

CiDeRmAn · 04-03-2016 12:57am

Starfox looks the business though, they seem to have used the time to reduce the Gamepad involvement, outside of a novelty co-op mode, which is great.

MilesMorales1 · 04-03-2016 12:58am

Europe:
•March 3 - Super Mario World and Earthbound
•March 10 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Metroid
•March 17 - F-Zero and Super Mario Kart
•March 24 - Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2

Sweet.

It's always important to note how Nintendo describe the Directs going in. This one was for "updating on Wii U and 3DS titles planned for launch through summer 2016". Any big surprises were unlikely. Though I'm convinced Zelda U isn't a real game anymore. Just a collective delusion.

This is exactly it. We knew what the loose majority of the stuff would be announced because....they told us and yet people bitch about there not being other stuff. I thought there was quite a few nice surprises though, the Starfox footage and date confirmation, Starfox Guard and the interesting looking Kirby game.

The Direct was always just going to be a collective tidying of the announced titles, the last additional Wii U stuff and any odd surprises (Kirby) that they had. The one thing I don't like is trying to put RPG stuff into other titles (Metroid and Kirby) I think they could do without doing that kinda stuff.

Also the Starfox Guard box art is pretty cool....

Did they mention pricing on the Snes titles? Probably a fiver a pop?

8 euro.

Mr E · 04-03-2016 10:37am

€7.99 is nuts, considering that I already paid €7.99 for some of them on the Wii U (Super Metroid, SMW, LTTP).

Even if you hadn't already bought some of them (or if you didn't have a Wii-U), €8 is a crazy price to charge for emulation.

MilesMorales1 · 04-03-2016 11:06am

It is worth noting for what its worth, if you buy mario earthbound is reduced to 5 euro, and vice versa.

CastorTroy · 04-03-2016 11:28am

Eartbound is more expensive than the others (9.99 as opposed to 7.99). So if taking advantage of buy one get one half price, it probably works out better to pay full for Mario world and half price for Earthbound, if possible. Though they may use the old "cheapest item half price" line

Banjo · 04-03-2016 12:02pm

Given that you can't process more than one purchase at a time, and the general simplified nature of the eshop in general I don't see how they can control which one you get the discount on.

The lack of cross buy makes this pointless for me, and just highlights the shortcomings of their licensing and account management models. Sitting here, not playing Animal Crossing or getting my Serebii gift on Y on my n3DS, I can't see those prices as anything more than Nintendo pissing all over the very small group of users who prevented their last console from being an utter failure. (we only protected them from the Utter though

). I'm not paying again for titles I've already bought on the Wii and Wii U. Christ, they should be trying to make the piracy / "dark homebrew" option less attractive or viable, not more...

CastorTroy · 04-03-2016 12:31pm

With regards Federation Force, I doubt I'll be getting it. Not because I'm protesting that it's not the type of Metroid game I wanted, but simply because I don't usually go for multiplayer focused games. (Splatoon was an exception.

)

Myrddin · 04-03-2016 4:53pm

They can feck off with those VC titles, €8 for an emulated rom is insanity...made worse by the fact that if you bought them for the Wii U, then you've to buy them again. No doubt we'll be asked to buy the same rom again then for NX...sorry Ninty, no thanks

Yeah but still I want them, in fact I tried to buy smw sat night but couldn't remember my password so it deleted my card and then I didn't bother.

It's snes games on 3ds it's awesome:-)

Yeah, that's why I own a Raspberry Pi!

CastorTroy · 04-03-2016 6:51pm

So anyone figure out how all the Hyrule Warriors dlc works and what is coming to Wii u? Was all a bit confusing

Linoud · 05-03-2016 11:44am

If you buy Hyrule Warriors Legends, you get a code that let's you unlock the characters for the Wii U version of the game, like Skull Kid, etc.

I also think they are planning 4 new batches of DLC, which you can get for the season pass.

Not too sure if you can get the likes of Skull Kid, etc, without buying Legends though. They may release them as DLC on the WiiU version that you pay for regularly, but I don't know if that's going to be the case or not. I imagine they will eventually but don't take my word on it.

Since I got my copy of Hyrule Warriors on launch day for about 10 euro, inc delivery (Good old Amazon and Gift vouchers) I think I can happily pay the 8 euro for season pass. :L

Direct! Next week. Pokemon focused. Still find it strange they wouldn't save this for E3 but whatever.

The link where it says Direct is just the one from February.

Mr E · 30-08-2016 3:14pm

It has been a while (I had to search for this thread!), but there is a new Nintendo Direct on Thursday 1st at 3pm.

This one will be focused on the 3DS (there will be no NX news)

http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-3ds-direct-to-be-held-on-thursday/

Corholio · 30-08-2016 3:15pm

Don't hate me cos I bumped this thread :pac: Edit: Mr.E did it before me, hate him instead :P

New Nintendo Direct exclusively on 3DS, so don't start moaning there's no NX news

sligeach · 30-08-2016 3:34pm

I called it exactly.

Disappointing it's only for the 3DS though.

CastorTroy · 30-08-2016 3:45pm

Ah those teases!

Andrew76 · 30-08-2016 4:09pm

Are there new non-Pokemon games coming out that we haven't already heard about or something?
Hopefully they'll mention a European release date for that new Selects range. Want to get Animal Crossing New Leaf for the cheaper price.

Wasn't impressed with that video of Reggie showing off the new 'Galaxy Style' NN3DSXL - "This is my favourite now. And I wanted to make sure everyone could get their hands on one as soon as possible..." - more hyperbole from that increasingly irritating chap. Who cares, it's a new faceplate, shut up with this type of crap until you've told us something about the NX. Yep, Reggie & Ninty just annoying me these days. :pac:

September 30th (I assume 3ds are the same day).

Ooh nice, some goods news for a change thanks! Had only heard they were out already in the US.

pasta-solo · 30-08-2016 4:30pm

Maybe they'll announce another direct at the end, one centred on NX? Or maybe they'll just wait and we'll find out what the NX is they day it's released? Who knows???

CastorTroy · 30-08-2016 6:37pm

Probably mention the new Ace Attorney

sligeach · 30-08-2016 8:07pm

I'm sure the indie developers that are trying harder than Nintendo to prop up the Wii U appreciate that this is a 3DS only Direct.

Pac1Man · 30-08-2016 8:30pm

I get excite!

I know it's only a 3DS direct but still. The beast has now awoken since E3. Won't be long now until the Virtual Boy 2.

RobbingBandit · 30-08-2016 8:46pm

Dragon Quest VII out soon will probably be more info on that beauty.

MilesMorales1 · 30-08-2016 8:55pm

How odd they announced that galaxy style 3DS model yesterday when a 3DS direct is in less than 48 hours.

They're gonna announce the NX direct date here. Believe.

Really hope so, it could do with more advertising, id love to see this one do well and maybe then they would bring back the physical carts again instead of digital only releases.

Star Lord · 31-08-2016 6:50am

Monster Hunter Stories will probably get a mention too.

MilesMorales1 · 31-08-2016 2:41pm

OBVIOUSLY FAKE LEAK. TRUCK LOADS OF SALT

Mr.Saturn · 31-08-2016 3:58pm

I could not have given two fiddlies about anything Direct-related until I saw the "Mother Earth" file right there and now I'm all pumped up, only to be deflated.

CastorTroy · 31-08-2016 7:15pm

Might be a bit believeable if all the folder modified dates weren't all around the same time.

chrislad · 01-09-2016 10:08am

Hoping they'll add a few more games to Nintendo Selects. Luigis Mansion was added to America's list the other day, along with Animal Crossing.

Ace Attorney · 01-09-2016 12:40pm
