    The fantasy-retro Japanese setting looks very nice. Now lets hope they don't ruin it with English language dubbing.

    Looks like that's as close as we're gonna get to it. :(

    Anyone remember if they mentioned a release date for Woolly World?

    That Direct had no effect on me whatsoever.


    But if I happen to buy a yarn Amiibo, Pandora's Tower and Sin & Punishment 2, then that's just coincidence.

    The attention to detail with the changing of the seasons and the music in the new Animal Crossing track is awesome:

    Going to have to buy the set myself, they are magnificent.

    Could Nintendo be onto something here?
    Could Amiibo and such toy integration be the saving grace of the company, ahead of novelty controllers and the like?
    I know that the Skylanders series pioneered the concept in the west but could we see Nintendo perfect it across hardware platforms and software releases?
    Could he interesting indeed.
    Though, it is ultimately just very expensive DLC.

    Hope myself it doesn't turn into the cash grab Skylanders has become, sad to think that emanated from Spyro the Dragon.

    Its terrible wishing your life away, marking the calendar, not according to birthdays, family holidays or such things, but with game release dates!

    Who cares about Uncle Bob's 65th, I want to race with Animal Crossing, in a 200cc kart, then see Hulk and Iron Man go to it!

    Japan-centric Direct on Sunday, 7pm Japan time (6am here, by my calculation)
    Announcing Wii U/3DS releases in Japan for the Summer. Might get some surprises, you'd never know.

    Trying to remember, was the e3 direct region specific, or was there just the American one?

    Big news is Splatoon update of Ranked Battles, new weapon and map hitting later today (probably 3 or 4 in the morning due to 'Murica time).

    Chibi-Robo news
    Mario & Sonic at 2016 Olympics (it has soccer, volleyball and rugby.... could it be actual fun?)
    New Dr.Mario in 2 weeks
    Bravely Second out 2016 :(
    Other stuff I cant remember

    I love how only Nintendo are like "Hey there's this previously unannounced Dr Mario game we made, you can get it next week" or "Remember those Splatoon maps we promised? The first one is out today!". It's really pretty cool. Not to mention the whole random mini out of nowhere Direct.
