Sweet! Hope it is true. Need another Fix of Nintendo Direct.

I started reading the title from the right and got really excited... until i read "probably"!

Well, he did mention a press conference the other day - where they would reveal the 3DS game, so...
But now i`m not sure if there will be a conference made by Nintendo on friday. Wouldn`t have they announced it by now?

Nintendo Directs usually only get a day or two prior notice

It usually more like: tomorrow, new ND! Please, be excited! :D

But he mentioned a press conference.
A press conference would carry more weight, but if it`s a ND, who cares!

So first a direct and then a press event? I'm wondering if the press event is only for indies or if there is something else as well. Maybe they'll open up to free games and such. Indies would want to be at such a reveal. Also, nintendo has their own free to play game coming up.

Anyways, gimme loads of wii u and a 3DS game or two. Also TVii in Europe and off tv netflix (unless that already exists, don't know ).



I view Nintendo Directs as more important than press conferences because directs actually go into a whole lot more detail about games and show a lot more cool stuff where as press conferences are filled with trailers showing graphics better than gameplay and dontbgive hardly any details on games. I feel bad for Sony and Microsoft fans because they don't have directs, they really should I love them.

More than that, Nintendo needs a Nintendo Direct, now. They need to reinstill consumer confidence, because right now there are 5.5 million Wii U owners who are afraid they may have spent $300+ on a dead console. I own a Wii U and say what you want about the PS4 and XBO, but their 2014 looks far more interesting. Wii U may have the "bigger" games, but they have more games. A lot more. I'm getting:

Mario Kart 8

Super Smash Bros. U

Bayonetta 2

Hyrule Warriors

Xenoblade 2

Watch_Dogs

What other "big games" do we know we're getting this year? Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, which I'd personally rather have on the 3DS. Maybe Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem? Maybe Yarn Yoshi? I mean come on!! Six slot confirmed exclusives?!? Look at all the stupid PS4 threads with like 30! Jesus Christ, Nintendo. And granted, they're getting indies too, and I'm getting some, like:

Q.U.B.E. Director's Cut

Teslagrad

Hyper Light Drifter

And I know there are more, but we're getting more indie support than 1st and 3rd party! And the 3DS looks even worse. What big 3DS game do we know about after Bravely Default? Kirby Tripple Deluxe? The other Smash? That's it? How do you go from 2013 3DS to this? My most anticipated 3DS game this year is a game I'm only guessing will come out this year: Majora's Mash 3D. That should be a joke! Everything else is indie! I'm more excited about Retro City Rampage, Iron Fall, and Cult County than anything that's confirmed for the 3DS this year, barring maybe Bravely Default, which I'm still on the fence about based off the demo.

We need a Nintendo Direct. These unsure waters need to change. There's no way they just figured out on Friday that they were in the shitter. They knew since the price dropped that it wasn't going to work. This is a multibillion dollar company. They made the announcement when they did because they've been taking action for months. They bought that mobile company those weeks ago. They expaded stidios in the span of months, most after the drop. Posting jobs for devs.

I'm seriously hoping that the next Nintendo Direct shows the first bit of this drastic change. They need to start being more transparent and quit leaving consumers in the dark about everything. 



Emergency! Emergency! Bad numbers, pull a new Nintendo Direct.
It must be this week and I'm expecting nothing less than the real Zelda for U.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


For reference, the Wii U Games "Drop-A Da Bombs" January Direct Featuring Monolith Soft's "X" aired Jauary 23, 2013.

Is it too soon to whip out my new "special occasions" sig?
