Heres what I expect

Start out with trailers for Bravely Default & Tropical Freeze as last chance to hype them up.

Announce Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon HD (was rumored and it was stated year of Luigi would continue into 2014) with a release in March (one year since original release) and concludes year of Luigi.

Announce Year of Yoshi and show trailers for Yoshi's New Island and Yarn Yoshi, maybe show a special edition Yoshi 3DS to coincide with its launch in March and possibly give a release window for Yarn Yoshi

After that show trailers and give release dates for games releasing in Spring. Im guessing Mario Kart/Kirby/Mario Golf and Bayonetta all release between April and June.

Nintendo stated that they would be localizing alot more games from Japan so expect Dragon Quest 7, Dragon Quest 10 and Monster Hunter 4 (3DS+Wii U) to come to the West sometime in the second half of the year.

Trailer for X and releae window, followed by Smash Bros character reveal and release window.

For the grand finale a 30 second teaser trailer for Zelda and confirmation the game will be shown at E3.

We all remember the amazing nintendo direct that aired last year on the 23rd of january when pokemon x and y, mariokart 8, smash bros u, bayonetta 2, yoshi yarn, X, shin megami tensei x fire emblem and wind waker hd were all announced. The star of the show was monolith's X showing an amazing trailer that wowed all nintendo gemers. Maybe nintendo will do the same thing this year and present  essentially a mini e3 in january just like last year, i hope so and there is no doubt that nintendo needs to restore some faith in its followers.

Maybe they will do the same this year, and show mariokart 8, smash bros u, bayonetta 2, yarn yoshi, and the anticipated Please Understand 2.

NEEEEEVER... get your hopes up for a direct.

Not so sure how big it will be. I have my hopes up, unlike in december (after which I was glad I didn't) but I'm not sure if they'll do it like last year. What they did January 2013 didn't work, after all, so why bother. Save it for E3, but give us more info on the games we have, moar indies, TVii for Europe and maybe one or two new games.

There is a possibility, but I am not sure if it would BREAK THE ICE like the one  we got a year ago.

I hope so.

We need a Ice climber 3DS game, Metroid WiiU game, Star Fox WiiU game, a Mother 3DS game, Pokemon 3rd gen remake for 3DS, a new pokemon IP (maybe the fighting one that was rumored) for WiiU, a new 3D mario game for WiiU, a new Mario game for 3DS, Majora's Mask 3D for 3DS, etc.

What's the deal about wanting Ice Climbers? The fun factor in the first game were lower than 0. It might get barable with good controls though.

and tomorrow they announce one like they always do after a fred asks stuff about a ND lol


If I only get to see more of X I would be more than happy


*dreams of a Metroid game for WiiU*

Icarus became a popular character because of Smash Bros so they gave him his first game In like 20 years and was absolutely nothing like the old ones.

Ice Climbers are reasonably popular characters so why not give them a reboot just like Kid Icarus?

Give them a shot on the E-shop. I don't feel there's anything they have to offer in retail format, much like Steel Diver.
