Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Official - Nintendo Direct February 13 - Focusing on WiiU and 3DS games in Spring

Decent enough.

Surprised by the announcement of NES Remix 2, guess the first one was quite successful for them. To bad there's not much else we didn't know about. Little Mac for Smash Bros. also wasn't a character that I didn't think about, but it's a good fit obviously. Mario Kart 8 is looking godlike though, could be the best one yet. I mean, those tracks! Don't mind the Bowser kids, sure they take up 7 slots, but who's to say they don't have 50 slots of characters in the game.

Bayonetta 2 and X looked very nice graphically, I hope we can put that 'next-gen' debate to rest now because these two definitely belong there graphically. Sadly however, they both don't seem like my kind of game. Like I always say, there's way too much crap on the screen. Child of Light looks like it could be fun, but why does it have to be download only.

Lastly there wasn't much for 3DS I'd be interested in, except Yoshi's New Island. That 3DSXL special edition looked neat and the game seems like it'll be able to hold it's own against the brilliant SNES game. I'm still not interested in Kirby though, his (it's?) games just don't do it for me.

Yea Bayonetta is scaring me cause it looks like one huge cluster fuck on the screen.

Though to be fair the resolution of hte direct seemed to be at best 480 for me, wouln'd tbe surprised if it was 360.  I'm sure on a HD 50+ inch tv it will look much better and not be as crazy.  Seemed people like first Bayonetta and I feel like that was probably similar.  



What a big waste of time. It's clear that Nintendo is simply incapable of developing HD titles. X maybe won't make this year and it was announced last year. Zero information on Yarn Yoshi and SMTxFE. No new titles. Instead, waste the time with NES Remix.

Again DK, and god knows how much I hate that game because Iwata waste time every ND showing it. I can understand for Pikmin 3 because the last one was so many years but if they expect people will go in droves to just play with Cranky or Dixie Kong then that explains the very low Wii U sales.

I was prepared to be dissapointed, but not as much. Congrats Nintendo, you can go lower than I imagine.



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


It was what I expected, people need to stop expecting megatons. Little Mac, the Koopalings, and the X footage made this a good direct for me. The new NES remix looks fun, too.

Also, why are the most negative Nintendo fans the ones with the Zelda avatars?



Best Direct since the E3 one; they showed cool new stuff on upcoming Wii U games, and didn't suck the 3DS's dick too much for once.

I think Submarine Wars looks cool and I can't wait to try it out...
Bayonetta 2 looks cool but I feel like I should play the original first...
Seeing X was great, but I would have liked more...
I didn't need to be reminded of how much I'm looking forward to Tropical Freeze; I already knew I was getting the game...
That time could have been used to show something new...
If only there was something new...
And I'm also peeved that they only named three GBA games to be on Wii U (I want more!!!), but I never played the original Mario & Luigi, so that will be cool...



Have a nice day...

They are pushing Donkey Kong hard because the DKCR on Wii sold 6+ million and DKCR 3D sold 1.2 million.    Stop acting like Donkey Kong is some tiny franchise.  You can't blame low Wii U sales on Donkey Kong at all until DK actually comes out.    If it doesn't help the console then, then it is fair but I have a feeling it is going to give a very good boost.  



People need to stop expecting mini-E3s every time these come around. I had little to no expectations for this and I came out liking what I saw generally. We always knew there was going to be yet another software drought, so I don't see the problem with having a few indies to attempt to fill the gap.

Mario Kart 8 looks amazing, and X gameplay looked pretty great. Child of Light looked pretty cool as well.

All those numbers and 'swoops' and things :-/...

Anyway, yes, true and I thought the lower quality of the footage was especially noticable during those two trailers. I already looked on Youtube if a 1080p version was up, or at least one that says 'HD' and more importantly actually is just that, but couldn't find anything yet. Probably be a couple days .

What's the point of a Direct if you're not going to announce a single new game for your poorly selling console? May 30 for Mario Kart 8? Geez, how long does it take to make 16 tracks? Nothing new will be added besides that anyway(except some characters and items).


Yeah, not like antigravity karts was new, such a rehash... :P


It really doesn't add anything since the camera follows you. Even if you're riding upside down, you'll not notice it during a race. Except when you ride on walls you kinda notice it, but meh. 

Are you serious? Are you fucking kidding me? It means there are new paths that can be created that wouldn't have even made sense before. You could race on both sides of a mobius strip and hit people on the other side of the course from you, you could have two people going the same direction but one's on top and the other's on the bottom of the track, you could make it so that getting hit makes you fall off, so that really good shortcuts that go upside down over a gap are really dangerous and risky also. If you can't imagine the changes in gameplay from the vehicles being able to stick to walls, you have no imagination.
