What to expect from Nintend Direct Feb 13 2014

[Aielyn]

My predictions:

New games:
1. A new Pokemon title announced; either Pokemon Z for 3DS or a new game in the Orre series of Pokemon games for Wii U.

2. A Metroid title of some sort. Hard to guess which system, could go either way.

3. A Third-Party exclusive from a Japanese publisher - for the fun of trying to pick things, I'm going with a new Square Enix title, possibly a new Crystal Chronicles.

Known games:
4. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - final push, reveal of something surprising.

5. Mario Kart 8 - Reveal of a second special feature added to the game (New vehicle type? Story mode? I don't know what it'll be).

6. Smash Bros - Two character reveals. Start of ND will reveal Diddy Kong, which will be followed by the DKC:TF stuff. End of ND will reveal another third-party character. I could see it being Pacman, Rayman, or, although unlikely, Snake (I only see him returning if the exclusive mentioned above turns out to be a Metal Gear title).

7. New trailers for Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, X, and SMTxFE. One of them will be confirmed for release by June.

8. This is my big "wishful thinking" part... Some reveal regarding Watch_Dogs for Wii U, something truly exclusive that "justifies" the delay.

9. New Wii U update announced, brings some sort of new functionality (like, say, a new News/Weather Channel, or an update to the Browser, or a Wii U equivalent of Nintendo Video on 3DS), and also further improving speeds.

10. A 3DS surprise of some sort, good for all 3DS owners.
