Meh. Dont expect anything new I guess.


New trailers, unannounced features for 3D World, Link Between Worlds, X/Y, Tropical Freeze, W101, WW HD, Wii Party U, Mario Party 3DS, and Wii Fit U.

With that many games launching within five months of one another, I don't think there would be time for anything else. 

Adding any more products to the mix wouldn't increase sales, it would just cannabalize Nintendo's other games.  I think there might be some of that already with X/Y, which I think will take away a lot of attention from Wii U when Nintendo needs the opposite to happen.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

I think lots of W101 and some video of M3DW and DK:TP that make them look more impressive than what we've seen so far. Some Mario with the camera moving and some cool level effects, some more DK with the moving camera. They may also touch on the Wii-games.

Hope they don't focus too much on Wonderful 101, that game doesn't interest me.
I wanna see more on Tropical Freeze.

Also, try not to get your hopes too sky high; people are always disappointed with these things cos they expect a megaton new game every time, which isn't realistic.


but is the next almost-big game of Wii U. Of course it will be all about W101

I know it's inevitably going to be focussed on, I just don't want it to get to the point where we don't get new material on other Wii U games.

This isn't going to be a Direct like the Luigi 1 and 2 Directs from February and April where a bunch of new games were announced.  Nintendo's fully announced their first-party lineup this year, now we just need hard dates instead of vague release windows, and we need details on the games themselves instead of going off the sparse information we got about most of them at E3.

I also think we'll get some info on bundles and promotions for 3DS and particularly for Wii U.  Even if it's not the WW HD bundle that was rumored, a new Wii U SKU likely with a big game is pretty much a sure thing, if Nintendo wants to sell Wii U's and make money this year.

I'm definitely not hyping myself up for much, seeing as how people always get disappointed when they do that for Nintendo's events, but I must say... a Kirby game on the 3DS would be nice.

If that's the only new thing we get, I'd be happy.

didn't they confirm a lot of W101 in the next direct? I guess that's the one. I hope X finaly gets a proper name and details, as well as a new announcement.


Honestly, I doubt they will talk about X considering they said they were talking about games releasing this year.

wouldn't be the first time they show something on a direct that isn't the main topic (games releasing this year).

and who cares? a man can dream.



I think that if a price cut is coming, now is the time to announce it. I'm thinking about removing the basic, making the deluxe 299 with 64gb of storage and include both NL and NSMBU as digital titles. good dates for that would be august 23 for japan and europe (W101 release) and september 3 for USA. they could also announce bundles for 349 that come with yet a third digital game (rayman or W101) and a pro controller. mario 3d world/wii party U/donkey kong should follow this bundle example later.



10:00 Eastern eh? I can dig it.

Time for some body preparation. I don't think it's quite ready yet.



I hope that there'll be SSB news.
