Forums - Nintendo - New Nintendo Direct video/infomercial tomorrow

So this was half awesome, half total letdown.

Don't give a crap about Chibo Robo, Bravery Default, or Wii Sports Golf (maybe Tennis but that's it). However..

Zelda/Dynasty Warriors hybrid looks badass, Dr. Luigi while not huge, looks like fun, especially for the online, don't care about Rosilina in Smash as much as many other Nintendo fans, but the game does look amazing.. And DAT MARIO KART 8...

Unsure what to think about NES remix. Feel like it's kind of pointless although I like the idea of competing with other scores/times online. May have to check it out depending on price.

Saying Directs is getting worse isnt right, this direct was just crazy good! 


Anything to do with Nintendo excites you though, Tbone.

I wouldn't say this was one of their better ones.  Hyrule Warriors & Mario Kart 8 were nice, but there was tonnes of fluff in the middle that wasn't as interesting.

Highlight for me was Yoshi's New Island and Mario Kart. Those games look better and better with every new footage.

Hyrule Warriors is a question mark for me. I've never been a fan of Koei's take on the hack and slash genre, but if they incorporate elements from the Zelda franchise properly, with some nice twists, it could make for a nice game.

No mention of X is lame, but expected. This game will be a behemoth if Xenoblade is anything to go by. So it's normal if it takes Monolith a while to develop it. They'll show more of it when the game is near its release date. They announced the title early because they knew it would hype people. But let's hope it won't take an other year before we get to play it.

All in all, it was a decent ND. But I wish they'd have announced more new stuff. Like a new Metroid. I'm growing impatient about this one.







And that Luigi's Mansion themed statue!! I want it!!!



Also Dr. Mario sucks, Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon is the best Nintendo puzzle franchise. Please bring it back Nintendo.



dat Chibi-Robo. i want it >.
