Its "first half" officially, but it won't be Q2 unless they overstack the quarter with Yoshi, Splatoon, and the Japanese launch of X.

Well they showed exactly 5 seconds of it, but it still looks great after frame by framing it. Reminds me of Chu'nan from Sonic Unleashed. Hopefully it's music is just as good! And my bad, the Ice one is the only one since we of course know about Wario's Gold Mine, Yoshi Circuit, and SNES Rainbow.

Can anyone give me a link to a replay of the direct please? I missed it.

I hope you're right, I'm bracing myself for another barren Q1-Q2.

just look for nintendo channel in youtube

Wow, if you are going to put on such a panic show at least give me a chance to grab my popcorn!

Seriously, this was a 33min direct whose primary purpose was obviously to promote the holidays/early spring while also putting in a good word for the new/young IPs that people are *always* pestering them about.

They want people thinking about Mario Kart 8, Amiibo, Smash, and Captain Toad right now. You know, their holiday lineup? I seriously doubt the software droughts will be as bad as this year. Not that that will stop the panic.

Only thing good for me was majoras mask 3D and I already own that, get with the damn program nintendo
o well no wii u for me ^-^

Yeah...I'm pretty sure you're right...but I forgot.  Still not sure it will sway me.  So many bills...lol. If I buy too many Xmas gifts for myself I won't be able to get anyone else anything.  Then I'll really feel like a jerk while I'm playing my WiiU.  Thta's never a nice feeling.

i am excited for majora mask, but i think we wont get any new zelda U info until majora mask released :(

Too many titles not accounted for in Q1 are slotted as "Spring" which is Q1/Q2 or "first half". 

It's very much looking like 1 game/month except the dead months where Nintendo never releases: Jan, June.
