Forums - Nintendo - the nintendo direct (1/14/15) predictions thread

Hoping for Xenoblade 3DS date



Around the Network

Only things I want to see or else it will suck:

-More X gameplay
-Star Fox Gameplay
-Zelda Gameplay

Knowing Nintendo they'll hold back on those major details until E3 and show off more DS details now.



Eternal Darkness for Wii U.

Okay, to begin with, let's pull up the last january direct we had. 1.23.13

In that Direct, we had some good announcements. And if we were to mirror those as well as add some new ones...

GBA VC + EarthBound => Mother 3 VC
SMT X FE Reveal => SMT X FE Trailer
Yoshi's Woolly World Reveal => YWW Trailer and Release Date
Xenoblade Chronicles X Reveal => XCX Trailer
WWHD Reveal => MM3D Trailer


And then the other games like Codename STEAM, Mario Party 10, Kirby, Mario Maker, D&D SMB edition etc.

wasn't that also the direct where they revealed wind waker hd? we could also see their big wii u hd remaster for 2015 (i say sunshine hd).


I mentioned that.

yeah, sorry, saw that after posting. nevertheless, they seem to be doing one hd and one 3d remake on odd-numbered years, so i think we're due for a wii u hd remaster, probably from the gamecube's library. i think sunshine had some of the same "issues" wind waker had back in the day, i.e., fan disappointment at visuals (in wind waker's case) or story/gameplay direction (f.l.u.d.d. in sunshine). what else could they do?

metroid prime hd?

I'd love a NA 3DS announcement, Paper Mario U, and more XCX footage.

Hopefully we also get more information on Bravely Second's localization, Project STEAM, MM, new 3DS titles, and more Yarn Yoshi.

Hoping for a star fox trailer, Xenoblade Chronicles X release window, more Zelda news, SMT x FE, and more info on the Kirby game. :) Not thinking they announce something here, but Nintendo always has surprises...



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

My predictions are (reposted from yesterday's thread):

New Nintendo 3DS info for west. Price will be significantly lower than I've just paid for my ambassador, and the release date will be sooner than I'd want it to be. (Grrr.)

Xenoblade 3DS, Majoras Mask and Codename STEAM release dates, and why they're much better on New 3DS

Yarn Yoshi and Kirby information and dates

Mario Kart 8 DLC info, Mewtwo release date for Smash

Shibata-san singing karaoke (EU only)

EITHER Star Fox 'announce' trailer, Zelda dungeon footage, or info on SMTxFE

Hopefully something Splatoon related (demo/open beta, something along those lines)



Also; it's always worth remembering that Nintendo is generally fairly accurate in their description of what to expect to see. In this case, spring 2015. Anyone expecting anything after June is likely to be sorely disappointed.

The legendary 2013 January Direct was titled Wii U titles for the rest of the year, which was why it was a blowout. We may get a bone thrown our way regarding Star Fox, Zelda or something new, but the vast majority of 2015 holiday titles Nintendo will want to shout about at E3.

Splatoon is likely to be the latest game we hear about. Keep your expectations in order (the first rule of Nintendo fandom).

Literally every time they've had a "Spring/Summer/Winter/Fall" Direct, they've shown footage for games coming out in the summer, fall, winter, and in Xenoblade's case, the end of the next year.

Anyone not expecting anything after June is likely not familiar enough with how these things rutinely go.

Nintendo announces a Direct a day and a half before it airs.

They announce the theme of that Direct.

If the theme is supposed to focus on a specific season, that is always a bold faced lie.

The Direct always starts and/or ends with a huge announcement.

The Direct is always at least slightly disappointing because most of the announcements are fluff.
