I think it will be. They've said there are more online modes beyond what they've shown, and I'm hoping they show us more of the single player.

Do you think that Nintendo will reconsider putting voice chat on the game after launch after the initial response from consumers? Maybe they announce it here.

Yay! I'm too excited for this title

No. They'll still be too scared of Mum finding little Jimmy being cussed out by an adult stranger while playing an E-rated game.

No North American Direct? Super lame

OMG! It looks like they got plenty more stuff to show us!

Wow they actually gave more than 2 days advanced notice o.o

Looking forward to it though, hopefully they can clarify a bit better on the online features of the game and maybe some extra single player details.

Lol @ they announcing this a week in advance. The despair is real.

Why? It makes sense announcing it with time.

For those worried about the lack of 'Murica, fear not:
