Wii u price drop + new 3DS xl colors incoming + first trailer of zelda 3ds

If they do end up dropping the Wii U's price, it's not going to be now. At the earliest it'll be in April, after the start of the new fiscal year.

Agree. Price drop at earliest will be after the Fiscal year. Though I really don't Price Drop ever.

The last ND was so good it will make up for any possible disappointments to come for the next 2 NDs. Not that I'm really expecting anything from this one aside from release dates.

jvgsjeff · « **Reply #29 on:** February 13, 2013, 05:40:56 PM »

I'm not expecting any big announcements, but I'm really hoping Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Pikmin 3 get release dates. We've been waiting years for those games.

Mop it up · « **Reply #30 on:** February 13, 2013, 07:03:15 PM »

I'm also hoping this is the release date edition. That's about all I'm expecting, I don't think there will be any new games mentioned. But you never know.

Shaymin · « **Reply #31 on:** February 13, 2013, 08:37:11 PM »

Quick, someone give me another name for Metroid: Other M 2 so I can have rock bottom expectations.

Although I will say this: If HarmoKnight gets Dillon's Rolling Western'd (IE: On sale tomorrow), I will have it bought within the hour.

please let me use wii virtual console on 3DS, I will pay to be able to do this.

miiverse for 3DS is must

I guess we will hear about that Google maps thing

TheFleece · « **Reply #33 on:** February 14, 2013, 07:50:38 AM »

I'm with everyone else holding out for Animal Crossing news. I'd also really like to hear about Miiverse on the 3DS, but I'm not sure since not even Nintendo has said much about it. Any 3DS news in general is best for me since that's all I'm playing nowadays.

I'm sitting here waiting for the NOE Direct to start and just thought I'd take stock of the 3DS retail games I've owned since purchasing the system. The last retail game I bought for the 3DS was Sticker Star. The last one I bought and actually thought was any good was Mario 3D Kart, and even that wasn't particularly exciting. That's when I came to the very sad realisation that the only 3DS retail release that I've enjoyed wholeheartedly is 3D Land.

Part of it has to do with my tastes no doubt (NSMB didn't really do anything for me , I don't enjoy Resident Evil games so Revelations was out, and I thought Uprising was ill-conceived), but it's really sad to think that there's only one retail release on the platform that I can point to as being exceptional (Awakening looks and sounds amazing but I won't know for myself until April).

Here's hoping that Nintendo have some killer games lined up.

_{2D handheld Metroid, 2D handheld Metroid, 2D handheld Metroid}

...Ahem

That was a great Direct.

Lots of games, eShop and retail, old and new.

Interested in DKCR 3D, Mario & Luigi.

Mario AND Donkey Kong looks okay, but it saddens me to see sequels the brilliant DK'94 turned into mediocre Lemmings clones.

That falling stone in a well eShop game looks fun.

Wii Street U -- i am trying this out right now. It's neat all right. Not all that useful for me, as i expected.

When i asked for what's the point of that, and someone here said it's cool to check your destinations if you go somewhere. Well, i will be going to Malaysia, and it's not covered by this. And of course my home is not covered too, me being in the middle of nowhere.

I went to London and tried to find Baker Street 221b but found some McDonalds... Maybe i'm doing something wrong.

ejamer · « **Reply #36 on:** February 14, 2013, 10:28:46 AM »

So any highlights? I didn't care enough to watch because I'm already kind of excited about 3DS this year and didn't expect any announcements to really improve my outlook.

(Seriously, there are a lot of meaty games I want for the system this year. Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Monster Hunter, Etrian Odyssey, Project X Zone, maybe Castlevania... Plus the eShop goodness should continue to roll along and I've got some older games to catch up on. 3DS had a tough time last year, but things are really looking good now.)

TheFleece · « **Reply #37 on:** February 14, 2013, 10:34:04 AM »

Ejamer based on your list you should watch the whole thing. They touch on a number of those titles as well as a slew of Eshop titles and sales going on. It was a great Nintendo Direct this time. Animal Crossing FTW!

Pixelated Pixies · « **Reply #38 on:** February 14, 2013, 10:36:35 AM »

I don't think I'll ever understand what the appeal of Animal Crossing is. It completely eludes me.

You obviously don't have a wife who shares the game with you, plays hundreds of hours, and likes trolling.

Meh... if it's mostly related to stuff we already know is coming then I don't think I care enough to watch. That's a lot of time wasted to confirm that my excitement hasn't changed in a meaningful way. I'm only curious if there is anything new.

That said, the eShop sales look hot. Not sure if I want Bit.Trip on 3DS or not... would really rather play those games on Wii, but at $10 it's hard to pass up. Mutant Mudds and Crashmo look like clear "buys" also. Will have to check how much credit I've got left.

Luigi's Mansion looks really solid, there seems to be so much more going on this time around. I'm excited about this one mat of all. When is it releasing, April?

Don't ask her:

It's coming out a little bit earlier, at the end of March.

March 24 in North America.

So TYP must feel like a pig in mud right about now.

Mop it up · « **Reply #44 on:** February 14, 2013, 05:27:46 PM »

This is more than I was expecting to see, I figured we'd just get some dates or something. It may be slow to start, but it looks like Nintendo's gearing up for a fantastic year overall.

EasyCure · « **Reply #45 on:** February 14, 2013, 09:03:56 PM »

Damn, even Iwata can't get a decent looking Luigi hat? It looks like that shitty Halloween costume you see frat boys wear.

So I only watched the NOA direct and missed this piece of internet gold:

The first minute or two is GOLD, JERRY, GOLD!
