Give me Mario Maker. I'm expecting a February or March release date.

New 3DS will probably be there, it looks like marketing for MH4U has started so maybe we'll get a release date for that.

No Metroid. No F-Zero.

No Metroid. No F-Zero.

Mario only, Please understand.

It'll just be the two most irritating things in the lineup: Majora's Mask 3D and Amiibo.

Date correlates with some of the "leaks" i've seen on 4chan yesterday.

Of course it's most likely bullshit and 14th of January is not that hard to guess -- we were due for a Direct...

Soren · « **Reply #11 on:** January 13, 2015, 12:32:32 AM »

Major LOLs at that leak. Yeah sure, Intelligent Systems is shipping two games in close proximity to each other and one of them is a Metroid game that will only show early gameplay on this direct yet will still ship "Early 2015.

Pushmo and Fire Emblem 3DS, radically different games, were released within six months.

Looking at their releases, IS usually ships two games a year -- one in Spring and one in Fall. S.T.E.A.M. takes Spring which leaves Fall slot open.

SMTxFE is developed by Atlus so it's not what IS's second team is doing.

The "leaker" corrected that later saying he meant 2016 and typed 2015 by accident. Take that as you will. Reading through the possible leak, it sounds like the direct could be an hour or more. Just seems like way too much stuff and games to cover. I'm also not sure that Nintendo would bury or wait until the end to start going over the New 3DS. That sounds like something you'd want to start out close to the front with on a Direct.

We're probably giving it more attention than it deserves, given it's a 4chan leak after all.

Please, no more talk of new f zero. my poor heart can't take another breaking

I'm fully prepared to put down a preorder for a New 3DS immediately if they announce a date in this.

azeke · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2015, 06:13:17 AM »

And while we're at it here is another fake looking leak

Day one for Jeanne game on n3DS, if true

A preorder sounds necessary. Apparently NoA intends to release a limited supply initially in North America.
Because, you know, why not?

Soren · « **Reply #22 on:** January 13, 2015, 07:21:17 AM »

I'm sure they're already sold out.

I doubt that, unless they're exteremely, extremely limited. It's not actually a new system, and doesn't have a release date. Are there really enough people as crazy as I am to make that a huge issue already?

EDIT: Looking around, it doesn't even seem like any major site has it listed to be even possible to preorder.

I'm joking. But we're getting to that point. Amiibo has shown Nintendo can hype up something to the heavens and then make it impossible to acquire.
