Title: Wii U Direct Nintendo Games Broadcasting Your Way Tomorrow
Post by: Daan on January 22, 2013, 10:20:51 AM

A spanking new Nintendo Direct takes a close look at Wii U games and services.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/33077

NCL and NoE have announced that a brand new Nintendo Direct, which will be all about upcoming games and services for Wii U, will broadcast tomorrow.

Officially titled Wii U Direct Nintendo Games, the presentation will be lead by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in both regions. Also of note is that the presentations will be at the exact same time. Japanese gamers can tune in at 23:00 JST on this site, while European users can tune in here at 14:00 GMT/15:00 CET. Nintendo of America has yet to comment on a presentation of their own.

You know at this point I can't complain about not getting news from Nintendo often enough. These surprise Nintendo Directs are the best!

"06:00 PT/09:00 PT" is a typo, I assume.

Wii U Mini for Canada.  Does not support Gamepad.

Seriously though, unless they have purposely been hiding that all these game that have been announced for other platforms are indeed coming a little ahead for the Wii U or that Pokemon X/Y is going to have Z which is a console version with Monster Hunter style connectivity and being able to play through with friends I can't see anything super hype worthy.

I should have Broodwars record live impressions...

I think people hoping for unannounced games are going to be disappopinted. This will probably only cover known games.

They said "new games". So that's what I expect.

Prediction: Reggie will try out his new 2013 catchphrase "This year, it's all about the games." He will personally say it twice and someone else will also say it once.


Also, Lego City Undercover will get a firm release date, which will make me happy.

Yeah, let's keep the hype meter low for this one guys. I love Nintendo Directs as much as the next guy, but we can't expect Pokemon X/Y level reveals for all of them. So don't be disappointed when no new games are announced.


EDIT:


Checking around, the word on street is in fact that there will be new games announced. According to Siliconera and the Nintendo UK twitter page. Still, do they mean brand spanking new, unannounced games? Or games that haven't been released yet, therefore are still new? who knows...

I think the "new" game will be RE:Revelations coming to the Wii U.

Hey man, if you want to do a live impressions show tomorrow, we can do it. Just remember, you have to edit it.  :P: :

Nice of Nintendo to realize 3 months after launch that they'd better actually talk about Wii U stuff.

I think they may date the announced games that have no dates yet, and hopefully they announce at least one new game. For the services part, we might see something about the new Virtual Console.

I know this is nitpicking, but to be fair, it's only been 2 months since launch.


Personally, I would be perfectly happy getting solid release dates for already announced games.  I want as many announced games out before E3 so that Nintendo can't pull a fast one and repeat games they already talked about at last year's E3.

I imagine we'll finally see some new footage of The Wonderful 101, since they haven't shown anything new since the September conference.  I also think we could see some Bayonetta 2 footage since they showed a teaser trailer in September, making an actual gameplay footage trailer possible now.

So Nintendo is going to make all their new announcements using Nintendo Directs and then they'll just repeat the same stuff at E3 and the fans will be pissed and Nintendo will have no idea why.

I like Nintendo news.  Their old approach of constantly keeping their fans in the dark was not much fun, particularly when there weren't much games coming out and it was kind of important to let their fans know that their Nintendo system wasn't going to be an expensive paperweight.  Though at the same time I would prefer if Nintendo was a little more traditional in how they release it.  The "surprise, here's a Nintendo Direct!" method isn't the most convenient since it's pretty random when they occur.  Also they conveniently sidestep the videogame media this way.  No one can ask follow up questions if Nintendo just releases their video and then hides back in their ivory tower.  Hell, these days Nintendo interviews THEMSELVES.

I like when Nintendo is creative with games and hate it when they are creative with pretty much everything else.  Creative games on otherwise conventional systems with conventional controllers and online services and conventional communication with the gaming media and their fans is what I really want.

After Pokemon X/Y being such a cool announcement I imagine something considerably less interesting this time around.

I'm looking forward to your live reactions Squidward.

Also has anyone else seen that Monolothsoft photo on Twitter?! It's like an epically crashed space ship! I keep hearing that its new.

Hate this stupid IPad, can't post crap or type right.

Most likely no "new" news.  Just an update, Nintendo's going mention RE and NFS ports and I think they are going try to nail down some dates for Aliens, Pikmin 3, ect.

Might have a few announcements for eshop/vc/ect and another update to WII U OS (most likely adding for fixing TVII).

Wait, so this was actually full of new stuff?  Okay, Nintendo, what's up with this exceeding expectations nonsense?  This isn't 1988. You're supposed to have no idea what you're doing.

Aside from that Wii U Virtual Console upcharge nonsense, Nintendo killed it this morning. Credit where credit is due. Today did more in making me want a Wii U than anything they've done yet.

But I swear to God, if they don't bring GBA games to 3DS Virtual Console, I will riot.

I have to disagree.  All these items I predicted at one point or another Except the Mii Party and Yoshi Yarn.

Not in and of itself.  It was the First half of Miiverse stuff that made it lame.  Honestly this presentation would have benefited from some basic essay reals.

1st Part: Second strongest stuff
2nd Part: Weakest
3rd Part: Strongest

In this case I would have put Miiverse in the middle.  Games we've seen plus Bayonet in the front and Zeldas and Marios in the back with Xenoblade 2 or WW ending the Direct.
