The last 3 Nintendo Dirests have been too good. I just can't imagine this one being anything but an update on what we know about. The Nintendo UK twitter mentioned another ND right before E3, that's the one with new stuff.

I'm not going to get hyped for this one. I said that the last two times and was blown away twice.

We just wanted to remind you of the Wii U summer update. I have no games to announce.

Miyamoto · « **Reply #3 on:** May 16, 2013, 11:25:51 AM »

Pimin 3 and what else? Interesting...

Adrock · « **Reply #4 on:** May 16, 2013, 11:57:23 AM »

Wind Waker HD and The Wonderful 101.

Can't wait to here more about Pikmin!

I don't care if this is nothing but 30 minutes of them explaining a mini-game in WiiU Party. I'm just glad they're finally talking about WiiU again.

I'm actually pretty excited for for Wii Party U.

Also hopefully some more details on Platinum titles.

So says every cynic RIGHT BEFORE the next Nintendo Direct.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, make like Babe Ruth, and actually raise the bar:

The Warmup:

Wonderful 101
Pikmin 4
Luigi U DLC

Leading to the climax, about to have mind blown:

Yoshi Yarn gameplay
Windwaker remake gameplay
Wii U Fit

MIND=BLOWN:

Xenoblade 2 (or whatever this is)
Bayonetta 2
Metroid Prime 4 (or whatever Retro has been working on since DKCR)
The New Mario game from Tokyo EAD

That last section of games isn't going to be at this Nintendo Direct, they'll save it for the one around E3.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #13 on:** May 16, 2013, 02:24:12 PM »

Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 are delayed till 2014. Please Understand.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #14 on:** May 16, 2013, 02:42:18 PM »

I believe a significant part of the reason for this Nintendo Direct is to avoid the embarrassment of talking about Pikmin/Wonderful 101/etc. at a second E3. They can show them off here, then stick them in a corner at the show with one demo unit and never mention them outside the press kit.

azeke · « **Reply #15 on:** May 16, 2013, 02:48:05 PM »

Truth be told they didn't talked about Wonderful 101 on last E3...

immediate Wii U price drop to $199
and a handjob for each "ambassador" from Iwata
"please understand"

They did if you were watching on Spike TV. For whatever dumb reason, Nintendo thought it would be a good idea at a show where they were light on exclusives to not mention an exclusive new IP from a popular third party developer in their primary showcase, instead spending a lot of their time on the least interesting part of Nintendo Land.

I wouldn't want a handjob from Iwata. Surely there is some female Nintendo employee that could do that.

I think J.P.'s got the right idea. I figure Nintendo will save something for E3 itself so this will probably be more on what we already know. It will probably focus more on the summer for the Wii U, as E3 would be stuff beyond that. Pikmin 3 should be coming out this summer so the Direct is probably about the Wii U content for this summer.

199 is too low for the deluxe model...
i expect 250

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #21 on:** May 16, 2013, 04:28:01 PM »

pokepal, I was kidding
no price drop
I agree Pikmin and Wonderful 101 will be featured so as not to have to again spend time on them at E3

SonofMrPeanut · « **Reply #22 on:** May 16, 2013, 06:49:08 PM »

I'm at least expecting them to tell us more about the Summer Update. Other than that, no expectations going in. A surprise eShop title could be nice, since those seem to come out of nowhere.

They'll be talking about Wonderful 101 tomorrow morning.

Or Kamiya is trolling again...
