FIRST NINTENDO DIRECT OF 2014

[Jocario Zero]

If theres going to be a Smash-Announcement (which is very likely) i hope its something unexspectet.
Not that i dont want Diddy or Dixie but....it just would be sooo awesome if its gonna be...i dont know Chrom, Little Mac or Bayonetta
(i'm looking at your signature James92 ^^) and it would also show that Sakurai is unpredictable like the troll he is^^

The Japanese Nintendo Direct site hasn't updated yet.

EDIT: Got top page post, so might aswell copy-paste this:

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html

"Nintendo Direct is coming soon! Join us for this global presentation focusing on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS software launching by the end of spring. Check back here on Thursday, February 13th at 10 p.m. (UK time) to watch the broadcast live!"

Well I'm sure it updates soon due DKC: TF's release being tomorrow.

I suspect we get some ordinary Pic of the Day preceding a reveal (Diddy or any DKC-character, or Yoshi).

I hope for Kirby: Triple Deluxe's release date and more MK8-stuff, perhaps also insight on Yoshi Yarn-game.

Japan hasn't tweeted about the Direct yet. Don't get your hopes up guys.

OR RIDLEY!

 

[Superyoshiom]

Smash 4 is getting much closer to release, so naturally we should get another newcomer in this direct. We still don't have as many newcomers revealed as in the Brawl E3 trailer!

 

[Frostwraith]

Japan hasn't tweeted about the Direct yet. Don't get your hopes up guys.

Like I said in the Social thread, it's still 6 AM in Japan, so it's normal that they haven't announced anything.

Besides, this will be a global direct, so they will eventually announce it.

 

[Kapus]

Neat! It's around that time of the month where a character is usually revealed, so I'm expecting something, whether it be a veteran or a newcomer.

I'll be happy with information on just about anything, though! I'm definitely looking forward to this.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Global has to mean we get some exciting worldwide announcement. So hyped.

 

[Lugubrious]

Just the mere mention of the upcoming direct has started my heart pumping hype through my veins. Be gentle, Nintendo!

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Waaauugggh, I will miss out this one... 12 AM is when I'm still in school...

 

[egaddmario]

I'm praying that big storm hits Boston hard so i can work from home and flip on the Direct right at 5 instead of being on the train...

Im gonna get through a though day tomorrow. I will pray for the both of us. ^^

 

[WIldBam]

Screw a newcomer or veteran reveal, I want a release date for this game! That's way more exciting than just knowing what character will be in.

 

[CroonerMike]

I bet we will get 4 newcomers and 6 veterans. Seems pretty darn logical.

 

[Reila]

I am expecting the worst (a veteran reveal) and hoping for the best (Dixie Kong or King K. Rool reveal... or really, any newcomer).

 

[PadWarrior]

Remember this is only for games up until Spring. So don't get too hype. We'll probably see more DKTF, Mario Kart 8 and maybe a release date for Kirby Triple Deluxe.

 

[RelaxAlax]

Hate to derail the hype (or increase it) but it says the direct is about titles being released before the end of Spring.

So here's the situation

Either no smash info
Smash is released before Summer
Just a tiny newcomer reveal happens ala Luigi

They said that for the December Direct as well, and showed Rosalina as newcomer.
We will be getting something.. I'm confident they show us something Smash related. ^^

 

[kylexv]

Finally a direct that is not during school!
Year of Yoshi. Calling it.

 

[CombatScouter]

Wasn't Kirby Triple Deluxe announced in a direct that focused on games for the end of 2013 or something? Anyway, iirc something new is usually announced in global directs, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Just gotta wait for that Japanese announcement.

 

[B!ggad]

I really don't even think they have enough in the pipes to not be forced to put Smash in the Direct regardless of its release date.

 

[McDuckletts]

'Bout ****in' time.
That's all I need to say.

 

[NintendoKnight]

I really don't even think they have enough in the pipes to not be forced to put Smash in the Direct regardless of its release date.

What if they reveal the release date here?

 

[egaddmario]

>Forced
>Smash
>implying it's not what people actually WANT to see...

 

[Reila]

They always show stuff about Smash, regardless of the Direct being focused on Spring, Winter, Summer or Autumn titles.

 

[kylexv]

My guesses:

Year of Yoshi
More info on New Island and Yarn Yoshi
Fifth character for Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8 info
SSB4 Character announcement (Probably Diddy or Yoshi)
Kirby Triple Deluxe release date for NA and EU
Other stuff we likely won't care about

 

[Luigi#1]

Kirby TD relese NA and Europe.
SSB4 Newcomer or veteran. (Diddy or a newcomer)
Info on Yoshi games.
New indie game info.
Tropical Freeze info.

Why why why why why a year of yoshi why do people expect it?

 

[B!ggad]

>Forced
>Smash
>implying it's not what people actually WANT to see...

"Forced to beg Sakurai to put something new together every 2 months" is how I should have put it.

 

[R0Y]

Japanese Direct now confirmed, hop on the hype train!

 

[NitrusVirus]

TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSS

This is me being excited

 

[Rasumii]

Someone completely not expected.

Or a DK newcomer (I am praying for K. Rool since I feel like a DK character is inevitable tomorrow).

I just hope, since this is the first Direct of the New Year, that it's not a veteran, or at least not a shoe-in veteran.

 

[Reila]

They announced Pokémon XY in the first ND of 2013, so they better announce something big this time.

And by big, I mean a big character.

 

[Ulti-Bman]

a big character.

 

[fogbadge]

Waaauugggh, I will miss out this one... 12 AM is when I'm still in school...

Uh 12am means midnight

 

[gamiac2002]

There will be no character reveal at ALL for Smash.

 

[acekidgravity]

Look for the Sakurai Retweet....we've only gotten Smash stuff when he retweets the announcement.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Uh 12am means midnight

Oh right, my mist-

WHAT
