Nintendo 3DS Direct on 8/29

[Hero of the Winds]

It'll talk about Smash 3DS no doubt. I just wonder what other games that they will be talking about. New games mostly? I mean what big games are coming out that we already know about? If there IS any, I'd honestly like to know.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Mario Kart 8 DLC, Zelda Wii U, Smash Bros. 3DS, Hyrule Warriors.

 

[Tino]

Well, if Bowser Jr. is officially confirmed in the game, then he's going to be my new punching bag for my mains to use in training.

 

[synesthe-sia]

And Tanooki Mario as well

Cat Peach and Tanooki Mario... Like... Oh boy. We better not put Birdo, Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr or Cranky Kong in there. That would be too fun. Excitebiker? NO. We'll put Link in there. You know, I actually remember googling "why isn't Link in Mario Kart?" years ago. I read some forum posts saying, "that's so stupid!" Now this all happens. Amazing.

Sorry for the off-topicish post, mods. Ilu babes.

Still hoping Sakurai does the impossible and adds Banjo & Kazooie

 

[BunnyBoy1337]

I hope we get to see Smash Run! I need confirmation on whether or not it's a 3DS-exclusive mode...

Mr. Sakurai has already confirmed this to be the case in the last Smash Direct.

 

[The Nerd]

Man, I have to leave for work five minutes before it starts. I have now known true despair.

 

[BobEugCox]

OMG YESS ID BE HAPPY WITH THEM BOTH!:D sorry for the shouting theyre my most wanted characters!!

Riiiight?! Donkey Kong Country Returns & Donkey Kong Country Returns Topical Freeze were both released after Brawl. They were awesome games and because of them, Donkey Kong deserves more representation. (Especially if it comes from the often forgotten DKC 2 & DKC 3!)

 

[TrevonMarrast]

Confirm the Duck Hunt Dog

 

[ミスティック Speed]

Eh.
Who knows what will become of this...

 

[DANICK]

MAYBE CHARACTERS WE DON'T SEE ON THE LEAK

 

[Thegamerguy131]

I don't see the hype... yet. Unless this is confirmed worldwide, it's just gonna be a bunch of Japan-only games.

 

[Wishz]

Venus is bummed because he has to attend a dinner at 7 pm tomorrow so he will be unable to watch the Direct live. Rub it in his face by watching the Direct live from your couch and then follow him on Twitter VenustoBloom to further antagonize him.

Its happening live at 7 am not 7 pm. Right?

 

[proxibomb]

If the leak showing off ESRB footage is fake, I'll still be interested in it. If fake, I seriously want to know how they replicated footage.

Yeah, I doubt that we're going to see more Smash Bros. 3DS info (the leaked characters and all that) unless it's confirmed worldwide, like you said.

 

[starbolt89]

maybe a new 3ds where u don't have to find wifi to play online

 

[Sahfarry]

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Mario Kart 8 DLC, Zelda Wii U, Smash Bros. 3DS, Hyrule Warriors.

3/5 of those are WiiU games. I apologize if I misheard, but isn't this going to be focused on 3DS games? As much as I want to heard about Zelda WiiU, I'm kind of doubting that we'll see it at the 3DS direct.

 

[Deleted member 245254]

I do not think there will be a character because they would not reveal it for japan but not America at the same time.maybe a veteran.

There's some strong American entitlement here.

Nevermind America got two giant tournaments, America got the GameCube adapter announcement, oh and the Lucina/Robin/Falcon trailer airing at a time most convenient for Americans.

The chances of Smash information being outed is just as high here as any other Nintendo info spill...

Just remember, it's generally the norm that games developed and releasing first in Japan get information release there that needs to be reported on by American reporters. Smash is catering to an international audience as well as it can but don't kid yourself in to thinking that a direct aimed at the games home development country can't and won't be important only because it's inconvenient for America.

 

[PingPongCop]

This is our punishment for the leak. Japan-only Direct

DARN YOU LEAKER!!

 

[Mythra]

3DS Direct!
More Menus Hype

 

[Dan]

Why can't they ever do these things when people aren't at work or school? Come on...

 

[Hero of the Winds]

3/5 of those are WiiU games. I apologize if I misheard, but isn't this going to be focused on 3DS games? As much as I want to heard about Zelda WiiU, I'm kind of doubting that we'll see it at the 3DS direct.

Oh yeah, I forgot it was 3DS exclusive >_<. But I do imagine we might see some ORAS hype.

 

[Calibrate]

Nvm, didn't read enough.

Delete post

 

[Soul.]

Well, I guess it's obvious the Direct is going to have information about upcoming 3DS games such as Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Maybe Smash Bros. is in the list of stuff they talk about? I dunno.

I like how you just randomly through Cranky in your list with important Mario kart veterans. Lol, Dixie better get in Mario Kart before Cranky. I still can't believe they put Funky in before her.
Anyway, is this direct Japanese exclusive?

 

[Galespark]

I predict a delayed Japanese release date

PLEASE! I hope it's delayed till October 3rd!

 

[Deviddo]

I would've like if the information here on Smashboards regarding the Direct didn't spoil those gameplay videos. I was avoiding them on purpose and there was no warning to whether or not the text would spoil it.

 

[EVF Kuzonoha]

Maybe they will show something like this? .

 

[DarkStar64]

Maybe they will show something like this? .

Wait, where did this come from? Is this for real or was it already debunked somewhere? Because I REALLY want this to be legit lol

 

[L9999]

Sakurai better kill the leak.

 

[Pureownege75]

I heard there is going to be a media event for smash at PAX, similar to the one at E3. I bet we'll get a character in the Japanese direct, and we'll see more of that character at PAX

 

[Kempatsu]

Crazy hype incoming

 

[~Burst~]

Wait, where did this come from? Is this for real or was it already debunked somewhere? Because I REALLY want this to be legit lol

nah its most likely fake since some of the renders are different from the other guys leaked photos Dr.Mario and puff stand out most.

[A_Phoenix_Down]

Golden Sun 4 announcement!!!!

And then Isaac confirmed for Smash 4

Golden Sun U

 

[Zeroknight9]

Maybe they will show something like this? .

This one actually looks more real than the one posted here before. (and is that a ridley i see)

 

[DarkStar64]

I was thinking the same thing, but I couldn't find where that pic was originally posted.

 

[LovinMitts]

North America doesn't deserve the direct after all these leak shenanigans

 

[TheSmasherNamedArete]

I am wondering who will be announced first MewTwo Or Dr Mario?

 

[Nintendo_Addict]

Come on, Ice Climbers! Proof us and the leakers all wrong!

 

[CryoGX]

IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER!
