I'm not denying that at all. That's why I said "relatively niche" and not just "niche".

I'd definitely put it a tier above some of the truly niche Smash franchises like MOTHER and Xenoblade, but it's definitely nowhere near the level of Animal Crossing (which has grown into one of Nintendo's bigger series).
At the very least, while it may not be there yet, it seems like Nintendo's really trying to make it not-so-niche, what with how much marketing and advertising Pikmin continues to get. The shorts, Pikmin 3 advertising everywhere, toys and other merchandise, some hints toward a possible amiibo line (probably for 4), and hell, even the fact that the 3DS save data transfer animation features the Pikmin.

I can actually see it become full-on not niche if it keeps up, personally.

I actually have to ask, Burb. What do you think of all of this?
There's not enough clear information on it for me to really care.

I'm just waiting until someone spills the beans, the announcement is made, or we reach the deadline.

The thing is this spread in a way that doesn't even make sense to me. Especially when it's oh so so so so so super secret and yet every day someone has whispered something new to someone else?

The spread of cockroaches? Makes sense, and it's kind of a bad way to refer to this.

This started off as two people knowing stuff, then three, then four, then five. It was almost as if they told one another. Secrets don't work like cockroaches. That's why they're secrets, they're not meant to be spread.
There's honestly a loooong list of people.

I've said it repeatedly, but there are a lot more people in the know then people realize. Once again, when you see a couple of roaches scurrying about, the walls are infested.
(¬‿¬)

Way more people got a hold of the ESRB footage than many of you are aware of, and it took days for the videos to finally leak. It's not unprecedented or unbelievable for this many people to be in the know without the info truly getting out.

I just learned that Galaxy 1 is currently Japan exclusive on the eShop.

This upsets me for some reason.

Wait? They said Twilight Princess HD was in the update listing that's coming this Thursday? There's no doubt in my mind that a possible Direct is coming soon. All these rumors seem to be lining up pretty well.

Wii U transfer too, I think.

I know this is a joke, but it's a joke that was physically painful to read.
Sorry if the truth hurts
Sorry but the best husbando, Zant, is from Twilight Princess.

So by default it can't be trash.

And now he can be best husbando in HD.
Ghirahim>>>>Trash>>>>>>Zant
Fixed it.
Still waiting for the Legend of Groose
when the hell is NA getting xenoblade
Next year
But you'll only be able to download it if your Wii U is located in a GameStop
And only if you get it before the stock runs out

I want to be a cockroach.

Can I be a cockroach?

"Coricus, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"A cockroach, mommy!"

OK, we're just NEEDING a Direct at this point:

- Splatoon getting the Octolings campaign and making them playable in other modes. Big update, big deal;
- Smash4 getting new fighter(s) as discovered through the latest patch and all this rumor between conversations;
- Super Mario Galaxy being released on Wii U Virtual Console in the West;
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is a lock by now;
- rumors on Pokémon Z are floating around, isn't it?;
- Mobile game with DeNA being teased to be announced 'soon';
- Club Nintendo substitute needing to be introduced;
- Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Pokémon GO, Pokkén Tournament, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Lost Reavers, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and some few others, all needing desperately updates;
- And yeah, more Amiibo, probably (Super Mario Wave 2, Animal Crossing Wave 2, Roy, Ryu and Lucas);

I forgot something?

If what Spazzy D and Vaan says is true, this is how I'm choosing to see all these people in the know as. This video and song.

What if we get a Nintendo Direct Micro instead

That'd be hilarious since they're unannounced.

So watching Owarimonogatari and come across this little scene with a certain Inkling Girl in Powerpuff Girl style art. Pretty cool stuff.

Well.

TP getting an HD remake pleases me.

WW and TP were the two Zelda games my friends borrowed and never gave back.

So this just works out perfectly! :4link::4zelda::4sheik::4ganondorf::4tlink:
I never got back my WW but at least I got and still have Conker's Bad Fur Day instead... then the Mario Kart 8 extra game promotion came and everything went smoothly

I don't think all of that would be highlighted in a single Direct. It's just too much.

I think a lot of the games at the bottom of the list wouldn't be shown off so soon. GO wasn't announced that long ago, and I think Pokken can wait, too. Mario Tennis, Paper Jam, and AC amiibo Festival are the ones in the most dire need of some information.

Am I the only expecting a direct to just be randomly uploaded to Nintendo's YouTube tonight lol.
I doubt it, all the other Directs that were posted without any sort of warning beforehand were either game-specific or region-specific.

Or Micro, but that was basically a condensed version of one of the Japanese-exclusive Directs, if I recall correctly.
