Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[FalKoopa]

Looks like the rumour of 3DS being supported till 2018 holds some water.

And are games being on both 3DS and Wii U a new rising trend now?

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Poochy for Smash!

I forgot about Ever Oasis

 

[Aetheri]

Now Wooly World on the 3DS....

Let's just put ALL of the Wii U games on the 3DS...

Xenoblade Chronicles X when?

 

[PLATINUM7]

As if Wooly World wasn't adorable enough. Gotta love Poochy.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Bill's face when he saw the NX:

 

[AreJay25]

Ever Oasis looks alright. Not a game I'd rush out to get, though.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Oh, Mario Strikers for baby's.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

NEW MARIO SPORTS GAME PogChamp

 

[Curious Villager]

Wow, Super Mario Maker and Yoshi's Woolly World both ported to the 3DS as well? How many Wii U games have now a 3DS version?

 

[FalKoopa]

Mario Sports Super Stars.

Could they have chosen a more generic name?

 

[AreJay25]

Pikmin 3DS?!

 

[Ura]

Final Game? Really?

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

A sidescrolling Pikmin?!

----

 

[A Distant Demon]

PIKMIN
PIKMIN

PIKMIN

bRBRDBRHBv


Hell yeah!

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

PIKMIN 4 WAS REALLY JUST A 3DS TITLE Kappa

 

[AreJay25]

Pikmin 4 was a 3DS game, I guess?

Also Bill has telepathy confirmed.

 

[Ura]

That was anticlimactic.

 

[Yellowlord]

Well... No Etrian Odysssey 5 translation, nor a new Golden Sun game or even mentions of Mother 3. This is unfortunate...

Here's hoping those three eventually pop up sometime in the future...

 

[FalKoopa]

GG, you have to try really hard to make even someone expecting nothing be underwhelmed.

 

[Burruni]

[AreJay25]

Well, that was a Direct.

I wasn't really expecting much, but there were a couple of cool things in there.

But seriously... no online functionality for Mario Maker 3DS?

 

[A Distant Demon]

I cared for nothing in that dircet


But holy **** a new PIkmin game man!


What a great ending. Hoping it isn't Chibi Robo tier and keeps up that Pikmin level quality Because damn I am excited for that

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Thank you Nintendo, for making me regret buying the Wii U even more.

But at least Alola Rattata was cool...

 

[AreJay25]

I gotta say, I was getting some Yoshi's New Island vibes from Pikmin's graphics.

I, uh... don't know what to make of that.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

There's some cool stuff but I can help at get an undercurrent of "the WiiU is officially a write-off now" what with Mario Maker and Yohsi's wolly world going portable.

And all those amiibos, it's liek Nintendo wants my wallet to die horribly.

 

[Wolfie557]

ZELDA AMIIBO!!! OOT Link looks pretty, but I have my eyes set on BotW Archer Link. Also Did the DS games have the Sand Rod as well? Thought it's just a ALBW thing... I like the moveset more than Phantom Zelda personally. Still excited for ALBW pack, even just to see it.

Ever Oasis looks pretty appealing, mostly for the great character designs but not getting it. Looks better than Codename Steam imo.

Porting Wii U games to 3DS eh? Quite smart. I think Kirby's Canvas Curse should get this treatment too.

An actual Mario Spinoff game with ONLINE?! Miracle. Tho not interested.

Alola Rattata looks better than normal Rattata.

IDC if it's a side scrolling 'action adventure' platformer and not a Pikmin Village simulation......I want it!!! Is this a full price game tho? Bit too expensive unless there is more to this than so far revealed...
I'm soooo glad Pikmin is still getting new games. Can't wait to see Pikmin 4 NX either. (I still demand a eshop Kid Icarus game)

7/10. A Solid Direct imo.

 

[Ura]

Other than the LoZ stuff this seemed like a throwaway Direct.

Here's hoping the NX reveal is not far away from now and is revealed before this month comes to a close.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

The new Pikmin game looks about as disinteresting as Zip Lash did in my opinion.

 

[Curious Villager]

Toon Link and Toon Zelda are sold in a bundle. I mean I already have a Smash Toon Link amiibo but I'm okay with that.
Hey I adore the Wind Waker okay? sue me....

 

[Aetheri]

So things I liked in the Direct...

Alola was pretty cool (we can cross a new unused type combo off now)
Super Mario Maker on the 3DS...
Zelda amiibos...

yeah that's about it...even that was not that much...

New pikmin game...was alright I guess...

 

[Zzuxon]

Rather disappointed Pikmin 4 won't be an NX title.
Direct was alright, I didn't expect much going in so they did well.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh boy... Professor Pumpkaboo ! You might of been hyped for this!

The animal crossing new made me happyy. Plus AC mini direct hype

 

[Deleted member]

- Classic Zelda amiibos

Spoiler

- And Wii U has just lost 2 of its few arguments.

On the brighter side:
- Pikmin 3DS

A very meh Direct honestly. On par with last November's (minus 's reveal).

 

[AreJay25]

Alolan Rattata is neat, though I wished they showed off Alolan Raticate too.

 

[Pazzo.]

Here's all I have to say regarding the direct.

 

[Yellowlord]

The animal crossing new made me happyy. Plus AC mini direct hype

What about Ace Attorney? I thought you had said you were hyped for this.

 

[FalKoopa]

To summarise the Direct for me.

• Yay for Alolan Rattata and Sun/Moon info!
• SMM 3DS not having online stage sharing seems foolish.
• Hyrule Warriors Legends was nice.
• New Toon Link amiibo HNNGH.
• Spirit of Justice info yay!
• Ever Oasis looks very promising.
• Pikmin 3DS is ehhh.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

while everyone is underwelmed, Im perfectly fine, I liked it.

What about Ace Attorney? I thought you had said you were hyped for this.

Well Im more intrested in The Great Ace Attorney then that one

 

[AreJay25]

The NX's reveal date is still in the dark, though.

I'm starting to think that the NX doesn't exist, guys

 

[Deleted member]

I also wonder which studio is developing the new Mario Sports game.

Camelot or Square Enix ?
