Why did you mention Australia in the title but not give the Australian times for the Nintendo Direct. I'll do this for you as you seem to have forgotten to do it.

Australia (NSW/VIC): October 24 at 9AM
Australia (QLD): October 24 at 8AM
Australia (SA): October 24 at 8:30AM
Australia (WA): October 24 at 6AM

Speaking of Australia, since Australia has started making Directs of their owns, shouldn't this next one feature Tom from Nintendo Australia instead of the Sakurai?

We already know this. Everyone who has the game knows that they're in it already

It's bad timing. They're basically telling us something that we know of already. This happened for like 3/4 of the Hyrule Warriors Direct

While I understand most people know about it, specially those interested in the game, a vast number of people interested in the Wii U version only haven't been paying major attention to what happened after 3DS launch. Today in a group of friends, one brought up today's pic of the day, unaware of the existence of Duck Hunt, talking about Captain N being in because of the zapper. Sometimes people just don't care enough to go after more info, though many of those might not even watch the Direct...

Here's my take on the matter. I'm actually looking forward to the trailer(s), as surprise or not, they're always entertaining and/or epic to watch. However since roster's been known for the past month it seems rather pointless to attempt hype on what was already revealed. If DH/BJ.'s trailers were PotDs then it'd make more sense.

Then again if there truly isn't a secret newcomer to show off for tomorrow, I guess their trailers are better then nothing beyond exclusive modes and whatnot.

The whole Duck Hunt trailer tease has me worried that he'll be announced tomorrow for the direct... But, I doubt it at the same time. Why would a SECRET character (as Sakurai described him) be announced outside the secret characters section on the site?

Weren't they all veterans, though?
Doggy and Lil' Koop are the only two major announcements/newcomers left.

Because Sakurai is the biggest troll you'll ever meet.

Gee, I wonder who that's hinting at. It's like they're trying to be cryptic and obvious simultaneously.

And it's not working. :glare:

I'm expecting that the only character announcements that we'll be getting tomorrow (if any) are Duck Hunt and possibly Bowser Junior. I'm hoping I'm wrong, and that there's an announcement either DLC or some sort of bonus for linking the two versions together, but after the 3DS version, I've learned to expect a certain degree of disappointment as far as the roster's concerned.

Well, to some extent, doesn't Ridley have a duck like face? :p
If the reveal is Duck Hunt/Junior and not a new character, man I'll be dissapointed...

You've gotta be ****ing kidding me LOL, why are people EXPECTING a new character tomorrow?! Even if we somehow get one that'll be free DLC for 3DS and unlocked in Wii U...

Y'all really need to lower your damn expectations, because the same people that expect the most, are the first ones to be pissed the **** off.

I still find it annoying when they change the names of things between different regions in games.

Is it hard to decide on one name, like Duck Hunt Duo? >_>

I think they view "let's not spil you" as a joke honestly.

It's lke, they know we know, but they can't tell it so they make it obvious without telling :)

Which would explain the potd actually...

Wonder if today's POTD will show off an image of Bowser Jr.

Man, I am excited for tomorrow. I have a quiz and a test, which will be hard, but after that I have the last episode of Daily lives of high school boys, a new episode of RWBY, and the direct! Yowza.

I need to know how long this is going to be. Isn't it usually NicoNico that reveals that kind of thing early?

See, everyone knows Duck Hunt is getting the trailer tomorrow? Why would Sakurai kill the speculation like this? :[

The DHD trailer doesn't necessarily have to be one of the new things (although it very well could be). They could start the video with the trailer and then Sakurai could introduce the video and then a little counter could be placed in one of the corners of the screen and would start counting with the first thing after the intro.

I can't be the only person just looking forward to info on the new modes, right? If they confirm DLC then that's a bonus, but I'm basically here to hope that Master/Crazy orders and the board game are entertaining.
