Better yet, just give the 3DS GBA games.

Really is weird, isn't it? They clearly have the means to get GBA games on 3DS, yet they've only ever done so with the Ambassador Games.

The fact that they said "No NX Info" leads me to believe...
That we are going to get to know the NX before E3.
The fact that that's even a possibility in their head makes me think that. They need their own time in the spotlight to show this thing. It's not like the Wii where everyone looked at them anyways. If they were smart, they'd hold their own event in early May showing the system, with more info at E3. Like how Microsoft revealed the XB1.

It's because running GBA and the VC service with it is apparently very hard for it.

What exactly HAPPENED with the 3DS, anyway? It can't handle characters the Gamecube could handle, indie devs are complaining that a phone can handle games better than it, and handheld games from two generations earlier are super hard for it to run.
I don't know what's specifically wrong here, but I hope whatever part of the specs is lacking gets a massive boost on the next handheld.

I really wish we got a new Wario Land game. I really feel it's been long overdue.
Heck what about Wario Ware 3DS? Was it really that hard to make a WW game that used 3D? (i never bought Game & Wario because it looked underwhelming to me)
I feel Wario needs to make a comeback into the good old Treasure-Hunting, Shoulder-Bashing adventures he had back in the classic days. Or at least, a portable full-fledged 3DS Wario Ware.
That would be a good surprise.

Most of what I want to see in this direct is just the usual stuff like Star Fox, Mother 3 and Paper Mario confirmations, etc.
The only other things I can think of are:
-More info on Mario & Sonic Rio Olympics' Wii U version. I'm hoping it has a lot of content and an adventure mode on console for once, and expanded online.
-Wario, DK, and Rosalina amiibo for the Super Mario series. They really should be continuing the Mario line in general but it baffles me these three still haven't got one since they have designs ready to go. It's just a small little thing I have been wanting for a year now. I know I will get the Rosalina (probably 3 of her, lol) and Wario ones.
-More info on the amiibo centric Mini Mario game, like how it will be distributed in the West.
-Hyrule Warriors DLC? IIRC, Legends has a DLC menu. And I would assume they would put any new content on both versions if they are making any.
-Anything Rosalina related of course.
-And it's a bit of a wild card but maybe something Sonic related?
-Oh and info on Pokken, maybe DLC confirmation. AAAND Detective Pikachu.

Welp. Things are getting interesting.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
The Direct is just a day before Twilight Princess HD comes out so I figure some last minute promotion for that could be included. Also more Star Fox Zero please. I'm eager to see what new they have in store for us (if anything).

Akko is my dear daughter!
I just realized, Yo-kai Watch 3 is coming this summer, so in the Japan Direct, there could be new info for the game.
Plus we could get Yo-kai Watch 2 revealed in the American Direct for a summer release.
And the original Yo-kai Watch game for the European Direct.
It's literally the Yo-kai Apocalypse.
Mind blown.

I don't know what's worse...
All the effort the Fates localization team had to go through to write all of a character's notable lines as Haikus
Or the fact that I know none of them will end with "It's snowing on Mt. Fuji."

Ok finally I got back from my happiness so let me talk abotu this direct.
So the very first point I will address because tbh, a lot might jsut care to read that part considering me, but do i think Paper Mario for WiiU will be announced tomorrow?
Honestly, I have no way to answer this. I have been torn the past months if they will do liek TTYD and release the game at the very end of life of the console or they will do like SS and release the game on a newer console not that long after it came out. Sure, there's that James claims that there is an unknown WiiU tittle by IS that at this point, is likely Paper Mario (that leak is like 2-3 years old), but the thing is.....spm was once a GC game before a Wii game so switching platform mid dev can happen. Then Emily Rogers on tweeter said 2 things: there's a Paper Mario WiiU game in the work claimed by multiple source and the most important thing she said is that it is being localised which is a very late stage of development, so late, that this rumor won;t survive long before i myself consider it dead.
Which is the point here: this is imo the very last chance I will ever give to this rumor. I gave it until a direct in February, but we now have the direct 3 days after that month end so I am thinking I am pushing it more than I should.
So to make it short, if it ISN'T announced tomorrow, I seriously consider the rumor dead and move on with it (not the James leak though, that one I have a bit more trust). If it IS announced tomorrow, then I would likely get 10 tags here so who cares?
However, this is also the last chance I am giving to have a WiiU game. Tbh, if it's not announced NOW then it might as well never be announced until E3 with the NX because at this point, they probably switched the platform anyway.
As for how likely the game exist no matter what.....that one I am goign to be greedy and say it is very likely to exist. The James leak helps, but tbh, idk why they woudl nto develop a new game, Paper Jam convinced me that the Paper Mario series is very far from dead and traditionally, the series is more on home console. SS was likely not worked on wiiU because if I recall the release date, the release date of the game was quite close to the WiiU console release which means they would have had to be freaking early with all the project shift that happened to even make this game possible on WiiU. Adding more to this argument, since the n64, no home console had no Paper Mario game meaning that if it;s not announced tomorrow, and I just said I likely think this means no WiiU game, then the wiiU will be the first console in a decade and a half to not have a Paper Mario game......which is honestly very surprising considering how much main tittle was released on the wiiU so far.
The last thing that goes with the rumor is the James leak, the timing just feels right for a full dev cycle assuming the James leak was in the very beginning of development (like maybe stuff like conceptualisation which I think is very early).
So, at this point, it;s a 50/50. There's reasons to think it was switched to NX and there's reasons to think it would still be on WiiU and I honestly don't know what side to choose. Even more confusing, there's a leak correctly predicting the Pokemon codename claiming 2 interesting things: Zelda NX is 2016 which implies the NX itself is for 2016 and finally, the amount of fund used for WiiU marketing is remarkably decent meaning it is very possible to see big releases this yeah on WiiU which would bode well with the Paper Mario rumor.
But I guess at the end of the day, if it isn't announced then I'll just wait because I wouldn’t believe no game is in dev and if it is announced......
Well, let's actually talk about that part while I am there because the possibility is there after all. I will actually be VERY conservative about ANY expectations if the game is ever announced. I keep saying I am optimistic, but because of SS, I am also very cautious. Which is why I ask 2 things for me to consider preordering the game in physical media:
oh.....and I guess I will be freaking hyped during my networking class, that will also happen too

I keep saying I am optimistic, but because of SS, I am also very cautious. Which is why I ask 2 things for me to consider preordering the game in physical media:
- It needs to have enough footage for me to grasp what the game is trying to do. This is super super SUPER important because it is going to tell me if the game is truly trying to move away from SS or is trying to get back to the series root or anything, I need to know this. A minute teaser with gameplay might just be enough idk, but it has to be more than.....just screens (this is what got so much people disappointed in SS btw).
- It needs to have a concrete release date. By concrete, I mean the year, the month and the day, that much concrete. That way, I will be sure that Nintendo is confident enough to not delay it to even announce the date because I am sure SS had delay behind the scene, but in the case of SS, no date was announced before that project shift so they were free to delay it. This time, I need a date so I know it is ready and won;t get changed as much. If I just get the year and the month, I will wait that they announce the day, serious guys, I am this cautious.
oh.....and I guess I will be freaking hyped during my networking class, that will also happen too

Honestly outside of Fates getting a European release date I'm not expecting much else to be noteworthy, at least for me anyway. They usually do have that one big surprise game at the start though.

Don't really have one though Steel type PKMN can be a chore to go up against so I guess mine would be that.
Just imagine. The Direct starts up with a trailer of Golden Sun 4 picking up right after DD ended and then it's announced that Camelot and Monolith have teamed up to create a 4th Golden Sun game on the 3DS.

After a little reworking of my plan, I finally beat Conquest Hard.
Top 5 units of the playthrough: Keaton, Camilla, Xander, Effie, and Corrin.
I'm not really fond of attaching Chapter 27 and Endgame to each other without a save point. Granted, most FE games have at least two maps to their endgames, but Conquest (and I assume Birthright and Revelations) have full maps for both whereas with examples like Blazing Sword, it was just the boss in your way for the final map. So if you mess up in the Endgame (and it can trip you up if you're not careful), you have to restart both, and that can be a bit annoying to deal with.
Outside of that critique, I didn't mind the Chapters themselves too much. Endgame in particular reminds me of Thracia as the boss himself isn't hard to take down (he has a good skillset, but he's fragile and will be 2-3HKO'd by Corrin), but getting to him is a challenge as you want to move fast before reinforcements hound you at your back. I found that the best option for my team was to get Corrin to the bottom of the map as soon as possible as he can take down Takumi in 3 hits, though I did have Xander go in for back-up just in case it didn't go well for him.

I suppose it's time to say what i want to see in this Direct:
What i expect:
-More information on the upcoming amiibo, specifically Cloud's release date since i plan to get him later.
-More info about Star Fox Zero.
-Confirmation of Roy's amiibo beign compatible with Fates(if that happens it would give me a reason to buy Fates)
What i would like to see but not expecting:
-Paper Mario for Wii U with gameplay in the style of the first 2 games. Though i would be okay with gameplay similar of that of SPM. (as long as we keep away any Sticker Star crap)

There's this rumour about what will be in the Nintendo Direct. First off, it's fake. There's never been a Direct leak. However...Monster Hunter Generations x Fire Emblem is a REALLY interesting crossover.
I'd like to see that happen.

I feel the same, I could have probably beat it already if I didn't have to go through Chapter 27 again
I can get through it easily now though
I have Keaton and Xander(paired up with their wifes) kill the Ninja and Sorcere and send the rest of my units to each side
Using the stairs, you show up right next to the Merchant and Lancers, weaken the Lancers with ranged physical attacks before taking them down and get four units to block the Merchant and kill him
Killing the other enemies gets easy as they were all aggroed to the south section and take sometime to get back to you
Garon's True Form had a creepy but cool design but he was less threatening than he looks
****ing Corrin can tank hits from and she hasn't been known for that in my playthrough(I blame Takumi)
Waiting for my 3DS to charge so I can attempt Endgame again
