Official The Nintendo Direct 9/13/2017 Thread

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Welcome everyone to the NintenZone's Nintendo Direct Hosting Party.
This thread will be for all things 9/13/2017 Direct, hosted by us directly to you.

Rules: We realize things will be hectic especially during the Direct. As such, we'll be allowing a level of leniency in regards to a few things.
* You're allowed ONE hype image/post per page, images must be in spoilers to not clog up the page.
** Posting stills/videos from the Direct are fine, so those following from work/mobile can be caught up.
* Disappointment is fine, but do NOT flame other users or their opinions/joy.
** Conversely, don't "rub in salt" for those who are disappointed. Doing so will be infracted harsher than usual.
* This thread will be open 15 minutes before the Direct and will stay open for 24 hours AFTER the Direct ends, so please keep Direct posts (especially the spam related kind) to this thread only. The Social will be locked during the Direct so to avoid unnecessary spam in it.
* All other usual SmashBoards ToS apply. For questions regarding these rules, please contact Smashboards Staff.

I can't believe we're allowed one hype image per page. That's the most leniant I've seen threads like these go in a long time.

Anyway I'll only be able to watch the first half hour live. Such a shame too. Nintendo manages to put a direct on my week off and it's still when I have errands to run :/

Oh well, still hype!

 

[Opossum]

Awwww yeah, we got a hype thread.

Are there even any states in AEDT right now?

I'm certainly not and the Australian website gives AEST, which is 8am.

Never in all of my life have I desired to become a potato as much as today. Or an eggplant. Or a salad

Being in this thread is basically when your mum forces you to go outside
I wanna stay inside home but it's gonna be locked

Never in all of my life have I desired to become a potato as today. Or an eggplant. Or a salad

Meanwhile I hope to post a **** pic.

 

[Tikivoy]

TBH I didn't get that hyped for the direct, mostly because I was busy all week. Guess that means i'll enjoy their announcements better

 

[Radical Bones]

8am here in Melbourne.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Not really sure what to make of myself with these Directs now that Metroid has returned. Is it too early to announce another new game?

 

[Blargg888]

Are you ready?

It's almost time to begin... only one minute left!

6pm here, let's go!

 

[A Distant Demon]

Revisiting the old story based on the Ultra beast cutscene with Lusamine. This is more of a platinum/emerald than a sequel. 0 desire to buy anymore

 

[PLATINUM7]

Necrozma the body snatcher.

Purchase Gold/Silver and you get Celebi.

And new Ultra Beasts. Nice.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Okay. That 2DS is sexy.

 

[Knight Dude]

That Lycanroc Z-Move is a Rock version of Hellzone Grenade.

 

[Mythra]

New UB's is what I wanted, fam.

 

[PLATINUM7]

One of the headlines mentioned a puffball.

Sounds like that 3DS Kirby game will be revealed.

EDIT: Yep, Kirby Battle Royal.

Also, UFO gets my vote for favourite ability.

 

[Blargg888]

Wow, a 3D Kirby game!

Nice, I like it.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Why is Minecraft still popular?

I don't get it.

 

[A Distant Demon]

That's a lot of mario party

 

[Tikivoy]

I have wanted them to do a "best of" minigame collection with Mario Party since I was 9

 

[PLATINUM7]

Mario Party: Top 100

An actual Mario Party I might get?

Damn.

EDIT: Everyone from Metroid fans to Super Smash Bros. fans.

Don't even mention it if you're not revealing it.

 

[Knight Dude]

That Mario Party top 100 thing looks pretty good. I saw Pokey Pummel.

Also, Yo Ridley in Samus Returns.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Smash Bros fans
mentioned for Metroid

hint at a certain character.

????????

dont do this to me

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Okay. That orange 2DS is also sexy.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

And now my hand will hurt again. XD

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Smash Bros fans
mentioned for Metroid

hint at a certain character.

????????

dont do this to me

Don't you do it to yourself.

Remain calm.

Breathe. You know there will never be Smash. And certainly not Smash with a certain dragon.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I'm guessing the third spotlight title will be Odyssey.

Hoping the fourth will be a new title.

 

[Z25]

New pokemon mid gen is really surprising. The Wall looks sweet though.

Where are the Alolan forms though?

And 35 minutes of Switch content is awesome, especially with 3 spotlights.

 

[A Distant Demon]

XC2 has factions. Because the game decided it wanted me to like it even more. Stop Ninty


loving these trailers


oh god 6 persona parties. STOPPPPPPP

 

[Knight Dude]

A BLEETZBALL Blade is confirmed. Pretty neat.

 

[Blargg888]

I need to know what this XC2 music in the background is.

I love it.

 

[Mythra]

Yeah... I ****ing need a Switch.

 

[PLATINUM7]

OH LOOK AT THAT, XC2 ISN'T DELAYED.

In fact it's releasing earlier than I thought. I was expecting late December.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Holy ****ing **** that brella is fing huge

 

[Tree Gelbman]

LYNNNNNN.

You look so good, girl.

 

[Ivander]

DUN DUN DUN! She has been confirmed for FEWarriors.

 

[Mythra]

KONO LYN DA

 

[Blargg888]

WAIT WHAT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO "ONLY 3 GAMES"?

I mean... I'm not complaining... Not at all! However, I'm a bit confused.

Also, yay! More Snipperclips!

 

[Knight Dude]

Oh **** it's Lyn. Now I know FE fans are gonna be hype.

But y'all know we need Ike. AKA I Kill Everything.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Wow.

That's a strange ass shooter.

I like it. I'll give it a try.
