The daily Super Smash Bros screenshot is mega late on a day with a Nintendo Direct. Coincidence? I think not Scratch that Today's picture

If you are the most recent to pass it, you won't receive it. If you passed someone earlier and they're the last one at that spot, you won't receive it

I can see why they carried on the Wii name, it's just the way they did it. I still struggle to comprehend how people took the 2011 reveal as a "oh, I'm confused. Is it a new console?" when Reggie clearly stated it was

Emily Rogers tweeted earlier stating "Not related to Direct -- Wii U/3DS getting shared eShop balances soon. Add $$ to Wii U, shows up on 3DS. Add $$ to 3DS, shows up on Wii U." Responding to this was a developer from WayForward who stated it was true. One step closer

Rufus Hound on Doctor Who Live was just utterly cringeworthy though :p

Rufus Hound is a popular comedian in the UK, for one. They couldn't use menu examples from other games for a) Legal reasons and b) Risking damaging third party relations

For some inexplicable reason, the European site is lacking NFC details. As such, it makes me think we're not getting them, since the game is out next week

Clearly

Hence this very bad video

Well if people don't want gaming to be streamlined and better, then it's their loss :p

Only if it's exclusive :p

It's worthwhile enough for me to have shifted all my multiplatform pre-orders to the Wii U, so I'm happy :p

They better be :p My speculations Ace Attorney 5 localisation Wonderful 101 details - More to come on Kamiya Direct next week Wind Waker HD Date Wii Party U details & date Pokémon Rumble U stuff Pokémon XY 3DS XL bundle announcements Mario Golf details and date Some Zelda: A Link Between Worlds details, perhaps a date. Sega 3D Classics dated Summer Update: Boosts speed, new features detailed. Dated. Third party sizzle reel. Please understand. Ridiculous Idea: Surprise Announcement: Nintendo Paintball. A conglomeration of Nintendo franchise characters going around various themed levels playing Paintball...covering the online FPS hole :p

I'm talking in general, coming off of here and NeoGAF. People are actually implying Directs are worthless and never reveal anything. Then there are those with ridiculous demands like Pokémon Wii U, Metroid Prime 4 etc.

To be fair, the map and inventory aspect is brilliant. After playing Lego, Batman etc. I found it really offputting to play ACIII's DLC and having to pause to look at the map & set a waypoint, or to change the weapon. It may be small, it may be unimaginative, but it truly does improve gaming.

Oh Nintendo...

The cynicism of people in regards to Directs is sad

That's getting its own separate one in a week or two

My money is on the 22nd

Or the best one! I prefer levels that aren't just a couple of standard platforms. It makes it truly about skill

Sad thing is, some people on Miiverse think it's Minecraft -_-

Pilotwings stage revealed

Problem is, the majority of the games in the chart are multiformat and so count multiple SKUs on several consoles at once In the Individual Formats, it's #5 and that's what matters

Even though it's about time travel, they have still tried to keep things realistic in regards to attitudes, actions and so forth. In 2007, Freema Agyeman joined the cast as Martha Jones. Within that series, there were two episodes set in the past and they both had the characters from that time make reference; In "The Shakespeare Code", Martha herself referenced it, as did Shakespeare. Then, in Human Nature/Family of Blood, it's referenced again with people making fun of Martha for it, and talking down to her because of it. These are alright once in a while, but if it were to happen in every episode, either they ignore it which is massively disrespectful, or it becomes an issue in every episode which would be tiresome and would detract from the point of the show. It's really a tricky proposition. Personally, I'm not against it if they can find the right balance, and they hired the actor for his merits alone, not based on skin colour. Also, they have referenced the clothing warn in historical episodes on multiple occasions.

Hell, just a female one in 1600-1800s America would too. The Doctor comes in to save the day. "She's a witch!". Pitchforks ensue
