Serebii

The term services is clearly in reference to the Wii U Virtual Console, and possibly Google Maps

TVii is out in Japan and America so no Some of the speculation I'm seeing around the net is ridiculous. Despite being confirmed to be Wii U and first party only, I keep seeing people say "Miiverse on 3DS. More NSMB2 DLC. I want <InsertThirdPartyGame>"

I liked Mario Kart 7

Clearly going to be Pokédex U

For the most part, yeah. Especially if they're using legacy franchises

Never stopped people before :p

God I hope so, just to watch the internet explode

It won't be. It's confirmed that this will be Wii U. It's confirmed Iwata will reveal new games It's now confirmed that it's first party only. Prepare for the megaton

Confirmed, the Nintendo Direct is FIRST PARTY ONLY

That is annoyingly probable, yes Official tweet that announced it clearly states Iwata is revealing new games

They did specifically say Iwata will reveal new games though so those three don't exactly fall into that catalogue, but I'd be surprise if at least one didn't get a date

This just came up on the American FB Notice it says Nintendo games. Could be a sign that this is entirely first party

Willing to bet at least 5 minutes of this will be taken up with Resident Evil Revelations

On Wii U, 360 and PS3

How is that revealing new games when they're already revealed?

That was a special one though

To show new games! 2pm GMT - 11pm JST http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/direct20130123/index.html http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html

One word for you: Threesome

Thing is, the Wii U launch is the only time I've heard of official bundles being counted in charts

I think you're misinterpreting bundles. Official bundles with games in tend not to count towards it if I recall correctly. Bundles in stores, however, do. Say that GAME are selling a Premium Set but with Zombi U as well in a bundle. The ZombiU will go towards the sales, NintendoLand would not

Patience youngling. These things take time People are less inclined to buy new consoles in the few weeks after Christmas, especially if the console is not discounted.

I HATE spending money. Even when it's necessary. I'm a massive saver and have got substantial savings at the moment. Most of that is due to still living at home, and only buying stuff when it's really necessary.

10 years is a bit extreme

To be fair, they've said that it's one per console so it's unlikely we'll see any others for a while I don't get the Zelda complaint. They aren't exactly common so they don't suffer from franchise fatigue. There was 5 years between TP and Skyward Sword. Yeah, there were two DS games in between (and a remake but that's irrelevant), but they were very different
