Ike Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Excellent ND once again, imo. Mario heavy again, but WeeGee's Mansion 2 and Mario & Green 'Stache look great. So do Mario and Donkey Kong. Looking forward to downloading Super Luigi U as well. Got dates for Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem as well as the Limited Edition XL which I prefer over the original 3DS and confirmation of Etrian Odyssey IV. 3DS has suddenly gone from no RPG's to a load of them. Bit disappointed the DK game is just a port of DKCR, but whatever. But hang on a sec... ...no HarmoKnight? What the hell, not even a mention!? Worrying. Noticed this as well, just hope it's because it's out soon-ish. Edited February 14, 2013 by Ike
Londragon Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I would try to summarise all that, but it was just too much. Game after game after game, and when I thought it was all over another two. Awesome.
not_so_tiny Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Well that was excellent. Nice to get some release dates and some new great looking games. Nintendo in panic mode are the best.
RedShell Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I've just realised about Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D that they'll have to include a different way of rolling and blowing than having to swing the Wii Remote so it may be worth picking up Yeah, shaking the 3DS probably.
Guy Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Even if the Wii U remains dead, at least the 3DS is gonna have plenty of fun software throughout the next few months to keep Nintendo gamers occupied.
markderoos Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I've just realised about Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D that they'll have to include a different way of rolling and blowing than having to swing the Wii Remote so it may be worth picking up Rolling by tilting and blowing by blowing? Yeah, I bet they're gonna improve it, NOT!
Hero-of-Time Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Best announcement for me was Etrian IV arriving over here. I never expected that, especially as the second and third ones didn't make it to Europe.

Is that not what matters in the end?
nekunando Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Rolling by tilting and blowing by blowing? Yeah, I bet they're gonna improve it, NOT! I actually forgot about the mic.. You'll definitely have to blow
yesteryeargames Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 If its justa 3d port thats kinda lazy, but it must mean retro are working on something extra special for wii u so cant all be bad
Ike Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 It may be Mario heavy, but they're all different kinds of games. Is that not what matters in the end? I agree, I know some people of tired of Mario but it doesn't bother me. I'm looking forward to all of them except for Mario Golf because I don't like golf. :P
Ronnie Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Must be great being able to print money with hardly any effort, or in Nintendo's case, making more NSMB levels
Murr Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Is there a summary anywhere of the conference and maybe a brief one of the US Conference, I was playing football at lunch and it just got back. Missed the conferences DOnkey Kong 3ds New Luigi U?? Fire Emblem Date? Animal Crossing Date? Mario & Luigi 3ds?? Mario Golf? anything else?
Londragon Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Wii Street U 'powered by Google' is available to download from the eShop right now. I'm excited about giving it a try.
Captain Falcon Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 It won't be more than £10 How on earth did you get to that figure? Iwata stated that it was akin to full on development for a new game and that it would take some time before it was ready. They already charge £2 for 3 levels in NSMB2 and given that he said "it will change the existing 80 plus courses into all new courses"... do you really think they will be charging £10 for what amounts to an entire new game?
Retro_Link Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 lol @36.31 (Nintendo are getting good at these... 'one last announcements!' :p)
Captain Falcon Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Is that Ninja Gaiden update there (22:45) the same stuff coming to the other releases later this year?
Ronnie Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 "The Year of Luigi" so basically, no 3D Mario game this year?
Retro_Link Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 "The Year of Luigi" so basically, no 3D Mario game this year?Well not exactly, they showed game that Luigi's was in alongside Mario, like M&L and Mario Golf. I wouldn't be surprised if Luigi featured very heavily in Mario Universe though, through an asymmetric co-op mode or something.
-Dem0- Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Nintendo Direct is on an absolute roll, the last three (inc. this one) have been amazing. Year of Luigi. I love it!
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Excellent Nintendo Direct. The ones after the release of Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing will be even better, I think it's time they were just released now. It's getting a bit boring have to hear more stuff about those 2.
ReZourceman Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I think I am no longer a Nintendo fanboy, which is kind of sad. I just found 95% of it so predictable. I cannot wait for Cross X Zone Project Amazing. Some of it looks cool, but its just...all not at all surprising.
khilafah Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Daigasso! Band Brothers on 3DS! hell yeah.. Cant wait for that to be released in Japan.
Dcubed Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I'm torn about this ND. On one hand, the unveil of M&L4 (which follows the patent leak to an absolutely creepy level!) Mario Golf 3DS and the not too distant release dates for FEA, ACNL and PKMN GTI is very welcome, but the unfortunate reveal of DKCR 3DS (REALLY!? THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE HAD RETRO WORK ON ALL THIS TIME!? WHAT A FRICKING WASTE! ) and the continued whoring out of Mario leaves me feeling sour over the whole thing So much for them not wanting to turn the 3DS into a Mario machine, and did we really need even more NSMB!? (granted, it's probably a result of the "Mario Cram School" off hours thing, but it's still far too early for even more NSMB. I'm not excited for it at all) I really hope that Retro just put a small team on this project. Granted, I did always think that the game fit the 3DS like a glove (literally I kept saying to myself that they should've made it for 3DS when I was playing it - it was mainly inspired by VB Wario Land after all!), but I think it's such a terrible waste of Retro's talents
