Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Mine didn't :p OK, let me rephrase that... Guys! This is it! Every non-Ambassador European New 3DS comes pre-packaged with Flipnote 3D! BELIEVE! I will always be bitter about this... Edited January 13, 2015 by Glen-i Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 All aboard!!!! Here's hopping for much bomb droppage. Audio You can't beat a bit of pre-Nintendo Direct hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 13, 2015 All aboard!!!! Yeah, I'm getting way more hyped than I usually am for these things. And gifs like that are not helping. I've got a good feeling something great (At least, great for me) will come out of this. No idea why, just a gut feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 I'm not buying a ticket for the hype train though. I think we know what'll be shown. If there's some surprises in there that would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 We know from the Ambassador 3DS page that the RRP for the standard New 3DS is £155.99, so we'll probably see it in other shops for around £150 (hopefully a bit less, though!). I reckon £180 for the XL model though. I know they tend to do bundles with the XL, but I'd love a New 3DS with Majora faceplates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would make my decision to upgrade that much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every single Global Direct has brought at least one new game announcement. Even for the stuff we "know", it'll be new content about it. They won't just show the same old stuff as before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 Teaser at the end of the Direct for Retro Studios' WiiU project, will announce a playable version at E3. I hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I keep hoping for flipnote studio 3D! It still seems to be going strong in Japan. Releasing it together with the new 3DS would kind of make sense since it's already installed on the system in Japan... There are also a bit of rumors (from the bitblock guy) that they are going to show off Animal Crossing for WiiU. Apparently it was planned to be shown at last year's E3, but got shoved back until now. Animal Crossing Wii U Incoming?I’ve been hearing some rumblings about Animal Crossing Wii U possibly being teased in Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct. Figured I would pass this along to everyone, but keep in mind nothing is for sure. I do know though that it was meant to be shown at last year’s e3 but was pushed aside for more development time and because Nintendo already had a large group of games. I think Mp10 actually stepped in to take it’s place and was meant to be shown in 2015 for the first time. Hence why MP10 looked so early in development at e3… anyways stay tuned, should be exciting to matter what! A new 3ds release date should be a given, same goes for majora's mask.

Posted January 13, 2015 Cranky Kong spin-off? Hell yeah Haha, I would be gutted, same if it was another DKC... in fact, if it was any sort of platformer. I do want to know what they're working on though. I hope it's along the lines of the epicness of Metroid Prime! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 I can't imagine playing an AC game on a home console. I suppose it might shift a few Wii Us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 I can't imagine playing an AC game on a home console. I suppose it might shift a few Wii Us I find this an odd thing to say considering half of the games were released on home consoles. More if you count the Japan only N64 version.

Posted January 13, 2015 I normally wouldn't get excited by these things, they always disappoint me personally. However, having recently entered the Wii U scene, I'm interested in anything they show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 I find this an odd thing to say considering half of the games were released on home consoles.More if you count the Japan only N64 version. Bear in mind I've only played New Leaf. I just think Animal Crossing seems so much more suited to handhelds. Pick up and play at various points in the day, it's like having another life in your pocket. Personally I find I need to set aside time in the day to play on a console. With my 3DS I can play ten minutes or more whenever I want all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 I agree that AC is a much better fit for handhelds (particularly since it's pick up and play and never exactly pushes the hardware). Saying that, I think if they could make a really neat online focused home console game then it would rock. I'm thinking 8+ people, standalone servers (a la Minecraft PC), quick drops ins and outs, large maps and connected towns. Show the world you can do online!

Posted January 13, 2015 Thinking more about tomorrows Nintendo Direct, I think it could be good. The last 2 at the start of the year have been fairly good, last years more so. They'll want to start the year off with a bang. They have a lot of things to show and discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2015 I do really hope they announce a Majora's Mask special edition new 3ds XL AND Majora's Mask faceplates for the new 3DS, that way everyone gets a special edition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get your hopes up, they've said it will talk about Spring games, games you don't care about like Mario Maker, Yoshi, Kirby etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
