Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has Tweeted that tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct presentation will be a little different from previous Nintendo Direct presentations. Iwata says that this Nintendo Direct will be about what kind of Wii U titles and services Nintendo is developing. The Nintendo Direct will be airing tomorrow January 23rd at 2pm GMT, and 6am PT.
“This time, the plan is a bit different from a regular Direct, in that I’ll be talking about what kind of Wii U titles and services Nintendo is developing.”
Thanks, Jake
oh ok then that means we get a taste of super mario universe and star fox sweet
If you believe in Nintendo, Nintendo will believe in you
Don’t believe in yourself, believe in Nintendo who believes in you
*I approve this message with Nintendo’s seal of quality!*
Nintendo believes I am getting money for selling under powered systems and shovelware.
They also believe you’re a selfish, spoiled, biased little fan-twat.
As do the rest of us.
You must be ugly as hell
May Nintendo be with you
Lol, my Star Wars ripoof quote sounds stupid xD Yours is way cooler :p
Well its dangerous to go alone. Take your 3DS/COMP
3dpo .
and maybe zelda.. perhaps metroid.. mario kart… all that stuff and more is possible
Really excited to hear what Nintendo will bring.
Cool man
Awesome.
The last few Nintendo Directs (besides Pokemon of course) were just reiterating Wii U or 3DS games in development.
Am I too positive if I think we will hear about eigher Zelda U or SSB4?
expectations are too high in my opinion. I really hope you are right though
Probably too high.. but THATS WHAT I AM HOPING FOR TOO!!! ^o^
I doubt we’ll get anything on SSB4. It’s not due out untill 2015.
2014 not 2015.
Hey, don’t loose hope! :) I’m hoping for the same exact thing! Pokemon X and Y was a bit of a shocker, and Sakurai DID say he was going to start on SSB4 after he was finished with Kid Iccarus: Uprising, so hopefully some footage of some sort, or even a trailer, could be ready at this point! If not, then big titles like this may be saved to announce at the E3 Presentation! :D
*lose
Smash bros is a mega money make and zelda always wins the audience over so I expect those two to be shown off at e3 with playable demos and also expect that one will be at the end of the conference as a surprise, if nintendo does this they will surely win e3 again, since Sony and Microsoft are going to announce there console sometime in may, and by e3 they’ll probably show the launch which won’t be that exciting but it will good… Beleive in nintendo as they always pull through :)
Whoa. Well that amps up the hype meter just a bit. Looks like I’m getting up at 8am CT tomorrow morning.
I’m in California, so Im gonna have to stay up until 3 AM O_o either that, or set an alarm lol
Oh wait, I thought it was 6 Eastern time lol nevermind ^^;
Nintendo Direct @ 9am Eeastern Standard Time. For anyone that is confused at this point.
*Eastern
I’m in Australia soso it start 3:00 I feel sorry for u :)
The miiverse list that got show by misstake is becoming more and more real.
:D
haha, no problem man.
Getting too much hype O_O
This could only be goo *spies a Nintendog* well at least it’s not *sees Miyamoto and a band of people getting ready to make some Music*
Pleaaaase not those.
Genuinely LOL’d.
LOL!!! I could visualize that perfectly!
I love Nintendo Direct :) And I can’t wait what’s in store or us tomarrow
Me too! It’s so fun to stay up late and aniticipate what’s in store :D well, late for me because I’m in California and it airs at 3 AM here ^^; So worth staying up though!
Interesting, since I’m in IL and it’s at 8am here. I think you converted the Japan one, and not the NA one, which is at 6am PST, or 6am in CA.
Yeah… I thought it said 6 Eastern time lol, my mistake ^^; Thanks! If I diddn’t double check, I would have been up at 3 for no reason lol
Mario Kart U pls.
NO
Absoloutly Yes. Just think Of Mario Kart with Wiiu graphics and physics and other features……. *drools*
Hopefully they don’t make it as bad as MK7, Mario Kart DS destroys it’s 3DS counterpart.
Whaaaaaa? MK7 destroys DS. No cheap snaking allowed.
Eh, I found it extremely slow paced :(
Both suck and are for babies. How can any play either try wipe out for a true game
Your tears taste great!!!
I liked it, i thoight some of the tracks werent as good as older ones but still good, and some of the characters were just dumb, like the Queen Bee, but they put Rosalina in so theyre forgiven xD
The problem i had was yet again, items being unbalanced and the blue fucking shell -.-
Like…i get it, if you’re playing with people who arent as experienced, that sort of thing help, because it keep it at a fair level, thats okay. But in a single player race, i should win because im good, not because im lucky -.- otherwise i though it was really good, online was good too.
But I sometimes play with Queen Bee (Just for the lulz and how her voice sounds like she’s trolling)
I understand all your complaints and they are genuine. But still it’s just a really frenetic game and you can easily get 50 Hours+ of online play out of MK7 and the local multiplayer is excellent.
You can turn blue shells off in the community that you have to set up or join , but in the next mario kart they should have a mode where the blue shell is just switched off but everything else is the same.
In fact Instead of giving us item customization for online races , they should just pre set about different race modes , eg : Classic mode , No blue shell mode , Banana mode , No item mode , Green shell mode , Star mode etc etc etc… That would kick ass and regardless of what mode you play on , you have the same VR points for all modes..
I really miss the battle mode were you had 50 levels with different obstactactle, mario kart 7 felt really rushed I mean it didn’t even have vs so I had to play coarses in order
We all have opinions but I felt MK7 was awesome , slightly flawed , but awesome. A must have killer app for 3DS imo…
Mk7 is a good game I just think we need nothing but new courses instead of half of them being retro but that’s just me. Racing underwater does feel too slow though and the item balance is odd
Yes I agree Mario Kart for Wii U will be awesome. But I think I could wait a couple of years for it. We just got MK7 not too long ago and I would like to see Nintendo focus on making franchises rather than just churning out the old favourites as quickly as possible.
Indeed sir.
YES!
About time wii u underdog pulls in the inside and under takes show these haters fucking retard trolls
I think this will probably be mentioning system updates which add services such as a VC and stuff. I doubt they’ll mention full retail software, albeit Resident Evil: Revelations and possibly a few third-party titles whose Wii U versions haven’t been announced yet.
man ima haft to take sum pms just to sleep tonight what bout u guys
Pre-menstrual syndrome?
Whatever elo you sleep at night
*helps
lol
OH, This is going to be an interesting Nintendo Direct of them all.
Can’t wait to see what we will be getting out of this one. (Hoping for stuff like a potential EarthBound HD Collection, a new Metroid , that Yoshi Land game , a Pokemon HD like game in the style of XD, 3D Mario game in HD , and Super Smash Bros Universe just to name a few)
Decent third party titles pls :D
but it is about Nintendo titles this time? I thought that was why it was “diferent” from the other N.D. Could be wrong though.
Woops, I didn’t read that part x3 My bad
More third-parties titles would be nice though. Nintendo cannot afford to go through another drought of AAA third-party titles like they did with the Wii. The launch lineup was decent and Rayman Legends looks amazing, but Nintendo is going to have to do a lot more to convince me that developers besides themselves are going to be invested in the Wii U long term.
Original IP third party titles please!
Lol star fox pls
Your right that would be sweet
Meh. Not to be rude but I really don’t see why so many people are clamoring for a new Star Fox.
The series decent but Nintendo has so many forgotten franchises that deserve a reboot far more than Star Fox.
The only Nintendo franchises I could say deserve reboots would be Mother (Earthbound), Star Fox, and F-Zero, IMO.
Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother!
That needs a reboot the most!
Thats very true but we have been waiting for a star fox 64 sequel for years. Miyamoto can do it again. The gamepad would be perfect for it especially having the characters talk on the gamepad or display the cockpit on it and the tv displays the arwing.
Kirbybrawl you da man!
Sooo… Bayonetta 2 right?
New games according to Nintendo UK http://mynintendonews.com/2013/01/22/wii-u-nintendo-direct-to-air-tomorrow/
Awww.. I was hoping for a new trailer to get me excited. -__-
Possibly :D It sounds like they may be revealing some title as well. Fingers crossed!
some new titles*
Looks like I shall be staying up til 3:00 yet again tonight :D
Wii U Virtual Console announced with 2 gamecube titles confirmed for it, hopefully SSBM and Wind Waker, and for upcoming titles, I call Mario Kart U and Animal Crossing for the 1st party exclusives, more talk on Bayonetta 2, and for 3rd party GTA V and Watch Dogs. For miscellaneous stuff, I predict a better OS and a TVii patch that fixes alot of bugs and maybe some talk on 3D capability with the gamepad
Also to add what I said, something huge like the next new Smash Bros, 3D Mario, or 3D Zelda will likely not be announced until E3
All that sounds pretty good! I’m personally hoping for some footage of the new Smash Bros :D Or just something related to it! I:D I’d love a new Zelda too, but if that was the case, it would probably be something either saved for E3, or not ready yet ^^; Who knows, though! Pokemon X and Y was a bit of a surprise!
Why would they announce Animal Crossing for the Wii U? That game is most likely not even in development yet.
I’m hoping for mainly Super Mario Sunshine and Paper Mario 2
My god I love those games
and Mario Kart Double Dash
They will likely announce the wiiu is being discontinued and all their games are stopping development becaus,e Sony and Microsoft don’t allow shovelware on their systems.

U IMPOSTER!!!
LOL I knew somebody would do that eventually xD
-__- Your lack of wit makes me make the “slanted eyes face” at you.
You’re chunky, admit it.
lol. your comment it so absurdly untrue that it’s funny knowing how much of a retard you might be….
You did not got the joke right?
You bitch go suck suck sonic’s.. I mean sony’s Dick!
I bet we see 20 minutes on Wii Fit U and nothing else
It helps keep our women stay fit, unlike the fatties that play 360 and PS. Everyone knows Nintendo’s female fans are the sexiest.
Lol.
lmao
Hmmm…this is ether a warning not to get your hopes up, or it is saying they will announce new games…
I will still have low expectations so that later tomorrow I will be satisfied :)
Revealing Zelda/Metroid/Starfox in a Nintendo Direct would be foolish, Better save the big guns for E3.
I think revealing a new 3D mario, wario, yoshi, and even a new f-zero game would be a very good thing indeed.
Or somehting like MArio Party 10 with online and all kinds of crazy new stuff.
Just imagine mario party 7 on wii u…so many ways to play…
Mario Party 10 I mean…
Nintendo sees sales slipping. Bring out the big guns Iwata.
Or he’ll just talk about panorama view, street maps, Everybody Votes 2 and virtual console.
ew… Everybody Votes. Brings back memories of… wasted time -__-
Did anyone ever use it? I have friends that have the Wii and they didn’t even know it existed because they always go straight to the games they have.
Unfortunatley I ised to use it a lot, then I realized.. WHY!? lol!
Remember when the dude claimed that there will be a Nintendo Direct about Super Smash Bros 4 on January 31, along other things? I seriouslly doubt that Nintendo would show 3 Nintendo Directs in 1 month, further proving that the rumor is made up.
…not that I believed it anyways. Way to early for SSB4, I expect just a teaser trailer E3 2013, then E3 2014 and 2015 will actually go in-deph of the game, with a holiday 2015 release.
As long as the game isn’t rushed.
Nintendo has done a bunch of N.D in the same month before. They announce when they WANT to announce not because they havent has one in a while or its too soon to do another.
Oh well, who knows
Nintendo is aiming for a 2014 release date for SSBU on Wii U. You forget Namco Bandai is assisting so with more people jobs can be divided up more there for speeding up development time. I still say the 3DS version could come out this holiday season.
I never thought about the 3ds version releasing earlier. I wouldn’t mind that but if Nintendo releases its Japanese version Like 3 months before releasing to the states I’ll import it or see if a region lock is lifted with home brew by that time
Its not early for smash bros because the n64 version to melee was just two years apart and that game has so much content and It came out a few days after the GameCube launched in the states. Brawl launched 5 years ago and the wii u version will most likely be using the same engine as brawl just with balance changes and new characters.
I think what “Amy” meant was “They will likely announce the wiiu is getting more epic and all their games are having more development becaus,e Sony and Microsoft allows shovelware on their systems AKA Kinect Adventures and whatever they made for the Move”
This is like… wishful thinking on crack…. BUT what if Nintendo annonced a brand new, tottaly epic, IP????!!!!????!!!!! Yeah, I know its really unlikely, but just imagine it!!!! That would be SOOO cool! :D
One Can Dream Right!!!?
Indeed!
Unless Nintendo announce a new IP or drastically change one of there other IP’s (Or if they show off smash bros), what they have to make won’t interest me in the slightest.
Nobody cares about your opinion…
And I should care because ….?
Just bringing it to your attention is all.
Cool. Still could not care less and never will care.
I understand.
Tri-pod, Jellybean was just giving his opinion. Why did you give him a reply like that? Butthurt because he doesn’t support Nintendo 110% and is open minded enough to criticize them for their short comings? Some of you Nintendo fanboys disgust me.
Nobody cares about your opinion…
Eh, Tri-Pods fine, I’m just happy he isn’t like the rest of the fanboys and start throwing immature insults around and then telling me to get cancer and die. I’ll give Tri-Pod credit that he said maturely and respectfully.
I agree, I’ve seen comments much worse than his. I just don’t understand why some of these idiots feel the need to bash every comment that isn’t completely pro-Nintendo.
Sadly, gotta agree with you there Jellybean.
Theres nothing wrong with stating your opinion if its not based on something immature or vulgar. And I’m mainly hoping for Smash Brothers, but I would love for Nintendo to surprise me again like they did with Pokemon X and Y :D
Are you implying my statement was immature & vulgar?
I think she was defending you.
Really? My apologies to Amaya then. I think I need to get my morning coffee, pronto.
I don’t attempt anything complicated before my morning coffee.
You mean Miyamotos new IP?
Pingback: La Nintendo Direct de mañana durará 30 minutos. Iwata comenta que será algo diferente a las vistas hasta ahora | www.nextn.net
How about what retro studios is working on?
The hype is growing so quickly………
Yes! I want a new Star Fox or F-Zero from retro studios.
Now im really excited for the nintendo direct.
A space Sim. Star Fox would be great. Or a new strategy ip, like Civ.
I don’t know why but Wii U directs tends to generate more views and opinions than the 3DS. Guess because the 3DS is dominating since it’s release, while the Wii U is still new and exciting and people want to see the potential, which it does have indeed. This is why the Gamepad is no way a gimmick compared to the Wiimote, in fact the gamepad is a innovation of something that no other video game company has done, which I hope that it does not get copied by Microsoft or Sony.
Xbox and PS are just Nintendo variations, of course it will be copied.
>Thinks Nintendo has never copied someone
Dude. EVERYONE copies.
There is a trend though, when it comes to Nintendo’s competitors and Nintendo’s new home console features, that’s all.
Nintendo variations? Get real kid. Sony and Microsoft do not simply “copy” Nintendo’s products. They may borrow ideas from other companies, Nintendo being one of them.
Nobody cares about you opinion…
*your
and stop saying that
People want to express their opinions
With that being said, I’m hoping this ND will have info on Yoshi Land, Miiverse for 3DS, Smash Bros, and if the planets align in the 6th hour of middle earth
an F-Zero game
Sony and Microsoft both have a patent for a tablet controller. Sony said no more dual shock controller. Sony will copy the gamepad. It will be the PSpad. Microsoft has there version to Valve was using it. Watch them call it the Xpad lol.
Lol sure they will. Got hard evidence that will happen? Or are you just going by that rumour you heard on the internet?
Its fact that both Sony and Microsoft have a patent for a tablet like controller. As for the whole Xpad and PSpad names that was me making shit up and joking. But it is also fact Microsoft has one. There is a picture a guy at Valve took where you could see a guy working at his desk with a tablet like controller but it had the orange and green XBL colors.
They have THOUSANDS of patents. Doesn’t mean they’ll use them. Pro tip, don’t read any rumours on the internet, you’ll end up probably believing them.
A photo is proof. As for Sony…history speaks for itself. As for rumors I am great at seeing which are bullshit and what ones are real. Like I said prior I’m wrong once per generation when it comes to Nintendo. But yah I could be utterly wrong about Sony and Microsoft. But we will see in time. One of us will be right and one will be wrong we can agree on that.

Steambox will pretty much kill off Microsoft, it will cut them in two the only people who will have an XBox will be some casuals and people who play COD and Madden. Sony will have Japan to fall back on and will still have presence in the US community but Pc Gamers will be less reluctant. Only console to be had will be Wii U.
Playstation will probably copy Nintendo but they rarely improve anything, Dual shock is lame and control sticks are always more accurate on Nintendo consoles. PS Move also pales in comparison to the Wii Mote case in point being the port of Goldeneye 007
I don’t believe Steambox will kill of Microsoft. I believe it will more so impact PC gaming if anything.
Most likely, although i know Gabe would love to ruin Microsoft xD
I never got into PC gaming because of the way it was designed, i like to just buy a console, and thats that, i just buy games and play them, i prefer that, rather than, having your GPU and CPU work together, having X amount of cores, what about fans, ect ect. Felt too much of a hassle and money. Plus PC exclusives dont really interest me.
Y’know, Sony is pretty big in Europe too.
That’s the most asinine comment I’ve seen in a while.
It’s a quote from a statement that was made by a poster earlier. There is truth to an extent in it. Not as asnine as Amy, Aeolus, Bill or the other troll academy graduates.
Not as asinine, but still pretty asinine.
Hahaha , a paradox.
What time is it in my Land? (Germany) I suckt at the time things lol.
germany is +1 gmt so 3pm
Adventure Time!!!
finally.. after both the industry and the customers have practically begged nintendo to reveal some info about their upcoming titles so the platform has a little more to go for it they caved at last
The fact that Iwata has stated that this will be a little bit different from ‘regular directs’ increases my confidence that this is not a main direct, and we will still get the Direct for 3DS and Wii U in mid-late February.
Iwata could also be talking about the new IPs that Nintendo have in development. I hope they don’t show us too much though cause they’ll need to save some suspense for E3
they need to show something now and not just a tiny bit… a lot of people aren’t buying a wii u because they don’t know what it will have to offer.. in the UK it’s failing miserably, both software and hardware wise, while the 3ds is soaring sky high there
sure they can save some for e3, but it’s a long way off and holding back on details would seriously hurt wii U sales until then
Put PES13 and FIFA14 with all features and the UK will buy the Wii U like tickets for the 1966 world cup.
lol good one
It is failing in the UK cause people over there love their damn Soccer more then gaming itself. And when it comes to gaming the only want COD and FIFA. Put a exclusive FIFA game on the Wii U and boom there yah go.
doesn’t explain why the 3ds is faring so well tho…
besides fifa 13 has already been released on wii u
FIFA 13 isnt an exclusive and it was stated the Wii U version is almost exactly the same as FIFA 12. Why? I dont know. As for the 3DS…I dont know people there bought it during the off season lol.
why does it matter if it isn’t exclusive? it would still be a reason for a football fan to buy a wii U.. or are you telling me that every single football fan in the UK already owns either a ps3 or an xbox 360?
announce some upcoming nintendo titles, talk about their features, show a bit of gameplay (which, judging by nintendos reputation, will likely look gorgeous) give a rough estimate of when they’ll be ready and i’m sure even the brits will jump up and down in anticipation
they can still hold back on some details about these games for e3 presentations
and i’m sure by the time e3 is here they’ll have new games or features ready to be announced
Pingback: Wii U Games Nintendo Direct Tomorrow (1/23) - Page 3 - Nintendo 3DS Forums
I hope they reveal something GOOD this time. Like Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing on Wii U, more Pikmin 3 news, Smash Bros. news, SOMETHING. But I’m not getting my hopes up. Every time I do, I get let down.
While I don’t want to get my hopes up, i’m thinking whatever big title they announce will be the game Retro is working on. They seem to have had the most time to make a big game considering their last game was released in 2010.
Mario Galaxy people have had a lot of time as well. If both show up it will be a good year.
PLEASE by the glory of the lord let it be either a 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros or even Zelda… (wishful thinking)
3D Mario is very likely. Mario Kart ehhh fairly likely. Zelda and Smash Bros no chance in hell lol. Though I would love to see them.
if anything they will show off stuff that wont fit in e3,dont think retros project will show for a nintendo direct, probably be some big game from some other studios, to make lineup look a little stronger
Prepare for Iwata’s double-chop… direct to you!
_[|_(o_o)_|]_
maybe they’ll have news on the supposed “rumor” of Diddy Kong Racing Wii U that would be awesome!
I hope they announce an OS fix update and a couple of new games plus release dates for Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, and Pikmin 3.
So, a glimpse of the future, eh?
I hope they discuss stuff we don’t know about, or at the very least unreleased details of known titles, rather than just rehashing future stuff that we already know most of the details about.
if you dont “snake” in mk you suck at mk. its how you get speed… its a racing game.
It’s taken out of most MK’s for a damned good reason, whether you approve, or like it, or not.
Hm. I wonder what titles they’ll mention that are in development. Nice move Ninten
I would like to see a Flipnote Studio for 3DS and Wii U.
