Nintendo today announced a new global edition of Nintendo Direct. The ‘Wii U Direct – Nintendo Games’ will be streamed from the Nintendo Direct website on 23rd January from 2pm GMT and sees Nintendo President Satoru Iwata take a look at future Wii U software and services from Nintendo.
Mr Iwata will reveal new games for #WiiU in a new #NintendoDirectEU at 2pm GMT on 23/01.
– Nintendo UK via Twitter
Oh shit… GTAV , watchdogs for the win and the wiiu virtual console revealed!!!!
Maybe.
I doubt GTA V and Watchdogs will be revealed on a Nintendo Direct.
As for the virtual console, that’s a possibility. We’ll see!
I even think there is almost no need to confirm watchdogs for wiiu.
why? i’ve seen next to nothing about the possibility of watchdogs on the wiiu. not that i think that it wont come to wii u, but i haven’t seen anything saying that it will be.
There were actually leaked documents of games coming soon, and before pokemon x-y were revealed, thedocument said that there would be a new pokemon game on the 3ds rendering full 3d engine. and it also said something about watch dogs 2 for the wiiu. this is gonna be a great year for gaming.
watchdogs 2?? wat. the first one hasn’t even come out yet lol
What happens before every Nintendo Direct or any E3/press event
“THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN”
Doesn’t
“Oh, well, NEXT TIME”
Like when people thought that ‘pokemon was coming to wii u’ rumor. And then everyone was dissapointed that it was just a 3ds game. xD Man that sucked.
People do it every year for E3.
“We will see X game, i GUARANTEE IT!”
Then it doesn’t, and they say “next time” or just act like they never said it.
I actually get dissapointed when a great game like pokemon didn’t come to wii u.
I prefer it on the 3DS if im honest and Game Freak thin the same way.
If they do a Pokemon WiiU it would only ever be a spin off with different gameplay, otherwise it would overshadow the portable main series.
I would not mind a Pokémon collection on wiiu that lets you cough Pokémon on wiiu and lets you transfer them to 3ds
Agreed. I jumped off that sinking ship, sold the Wii U. I guess I can’t blame Nintendo for me getting getting my hopes up. It could be that we just expect too much from them. Maybe they aren’t capable of what they were in the past. After a certain point people have to start admitting to themselves that the games that we know should be coming, that Nintendo knows should be coming…AREN’T coming.
They haven’t given any ‘tangible’ reason thus far to care about the system. This time next year will be a better time to own the system.
Don’t look at me, I’ve been pointing this out all the damn time.
And those people’s token response: “I can dream, can’t I?”
Yeah, cuz that makes your unrealistic aspirations make more sense. Right.
My Body is Reggie!!!!
souns like it’s almost Nintendo Direct time…. Wii U edition ;)
lol!
My reggie is…. iwata? O_O
Silly human dont you knew iwata is reggie in supersaiyan mode?
Agreed! My Sakurai is Myamoto!!!! ¬_¬
good luck with that
Don’t let your expectation too high, ’cause you’ll be disappointed if they doesn’t annouce any of these games.
Iwata said they’ll be announcing games developed by Nintendo, not other developers. So it could just be Virtual Console and something else.
Why isn’t Reggie doing this instead of the boring as hell Satoru. Even he would make a possible GTA5 announcement lack luster.
Hopefully it aint a let down
We’ll see. I’m not going to get my hopes up for any big reveals.
But it says new games and a gameplay video of bayo would implode the internet……….. again.
lol Yeah. That’s true, but I still won’t get my hopes up. If something big is revealed, then I’ll be pleasantly surprised. ;)
Poor dolphins viginas if that happens.xD
It’s a good thing to keep expectations low for a moment, Simply G. As much as I am excited about what’s to come for the Wii U, I’d rather keep things on the down low.
I personally think it’ll be the reveal of a 3d Mario game. Nintendo doesn’t have Those must own games yet and they haven’t announced any so far
We’ll see. Remember that this is a Nintendo EU conference. I’m 99% sure that we will see stuff NoA/NoJ already announced. We’ll probably see some MH3U footage and some other stuff. I hope to be proven wrong tho.
Agreed. I stopped getting my hopes up for Nintendo. I just don’t care anymore. If they release something good, great! I’ll just pick it up and be more than happy to play it, otherwise, I just don’t worry anymore.
They have forgotten my favorite franchises thus far. But it’s okay I guess, I just buy what I think it’s awesome, I won’t wait for X game or X thing to come anymore. :p
It’s probably gonna be more in-depth information about things we already know are coming. Nintendo is in dire need to drop a bombshell like right now, but they won’t because I honestly think they feel everything is perfectly fine and there is nothing wrong with their strategy. I would hope that things would be different for their sake, but I’ve grown to know better than that.
Sometimes I eat weiners when I’m lonely too.
not first.
Pikmin 3 release date or at least some new footage of it is what I’m looking for the most during this Nintendo Direct.
That would be good to hear. :)
seriously lol. i mean the game is supposedly a little over 2 months away, and we dont have a release date or new gameplay. weird.
Maybe there was a bug, or game breaking glitch, so they had to fix.
Don’t get your hopes up yet people. They usually don’t announce anything new on these things. They may just talk about upcoming games we already know about like Rayman Legends, Lego City etc.
Pokemon was a huge suces i think they may do something similar.
Upcoming games is still good. Especially the big game releases. Im not really expecting new game announcements until E3
Nintendo don’t really ever announce much at E3. If there’s anything you should look forward to is their independent announcements, usually before E3 or TGS. E3 for Nintendo is only really to show off those new announcements, not to make them.
What are you talking about? E3 is like the only place where Nintendo makes new announcements
Things are changing with Nintendo direct now. New super Mario bros 2 was a huge announcement as well as Pokemon x and y. E3 announcements are we’re it’s at though
NEW SUPER MARIO BROS U DLC PLEASE!
I bet this is an error. They won’t reveal anything new at all. They will be looking at Rayman Legends and Pikmin
Stop getting your hopes up, it’s just going to showcase games we already know about
Your name reminds me of omochao
Mr Iwata will reveal new games for #WiiU in a new #NintendoDirectEU at 2pm GMT on 23/01.
Pretty sure thats a tweet or something
The key word is ‘New games.’ Can’t wait to see the new games! But im gonna be at school…. -_-
Bros U dlc
Yoshi land
Virtual Console
Bayonetta 2 trailer
Pikmen 3 box art and trailer
FINGERS CROSSED FOR SONIC! MEGA MAN OR SMASH BROTHERS
Who are these Pikmen and where can I find them?
On the gardening section of your supermarket.
Oh man, Sonic xD
After Colours and Generations, i have some faith
Yoshi Island, i forgot about that.
smash bros is e3 quality to give some competition against Sony and Microsoft
Yeah your right. I can see Nintendo direct to reveal a character or just show smash bros gameplay
REVEAL-
Our third party characters shall be snake, sonic, mega man and pac man. We will also have free dlc in the future.
We also want to announce mega man x9 (or 11) exclusive to the Nintendo eshop.
That’s just an idea. Smash Bros. and Mega Man (and sometimes sonic) are the only series that give me fangasms)
New games? Say whaaaaaat!
Also, i just finished replaying Metroid: Other M.
Why is it not as bad as i remember? xD
Cause the baby grew up.
Hey, i’ve got a really good idea.
You come on the internet, you go on a site, and you DON’T be an immature prat.
I think i might cause a trend.
I dont think you cough your own the baby joke i meant the baby from metroid not you XD.
Ahh, i just thought it was a Other M related insult.
But yeah, i dont know, i just remember it being worse, but its pretty good.
The story isn’t half as bad as people make it out to be, the actually plot is actually pretty cool. yeah the scene with Ridley doesnt make sense after she killed him about 4-5 times, but other than that i think it was fine, her voice is meant to be monotone, she got raised by Chozo, she wouldnt act like a normal person.
Plus her reaction to Adam sacrificing herself was right in my opinion, he was basically he father figure.
Gameplay is a bit meh, id prefer to aim, and i spent to much time tap the dpad all the time to dodge so battles were easy, and those fucking parts where you’re fixed in first person are stupid
And visually in its design, some things just look out of place, and the music isnt as memorable.
In the end those, id say its a good game.
And you caunter me whit an desayuna :(
Darn phone ruining my joking moments.
the baby the baby the baby the metroid hatchling the baby
Cuz alcohol works in the same fashion. Eventually it starts to taste good, even though your body knows it’s still really bad for you. Stupidity always works in such an insidious fashion in order to mess you up.
Star Fox or I take a Landmaster to Iwata’s asshole. >.>
Fox, Falco or Wolf’s? ._.
I think they’d save that for e3 as they’d never release a franchise as popular as star fox on some website
Alba, Sickr, Unation, Nintenlord, NinteWard and I are waiting for the OS update. If Iwata announces more game mechanics of Pikmin 3, Rayman legends and maybe the virtual console, then horray for that :). What we really want is the OS firmware update.
Gamer on January 22, 2013 at 2:42 pm
PRINCE OF PERSIA ‘SANDS OF TIME’ is heads and shoulders above all the assassins creed and prince of Persia games that came after it. I shall even go on to say it is a better game in totality than Crysis 1,2 and 3. Definitely better than all Call of duty games, better than super Mario bros Wii, even Metroid other M. I am a nintendo Stewart and I admit to great games such as ‘SANDS OF TIME’ the othe greats are, super Mario bros 1,2 and 3. All legend of Zeldas, beyond good and evil, 13, monster hunter freedom unite, monster hunter tri, monster hunter 3 Ultimate, res4, NES ninja turtles, Mickey mania, Icicle works ( commodore ), treasure island ( commodore ), blood money ( Atari ), redsteel 2 ( too short ), Lego starwars, pokemon platinum and silver. Contra, bomberman, Pacman, megaman 2 etc.
Sands of Time wasn’t even that good. Warrior Within was better, but even then the games weren’t that good.
The reboot and Forgotten Sands were the best of that pretty decent series.
TheDragon234 PRINCE OF PERSIA SANDS OF TIME is a master piece. It had all the right amounts of game attributes. It also includes the original prince of Persia game hidden on level 40 if I remember correctly. Thanks for you reply. Remember without it Assains creed would never have existed :).
Meh, it was pretty good, but comabt was a bit derpy, and even the parkour had faults.
COME ON !!! ANNOUNCE RELEASE DATES FOR ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF ( NA UK AU GER URP ) ^^
But its a Wii U direct, not a 3ds direct….
You dont like dessert after a great meal :)
if they tell me when pikmin 3 comes out its possible I’ll explode from being to hype
Iwata shocks us and announces that Nintendo has bought SEGA. Now that would be beautiful news !
I don’t think I want Sega anymore they uhhh sorta lost their way
But there ips are solid.
Man I didn’t think of that…..dude that would be huge for them!!!
i know that but they sorta lost that sega charm and quality i dont know that be only my thought…
Just buy their IP’s like Sonic, Bayonetta, Shenmue, Yakuza, ect, we dont want their staff hahaha
Skies of arcadia and phantasy star also valkiria chronicles are amazing.. and dont forget panzer dragon and shining force.
I couldnt be bothered writing them all xD hence why i put ect
If sega rereleases sega Saturno games on 3ds i run and buy them.
Skies of fricken Arcadia man SKIEES OF ARCADIA ON THE WII U VIRTUAL CONSOLE NAO!
right they can keep the staff just buy sonic team lol
One if those games will be Crysis 3, I believe because of what the Crytech developer said. they said they would love to do it but they need someone to sale it…..and possible GTA 5….or the Yoshi game leaked
Fake.
If the announce Crysis3, Aeolus will be reborn. He shall be first inline on release day awaiting a copy lol. Great news that the PS4 shall be revealed after the xbox720. A better PS4 means gaming is thriving. Cause no one does greater software like nintendo; innovation is nintendo in a great lost Japanese dialect :).
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
Hoping for something actually new.
I bet half the games mentioned will be side scrollers. The rest will be games like croods prehistoric party. No way gta will be on the wiiu, because if it was it would be dumbed down. Maybe they will announce a sesame street rpg or a rainbow bright game! Then you can all cheer that more games are comming.
Maybe croods prehistoric party will be a trilogy thst Wil make the Sony and Microsoft fans jealous lol
Why they would be they are getting it too.
Double post , desperate
I don’t know why, but a Sesame Street RPG sounds like the greatest thing ever.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Xbox Kinect the one with the Sesame Street game?
*Mordecai & Rigby voice* “WOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHH”
lol
Ssb4 plis TT_TT
STARFOX PLEASE FOR GOD SAKE MR IWATA!!!!!! I NEED MY STARFOX FIX FOR THE WII U !!!
My wallet… Nintendo is hitting on it so hard this year ;n;
Just kidding! I think they won’t announce any super AAA title on this Nintendo Direct. Let those good games be announced at E3, where everyone of the videogame midia is watching! I hope Mr. Iwata says something about Bayonetta 2~
I think they have some big info to spare cause the Pokémon anouncement could have ben save for 3 and they shot the info earlier sugesting that they may be hidding bigger things.
Acid Ghost!!!
I want to believe…
Realisically though, I’m hoping for Bayonetta 2 gameplay footage.
No idea what new games might be mentioned. New franchises from Nintendo would be incredible, but quite possibly the least likely thing to happen.
Realistically* even.
Also, F ZERO!
Who wants a new Metroid Prime on the Wii U? Like this page :)
https://www.facebook.com/100000FansForMetroidPrime4OnWiiu?ref=hl
But Metroid Prime was finished..?
Yes, but it doesn’t mean a new game can’t pick up where the Prime series left off.
Did you not see the end of Metroid Prime 3 on 100%? A spaceship chases Samus’ ship at the end of the game, hence the story isn’t over. Youtube it.
Well they confirm Resident Evil Revelation on Wii U…
http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/45969/features/the-making-of-resident-evil-revelations/
Got the info from StreetPass Group NYC.
So maybe the Nintendo Direct will talk about that.
Its gonna be about the RE:REVELATIONS as its been confirmed for Wii U
I doubt it. Revelations is a multiplat, not an exclusive.
Good to hear. Keeping my expectations low for right now. However, announcing the release of the virtual market would be nice. In addition, an announcement of a game that we haven’t heard yet. Hopefully, they don’t waste our time by talking about games we already know. That would be truly disappointing. Fingers crossed!
I’m hoping for a Bayonetta 2 and Pikmin 3 release date along with new trailers. I also hope they announce an OS fix update.
hd gamecube vc. I really hope.
I’d love a Fire Emblem and Skies of Arcadia VC
mph2 for wii u please
Please Nintendo, make this one worthwhile. All the recent directs sucked.
#1. System wide chat/party system
#2. The achievment system they said would rival xbox/ps.
#3. Better notification on invites/messages.
#4. Aliens release date.
#5. Pikmin release date.
#6. Virtual Console.
#7. Me3 DLC.
#8. Crysis/Gta/Bioshock/Deadspace.
#9. SimCity.
#10. Civilization 5.
#11. Nhl 2013.
#12. Mario Kart.
This!
I hope for some Bayonetta 2 info and a big surprise. Maybe a SSB4 trailer as well. Better be good!!!
Nintendo website doesn’t say anything about new reveals, just “upcoming games” and “what the future holds for Wii U”.
Nintendo would be stupid not to tease anything for the second half of 2013, but then again they often are.
My Dream Nintendo E3 2013 (never gonna happen, these games are gonna come but not all in one e3)
3DS:
Pokémon X and Y
Zelda
Kirby
Donkey Kong
2D Metroid
éshop and 3rd Parties
Wii U:
3D Mario
Zelda
Metroid/Starfox Crossover (if done well by Retro it could be awesome)
Yoshi Land
Mario Kart U
Wii Sports U
Mii Shooting
Bayonetta 2
éshop and 3rd Parties
Both Coming to 3DS and Wii U:
Myamoto’s New Game (underwater setting)
Sequal to Xenoblade
Super Smash Bros 4 Trailer
BAMM Nintendo wins E3 2013
Now that I think about it, they COULD announce all this at E3 if they split 3DS and Wii U into two events again, and every game only talked about for 5 minutes (that would make the 3DS conference exactly 30 minutes and Wii U 1 hour) then just say look foward to learning a lot more about the games in upcoming nintendo directs. I think that would work.
Then again, I’m not going to get my hopes up :(
and then e3 2014 will focus on all of the games from e3 2013 that got delayed as well as minor ips/revival of retro ips

It’ll probably just be a bunch more stupid eShop announcements instead of hardcore retail games. I’ve given up hope for anything GOOD.
dragon quest 10 europe release idea and new wii u bundles please with loads more cool stuff as well
