A number of you have sent in a thread by a Neogaf member from a site that claims to know the content of future Nintendo Direct presentations. I saw the information yesterday, but it looks highly suspect to me. Anyway, be sure to take this information with a grain of salt. We already know that the next few Nintendo Direct presentations will feature a whole host of titles for this holiday season and beyond. The games likely to be shown off include 3D Mario, Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker and Smash Bros. Here’s the rumours.

Obviously fake >_> It’s the time of the year bloggers and websites get dem easy hits again.
How is this fake? Ubisoft, Activison, Sega, Capcom and SE are one of the biggest supporters of the Wii U.
and 3DS.
Maybe not Square Enix, more like Atlus.
Activison..? No no no…. BO2 was a extremely crappy port on Wii U, horrible framerate, long loading times, no DLC, no extra camos, no extra game modes (like Arms Race) horrible patches with more bugs then fixes, its not the devs fault, its Activions fault for having a team of 4 with like 1/32 of the budget for Wii U
Wii U black ops 2 still scored higher than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions on GameRankings. It may be a port. But it’s not a crappy one. The lack of DLC is because we have a small ass community.
You mean small ass sales because even with the current base if activision sold have of it they would gave been very happy.
Half*
The small ass community is because people knew there would be a lack of DLC. If they released the DLC. People mighty actually think about buying the Wii U version next time since they would know it was coming.
Horible Framerate ? It’s butter smooth last time I played it.
The campaign has a few moments where is fucks up but even that is smooth for the most. And the Multiplayer and Zombies is just as smooth as it is anywhere else.
and dont forget namco bandai since their making a pacman game and co developing the next smash bros
True. Hope they are bringing a Tales Game to the Wii U.
don’t forget get Disney, WB Games, Namco and Atlus.
Well if it is its very well fabricated.
Seems pretty legit to me. I believe it. And even if it is fake, I expect the NintE3ndo Directs to be very much like what was stated in the article above. 💋
I agree. It’s believable to the point where it SHOULD be real, not because of fanboy daydreaming, but because it would be the only thing that would make sense.
Obviously fake. Shitendo never even make any thing good its all kiddy Mario nd happy pokemon lol have fun fags with gaytendo
And my icon looks like a ufo lol
Actually, it looks like there’s a dick slapping your face, not a UFO
haha lol ill give u that one
Really? Ignoring that SSBB was copied for All Stars. Also ignoring that Metroid is another Nintendo Game as well as Starfox and Pikmin which is too complicated for young kids to figure out.
Look why don’t you play your GAYSTATION and stay off nintendo sites
Why go and sink as low as him? It’s not like you’re any better if you’re saying thing’s like gaystation. Brand loyalty sucks, man.
Obvious troll is obvious.
I wanna see more of Monolith Soft’s game :o
Haha your icon is a dick toolol
Also mine looks like an ufo
Coming from a failed troll who don’t belong to a blog dedicated to Nintendo and it’s fans and supporters. Good day sir.
Im a fan I have Wii u but Nintendo still sucks
Bullshit! You’re nothing but a pretendo remedial. If you own a Wii U (which you don’t have), you shouldn’t be fucking hating the company. Respect the company who have made the system that you’ve bought and support the company.
in yo face muthertrucker
in the words of sonic prepare to eat those words
http://s1367.photobucket.com/user/tehJerry1/media/IMG_20130519_172436_zps71603da2.jpg.html?filters%5Buser%5D=135807690&filters%5Brecent%5D=1&filters%5BpublicOnly%5D=1&sort=1&o=2
Frankly, you’re nothing but a remedial excuse for a gamer… a poser. That link that you’ve posted indicates that I just don’t give a fuck. Good day sir.
how does it it proves a have wii u AND 3ds im a gamer just dont like crappytendo that much
You’re still a pretendo, retard and you’re still underestimating Nintendo, its franchise games, and its innovation. You still lose.
lol i like how i counter youre argument then your like “yeah it doesnt matter anyway!” lol
You’re still fucking pathetic. Begins with a “lol”… and ends with a “lol”… like an asshurt troll that you are. Quit wasting your fucking time and move on. If you don’t like Nintendo, why the fuck are you buying their systems? It’s over, Gerald… and you still lose. iAdios, carbon!
aha yeah “yeah well youre pathetic anyway!” nice comeback dumbass i buy a 3ds becos i like some of the games nd i got my bros wii u for monster hunter
also for the 2nd fuckin time, its JEREMY!
Then don’t underestimate Nintendo and move the fuck on, moron. Give it a rest, will ya? This debate is now over. And I said good day!
i said good day sir! willy wonka lol
So you borrowed a system from someone to use as proof.
Good going. Troll harder.
The time was n the fuckin paper how did I borrow one tthat quick srsly accept I actually hve a Wii u I’m not that desprate for some guy on the intenrt to believe me
Sorry bro but thatspretty desperate defence isnt it possible i have a wiiu but dont raelly enjoy it and that 3DS got hours of use age n MUTHERTRUCKIN fire emblem! Best nntendo series
nd my lil brother bought it but eh cant take it to uni so he left it with me till he’s done.
but honestly mario nd pokemon r shit but Monster Hunter is the shit
You’re underestimating two of Nintendo’s franchise. The Super Mario Bros. and Pokémon series sell millions of dollars worldwide ever since day one.
not understimating them at all i dont like em but obviously i know they sell good
You’re fucking pathetic, Gerald.
actually, its jeremy, but nice try dumbass
Stop that…
Leave him be, I mean, it’s his oppinion. Why don’t you go tell some crack addict to stop smoking crack instead? That would be a better thing.
Besides that picture he sent of his WiiU and 3DS was hilarious, he’s obviously joking around, else he wouldn’t have bought a WiiU. I mean, I didn’t, I’m still waiting to get one.
Ikr I made the photobuckey account specially
Your little brother bought it??? Stop exposing your self kid and go back to the facebook loser that suposely loved his mother.
ok what? like honestly wat are you even saying?
just ignore him dude
When next month comes, MonolithSoft will reveal more details on X.
I too am really looking forward to it. I need Xenoblade’s sequel!
That’s a lot of Iwata Asks
It’s not really that many and if this is valid it would be a great way for Nintendo to let people know that 1st and 3rd party devs, at least not all of them, haven’t lost complete faith in the Wii U. Iwata asks is a great opportunity for developers to be engaged in a casual enough interview to give us honest opinions instead of mostly corporate jargon. If the iwata asks with activision, actually happens that would be brilliant, but I feel that the majority of this will be debunked in the very near future. I do really hope they show more from X(enoblade 2) at E3, but I doubt we have any hint at a release date for a few of these titles.
So much to take in, can’t wait for Nintendo’s E3.
hmm seems likely
seems like a lot of nintendo directs…they could just do one big one for wii u and one big one for 3DS
Yeah but by spreading it out they’ll dominate over Microsoft and Sony’s presentations, because theirs will seem so small. 💋
they are not the owners of the 3D, sop, they cant take all the time they want to make a “big one” for each one..
I only think there will be five
1-Outline of Schedule of Events and the Best Buy Deal (Pre-E3 Direct)
2-Social Software Direct (Wii U summer system update, Miiverse 3DS, Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, Wii Sports U, Flipnote Studio 3D, eshop stuff)
3-Wii U Software Showcase (3d mario, mario kart x sonic racing, wind waker hd, x, bayoneta 2, yoshi, retro’s game, miyamoto’s new ip, third parties)
4-3DS Software Showcase (mario luigi dream team, zelda link to the past 2, mario party, yoshi island, layton, pokemon, third parties)
5-Recap (a recap of the announcements made, and at the end there will be a surprise smash bros trailer for wii u/3ds)
This would be cool but I don’t think its legit :/
Whether if it’s a rumor or not, Nintendo will most DEFINITELY dominate E3… especially playing unfinished demos at the nearest Best Buy in the United States and Canada!
Yeah… Lucky yanks.
I know right :/ i wana play the new Mario game Dx
Lol no one wants to play Wii u ever I have one its shit
Also my icon looks like a ufo lol
Your icon look like a small penis with two small testicles.
omg it does haha lol didn’t even see that
Maybe its a dick becaue I’m on a gaytendo site so everything is dicks
No maybe you are one for making your non funny jokes.
Jerry if you hate Nintendo why are you the dumb ass buying Nintendo consoles just for 3rd party?
Awwww look, another troll with no life who stays on our forums instead of his own… phony’s or microshit’s… welcome douchbag, and enjoy a real company… Nintendo owns you tweezer pipi cheese suckers…
Can’t tell if sarcasm…?
No sarcasm at all… they mean business.
I thought you was talking about the Wii U E3 demos at Best Buy.
Just the fact that you specified “unfinished” demos made it sound like you were being sarcastic. Shame we never get anything like that here in England :(
You are getting games earlier than us isnt that not good?
*jizzzzzz*
This seems quite legit. There’s nothing too Farfetch’d there!
I was thinking te dane thing. 💋
*the same 💋
Honestly, this sounds very, very promising. It is exactly what I expected out of Nintendo during E3 this year. All I can say is, I hope that Super Smash Oriented Nintedo Direct is true on June 12!!!! I am itching for some SSB4 news! Nintendo with it’s multiple NintE3ndo Directs will completely overshadow Microsoft and Sony’s E3. I can just feel it in my blood. 💋
I don’t know about that, because no matter how big your announcements are, no matter what games you reveal, you’ll never overshadow the unveiling of one, let alone TWO new consoles.
Two new consoles that cost between $499.99 and $599.99 US.
New consoles 100$ or 1000$ , you just can’t simply overshadow new consoles .
Right there with you on the Smash Bros thing. They very offhandedly mentioned the new one at E3 2011, and there’s been next to nothing on it since. I’ve been dying for news on my second-favorite series for the last two years! The idea of a whole Nintendo Direct dedicated to it has me hoping that this list is the real deal.
Okay, so Brawl began development in October of 2005, and came out in Japan in January of 2008. So that’s a little over two years. This one began work over a year ago. Given that this time around they’re working with a much bigger development team with plenty of experience in fighting games, and that they apparently already had a promising prototype of the game engine shortly after E3 2012, I don’t think it’s too unreasonable to put Sm4sh on my Christmas list this year – maybe not a guarantee, but I see it as a distinct possibility.
I agree. I can totally see Smash Bros. 4 comin out by Christmas the earliest, late Spring the latest. So EXCITED! 💋
Posted this in previous post, but obviously more people will see it here. This is my email to Nintendo regarding the recent Youtube claiming.
It covers everything, and i feel everyone here should do the same (dont copy and paste), the email explains why, take a look, it’s worth a read (sorry for spelling and grammar mistakes, i’m only human, not perfect):
I’m writing this email in regards to your recent decision to claim as revenue on other people’s Youtube channel, such as Let Play’s, Walkthrough’s ect.
While i understand your decision to do this, and i agree from a legal stand point that it is within your right to do so, and any channel or videos affected were posted and were collecting as revenue were under the assumption that at any given time the video could be claimed or taken down, and to do so would be under their own risk, i feel this decision has and will continue to create a much larger negative effect not only on your image as a company, but as a produce of content.
I myself am not a Youtuber, and have never posted a video of any form. I also don’t watch many let’s players, but when i do, i do so as form of entertainment, or information, such channels such as chuggaconroy play your games, and expresses his love for them, and it entertaining to watch as a form of commentary, over the gameplay. I also regularly watch videos on the channel GameXplain, where videos from gameplay analysis, reviews, walkthroughs, are posted. In particular as a fan of your content, i’m always eager to get my hands on it once it comes out, but as you may guess, waiting is a little harder than we’d all like, so i watch these videos as a way to “quench my appetite” as i wait for the release date, as well as get general information and speculations about the games, and i’m not alone in this opinion.
It’s for this reason that i hope you reconsider your decision, or find a way that is beneficial to both yourself as a company and business, as well as the people that promote your business and up coming games out of the sole intention that they’re avid fans of your work. The public reaction to this has been extremely negative, and i suspect if not corrected, would directly affect your game sales. It’s reached a point where just reading comments, i’ve seen people say that they would refuse to purchase your content anymore, or go as far as boycotting, even though they have no legal upper ground to do so, and as an affect, i believe the image you were attempting to keep has only caused a mass amount of negativity, which is very bad considering how close we are to E3, the launch of 2 new systems for Sony and Microsoft, and with the currently poor sales of the WiiU.
My suggest would be, aside from completely ceasing to claim revenues on videos, to either share the profits, or create a partnership with channels in order to still control your content, that’ll allow people to upload their videos, as well as have them appear on your channel, but also allow them to receive some, or all the as revenue on their own channels, so that they can continue to do what they, as some people have reached a point where they do this for a living, and cutting off their money means unfortunately, they’re loosing their jobs.
I find that solution would be highly effective and beneficial to you and those people, and anyone else who you choose to partner with, which i feel is very important not only to the image of your company, but also the success of it, and in an ever changing world of media and connectivity, being on board with this puts you in a very powerful position, and a very likeable one.
Thank you for taking your time to read this, and i hope for the sake of your company, the people who upload videos, and for myself and other fans who want you to succeed and continue to bring us amazing content, that you truly consider the options i suggested, and i suspect other people have as well, thank you, and i look forward to your E3 Nintendo Directs in the coming weeks
If you bothered to read it, and feel the same, contact Nintendo. I feel both sides have their arguments, and it legally Nintendo is right, but obviously, it wasn’t a well thought out decision, and we as the fan should be honest enough to admit when a company does something wrong, and be a part of telling them that, it’s something Nintendo have a unique part of them, that the fans are their business, and the reason they make the content they love to make.
Youd be surprised that a lets play video doesnt really help sales most people use them as guides though, so I am okay with nintendos decision, its completely legal, and they were nice enough to dont take down the videos. Pleas stop this nonsense
Let’s plays don’t help sales? You have got to be kidding… And this doesn’t JUST for let’s plays. It also goes for Trailers,Gameplay,Guids and even videos with Nintendo characters in it. This is a really dumb move and I don’t see benifiting nintendo in the slightest.
They did not mention trailers or reviews just lets play of certain time retard.
its anything with nintendo content in it
No idiot but thanks for confirming my though about you.
Ignoring that Sony and Microsoft offers Let’s Play at retailers but only Nintendo is the retard.
I’m not arguing that they were allowed to do it.
And those people are only part of the percentage, people DO watch them as entertainment, and alot of good Lets Plays, in particular the Nintendo focused ones, play games from past, like Super Metroid, Mario 64, Zelda, Pokemon, those games dont need walkthroughs, theyve been out, money has already been made, the channel is doing it for entertainment, and for the people who enjoy the videos.
The other side is people who post informative videos. Go and look at th channel GameXplain, the videos there are the Let Play kind, and rather, they’re very news like, with gameplay/trailer analysis, speculations, reviews, and yes, walkthroughs. It’s an informative media.
I agree those who just upload full unedited game walkthroughs of every release, can go suck a dick, they’re just money baiting, the sort of people that are like “like, comment, subscribe” or say “if this reaches x amount of likes, or views, i’ll upload the next part”, those people can suck a fat one, and are the ones complaining, solely because of money.
Chuggaaconroy’s LP of Kirby’s Epic Yarn begs to differ. Since he LPed that game, Kirby’s Epic Yarn started to rank weekly on video game charts….. well in America at least.
Ah, chuggaaconroy’s LP of Link’s Awakening DX would like a word with you.
If thats true why dont he do lets plays of games that need the sales or are not well know? Yep because people where searching zelda gameplay to begin with not who was going to be playing it. So your point dosnt hold ground that it helps or damage.
exactly why not show something like pandoras tower, thats bullshit!!!! krby is a well know fucking character, if he did it on pandoras tower or something your saying that game would have sold better. if true he should do shit like that….. oh wait its because it wasnt him
Your comment confuse me. Do you agree or not? Lol
agree man…..
Because he does LPs of games HE ENJOYS. Besides he did LPs of Epic Yarn, Pokemon Colosseum, Wind Waker, Super Paper Mario, Pokemon Emerald, Majora Mask which are all underrated games.
But well know . It is strange that he do lets plays of just games with well know ips of Nintendo. To me that he just like Nintendo biggest ips that dont need help to sell. Why he said is that Mario and zelda are big now because of lets players? How about he do a lets play of the new unknow Nintendo ips? Exsacly because they will not get has many views.
I know I am late, but I don’t care. Regarding to your comment about LPers doing only popular Ninty games, that is not true. Chuggaa also did Epic Yarn which is not that popular, Okami, the Mother games, Wind waker which was hated, Super paper mario which was hated, Pokemon Colosseum which was hated.
Also. He did the Mother trilogy. Like 75% of the games he did are underrated.
Mother dont need the sales now and Nintendo is not id matching old games just certain new ones. There still a huge backlog of games he can make money of.
Maybe because he’s not doing it to boost their sales, nor is he just targeting the newest games to get the most views, he’s doing the ones that he enjoys.
That dosnt make sence then. Lets player are using the excuse that they are doing it to help give free promotion but Mario dosnt need promotion neither zelda and i realy doub he just like the big Nintendo ips.
Well thought out post
Wasn’t a post, it was an email to Nintendo.
You should do the same, email them why it’s a bad thing, as a fan we should be doing this, just dont copy my email.
Say its bad all you want; in the end, the primary complaint is that the LPers wouldn’t be making money. That’s the main issue everyone has here, but nobody wants to say that’s the case. Why should Nintendo taking away ad revenue stop people from uploading videos especially if those videos aren’t going to be taken down? There is literally no reason why viewers themselves should even be upset with any of this; they haven’t lost any revenue, so that just leaves the LPers. The problem, however, is that if the LPers just quit, they’d be admitting that they were in it for the money all along. And who needs to watch somebody like that? People say it’s hard work to make and upload videos, and coming from a former LPer like myself, I won’t disagree with that, but that hard work is not enough to be entitled to profit.
I’m not saying the negative outcry is wrong, it’s completely based on ignorance and a lack of understand, and the people complaining have no right to.
But is it worth risking their image and their sales, just for some stupid ad revenue, that people are just going to use AdBlock on, and is going to put some people out of a job
I agree with Nintendo’s position on “Let’s Plays” on Youtube. It is their content, so no one else deserves the money made from utilizing Nintedo’s games, aside from Nintendo. Even if people think it is a stupid decision, because Nintendo will lose “free advertisement” it is still their call whether they want it or not. Personally, if I were in Nintendo’s position, I would do the exact same thing. 💋
I still believe that the Let’s Players that are honest and true to their craft, won’t let lack of monetization stop them from doing Nintendo games.
Oh no doubt, but those are the types of people that deserve to still be allowed to make a profit, because profit isn’t their concern, it’s about creating entertaining and informative content, that’s why i want Nintendo to partner with these people.
Their online presence, which is noticeably thin, and under constant barrage of fucking moron haters, would grow alot by advertising the channels that do it for entertainment and because they like Nintendo, and they should receive ad revenue so that they can continue to do so.
This has more to do with Nintendo’s image and sales, and creating an unparalleled online presence, rather than stopping some people making money.
Although I wish all this would happen, but it’s impossible because then Ninty will have nothing to show us for next year (they are a company capable of doing great things but not that fast).
Don’t count Nintendo out because of this is true then they MUST HAVE more stuff in store for later no? We’ll just have to wait and see.
They wont show Zelda. That’ll be there next year. An Fzero is rumoured to be in early stages. Nintendo have alot of studios, and consider the amount of games that released on the 3DS since last May, they have the means to maintain the supply, but i do think this E3 in particular, has alot of games that have been building up for a long time, such as Retro’s game, Smash Bros, and any other surprises.
wow that is right, guess the doomed articles filled my mind :P Thanks a lot!!!
Ummm.. they could show ALL THIS at E3 2013 and then make ALL NEW games to show next year!!! You ever think of that? 💋
lol I know they can, and sorry for not being clear enough but what I meant in the comment is that will the be able to do that? Show all new games next year? Of course Ii wouldn’t mind it, but I was just asking :)
lol k! 💋
The Legend of Zelda; return to the past?? Sounds better than ALTTP2…but that sounds like time travel could be involved…
Link to the Past was originally called Triforce of the Gods but they changed it cause they didn’t want ‘God’ in the title for the US release.
The original Link to the Past didn’t have any time travel at all. so this one probably won’t either the gimmick seems to be the 2d paper thing.
It was going to though, the triforce was supposed to be a time travel device/computer chip.
or so I’ve read.
The Legend of Zelda: Return to the Past?
The real rumors wherse covered with ” not enough ground” the rest are abvious that is goin to happen.
That sounds like a great formula if true.
One Nintendo Direct every day of E3, so much more content than just a 1-hour press conference.
Iwata must be realy dumb he ask to much :P jk
I just hope they bring Square Enix and Level-5 along to announce DQVII (SE) and Fantasy Life + Prof. Layton vs. Ace Attorney (Level-5). Do that and I’d the happiest.
Ooo looks like my school tests will have to take a break
Fail at the test and you will have to take a break with jobs lol.
Bullshit. It seems realistic but the having a iwata asks with a square enix just blew it. Square Enix is barely supporting Nintendo and they are probably more interested in the PS4.
Not to mention… TOO MANY DIRECTS. Nintendo probably wouldnt hold that many directs.
Considering what they could cover, it seems like a decent amount of directs.
I think the quote used by sickr here was “take it with a grain of salt”. I doubt there’s gonna be that many directs. Too much going on at E3 for Nintendo to put out that many directs and get the main attention of people.
Ignoring that each Direct brings us to better understand the Wii U and its future software. Unless you are not interested in the new Lost Words, Retro’s game, next Mario 3D and SSB4 and finally seeing Wii U’s capacity of graphics!
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy + Dragon Quest VII anyone?
Ness, that is what the direct is for. To show what Nintendo and S. Enix haven’t shown/told us yet!!! 💋
Only as far as we know.
For all we know, there have been behind-the-scenes deals.
Still waiting for Nintendo to announce Pokemon Rainbow!!!!! >:(
Cool beans. I want to see Smash! And Retro’s project!
I want to see Sony/Microsoft equal 3rd party :(
Playstation allstars….hahahah. what a let down:(
“…..as they review all the amazing games Activison will bring to Wii U and Nintendo 3DS platforms from Call of Duty Ghosts to Skylanders: Swap Force and more!”
WHAT DAFUQ ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?! Nobody wants to play that shovelware!!!!!
They have more games in development for wii u.You will see soon enough.
Instead of CoD and Skylanders they should ensure the multiplatform.games or else there will be a lot more droughts. Nintendo releases all of their games and the other exclusives within a short time period just to stop the other consoles. It might work at the beginning but it’s no secret that the other consoles will gain much more support. Imagine a worst case scenario where they released all the games and lost the entire 3rd party and indie support. There wouldn’t be anything except VC for atleast three years until a new wave of games is ready.
I want Nintendo to go out and PAY (if neccessary) for the games just like they said themselves. Remember “….and I want the best of third party”. Right now the Wii U is failing to fulfill its purpose. It was made to get the Wii’s flaws away and to prevent the pack of non nintendo content.
I am sick of the whole “wait until E3, wait until direct, wait untilthe big games” why did they release the Wii U a year before the games?
To be honest am absolutely loving my wii u with games lego city,injustice,zombie u,monster hunter,nfs, have kept me happy.Maybe the games released so far your not to keen on?I pretty much all type games with twenty in my collection so far.We could have n64 all over again ie so many developers but the percent of quality games is high,this I belive will be case which is fine by me.
Well I thought about Lego City because of the humor, I already played need for speed on my PC and the other games don’t interest me. I know that I am going to get a Wii U when that Mario Galaxy successor and the secomd Bayonetta game come out but I want to play with that console after those games too. I dom’t want a Wii all over again where I played two Metroids, two Mario Galaxy’s and two Zeldas. I am okay with a Gamecube like time without droughts where I got a ron of exclusives and some of the multi games.
They could be talking about the wiiu version of destiny.
Did you owned a ps3? Because that console had less games and ports than the wiiu is having now but what should you know is almost 8 years since that many people dint knew how to walk then.
I didn’t notice it back in the day because I bought my PS3 in 2009, I didn’t own a 360 and most of my gaming was playing a backlog from the Gamecube, N64, PSX, PS2 and SNES games I missed plus a good PC so I had enough to play.
“Why did they release the Wii U a year before the games?” Ignoring that Wii sales were declining. Also ignoring that Wii U needed to consumers to purchase Wii U in order to get feed back and being sure that the games planned on being released were good quality games. Also ignoring that Ubisoft delayed Rayman Legends to go multiplat. Also ignoring that EA was going to release many games months ago.
i want destiny
I would of guessed something along these lines happening,have heard for while there’s number third party titles in development and as it’s set out it makes sense to me.I would expect number of these titles set for release from oct.
Is it just me who likes the idea of having multiple Nintendo Directs year around instead of having E3. Sure it’s a big change, but it seems like a better idea.
I already prefer it. Even with the way Nintendo are doing things, out of the big 3 they’re the only ones actually using E3 for stuff. The Wii U was the only 8th Gen home console to be announced at E3; Sony and MS have already just about stopped caring about it.
The people who follow the whole topic won’t care because they get theirbinfo anyways but the needed new customers won’t know anything.
Yeah, especially since E3 is getting less relevant each year.
E3 has really only been relevant to longtime and persistant gamers. To everyone else in the world… it doesn’t even exist… 💋
Exactly. Only a group of people can go to E3 anyway. Nintendo Directs are more accessible and anyone can discuss what’s happening like twich tv. And you don’t have to worry about any embarrassing things that might happen since the Directs are pre-recorded.
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy = The new Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light
Real or not….
I will like to have MANY Ninte3do Directs.
Can not wait for June.
“Wii U Zapper”
WHY
Link’s Sniper Crossbow Training Reloaded HD
Link’s Gust Bellows Training
I assume that the Wii U Zapper will be used for Game & Wario (not confirmed yet) and the upcoming Sniper Elite v.2.
WHY NOT !!!!!
A ZAPPER GAME WITH DUAL SCREENED AUTO MATICALLY GIVING TWO VIEWS
IF YOU DONT WAT INNOVATION AND NEW GAMING EXPERIANCE GO BUY PS4
This is supposed to be secret until E3 2013.
FAKE!!!!! Wheres WW HD? and Zelda Wii U????
Another one we need to silence before our secrets are potentially disclosed…
people will think anything now days, you mean to tell me pious that all this shit is legit yo. get this i have been stuck in the tome of eternal darkness and my ass itches and i cat reach!!!!!
cant reach* ill be back, just see, ive been prank calling nintendo, after so much insanity went in there head from me, they said ok ok, leave me alone!!!!!! they were going to fund MY game shadow of the eternals starring me pious!!!!! believe that bitches!!!!!! they said that they will fund it because the money wont be there and instead make it eternal darkness 2 starring me!!!!!!! they also said please dont call us again your driving me insane!!!!! thats what i do bitch!!!!!!!!
‘its that time of the year again’

If this is anything close to the truth (which I believe it is) then Nintendo is set to have a epic amazing E3
Who really cares about pokemon? Im a nintendo fan and its time the company grow up and start makibg some hardcore games without mario or zelda in the title.
Sony and Microsoft are already too similar. We don’t need ANOTHER hardcore powerhouse. Nintendo is a powerhouse in it’s own, “friendlier” way. Which is better in my opinion. 💋
What is hardcore about sony or microsoft?
my words exactly.
The gunz the cursing the blood and the boobs.
We don’t need your Xbot fantasies in here…
The word “hardcore” lost all meaning the second the Xbots entered the gaming universe…
And worst of all the new gamers of today are so brainwashed by these corrupted words…
And Pokemon selks millions every generation so obviously millions do care and enjoy these games unlike the social mainstream waste our time “games” like CoD…
im i i right, we need more games with me pious!!!!!
I’m calling bullshit.
Agreed!!
your name makes it twice as funny and believable!!!
Just please don’t be a repeat of last year. I remember last year everyone was like “omg nintendo will dominate e3!” and then remember how disappointed everyone was? We got Nintendo land…
Anyway, I too have a good feeling about this years E3. I’m excited for so many things! :D
For all we know they could have filmed all of this stuff weeks ago. It does make a lot of sense. Rather than scrunching everything down into an hour show, they broke it up so that each game could shine, each developer can shine, and everything can have the buff and polish on it.
I will say this. IF this is true, it’s brilliant. I tore Nintendo a new one when I found out that they weren’t doing a keynote speech, but this seems almost better and combined with the Best Buy tie-in the Wii U will be everywhere.
I will also say that IF this is true and IF this is successful you can rest assured that the days of keynote speeches at E3 are over, but because Microsoft and Sony will be doing the same thing NEXT YEAR. Heck, E3 in general might be over.
Lastly, IF this is true than I feel that what we have seen by Nintendo is a ‘soft-launch’ of the Wii U and that the true ‘Grand-Opening’ begins on June 10th 2013.
Al they did was jot down stuff we can already predict will happen. I think the Activision one is true as Nintendo and Activision need a format to showcase the new Ghost game in depth.
If this is true, and I expect some of it to be, nintendo wins. I mean for one it’s extremely likely retro’s game will be shown.
Fake.
Sora studios just closed by the beginning of this year.
They announce the names of the games we already know, if this was real some unnanounced game names might pop out!
The phrase “unnanounced games for Nontendo 3DS” really make me doubt, this is just what somebody thinks E3 will be like thats all!
I agree completely. They wrote down what everybody thinks and since everybody already thought it people are like ‘Seems real.’
It’s a strong possibly that the author of these rumors would probably like to keep his job and stay out of court. Announcing titles before Nintendo would assuredly get him fired and possible legal action towards him and his employers assuming he knows such information which he never insinuated that he did..
Sora LTD. did not close up shop. “Project Sora” closed up shop which was a temporary-subsidiary to develop Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS.
If this information is true the purpose was more than likely to give people an idea on how Nintendo is planning it’s itinerary for E3 rather than trying to give gossip about games that have been announced.
This information probably is false, but not for the reasons you say.
If you look at the original blog, it is just a fan blog that sometimes reports video game news. It doesn’t even has that many posts. The author even admits he is only 14 years old. This rumor is made-up.
Links please.
“Alex Gaming Blog: My Personal Take On Video Games”
Created in January 2013, only has 11 posts, on the 7th post from the top it says that he is only 14
http://alexgamingblog.com/
That is the original source.
Probably made up then. He seems to be in damage-control mode now acknowledging that he has no facts to back up what he is saying yet still standing by what he said.
I would say that less than %50 of what he said will wind up becoming true, but I think there are a some things that will wind up happening
I would like five directs, that would be nice
1-Outline of Schedule of Events and the Best Buy Deal (Pre-E3 Direct)
2-Social Software Direct (Wii U summer system update, Miiverse 3DS, Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, Wii Sports U, Pokémon Rumble U, Flipnote Studio 3D, eshop stuff)
3- Wii U Software Showcase (3d mario, mario kart x sonic racing, wind waker hd, x, bayoneta 2, yoshi, retro’s game, miyamoto’s new ip, third parties)
4- 3DS Software Showcase (mario luigi dream team, zelda link to the past 2, mario party, yoshi island, layton, pokemon, bravely default, third parties)
5- Smash Direct (like the pokemon direct in january, a trailer for smash bros as well as info. about how the wii u and 3ds versions connect)
This all seems likely, but I think we all knew this before anyways. The thing I am curious of is the entire Direct for Smash Bros. That is a lot more than I expected. Also, I would think Pikmin 3 would be there somewhere as well as Zelda Wind Waker and Zelda U. Seems supsicious… I don’t think this is real but it could very easily be real. This person just wrote down what everybody has been expecting basically.
FAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!!!

sounds very convincing……………………..
where is EA??????? ;_; ok no, everybody hate EA….anyway.. I can’t wait any longer I have huge expectations for Wii U I hope Nintendo present news IPs and I wait great games and the new Zelda <3
Sitting in Microsoft’s lap…….
Fuck neogaf, that place is shit
The fact that there are a lot of areas where he’s not had enough evidence to post more, makes it feel more like he was only posting what he was sure of.
It could be legit.
Directly to you motherfuckers.
Only one thing to say, I can’t wait til E3!!
This is too much, we don’t deserve it :’)

just gonna leave this here
You really need to quit advertising your videos, especially if you post the same one over and over.
if this thing becomes true, surely this will be more exciting than the usual “big conference”! of course, there is no proof yet. as i always say with rumours: let’s wait. by this rumours, Nintendo is supposed to released a Nintendo Direct in the first week of June, so let’s wait. if they make it, all of this is true. if not, at least we had something to talk about. and what would these “TOP SECRET IWATA ASKS” be?
wiiU zapper BIGGER STRONGER FASTER *POWER*
RETRO STAFFERS TO REVEAL AT E3 THERE PENISES ARE ALL ABOVE 12 “” LONG
AND THAT A LUCKY GAMER WILL GET TO WANK OFF THE HUGE COLLECTION
“NintE3do Direct: Iwata Asks Disney Interactive Studios.”
Dammit, i want KH3 on WiiU as well
I just hope that Nintendo absolutely amazes with their Directs. I mean they need to. Sony and Microsoft are going to get SO MUCH media hype from their E3 presentations. People won’t be shutting up about their new systems and games for quite awhile. Nintendo needs to counter this by surprising us with a LOT of exclusive games. What worries me about this rumor is that there maybe only up to five at the maximum of surprise games and even then they might not be exclusive. That would absolutely cripple Nintendo’s chances of coming out on top this upcoming holiday season. What would amaze me to the fullest is if they could land Kingdom Hearts III as a Wii U exclusive or at least a timed exclusive. It’s unlikely but it would be a huge killer app.
After Platinum, Ubisoft, Atlus, Capcom, and Sega…there next partnership should be to get kingdom hearts 3 as an exclusive
and, knowing the next SquareEnix CEO(which wanted to join N long time ago) the chances can be great
