zelda_windwaker_reborn_enviroment

Nintendo has announced via the newly opened E3 site that its Nintendo Direct will be one hour-long. The Wii U focussed Nintendo Direct which takes place on June 11th begins at 7am PT and is bound to include a number of highly anticipated games including Mario 3D, Mario Kart U, and Wind Waker HD. As always, we will be covering the Nintendo Direct as it happens.

Thanks to everyone that sent this in.

    1. LOL 15mins of Dickmin3. 15mins of Lego City of shit. 15mins of AnimalTrolling and 15mins of MarioParty58. hahahahaha also no third parties :( hahahahahahahaha

      1. We already know about all the games you listed except the Mario Party if you’re talking about them making one for Wii U. Also you don’t know if there are any unannouced third parties. Oh and I have to admit that’s pretty funny! lol

      2. Sky Grounder [@ Wii U]

        Lego City: Undercover was released a while ago, Mario Party was announced for the 3DS, not Wii U. They’ve also given us some hints at what other games we’ll see, such as Zelda, Wonderful 101, Super Mario and Mario Kart, and maybe Smash Bros.
        Stop making a fool out of yourself, it’s really silly.

        1. Sky Grounder [@ Wii U]

          And we might see something from Sonic: Lost World as well as some other suprises.
          Retro Studios’ game anyone?

      3. Yeah right after 2 things… 1)MS 3rd party games, 2)Jagoffs like you with no life trolling…Yes it looks like an eventful one…

      4. Lego City and Animal crossing will have been out before the Direct…fail. Mario Party 3DS isn’t 58 that’s Final Fantasy.

      5. No 3rd parties games? Why on earth would Nintendo waste time showing third party games at an E3 which are also available on other platforms? At an E3 the company shows consumers why they should purchase their product. As your dumb ass saw that 3Rd party games did not sell the Wii U. Why would Nintendo brag about Watch Dogs or COD Ghost?

  1. This kinda scares me.. Because they have so much to cover and I’m afraid they’ll spend too much time on titles we already know about. Maybe I’m wrong.. Hopefully.

    1. If they spend as much time covering each game as they do in the usual Directs then, within an hour, they should have time to cover loads of stuff!

      1. Yeah.. I’m sure they can cover a lot.. But it seams every year I think that, and every year I come away hoping I had heard/seen more.

        1. Well they are announcing a few games that we’ve not seen anything of before (Mario Kart, Mario 3D, Smash Brothers) so even seeing some footage from those games alone will make me happy.

    2. Pikmin3 and wonderfull101, but i think we gonna see a lot more new stuf, or maybe there will be more Nintendo direct.

      1. Yeah i do not want to see more of Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3, i wanna see some Mario Kart Project X and SSB4

      1. Really?! Is that based off the same rumours that have been circulating, or a direct quote from Nintendo…? It seems like we’re getting this one only, but If Nintendo is promising multiples perhaps another will be for peripherals etc.

    3. Would you rather have them spend an hour talk about functions outside of games and focus on games for 5 minutes like the Xbox One, or spend it on streaming everything like the PS4?

      Consoles are primarily for gaming and so far, Nintendo seems set on demonstrating that for E3. Sony, maybe, Xbox, hard to convince me, but still, good luck nonetheless.

      1. No, it’s just that we’ve seen so many games announced in Nintendo Directs recently that I’m just afraid we’ll hear most about things that have already been announced. Not necessarily a bad thing, I just hope we get a lot of great info about Retro’s title, Smash Bros., etc. They have time, so we’ll see.

        1. My friend they already did that last Direct. They got all the known releases out of the way. Bill Trinnan said that via twitter, the E3 will be everything that isn’t announced.

          So there you have it. Nothing to fear, except how much your wallet will hate you. Lol

          1. Haha yeah.. It’s just that I’m afraid they’ll go even more in depth with those already announced games. I want to hear more! But not take up all the room. Hopefully there will be more Directs like people are saying.

        2. Im saving ALL my ammo that day 4 all the trolls that will get heart attack…Battlefield4 will mean nothing next to Retro’s hits, and the Zeldas, Mario 3d, MarKart, 101, X, Miyamoto’s project, man the competition should just tap out now. No one with half a brain will care for the cable box, and the streamathon true rehasher ps nuthing. lol.

        3. Well, we’re gonna hear more info about stuff that was announced.
          Bayonetta will probably show up, along with Wonderful 101 and a proper trailer for Wind Waker.

          I wouldn’t worry too much, they’ve been keeping Wii U info secret for so long there has to be a lot at E3.

    4. I predict certain games will have a trailer and one minute of additional info, so I believe they’ll have plenty of time.
      And here I was worry they’d take the usual 30 minutes and show like…4 games.

  2. It’s on at 12 in the morning in Australia. I’m thinking about getting together with some mates and having a couple of drinks to pass the time until it’s on

      1. Actually he’s right. Out of the three next gen consoles, the X-Box One doesn’t look or sound appealing at all. It looks like a VCR mixed with a 360, which looks much worse than an Xbox 360 IMO. Not to mentioned they are finishing another classic Rare title to botch like what happened to Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark. When’s the last time since they made a new IP (Which they didn’t announce like Sony did for the PS4) other than those Kinect games anyway? Looks like I will only own 2 of the 3 consoles this generation.

    1. Pitfall near your door

      Usually E3 is pretty much the same time but they have a lot of room to put out game content for us then worry about the middle man (spec and financial) crap and only primary focus on games.

  3. I hope we get more than mario, mario kart ww smash bros etc want to see some other nintendo mascots get games as well

  4. All I want them to show is:

    – Wave Race, 1080 Snowboarding or F-Zero. Any one of those three will do.
    – 1 or 2 new IPs please. Pretty please.

    That’s it.

    All the usual and obvious stuff will be great I’m sure.

    Oh, plus Bayonetta 2 footage.

    1. 1-Miyamoto’s new ip has a high chance of being shown
      2-I hope Retro’s game is a new ip

      I don’t think one of those racing games will be shown…maybe at next years e3…but we can hope

  5. Aren’t they doing multiple directs too? I hope there’s at least 2 surprises, we know Retro’s game will make an appearance, but hopefully there’s something else we dont know about

  6. zx 81... sharp tape deck...kempston joystick im ready to go

    DISRUPTION IN COMMING LOL NINTENDO RUNNING SCARED THESE CRETINS NEED BIPOLA MEDS

    IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE NINTENDO OWNING HARD GAMES GAMES GAMES POLISHED PRESENTATION IN DIRECTS GREAT NEWS GAMEPAD ETC IN COMING ALL THE DEV CHAT AND HYPE DELIVERED IN A CRISP PRESENTATION

      1. zx 81... sharp tape deck...kempston joystick im ready to go

        i was programming zx spectrum 48ks when i was 11 years old early 80s i was 41 on may 20th funny thing is i still look like a kid and still playing games

        its this life long experience and understanding of gaming THAT MAKES ME LOOK SIDEWAYS AT SONY AND MS FANS THEY SIMPLY DO NOT GET IT

        1. Well you know as well as I that the brand wars have always existed – I remember Spectrum vs Amstrad vs Commodore!

          But for me, where the games on those new systems fall down is that they are too cinematic and not enough about the gameplay or the challenge. Nintendo still seem to like old-school games and that’s why I favour them.

          Gears Of War? Uncharted? Give me Bubble Bobble any day!

          1. That’s exactly how I feel about video games! I wasn’t born in the 80s but in the very late 90s (1999) and I played a lot of Nintendo’s old games and I realized that you don’t need cinematic cutscenes or violence in a video game to have fun! When we got to the gaming generation 7 every thing changed! And every thing was just shooting, gore, and cinematic cutscenes! But Nintendo still stayed the same with Mario, Zelda, Kirby, etc. I’d rather play New Super Mario Bros U than Uncharted! Because that’s the way I like my games and I can have fun those type of games!

              1. For me, gore doesn’t bother me. Shooting (or any violence) doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is when a game has no gameplay, only cutscenes, and you feel like you’re just there to press the appropriate controls to move the movie along!

                  1. Another thing that those games (and a lot of others) seem to be lacking is FUN. I remember playing 2 player games on the Spectrum, Master System, Megadrive (Genesis), Snes and so on, but a lot of games these days are either single-player or online multiplayer. I’d rather just play with one or two mates sat around my TV and always have – there is more of an experience that way. This is where, in my opinion, Nintendo come into their own. They still make games the old-school way, and that’s just how I like it.

                    1. Yes I know exactly how you feel. The only thing that keeps you playing a game like The Walking Dead and not quiting is the story. I mean I have a PS3 and 2 controllers but there aren’t much games that are multiplayer to have fun with.

    1. zx 81... sharp tape deck...kempston joystick im ready to go

      3-4 directs over e3 first an hour ARE U CRAZY what do you thinks coming BOMBS LOTS OF BOMBS

        1. Wii U direct is an hour and a half then there will be a 3DS direct then smaller directs where they go into detail about games they revealed already.

  7. They just going to regurgitate the same games we already heard/know about over and over and over. I want something new….and not another kiddie game…

    1. ……
      *facepalm*
      You can pretty much guarantee, anyone who actually thinks Nintendo makes “kiddie” games, is a moron.

      1. Some people regurgitate games, some regurgitate moronic comments on the intarwebs. Which is more useful?

    2. So you are saying that because Nintendo told us about SSBU and 3D Mario, they shoul not finally show those games? Are you serious?

  8. zx 81... sharp tape deck...kempston joystick im ready to go

    dualshock said the poor retard to the carer ,she says arr bless after his terrible accident he doesnt have the brains to know its not 1996 anymore poor guy

    oh darn his pooped again GOD DARN SONY FREAKS

  9. Really only an hour? Wasn’t their last WiiU direct an hour or 45 minutes? Hopefully they don’t waste time beating around the bush with this direct

    1. And people were scared at 1st when Nintendo said, we aint doing a conference on yo punk ass stage ya bitches! We takin back our respect, fuck ya haters! LOL. I knew it was a good idea from the start. I’ll take Directs, fresh nclean over e3 boring shit anyday! Luck of Heaven UUUUppercut! Sonic BOOOOM! uuuuuuuughhh!

    1. Bayonetta 2 is (sort of) confirmed for this direct
      Would be nice to see smt x fire emblem, sonic lost world, another third party exclusive, and a sizzle reel for other third parties

    1. Nintendo would like you to buy one of those consoles along side thier own actually. WiiU + PS4 or Wiiu + Xbox One or all three even. They want you to experience the gaming industry and not just a single path.

          1. Nintendo is just simply the best option. Amazing first party content, Games for multiple ages, and, compared to other consoles, really cheap systems! I love nintendo, now, Im ready to see some mario kart!

  11. Nintendo needs to buy Sega, Tecmo, Namco and Square Enix. They are financially weak, they know how to make HD games and large open world games, they have valuable IP.

    1. Sakurai :Lets take a look at everyones jump animation. Look at luigis, woah…wanna see it again? here. Again? Sure. Slow Mo? OKAY!
      Viewer : MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT SSTTTOOOPPP

  12. Actually Gamexplain was in contact with Nintendo via Twitter. They told him the Wii U Direct would be an hour and a half. Then a Pokemon X and Y Direct with Q&A in the same day.

  13. Too bad that guy speaks so slow, that his 1 hour presentation could be done in 15 minutes…
    But anyways, I think these are nice, makes it feel like Nintendo really cares about games and gamers

  14. pikmim 3, 3d mario, Mario Kart U, W101, Bayonetta 2, Wind Waker HD, X, Retro’s project(‘s) Sonic Lost world, hopefully something from Zelda U(although its unlikely) some new Ip’s, and thats not evening getting into the 3DS with TLOZ a return to the past and X&Y. i have faith that N will have its game face on come E3.

  15. I’m hoping for some wii fit u, need to shift this two stone I’ve put on playing mh3u and lcu! :)

  16. i want to see games that require two Gamepads as well as the secret port underneath the gamepad. I also want to know the new features that these games will have because of the gamepad. I also want to know and hope we get new IPs.

      1. What you mean by a Zapper? They said at the last Direct they will explain what that port does. Also I want to know how Rayman Legends responds to that NFC technology where a toy can be placed on the Gamepad and then appears in the game. There are a lot of features the Wii U can do besides play HD with an explained powerful GPU.

        1. zx spectrum 48k sharp tape deck and kepston joystick

          thevgamepad screen screws into the zapper AS WAS CLEARLY SHOWN AT E3 WHEN WIIU GOT REVEALED

          ITS A ZAPPER WITH GAMEPAD ATTACHED

        1. This is Nintendo. You don’t really think all that port does is for a zapper? This is Nintendo known for holding secrets longer than Sony and Microsoft. Like I said before, Iwanta promised he was going to reveal the port on the Gamepad at next Nintendo Direct. It does more than just a zapper port.

          1. After all the port for the N64 Controller was not just for the rumble pak. Yet we did not know that until Pokemon Stadium arrived.

          2. He, nor I, said it was just for a Zapper (if you don’t know what a Zapper is, you didn’t play the NES or Wii).The port is for accessories (what ever they may be) ect. There is a Wii U Gamepad Virtual Tour video on Nintendo’s Youtube channel that states this.

  17. i also want them to explain the next big update this summer. Lastly, I want to know about the all new Wii U above the deluxe version.

    1. In this update, as part of the year of luigi, whilst playing a game, luigi will jump infront of the camera and start dancing. This update is Mandatory, nothing will work other than settings untill you download this update.

  18. Also the Mic on the gamepad. it also responds ehen you blow at it. There is no telling if the Mic will be used in Zelda, Mario or another Wii U game like Lost Worlds. The Gamepad is filled with playable features that has not even been experienced on current games yet. This console will be around for another six years. During those six years is no telling what Wii U can do. Nintendo TVii is not even at its full potential.

  19. I remeber at last years E3, Nintnedo revealed Wii Fit U. If someone holds the Gamepad it will tell you your BMI. This thing in the future activate your cable provider’s DVR.

  20. zx spectrum 48k sharp tape deck and kepston joystick

    theres going to be more than one direct over e3 backed up by the medias events that will be shown to us on these very sites

  21. up to I saw the receipt saying $5327, I didn’t believe …that…my mom in-law was like they say realie taking home money parttime from there computar.. there great aunt started doing this for only about 9 months and as of now repayed the loans on their mini mansion and got a gorgeous BMW 5-series. go to, Bow6.com
