Nintendo just posted on their Instagram that there's a direct coming tomorrow, 3 PM pacific.

Nice! 3AM my time but I'll wake up to a billion posts on the internet summarizing it. Wonder if this is when they release the Platinum rewards for club nintendo too, the site says April 1

Seriously splatoons endgame is Team Fortresses' grinding for gear. Except there are actual BIS stats on the gear and not a ton of different and viable setups you can use. It's like why would you do that to yourself?


After the feeling of newness wears off and the honeymoon period is over all you will know is just the deep feeling of want from not having Xenoblade being out yet.

Dammit this thing airs as soon as my next class starts.

Mewtwo is most likely to appear at this point, but I really want more info on Yoshi's Woolly World.

I would be completely fine with that if I could leave chunks of the DK rap in messages strewn along the game.

I'm stoked to see a Star Fox trailer... not sure why they've been so purposely obtuse with it up to this point, blurring out screens and whatnot, especially when they're willing to show early Zelda footage that looks pretty janky and empty. If they show even a single frame of on-foot gameplay I will probably sink into a deep depression.

Yes. The only downside is it's tied to your profile name in the game so you need to remember to pick your name from the list when you start playing or switch game modes.

I really hope Nintendo talks about Star Fox, and Xenoblade. I've been a broken record with these two games, but i'm pretty excited to play both.

I don't blame you. Star Fox is probably the game I'm looking forward to the most. I haven't even played the original Xenoblade yet but X looks really good so far.

You had to get medals on every single level, then hold a button as multiplayer launched or something. Nobody did it because even back then on-foot was bad.

Oh wow, I'm a little surprised I had no idea this existed. It looks awful!

All that said, I don't think on-foot gameplay would be a death sentence for the next Star Fox game. I think the huge issue was that it had awkward weight, weird controls, and excessively bad level design. For multiplayer, though, it brought a really interesting dynamic that I thought worked pretty well.

Purely vehicular gameplay would definitely be preferable.

My guess is that tomorrow we get

-Smash update details (including Mewtwo) that become available at the end of the direct
-Shitton of Splatoon, including launch date
-Mario Maker stuff
-New Pokemon game on the 3DS? (Z maybe)
-Stuff on the new SMT game maybe?
-Tiny bit of info on Xenoblade X
-Probably a small eShop game that's out at the end of the direct
-Possibly Star Fox trailer

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

I'd be suprised if they showed off Star Fox with this being so close to E3. I figure this direct will primarily talk Splatoon, Wooly World and Xenoblade with hopefully a few eshop announcements. As much as I'd love to hear about some other cool stuff I just can't imagine they will blow big E3 reveals prior to the show, especially with them not having Zelda to fall back on this year.

I think there's either a surprise eShop game, surprise special virtual console game, or both because Nintendo Europe announces those on Monday and this week they conspicuously has no releases listed this week on Monday from Nintendo Europe so I think there's a surprise eShop game or special virtual console games or both because of that this week Nintendo Europe.

Good call. I thought Pallette just got to the press release before they completely filled it out. I didn't even think that it would be related to the Direct, but it makes so much sense.
