I think they'll probably show a little more of the Fire Emblem they announced in the last direct, maybe we'll get an actual name for it

It's name is "The All New Next Game in the Fire Emblem Series with an All New Innovative Feature for New Nintendo 3DSXL 2015"

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.

Yeah, they won't show off stuff for the later half of the year in the most part, but i'd like to think they could tease a bit of Star Fox if it's supposed to be playable during E3

I wonder if Xenoblade Chronicles X will let our Cross’s romance other party members via the affinity system. Ya know, just so I can have all my Male and Fem Cross’s end up with Elma every single time.

Wave 4 amiibos will not be released in the US because we are barbarians who don't understand they are meant to be played with, not kept in boxes and sold for 4x the price on ebay.

Yeah but it would be nice to get a glimpse of the new tracks + find out which retro ones they're bringing back. (I want Toad's Factory)

It would also be a good time to announce Mario Kart x Metroid DLC in November and Mario Kart x Fire Emblem in May 2016

I want Rainbow Road 7. Still.

I'd take Neo Bowser City from 7 as a consolation prize, though.

It would be amazing if they kept pumping out DLC. I doubt it will happen, though. This next one is likely the last one.

I wouldn't mind Maple Treehouse, though. That one is awesome as it is but could very well translate to MK8.

I'm not sure I'd want the same track three games in a row.

I'd prefer more SNES or GBA stages over stages from Wii or 7, honestly.

And Wario Stadium from 64, that should come back.

Before we go into direct hype mode can I just give a quick shout-out to the Huffington Post and their amazing headlines? Especially since you don't even have to go digging in the tech section to see the story it's right there on the front page in the top bar.

But that's not even the best part THIS IS:

quote:

A representative for Nintendo did not immediately respond to a request for comment. This doesn't appear to be an authorized use of the company's famous mascot, though, so you might try giving it a whirl before any cease and desist letters go out.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

Why would you go out of your way to contact them about it before they had even done anything?

UPDATE: "Super Mario 64 HD" has been removed from Ross' website following a copyright complaint from Nintendo of America. In a statement to The Huffington Post, a spokesperson for Nintendo said, "Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of others, and in turn expects others to respect ours. Nintendo is passionate about protecting its creative works developed to entertain its fans and takes the necessary steps to remove unauthorized content distributed via the Internet."

Nintendo, I love your games, but poo poo like this is insane.

They are so utterly backwards about these things. Like, with the youtube thing, I think it's lovely what they're doing but it's like fine, people make money off the ad revenue, so okay. But this is beyond ridiculous
