RIP yoshi yarn

 

[Laurina]

Yeah, no problem c:

and by "Super Smash Bros -Rosalina & Luma" do you mean they are a playable character in the game (obv together id assume??) 'case if they are thats pre cool

Yes, it has been confirmed that the two will be playable as a single set in the game.

 

[Box9Missingo]

That's some good news about Celebi . Cannot wait to start transferring Pok?mon. Set aside some money to be able to pay for it after the free trial is over.

 

[Jake]

o00O0o00O0O0O0o0oO00oO00o that's pretty cool
just bring mewtwo back, and make midna be a playable character and tyvm

 

[Prof Gallows]

That Smash Bros video confused the heck out of me at first.

For a second there I thought Kirby was going to be in Mario Kart. lol
But nope, it's Rosalina in Smash Bros. Which is pretty cool too.

 

[oath2order]

Hyrule Warriors though

 

[001rich100]

Nintendo is debutting Bravely Default with microtransactions? Wtf Nintendo? Really?

Blame Square Enix for that. They're jumping onto the microtransaction train with all of their new games.

 

[Laurina]

For a second there I thought Kirby was going to be in Mario Kart. lol

I thought the same thing too! Haha. It made me believe Mario Kart 8 was going to be for 3DS as well :c

Hyrule Warriors though

I've been forcing myself to not take any interest in ever buying a Wii U, but for this game I'm really tempted to. Especially since I told myself I was just going to buy my 3DS for Animal Crossing NL and only Animal Crossing NL so I could hand it off to my niece when I'm done with it. Now I have like ten games, and don't see myself giving it up anytime soon.

Spoiler: My cat approves Hyrule Warriors

He sat on my laptop the second the music started, and he walked away the second it moved onto Kirby.

I guess I might just hint for a Wii U for Christmas/my birthday and hope someone needs to buy me a last minute gift.

 

[Box9Missingo]

Yuck . I'm not a fan of those. Hopefully it doesn't affect the game as a whole. As in, you have to pay money to access other parts of the game that are integral to the game itself. That would suck. But Nintendo, is already doing that with Pok?bank. $5 a year to use it. That isn't totally bad, since it doesn't affect game play in general.

I think Nintendo is just trying something new to see how well it works. SE is just taking a nosedive they won't recover from. =/
Pretty sure the next couple of games from them on consoles is gonna be it, as they're switching over to mobile-gaming.

You forgot that anyone who makes a NNID for a 3DS before end of January gets a free download of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. which gives me even more motivation to do so, as I have the original version of that game and loved it. For those who don't know, it's a Game Boy Colour port of the original NES game.

Edit: Also Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright release date.

 

[Paperboy012305]

NOOOOO!!! Rosalina beat up villager! (I know its part of the game) But why villager!? Gosh, I really want Bandana Waddle Dee to make an appearance in the new SBB game, he looks super cool. Him (If he makes it) and villager will be my 2 players i'll play with often. Please make Bandana Waddle Dee appear in the next SBB game Nintendo, don't crush my dreams. And for the SBB tiers, please don't make my 2 frequently played characters go down to the lower tiers, they're too awesome to hit the lowers.

I think thats only in Europe.

This is probably the best Nintendo Direct ever.
I wonder if the Bravely Default Demo will have unlimited uses or not, since its a complete side-story...
When I was watching the direct I thought that Dr. Luigi and NES Remix was free since they didn't say any prices, then I found out that they are overpriced at $15...

Rosalina in SMASH BROS! Best thing ever, love it!

And that airport stage looks awesome. Sunshine Airport I think its called. Love Delfino references, love Delfino stage. Yes, yes.
All we need now is Resetti as a playable character in SSBWU/3DS.

Oh yeah. Free Celebi. I'll probably just download it for that then get Pokemon X later and import it.

I'm excited for Yoshi's New Island. I had Yoshi's Island for the Super NES and the Gameboy Advance and I loved it.

Microtransactions in Bravely Default are completely optional and are not required. They were only implemented for those that do not wish to leave their system running in sleep mode.

I wonder if the Bravely Default Demo will have unlimited uses or not, since its a complete side-story...

The EU demo had 30 uses; most of the demo required the game to be open. Furthermore, you won't have any reason to continue playing it after it's 100% complete.

Hyrule Warriors sounds neat, though it looks like the typical button masher. Link is left handed again!!
I hope EU's release of Layton vs. Phoenix Wright means NA has a chance of getting it as well.

 

[JCnator]

Wow. This Nintendo Direct is one of the most exciting news I've ever saw. Dyntasy Warriors meeting The Legend of Zelda, a batch of NES challenges and a Luigi-themed Dr. Mario game arriving on New Year's Eve are pretty much what caught my eyes.

At first, I thought that NES Remix was a ripoff, especially when it lacks multiplayer to make the game even more competitve and is priced $15 in North America (Europe is like $10). I played it anyway, and it's definitely a great way to play all the NES classics without spending $65 more for the original NES games you'd otherwise never get. All I need is SNES Remix, and my life will be complete!

I hope that Kirby Fighters thing is online. Have some mini matches on TBT.

Yes, if I recall correctly it was said that there will be ten different abilities in the mode. You can play with four players or up to four players or you can play by yourself. I'm sure you will be able to connect with other friends.
