Nintendo Direct (April 1st 2015)

[Reindeer]

After being supposedly leaked by various sources (4chan being the main player) and being questioned by many, it's now confirmed that there will indeed be a Nintendo Direct tomorrow. The Japanese stream went live a few minutes ago, and shows a countdown to 1 day and 8 hours from now (at the time of writing this post, pic).


Links to the apparent leaks (click at own risk, take with grain of salt, and all that):
American 2
European 2


Ignoring the leaks, what are you hoping to see?

 

[LambdaDelta]

April Fools! Zelda U will be out this holiday season!

 

[Jake]

JIGGLYPUFF AMIIBO COME TO ME MY SWEET CHILD

 

[JasonBurrows]

I am hoping that they announce loads more amiibo!!!!!!

 

[EmmaFrost]

Yoshi's Wooly World release date!

 

[LambdaDelta]

I hope this happens

"In order to give the experience you had when you played Star Fox 64, we will not allow people to save their games."

The leaks' information is very different from one another, apart from a few tidbits. But let's be honest, if you were writing a fake leaks list, you'd obviously include MORE AMIIBO ANNOUNCED HOT DAMN

Spoiler

Also the European leak is obviously some fan-created thing. Starting time of 3PM GMT, even though the American and Japanese ones start at 11PM GMT.

tbh the best thing of these leaks imo is having the VCs overlap between systems

most everything else I'm kinda "bleh" on at worst, or just completely neutral right now

except Jiggly amiibo. all of my yes please


also

The Ganondorf Ami IBO is supported by Hyrule warriors and with her can you unlock a new weapon for Ganondorf.

this is my favorite portion of the leaks. guess why


also also, is Ami IBO just some dumb European name for the amiibo line, or is the leaker just being weird? if the former is true, then can one of our European members explain this name?

More amiibo! DK64 for 3ds! Rerelease of rare amiibo! More Majora's Mask New 3DS XL releases! An amazing elite status award for club nintendo!

I want so much, haha.

 

[spCrossing]

I just want information about Star Fox Wii U, that's all.

The original text was in German, then thrown through Google Translate. They're just called "amiibo" here like in all other regions, but Translate does weird stuff like that. Like how "Puzzle & Dragons" became "Jigsaw & Dragons".

Animal Crossing. I can dream.

If a new Ac game gets announced it's gonna be at E3. :c

 

[Yoshisaur]

I just still want physical rewards for their new rewards program. really it's the only thing I care about RN.

We can all dream.

Hm. 6PM EDT is a perfectly fine time for me to watch, even if I have work tomorrow. That is, if I can eat my dinner before that time.

Speaking of which, I'm not going to expect a E3 level of magnitude of excitement but still going to be great on its own.

Actually, better idea: I want nintendo to announce amiibo adaptors for the 3DS XL. Now that would be good news!

Good point. We haven't heard of those since last year's E3. Hopefully it didn't go the same way as the Vitality Sensor.

[Trundle]

All that can really come out at this point of good information for me. I'm excited.

 

[Byngo]

Maybe Nintendo will be cruel and announce tommorow that the direct is an April Fools joke.

All I want is more info about Zelda U and I'd die for a Paper Mario related announcement but I doubt that's something Nintendo is even considering. :x
