Nintendo Direct March 3rd 2016

[Paperboy012305]

That is up right now, and its gaining dislikes already.

 

[Shimmer]

This is why I don't get excited for directs anymore.

 

[Hyoshido]

So happy for the SNES VC on 3DS, A shame you can't get the games free if you already have them on Wii U though.

Also happy for Monster Hunter and Fates finally having a damn EU release date.

^^^ Because everyone is a bunch of babies and have high expectations. Do you all realize they just announced a direct 2 days ago? We're lucky to even get one, damn. LOL

That was pretty ****ty. Mostly just reminding us that games we already knew about still exist.

I look forward to the Kirby game though, and Monster Hunter X (even though that's nothing new, I just didn't expect a Western release of it so soon). Paper Mario I have no strong opinion on since I've not played the others, but that paint mechanic seemed pretty 'meh'.

Not that I didn't like the games shown, just that "hey, look this thing you probably already have your eye on from our last Direct. It's still a thing!" isn't interesting.
At least the last Direct had the excuse that a lot of the new announcements got leaked, which did spoil the surprise. This one just barely had anything to spoil in the first place.



What I took away from it though is that there is absolutely no good reason for them to split Fire Emblem Fates into 3 separate games since it was directly said that all 3 games in the special edition will be on one cart, whilst beforehand most people were under the assumption they wouldn't. I'm not taking the "well it's a big game" thing as an excuse, lots of games could claim the same thing, they're just pushing their luck.

Where's the Mario Kart 8 DLC. I hope they are not killing the game.

They said ages ago they were done with Mario Kart 8 DLC.

You're pretty much just begging to be left disappointed if you're holding out for more MK8 DLC.

Where did you hear that from?

Because people somehow still think every Direct is going to be 100% hype. The next Direct will likely be the E3 presentation, and people will be just as disappointed then, same as last year.

Fates is the first Nintendo game that I see as a sellout. With Pokemon games, there's two versions to encourage trading (= player interaction), and an eventual third for added features. I don't want to buy multiple games just to get ~the full story~, while the gameplay is casual as hell compared to earlier installments.
Can't believe people are eating that **** up.

I'm pretty sure the dislikes are from the new Paper Mario game

Where did you hear that from?

They said it around the time the second DLC pack launched iirc so over a year ago give or take

[himeki]

allow me to lose all faith

 

[Venn]

It was the Federation Force main dev talking about how the game will be the third collab with Next Level Games, the other two being Super Mario Strikers and Punch-Out on the Wii

:O I got a little excited.
Almost though they be remaking it or something. I loved Strikers Charged.

 

[himeki]

wait when is the fates release? different places are saying different dates

 

[Hyoshido]

20th of May for us.

 

[Tao]

Where did you here that from?

I would find sources, but I'm in such a lazy mood right now.

I don't want to buy multiple games just to get ~the full story~, while the gameplay is casual as hell compared to earlier installments.

It's Nintendo. There's a hell of a lot of people that would defend Nintendo often ****ty actions even if Miyamoto personally came to their house and stole their kidneys.

20th of May for us.

Thanks for confirming, places are saying different.

WELP misses my birthday so bye wallet.

The fiscal report released by Nintendo in early May 2015 mentioned that SSB4 and MK8 would be continued to be supported with DLC in 2015. The report was probably written around the time that the second MK8 DLC pack was still planned to release in May 2015, before the release was pulled ahead to April 23rd.
I can't find a source for Nintendo saying there would be no more MK8 DLC, but if they did, it's obvious where the confusion started. They just should have reacted to the mass "more MK8 DLC planned!!" reporting to clear it up.

Me too, maybe they'll make a new Strikers game after Federation Force is finished
