Nintendo Direct Reaction Thread (Jan 14th 2015)

I'M SALTIER ABOUT THIS
they didn't even release a white new 3ds xl ;_;

I find the 3ds XL to be too large! It's supposed to be portable, not "I have to make room in my bad because this thing doesn't fit"
 
oh well, saves us two hundred dollars

True that. I'm hoping that sometime before summer they'll be like "Oh, btw, the normal one will be here in like 3 weeks." Maybe the launch of the smaller one and the faceplates is too big a project for Ninten-NO right now.
 
Something I just thought about:
What if they released Brawl or Mariokart or another Wii game that had Wi-Fi? Could we potentially play online on those games again?
 
No. Wi-fi would be disabled for all Wii games, as the games are programmed differently.

That is, if Nintendo is too lazy to fix the Wi-Fi portion of a re-released Wii game. If homebrew developers altered which Wi-Fi server(s) the game will find to have the online function, then Nintendo can pull this trick. That is, if the infrastructure of Nintendo Network can even support that.

It's not lazy of them to not fix something that isn't broken. it's off.
 
To be honest, I don't care about face-plates. Or it fitting it in my pockets. I'm just going to get the New 3DS XL.

they are EU/PAL (excluding AU/NZ) - those are the only codes out atm

Darn it. I was hoping they were US codes.

Ness Amiibo.

Made my life.

Also pretty excited for that new 3DS Fire Emblem title. And Splatoon customizations that can be purchased with special in-game money you earn from playing instead of having to buy it in the e-shop or something. A++
 
Australian MH4U demo codes have gone out coz I just got one
 
I thought it was aight.
Highlights being the MM3DS and Marth restock announcement.
I also think that Mario puzzle game looks sweet.
 
Since they are releasing wii games, I wonder if they will re-release Xenoblade.

Isn't that what they're releasing for the new 3ds?? It'd be so pointless to make it avaliable for wii from a marketing perspective
 
I loved the (European) Direct! Looking forward to the new Fire Emblem and Majora's Mask especially :) I kind of expected a MM New 3DS/XL, but I didn't want to buy a New 3DS - at least not that early... now I'm reeeeeally tempted...

I'm really sorry for you American folks who wanted the regular New 3DS though. I can only imagine they'll release it eventually in America. Why wouldn't they?!?

I may as well tear my wallet in half, because by the time Nintendo's done with me, there's just going to be nothing left to put in there.

I'm getting the New 3DS XL. Fitting it in my pocket has never been a concern for me, because nothing ever fits in my pocket, and I always want to carry so much on me that no matter where I go, I have a fairly large bag.

I'm extremely excited about the new Fire Emblem title. I hope I can get my hands on it relatively soon. In the meantime, though, I'll be playing the Majora's Mask remake. I never had the money to play the original back when it first came out, so I'm glad I'll finally be able to own it.

Splatoon is something I've been keeping my eye on since E3, it looks really fun and it's getting a lot of love already.

I've been interested in Codename S.T.E.A.M. but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. It does look really fun though, and being able to have Fire Emblem characters in there seems fun.

Speaking of which, I really need the Robin and Lucina amiibos. However, I do wish there was a female Robin version. Since they're coming up with special Mario amiibos, maybe we'll get a female Robin later down the line.
