DIRECTLY from Nintendo's Twitter account, there will be a Direct tomorrow at 3PM PDT.

For sure I bet we will hear about the 2nd Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack and the Mewtwo DLC/upcoming Wii U content for Smash as well. More Splatoon news likely as well. Would be nice to hear more about Yoshi's Wolly World and Mario Maker as well.

I mean, I know people complain about Day 1 DLC in a "why not just put it in the game" sort of way, but I think Nintendo's strategy of "here's DLC 6 months later for some reason" is just as stupid. Like, how does Mewtwo take this long. Also, was 6 months really required to make 8 new tracks for Mario kart 8 and a few more cosmetic options? And then another 6 months for another 8 tracks and cosmetic options?

I feel like the Mario Kart DLC could've been like 3 months and 3 months, instead of 6 months and 6 months.

MOTHER 3 BEING LOCALISED AND RELEASED ON 3DS!

lolaprilfools.

:(

I just want to know when I can start making stupid levels in Mario Maker. Been needing something to bring me back to the Wii U.

LESS THEN ONE HOUR

the problem is I want to watch both this and the Unplugged...

I want to see Mario Maker and also some Splatoon. Also thanks for this, would totally have missed it!

This Direct will be dedicated to all of Nintendo's new phone games I'm calling it.

What's that? SMT x FE dated for mid-June? Dang Nintendo, way to exceed my expectations. (Ha, not really)

I find it inconceivable that Unplugged is going to start on time, so at least you can watch some of the Nintendo Direct.

American Direct link

Smash Bros. DLC characters yesssssssssss

Wtf was up with that Forrest Gump reference...

Mewtwo got a release date so this started off well

Then they went straight to costume DLC -.-

Smt x Fire Emblem looks cool

Lucas for Smash is awesome

PATCH FOR CODE NAME: STEAM TO ALLOW X2 ENEMY TURN SPEEDS OMG YES.

Something about that Fire Emblem X SMT trailer made me really glad that my fascination with Japanese media was mostly a phase. Maybe it was all the panties.

Donkey Kong 64 on VC! Holy shit, I KNEW that was going to be their Earthbound-esque pick up for N64. I mean yeah, if they could get any other Rare N64 games (Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, Conker, etc) they'd be bigger Wii U VC exclusives than DK64 but since they're not really feasible DK64 is the best one you can get!

I will totally buy Donkey Kong 64 again. Also I'll upgrade the previous VC N64 games I got.

(Sidenote: Though I haven't played Smash since 2014 I'm excited for Lucas. Loved how he played in Brawl. Also I plan to tell Sakurai to put K. Rool or Dixie in Smash.)

I am totally for manga, and anime, but wtf was that trailer of SMT X Fire Emblem? I literately said "what the f*ck is this weebo game" then Bill says it's SMT X Fire Emblem........uhhhh all the more JRPG'S though!

Hmmm I don't know why but that SMT x Fire Emblem trailer really didnt do anything for me :/

Fire Emblem HYPE. 2016 for NA was no surprise though.

200cc THE DREAM

200cc Class for Mario Kart 8 holy shit. It's not F-Zero fast, but some of those jumps and drifts looked pretty nuts. I hope the computer isn't stupid broken in that mode, but I found it pretty surprising.

It did almost veer into "Tales of" territory in terms of silly character designs.

Fatal Frame! Ain't no party like a japanese ghost party.

He didn't call it "5" though, maybe they'll frame it as a reboot/starting point since this is the first one to release on a Nintendo console here.

Looks less SMT and more persona...which i am ok with.

Yeah, it looked like Persona X FE, but not with original Persona-ish characters and not anyone from P3 or P4.

Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem looks super weird, not what I was expecting from when they announced that, not saying it looks bad or anything but I dunno it doesn't look like any of the games are crossing over more like we took the weirdest things from both, still is one of the few games that makes me want to buy a Wii U but that thing isn't coming anytime soon, so let's wait and see.

Yup, they figured out how to get me to want an Amiibo...just make it out of yarn.

Strangely interested by 200cc Mario Kart. And like everyone else, confuzzled by SMT x FE...I sure hope the FE connection goes beyond a few characters.

Everyone go vote for Geno. Even though it would probably never happen.

I had to watch the Persona 5 trailer again today to offset whatever the hell that SMT x FE thing was.

Well they completely dropped Shin Megami Tensei from the Japanese name. 幻影異聞録 #FE, 幻影 means illusion, so maybe there is more to it.

Or they just kinda spun in the wrong way when they initially teased it. To me this game looks like a massive attempt to increase interest for Wii U in Japan.

As for the 200 cc Mario Kart, I still play 8 quite a bit and the only complaint I ever had is that it could be faster, now it is!
