Topic: 2016 Nintendo Directs Discussion - September 1st 3DS Direct Confirmed!

Hoping that Splatoon amiibos leak was real and we get info about it along with Splatoon release date. I doubt it was real, but I do want a releasee date already!

Sod that what about the N64 one? That was promised at/before the launch of the Wii U VC.

Well they went straight to Wii from GBA so maybe both are cancelled.

We got N64 VC on the Wii, the DS VC is brand new.

TBH don't really care about the DS VC, would rather see it on the 3DS.

I'd honestly like to see them start releasing DS games on the 3DS eShop, though I don't think it will happen. The main reason for them releasing Wii games on the Wii U eShop (other than more money) was so that people could play them straight from the Wii U menu instead of having to load up a separate menu first. With DS games you can play them straight from the 3DS menu already.

However, DS games are becoming increasingly harder to find new. These days I only really ever see shovelware or Pokemon on store shelves. Releasing them on the 3DS eShop would be excellent for finding some of the many hidden gems in the DS's vast library.

also turbo was announced for 3ds in 2011 and only japan has them so far that may be released or more game gear, game boy, and game boy color with some colcovision and some genesis games and most of them will come from Sega,Capcom,Konami,and Natusme games being 80 % of the games with some Nintendo games that will come a year later hope for Neo Geo pocket games

Let's see if it's announced. If there is one on Wednesday, it will likely be announced later tonight/early tomorrow morning.

Wait Mario Maker has a summer release now? My memory is crappy...and even worse right now because of sickness. >.>

It's listed as "2015". We'll probably hear about it at E3.

Was hoping it to be released around Splatoon's date. :c
(which is funny seeing how I thought Splatoon would be released in the summer. xD)

Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Mario Maker released on the eShop right after the E3 presentation with a retail release soon after.

If it is on Wednsday it better be before 6 cause I have a 4 hour class.

Nintendo obviously wants Mario Party 10 and Amiibo to sell well because the fiscal year finishes at the end of March. They already posted commercials for the game (crazy!) and have given out review copies to Youtubers. I'm not sure when we'll see the next Nintendo Direct.

Seems like that if we do have a direct it will be NEXT Wednesday at the earliest, as we haven't had any confirmation yet. Of course there have been a few times that I recall having one on a Thursday oddly enough, and that might be a possibility.

Looking at this helpful list of Directs [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_Direct_presenta... ], there rarely seems to be a Direct in March so I guess that would suggest that no Direct will happen until at least early April.

Since the most recent one was in mid-January, I'd say there's one coming up soon. Especially if they plan to hold a Splatoon Direct in April (expecting Splatoon to be a mid-May release with Puzzle & Dragons on the same day).

Probably soon:

Looking at that guy's profile, I get the distinct impression that he may be a Sony fanboy messing with our poor hearts. I sure as hell hope not, though.
