Game & Wario release date, please.

That and release dates for Animal Crossing, Pikmin 3, and Wonderful 101 would be very much appreciated!

It's said to be about first party games and new "services" related to the Wii U...................

So almost surely more details on known titles like Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3, Game & Wario etc. Then probably the best bet for "services" it's probably the Virtual Console. What else would it be?

Paranormaveiw or what ever and google maps?

Didn't they say new games too? Maybe we'll see one or two new First-party games hinted at or shown a small trailer of, like Zelda(although it'd be nice if they saved that for E3)

@MrWalkieTalkie Animal Crossing is 3DS not Wii U

That doesnt mean they cant at least give us a release date. Just let me have this! XD

Awesome, and it's at a nice conveniant time for me to watch it too!

Um... considering it's a Wii U Nintendo Direct, then no, that does mean that they can't at least give us a release date.

oooo im excited now. better be some good news!

Hopefully we get some bombs dropped ahead of the Surango and Or is annoucments.

Fine.

They'll announce AC WiiU for a world wide release on March 1st before the 3DS one comes to the states and Europe

I'm trying not to hold my breath for an actual new game announcement (Smash Bros. ALWAYS pops into my head when I hear these kinds of things, despite me knowing better then to suspect such a reveal this early on). But otherwise, a release date for Pikmin 3 would make my day.

Hey, I wanna see a release date for it too... but I expect that sometime in March or April we'll hear a release date.

I didn't think of that, maybe it is.... or both at once even. Should be interesting whatever it is especially given how the last one went down.

Yeah it might be those sadly, but I'd rather it be GCN VC but considering the Paranormaveiw is coming out for free around spring, that's what I'm expecting

My thoughts precisely.

We also need the combining of eShops and purchases announced sometime ! Or maybe the elimination of wii mode and data transfered to WiiU menu

If any of the following happens, I would be pleased:
1. Game & Wario release date in March
2. Wii U Virtual Console reveal and release date with GamePad support and Gamecube games
3. At least one major game annoucement such as a new Donkey Kong Country or Yoshi's Island
4. Wii U Panorama View and Google Maps release dates
I'm going to stay cautiously optimistic with the new game annoucements, though, so I don't get disappointed.
