I'll be watching...

I hope Reggie won't dissapoint us.

Best way to avoid disappointment is to stop expecting excitement.

What. We're stuck with James again?? Handsome Swedish panda is way cooler.

I hope something new is revealed, cause if they just show the games they showed during the e3 3ds games thing ill be disappointed...Honestly I'd Be happy with just 1 new Nintendo IP

Here we go again James you stayed up again anticpating Animal Crossing correct? LOL I am not holding my breath this time but fingers are crossed.

Anyone know how long the presentation will be?

Why can't Americans view the stream here? My old Android 2.2 laptop can't view the videos at the official Nintendo Direct website.

@TheSolarKnight
The Last one was a half hour so.... I guess around that long

22 minutes long.

Stop expecting new game announcements. It's unlikely, and It'll get your hopes up too high...

Wait. I wanna see the rage. Never mind, over-expect guys.

Most anyone should dare to hope for are localizations.

...I like to be disappointed...

I could see a few localisation announcements, but nothing that hasn't been released elsewhere.

@pixelman
Like Culdcept 3ds? I will take that

Get ready guys cause tonight I'm gonna get really pissed if this turns out to be a crappy Nintendo Direct. Last time things got crazy was E3 2012 and believe me, things GOT crazy.

If I had a nickle for ever time someone said "My Body Is Ready"...

"23:05: Six hours to go."
Wut?

@ocarinadude14
You're just jeoleous of my body because it's more ready than yours.

My Body Is Ready. It's Ready for disappointment

Gotta love disappointment. It's apart of being a Nintendo Fan!

@ocarinadude14
Tell me about it, ITS AWESOME!!!

@ocarinadude14 you'd have zero nickles so far tonight...

My Body Is Ready, AND I feel like a purple pikmin

1 NICKEL! AH YAH!

Expect absolutely nothing to be talked about.

Now you can't be disappointed! There's no way you can.

bring it on

My body feels just like a purple pikmin preparing to kick arse and take names.

I'm calling a 3DS XL and a third party helping with SSB3D.

The presentation will be 22 minutes acording to the official site.

@pixelman
Namco is helping with SSB3DS

My body is ready

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dxa-pU_VoeFg&v=xa-pU_VoeFg&gl=US

My eyes are ready.

@SuperSonic95 Play nice.

NOOOOO... NINTENDO UNVEILED A BIGGER 3DS!!!

http://nintendo3dsblog.com/nintendo-reveals-a-new-larger-3ds/

@SuperSonic95
Learn to stop being an a-hole.

@Zergling Shhh we're not supposed to know that yet.

STOP SPOILING GAWSH.

So...It seems there WILL be some good announcements...

@James your avatar isn't showing.

@PrimedMetroid
If that's real, Im disappointed in Nintendo

I was merely jesting. I do apologise for my irksome behaviour.

@pixelman
Gameinformer told me haha

Just watched Japan's Nintendo Direct and it was better than E3!!

@Zergling Yeah, I've just been watching my twitter blowup, haha.

Less than 5 minutes until the NA Nintendo Direct!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HYPE!

Dies

Auto comments, too?

I hope Dragon Quest X (Wii) and Pandora's Tower (Wii) will be announced for North America.

Dear God! The lack of a second analog stick is horrendous!

A bigger 3DS? CRAP.

Lets hope for some Flipnote Memo info.

3DS XL is real? Holy crap!

Alright its midnight! Where's the Direct Nintendo?! xD

I sense "Ambassador Program-Take Two".

Here wii go!

Here We Go

I cant belive that they wont have a second circle pad on the 3DS XL totally not worht it.

@Jaco Come on, it's just like the DSi XL. Personally I would be very irritated if they released one with the second analog built in. What a total screw over for those who bought the original 3DS already. This was made so you can have a bigger screen, not a superior version to the original.

Hope the battery is better on this one though.

I thought because I read there wouldn't be a new 3DS with a second circle pad that meant there wouldn't be a new 3DS. I was wrong.

Better battery life!!

@Retr_acro
Ya I see your point, plus it introduces 3ds to a different audience, i hope the resolution isn't better though

One game I wanna hear more about is Code of Princess. Darn it, I'm so interested in that game now that it's localized! X(

What about 3DS XL's Circle Pad Pro?

I wish it had a second circle pad but damn, that is a really nice and HUGE screen. Also, if it has improved battery life I am definitely getting one.

yawn................................

@Jaco Yeah, now that would definitely suck, even if it makes games look better. I would be stuck with a crappier 3DS unless I cough up some cash.

Nintendo now owes us 5 3D Virtual Boy VC Games.

Naw, just kidding. That would be cool, though!

Boooooo. Adventure Time. Booooo.

holy ^^^^ demo!!

My wallet isn't ready.

KH DDD demo! AW YEAH!

Rhythm Thief demo. YES!

Professor Layton 5. DOUBLE YES!

professer layton looks good on the 3ds xl

Kingdom Hearts 3D : Dream Drop Distance demo! This Nintendo Direct did a turn-around so quickly! Finally!

Demoooo! Yeeeaah!

Yes! Professor Layton!!!!!!!!!!!!

smash bros!!!!

Does Namcos involvement in Smash mean Tales characters in SMASH??!!!

Flipnote Memo Flipnote Memo

This is such a weird format, I prefer Japan's Nintendo Direct format.

flip note memo tonight will be awesome

DAMNIT! I can't live stream on my Kindle! The updates are nice though.

Beware James...Kirby will swallow you whole for that comment.

How dare you James!? KIRBY ROCKS!

@James Kirby isn't rubbish.

no

@James
morons

I'll definitely get it. The 3ds XL comes out a day after my mother's birthday.

I'm definitely passing on 3DS XL. No point since my 3DS works fine.

Coin Rush seems interesting, I like it

Pissed about the 3DSXL coming out so soon. At least another year would've been nice -_-.

I'm getting it. I mean, dat screen! I'll buy it, transfer, and then sell. I'm a sucker for Nintendo.

If the 3DS can be used as a controller for the Wii U the XL will be perfect.

This guy's favorite Kirby game is Kirby's Adventure. I'd like to buy him a beer.

F***ING FIRE EMBLEM!!

Eww Fire Emblem next year :l

Mario DLC! Nice!

I'm disappointed in Ninendo -____-

Im downloading Mario day one

Why was this not said at E3! It would've made it so much better.

WARIO LAND!

that old game should be .99 cents !:{

The 3DSXL looks kind of...dumb.

WOOOOT Warioland next month!!!!

Reggie's doing great here!

Looks like Nintendo's stepping up their game.

thought they were going to announce flipnote memo, crap

Ugh 'this fall'. I hate that! JUST GIVE A PROPER DATE!!!

A sale on Super Mario Land? Two VC games a week? Wario Land?

I need to wipe myself down.

Pokemon Dream Radar will be awesome 8D

Super Mario Land is going to be on sale.

They seriously couldn't have mentioned any of these things during their 3DS showcase?

@RevolverLink I KNOW RIGHT?!!

This was going fantastic until pokemon.

really want to get some rest, but I dont want to miss anything

@iPancakez shush Pokemon is everything.

oh perfect timing it ended buenas noches and goodbye

no animal crossing...
oh well, it wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be

Ah, so Homika's English name is Roxie. That's fitting.

"00:21: This is a revelation.00:21: Wow, there's running around! And the Pokémon ARE BATTLING!"I lol'd. xDAnyways this was "meh".

5th July - 1st August will see two 3DS VC games every week!

I'm happy with this

@BulbasaurusRex I agree.

Oh yeah. I know what im getting on Auguest 19

3DS XL looks bloody aweful...

just watch the japanese one for animal crossing
someone should post it on youtube or something

@iPancakez How dare you.
@BulbasaurusRex I don't get it. Is Roxie have something to do with poison or something?

I don't know how I feel about the 3DS XL thing. First a price cut on the original 3DS and now a newer model so soon :l

Wow, that was actually about 20 times better/more exciting than Nintendo's E3 this year. The LL is unnecessary, but it doesn't effect me since I already have a 3DS :3

No Animal Crossing? Gotta check the jap. one tomorrow

That 3DS XL does look more toy-like than the original.

@Contrary I thin it has more to do with her being a rocker chick.

Well that was better than I expected. Sad about Fire Emblem being 2013
But WARIO LAND!! YES!

Alright then, so all in all, I enjoyed it! I can't wait for the Nintendo Direct that reveals the Wii U price and release date! I just hope that one doesn't keep me up until 12:30 am...

Pac-Man confirmed for Smash 4!

Oh Reggie...2 3DS VC games each week? I forgive you not making a White 3DSLL.

....and no Animal Crossing. Well at least Fire Emblem was confirmed...for 2013. Why do I even get my hopes up anymore.

Overall its was better than E3. I am disappointed on the 3DSXL but glad to have heard the release date for Epic Mickey on the 3DS and that Warioland is coming next month.

At the moment, I'm most excited for the Kingdom Hearts 3D Demo. I'm going to download it RIGHT NOW!

What happened to you, Nintendo? You used to be so great...

2 VC games a week starting July first ! That's so close! VC LIVES!

This was much better than the 3DS showcase at E3.

@Arcamenel Oh I did not think of that. Thank you for clearing that up.

I guess The Last Story will be the last AAA Wii release in NA after all.

Professor Layton confirmed for release this year and I will have a bigger screen to play it on. That's all I care about.

Nintendo's e3 conference should have been like this, less explaining more footage and announcements

That ladies and gentlemen is what you call an exemplary presentation.

I'm not getting that 3DSXL but won't it drastically ruin the DS graphics?

Hurray for no AC. Hurray!

Fire Emblem release date is 2013 as expected. I'm also excited about the KH demo because I'm on the fence about buying it...!

So in July we are getting 8 3DS VC which include Kirby's Pinball and Wario Land awesome.

Now this is what E3 should've been. If they had combined all this info with the Pikmin 3 and Nintendo Land presentations; the Scribblenauts Unlimited, Arkym City: Armored Edition, and Mass Effect 3 announcements; and the fact that Wii U supports 2 GamePads; Nintendo would've run away with E3 rather than merely winning by default.

Also, Danica Patrick in Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed!!!!! Maybe the Mayans were right...

I already have a nyko battery pack so battery life isn't a big thing for me but a 90% bigger screen is really nice >_<. DAMN YOU NINTENDO

I'm kinda mad. So my 3DS is gonna be obsolete in like 3 months? And there's NO NEW NEWS AT ALL about Animal Crossing? Shew. It's times like these I just wanna tell Reggie and all the other guys at Nintendo that I have a PS3 and it's not so bad...

This is better then E3, in some ways. And no, it won't be obsolete. I prefer small screens.

I just watched the end of the European one. Their Animal Crossing news was that it won't be releasing in the first half of 2013. Wow.

How would this make your 3DS obsolete? You can still use it just the same, it just has a smaller screen >_>

@grumblebuzz Technically there was new AC info. In Japan.

Hang on a second I just saw a tweet a minute ago stating that there will be a second Nintendo direct soon that will focus on Wii/WiiWare and the DS? Can someone confirm whether or not this is true?

Uh, I'd have to buy a new one. That makes it obsolete.

The final question is: Red or Blue?

gold or silver?

Ruby or Sapphire?

Diamond or Pearl?

This new Animal Crossing better be an enormous step forward for the series to have been pushed back so long.

I don't know what's going on.

Except you don't have to buy a new one to do anything. Your choice. Not obsolete.

I agree with @revolverlink though. I was sad when it wasn't announced (news or anything) at E3 2011 or 2012 and now it is just pushed back.

@grumblebuzzz Uh, no you don't?

Yeah I do, if I want the best product on the market. And plus I'm old! I've always thought the 3DS' screens were too small. Bah. Eff.

I really don't understand why they wanna keep releasing bigger models of handheld devices. Pretty soon they won't be very portable. :/ I was really hoping for either a slightly SMALLER 3DS or at least a sleeker one... but bigger DOES NOT mean better. I'm hugely disappointed. :/

I'm not buying another 3DS. I bought the first, knowing that there would be an upgrade that I wasn't patient enough for. Now that I have it, I will not trade up. My Ford Fiesta is paid off and running well. I don't see a reason to shell out another 5 grand for a Chevy Malibu with tinted windows. Show Reggie all the love you want, but in the end, he and his cronies are salespeople. They learn about the games, so that they can sell them to you, not always because that's their passion. Does Reggie have a degree in gaming or business??. "Sir, I am an Eskimo.....I have no need for your icecubes as I'm already holding snow. --But you don't understand! Solid, see through snow is the frozen wave of the future. Purchase some and you'll receive a free bottle of ketchup, with 1 year of free condiment updates"

How glad am I that they just announced ANOTHER Pokemon game with a VERY MINOR upgrade (this one being larger than any other). Not very. Retro and Intelligent need to get together. Metroid went from 2D to full and fantastic 3D in ONE game. Pokemon has slowly crept from B/W 2D to Color "over the shoulder 2D" in 58 games **sarcasm/exaggeration**. They could've advanced a long time ago, but where is the money in that. As long as people keep buying a new installment for 10 new monsters and the same story in a different region with different people, why spend a lot of time making it better? It's good business, but sh*tty for the gamer. They won't change until they get some serious competition or somebody seriously hurts their wallet.

Qwikman_N_Bass - I kind of agree with you, I'm looking at that and asking myself Why?!?!?! The current model is perfect for my pocket and I carry it everywhere I go to streetpass, theres no way that the XL is fitting in my pocket. I was also wondering with all that extra space not only for the screen, but also for the controls why didn;t they include a second circle pad? I really could care less about using a second onemyself, but you would think that adding one would be a no brainer to help out those who do want to play Icarus or Monster Hunter, etc.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition pictured
Kirby's rubbish though so nobody cares.
