Nearly forgot about it :S

Great, I won't miss this one

Very excited for this.

Let's see what amazing old new things they'll share with us

Doubt there'll be anything interesting.

I have class when this starts. -_-

There probably won't be too much exciting, but I'm hoping for at least one nice surprise.
You never really know what to expect with Nintendo Direct.

Looking forward to seeing what random location Shibata and his omnipresent Goomba figure have travelled to today

A few localizations would be greart to hear.

I'd like to see the rumored idea that more GBA games will come to the VC for everyone to purchase. Would also love to see the SNES on the VC.

can we pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease have more tracks in MK7? its maybe not possible? but imagine EVERY track in the entire Mario Kart series being re made in glorious 3D Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

20th November release for Paper Mario.

How long will this be? I'll need to go somewhere at 7:15...

inserttypicall"mybodyisready"-meme

Considering we haven't had anything good in the eShop for a long time and it is a 3DS related presentation on a Thursday, a little "and this will be available in the eShop after the presentation" like they did with Dillon's Rolling Western would be nice... maybe Hana Samurai or something?
I want something good to download.

Pokemon MMO??

Haha I know thats not coming, but would freaking love to see it happen

Aw, really? Why did you remind me that we don't have Majora's Mask 3D yet! I can't go one conference without hoping for an announcement.

Flipnote Memo needs to happen. Seems unlikely though.

I'm guessing the new GBA downloads there's been rumours about recently on the Nintendo EU site, bring on Superstar Saga!

@19Robb92 Does Europe not have Swapnote? That is pretty weak Robb, I don't use it often but it is pretty clever when I need to ask a friend on 3DS a not too important question or tell them something rather non-urgent

Is there a NA ND today?

why no souind twf???ß

Am I the only one without sound?

@Boo_Buster
Yeah, but Flipnote and Swaptnote are two very, very different applications.

I have no sound!

is it just me or is there no sound?

SOUND IS ON YEAHI

And we're off!!

Ahhh no sound!

Ah there it goes. I had to refresh. Try that if you hear nothing.

It'll just be some GBA download games and confirmation of those retail games available for download (at overpriced levels too).

The Goomba made it

oh thank goodness it's back

Thank you bluecat

arg keeps stuttering for me. I will watch it later. :<

Paper Mario Sticker Star release date! Woohoo!

nothing interesting so far

Who's that Pokemon?
It's Slowking!

Video froze on me, good thing we were just on Art Academy!

NO SOUND WTF DUDE?

Did it freeze for everyone?

me too!!!

Well... that was fun.

The video just shut down!

Frozen solid.

Gone T-T

Doesn't work for me either.

oops.....

fail hahahahhahahaa

not funny

Offline

Erm, anyone else having trouble? Seems to have frozen!

all right, who spilled beer on the Pikachu XL... >:3

it froze for me too.

First there was no sound, then it was intermittent, now it's actually off-line

Oh dear!

Video shut down. Sony have stormed HQ and kidknapped Shibata!

That was worth staying up past 4am for.

It says Off Air now in the corner. Seems to be some technical difficulties on their end?

lmao what the heck is going on here. No sound and then the whole thing goes kaput

Is that really it?

Looks like UStream didn't want to listen about Art Academy!

what just happened??? the was shaky before too

that can't be it, @squashiejoshie, for me it crapped out right in the middle of that goomba drawing lesson D:

Think I'll be having some of them Pokemon apps

well that was almost exciting

Still waiting to find out what's 16+ rated.

well at least the comment section on nintendolife still works right?

pikachu broke the stream! lol. XD

It's down on Nintendo's site too, by the way, it's not us!

"The upcoming announcement was so big that the video went down here, there and everywhere (including the Nintendo of Europe page)."

I hope you aren't referring to Art Academy. XD

Are they going to go back online? I need to go in four minutes...

I'll be getting Pokedex 3D Pro

Wha wha whaaaa.

Hopefully it goes back online and picks up where it left off...

I wonder if it will start over or what

Did someone need the loo urgent or something? #ustreambreakdown

@BenAV Probably Castlevania.

Maybe they received too much hate for Luigi's Mansion not releasing until 2013 and Paper Mario releasing a month after the US.

Nintendo continues to not match its rivals in the online department

its 3am for me and all I got was glitch vids and then it stopped on a picture of a goomba.

This stream is Pikachu powered, isn't it?

Drunk Miyamoto spilled Sake all over Shibata's Laptop. Should have backed up those files Nintendo.

Don't blame Pikachu! It was that Goomba!
Hopefully it will continue soon.

"Apologies to everyone trying to watch #NintendoDirectEU via our Ustream page, we're having some difficulties."

nintendo UK apologised on the twitter page @nintendouk

Damn Goombas fault

thought there was something wrong with the computer when it froze

Well we didn't see anything that warranted a Pegi 16 rating, so there was definitely more to see

This is really awkward!

Of course! Blame it on the Goomba. Typical of humans.

Anyone else think the 3D cameras on the Pikachu 3DS are well placed to look like nipples? Maybe the PEGI 16 rating wasn't high enough

I apologise for screaming at my smartphone right now too.

According to their twitter Nintendo is aware of the video problem.

Just found out we do live streams and live blogs.

Thank god I joined NintendoLife

At least it's not my Internet, that would have sucked.

sigh

Good time to watch this Paper Mario trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh-_1LYJXvQ&feature=g-u-u
Haven't seen it before. It shows Bowser Jr. adn other stuff.

@Paul4679

First time I saw the Pickachu 3DSXL I thought the camera made it looked like he had nipples, glad I'm not alone.

And we're back.

C'mon!

No sound

Looks like Nintendo just put another 50p in the meter

No sound anyone?

Video, but no sound...

Cool! I have that same little Goomba figure.

Refresh if you have no sound.

I've got sound.

Style Savvy, just what all us Nintendo fans have been dying to see!

I have sound too

Meh

@bluecat: Thanks for the tip

Sound come back on just in time for Fashion Style Boutique... Yay...

New Pushmo! Yeah!

The video crashed.

Pullblox awesomeness!

New Pushmo. That's cool.

Fallbox! WHere is this NA announcement Reggie? WHERE?!?!?!

New Pullblox....yes!

Failblox?

Sequel to Pushmo. Awesome! Bring it to NA!

My bro's gonna love that.

More sales! I feel like NA is getting their semi-monthly screw job right now. I mean I'm sure we'll get this stuf... well pretty sure... maybe.

I'll already have those reduced price downloads! Art of sword looks good. Hydro venture spincycle, yes!

Nanoassault ex 3ds!

Nice visuals.

Nano Assault is great. Hope the leaderboards get tied together. And can we swap presidents? This guy doesn't say stupid stuff like Reggie does.

Denpasar men! Prof Layton! So many things to spend money on. Uh oh.

heyyyyy, aren't those the Guild01 games??? awesome! do want!

Suda 51 game = S*** gonna get crazy!

oh my god, lucky EU!!! Enjoy Liberation Maiden immediately after the ND!!!

Hang about! Those are on guild01! Yes please. Eshop looks awesome in Q4

Lucky Europe! How about giving us some of those L5 games NoA? ;p

That looks good.

PLEASE ADVANCE WARS 3DS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wii u 3ds connectivity

Awww yeah! It's Slowking!

Giganto green shell trophy attack!!!!

Darn! I thought it was Voltorb...

No Superstar Saga...

What! Lucky UK brothers, that White 3DS XL is what I dream of....

IT WASN'T PIKACHU? FFFFF-

is it just me, or did that shell trophy appear out of nowhere? i swear it wasn't there a few minutes ago haha

Fire Emblem Awakening for Q2 for Europe? Meaning Q3 or Q4 for American then...sigh I want my Fire Emblem already =__=

Excellent nintendo direct. No night sky or project x zone announcements yet thou

Love that white 3DS XL

Great Nintendo Direct. Some sweet eShop games coming (that i don't any money for...).

Nothing about GBA games. Why am I not surprised?

That's it. I'm getting a Game Boy Player. Screw this.

I think I will be downloading Star Fox and Mario Kart (when I have money that is) Shame GBA Games weren't announced.

That lush appearing trophy

@theblackdragon - It did

Well.....I think this sums up the lack of any Virtual Console news, GBA or otherwise:

Well, my guess was pretty good I'd say.

I'm guessing the eShop will crash now?

Decent stuff, nice to see them taking advatage of opportunity to put some games out through e-shop (still want Pokemon Trading Card Game though!)
Will be interesting (and probably depressing) to see the price of a lot of the downloadable titles though...

BUT I do hope those Level 5 games come to NA. I really want to play Aero Porter of all things. XD

Hmm...I wonder when this will make its way to NA.

Oh yeah, the highlight of this Nintendo Direct was definitely the airport game. XD

Has the eShop been updated yet?
If it's there already then I have to change my region to download it.

When will SM3D land / Starfox / Zelda Oot / MK7 be available to download?

@MrArcade Supposedly now I think.

Oh OK cool

Not yet...

Imma go to bed and see the eShop later this morning.

How about Liberation Maiden? Is that there yet?
Not sure if I'm going to need to change my region or if it'll be uploaded to the Australian eShop too.

"Liberation Maiden isn't there yet, patience is a virtue. Guild01 lives, these 3 also coming to NA."

Woo-hoo!

Sure, let's release Luigi's Mansion 2 AFTER Halloween. >.>

@Blizzaga Well, this was a PAL region presentation...
_{Although it'll be the same for America.}

@BenAV Yeah, but still...

It's 5am so trying to decide whether to go to sleep, or wait for the eShop to update and stay up the rest of the night playing Liberation Maiden...
Decisions, decisions.

this is too awesome. i can't even begin to explain how excited i am!!
paper mario, fallblox, hana samurai, denpa men, professor layton, virtue's last reward, monster hunter, guild01!!

need to put in some overtime at work

thanks for this coverage nintendolife! you are quite awesome!!

These idiots, putting up the games as DD at a higher price than retail -.-
Liberation Maiden is already mine anyway

Downloading Liberation Maiden now.
So long, sleep.

40 pounds for games I can get in stores for 20??? Thanks, but no thanks.

Nintendo Europe must be morons. £39.99 for brand new games, such as New Super MArio bros 2, was already ridiculous. Putting games that are months or even over a year old at this point is downright the stupidest decision they could possibly make.

That guy sure has a strong accent.

Nooooo!
It was nearly done, then... "An error has occured," D:
Sleep mode download it is.

Anyone can check how many blocks OoT3D consumes? Pretty please.

(I would check myself, but I don't have enough money on the eShop to get to the point where they actually tell me the block count... or is there another way to check this? I need this information for a small news article on a Zelda site.)

@Linkstrikesback My thoughts exactly. € 44,99 for games you can find in the shops for half the price is just idiotic. Had they put them on DD for like € 30 then I could think about getting Starfox or OoT, but I'm totally not gonna pay the full retail price for months old games :/

Also, Crimson Shroud looks extremely tempting... I fear I'll have to buy a bigger SD sooner than I though

I already knew that SMT: Devil Survivor: Overclocked was coming to Europe this year, I was hoping for an actual release date. Releasing the Guil01 games separatley as 3DSware games is a good idea. Liberation maiden looks awesome but I doubt I'll get the other two. Nano assault EX looks great too!

ah you guys are lucky.. Star Fox and OoT have only just dropped to € 40 here in Norway (they were € 60.. in fact Resident Evil and SML3D still are )
not as big a difference here then but they are still cheaper in physical game shops.

as for everyone hating on Aero Porter... it's Yoot Saito! the man is a legend. i will be trying that out for sure.

For the price of a retail game on eshop you can get skyrim right now with its paid dlc and still have about £10 change :/

ah well i see that SML3D is about €14 cheaper on the downloads than it is in the shops here. i kinda like boxes, covers and cartridges though
but i also love buying downloads like Pullblox and Mighty Switch Force. ah damnit it's a catch 22 i tell ya.

what happens if your SD card somehow corrupts? does that mean you lose your purchases? would you have to buy them all over again??

You can re-download all of your purchases at any time.

@Bluezealand thanks for the heads-up!!

but you have to connect your Nintendo account to your 3DS somehow?
i don't think we have a club Nintendo here in Norway so i'm not sure how that works. will figure it out though.

You only need to connect your 3DS with a Nintendo account, if you want to collect the 500 Nintendo Stars. Otherwise, it doesn't matter. Every 3DS has its own eshop-account, so you won't have problems with re-downloading, as long as your 3DS isn't broken.

@Bluezealand ah that's a relief. been worried about that lately. thanks

@wuuds: you're welcome

on the Nano Assault Trailer i thought "OH MY GOD! ENGLISH"
