@NinFreak Don't think we will get anything Pokemon related. I think we will get an Animal Crossing : New Leave release date.

@MrValtor If that was the case, then there would be no reason for a Nintendo Direct. It's safe to assume that they have more news than that.

Would love to see some footage from Lego City 3DS, and of course a hint at the new Zelda 3DS game!

News about the 3DS Zelda would be a great consolation for this lonely guy on Valentine's Day. :)

What I would love would be X and Y info, New Leaf release date and an announcement of a new title.
^Not that far off since all of them are having it at the same time which means they just might have something important up their sneaky sleeves ^_^

But what's more realistic, Love Plus! I CALL IT NOW! X'D (Valentine pun intended)

I have a feeling there will be no surprises here. Just details on already known games. Maybe some new eshop titles now that I think about it- but nothing too exciting. ... I think I'm becoming very cynical in my old age!

Not sure if I'm expecting too much new stuff from this presentation but you never know.
Some localisation news would be quite welcome.
Still waiting for Bravely Default and Fantasy Life, among others.

Not expecting much too... Just some release dates for the upcoming Nintendo games and maybe some eShop games. But I'd gladly welcome one or two suprises as well!

My 3DS needs some new game love. Currently playing SM3DL but nearly 100% complete. Just a few more coins to find.
I hope we are getting some games really soon other than the ones already announced.
Hopefully a release date for Wonderfull 101 too.

(^_^) I hope for a game to be released in less than two weeks. I doesn't have to be a game that I don't know about, as long it's one I want to buy. Like Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, Code of Princess, Fire Emblem, even Pokémon mystery dungeon 3DS or something else.

Maybe it's the BOMB and they announce:

  • release dates in EU for all JP 3DS games not announced yet
  • 2 completely new IPs
  • Starfox 3D (true sequel)
  • FZero G-Force
  • Zelda A link to the Future (3D)
  • Zelda Majoras Mask remake
  • Fire Emblem DLCs
  • Patch for Heroes of Ruin fixing endgame
  • DIY kit to fit an extra analogue stick into your 3DS XL (sorry original 3DS)
  • Code of Princess release date in EU
  • 100 new tracks and 20 new characters for Mario Kart 7 based off the in-production Smash Bros Melee

... if you haven't noticed this far, Im not being serious. Im just excited! :D

Majoras Mask 3D and internet will explode? Well could very well be since its shaken in its foundation after all those Aliens:Colonial Marines Reviews went online! :D

@dudey300 That's what I'm hoping for.
Probably the best announcement that we might possibly get... but still a long shot I'd say unfortunately.
Still, fingers crossed.

Or if not Bravely Default, then at least Fantasy Life please.

Oh god I'd prefer a Metroid Prime 3DS with proper controls over anything else I suppose. But I predict: it will be a "soso" Direct, not as awesome as the last Wii U one! ;)

A lot of news what wasn't expected. Nintendo is speeding up with the 3DS. To much games to play now. :-)
To bad that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon comes after I went on a holiday otherwise it was nice to play it in the plane. Now I have to play Animal Crossing and PMD at the same time, a very nice problem!

I always said thet should've waited to release DK Country on 3DS. No sense in porting it now.

3rd party support is still lackluster, but at least the eshop will have strong titles.

Honestly I'm dissapointed, where's Bravely Default? Where's Dragon Quest VII? Where's Beyond the Labirynth, except the great bundle packs, few confirmations of release (vide: FE, AC, Project x Zone) the only " totally new" not yet announced title was the Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, so in comparison with latest Wii U Direct, this ND was really nothing special ;/ (next year will be the year of Wario, and in 2 years it will be again a year of Mario, for god's sake Nintendo you have something more than DK, Mario, Luigi and Pokemon and I really hope that in E3 they will show me new Metroid and Zelda and from third party I will finally be able to buy great jRPGs that Japanese gamers are already playing it.,...

At last a proper release date for AX New Leaf.

Hmmm.... I know they said it was 3DS based but I was hoping for at least an acknowledgement along the lines of 'we have heard your complaints about the PAL virtual console and are looking into it...'

Oh well :(

Mario and Luigi series looks a little... iffy. Though, I am excited for Luigi's Mansion 2 and Mario Golf. I look forward on this.
