@brewsky: Yes, they technically do, but it's not officially recognized by our state. Thanks for the info though as I really had to search to see whether or not it was true and I live in the darned state lol. xD
So about that Direct coming in less than 2 hours, anyone got any predictions? EtikaWN was putting them on Bingo cards, which is a pretty amazing idea, actually.
Here are my (genuine, this time I promise) predictions:
-Introduction from the new company president, Tatsumi Kimishima
-Tribute to the late Satoru Iwata
-Smash Update
-Two Smash Ballot characters, one to be released next month, the other for around next February. As for who they are, I'd say Shantae, Shovel Knight and King K Rool could well be the top three, though I think Shantae might've been a case of a "very loud minority" but that's just me. At the end of the day, it was made clear the Smash Ballot was a "suggestion box", but I think demand certainly would make a difference.
-Wolf
-Vastly improved Tournament mode, offline mode etc.
-Vastly improved Stage Builder, placeable blocks, ladders, most Smash Run enemies, threadmills, Ferris wheels, drag parts you've already drawn around, etc.
-Special 8-Player Brawl
-More stages, such as Magicant on Wii U (3DS got Duck Hunt for no reason, so why not?)
-Twilight Princess HD, as a Wii U exclusive and swansong. I have almost zero interest in this, if it's anything like the last two Zelda remakes (pointless artstyle change, if that new image of Link is anything to go by), but I can't deny the likelihood after the various leaks and hints
-Badge Arcade explaination
-M&L Paper Jam Trailer
-Mario Tennis Wii U update
-Xenoblade X English trailer
-FE: Fates EU + NA release date, trailer and bundle details
-"FE x SMT" release date
-Metroid Prime: Federation Force, slightly more detailed, realistic graphics, gameplay more like previous games, more traditional multiplayer mode. Samus cameo
-Zelda U: Progress update, maybe some small story details, nothing else. No mention of NX version just yet.
-GameCube "VC", finally (as the Wii U has a Wii ducktaped to its back, it can almost run GameCube games natively, but some parts need to be emulated. Basically, rip off Nintendon't, it won't require much work)
-Splatoon Update, leaked stage, Octolings
-Info on Nintendo Account
-Minecraft Wii U
Apparently yacht club is going to have a ama (is that what they are called) on reddit after the direct. I saw this a few posts down on their Twitter feed.
It's starting now, so don't expect any news to come out of that AMA relating to this Direct.
