Topic: 2016 Nintendo Directs Discussion - September 1st 3DS Direct Confirmed!

@DefHalan I second that vote. Also, I've never played the original Starfox, so I'd gladly take it. Then again, I thought there were legal issues because of the Super FX Chip, so...Starfox 64 it is.

I'm sure SF64 is much better and more enjoyable than the original one anyway.

Badge Arcade available right now in NA!:

Guess this means it won't be in the Direct.

Wait what!

I just want a proper Pikmin 4 reveal trailer. It was so random how Miyamoto confirmed its existence and that it's almost done, haha. Still, I appreciated it either way. I just can't wait to see what the ending of 3 will lead to. (oh god if it had online multiplayer I would die)

Right now, one of the main things I want from the Nintendo Direct is to see who won the Smash Ballot, and to see more Zelda U footage.

@Whitewatermoose: Which employee did that?

I got 5 badges by knocking them over. This game is ridiculous already

I dunno about Zelda U. I think it would be a stronger move to show what they got at the Game Awards instead, IF they plan on showing anything about it at all this year.

My Predictions:
-NX reveal: release date of November 20th 2015 299.99 2x the power of PS4
-NX Launch Titles Revealed: Super Mario Galaxy 3, Zelda NX, Metroid Prime 4, Pikmin 4, Star Fox Zero, Animal Crossing NX, F-Zero NX, Smah Bros 5, Mario Kart 9, Donkey Kong NX, Splatoon NX, Fire Emblem NX, Paper Mario NX, Mario Party NX, Bayonetta 3, Xenoblade NX, Pokken NX, Duck Hunt NX, Punch Out NX, Kid Icarus NX, Mario Tennis NX, Mario Basketball NX, Mario Strikers NX, Mario Baseball NX, Ice Climbers NX, Sonic NX, Mega Man NX, Half Life 3, Fallout 5, CoD Black Ops 4, Kingdom Hearts 4, Mass Effect 5, Left for Dead 4, Fifa 18, NBA Live 18, Madden 18, MLB 18, God of War 5, Halo 6, Banjo Threeie, Perfect Dark NX, Metal Gear Solid 6, Portal 3, NX Sports, Wave Race NX, Assasin's Creed NX, Watch Dogs 2, Destiny NX, Snoop Dog NX, Infamous NX, Uncharted 5 and much much much much much more!

wipes a tear The hype train is going full speed!!!

My god... No brakes on this hype train!

Also, can't wait for Twilight Princess: The Gamecube Game that got Flipped with Motion Controls to be Released on the Wii, Remastered in HD for Wii U and Ported to NX..... & Knuckles.

I think they will still mention the badge stuff during the direct but...

First I post a conservative "tempered expectations" post.

Then I come back a few hours later.

Japan is in. Nintendo Badge Arcade on the U.S. eShop outta nowhere. Alison Rapp tells us we should all get hyped.

I am the hype.

I'm cheering for a good Direct, and I want people to be happy, but I personally am not excited about TPHD or 'Pokemon Z'. I feel there's a fair chance one or both of these will be the big announcement(s) of the Direct and I just have no interest. It's not that I don't like these franchises, but it's nowhere near the level of a new Zelda entry and a new Pokemon generation.

Now if TPHD is a fairly drastic overhaul with tons of added content, or if Pokemon Z finally throws the ole' story formula out the window, I will be on board. I don't expect either and I certainly won't be 'disappointed'. I will just continue to have no interest. I just hope there is some other new stuff announced I can get excited about.

Why are there so many Cliff Clavin's in this community?! >_<

Holy cow, that badge arcade is addicting, I have 34 badges. I really like the badges that can open apps.
