Luigi's Mansion is looking lovely!
Only joking, of course. It's Bill's voice!

Miyamoto! Miyamoto! It's his Nintendo Direct debut!
Luigi certainly has a lot of history!
The year of Luigi!
Nice hat, Iwata!
What are you all expecting? A new Zelda? Metroid? Or stuff we've seen already?
15 minutes and counting!
Is your body ready?
Comments 125
My body is ready!!!!
@Bushdoc87 Mine too
2 hours, right?
Until it starts I mean
I am preparing my body
Do Europe and America get different Directs ?
@Lan Yes
Yes
Did you guys see the EB list with Watch_Dogs and Rainbow 6 Patriots for Wii U ?
Looking forward to the 3DS news.
I do hope they announce the GBA VC for the 3DS. It is about time. It's been what, two whole years since Ambassador? And a good surprise would be SNES VC for 3DS and GameCube VC for the Wii U, with a proper and decent version of Four Swords running through the game pad screen as the GBA. And I still have hopes for a Dreamcast VC on Wii U. Boy, wouldn't that be sweet? One can dream.
@MadAussieBloke ; LOL - HaHaHaa
I was just told Japan is getting a direct. We could get some big news after all. Nintendo Network 3D and Fire Emblem spotpass maps are all I ask.
lets hope we hear some news from headstrong games that the battalion wars 3 is coming to the wii u and star fox is coming to the wii u as well
My 3DS is ready! For some new games and a 3DS Miiverse app would be cool. Having GBA and SNES games coming to the VC would be great news as well.
My Reggie is Body.
And yes, more GameCube HD remakes, please! F-Zero, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart Double-Dash, Metroid Prime, just to name a few. And Capcom, yes, you Capcom, be nice an bring us back Viewtiful Joe and PN.03 in HD and get that Okami HD running on my Wii U as well!
Better draw to kill the 2 hours then. Body, allow thy self to be fully prepared!
Since Thursday is eshop update day, THEY COULD TALK ABOUT NEW ESHOP RELEASES TODAY!
Pikmin 3! Pikmin 3! Pikmin 3!
Wait what's this? I have to go to class first? NOOOOOOOOOOooooo.....

My Body is ready.
How long until it starts?
I just got home from work & really wanna watch but fear I may crash out very soon lol
Ubisoft should be giving us 2 3DS VC and 2 Wii VC games for $1 as an apology for Rayman Legends. I think that is a true sorry, not some stupid demo for a game no one wants anymore.
@MeowGravy: About 47 minutes.
Ok Animal Crossing street date - show thyself
Forget my body! The WORLD is Reggie! >:c
Sweet, thanks guys! I think ill get some caffiene into me & watch it, looking forward to it.
Only 35 mores minutes! This give me time to get some Captain Crunch for a 5 am breakfast
I'm up! I'm here! What'd I miss!? Ok good... Lets do this!
@EdwardCORE I thought I was the only one who enjoyed P.N.03
I am in class right now so I will have to use the live text updates. Thanks Nintendo Life for having those for people who can't watch the live stream!
Taking a moment to thank my boss for giving me this wonderful day off. Hoping for some good news from Reggster
YES MY BODY IS READY BUT IF NOT SAD DAYS ARE COMING

Don't expect new stuff, I say.
Let it be zelda, oh please Reggie...
I don't expect anything new , just some release dates .

I hope for a 3DS XL bundle I want.
YEAR OF LUIGI! MY BODY IS READY!
THis is AWSOME

Wonderful Mario Vs Donkey Kong Mini series!
I can deal with a June 9th release date for Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Glad they finally confirmed an actual release date now instead of later.
Kersploosh looks like Star Nose from Wario Ware!
There is so much YES in this video!!!!! :)
Mario VS. Donkey Kong: Minis On The Move , sounds like a fun title to try out for myself when it hits the eShop.
Mario AND donkey kong, looks like they aren't fighting in this one?
Kersploosh AKA my least favorite part of GOW3.
Well besides all the stuttering this has been a really good ND so far. Can't wait to see how it ends.
@rjejr: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team made this Nintendo Direct worth it imo. I mean, who doesn't love that RPG series.
A wonderful system to the wii u deluxe
Only got 4 hours of sleep.
Totally. Worth it.
woop woop bit trip saga!
I didn't know Daruna was a Luigi fan!
Wait a min. , I thought they said before that Monster Hunter 3 for 3DS wouldn't have online play like how the one in Japan did?
I like the Drew Carey guy.
HUH?! DKC Returns 3D
DK:CR WO-....wait. That's not what the retro secret is!?
Now THAT'S how to do one of these directs!! Good show!
Lame, no 3DS Zelda.
Only good announcement was the release date for Animal Crossing
Who said e3 was in June. Best e3 ever!!!
most excited for:
mario luigi dream team
harmoknight
super mario U Luigi version
mario and donkey kong minis game
and i'm gonna get that wiistreet U asap, free is always fun
I was really expecting at least the GBA games on 3DS VC. Guess we'll have to wait a little more. Maybe a lot more. Not disappointed at all, though. Great games are coming. That's a good thing.
And that's a wrap! My initial thoughts:
Everything is looking pretty savvy making me more excited for monster hunter, Lugi's Mansion, The new Mario and Luigi Game, HarmoKnight, and so forth.
Getting to be a wonderful year for Nintendo!
This is the first Nintendo Direct that was actually great! A new Mario Golf (FINALLY) for the 3DS, Animal Crossing has a street date (FINALLY), and a new March of the Minis game. Plus sale eShop games. My birthday came early this year.
How the heck can you bring over a game with Wii graphics to 3DS? I would have been happy if they had like a Donkey Kong 64 3D as a surprise announcement instead. I don't know if I like the idea of a game like Donkey Kong Country Returns being remade for 3DS.
Awesome! Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3DS remake, new eShop Mario vs. Donkey Kong sequel, Harmoknight, and New Super Luigi U? This is amazing! This was a great Nintendo Direct, thanks Nintendo!
why do people think miiverse is ever EVER going to show up on the 3ds? it's not powerful enough to support that much of a game suspension to load that many communities, plus there's no nintendo id setup for 3ds
Great Nintendo Direct. Lots of great 3DS games coming! The NSMBU DLC sounds fantastic?
So many great new games coming out... and the Wii U keeps getting better and better, with genuinely intuitive and different features like the Google Street View App being added as well as in-game miiverse interaction, I can't wait till Summer
^Oh wait, the DKCR game is a remake?? (can't see the video here at work).....well, that's cool too...was hoping for a new one.
This is the first Nintendo Direct I've ever watched...and it was incredible o_o! Aw man, I want like five of those games they announced. Gaming is such an expensive hobby
And yes yes yes, NEW CONTENT FOR STYLE SAVVY YES <333
I'ma get right on that ;D (I also want that new Fire Emblem character...).
I will admit, Nintendo makes it feel like they abandoned E3 2013 with all the heavy hitting news they're bringing us lately. First the Wii U Direct not too long ago. And now this Nintendo Direct today. I really can't wait for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team , Mario Golf 3DS and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. TRULY gonna be a great year for Nintendo.
Nice job. Looks like Zelda was saved for E3 along with whatever else is coming Q4
lame no hint on 3ds miiverse or more pkm footage only good was luigis mansion and nsmbu dlc
@Marioman64
All the reason why I keep thinking Nintendo is abandoning the idea of even bringing Miiverse over to the 3DS in the long run. I mean, it's more better suited to run on Wii U than it is to run on 3DS imo. Not that I'm hating on the 3DS. That's just the way how I see this all playing out.
In case anybody is wondering - biggest difference between EU and US seems to be MH3U bundles (Wii U and 3DS) in the EU. Maybe the US will get them in 3 months.
Pretty decent Direct, I was hoping the Donkey Kong Country Return game was a sequel for the 3DS.
Some great stuff. I'm a little burnt out on having so many games Mario related, and 3rd party support on Wii U still sounds pretty lackluster. Still great show, needs me some Dream Time.
I like how Reggie said Donkey Kong hasn't had a game of his own on 3ds, so they port his Wii game to it. Come on, give us some new content.
so tempted to buy FIRE EMBLEM for the downloads but i just cant PULL THE TRIGGER ..
@rjejr There's LOADS of stuff in the US nintendo direct that wasn't in the EU one.
It was okay. Happy to see more titles to come but I felt it was a bit heavy on the Mario series. I was hoping for some localization
yeah it erked me too when they said there bringing the donkey kong game to the 3ds instead of a sequel or a new game of its own
Best news was Dream Team, which is the best Mario series now that Paper Mario got washed out.
I am pumped for Dillon's Rolling Western: the Last Ranger.
It kills me that Dillon's first outing got mixed reviews. Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault (QForce), a somewhat similar game for PS3, also got panned undeservedly. People seem to get all mad when they have to think during a game instead of just plowing straight forward. I hope they keep the tower defense aspects together for the Last Ranger.
It's the year of Luigi! AWWWWW YEEEEEEAAH!
Did he say Ear of Luigi?
I don't get why ppl are complaining about Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D on 3DS. It's not like this is the first time Nintendo did this, even back in the days, Donkey Kong Country was also ported to the handheld Game Boy (as Donkey Kong Land). DKCR on 3DS is a sweet deal, I just hope they got a sequel for the Wii U planned soon too. Also the new Mario & Luigi RPG had me excited now especially after the disappointing Paper Mario: Sticker Star.
If direct is this big, i have a feeling they are saving all their nuclear strikes for E3. Think bout it.
I was really please with the news but I expected more for example a 3ds community but who knows what nintendo has in store for us all.
Haha, gotta love Luigi entering the set by mistake at the end.
HarmoKniiiiiight!
That's all I cared about in this ND.
anyone else think bill trinen's facial expressions strangely resemble those of chris-chan?
Anybody download the new outfits in Ninja Gaiden? I started the game and there was no update and I don't see anything on the Eshop.
I didn't know about this
Awesome news! Another great Nintendo Direct!
"But this is a videogame..."
Best line in the video! Thanks Nintendo, for remembering what's important!
DKCR sweet i haven't played a donky kong game since i had DKC on GBA Man im So Glad to have a 3DS ahhhh then DLC Fire Emblem new Mario games then Eshop ahhh this is heavn XD
Very nice reveals BUT I was hoping for news of the 3DS XL releasing in more colors. Does anyone know if black is coming to the U.S.?
