Nintendo Direct: Watch The North American 3DS Presentation Live

F-Zero 3DS please?

Majoras mask 3D!

@Game0ver_Gavin I bet a new F-Zeri is headed for WiiU. The 3ds will have to wait.. if it ever gets one.

Hopes/dreams: localisation dates for Dragon Quest VII, Fantasy Life, Bravely Default and/or Layton vs Ace Attorney. Majora's Mask 3D or new Zelda announcement (either is fine by me since I haven't played MM).

MM3D would be nice, but not getting my hopes up too much. I know it will come around sooner or later....maybe...

Fantasy Life? Bravely Default? My body is ready!

i think this is 12 am tonight in australia if im wrong oh please be im wrong

Yep. Hype train inbound. I hope this one has some more good reveals.

I'm guessing the Wii U will take the spotlight at E3 since the 3DS is already getting so much attention.

I'm hoping for a Fantasy Life or more info on Ace Attonery 5.

@trossy998 - Sorry but you might be right, it will happen likely between 11pm and 12am in Australia

ah ok thanks anyway ill have to stay up and watch it

My Body is Ready!

My Body is Reggie.

About 2 hours to showtime. Hope it's good!

pretty excited. wish it was a wii u direct. all in good time.
i need to get back into my 3ds.

I Expect no new stuff now. After all, E3 is so close from now.

I hope they drop a megaton. Really dont wanna see a recap on already announced games.

@agentape
well, it is doubtful that they will drop too many new things, if any at all.
like @MrMario02 said. we are pretty close to e3

Fantasy Life PLEEZ!

so. 9 am for central time zone viewers.

Earthbound Compilation!!

@DarkCoolEdge I wouldn't count on it. The 3DS has proven it can handle console games. They both have a chance of getting it of course, but don't rule out the 3DS just yet. (I'd like to see them do something like Monster Hunter. Same game on different console with cross-pltform play.)

@SunnyShores
I feel you , but even a new game or 2 for the eshop with the "available now" line they like to use would make it worth while.

@AgentAPE
I agree. at least some cool new title announcement would be nice. something to get to get excited over. i'm sure they'll bring us something. even if it is small.
personally. majoras mask announcement would blow my mind.

@AgentAPE
but they wouldn't have a new Nintendo direct if it was just about Pre-announced games. that would kinda be a waste of time.

@SunnyShores
majora mask would be nice and maybe a video of a working Miiverse 3ds , feels like forever since it was first announced.

I have been a big supporter of Majora's Mask 3D but now I really hope it's not announced. Not only was the last zelda release a remake but now Wind Waker HD is coming. I need something new at this point.

@AgentAPE

oh yeah, i totally forgot about 3ds miiverse.

@tsm7

i feel you. but majoras mask was so good.
a 3d remake would be epic. they did such a good job with OoT

80 minutes away...

I'm going to have to miss it :/ I'll watch it later

sick of waiting...

This better be a big announcement for all the waiting I'm doing >:l

@SunnyShores They've already said that they want to get the new, original 3DS Zelda out before they do another remake on the 3DS, so I doubt MM3D, as nice as it would be, is coming anytime soon.

@Chriiis Wait, when did they ever say they're making a new Zelda for the 3DS? I never heard about that.

Earthbound Zero VC

well we'll see.
i've heard them say one thing and do another.

@Five-seveN The Wii U had the spotlight last year, this is the 3DS making up for it. E3 better be split 50/50 between 3DS & Wii U.

Burning my last sick day till it re-cycles in a few weeks, so I can actually watch the broadcast... Any Zelda news and VC news would make me happy.

I am excite. Crossing fingers for MM 3D.

i just want them to announce miiverse for the 3DS already. they announced that last year and nothing about it since.

Y'know, when the video locks up you should post in the live feed that some big game was revealed just to troll us.

Only one hour away!
Damn... And was just about to go to sleep.

@atl13falcons

i agree. they need all the help with the Wii U that they can get.

While links to the NA and EU Directs are in the Nintendo Life news section, here' a link to the Japan Direct.
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nintendo_direct/index.html

MY BODY IS READY.
However, I have something going on in which I have to leave at 10:15...

My class starts at 10 AM. -_-

I'll come back here later, I suppose.

So excited. I wonder if we'll see reggie cosplaying as luigi....

I can see:
Release dates
1 or 2 localizations
3DS Miiverse preview

@WebHead I'm thinking you're wrong. They wouldn't wait this long just for that would they?

tomodachi collection for 3ds

@Five-seveN Assuming that wasn't sarcasm:

http://nintendoeverything.com/77215/new-zelda-title-being-prepared-for-3ds-majoras-mask-remake-still-possible/

33 MORE MINUTES. It's sad I'm posting this. I guess I have nothing better to do, but for all this waiting YOU BETTER ANNOUNCE SOMETHING BIG NOA! YOU HEAR ME? SOMETHING BIG!

Hoping for some surprises. I don't really care about mario golf or whatever mario spinoffs there are.

does the 3DS really need a special Nintendo Direct ? i mean, the 3DS its on fire, its good they keep supporting it, but there ANOTHER CONSOLE out there that could use more support...

Come on NOA i missed University just because of this (lol)

The Wii U also got a direct that revealed a fair amount of new games, on top of what's been revealed since. I'm agreeing with others that think E3 should see the Wii U take the center stage; Talking about the 3DS now isn't going to end the world.

With E3 being so close I don't see anything but dates today! Maybe a reveil of Bravely Default and a couple of others coming to the west but that's about all I'm expecting!

Skipping a class just for this...come on Ninty, I know it's not your game but bring us some PLvsAA....

MY BODY IS READY. Lookinh forward to this.

@Chriiis No, it wasn't sarcasm. I had never heard that bit of news. Thanks for the info.

Do you guys think that they'll finally say something about TurboGrafix16 games being available on the 3DS Virtual Console? They said they would do that before the 3DS eShop even launched over two years ago, but we never heard anything about it since then.

Also, they should make 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure 30 cents for a whole month to go with the Wii U version of Kirby's Adventure being the same price today.

im flippin excited!

@Georgethecow I am your first period teacher, Mr. Pringle and you have lunch detention.
Wii U >>3DS CONNECTIVITY! PLEEEASE!

@NImH They've been working on connectivity, I just don't know how much connectivity you're talking about. Cloud, or games?

I am hoping for an announcement about the Oracle games, PLvsAA, and Fantasy Life.

i say they are giving up on the 3ds going to make a new handheld system and crashes everytime there is an update and the memory card can only be used on that one system and it will cost 10X more then a basic memory card

no wait a minute there is a system out there already like that.. its called VITA lol

@slidecage Can we please have enough class not to trash another system? I own both.

@slidecage

agreed vita sucks.

@pariah164
That wasn't too bad, just some friendly joking. The vita will probably rebound at least a little next year.

Miiverse 3DS please...

I kinda hope they announce the release of the Oracle games for this Thursday (doubt it though) because I keep thinking they might announce something for the eshop tomorrow during this Direct.

@2Sang Any complaints I have about the Vita are quashed when I remember Persona 4 Golden exists. Best game on the system and my favorite RPG of all time.

Does anyone know if this is viewable on Wii U?

can we have enough class not to call everyone out on their opinion? and not get so butthurt?

@3Dash no. on your 3ds though.

FFS, just confirm Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright! I'm SICK of waiting. lol

On my 3DS, of all things?

yes?

Guys, VITA NEEDS to Rebound... competition keep companies on their toes and, what i care the most, KEEP PRICES LOWER, if there wasnt a Sony company out there, nintendo would do wathever they want and price their products whatever they want... Same would do Sony

Oh geez I'm so nervous sitting here in the middle of class!

fantasy life,Girls RPG: Cinderella Life please~!!!!!!!

I mean, the 3DS can't even play YouTube, which is why I was making sure

I'd like to see that Disney Castle Life game or whatever it's called get released.

Body ready!

My body is completely ready!

@NimH

Seriously though, what if you actually were my Sociology Professor? Small world indeed. You bring up a good point, I could go for some cross play. And VC on the Wii U, of course...

Weird how I fell asleep and automatically woke up at 6:30 without a clock for this.

Don't worry NintendoLife team, my ready is indeed body.

@3Dash I think he meant the actual video uploaded in the eShop. Not the livestream itself.

Yes, Disney Castle Life is also good..love it ~~~~

@Zyph Ah, ok.

Let's do this!

My body is ready!

@HannaAi It looks so cute. ;3;

MY BODY AND GAMEPAD IS READY!!

My body is ready for Wii U games, but unfortunately Nintendo is not!

I forgot about that game !!! more Mario&Luigi RPG !!!

Is anybody else getting major lag?

@Five-seveN Sorry if I came across in a bad way there, so many sarcastic comments out now, sometimes can't tell. Wasn't sure there because you'd think a new Zelda would be something obvious.

Looks like Super Mario RPG graphics wise LOVE IT !!

PD: NO LAG AT ALL

August 11 !!! (just after my grade exam lol)

Waluigi! You're back!

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team gets a release date for 8/11/2013 huh. Real good to hear!

Don't worry guys, Waluigi's in this game!

Mario Golf GET!

Only Nintendo can continue to put out 2D platformers on it's new TV console system but really great looking 3D open world games on it's handheld. This, Luig's Mansion, Kid Icarus - all better than anything on WiiU at the moment. Maybe they are busy switching Pikmin 3 to 3DS, hence the delay

I may have to cross WiiU off my list and buy an 3DS XL. Nintendo has given up on WiiU, why shouldn't I?

Mario Party 3DS ?? :/

So far nothing too exciting for me....

Let there be online with this one PLZ Nintendo!!

F-Zero board !

MARIO PARTY 3D!! I KNEW IT ON THE FINDING NEMO REVIEW

Mario Party 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mario Party on handheld... so they really are giving up on Wii U.

Exactly what I feared so far, all stupid mario spinoffs, not even any luigi yet.

How is the multiplayer based Mario Party game put on a handheld and not the WIiU?!?!?!

Isnt' the Gamepad made to be a spinner and dice roller?

WiiU coverage - I think I just had a heart attack. If I don't comment for awhile somebody call an ambulance

Nintendo showing how to do DLC right, looks big and awesome, hope the price is right though

false advertisement they said it was 3ds direct why talk about wii u wii u sucks

Ohhhh boy. Here we go again with Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D -__-

YES !!! NO MORE WAGLE FOR DKR !!

"scheduled to be released" in summer? 2 months away? (Next month for Orla)

Well can't get any more wishy washy than that.

@Svengoolie Have you forgotten Mario Party Advance and Mario Party DS?...

New mode = easy mode

YOSHI ISLAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

YOSHHIIII!!

NEW YOSHI'S ISLAND! Maybe I'll get it.

Yoshi's Island??

Oh WOW! Yoshi's Island 3 ?! Looks good!

Wow, can't wait for that new Yoshi's Island!

YOSHI'S ISLAND HOLY CRAP

I love Mario vs. DK

Oh man, Yoshi's Island and Mario Party. Really hoping they're saving the best for last!!! hoping

Dangit, Nintendo, you're weakening my wallet!!! xD

New Yoshi's Island may be interesting.

YES! Yoshi's Island and Mario Party! OMG.

Hmm, I heard this game was coming soon. 5/9/2013 seems acceptable.

Now thats more like nintendo, nice update for the WiiU !

Wii U VC next week. AWESOME!!

GBA for WiU ? AND NO 3DS ? WHY WHY WHY

I thought this was all about 3DS.... I was lied to.

Did he just say GBA games on the Wii U? REALLY?!? YOU HAVE IT MADE FOR THE 3DS AND YOU SKIP IT!?! No business sense whatsoever Nintendo... none whatsoever...

PIKMIN 3

How Magical! Pikmin 3 news!

AAAAAAAAAAW LOOK AT THAT PINK PIKMIN! WING PIKMIN INSTA FAV

LOL OMG! A Pink Flying Pikmin xD

omfg Earthbound

Still no Pikmin 3 release date...

YES!! Here we go!

Pikmin 3 probably coming in 2013. LOL, Come on Nintendo.......

Earthbound FINALLY gets mention!!

Earthbound? Wtf...

Earthbound English. Finally.

EARTHBOUND. I'M DONE.

That's good but show some love for Mother 1 and Mother 3 Iwata!

WiiU. woo hoo

I know a lot of people must have been holding off on buying a WiiU until an update.

VC on the Gamepad looks good though.

PIKMIN 3 - DATE DATE DATE????? Launching when? Did I here "in just a few months"? Killing me Nintendo. Killing me.

Oh, it's Earthbound, everybody just fainted, no more posts.

EARTHBOUND!!!!

Now I literally need to buy a wiiu.

Little bummed for a certain fairy boy lost in Termina to make his return.

OH MY GODDDD!!!! EARTHBOUND! LIFE IS COMPLETE

It's happening....

Wario Ware Smooth Moves was one of the best games on the Wii, played it to death with my brother beating our scores

BEST ND ever!

Great ND for the Wii U, pretty awful for the 3DS. I just wished they were honest with the advertising.

EARTHBOUND **** YEAH!!!!!!!

BRAVELY DEFAULT !!!

BRAVELY DEFAULT I'M OUT

DARN IT. ZELDA! SO. CLOSE.

BRAVELY DEFAULT!!!!!

Bravely Default localization!! TAT

The Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Seasons and The Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages for 5/30/2013. I'm liking this Nintendo Direct so far!

Well I guess Oracles rules out Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Oh well, maybe next time.

This guy looks so sad.

Bravely Default and Guild02. Make that ok 3DS Direct.

im crying because bravely default is coming to NA... seriously bros... i love you nintendo and square enix

EARTHBOUND AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

May the 30th for the Oracle games. I don't have video stream here (only the text updates) but I found it on Zelda Dungeon.

Attack of the Friday Monsters is a game version o fGodzilla's Revenge, the worst of all the Godzuilla movies. Though I know it was big in Japan among fat kids in shorts.

REGGIE!!!

New 2D Zelda!

Not liking the art style of this new zelda game.

It's so cute!

LttP Link is getting some love!

new zelda looks epic!!!

Oh man a new 2D Zelda....

Well sort of 2D gameplay, but 3D graphics!

Much rather have that new one than an MM remake!

Wow, that was another amazing ND!

Wow, a new Zelda 3DS title!

It's not the Zelda I was thinking it might be but ill take it!! Beside I wasn't the biggest fan of the 2 ds offerings.

LINK TO THE PAST fkladjlkasjdf;ljk

A SEQUEL TO A LINK TO THE PAST?!! YES!

Finally. Now other people can play and realise how overrated Earthbound is.

NEW ZELDA TITLE!! Still disappointed at the lack of Majora's Mask.. but a new LttP title? Hells yes.

@Svengoolie i think you already noticed that this is a 3DS NDirect. The Wii U one was last January. We'll see more in the coming months especially E3...

New zelda !!!!

That was a great Nintendo Direct.

Bravely Default, oh my gosh I'm so happy!

Is the new 3DS Yoshi game a remake of the SNES game or a new game?

THAT ZELDA NEWS...BRAIN...CAN'T HANDLE THE...EPICNESS

A new Zelda game that's in the same world as A Link To The Past looks real interesting. Can't wait to see what happens with this game.

Nice to see LttP link style getting some love.

I like the idea that EarthBound is FINALLY seeing the light of day on a VC like Wii U VC , but can't they do the same for Mother 1 and Mother 3 ?

Ermahgerd so much NEWS! 8D

Nintendo just knocked it out of the park! Greatest Nintendo Direct Ever Made! That new Zelda game is a day one buy! MM will come soon Im sure, but it was wise to announce a new Zelda game first.

@HeroOfCybertron Its a completely new game!

Well that was impressive.

I can't even imagine what more anybody could be wanting on the 3DS:

Mario and Luigi
Mario
Zelda
more Zelda
Yoshi
more Mario
Earthbound
Japanese imports

Here's a summary of just how awesome that was - a 3DS Direct and he didn't even mention Pokemon X+Y. That's how awesome the 3DS is.

@HeroOfCybertron Its a completely new game!

I haven't got to see it due not haveing video here, but I really hope you don't have to use the touch screen to walk in the new Zelda. Worst part about the DS games.

This was the best Nintendo direct ever!

Even blew the Wii U one and the feb one out of the water!

that was pretty good nintendo, i dont even have a wallet anymore, just moths,lol

@rjejr
Of course they didn't announce anything for pokemon, that's gamefreaks department!

Going back to the past baby! Link to the past!
Oh man and that wall merging mechanic looked freakng beautiful!

Attempting to comprehend the intense release schedule for the 3DS this year. So very, very excited.

nintendo made me cry tears of joy and manliness.

WOAH. Earthbound coming to the VC and a new game set in A Link to the Past? Whaaaaaaaaaat.

Going by the no more text I'm guessing it's over.

I'm definitely satisfied as hell. Still, it's a shame that there's no confirmation of PLvAA. I will remain optimistic and hope it's announced in E3.

@Geonjaha Haters gonna hate. ;D

I was about to question everything if they were going to port a Link to the Past again, but I was completely surprised that its a NEW GAME!

Earthbound? Wait, he said Earthbound, didn't he?! For worldwide release?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way. I saw the logo and heard straight from Iwata but I'm still in denial? Its been way too long, hasn't it?

I am in love with these comments- Earthbound, Zelda, and Bravely Default made a HUGE impact.

If you don't own a 3DS by now, you are totally missing out.

This is a fuzzy pickles moment, if you know what I mean.

@TheEmerlLad - Good point. But they did announce Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, and thats Silicon Studio and Square Enix. And a bunch of Level 5 games.

Well either way, there's still a lot of games coming out on the 3DS.

@MagicEmperor - Fanboys ganna fanboy.

@rjejr Earthbound is coming to the Wii U not the 3DS.

Wow...wow...wow. I really don't know how much more Nintendo can give us in 1 year! Loving it!

I do NOT like the fact the GAME BOY ADVANCE Games will only be on the WiiU!!!

EARRRRRRRRTHBOUUUUUUUUNNNNND!!!!!

OK, I love the new Zelda EXCEPT for the Stamina Bar!!!
I hated it in Wind Waker, I'm hating it here!

So what I got from that is: 3DS is the best thing you could have bought from Nintendo in years. And the WiiU should make a nice doorstop if you bought one.

good thing all those developers have been working so hard to bring one DLC package to a tired Mario game, and further polish 2 games that have are late and simmering for over a year now. Wario and Pikmin looked fun a year ago, but I'm over it now.

I am VERY concerned about Mario & Luigi Dream Team. I hope it does not have the same TERRIBLE item based attack system Partners in Time did (which was the worst in the entire series of Mario & Luigi games).

New 3DS Zelda looks nice, smiley faces on the springs a little too ridiculous looking.

This Nintendo Direct will go down in history- along with that famous Valentine's Day Wii U Direct and the Pokemon X and Y announcement. So much hype for 2013!

I just finished the Nintendo direct on youtube, as I slept in this morning >_<,
It made me VERY happy.

Earthbound! Best news ever!

I am in so much shock right now. If we're getting Earthbound, I wonder if it has been edited. Or maybe those things weren't as much of an issue as we thought? We'll have to play through and compare.

It is awesome to be a 3DS owner right now.

I gotta say in the short time of these reports. This one was the best and had some great news. I'm pumped to be a 3ds owner which is becoming my favorite system of all time! Not quite yet but almost there. Nintendo DS was my favorite of all time but 3ds is getting there.

Thank you Nintendo
Thank You Nintendolife
Thank You Square
Thank You Level 5
Thank You Indie devs
I'm even going to thank Capcom even though I'm still mad at ya for no straight up online play for 3ds monster hunter

IM so happy right now! Thanks to all the companies who helped the 3DS! I BASICALLY FLIPPED OUT when Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was finally confirmed! THANK YOU GUYS!

P.S.: We spoke and they ACTUALLY LISTENED! We got Earthbound for the vitural console!!!!!

Nintendo is legit. Looks like I got to be more careful with my money for the next year. So much stuff...

The oracle games! A New Zelda! Yoshi's Island!

So much goodness <3

A new top-down Zelda?
Bravely Default?
All three Guild02 games?
A new Yoshi's Island?
Release dates for Pikmin 3, Mario & Luigi and the Oracle series ports?
EarthBound?
Professor Layton?

Nintendo just has no regard for how little money I have.

ehm.
i literally will buy a 3DS for the new Zelda game.
I wonder if it is a literal sequel or spiritual successor; same Link or new Link? I...I...just soiled myself.

I have not owned a handheld system since the GBA.
Nothing on DS, PSP, Vita, 3DS has interested me quite enough to fork out the cash (because I'd end up playing it at home, not on the road like I did with my GB as a kid)
But then Nintendo had to go and do this???
Better start saving, because I'm going to buy a Wii U as soon as the next Zelda on there is released. I'm going to be BROKE !
TAKE MY MONEY NINTENDO!!! JUST TAKE IT ALL!

Mario Kart Wii U! I will LITERALLY go CRAZY to get my hands on THAT! I just have to buy a Wii U first....... Which is about 300 bucks.... =( ......OFF TO SAVE SOME MONEY FOR A WII U! =D

My wallet is screaming in anxiety after seeing this.

This was the greatest nintendo direct yet. But... Money. I need it. Well it's a good thing I kept my flamethrower 'cause it looks like I'm Robbin' a bank.

well, nintendo certainly got a lot of attention with this Nintendo Direct

Nintendo of America...you did good. You did very good to get Square Enix to get off their butts to give us Bravely Default.

Almost everything from this Nintendo Direct was fantastic! In my opinion:
Most exciting moment: Link to the Past sequel
Most disappointing moment: Professor Layton 6 coming 2014 and no mention of PL vs AA

I hope Yoshi's Island's graphics will be improved by the time it's released

yoshi's island for the 3ds looks like a remake of the original to the exact with eye candy and a few new powerups added. really hoping that view holds true. anyone else hoping for baby bowser's theme to be remixed better then ever, if that is even possible!?

Two best moments: 1. Flying Pikmin, the amount of strategic possibilities is astounding.
2. Zelda stuff. Loved the old Oracle games (played the GB/GBC games before I had a console.) Would be great to add them to my virtual library. Plus the new Zelda game looks pretty interesting. Anxious to see more.
