Well, it's been a busy few hours courtesy of Nintendo Direct broadcasts in North America, Europe and Japan. Plenty of details and announcements have been issued, and now it's time to take a deep breath and soak it all in.
We'll be doing our usual 'big summary' and editorial content over the coming days, along with a few other goodies, but for now we thought we'd simply give you a handy location for all of the official Nintendo Direct videos that have been posted across territories. We've avoided obvious overlaps but included relevant variations between regions.
Enjoy!

I personally thought it was a great Direct. I enjoyed seeing TP, though I was greatly disappointed by it's look, but I'll still pick it up since I never got to own the Wii version.
Although short, it was great to see Zelda U once again, and can't wait for its release.
I personally will try and get the collectors edition of FE: Fates.
And seeing Cloud in smash was glorious! That was a true surprise to me.
I'm in general exited for all the other titles being released.
pokemon and splatoon dlc for me.
and maybe TP since I don't own it and want the cd.
Wait. Sticks?! Outside of Sonic Boom?! No Buffles, just Knuckles! Wohoo!
Mostly bad Direct. Or at least, mostly really disappointing.
REALLY glad that Fast NEO finally has a more exact-ish release window, though I wish it was a November release :/
FE Fates LE price isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I'll probably grab it at release since I want that POUCH.
Cloud in Smash Bros is the most random thing. Ever.
I'll probably get him even if he looks like an Ike clone.
Other than all that...meh.
We knew a lot of this stuff already, just not the release dates. I thought Nintendo said they had a lot of releases before Christmas?
Pretty good Direct overall imo. A bit boring in the middle (mostly because of the lower tier games), but other than that, I though it was pretty good.
Went 7 hours without internet or phone (turned off so I don't get any spoiler tweets or up dates) just so I can watch the non-live direct when I reach home spoiler free. It was so totally worth it.
Also glad I watched it in the eshop and not here. No offence but the site front page is like one big invite to me for my own surprise party.
It was good. Not amazing, but a good comeback.
I just can't figure why they would release the Gen1 Pokemon games. They were honestly really broken. What would've been really awesome is if they had released a DLC for the Gen VI games that let you go through Kanto, with the Pokemon distribution and Gyms equivalent to the originals.
It's good to finally have another Direct again after 5 months, though the man who brought directory to these will be missed...
Anyways, while this direct may not be anything to be excited for, it did bring up some stuff I was interested in.
Pokemon VC (I never thought this day would come)
Pokken Tournament (Finally, a Pokemon game I'm actually excited for)
Some footage of Star Fox Zero
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam footage! (Please please PLEASE be good!!)
Mega Man Legacy Collection Collector's Edition (Just got it preordered today)
Fire Emblem Fates Special Triple Edition (I gots to have it! Wish it had the face plates...)
Cloud Strife (I fainted)
Overall, I feel that this direct is decent.
My only complaint was the release dates on a lot of these games. Nintendo did say they had some games still to come by end of 2015, but all the games I saw that I want are all coming next year (I was hoping to build a Christmas Wishlist). All the same, great games though.
So let me get this right. . There was no Minecraft announced?
I have to ask as I was getting a lot of buffering during the presentation
It was alright...too much of this we already knew though, such as Fates' third story path, MORE Splatoon maps, Xenoblade, more DLC, and of course, Pokkén Tournament. The new Splatoon maps, Gen 1 Pokémon games for Virtual Console, Twilight Princess...those were cool.
Also: WHERE THE HELL IS MINECRAFT!?
@dethmart There was nothing minecraft-related in either the European or Japanese directs.
Wow, a whole 15 secs of ZeldaU...đź‘ż
And what, no Minecraft announcement?
@andrea987
That means we now have a total of 19 seconds of footage since 2013!
Best direct I have seen for ages - loved it all
@ultraraichu Hhahhahahaha I did the same!
Nice to see you reporting on the Bravely Default Collector's Edition in amongst all your North American news.
well Minecraft wasn't shown, guess it was just a rumour but i felt it was a pretty good direct all round
Cloud in Smash, DQ VII and VIII 3DS on the way, Zelda Twilight Princess HD, confirmation Zelda U is out next year, Bravely 2nd & Final Fantasy Explorers Collectors Editions
but did anyone else notice how that guy couldn't say Pokemon right he kept saying Pockemon and it was really annoying for some reason
Still no pre-order available for Twilight Princess available in Canada
@AVahne He has a couple moves that look similiar to Ike, but so does Roy.
Also, good luck finding the FE14 LE at launch. It's already sold out.
I don't care about handhelds at all, so I only focus on the Wii U, which I believe was offered the worst Direct ever. Basically the only news we got was an even further delay of Star Fox. I don't mind delays at all. I'm just saying it's about the only news we got. It is however awesome to see so many great updates for Splatoon and Smash Bros, but it doesn't call for further shelf space. Also we did know about Twilight Princess... but come on. Who can honestly say it looks good? It looked terrible. I couldn't tell the difference between the Wii version and this.
Having said this I still plan to devote my life to Xenoblade Chronicles X the next 6 months. Thanks to this the Wii U survives the holiday season.
I like how they had to specify the Agnés figure isn't an amiibo. That would be cool though. Wish they'd make one of Magnolia or someone else though because we had that huge statue of Agnés with Bravely Default.
What a nauseatingly feeble and misguided attempt to read the marketplace, Nintendo. Your successes appear more and more like happy accidents. Outrageous.
@Uberchu same.
