KoopaTV's August 29 Japanese Nintendo Direct Live Reactions!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - We try to translate Iwata into English.

Welcome to another wonderful addition to KoopaTV's treasure trove of reaction logs. I'm your host in there as Nintendork 13 13, Kamek is Ultralink1000, and RawkHawk2010... is himself. We're in our [Koopa Keep] AIM Blast here to react to the Japan-only Nintendo Direct!

Nintendork 13 13 6:38 am
    Hiya.

 Ultralink1000 6:38 am
    ^^
    >>;
    anyone else coming

 Nintendork 13 13 6:39 am
    ...I'm not quite sure why Rawk isn't here...
    ...Since the dude wakes up at like 4 AM.
    (And has been here at this time every other day this week.)
    http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nintendo_direct/20140829/index.html
    I think this says it'll be 33 minutes.

 Nintendork 13 13 6:40 am
    "20:00 ~ 20:33"

 Ultralink1000 6:41 am
    ....seems legit

 Nintendork 13 13 6:41 am
    I'm impressed they have enough content to fill that.

 Ultralink1000 6:42 am
    hmmm

 Nintendork 13 13 6:45 am
    WELL
    GONNA GET FOOD.
    ...and drink.
    These Directs are making me thirsty!

 Ultralink1000 6:45 am
    iseewhatyoudidthere.gif

 Nintendork 13 13 6:46 am
    Yay.

 Ultralink1000 6:52 am
    <<

 Nintendork 13 13 6:54 am
    Almost time.

 Ultralink1000 6:54 am
    indeed

 Nintendork 13 13 6:55 am
    Thanks for being responsible. =-O

 Ultralink1000 6:55 am
    >> responsible?

 Nintendork 13 13 6:56 am
    As opposed to, you know, irresponsible.

 Nintendork 13 13 6:56 am
    So maybe after this you could find a knack for translating Japanese.
    And then add Japanese to the list of languages you wanna study.

 Ultralink1000 6:57 am
    ......
    yeeeeah
    I was going to take japanese

 Nintendork 13 13 6:57 am
    Well they say learning languages gets easier the more of them you know.
    Difficulty curve is gonna asymptote at some point.

 Ultralink1000 6:57 am
    but I didn't have enough time and there weren't enough sections that had space

 Nintendork 13 13 6:57 am
    x.x
    Weren't enough that had space? You only need one. :-P

 Ultralink1000 6:58 am
    They were all full

 Nintendork 13 13 6:58 am
    ...Then I guess there weren't enough.

 Ultralink1000 6:58 am
    except for the times I was already in class

 Nintendork 13 13 6:59 am
    Anyway, like, 13,000+ dudes are watching this, according to YouTube.

 Ultralink1000 6:59 am
    whoa

 Nintendork 13 13 6:59 am
    That seems sort of low.
    So maybe they're just all on the Nico Nico stream.
    And YouTube doesn't count that.

 Ultralink1000 7:00 am
    ah
    of course

 Nintendork 13 13 7:00 am
    SO

 Ultralink1000 7:00 am
    what's the nico nico stream >>

 Nintendork 13 13 7:00 am
    SMASH
    SMASH
    KING BOWSER

If only the trailer was dedicated to Bowser and the butterfly.

 Ultralink1000 7:00 am

 Nintendork 13 13 7:00 am
    RUNNING

 Nintendork 13 13 7:01 am

    wtf
    he was jumping shirtless

 Ultralink1000 7:02 am
    O_O;

 Nintendork 13 13 7:02 am
    I guess that was his Final Smash.
    RIDLEY
    ...i THINK

 Ultralink1000 7:02 am
    *bow*

 Nintendork 13 13 7:02 am
    or maybe that was from his game.

 Ultralink1000 7:02 am
    That would be my guess

 Nintendork 13 13 7:02 am
    Okay so Iwata is babbling.
    But at least he's back.
    As opposed to sick.
    "Directly to you!"

 Ultralink1000 7:03 am

    Final Fantasy Exprorers
    (Looks like, uh, Monster Hunter.)

 Ultralink1000 7:06 am
    Square enix and Nintendo getting cozy with more games
    This reminds me of borderlands
    action-y game with RPG elements

 Nintendork 13 13 7:07 am
    Except, y'know, Kingdom Hearts and mainline Final Fantasy and Tomb Raider and wotnot.
    ...I think it's supposed to remind you of Monster Hunter.

 Ultralink1000 7:08 am
    Yay that'll make people happy

 Nintendork 13 13 7:08 am
    GREAAAAT. Now people will say
    "Cloud got on Kingdom Hearts GBA and now he's here!"

 Ultralink1000 7:09 am
    I only know names because of random friend

 Nintendork 13 13 7:09 am
    "He should be in Smash!"

 Ultralink1000 7:09 am
    >>;

 Nintendork 13 13 7:09 am
    One Piece Super Grand Battle X

 Ultralink1000 7:09 am
    I like the art style

 Nintendork 13 13 7:09 am
    Oh, yeah.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:10 am
    Nice and crisp and like its anime.

 Ultralink1000 7:10 am
    I like the characters popping out onto the screen
    whenever

 Nintendork 13 13 7:10 am
    ...I suppose I'd have more insightful things to say if I knew what was going on.

 Ultralink1000 7:10 am
    .....ANYTHING happens

 Nintendork 13 13 7:10 am
    lol
    Well, probably for the 3D effect.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:11 am
    A dungeon... crawling thing.
    Where you have to draw your own map as it goes along.

 Ultralink1000 7:12 am
    Oooo I like the anime cross over game thingy

 Nintendork 13 13 7:12 am
    Pretty sure these are all original characters.
    They just have dat anime art-style.

 Ultralink1000 7:12 am
    o.o engrish?
    but now everything is in japanese

 Nintendork 13 13 7:12 am
    ...Yeah.
    "Congratulations!"
    I guess they're cooking items together.

 Ultralink1000 7:13 am
    Zess-T

 Nintendork 13 13 7:13 am
    But yeah it's a dungeon-crawling turn-based RPG.
    5,980 sounds like a lot though.

 Ultralink1000 7:13 am
    WITH A CD!?
    neat

 Nintendork 13 13 7:13 am
    ...oh
    That's probably why.

    THEY ADDED A NEW BUTTON TO THE 3DS
    "new 3D viewing"

 Ultralink1000 7:15 am

    Since they love their Ls.

 Ultralink1000 7:16 am
    oh yeah

 Nintendork 13 13 7:16 am

 Ultralink1000 7:16 am
    Ugh

 Nintendork 13 13 7:16 am
    "new SMB"

 Ultralink1000 7:16 am
    you can't just name something new AS "NEW"

 Nintendork 13 13 7:16 am
    White, Black, Metarric Brue, Metarric Brack"
    I DUNNO NINTENDO HAS BEEN DOING THAT FOR A WHILE NOW.
    "Yoshi's NEEW Island"

 Ultralink1000 7:16 am
    slightly bigger screens
    1.2

 Nintendork 13 13 7:17 am
    ...Meanwhile I still have my Midnight Purple normal 3DS.
    XYAB coloured buttons.
    Well, why were they the same colour to begin with?

 Ultralink1000 7:17 am
    now is a good time to upgrade I guess

 Nintendork 13 13 7:17 am
    Colours based off SNES.
    ("Super Famicom!"
    ...do we know what that extra button does yet
    Yeah, zoom in.

 Ultralink1000 7:17 am
    I hope so >> the buttons were already in the same order

 Nintendork 13 13 7:17 am
    "C-Stick"

 Ultralink1000 7:17 am
    .....
    what

 Nintendork 13 13 7:18 am
    That little thing is a stick?

 Ultralink1000 7:18 am
    you can't just do that?!

 Nintendork 13 13 7:18 am
    That thing is smaller than the XABY buttons!

 RawkHawk2010 7:18 am
    Oh fuck.

 Ultralink1000 7:18 am
    There's not enough space

 RawkHawk2010 7:18 am
    I was dreaming about bears.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:18 am
    Rawk you missed a fuckload

 RawkHawk2010 7:18 am
    Link?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:18 am
    stop dreaming about Banjo
    http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nintendo_direct/20140829/index.html
    You missed Shulk trailer
    and now he's showing a new 3DS
    With a fucking c-stick
    Called the "New 3DS"

 Ultralink1000 7:18 am
    c-stick button
    >>;

 Nintendork 13 13 7:19 am
    I think it's a nub.

 Ultralink1000 7:19 am
    it has to be

 Nintendork 13 13 7:19 am
    ...but it's pretty damn small either way.

 RawkHawk2010 7:19 am
    Why is Iwata a floating torso

 Nintendork 13 13 7:19 am
    I dunno.

 Ultralink1000 7:19 am
    bad cropping

 Nintendork 13 13 7:19 am
    So he basically said
    "fuck the controller pad plus"
    or whatever the hell it's called.

 Ultralink1000 7:20 am
    it's going to be necessary to play certain games I think
    but it will help with others

 Nintendork 13 13 7:20 am
    Oh yeah it has ZL and ZR buttons.
    (Which are the same button in Japan)

 Ultralink1000 7:20 am
    .....

 Nintendork 13 13 7:20 am
    And the Stylus is at the bottom?

 Ultralink1000 7:20 am
    I guess they can do that

 RawkHawk2010 7:20 am
    are these the colors

 Ultralink1000 7:20 am
    bigger
    there's like 4 colors

 Nintendork 13 13 7:20 am
    White, Blue, Black, and shiny Black.
    They're spending several minutes on dimensions.
    ew fuck Pac-Man

 RawkHawk2010 7:21 am
    Looks like a piece of damn birthday cake.

 Ultralink1000 7:21 am
    darker?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:21 am
    Why are they showing it darker
    ew YNI
    Oh yeah YNI just came out in Japan.
    A few weeks ago.

 RawkHawk2010 7:21 am
    Why does it sound like he keeps saying "Skyward Sword-O"?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:22 am
    Three-Dee-Esso

 Ultralink1000 7:22 am
    oh yeah

 Nintendork 13 13 7:22 am
    fucking 3D effect blur

 Ultralink1000 7:22 am
    that sucked

 Nintendork 13 13 7:22 am
    making me nauseous

 Ultralink1000 7:22 am
    forgot about that

 Nintendork 13 13 7:22 am
    That's why you use the 3DS Stand.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:22 am
    That came with Uprising.
    Magic New 3DS retains 3D as you tilt the system

 Ultralink1000 7:22 am
    o.o

 Nintendork 13 13 7:22 am
    which sounds like bullshit

 RawkHawk2010 7:22 am
    Yeah.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:22 am
    So he's a bullshit diagram.

 RawkHawk2010 7:22 am
    Color me skeptical.

 Ultralink1000 7:23 am
    SCIENCE!!!

 Nintendork 13 13 7:23 am
    With a Yellow light.

 Ultralink1000 7:23 am
    oh

 Nintendork 13 13 7:23 am
    wtf

 Ultralink1000 7:23 am
    it tracks you

 Nintendork 13 13 7:23 am
    It changes the 3D Beams

 Ultralink1000 7:23 am
    somehow
    with the gyro
    NFC powers

 Nintendork 13 13 7:23 am
    And now there's the Amiibo hockey puck.

 Ultralink1000 7:23 am
    well that's cool

 Nintendork 13 13 7:23 am
    So the Amiibo is pretty small to just fit on the screen like that.

 Ultralink1000 7:23 am
    they're really going at it for the amiibo

 Nintendork 13 13 7:23 am
    (Mari0 is so fat he'll smash your screen)
    I wouldn't let him near my 3DS!
    wtf new SD Card slot

 Ultralink1000 7:24 am
    removable battery
    ?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:24 am
    Access Pointu

 Ultralink1000 7:24 am
    spare stylus

 Nintendork 13 13 7:24 am
    He sends flowers to his PC
    Micro SD card-u
    Bow
    We got 8 minutes left.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:25 am
    no but here's a Japanese guy

 RawkHawk2010 7:25 am
    oh god Pokemon Sunday

 Ultralink1000 7:25 am
    flash support?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:25 am
    ...Apparently.
  
    Or HTML5.

 Ultralink1000 7:25 am
    that's cool too

 RawkHawk2010 7:26 am
    Why is Nintendo trying to sell this over a new Wii U?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:26 am
    I can't tell if my stream is lagging or Iwata is robotic.

 Ultralink1000 7:26 am
    both

 Nintendork 13 13 7:26 am
    Miiverse

 Ultralink1000 7:26 am
    mii verse supports

 Nintendork 13 13 7:26 am
    ...Download speed is somehow faster.

 RawkHawk2010 7:26 am
    what the fuck

 Nintendork 13 13 7:27 am
    (Doesn't that depend on your, y'know, connection?)

 RawkHawk2010 7:27 am
    They purposely imposed limits on the first two 3DSs so they could sell this shit.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:27 am
    By the way the Xenoblade music was awesome.

 Ultralink1000 7:27 am
    I guess it also depended on the read write speeds of the internals

 Nintendork 13 13 7:27 am
    Something new.

 Ultralink1000 7:27 am
    ?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:27 am
    Dat environment
    shiny light

 RawkHawk2010 7:27 am
    Monolith 3DS

 Nintendork 13 13 7:28 am
    It did remind me of Xenoblade
    ...oh shity
    It IS Xenoblade

 Ultralink1000 7:28 am
    whoa

 Nintendork 13 13 7:28 am
    3DS Xenoblade-u port?

 Ultralink1000 7:28 am
    wasn't Xenoblade a 100 hour game?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:28 am
    Yeah.

 Ultralink1000 7:28 am
    how are they going to do that >>

 Nintendork 13 13 7:28 am
    So this joins DKCR 3DS in "let's port Wii games to 3DS"

 RawkHawk2010 7:28 am
    Does New 3DS have a 100-hour battery?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:28 am
    no

 Ultralink1000 7:28 am
    16000 yen go to currency converter

    Micro 2 except it's
    uh
    bigger.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:30 am
    ...and has three new control things.
    (C-stick, ZL, ZR)

 RawkHawk2010 7:30 am
    Well this is better than trying to sell entirely new systems based on design alone.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:30 am
    I remember the Micro cover plates.
    ...And by remember I mean vague memory.
    Did anyone use those? ...or buy a Micro?

 Ultralink1000 7:31 am
    I only bought the famicom one

 Nintendork 13 13 7:31 am
    ...You bought a GB Micro?!
    How was it?

 Ultralink1000 7:31 am
    It was cool
    just
    the size....
    being able to choose brightness was awesome
    ...at the time

 RawkHawk2010 7:31 am
    why the fuck are they releasing two of these

 Ultralink1000 7:32 am
    it had a good screen

 RawkHawk2010 7:32 am
    no one would want a new 3ds non-LL

 Nintendork 13 13 7:32 am
    A big one and a normal one.
    ...
    ;-;
    (fuck you Miyamoto)
    1 minute left
    bow
    ...done.

 Ultralink1000 7:32 am

 RawkHawk2010 7:32 am

 Nintendork 13 13 7:32 am

 Nintendork 13 13 7:32 am
    Final Fantasy Monster Hunter thing

    Shulk trailer.

 RawkHawk2010 7:33 am

 Nintendork 13 13 7:33 am

 Ultralink1000 7:33 am
    that's....about it actually

 Nintendork 13 13 7:33 am
    in CG

 RawkHawk2010 7:33 am
    Ssshshhs.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:33 am
    and then Shulk blasted him off
    and then Marth and Link are like
    "get the fuck out of Smash"

 RawkHawk2010 7:33 am
    Don't spoil you ididiot.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:33 am
    and then Shulk could tell the future

 RawkHawk2010 7:33 am
    I need a trailer.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:33 am
    uhhh

 Ultralink1000 7:33 am

 Nintendork 13 13 7:33 am

 Nintendork 13 13 7:34 am
    oh hey Australian version.
    See Bowser looks awesome.
    And then there is this ASSHOLE.
    "BACK SLASH"
    (he didn't speak English)

 Nintendork 13 13 7:35 am
    But yeah I hate Shulk.

 RawkHawk2010 7:35 am
    Okay. Well they have the music part right.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:35 am
    Yeah music is great.
    "Jump!"

 Ultralink1000 7:35 am
    Dude soundtrack sounds like a good idea for the game  release

 Nintendork 13 13 7:35 am
    They got the British part right.
    OH YEAH
    They're releasing Smash 3DS and Smash Wii U OST CDs.
    ...in Japan.
    and Shulk is shirtless.

 Ultralink1000 7:35 am
    hopefully we get it too ;-;

 RawkHawk2010 7:35 am
    WHAT THE FUCK
    AT THE END

 Nintendork 13 13 7:36 am
    and there's Ridley

 RawkHawk2010 7:36 am
    IS THAT EGGMAN

 Nintendork 13 13 7:36 am
    oh
    We thought it was Ridley

 Ultralink1000 7:36 am
    apparently it's an inkblot test

 Nintendork 13 13 7:36 am
    since it didn't talk.

 Ultralink1000 7:36 am
    and you see what you want to see

 Nintendork 13 13 7:36 am
    I don't WANT to see Ridley!

 Ultralink1000 7:36 am
    clearly it's some sort of xenoblade boss

 Nintendork 13 13 7:36 am
    It's just a big dragon thing.

 RawkHawk2010 7:36 am
    No.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:36 am
    "Monado-boy!"

 RawkHawk2010 7:36 am
    It's Eggman.
    In the Egg Dragoon.

 RawkHawk2010 7:37 am
    It really fucking uis

 Nintendork 13 13 7:37 am
    Well maybe if we played Xenoblade we'd know.

 RawkHawk2010 7:37 am
    Or one of his ships.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:37 am
    "At the end of the reveal trailer was a massive shadow which was hinted to be Metal Face, one of the main antagonists of Xenoblade Chronicles."
    Pics up on the site.
    http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/shulk.html

 Ultralink1000 7:38 am
    Yay!

 RawkHawk2010 7:38 am
    Okay so
    Music aside.
    This character looks boring as all fuck.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:38 am
    Look at pics first
    yeah
    http://www.smashbros.com/images/character/shulk/screen-2.jpg
    Weeaboo

 Ultralink1000 7:38 am
    another sword dude
    but with elemental powers >>?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:39 am
    I don't think they're elemental.
    He was screaming "JUMP" and "SHIELD"

 Nintendork 13 13 7:39 am
    With those Japanese characters.
    Not, uh, "FIRE" or "LIGHTNING"
    http://www.smashbros.com/images/character/shulk/screen-6.jpg
    Dark Link

 Ultralink1000 7:39 am
    http://www.smashbros.com/images/character/shulk/screen-8.jpg

 Nintendork 13 13 7:39 am
    ...yeah.

 Ultralink1000 7:39 am
    his shoes are weird >>

 Nintendork 13 13 7:39 am
    ......That too.
    (He reminds me of Tidus?)

 Ultralink1000 7:40 am
    ....he does

 Nintendork 13 13 7:40 am
    More importantly
    Smash 4 site also has
    a Pre-Order button
    and a Soundtrack CD offer
    http://club2.nintendo.com/smash-promo/
    AHHH
    "Buy and register both the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U games to receive a special soundtrack from Club Nintendo!"
    IT IS COMING TO AMERICA
    "CD art not final"
    (aka it'll be in English not Japanese)

 Nintendork 13 13 7:41 am
    The music on the site is still from Wednesday.

 Ultralink1000 7:41 am
    ugh
    but both is like
    $100
    ;-;

 Nintendork 13 13 7:41 am
    Well, I have them both pre-ordered.

 Ultralink1000 7:41 am
    <<

 Nintendork 13 13 7:42 am
    Pre-ordered the Smash 4 Wii U bundle with the game, GCN controller, and GCN controller adaptor.
    bam
    GETTIN' MY CDs!

 Ultralink1000 7:42 am
    when is the 3DS release date  again?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:42 am
    October 3!
    ...in America.
    September something in Japan.
    Anyway, Shulk's shirtless forme was to counteract the Samus fanservice.
    bam

 Ultralink1000 7:43 am
    ...
    i'm going back to bed >>>

 Nintendork 13 13 7:44 am
    Okay.
    Good night!

 Ultralink1000 7:44 am
    yes

 Nintendork 13 13 7:44 am
    ...Rawk, got anything to say?

 RawkHawk2010 7:45 am
    yes
    what else happened

 Nintendork 13 13 7:45 am
    ...Nothing.
    They showed a new Etrian Odyssey game

 RawkHawk2010 7:45 am
    And why the fuck did NOA not stream this again?

 Ultralink1000 7:45 am
    bravely default too

 RawkHawk2010 7:45 am
    It had a fucking Smash Newcomer.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:45 am
    Oh yeah, Bravely Second.
    And a One Piece game.

 RawkHawk2010 7:45 am
    http://i.4cdn.org/v/1409312429987.png
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK

 Nintendork 13 13 7:46 am
    and that
    ...Welp, that's just about it.

RawkHawk2010 7:47 am
    This is completely stupid.
    A "revision" with a faster CPU so that certain games will only play on it?
    Why not just go ahead and release a 4DS then?

 Nintendork 13 13 7:48 am
    They haven't figured out 4D yet.
    But they did figure out how to have the 3D beams track you.

RawkHawk2010 7:50 am
    so does Smash use the Circle Pad Pro extension for a C Stick

 Nintendork 13 13 7:51 am
    No, it uses the C-stick nub.
    They showed the Circle Pad Pro.
    I think they were basically saying "this is bulky and ugly so here's something better"

 RawkHawk2010 7:52 am
    I thought they were saying "you can also use this."
    So that everyone with a New 3DS playing online doesn't have a fucking advantage.
    Because that's fucking ridiculous.
    I'm fucking mad.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:52 am
    Now you know how I felt when Miyamoto lied about the 3DS XL.
    (While you were laughing at my situation.)

 RawkHawk2010 7:52 am
    At least that didn't offer significant gameplay enhancements!
    With extra BUTTONS

 RawkHawk2010 7:53 am
    Fuck, ZR and ZL too!

 Nintendork 13 13 7:53 am
    A screen the size with the ability to see what's going on is a huge enhancement!

 RawkHawk2010 7:53 am
    Okay, no fucking way.
    Circle Pad Pro has to be compatible.
    Has to be.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:53 am
    Well, we know from Uprising Sakurai's thoughts on it.
    But yeah, I don't need a CPP to do Smash Run.
    And Smash Run is all what I'd use Smash 3DS for!

 RawkHawk2010 7:56 am
    uh
    well you have a Smash at the end of Smash Run
    that you try to win

 Nintendork 13 13 7:56 am
    ...oh.
    ...No biggie.
    http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140829005110/en/Super-Smash-Bros.-amiibo-Pok%C3%A9mon-Hardware-Bundles#.VABqz2NTriU

 Nintendork 13 13 7:58 am
    $13 Amiibos!

 RawkHawk2010 7:58 am
    this character looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring
    He's nothing but counters.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:58 am
    ...yeah.

 RawkHawk2010 7:58 am
    And these aren't fucking new.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:58 am
    At least you can buy a DK Amiibo at launch.

 RawkHawk2010 7:59 am
    btw i also thought the end was K. Rool in the Flyick Krock
    Basically I thought it was everyone besides who it was supposed to be.
    Yeah I'll pass.

 Nintendork 13 13 7:59 am
    (Moffitt is also in that Biz Wire PR)

 RawkHawk2010 7:59 am
    This company's not getting excessive money out of me atm

 Nintendork 13 13 7:59 am
    ('cause you're poor.)

 RawkHawk2010 8:00 am
    No
    I have $500.

 Nintendork 13 13 8:00 am
    Oh yeah Ultimate NES Remix is a thing.

 RawkHawk2010 8:00 am
    I'm just conciensciously objected.

 Nintendork 13 13 8:01 am
    (Which wasn't in the Direct)
    Nintendo has a ton of great games on the way for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. In 2015, Wii U will see the arrival of a new installment in The Legend of Zelda franchise, Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi’s Woolly World, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Star Fox (working title), Mario Maker (working title), Project Giant Robot, Project Guard, Mario vs. Donkey Kong (working title), Mario Party 10 and Devil’s Third
    Project Giant Robot and Project Guard aren't Star Fox minigames.

 Nintendork 13 13 8:02 am
    They're their own games!
    AHAHAAHA

 RawkHawk2010 8:03 am
    Wow.
    Well I guess a Working Title can be "worked" into another one, right?

 Nintendork 13 13 8:03 am
    Star Fox is is worked into Mari0 vs. Donkey Kong?

RawkHawk2010 8:04 am
    btw
    You can use the Circle Pad Pro.

 Nintendork 13 13 8:04 am
    Okay, good to know. (I don't have one so what do I care?)

 RawkHawk2010 8:04 am
    Uh
    You can buy one.

 Nintendork 13 13 8:05 am
    .........
    I'm conciensciously objected.


Ludwig's conscientious objections are everywhere on KoopaTV. Read around, and Follow him on Miiverse at NNID PrinceOfKoopas. You can Follow Rawk at RawkHawk2010, and Kamek at Ultralink1000.


There's another blond-haired big-sword wielder revealed as DLC in another Direct later...
It took six and a half years, but Bowser is finally getting revenge on Shulk's Back Slash.
