Knight Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm happy, but a little disappointed it's just to games launching this year. Maybe they'll surprise us with the Zelda Wii U announcement, that'd be a pleasant surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 nooooo, why, tomorrow I'm at university from 8-6pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Aw, that means no SSB news... But does mean we could see more Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Pokemon X/Y stuff. ^^ I really need something like this right now after the crap I've been going through.

Fruity Insanity Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Not sure about the X & Y stuff, considering how Pokemon gets special treatment, the bundles are already out, and the game is coming out in less than 2 weeks...

Anacybele Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Pokemon doesn't always get special treatment. It's shown up in directs that also focused on other games before. I didn't know that the bundles were already released though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) True, it doesn't always get special treatment. I'm just skeptical about whether there's something significant enough to justify its announcement in a Nintendo Direct. If it's just a new Pokemon or two, then they'll probably announce through some other source, such as corocoro or their Facebook page or something. I'm all for new Pokemon news. I just don't think there'll be much more news. Not at this point, at least. And yeah, the bundle came out on the 27th, I think. Or was it the 28th...? Something like that.

VincentASM Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Any interesting news for people? Apparently there's an Ace Attorney 5 demo available now, but I don't see it in the eShop. Maybe they're still updating? Link Between Worlds looked good and I liked the increased dungeon freedom. Finally, Bravely Default is out on December 6 in Europe and there'll be a artbook for pre-orders plus a mysterious collector's edition. EDIT Found the demo!

Anacybele Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I had made a post about what I picked up from the direct, but the internet on my phone crapped up when I tried to hit post.. >_> I liked the news for SM3D World and Zelda: A Link Between Worlds! I MUST HAVE THAT LUIGI WII REMOTE. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOOOO, it's set for "Q1 of 2014" in NA... ;~; I guess it's payback time for NA getting FE:A first? EDIT: Here's a round-up of what happened in NOA's Nintendo Direct.
