Ah, Bayonetta, the game where the developer literally told Super Smash Bros. fans to "**** off" on Twitter.

Cat it appears that I am about 30 seconds behind you.

I just love how humble Iwata is during these presentations.

Oh, that's the X everyone keeps talking about.

"What did you think"

I don't play Bayonetta and I don't want to.

lolsupersmashbros

Ugh this is BS, I'll have to watch this later (still hates all of you who can watch it).

Hahahaha, no title!

And of course I get massive lag.

MEGA MAN CONFIRMED IN SUPER SMASH BROS.!

The gameplay for Bayonetta 2 reminds me quite a bit of God of War.

EDIT: And it seems I'm behind by quite a bit.

Well, I'm enjoying the remixed Dr. Wily's theme music while watching the video at literally 0.3 fps.

SUPER SMASH BROS. DOJO RETURNING.

I haven't got to the bit about Super Smash yet.

SUPER SMASH BROS!!! YESSSS!!!!

They punked us, I thought there was going to be an Animal Crossing game! But yes Super Smash Bros Wii U!!!!!!!!!!

Super Smash Bros for 3DS!!!!!!!!!!!!

MEGAMAN CONFIRMED CHARACTER!

The stream died for me. Did it end?

Villager confirmed for SBB

And I think that's all folks.

Stream died for me aswell, might have ended.

Stream died....AT THE BEST PART! D:<

Yeah that's all of it. Length: 40 minutes. Kinda short, but sweet.

To be honest, I didn't really see anything that would push me to get a Wii U. The only thing might be SSB, but I have a 3DS for that.

Yeah, looks like it's over. They ended with Smash Bros.

Alright, Nintendo, FIX YOUR NINTENDO DIRECT PAGE before the next stream. It redirects to an "address not valid" page in IE because the URL is broken, it refreshes constantly in Firefox, and the page is malformed in Chrome and Opera.

And now to let it all soak in.

I'll be back at the Wii U showcase.

Fairy type thread: http://victoryroad.net/showthread.php?t=11265

It's confirmed it over: https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/statu...64600529526784

Judging by the replies to that tweet, the stream was universally broken. Dang, Nintendo.

It was a very good stream, looks like I might buy a Wii U instead of the PS4 now.

Yeah, I'm pretty much sold on the Wii U at this point (once I get some money ), with the PS4 following in a couple years. Xbox One can go back to the drawing board.

My School's 4G service sucks so I couldn't even keep up with my cell phone, but I'm watching the conference now.

So Marill is going to be a fairy type but not Clefairy? Lame
Pokemon Amie looks like another stupid gimmick that's not needed but will be needed for something sepcial

Finally another Mario game where you can play as Peach.

Cat Suit, now that's just silly.

Now I need a Wii U once I get the money just like Cat.

The only thing that's missing from Mario Kart 8 is the ability to team up

Only 3rd party games missing are the ones made by EA.

Oh god no not tingle!

Okay I'm guessing Dixie Kong died a long time ago oh wait no she's alive.

Lol the Villager from Animal Crossing is Playable.

Also **** Yeah Mega Man the way fans actually like him!

*has to install updates on a Windows computer*
Hmm this will only take forever
*watches Nintendo Direct on YT with no lag and on a better internet connection*
That's better, now I can finally say things.

Pokemon X/Y continue being awesome.
New Mario game looks interesting. I like the four players they chose, it's like Mario 2. Also cat costumes, interesting. Climbing up the flag at the end is cheating.
NEW MARIO KART EFF YEAH! Back to the Future style hoverpods on the karts to drive vertically and stuff, that's just nuts. Can't wait to try that.
New DK Country cool. Still need to play Returns
NEW SMASH BROS ASDLJFASDLFJASLKDfj. Mega Man eh? An interesting choice for new character. And yeah, the Animal Crossing bit at first mislead me as well.
Also saw mention of new Yoshi's Island game, can't wait for more on that.

Also there are a ton of pictures+artwork for all these new games here.

Okay so now it's time for the developer interviews.

OH BOY JUST WATCHED NINTENDO DIRECT EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING

I'M SO EXCITED I SHOULD PROBABLY JUST SAVE ALL MY MONEY FOR GAMES AND NOT BUY ANYTHING FOR A YEAR OR SO

AND M-M-M-M-M-M-MEEEEGAAAAA MYAAAAAAN FOR SMASH 4 OH MAN THIS IS THE BEST HAL-BIRTHDAY EVER

Oh my god, Wii Fit trainer confirmed for SSB!

Pokemon X/Y news: Good stuff, amie looks pretty stupid but I'll forgive them

Mario 3D World: Not gonna lie, didn't seem like much of a system seller and not too much like the Galaxies but it could be good. I'll have to see

MarioKart 8: Blew my mind, not gonna lie, thought it was cooler than 3D World. Definitely picking it up.

Party/Fit U: Whatever, not into those, was never a fan of party games, not even MarioParty

3rd Party/Indie stuff: Knew most of it already, not many surprises

Wind Wak-YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSINEVER PLAYEDWINDWAKERANDTHISLOOKSSOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOL

Wonderful101:Just as awesome as ever.

DKTF: So, this is Rare's next project? A minor disappointment in that it wasn't something bigger, but not saying it's a bad game. The game looks AMAZING, I was just hoping for something bigger. I guess that's what I get for getting my hopes up.

Bayonetta 2: Not gonna lie, not a fan of the aesthetics, but it still looks pretty neat.

Monolith Soft's title: Didn't see much story... At least it still looks intriguing, I liked the gameplay footage more from the first trailer, though. Definitely getting it, though, knowing that MS knows how to make an RPG(Unlike freaking making FFXIII Versus XV >:I, I'm looking at you, Square Enix).

(Waiting through the entire Direct for it, not being fooled by the beginning because I is smart. )Super Smash Brothers: I like how they changed the aesthetics for the 3DS and Wii U versions, smart move. Kinda surprised that Villager is the first newcomer shown, not one of my first picks. xD BUT THEN WHA- WHA... MEGGIDA MEGGIDA MAAAN~! AWW YEAH MEGA MAN IS GOING TO DESTROY THIS GAME WITH ALL OF HIS ABILITIES MY BODY IS READY NOW, REGGIE.

And that's just from the Direct. There's tons more videos on their YT channel, now. I'd say not quite as good as Sony, but still great nonetheless. I'm just glad nothing looked actually bad. Good job, Nintendo(except for the apparent technical issues during the presentation)!

I'm guessing there isn't going to be a stream for the Wii U conference? Haven't been able to find one.

Yeah, I'm not finding any live broadcasts of the Wii U showcase.

Uhh, yeah, I don't think this is being streamed. Odd, I thought it was.

Well, it doesn't look like Pokémon Direct will be streamed either.

Instead, we get to stare at a boring Twitter page for 90 minutes.

Seriously? They hyped it up for a long time, and it's just a stupid Twitter feed? C'mon, we want to see and hear it!

... I think my heart just sank.
I was seriously looking forward to this today!

Looks like their Facebook page confirms it'll only be the Twitter feed. I am seriously disappointed.

Yeah I find that very annoying.

I'm going to predict they will reveal the main pokemon games will be revealed for Virtual Console with backwards capability with X and Y.

A picture of a Sky Battle has been leaked.

Okay live tweeting is going to start in a couple minutes.

Should be starting any minute now.

Nintendo Direct reaction:

Pokemon X/Y news: I love everything about this, and I'm so READY.

Mario 3D World: I like the Galaxy style and I love that they're going to have Peach as a playable character! It's just like Mario Bros. 2!

MarioKart 8: Anti-gravity! That's pretty darn cool!

Party/Fit U: Party games aren't my thing, so no comment, really.

3rd Party/Indie stuff: Most of it was familiar, until the Sonic game came on... I noticed something that makes it an instant seller for me. Whenever Sonic would destroy an enemy, an animal would appear. Those of us who have played SOnic: Adventure Battle 2 know that this means chaos! I love love love love raising chaos!

Wind Waker: WHOO. A chance to play this game again!

Wonderful101: This may be worth a try...

DK Country: Huh, DK isn't really my type of series, so this is alright.

Bayonetta 2: Okay.

Monolith Soft's title: Same as above.

Super Smash Bros.: AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! <3 EDIT: Wait a second... Oh my goodness! Skyloft from LoZ is now an arena! And there look to be a few locations throughout Skyloft too, or maybe it's a changing stage...

The meeting has just begun!

And it's starting!

Mr. Tsunekazu Ishihara, President and CEO of The Pokémon Company, is now taking the stage!

Quick note on Super Mario 3D World: Furries much?

Gameboy Color, Pokemon Gold or Silver I don't really remember though.

Gameboy Advance SP here.

WHAT WILL BE REFINED ABOUT THESE ASPECTS?! TELL ME YOUR SECRETS.

Come on Virtual Console with backward capability to XY.

Inb4talkaboutFairytype

Junichi Masuda is now on stage!

Way to reveal absolutely nothing in the first half hour

Maybe they're trying to build up the excitement...? *shrugs*

Jeez, nearly a million Japanese characters. That's insane.

Over 1.4 million words in English, eh?

Oh wow, you actually get to choose which language to play the game in!

WOAH, a choice of language for once?!

Wait wait wait, can I change and pick a language on my game cart, or do I have to buy a specific version?! I would play in Japanese, Spanish, English AND French ALL THE TIME.

Gotta use that extra space for useless stuff that isn't an extra game file.

The PSS lets you search for players locally?

I can finally find players in my neighborhood!

If the Player Search System is going to improve the GTS, please let us filter out cloners and noobs searching for Lv. 9 Palkia!

Looks like 2 Pokémon are battling each other (dunno if they're new Pokémon!)

But it is possible to get a Lv 9 Palkia from HGSS

Show us the Pokémon!

Skrelp and Clauncher are new Pokémon!

And can I see a picture of them, please?

Those pokemon have already been leaked on Pokebeach

Pictures

2 attached images

Yay, they're talking about a Pokémon that was already revealed...

I'd seriously love to see the 3D modeling.

And I really want to see more about Pokémon-Amie. Stop teasing and put these videos up!

According to Pokébeach there will be other types of Pokémon that will be rideable, including Rhydon. YAY!

Amie has a benefit? What is it?

The Pokémon Amie will have an effect in battle! (Possibly Friendship/Happiness?)

Hoard encounters...?
(There's a 5 against 1 battle going on)

Horde battles sound awesome.

So... the Amie will give EV increases for using it? I surely hope these "additional benefits in battle" aren't random, the metagame would fall on its side xD

5 TO ONE BATTLES EXCUSE ME

Horde encounters? 5-against-1?!

BRING ON THE HORDE CHALLENGE. MY BODY MAY BE READY.

It would explain this picture

1 attached image

Judging by the picture...they look difficult ._.

Even sky battles! Awesome!

Can we get details on Sky Battles, please?

Sky battle demo now in progress!
