LET'S SEE. Also, games for later in the year being announced in a later direct taking place in / around E3, I'm still praying for my FF6 remake. That will be an insta-buy. HERE'S THE NEWS. Sonic & Mario at the Winter Olympics 2014 (wooo...) Using a whole bunch of control schemes. Nintendo & Sega are buddying up even more with Sonic: Lost World announced as a 3DS & WiiU exclusive Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons will be on sale when it is first released on the eShop and players that buy both will be able to unlock the inter-game content. Game and Wario is coming to the UK Super Luigi U is going to be a DLC pack and as a standalone retail title. DLC will be cheaper. Wonderful 101 release announced for September 15th And finally; Iwata discussed all the control schemes for Pikmin 3.

This is probably just to get all the mundane, we-have-to-talk-about-this-because-it's-coming-out-soon stuff out of the way before their big, epic pre-E3 news blowout :o They wouldn't want to steal any thunder from their big show coming up in JUST HALF A MONTH OMIGOSHOMIGOSH

Too bad they didn't show any footage for Lost World. But they also talked about Animal Crossing, Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Ages, Donkey Kong Country 3D, Mario and Donkey Kong: Mini's on the Move, Pikmin 3 (coming out in August!!!). And the other announcement was about the Wii U Resident Evil: Revelations which now has a demo on the Wii U Eshop.

Including one that has nothing to do with Nintendo characters? That's pretty awesome! I wonder what in the world "Lost World" is... it conjures up images of Jurassic Park - dinosaurs and what not. I won't have time to watch it for a while - so what exactly DID they say about Lost World, and the Oracle games?

Pretty much they said they were going to talk about Lost World more around E3. For the Oracle games they announced both games will be discounted to $4.99 until June 20th.

Always tl;dr Posts: 4,821 Group: Former Staff Member #11,315 Joined: October 17, 2008 Gender Male Coins 38, 1 Peek	What about bringing E3 to 100 Best Buy Stores? Oh god, am I willing to wait in line for an hour in order to get some play time with new games? Probably if one of those games is Wind Waker. Other than that though, nothing really appealed to me getting a Wii U before the Launch of WW. That DID look like the best Olympics game they've put out though, and Resident Evil sure looked pretty. I'm really excited to have an HD Nintendo system.

Roar of Mufasa Posts: 9,215 Group: Administration Member #1,391 Joined: February 11, 2006 Gender Male Coins 29	I dunno - Nintendo has a pretty stellar outcome with Sonic titles - Rush, Rush 2, Advance 1, 2, 3, Colors/DS, all have high ratings, while the Mario/Sonic titles have pretty average ones. Even Secret Rings has a decent score - and none of those were published by Nintendo (with the exception of Mario/Sonic, which was published by Nintendo in Japan.) And even then, a 72/76 isn't anything to scoff at. So I'm pretty optimistic. I wonder what the Third title will be - the first is the new Mario/Sonic title, and the second is Lost World. I wonder if we'll get another story book title, or if it'll be something similar to Colors.

It'd be great if any of us got to go!

(Temporarily closed. ...Gwaargh!) doo wee doo wee doo Posts: 3,617 Group: Sage Member #7,789 Joined: February 7, 2008 Gender Male	You know, I had it all planned to play two of my favorite games - EarthBound and The Wind Waker - over this summer and have just an amazing summer game experience, but then Nintendo just had to go and be all awesome and remake WW and rerelease EarthBound. Anyhow, yeah, I kinda figured that this Direct wouldn't be too much - just getting stuff out of the way for the REAL Directs at E3 time ;D EDIT ZOMG just saw the Pikmin 3 screens and such they showed off. Gorgeous! Edited by Togeshroob, May 17 2013, 07:00 PM.

EDIT: I hear the retail one doesn't require you to have New Super Mario Bros. U where the DLC does. Edited by Pyroll7, May 17 2013, 08:06 PM.

I remember seeing the mode available on the screen on one of those Nintendo Directs - Iwata clicked a button, and the screen jumped up from normal mode to Super Luigi U mode. You wouldn't be able to do that in a stand alone version - not without some kind of internal Wii U transition.
