Compared to the last direct, I felt this one was so much better.
Last time we didn't get anything but "HEY WE'RE WORKING ON STUFF TUNE IN NEXT TIME".

It's still nice to see they have stuff coming.

[Commander Fuckass]

Tec is just a full converted Sony fan now tho.
So

yeah, at least now we know that there's actual content in the works

although the 3ds seems to be getting a lot more love than the wii u lol

Have you seen some of the things I say about Sony?

Poor Wii U. 

Though with Game and Wario coming in June and Pikmin in August along with the VC and eShop games...it should keep me busy.

I'm actually surprised that Nintendo's finally making good games.

i'm also relieved

[Hiro]

The visual styles of Yoshi's Island, Mario & Luigi, and that new Zelda are really lovely.
I'm going to make it my new mission to get that 3DS, I'd like to think the email I sent them persuaded them to do this 

There's actually quite a few 3DS games I want now:
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Fire Emblem Awakening
Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning
Kid Icarus Uprising
Legend of Zelda Link to the Past Sequel
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Mario Golf: World Tour
Mario Kart 7
Mario Tennis: Open Court
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Mario Party
Paper Mario Sticker Star
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Super Mario 3D Land
Tales of the Abyss
Yoshi's Island 3DS

[Kalahari Inkantation]

I... I don't see Star Fox 64 3D on that list.

I was hoping that the Ace Attorney/Professor Layton crossover would be coming to the US when I saw Tec's post.  Then I read the opening post and was horribly disappointed.

i'm not particularly worried about whether or not layton/ace attorney will be localized, i believe level 5 at least has already indicated that it'll be coming over lol

[Commander Fuckass]

Dream Team Bros looks boss as fuck doe

[ncba93ivyase]

yoshi's island looks ugly as hell

m&l has great art but i haven't liked any of the games since the first one

zelda looks a bit nasty visually but it'll probably be good and they'll probably clean it up considering how good games like luigi's mansion look
