No, this for games that are already announced, likely meaning Wonderful 101, Pikmin, Game & Wario, etc.

So they finally talked about Pikmin 3 again for a second time, but they still didn't have the common courtesy to talk about stuff like the flying pink Pikmin and who the four new characters are.  In contrast, LM2 at least talked about what this Dark Moon was. |

Just watched the Euro direct and the first half of the US version. The Euro direct has a longer scene with LEGO Iwata (with carrot). I liked the The Shawshank Redemption references in the LEGO City Undercover cutscenes. While the Euro direct includes and unboxing/building of the LCU tie in LEGO set. (Great, now I feel like buying it . . .). i.imgur.com/RzDOM.jpgThe Euro version didn't show Game & Wario, but the the footage from the US version looked good. It's nice to know that the game seems to be a good fit for people with less controllers/just the Gamepad (Unlike Nintendo Land). Also it's nice to see some sort of WarioWare style "microgames" present in the "Gamer" minigame. (Hopefully a Youtube video of that should appear soon).Starts at 9:26. "Gamer" use the Gamepad to play microgames as 9-Volt who (on the TV screen) is in bed playing with a portable gaming device, and must watch out for his mother catching him. Apparantly she does not know the age old rule of "always knock." Also Iwata playing G&W, Apple Theif minigame. This minigame has been shown/playable at E3. |

Dat Balloon Fight themed counter! I knew 9-Volts game was going to be classic micro games, and I love seeing Mike hosting a game once again.
Fire Emblem in February... I won't be back to Canada until May at the earliest, so that doesn't do me any good...

Checked the Game & Wario, Luigi's Mansion 2 and Fire Emblem Awakening parts. Not really interested in the others.
Game & Wario looks awesome! 16 games seems to be too few though, seeing how regular WarioWare would include a few long minigames anyway. The ones here seem larger, but I fear it may not last as long as Touched or Smooth Moves.
Luigi's Mansion... Now I want that even more. Graphically, this game looks pretty.
More localised names in Fire Emblem Awakening. Seems that references to the old characters are at least partially back, but still no sign of FE1~6 references. Liz is Lissa and Perezia is Plegia... pretty sensible. Lon'qu seems... unique.

Alm's Blade was shown, so that's something from an old game.

So what do the other players do to identify the Apple Thief? Do they press a button or is it Dora the Explorer style "it's THAT one!"

So what do the other players do to identify the Apple Thief? Do they press a button or is it Dora the Explorer style "it's THAT one!" It's actually Blue's Clue's styl . . . No no no . . . Gamepad player is the "thief" while the other 1 to 4 players (number selected before starting) watching the TV are the "agents" who watch the TV and trying to figure out who the theif is. When time is up or 3 apples have been collected by the thief, the gamepad gets passed to each "agent" (again depending on how many agents are "playing") who tries to selects who they thought the thief is from a line up of the little characters. From what I see the longer the game is played, more hints will be given to the "agents" (eg the rectangle/snapshot that shows the thief is within a certain area during the Iwata video) so their is a real balance between trying to get the apples quickly (and ending the game sooner) or delay grabbing them and make a longer game with possible hints to the agents. At least that's how I understand it . . . |

Alm's Blade was shown, so that's something from an old game. Oh, I saw that in the forging part. The first time I watched it, I didn't notice. Now I wonder how it will treat SpotPass characters. I hope they just keep everything; most FE players with Internet access are fully aware of the series' history and there's nothing to hide. So what do the other players do to identify the Apple Thief? Do they press a button or is it Dora the Explorer style "it's THAT one!" WarioWare smooth Moves style. That game is meant for 12 players and played with a single controller. |

> A wild Nintendo Direct appeared! > It uses "hold and display random fruit/vegetable* for 3 seconds"> Audience is confused . . . > . . . Audience hurt itself in the confusion! (B***** F***** Audience! How is that even possible!) > Nintendo Direct uses "brand new Pokemon info!"> Audience took a critical hit!* I'm guessing vegetable, like a potato or something since the last one was a carrot. This presentation will only be 10 minutes long according to Serebii.net ![]() i.imgur.com/bOGU6.png[/img]  Countdown Based on time from your computer. (Images/links taken from NeoGAF) |

There have been a lot of hints for a new Eeveelution! I would say it's a sixth generation that contains several evolved forms of previous Pokémon, like the fourth one was. Or at the very least, a bridging game, like how Gale of Darkness for GameCube had Bonsly in it.

Well, if Iwata is talking Pokemon and it's being broadcast everywhere this will be big. CoroCoro on suicide watch now.
