Europe gets the shortest ND and of course no demos of E3 games. Ha, fun.

On the other hand, we're getting The Wonderful 101 on 23 August, rather than somewhere in September.

Australians are subhuman to Nintendo. Everyone else actually gets things.

Nobody lives in Australia... They survive Australia.

Welp, I'm a pretty happy camper right now.

KoopahTroopah

So...no new Metroid yet?

This thread title is a cruel joke. And I don't like it.

skeldare

Wow, 5 pages since I left last night. Pretty nice direct, though outside of Sonic and a Wonderful 101 date, nothing surprising. Can't believe Europe gets EVERYTHING before us though. :evil:

Edit: Oh and I fucking hate streaming on my phone.

@KoopahTroopah: That'll be later.

Let me be happy about Sonic.

Do we know if EU is getting Oracle of Ages and Seasons at the same time as the US?

If you haven't played Super Metroid... it'd be new.

Just wait until E3 I guess.

Sega partnership yay! New Sonic!

I'm going to wait and buy the physical copy of NSL. It'll give me more time to whittle down my backlog.

They weren't even mentioned in the EU direct, so probably not.

Also Sega just announced a three game exclusive deal with Nintendo. Sonic and Mario, Sonic Lost World, and a mystery game to be announced later.

I'm calling it. Shenmue 3: Wii U Exclusive.

I'm still bitter that Europe gets Pikmin and Wonderful 101 before America. :P

Nintendo is so biased.

No no...it's Skies of Arcadia 2: Pirate Harder

Oniros25

I'm hoping for a new Phatasy Star. Not even a PSO necessarily, just more Phantasy Star plz...

skeldare

Sega needs to bring back Ristar.

edzepp

Isn't the third just another Sonic game?

WotanAnubis

I'm thinking it's just going to be three Sonic games.

Look Out it's Sabs!

Well looks like I'm going to be buying oracle of ages and seasons, and luigis campaign, and hell yeah new sonic game. I'm pumped!

Disappointing, but not unexpected I suppose.

It's gonna be Total War, just you wait and see!

Now is the time for Chu Chu Rocket U

I was trying to figure out why Nintendo would make demos available at Best Buy instead of on the eShop. I guess they want people to try some demos then decide to buy a WiiU, instead of appeal to the small existing user base.

It almost makes sense!

But they could put 'em on the eShop as well. C'moooonnnnn

So holy shit, it looks like Sega and Nintendo are definitely getting cozy.

So we're up to the point where Nintendo is funding the next Sonic game, I'm guessing it won't be long until Nintendo flat out buys them. I'm partly joking, but it wouldn't be a terrible move

I doubt it would happen; though I don't doubt Nintendo has the money, probably on hand, if they did want to.

But...that would actually be a potentially big deal, historical bizarreness aside. With their purchase of Relic, and already owning Platinum and Creative Assembly, it gives them a bit wider brush than Nintendos own in-house studios.

I mean, it's not as if that'd just magically turn everything around for the WiiU, Sega doesn't have that many really big selling IP's anymore; though back during the short period I actually played sports games I liked Segas better; if they could get licenses again...

Though, with the clusterfuck of management at SquareEnix that we got a view of recently...they seem more ripe for needing a buyout than Sega.

That...that would be a big deal (and still entirely unlikely...though; if Nintendo is that desperate...I bet they have the money for even that).

Brainiac 8

Sega doesn't own platinum

It's been a lifetime since I played them, but IIRC they were two different games that, if you synced them up, would unlock nearly a third game's worth of content.

Oh you're right, I don't know why I thought that. :rotate:

Yes, two completely different games that when you beat one you get a code to enter into the other. When you beat the second game, you get a completely new final boss.

They are totally different games. Basically what you do is beat one, then link that into the second one for a New Game+ type experience. I think some stuff carries over from the other game, and ultimately you get a new, extra last boss when you link the two games.

corin7

Dat Luigi box art. Totally waiting and going physical on it.

TehSpectre

Yeah, just a new final boss and some extra items you could get backtracking between games.

I admit I found it much more appealing than the OG NSMBU boxart.

Also, the green box itself is kinda neat.

Rizzi

Also, one of the games was more action/comat focused, and the other was more focused on puzzles.

The Dude With Herpes

Man, I shouldn't have even mentioned the idea of Nintendo buying SquareEnix.

I was already tingling with giddiness at the prospect of sitting back and watching the internet melt down at the idea of a Nintendo exclusive FFVI or VII remake.

However; the idea of Nintendo outright owning Final Fantasy?

I mean, we joke about peoples heads exploding...but man...I think it could actually happen. The wails...you could hear them a world away.

But on a more realistic take; I think that would be over Nintendos head. SE owns too many properties that they couldn't just suddenly make Nintendo exclusive, not to mention the PC games that Nintendo just has absolutely no experience with. They'd pretty much just have to let the Eidos side of the company still function independently; and there'd be too many games already in production for the PS4 etc that would be too expensive to just cancel and the prospects of Nintendo publishing games on Sony or Microsoft platforms, even if through a subsidiary is just weird.

Now the idea is bouncing in my head trying to figure out the logistics of it. It'll never happen but it's fun to toy with.
