I saw this on my local news, no joke.

So that means the public actualy cares about Nintendo making smartphone games?

 

I wonder what NX is. It's either a new handheld, or some kind of fusion platform.

Not quite, doesn't rule anything out really... maybe not a new 3d mario game on Wii U but maybe a remaster of galaxy(s) or sunshine , wishful thinking of course.  

I think they mean they will "reinvent" Mario by the time the new system has been released?

honestly, what Ninteneo needs (except for Metroid, we will always need moar Metroid until they start milking the franchise which they won't)

 

is a proper 3D Mario

 

I liked SM3DW, but we need something like SMG.

Funny thing is the poster of that info admitted to faking it all. Either got lucky on the date or just a fake admitting a fake or whatever. Only time will tell, I will take any direct with a surprise or two.

Can you source me on that?

Legit Direct Date/Times,

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rumor stuff below

It's rumoured for april 1st. This seems pretty legit, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. It's about time for a New Direct, and they usually air on wednesdays. And yes, this might very well be a April's Fool's Joke.

 

What doesn't seem legit is the fact that N64 games will be upscaled to 720p and will be made widescreen. That would be a big task for Nintendo.

 

Pokemonrumbleworld.com has apparently been patented by Nintendo though

So.. the rumors might acdtually be true now. April 1st 3:00pm (albeit for Germany, and not the US) was confirmed by it. We'll see. If they show a proper Paper Mario and Star Fox I'll be a happy man until E3.

It's medicore af imo.

This game looks so boring and mediocre.

I loved Iwata and I will miss seeing him announce Nintendo greatness. Directs and E3 will never be the same.

yeah that is the easiest route i think

 

the path with the goombas is also a way of completing it, it takes you to an area where you get yoshi but i think it is slightly more challenging 

 

 

 

these are the two most challenging levels i've played, i really want to beat them both but i get so frustrated

Even I get frustrated with my own level. No one else has beaten this level so far, I tend to think it's too hard and I should make easier levels.

Yoshi's 8-bit world:
5247-0000-0082-09E4

Easy, relaxing and pretty to look at. Try to find the three secret 1-ups!


Save the Shrooms 2.0
313F-0000-0081-E33B

Fun, slightly challenging level where you need mushrooms. Try to find the secret exit!

Through Time and Space 1-1
B203-0000-007A-7546

Part 1 of a series. You start out as 8-bit mario and finish in HD.

I have plenty more. I love this game, but the upload limit is annoying. I would love more stars. I put a lot of time in these. I will check out your levels as well.

Nice levels guys.

I would really, really appreciate it if you'd check out some of my levels. I created a very difficult level (took me at least 50 tries, finetuning and all.) I would like to apologize for an unfair death after the first blue platform, but all the other parts are fun tricky jumps. I spent a lot of time on it, but no one really seems to play it. I also have some fun medium-challenges.

 

The code is 70EB-0000-0038-2840. Good luck guys.

Was that not cancelled? The Next Level Games Metroid.

 

 

Yeah, think he is referring to this though http://kotaku.com/ni...troi-1590142491

 

The Next Level Metroid was cancelled, but since Nintendo claims to be working on 2 types of Metroid, they might revive the project. The concept art looked amazing IMO, so I hope they do. (just predicting a lot of butthurt fanboys for Nintendo using a different artstyle)

e3 should give us a better picture. I think we have a year and a half or so yet of releases... I would expect another main mario title on the 3ds and a few more n3ds exclusives.

Nintendo usually doesn't have more than two main Mario games on a handheld, but somehow I expect one. I'm just getting tired of the NSMB style, and I've had enough 3D land/world style for a while as well. Maybe they should revamp 2D Mario.

 

We know there has been work on a 3DS Metroid, but will it be ready anytime soon?

I've been discussing this with a friend, and to be fair, the 3DS already has an impressive line-up. However, there's literally not a single interesting game on the way that appeals to me. So what do you think? Will Nintendo announce something good at E3? How long will the 3DS last? And more importantly, where the F is our 3DS Metroid?

Do we know if the game's headed for Xbox 360 and PS3? Cause I'm really getting tired of those 2 consoles and devs should focus more on getting the best out of better hardware.

My friend is considering buying one for Mario Maker.

Not bad, but disappointing compared to the 100 levels were told previously. But I heard Nintendo will make new levels and release them online as well, so whatever. 

The only downside so far is that there seem to be some elements missing that I would like to return. People have done many things with golden shells in lunar magic, for example. I also love chargin' chucks, baby Yoshi's, SMB2 Vegetables and vertical levels (especially the ones without walls). Stuff like this and maybe an overworld editor would make good DLC.

I have a really specific question if anyone knows the answer. Have ALL of the abillites of the respective generations been preserved? The one I'm thinking of in particular is the SMW ability to throw shells upwards. If I remember rightly, that only existed in that generation. They removed it for the more recent games and you could only throw shells left or right.

I hope it is. It makes for smoother gameplay and could be used for simple puzzles and such. Keep me posted if you find out.

Throwing shell upwards confirmed.

This leak makes me feel.. weird. Like, I see why people can get excited over this, but it's not something I want. I don't hope this will be the big 3DS reveal of this E3, just something minor.

I'm not that excited for E3 this year to be honest... they will only talk about 2015 games, and we already lots of "big" games coming this year, so how much else interesting new games could they possibly reveal? After they said Zelda won't be shown this E3, I officially lost hope for it to be as good as last year (which doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to it anyhow)

 

However  I mustn't forget the fact that SM3DW was revealed at E3 and released the same year and it was an excellent game. So maybe they'll do something similar with a game like Metroid, who knows... Just not getting my hopes up.

"There should be little to no similarity to the Wii and Wii U"

 

This is important.The Wii was a succesful fad from 10 years ago, but people got over it. Core gamers don't really like it and casuals moved on. They need something new. I also think they should stop the DS branding. Nintendo needs something new that makes people go "Wow, this looks so cool and trendy, I need it!"

New Metroid = day 1 buy for me and a lot of dedicated gamers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mario Kart 8 DLC is the best DLC ever.
