Nintendo have just released a press release announcing a new Nintendo direct scheduled for this Thursday, November 12th at 2pm PT.

Please note that the presentation will not feature any updates on NX and mobile.

Nintendo Direct

I say he might be in it; there are two dlc character slots left so I hope one of them is for Sora.

If people voted for Sora, he'd be there. But it sounds to me like people were voting for Shovel Knight and Shantae more than anybody else. Or it could also be that the most vocal was people who liked these characters, but might have actually voted for someone else. Or not even voted at all.

But whatever. Cloud got in, and people got salty instead of happy about it. I guess they (guessing Sony fans) don't want Nintendo's filthy mitts over recently-resurrected Cloud Strife FIRST before Sony's exclusive FFVII remake.

tp hd doesn't really look any different to me

nearly all 3ds yep that WAS disappointing and the wiiu games they showed were either indy crap or shit like animal crossing PARTY

bring on xeno X and than the NX wiiu is finished

I remember I read somewhere that it takes approximate 6 months to make a dlc character so I guess Nintendo had not chosen Cloud cause of the ballot.

He was probably already in the works before the ballot even came to, and definitely before Sony's E3 revival of FF7.

Tbh, all I heard was "AMIIBO CARDS OMG AND NEW AMIIBO FIGURES!!! WOOO WEEEE" but what made it better is clouds announcement and old gen pokemon.

Twilight Princess on Wii U and Pokémon Red/Blue on 3DS

Twilight Princess HD makes sense, since the original one's textures almost looked low res enough to be on the N64.

Cloud Amiibo

TPHD looks like an incredibly half assed port imo. After what they pulled off with wind waker, a game that already looked great, its incredibly disappointing to see how weak the graphics are in TP HD when that game needed a real improvement.

Once again, I am severely disappointed with this Nintendo Direct. Seriously, in all fairness, the "surprise ending" is an update to Sm4sh and not a new game? That's the surprise?

We didn't even see the new CEO... come on.

 

[Bladexdsl]

that just had to put gamepad gimmicks into star fox didn't they?

 

[KingVamp]

All that whining.

Well, yes, an HD version with new improved textures would make sense.
But what they showed looks like a dirty upscale, still with the same N64 level textures (I will keep going with your exageration, because it is appropriate).
The textures only look smoother and somewhat blurrier, like they just applied some automated upscale filter, hence, Twilight Princess U(pscale Edition).
Also, the polycount really hurts. It was Ok on the Wii, but an HD version would really benefit from more detailed 3D models.

Yeah, that post was before I watched the clip. I think I'll just stick to Dolphin and texture packs.

 

[Bladexdsl]

i don't think nintendo knows what HD is

 

[Muffins]

Boy, Nintendo really hates Metroid now, don't they?

They didn't even give poor Samus a mention.

Metroid? Did we have an IP called Metroid?
Oh, yeah, that Federations thing, keep on going with that, but I don't know anything about a Samus.

I can't believe there's going to be a Resetti Amiibo but no construction Mario

Comparison video of Zelda TLP Wii U vs the orginal Wii version.



The textures have improved. The only problem is its low polygon count. I don't expect much more work on it as their focus is probably most on the new Zelda game.
