Nintendo Direct 17th May 2013

[DaggerV]

Nope Got a Wii-U and monster hunter on way in, now I just wait.

NSLBU stand alone, I get the feeling they're gonna screw us on the price of this, especially since there's a standalone version.

Did the UK feed not give you guys a price?

 

[chartube12]

ugh! I was hoping for more 3DS news. This direct was mostly about the Wii Bore U

 

[Eerpow]

Just a reminder direct, nothing new. Not that much left until E3 so it doesn't matter much.

 

[JulietStMoon]

I want to be able to buy the gamepad tablet on its own.
But after reading about how it works, I am not sure if WiiU willl support more than one of those per WiiU?
Still, what if mine breaks -.-

Wii U supports two, but no games (in America at least) support two yet, so there's no need to sell second ones retail yet. I heard that you can get a replacement/repair from Nintendo, though

 

[Jiehfeng]

It was just a "Updates on announced games" direct. So I don't be so disappointed guys.

What if I tell them I lost mine?
would they sell me one?

It was crap. a new Mario game, another stupid sports game and another pikman game. Absolutely nothing that wants me to keep this WiiU.
Looks like I'll be selling it really soon as its already dead. There is nothing coming for it so why keep a dead console.
Dead as no games, its working perfectly but I never turn it on so I might as well sell it while its still worth something.

I imagine so.

How the heck would you lose a gamepad the size of Texas, though?

 

[Ryupower]

gamepad repair or replacement
from what I have read it is $150

 

[Chaossaturn]

I´m the only one hyped for Pikmin 3??

I can't wait for it, it is my most anticipated game of the year!

 

[Taleweaver]

Hmm...I wouldn't say "hyped"...but I certainly became interested. This doesn't look like "yet another installment of the franchise", that's for sure.

 

[blaisedinsd]

The big news for me, at least in NA, was the bestbuy partnership. Bringing E3 to the people. We will be able to play unreleased Wii U games at bestbuy during E3.

That's pretty cool. That's the only reason I ever went to E3 myself.

LOL I didn't lose it but just saying.. so I can get a second one.

DAFUQ! you serious? damn, I can buy another 3DS with that price o.O almost.

no prices ever

 

[wojiaolsya]

Nothing to say, just wait

 

[chartube12]

no prices ever

For the US the prices were 19.99 for the add-on. 29.95 for the standalone version. Your prices shouldn't be too different.

 

[SSVAV]

No one hyped for the new Sonic game?

That artwork... it is gorgeous.

Plus, if that is the new overworld for the game (it obviously seems like it), it means that Lost World may include some form of stage editing or the like.

Seriously? No one?

I just found out (I missed the direct), and I'm really excited. Will be nice to see a new good Sonic game. Generations was a giant leap in the right direction in a lot of ways, but it didn't feel much like a "full" proper Sonic since it was so short.
