Nintendo Direct Mini 7.18.13 

14:59 Looking back on the time when Nintendo was desperate enough to list Disney's Planes on a list of games coming out for the Wii U.

2018 anyone?

3 years and still no sign of Flipnote Studio 3D... * cries in corner *

Something tells me you're excited for EarthBound.

I want his Olimar shirt :c

"obey the captain" I love that shirt!

Earth bound.. When will you be a WiiU HD ;^;

For those of you who are interested The Wii U is on sale in ASDA and AMAZON UK for an amazing £149.99 for the basic 8gb model.

2019?

make a special earthbound gamepad, with smell releasing so when you move the stylus on the manual you can smell it.

Why the fuck did the video start with him eating an apple??? Stupid Nintendo

For people like me who live in rural Illinois, that Streetpass + Nintendo Zone feature is amazing. It gives me a chance to interact with other people I may not ever see normally. I guess I have a reason to get the new Streetpass Games now!

It brought a tear to your eye for a different reason

Frame rate (also known as frame frequency) is the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. The term applies equally well to film and video cameras, computer graphics, and motion capture systems. Frame rate is most often expressed in frames per second (FPS) and is also expressed in progressive scan monitors as hertz (Hz).

Those pictures were from the Best Buy I was at!

Only works on bootleg carts and cart copiers. The copy protection in this game has layers that check certain aspects of the game ROM and the actual cartridge. This game runs on all SNES emulators just fine.

Actually my definition of a true gamer is one that plays the classics (nes, snes, n64) and the new generations I still

NintendoZone StreetPass actually sounds awesome. I pass through several Nintendo Zones a day, so it'll be nice to add a few extra passes to the mix, besides just the regulars.

Nintendo never fails to bring an audience to their attention with awesome consoles and games.

nintendo make a super waluigi 3d

When they said Earthbound was out today, I was throwing my money at the sceen.

Back when the Nintendo Direct had Bill Trinen, Reggie Fils Amie and Satoru Iwata.

There's a new screenshot everyday and the game comes out next year and the developer is still working it constantly. I think we can wait.

They've been doing that since 2006 and the Zelda games have been getting much better.

Yes, Earth Bound was finally released on the Wii U Virtual Console! Now I only hope that Nintendo releases Earth Bound Zero / Mother 1 in America one day too.

Maybe a little but most people who want it want it for the original copy or cartridge for a collection not just a download.

They were in the last update. They are all really fun.

Mini?! that was a mouthful. I cannot wait to see what the extra gamepad features will be with third-party games. I'm glad Ubisoft is publishing first run titles on Wii U. The possibilities for cool gameplay w/ Splinter Cell and Watchdogs is driving me crazy. Cannot wait.

My greatest ambition in life is to catch a purple Pikmin in New Leaf.

The sound was so intense he didn't need to.

That Nintendo Zone Explanation. THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!

because Nintendo is bringing the franchise to America in the first time in 18 years. Plus this shows that they might have enough Interest to make Mother 4 maybe one day..... maybe.

Thank you Nintendo for helping us North Americans get more Street Passes! I only get about one or two people a day when I walk around campus at my University, but now I will hopefully get even more through my local Best Buy! ... I really need more Street Passes because I want to play more Mii Force...

*sighs* yeah the Majoras mask and the triforce do make you all powerful.

BECAUSE APPLES ARE BADASS, DONT QUESTION BILLS WAYS. (oh and also in animal crossing you shake trees with apples on them... .-.)

Obviously not. But my point is that as long as you have a Wii you can play N64 Virtual Console games on Wii U.

Sonic Lost world is also on 3DS The Wii U version has exclusive levels and power ups

Yoshi's been in since the original SSB, don't think they'll leave it out. As for Luigi, don't get your hopes too high.

One thing that I love that I wished Sony and Microsoft did, are these Direct Episodes to their Consumer Base! Great Job Nintendo!

Probably in the last Nintendo Direct of the year so November/December we will get something about it. The creator of the game leaked 1 small detail. That the game would take place in modern times...

The issue with StreetPass is that not enough people have a 3DS for it to work well and the fact that I don't feel like carrying my 3DS everywhere I go.

Well, I did say "more" which should indicate there are MORE than 4 titles to expect from the Wii U. Eventhough the console has been out for about eight months, It still has more variety in it's first-party titles than PS3 and 360 combined. While Nintendo continues to amaze people with their new ideas and sequels for franchizes that have been out for years, the other two consoles continue to offer the same conventional dried up FPS and Cinematic movies and will be the same for their successors.

I wet my pants when I heard Earthbound. My life is now fulfilled.

mario:my games are awesome right bro luigi:everyone forgets about me mario:nintendo did make this year just for you luigi:oh yeah the year of luigi!

A TRUE gamer wouldn't insult other gamers for what they like.

Yes, my favorite game of all time for $9.99. If only they sold the guide in stores. Thank you Nintendo.

None of Regi's ready body or Iwata's staring contest with bananas.

I'm missing out not having a Nintendo3DS... New mario, zelda and animal crossing games? Those games are so incredible fun to play. Nintendo has always been all about fun not only advanced graphics that limit the gameplay.

Bill is one of the best human beings on the planet.

Nintendo fans are never scared because they know that the Wii U will deliver more games... most of them are first party and independent developers. Pikmin 3 is one prime example that the U is now selling.

Looks like a pretty good year for Nintendo. Wish Virtual Console games had the correct aspect proportions though...

I'm sure it will. The 3DS evolved into an awesome little device, and I'm sure the Wii U will too.

Don't worry, everything shown here also will come to Europe, if that is what you mean though. Most games do even come earlier here.

Mario and Luigi Dream Team Bros. is already out here in Europe. Didn't know you still have to wait for it in the US...

Yeah, since there's a Wii Channel thing on the Wii U, you can transfer games and such over.The problem is, you cannot use the Wii U gamepad as a controller.

considering how little was shown in january, i bet it still in early development. be patient.

Very true! I do not mind the gorgeous atmosphere at all, but it seems to me that when Nintendo has tried darker and edgier (Twilight Princess) people have preferred it to the normal bright and whimsical (Skyward Sword).

Ive been a huge PIKMIN FAN FOR SUCH a long time. Knowing i wont be able to afford PIKMIN 3 crushes me:/

I laughed like an idiot for 5 minutes straight for some reason at that intro. I love Bill so much.

*staring at the treehouse guy's shirt* Obey the Captain.

With a title like "Nintendo Direct Mini" I figured it would be a 3 minute video. Pleasantly surprised.

Words ALMOST can't describe Wonderful 101?

Does anyone else miss Bill Trinen in Nintendo Directs? :(

It is an action roleplaying game, so close enough.

I just thought it was funny that they started a list of games "only on Wii U" with a port of a Gamecube game. :P

Actually, a TRUE gamer embraces all consoles for what they are and doesn't pick sides. Also, I'd love to see you try to make the "Wii U has no games" argument a few years down the road--nearly every console has started out weak and picked up steam after that.

earthbound started the whole chuggaaconroy legacy

Looks like Bill learned to "Shake them trees. COME ON! But watch out for the BEES! Bill"

The reason Nintendo fans don't attack on other videos is because they're too busy enjoying the games... while socializing their friends on its social network.

What does that have to do with the fact that some states still make you pay tax for online purchases? It doesn't matter what you use to buy it. If it's online in these states, you're local tax rate will apply, That's why eShop asks for your country, state, city and zip code the first time you set up your debit/credit card.

Thank you Nintendo for making me love you even more.

The last Nintendo Direct of 2013 in December I think will be like this.

Oh Nintendo you never fail me

That Nintendo Direct MINI was great. It's about time that Nintendo have released the Super NES RPG classic EarthBound at the eShop for Wii U in Europe and North America. The only audience I've ever seen are everyone... no age required.

Streetpass relay. Fascinating

Sales numbers don't or shouldn't represent how good a game or console is. If a good game or console sells a little bit that doesn't extract from how good it is. The Wii U has sold poorly during launch but I'm still having fun playing it .

I love that they flow of titles is increasing for the system. It's a shame that a lot of 3rd party have dropping Nintendo, but if all I'm playing on my Wii U are 1st party titles, then so be it. I have my 3DS, PS3, and multiple older consoles to get games for and enjoy.

I wish they would too. Also do the same for Mother 1 since it was already translated ages ago(wouldn't mind some updated graphic for Mother 1 too).

I'm not excited for any Mario or Zelda game but I'll be happily purchasing Sonic & All-Stars Transformed, Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2, Sonic Lost World, The Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends and Batman: Arkham Origins once I get a Wii U.

Yes. I've heard bad things all the time about newer mario and luigi rpgs lately, but this reminds me so much of superstar saga, just from looking at it anyway.

Pikmin 3 really needs online multiplayer

Trust me, you're not alone

Yeah. Also, if 3d world has online co-op, players won't have to be on the same screen all the time like in local play.

They have a Nintendo Direct Mini for the UK as well.

21:41 Nice Vanna White hand gesture, Bill.

I'm wondering to myself right now. WHY HAVE I MISSED THIS?

Well to be fair, the physical copy of the original maybe included with the box would still be a hefty sum of cashhh.

Clouberry Kingdom and Ducktails look pretty good!

Thank you Nintendo for making earthbound available! I bought it and it was worth every cent.

I laughed harder than I should when he made the scratch and sniff joke out of complete giddiness

Am I the only one that got really excited seeing 3D Earthbound renders?...Just saying...

I wish this was more Europe friendly, its all about America, Europe already has M&L:DT, but they don't even mention it.

No new game announcements, although the release date was pretty huge...

The sad thing is this is that this is the part where everybody is like "I'm not paying 10 dollars for Earthbound" knowing they were the ones begging for it in the first place.

now thats a MUCH better commercial for earthbound.

Nintendo direct 2013 rankings June > January > April > May > February > July > March.

I mean that they always say "you can play at Best Buy in US and Canada"

Who else is replaying super star saga?

all GOW games are the same *flies away*

Yes it is! I'm from Europe and I have it on my 3DS!
