There's going to be another direct tomorrow at 2PM Pacific.

Nothing in particular, just "Showcasing Wii U and 3DS titles" so I imagine it'll show off holiday season games and early 2015 games.
I also imagine we'll see some more Amiibo functionality and more on the MK8 DLC, as Nintendo apparently accidentally leaked (and later pulled) a page that showed what the Amiibos do on MK8 (Character Costumes for Miis) and showed it worked with a bunch of Non-Mario characters as well (Link, Kirby, Samus, Cpt. Falcon and Fox to be exact.)

Here's what remains of that page.

So if you play as a Mii and you want them to have lots of additional costumes there you have it. The update that pushes that out will be on the 13th.

To be fair, the Direct that announced Hyrule Warriors was also geared towards a specific timeframe, so we could get another surprise announcement like that.

Also probably the Duck Hunt "reveal" trailer. And more on Xenoblade Chronicles X, since Soraya Saga retweeted the announcement and she only ever does that when work by her husband (the guy who made Xenoblade) is featured in the Direct.

OH, THAT'S A ROCKING MUTE CITY REMIX.

And they're finally showing Link for MK8.

SNES RAINBOW ROADDDD

I really want this update now. Gotta wait a week though.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (AKA Claymation Kirby) Multiplayer confirmed. Amiibo functionality as well, Feb 2015.

Hyrule Warriors Amiibo functionality (With the Link Amiibo) Is the Spinner from TP. All the others work to give you random materials.

Splatoon's in the second quarter of 2015. Has Campaign mode.

What's interesting is that the JP Hyrule Warriors site seems to imply that scanning the Zelda amiibo will also unlock a new weapon...

Police Girl · **Reply #329 on:** November 20, 2014, 08:27:48 PM

Okay, not sure if it was mentioned in the Zelda thread already but Zelda's amiibo will give you a random three-star or better weapon once a day in Hyrule Warriors, (all the others will give three-star or less weapons).

Kirby and the Rainbow curse will use amiibo's as well.

Hypershell · **Reply #330 on:** December 06, 2014, 06:57:46 AM

Star Fox is expected out sometime before Zelda.

Oh, and Mario Maker has SMB3 and SMW modes. The earlier clearly shows the Raccoon tail. Personally, I'm hoping that Yoshi and Hammer Suit make the cut (I don't expect they're stupid enough to do a SMW style without Yoshi, but you never know with him these days).

Protoman Blues · **Reply #331 on:** December 06, 2014, 07:21:45 AM

Mario Maker looks like a LOT of fun!

Wait, where is all this Nintendo news coming from suddenly? I didn't see any new Direct.

It was yesterday.

Direct tomorrow. 9AM Eastern time. As opposed to pacific.

Have fun getting up at 6AM CaliforniFolks.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #335 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:06:51 AM

New 3DS is due out Feb 13th.

Phi · **Reply #336 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:30:59 AM

Wait.... huh?

That soon?

Sakura Leic · **Reply #337 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:33:34 AM

Yup, it also seems we'll be getting Red and Black XLs. However no word on the regular New 3DS, but I'm sure we'll see them tomorrow.

Hypershell · **Reply #338 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:36:27 AM

Basically three separate leaks that all coincide with that date, so it's PROBABLY legit.

IMHO they need to get that out sooner rather than later if they want people to take 3DS Amiibo use seriously (not that they need a reason to justify Amiibo these days, but hey, it couldn't hurt). My original 3DS's thumb pad has seen better days, as well, so I'm seriously considering a replacement. I just wish the faceplates weren't exclusive to the regular-sized one. >.>

I'll have fun knowing I'm at work and will have to catch up at, like 5PM or so. I'd have rather gotten up at 6. Meh, oh well.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #339 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:43:34 AM

I'll still wait until around Christmas this year until I get one, I think the regular one would be the perfect size for me. Even the regular one is a bit too small without armor of some kind, though I got used to it after the hinge of that armor broke.

Phi · **Reply #340 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:48:45 AM

I have an XL, but the pixels are just way too stretched out for me. It's especially noticeable for 3D games, naturally. It feels like I'm using my old Nokia phone.

The regular model's smaller screen is much crisper in comparison, and I prefer my games to be displayed in the best way possible. So, I'll get the regular New 3DS.

Lou told me that his friend from GameStop confirmed the leaked Feb 13th poster is legit, as he was looking at it in his store.

This was my problem with the DSi XL, that thing looked horrendous. The 3DS XL seems a bit better, although to be fair most of the demos I saw were Yoshi's New Island, which isn't much of a looker to begin with.

I dunno, maybe a regular New 3DS would be better. It's a tough call.

Police Girl · **Reply #343 on:** January 14, 2015, 02:00:37 AM

Yeah every time I looked at an XL model nothing really looked good, the normal model has its downfalls but at least it looks sharp.

I'm getting a regular model. Its already bigger than the normal 3DS and I don't think I need the XL size.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #344 on:** January 14, 2015, 02:08:11 AM

I kiiiiiiiiiinda want the swappable plates!

Reaperoid · **Reply #345 on:** January 14, 2015, 08:28:25 AM

I have [?] Block plates on mine

Protoman Blues · **Reply #346 on:** January 14, 2015, 03:38:36 PM

Ummm, I'm only seeing release info for the New 3DS XL. Are we not getting the regular version?

Protoman Blues · **Reply #347 on:** January 14, 2015, 03:48:14 PM

I GUESS I DIDN'T REALLY NEED THAT MONEY ANYWAY

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #348 on:** January 14, 2015, 03:51:56 PM

That is awesome, curse my lack of funds!

Reaperoid · **Reply #349 on:** January 14, 2015, 04:01:13 PM

Yea, that happened...

Game sold separately though $:\$

Oh, yea, no need for XL. The regular New3DS's screen is much larger and clearer than the older regular. It's been really good so far.

I wouldn't have minded if they brought both black and white regulars though, like Japan has... I had to settle for just white.
