Best Direct ever!
Yarn Yoshi amiibo!
Splatoon amiibo!
Mario Maker in September!
Mewtwo and Lucas coming soon!

My favourite was that Nintendo moved the Mario Kart 8 DLC to April 23, and added more amiibo costumes.
And 200CC!
Ridiculous speeds!

 

[Toblet]

I KNEW THEYD PUT MORE AMIIBO COSTUMES FOR MK8 PACK 2, although I didn't see a 200 CC's coming....I'm so scared of that mode also...I DID NOT SEE LUCAS COMING AT ALL!! IM SO FREAKING EXCITED AND HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOWWW! I LOVED WATCHING THAT NINTENDO DIRECT!
I like the edition of a Yarn Yoshi amiibo, but I'm still not sure if I'll be getting the game in general. :/ The yarn amiibo is a nice addition!
I'm super hyped of Mario Maker---I'll definitely be getting it! Too bad it doesn't have an earlier release date.
MK8 was one of the more "hyped" topics in my opinion---200CC looks awesome! More shortcuts FTW! I already have a Bowser Amiibo, so that'll be my 3rd MK8 costume! I like the new Animal Crossing track (even though I'm not a big fan of Animal Crossing), and the season change! I hope we hear about more tracks soon!
Too bad we didn't hear anything about MP10 DLC (probably at E3 this year), but I'll be super hyped about that! We need more Bowser Party boards!

Cool. I probably won't be able to watch it, though.

The Direct will be 33 minutes long.


I might watch it, since I'm home sick, but I prolly shouldn't spend time on my iPad.

You're going to confuse people. XD

A bit disappointing this Direct...
Mostly stuff I already knew.

 

[RafalRib]

Yeah but i stil think that having a demo will help with the persons that haven't decided yet if they're going to buy the game

 

[anthonysea]

The direct was alright. Nothing special, though

HYPE FOR ANYTHING

If it's a Wii U game imma cry :ssb4pacman:

 

[CaptainShyguy]

I'm guessing stuff on:
- Pokken Tournament¸
- Pokemon Go
- Detective Pikachu for other regions?
- Backgrounds and stuff for 3DS?
- And obviously and hopefully, this is more like a wish, the third installment in the 6th generation (Z or whatever).

So 1 minute for each thing? :ssb4pacman:

 

[CaptainShyguy]

I could see them focus on PT and PG. Detective Pikachu is already out in Japan, so I doubt they'll even mention it, but if they do, an english version would be awesome. Showing backgrounds and stuff like doesn't need much time, I believe.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Well, Detective Pikachu is said to be a game broken in episodes. Some say that for the English version, they might wait until all the episodes are there and release the full game in retail.
