WHERE ARE THE BIG NEWS
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/12/nintendo_has_quite_a_bit_of_maintenance_planned_for_today
>expecting news from a dead company
did you mean the shitty one with the gray logo?
>>319285985
Indie shit it is
Remember the last time people were hyping maintenances up? It's almost as if that happened a month ago.
They already revealed it.

>>319285985
Could this be tied to the whole account thing I heard a while ago?
>>319285894
>>319285985
8.5 hours remaining
>>319286098
I thought that shitty ''LE RED NINTENDO LOGO'' thing was just a meme, but it appears people seem to take it seriously for some reason.
>>319285985
I've been let down before so all I'm expecting is Animal Crossing U reveal in a surprise and sudden LIVE Direct that takes place four and a half hours from this post.
>>319286276
Thats still really far off.
>>319286098
>current year
>nintendo is dead
>every year every day
>since 1992
>>319287556
I thought that had already been applied in japan?
>>319287502
damn he is old af now
>>319287685
subscription recently openned there yah
Ashley for Smash
>>319285985
Oh shit
what the fuck is this
Here are the BIG NEWS!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6Eaq-kT7R8
crashing this company, with no survivor
>>319287869
ohshit nigga
>>319287987
Yeah dolls are BIG NEWS
instead of actually putting well designed gameplay in their games.
I love NEO nintendo because they produce my favorite dolls!
>>319287869
let's hope that all the maintenances tonight are related to the amiibo
>>319288058
Get a load of this mad faggot
>>319288058
salty anon is salty
>>319287869
>don't worry, nintendo-fans, we got the BIGGEST SURPRISE COMING UP JUST FOR YOU
>it's amiibo-shit which isn't even compatible with the original 3DS
fuck you yacht club games
Spoilers: It's Minecraft
>>319288339
whats sad is that would probably actually move more wiius for christmas than literally any other announcement
>>319285894
There is literally nothing they could announce that would bring them back to relevancy
They treat their biggest IPs like shit, see new Zelda (Skyrim: Wii Edition), and their new ones are ok at best
The only thing they have is 3rd party exclusives, but those are running short.
>>319288470
Reminder that even in Japan Minecraft is the biggest seller on the Vita.
IT ACTUALLY IS MINECRAFT
FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>319289374
>minecraft
Even if you still play it, why the fuck would you play it on a console. That might legitimately be more retarded than playing a TES game on a console.
>>319289374
>>319289462
Miiverse kids are going to eat this shit up. Sharing Miiverse pics of your creations? Possible official contests?
TIME TO GET MY AUTISM BACK ON AND DOWNLOAD IT ON THE 17TH DECEMBER!!!!i'm joking because i was at least hoping for some BIG news today not this shit
>>319289374
>it's legit
>>319289374
I expected nothing and I'm still let down
>>319289374
Post-SNES Nintendo, everyone.
>>319289462
I came here to post this.
>>319289374
Everyone go home. Its fucking nothing.
Least we still have the smash direct.
Tho honestly we need at least a thumbs up this was the huge announcement.
I hope Damon Baker shits himself to death.
We did it, bros!
Here's those third party games you asked for
whoring out to minecraft glad i gave up Nintendo years ago what shitty company.
>>319289717
What
What are you even talking about
So having a game on your console is 'whoring out'?
Okay
>>319289659
Oh god it's fucking real.
This better not be the news that cunt was talking about.
when this sells badly will Nintendo drop out off the console market?
>>319289849
If it was anything actually major, they would have given us more notice than just some dipshit on a podcast.
>>319289817
Stop responding to blatant shitposters you retard
>>319289817
Learn how to use punctuation you worthless piece of shit.
So I don't know what is going on can somebody explain ? Is today the day where the big news about Smash is gonna drop ?
Steve amiibo when?
>>319290017
Yes
this marks then end of Nintendo after their stock raises from them this, they will never make an original game again.
>>319290064
when and where if I might ask ?
>>319288672
It's the biggest seller on the PS4 in Japan as well
This is going to make Nintendo millions. I mean, it's not as if you haven't already been able to play it on other consoles, or iPad, or-
Oh wait.
>>319289374
>it's fucking legit
>>319289374
this marks then end of nintendo mobile tier games will dominate the ds and the wiiu from now on
>>319289659
>>319289374
We already new about Minecraft on the Wii U since a month ago, why is it big news, even to the people in this thread?
Is the big announcement actually Minecraft? I feel like NoA would have it
>>319285894
It's about F-Zero and It's here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h5bEEv0iSc

>Skyrim Mash-up Pack
>On the fucking Wii U
>there are retards here that were expecting anything but Minecraft
If you were expecting ANYTHING Smash in particular you're beyond retarded.
Or hell anything in general. Any disappointment you fags have now is your own fault.
Oh boy now we'll all see it on our Wii U home screens along with constant shitty artwork until the end of time even though we all played the game years ago and are bored of it.
can i play as a mii in it?
>>319290657
There's a direct today you retard.
>>319290559
They could at least put some effort into it.
How about Nintendo related DLC? Goddamn
WHY CAN'T MINECRAFT JUST DIE DOWN ALREADY
>>319290714
miis are too advanced graphically
I just want a god damn date for the Smash broadcast. A fucking date to look forward to, that's all I fucking need. Even when we know there's news to look forward to, we're still strung along and left in the god damn dark. Why?

Thanks anon, I will improve my answers from now on
>>319290772
Proofs? The Nintendo's site says fucking nothing though.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
ENJOY YOUR MINEYCRAFTA
The only way a Minecraft reveal would raise my hopes is if it was bundled with a system for Christmas.
Maybe that will drive a few sales before the system is killed off for the Dreamca-err I mean NX.
Yo is this actually the big news? should I be staying up for more updates or is this it...?
>>319290820
Xbone version needs to be superior.
>>319290772
They don't do surprise Directs retard. They always announce them at very least a say ahead of time. They want people to actually watch them you know.
>>319289374
at least one /v/irgin predicted this. there was a thread that was basically "hey what if the big news is minecraft" and the general response was "that'd be fucking retarded"
he's right but it's still fucking retarded
>>319290852
I wonder what these people are thinking know...
>>319290657
I kind of want you to be wrong just so you feel stupid to match the way you type.
However it's most likely indie shit. Like Shovel Knight amiibo, the new rewards system and that new racing game.
>>319291140
You're a bit slow, aren't you?

>>319290978
>Brings Minecraft to Wii U
>Minecraft owned by Microsoft
Banjo in Smash?
This isn't the big news...
The big news is that they're bringing amiibo into the game in the form of a secondary ally that walks around with you, protects you from zombies, etc.
There will be a video at 4PM GMT or before then on the Nintendo UK YouTube channel. Or just check their twitter.
Steve amiibo inbound.
>>319291402
This would require Minecraft to have something even vaguely resembling an AI system.
>>319291136
>>319290852
Do you understand that those 2 posters had every right to be concerned about Nintendo?
Nintendo lost its dominating market share when the Genesis/Mega Drive came along and pretty much became irrelevant when the Playstation and Playstation 2 were first place systems.
So, it was the end of Nintendo as THEY knew it - as a market leader.
What no one predicted was the Wii. Before the Wii, the casual was perceived as the guy buying Fifa and NFL games. Who would have thought we could get old broads and hipster slags playing games?
>>319291402
3:30 pm gmt I believe
>>319291402
The best selling game of all time (if we don't count pack-in games) coming to their platform is probably pretty damn big news in their eyes.
>>319291571
If it's getting an Amiibo - that's going to sell systems.
This is something to excite shareholders - not fans.
>>319291520
>>319291402
That would only require reskinning the dog/wolf. They already act exactly like described. I don't see how someone would consider that big news though.
But yes, I fully expect Nintendo to splurt their jizz all over this game like they do with every other game on their platform. It seems like they think their customers are babies that won't buy games that don't have that familiar Nintendo branding in the form of Mario or Zelda skins, costumes etc.
Just like they forced the Nintendo character costumes to the western versions of Fatal Frame 5, or had Konami turn kerotans to yoshis in MGS 3 for the 3ds.
>>319287869
looks cool but I doubt this is it
>>319291570
Yeah I think you're right.
>>319291571
>>319291653
It's HUGE news for Nintendo, and great news for 'miiverse kids', but as for us here at /v/ it's not surprising because a) it was leaked by ESRB and b) we've probably all played minecraft on another console or PC...3 years ago.
But Steve amiibo is coming. Of course Microsoft want a piece of that amiibo action. Why the fuck wouldn't they?
And like >>319291839 said, it functions very similarly to the wolf in the game.SOURCE: THE FAIRY IN MY ASS WHO MAKES SHIT UP TO POST ONLINE
I just wanted a date for the Smash broadcast....
>>319292097
As long Minecraft doesn't rear it's ugly head in Smash my autism is in check.
So this confirms Steve in Smash Brothers
Ideas for his Final Smash?
Creeper summon would be so top you don't even know.
>>319289374
Well, at least it was announced early so I didn't spend all day anticipating it.
LMAO!!!!!
MINECRAFT IS YOUR BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
A GAME THAT HAS BEEN OUT ON OTHER PLATFORMS FOR 10 YEARS
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
>>319292097
Hell, people who like Minecraft and don't own a Wii U will buy one anyway. Win win situation.
>>319292097
>But Steve amiibo is coming. Of course Microsoft want a piece of that amiibo action. Why the fuck wouldn't they?
"that amiibo action" is a drop in the ocean compared to all the Minecraft toys they are already selling though.
>>319290852
>89
Holy fucking shit
>>319292258
>tfw 2012 was ten years ago
>>319292308
You attract the amiibo crowd and the toy buying crowd. Seems like a pretty good.
welp that was a waste
>>319285985
>MK8
aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Isn't the news only supposed to be anounced at 11:30 (4chan time, so, 2 and an half hour) in the Nintendo World Report podacst there:
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/sitenews/41550/6th-annual-nwr-live-podcast-telethon-for-childs-play
?
>>319292957
maybe the amiibo video reveal will be at 11:30 /v/ time
>>319292957
>http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/41607/minecraft-coming-to-wii-u-december-17-2999
It is the news.
>The news was first mentioned by Nintendo's Damon Baker as a part of this past weekend's annual NWR Live Podcast Telethon for Child's Play.
It then link to >>319292957
NintendoWorld Report wanted to build the hype by segmenting their already done podcast in several part, but Nintendo of japan just didn't give a fuck about that.
Blame NWR for over-hyping it and then wanting to tread on it.
>>319289659
>17/12
>Nintendo Direct on 16/12
>Steve announced as Smash bros character
>Twilight princess got a standing ovation of cheers and applause
>Nintendo delayed Zelda U to ensure it will be some serious shit
Nintendo for the love of god just give us something about zelda
>>319293742
>Blame NWR for over-hyping it and then wanting to tread on it.
I'm pretty sure nobody overhyped anything as the entire thread yesterday was proving to one guy how announcements outside of a direct by unknown NoA and NoE memebers are always shitty.
>>319294127
>unknown NoA and NoE memebers
When was the direct supposed to happen? And what was this about news on Monday? I've been pretty out of the loop, what's going on?
>>319294206
The Smash direct should happen anytime this month. And the "big" news was probably Minecraft on Wii U.
>>319294180
Is it Reggie or Bill? No?
Then I don't care,
>>319294206
see>>319292957
>>319293267
>>319293742
Nintendo World Report coming podcast was going to have the nintendo guy in charge of indie stuff anounce the comùing of Minecraft.
>>319294378
>>319294484
>2016 - 1 month
>hyping up Minecraft
You just couldn't make this shit up phem
>>319294694
The guy who said it would be big was the guy in charge of indie games on the eshop. When it comes to indie games, Minecraft is arguably one of the biggest.
Having said that, there's a reason why no-one else made a big deal of it.
>>319295197
I guess that makes sense.
I-I still like minecraft, it's a fun game and now I'll be able to play it in the living room
>>319294694
>hyping up Memecraft
>Memecraft amiibo
>Memecraft character in Sm4sh
I am so excited for this direct I can't even put it into words. the butthurt on /v/ will be glorious.
>Nintendo has billions and could easily dominate a home console generation
>Can't even compete with Sony who people say is going bankrupt
I don't understand
>>319285894
OH SHIT XENOBLADE WAS A FAILURE AND NOW THE WII U IS GETTING A 6 YEAR OLD GAME WHICH EVERY SINGLE FAGGOT ALREADY PLAYED ONCE
IWATA DIED FOR NOTHING
>>319296331
Nintendo has nothing on Sony. Sony hasn't even burnt through their money from the walkman days. They could burn money at their current pace for decades and still be fine. Not being a famboy but them and Microsoft are next to impossible to kill without a complete market collapse.
