Get hype! 3DS exclusive Direct coming on the 1st @ 10 AM EST

EDIT: http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/09-01-2016/

[Nebbles]

so this is when we'll get mother 3 confirmed right

[SlowPokemon]

For a 3DS only direct? Doubtful, since you can't even run GBA on that system

[Nebbles]

i know let me dream ok

[E. Gadd Industries]

I was hoping for some NX announcement, but oh well. It'll come soon enough! I hope...

[mikey]

I want to be able to legally play mother 3

[SlowPokemon]

Me too

I just don't think it'll happen this direct

[Yug_Guy]

Hey, quick summary of the (American) Direct for those that missed it:

Spoiler

• New Pokemon announced for Sun & Moon: Alolan Rattata. I believe it's a dark type?
• Munchlax will be distributed with early copies of the game, along with a Z-gem to be equipped with Snorlax
• Super Mario Maker is coming to 3DS; will focus a bit more on local connectivity as opposed to global
• Mario Party: Star Rush has lots of new modes & ways to play
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf is getting an amiibo update
• Streetpass is getting an update to make everything run faster, as well as 5 new streepass games
• Tank Troopers is a new game; it's about tanks
• Picross 3D 2 announced; includes demo (yeeeeeeeeeeeees)
• New classic zelda amiibos coming (OG, Oot & WW), will be compatible with BotW
• Skyward Sword is available on the eShop
• Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks DLC coming to Hyrule Warriors Legends
• New Dragon Quest VII & VIII footage; both releasing this year
• Pokemon Yokai Watch 2; comes in two versions: Bony & Fleshy
• Sonic Boom: Ice & Fire
• Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice
• Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse
• Yoshi's Wooly World is coming to 3DS; will launch with yarn Poochy amiibo
• Ever Oasis
• Mario Sports: Superstars; comes with soccer, baseball, tennis, golf & horseback riding?
• And, new Pikmin coming in 2017; it's a sidescroller this time, and is apparently more action-based this time around

I probably missed some stuff, but eh.

Meh.

Decent Direct, but ffs Nintendo your new console comes out within like 6 months and we still know literally nothing. Could've at least said, "Hey we'll be showing off the NX on (insert date here)."

[mikey]

3DS Super Mario Maker seems like a good idea

[Maelstrom]

3DS Super Mario Maker seems like a good idea

Except courses can only be shared with streetpass or local wifi.

[SlowPokemon]

Pikmin for 3DS is a neat concept. I also enjoyed the little Zelda bit and the Super Mario Maker footage (though I won't be buying that game as I don't even use the Wii U one much at all).

Still, nothing is more exciting than the new Ace Attorney.

What comes in the North American direct after Hyrule Warriors Legends? I like the music, but I've only heard a second of it.

Speaking of Hyrule Warriors Legends, I will never not be salty on how Nintendo always forgets that Staven exists.

Thoughts: WHOA :OOOOO
-MORE RATTATA SPAM NOOOOOO
-Why Munchlax?
-SMM for 3DS should be fun!
-They'd better not make Star Rush like the more recent Party titles...
-Picross 3D 2??? WHEEEEEE!!!!
-Woolly World for 3DS? Huh, that's an interesting concept.
-D: NO DEDICATED MARIO GOLF GAME? Oh, wait, nvm, this is for 3DS only
-3DS Pikmin? I'd be down for that!
