Nintendo Direct 12.18.13

[@belatedmedia]

Rosalina looks like she's gonna be pretty boss if you master her Pikmin/Olimar/Ice Climbers-like moveset. I'm pretty stoked on her.

[@MFAniki6390]

So... did anyone else think Kirby was in Mario Kart 8 for a second?

[@WBX64]

I did.

[@supergirlkels]

To be honest I did :P i would hacve been SO excited

[@MFAniki6390]

I honestly thought that this was a trailer where they introduce cross-over characters for Mario Kart 8. Still think it would be cool to have Captain Falcon, Kirby, or Sonic in a future Mario Kart game.

[@TylerMiller]

Not sure why some people are getting mad about Hyrule Warriors. Iwata just said that it's not the next installment in the series, but a spinoff. It's obvious they are working on a the next installment, they just haven't it showed it off yet. I'm happy with what I can get. The game looks interesting, hoping it's some sort of co-op play or something.

[@ninboy01]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the environmental lighting in Mario Kart 8 look fantastic? I'm so happy to finally be getting HD Nintendo tittles.

[@AJPocan]

That new Zelda game for Wii U looked incredible... Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. trailers were awesome too. I love Nintendo, haters gonna hate. They are just missing out ^_^

[@MarioTiani]

Aged very very well

[@jimmywhetzel]

33:10 hey dats me

[@RaccoonFoot]

The most misdirecting character reveal yet... but that's why I loved it.

[@RaccoonFoot]

***** Then we got an actual Mario Kart 8 trailer with Rosalina in it.

[@JasaeBushae]

The star warrior and the star sprite dancing around on rainbow road...Awesome

[@EdrallSTAR]

A total CGI scene just for a character ... Nintendo, I will give you my own heart. Bless Nintendo forever!

[@TheBlueToad]

Reggie is the only guy who can beat himself in an arm wrestle

[@razorcrow9967]

its beacause He´s body is ready

[@Love2DrawManga]

Kirby and a Luma on the screen at the same time..........cuteness overload!! I can't wait to play as Rosalina in Smash bros. XD

[@JAMOVATN]

then put Pikachu in ther :3

[@Love2DrawManga]

YES! I love to play as Pikachu!

[@ericvilas]

19:42 notice the stress on the word "link", and notice the symbol on Sonic's track. Coincidence?

[@TheRetroGamerHD]

NINTENDO YOU TROLL, First you tease Kirby Air Ride sequel, THEN you tease Kirby in Mario Kart 8, BUT ALL IT BUILT UP TO WAS FRICKING ROSALINA in SSB4 GG guys you WINtendo

[@Filipe1020]

NINTENDO PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN, KIRBY AIR RIDE WAS MY CHILDHOOOOOD

[@TheRetroGamerHD]

New movement, #kirbyairride4wiiu

[@smashbrolink]

I haven't smiled this much at a Nintendo Direct in a long while. Spring of 2014, heck, 2014 itself, is going to be quite a fantastic year to be a Nintendo gamer.^_^

[@admiralkeelhauled42]

Hyrule warriors, so much FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@mar7674]

Reggie's Mii's body wasn't ready.

[@Samination]

CHIBI-ROBO! YESSS!

[@Nin10Guy]

This was an amazing Nintendo Direct! I was smiling the whole way through getting even more excited about finally owning a Wii U this Christmas and discovering the awesome surprises that Nintendo's next gen system had in store. Good show! Also I'm glad to see Chibi Robo finally making a come back.

[@quajeek99]

Almost everyone thought *Kirby* was going to be in Mario Kart 8. Well played, Nintendo :P

[@MizzahTee]

Yep... they got me too :)

[@YoshisVGM]

Hey, Nintendo, what are the chances that we'll see a third Luigi's Mansion on Wii U? Come on, Luigi's Mansion with HD graphics and interactive gameplay using the GamePad? It sounds perfect!

[@MegaMrcoolguy13]

Wouldn't you rather have Super Mario Sunshine 2?

[@YoshisVGM]

HiIm Bob Honestly, no. I'd rather have the next 3D Mario game be something completely new.

[@MegaMrcoolguy13]

So you want a brand new Mario game but the same Luigi game?

[@YoshisVGM]

HiIm Bob **personal preference** There's only been two Luigi's Mansion games, and they can greatly expand on that with Wii U. And remember, this is my personal opinion, but I believe that it's time to see a new Mario game. Every Mario platforming game since 2007 has been a sequel (with the exception of 3D Land).

[@MegaMrcoolguy13]

Sir you have a good point but their has only been one Super Mario Sunshine game, and I would rather have a new Super Mario Sunshine game than a new Luigi's Mansion game, and that my good sir is my own personal preference.

[@bryceattewell9324]

I have a feeling that all of these Rosalina cameos are all leading up to something (Super Mario Galaxy 3)

[@TariqKhan-gl2zh]

I guess Reggie's body WAS ready at the end.

[@TheDlcGuy]

Hyrule Warriors looks stunning!

[@branhoff]

It's strange to see so much criticism in the comment section. I felt all of these announcements were very exciting and fun. Good job Nintendo!

[@TerminatorJuice]

Nintendo is the only one of the "big 3" who cares about giving their customers actual value for their money!!! Free DLC, Free 24 hour Trials, and games that don't require microtransactions! These is the kind of things that keep me supporting Nintendo!!!

[@TheAndredal]

Bravely Default has microtransactions, just sayin'

[@bendarker25]

Do some research before making comments. What about Sony? You get Free DLC(LBP,Soul sacrifice), Free game trials, Free to play games and the fantastic value for money PS Plus. Every month you get games for your PS3, PS Vita & PS4 to download. These is the kind of things that keep me supporting Sony.

[@TerminatorJuice]

TheAndredal Bravely Default is a Square-Enix game. . . just saying.

[@TerminatorJuice]

Ben Darker You are correct as long as you pay for PlayStation Plus, which means that those games are not "free"!

[@TheAndredal]

Terminator Juice the Nintendo profile/account isn't "free" either btw

[@justEvan]

It's awesome that Rosalina's in the next smash, but goddamit they got my hopes up for an air ride sequel

[@EpicLuigi24]

This was like a mini E3...

[@RedTV8888]

Rest in Peace Iwata. I'll miss you.

[@flare-theblazingchristiang6292]

I miss him. R.I.P Iwata

[@Aquasyris]

Yeah...if you could not immediately kill me at the first trailer, that'd be great. I need to survive the whole direct.

[@PrincessEevee99]

One must always have emergency support on standby when Nintendo does a Direct.

[@jhdkoopman2]

Iwata will be missed.

[@legotheon]

Agreed. Just came back to watch some older Directs with Iwata actually. 😕

[@theMrRook]

***** That is what I was doing.

[@legotheon]

Spencer Calderon Well, yeah. Most of them contains some great and memorable scenes and such with Iwata. Rest in peace really.

[@AwesomeJausem]

Zelda Zone? Sounds like a dream come true!

[@Piyamakarro]

Nintendo you have truly outdone yourself. EVERYTHING LOOKS SO AMAZING!

[@erickrammon]

Nintendo is one of those few companies that has a heart, you can sense that warmth every time you see a video/product or play one of their games specially the old ones. Happy Holidays Nintendo!!!

[@chairslayer]

Is it just me or does Iwata's English sound like it's gotten better as he's done these Direct videos?

[@GigaGamby]

27:37 I thought there was a new Kirby Air Ride coming out... I was so happy D:

[@Pksunshines]

So do I! I'm very sad there's no new Kirby Air Ride eventually...

[@GigaGamby]

Yeah there needs to be one soon, i still love and play that game for my gamecube. Kirby Air Ride U, MAKE IT HAPPEN NINTENDO!

[@LouBlu08]

“The name, Hyrule Warriors is not final” See you on August 14, 2014.

[@Pwilliams4000]

To this day it’s still call Hyrule Warriors 😭

[@LazeBlaz3]

Mario Sunshine Airport!!

[@MultiPlatGamerGuy]

How about a new IP, guys? I want to see something new from your beautiful minds!

[@MagnitudeReviews]

earlier this year nintendo said that myamoto was working on a new ip

[@MultiPlatGamerGuy]

BoyScouts1910 True, but overall new IP's are not a big focus with Nintendo right now. Heck, that new Miyamoto game might be an eShop game or something like Wii Music.

[@AxeIRad]

You called it, Splatoon

[@neji1641]

I'm most excited for Chibi-Robo. I can't wait!!!

[@Randomness2018]

The only December Nintendo Direct for now

[@mrfallout261]

27:42 A SEQUEL TO KIRBY'S AIR RIDE?! 27:52 ON RAINBOW ROAD?! 28:57 Nope, just more Smash Bros. I'm sure if I'm disappointed or not.

[@adamjohnson4166]

*Kirby shows up on Mario Kart course. Rosalina is a playable character in the new Smash Bros.! Me: WTF!?!

[@TonyKanameKuran]

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors only for Wii U... I'm sold-- DIRECTLY!

[@DJCalliean]

Nintendo direct's are my favorite time of the month.

[@ShallBePurified]

The first trailer already had me hooked into this Direct. :D

[@BedoopBrother]

I'm still kinda mad Luigi didn't save Daisy in New Super Luigi U. Daisy needs to be in another Main Mario game. Super Luigi Land or New Super Mario Land, please? Nintendo?

[@mirai4738]

You will wait for a long time

[@zachalejandro]

I must say, this was a pretty darn good Nintendo Direct especially the last part. Happy Holidays to everyone and Nintendo :)

[@DacyAndEric]

A new Yoshi! I'd love a remake or Yoshi Story 64. That Robo game actually looks like a LOT of fun, and of course, I'm getting that Link/Dynasty Warriors hybrid game, hands down.

[@SuperGamer87]

One thing I do admire in particular about Mr. Iwata and Mr. Fils-Aime giving the Nintendo Direct presentations themselves is that it shows that these company presidents are actually up and in the know about their own products and aren't afraid to stand behind their offering themselves. Not a common trait among company presidents much at all these days.

[@SuperGamer87]

And am I the only one who gets hypnotized by Reggie's hand gestures during his many presentations? They're just so...presentationalistic. (Yeah, I just invented that.)

[@SuperGamer87]

Man, nobody does DLC (or ensures quality DLC from other companies) like Nintendo!

[@JazzMachine77]

Nintendo is simply the best game company nowadays!!!!!

[@booput]

nuh uh

[@atko92]

I thought the Rosalina in SSB was actually a Kirby introduction as a character into Mario Kart 8

[@NinjaHamsters101]

You've just got TROLLED by Nintendo!!! lol xD

[@NeriMSF]

The Rosalina reveal was a total troll from Sakurai. First he tells you it's Kirby Air Rider, then hey, Mario Kart. Then out of nowhere, bam, new character. Well done Sakurai, well done.

[@neji1641]

I thought that Kirby was joining Mario Kart 8. Which got me thinking... wouldn't it be cool if there was a Super Smash Bros Kart?! ... No? Okay...

[@NotYoCheese-wb8kc]

I thought Kirby was going to be in the next Mario Kart when I saw him crash through there xD Just Rosalina yelling at us that she's in the next Smash Bros :D

[@NotYoCheese-wb8kc]

Plz put Kirby in a Mario Kart game Dx

[@aMkinfinity]

***** But then It wouldn't be MARIO kart. Mario characters only man. UNLESS they make it nintendo kart. Which is unlikely

[@NotYoCheese-wb8kc]

It's only one character though dude. Besides, it's not like it's the end of nintendo as we know it just because they put Kirby in mario kart.

[@Keldeox]

Rosalina must have saved Nintendo or something cause she has been getting WAY more respect than Daisy.

[@Keldeox]

Tylerburrito I agree that she doesn't have a personality, which is why if Nintendo puts her in a real game they can develop that.

[@Zadlerma]

Tylerburrito Daisy's first appearance was in Super Mario Land (1989), where she was an important character in the story of that game!

[@OriginalBloodAce]

As soon as Iwata mentioned Gamecube I was like STARFOX? F-Zero? Is that you? Then silly Chibi Robo...

[@patormovies]

When you see the January direct and then this one, you can notice how iwata is much more exiting in this one.
