Truckload of awesome Wii U stuff announced at Nintendo Direct
Nintendo Direct - 01.23.2013
Here's a summary of what was announced (spoilered in case you want to watch the video and see for yourself):
(SPOILER)
-Yoshi's Island U
-Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei (!!)
-X, a new game by Monolith Soft
-The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD remake (ohgodyes)
-News on Zelda, Smash Bros., and 3D Mario at E3
Needless to say, I nearly fainted. Considering this plus the 3DS's strong list of upcoming games, this is going to be a very, very good year for Nintendo.
Oh god smurfing dammit I need a Wii U now.

I have almost no exposure to Shin Megami Tensei, but anybody who knows me can tell you that I'm a huge Fire Emblem fan. So, I'm looking forward to that.
Also, my cousin told me about the new Zelda, but a remake of the game that's only below Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask in my book? Yes, please!
I literally just told my girlfriend last night that I had no interest in the Wii U until there was a Zelda title for it, and I wake up to announcements for two Zelda titles? smurf.
They're following you! RUN!!!
Oh.... Oh my
Does anyone else find it funny that we've seen more from a Wind Waker HD remake than FFX?
Snarkiness aside, while I can't say I've been excited for Fire Emblem the past few years, I'm curious to see how this crossover will turn out. That, and it'll always be nice to see the Lycian Lords again (both generations). Xenogearblades looks fantastic, I should really pick up that copy of Xenoblade my brother hasn't bothered to play. Maybe after I beat Metroid Prime.
I'm glad Aonuma's trying to redefine Zelda. I've become sick of the standard formula to the point that the only games I can even bother to replay are Wind Waker (I'm one of the few who found ocean travel and the triforce quest to be a breath of fresh air), Majora's Mask, Adventure of Link, and any of the gameboy color titles. (Note, I still have yet to play the original).

Been getting bits and pieces over twitter as it happened this morning, sounds like a lot of really great projects. The only thing tempering it is they kinda pulled the same thing at E3 2010 for the 3DS and then totally did not live up to it.
All of those actually sound really cool. Wonder what X will be.

Welp, looks like I'll be getting a Wii U.
What.
Never played Fire Emblem before, but this might just make my try. I'm sold.
Damn it all to hell! I was not really looking at buying new console but that trailer for the new Monolith Soft game looked great, though I miss the more colorful anime art style of Xenoblade over the more realistic FFXIII style in the trailer but I can pilot a giant robot in a Xenoblade style world so I will just suck it up and deal with it.
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem sounds like an odd crossover, I'll wait to see gameplay footage for that. Zelda is always a hit for me, even if Skyward Sword had more issues than I was comfortable with.
Looks like a Wii U is in my future... when all of these games have an official NA release date...
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Dude, I just saw the trailer. And that is totally a Xenonlade sequel. Even the user interface is nearly identical! This is a dream come true! A sequel (or at least successor of some sort) to the greatest game in existence! WANT!
Nintendo is doomed.
