Seeing that the other Nintendo Direct thread is a bit of a mess (at least IMO), I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread that keeps tabs of ongoing and future Nintendo Directs. Think of this thread as a binder with dividers.

Unfortunately the Nintendo Direct is right in the middle of my shift at work so I'll probably just have to peep my social media, but it should be a good one I hope. It would be cool if Nintendo did something for April Fool's, there are so many cruel things they could do.

I'm torn about amiibo at this point, there's just too many being released. I liked the fact that there was a stretch between the next wave, with only 6, but now they added 2 more to that wave on top all the other stuff. I don't even know where I'd place these figures at this point. ):

I stopped trying to get all of the amiibos a long time ago. I think that has really helped my opinion of them. I have stuck to the games I really like and haven't gone wild trying to get them; like going to store opening and buying them on ebay. Once I scaled down what I was getting I think I started to enjoy collecting them a lot more.

That being said I can't explain why I have an interest in the Splatoon amiibos.

Think it's better to get the ones you want than go the completion. For me it's an addiction that couldn't be helped. At first I only wanted 10 of the first 2 waves, now I'm near completion of the 3 current waves.

Also Gamestop tweeted, "Pre-order this exclusive #Ness #amiibo in-store and online starting tomorrow at 2pm CT!"

Mother of god. This isn't an April Fools joke? That is fucking epic and insane. That F-Zero level is going to be better with this! I'll be all up in Mario Kart 8's booty hole at the end of this month by the looks of it :]

Don't see whats so wrong with Digital only. Of course amiibo cards are going to cost "actual" money, they arent just gonna hand them out lmao. Free games = annoying..?

*sigh*

Anyways it was a great presentation and I hope Nintendo will produce these new amiibo at a more steady rate since they fly off the shelves. Gamestop.com is not responding atm.. everyone is trying to preorder Ness lmaooooo

Yeah, after seeing all of that, I'm really itching to get back into Mario Kart 8 again! I haven't played in ages, not even played the DLC once yet.

After learning it took 2-3 minutes for Lucina and Robyn to sell out from one retailer (not sure who), I'm considering walking out of this craze as much as I can. Or at least, not buy anymore FE characters since they will become frustrating to find and aren't the best looking amiibo figures. I'll probably just stick with getting a Ness if I can online, but wont constantly F5 the Gamestop page for.

I just think Nintendo should fill the insanely high demand. It will definitely help them recuperate the losses from the WiiU as a whole. It makes too much sense for them not to do it.

Dude the DLC is awesome and if you buy the bundle I think it's like $12 bucks whereas buying them separately is $8 bucks each. 200 CC mode is going to make the F-Zero level even more epic-er.

Nintendo especially sucks with digitals, and space, and not having a physical copy isn't as satisfying either.

And I mean, I hope they at least sell them in packs like pokemon cards (bad example, pokemon cards have gotten outrageously expensive). They need to be reasonably priced to say the least. They don't even appear to have like a playing card game that u could do with them, and at least with regular amiibos you got a nice figure to display.

And yeah fremium (think thats what they call em) get extremely annoying

If the new game can match or come close to the popularity Fire Emblem has gotten from awakening then there is hope for a home console game in the future or so I keep telling my self!

I just wish they would of told us more about SMT X Fire Emblem... that trailer was vague as hell.

The Path of Radiance -> Radiant Dawn story arch from GameCube to Wii is outstanding, in my opinion. The handheld games have never really held the same charm as those to me despite them being great games.
