Imagine if you had done a live reaction to this one.

It's so ironic when Iwata said that not many people had the opportunity to play Wind Waker originally because the GameCube install base was small. Wii U install base today is half of the GameCube one in its days. Poor Wind Waker... Also RIP Iwata. We will miss you!

It makes us fans feel included in the development of the games some how, and i'm grateful for that... sadly, the majority of the people like to get things more... you know... *DIRECTLY* , the game has to be understood and shown in a complete state while also showing a close release date or the consumer will be pissed.

RIP to Satoru Iwata. He was a game developer, a corporate president but in his heart, he was a gamer.

When Iwata said they would release Wii U updates due to "player requests" instead of "user feedback" just shows how much he viewed gaming as something for everyone and not just a corporation. The Wii U was far from a traditional success, but it will probably be the last era of Nintendo higher-ups being this genuinely caring about gaming. I won't stop missing this saint.

You know, as godly as this Direct was, I actually think it hurt Nintendo more than it helped them. It made expectations for future directs balloon out of control and announcing a lot of these games so early did a number on their hype later on. I understand why they had to do this given how dire things were back in January 2013, but I am glad Nintendo now tries to not announce games too early just as they used to. Also, god speed Iwata. May your pure soul be at rest.

This Direct is now 10 years old.

It honestly feels crazy to me that the game that ended up being the final 1st Party Wii U game and one of the launch titles for the Switch had a presence throughout the entire lifespan of the Wii U (Like, this Direct was roughly 2 months after the Wii U launched!). Probably the closest thing the Wii U ever had to vaporware. It's just wild how throughout the entire lifespan of the Wii U, we were constantly getting peeks at what next-gen Nintendo would look like.

Absolutely. In general, I feel the Wii U & 3DS era brought and delivered some of the most unique and underappreciated games, features, and experiences. Sure, not everything during that era was perfect. But I'd gladly take that over the current underwhelming state of both Nintendo & Switch. (That's just how I view it, you may think differently)

Hot damn was this an insane direct, literary everything you would want to hear as a fan. However, this was clearly Nintendo's trap card for the weak Wii U sales because the release dates for all these games ranged from 1-4 years which is crazy!

There's been announced a new Nintendo Direct for tomorrow, 14.2, at 6 a.m. PST! You can watch it live on Nintendo's Direct site or their Facebook page.

I can't believe it's been 10 years already since the first footage of XCX was revealed.

Wii U’s gigantic failure and the fact Iwata had to die in the middle of it makes me sad

Nintendo, please. I understand that you are currently under a lot of pressure and hard work, but please give us just a little bit more information for Yarn Yoshi. I loved Yoshi's story, and this game looks very promising. Thank you.

10 years of this direct I cant belive it

You can do it when the Virtual Console update comes.

the 30th anniversary games are always realsed in the middle of the month, you can look up on their website on which date they will be released. but in 4-6 days i think

also you can currently buy games for .30 cents for a limited time only that is not alot that is really cheap and Miiverse adds to arcade game cause you can show a screen shot of your high score and you can say try to beat that.

So much nostalgia for the Wii U era of Nintendo. Wasn’t perfect but given how small the community it made it feel really special
