So its on all 3 systems... I hope they kinda make up for E3 being a bit lackluster. *crosses fingers for something exciting*

No problem! ^^
Oh, you'll probably be able to find the video on YouTube or on Nintendo's official website after the livestream is over.
Yeah, hopefully something exciting shows up... (Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing...)

Thanks for the heads up!

Maybe Nintendo sensed our enormous amounts of disappointed-aura and decided to win us over again with this Nintendo Direct. emotion_awesome

Just finished watching the stream. It was ok, actually. But uh... the 3DS XL actually exists. I was sure that Nintendo denied the rumor, but apparently, it exists. O_o I don't get it, Nintendo said they WEREN'T interested in a new design. Hm. It will be released on August 19 for $199, same day as NSMB2.



However, a bit of interesting news for SUPER SMASH BROS. 4!
They are working with Namco Bandai with this one. (Click here)

Of course, more stuff on New Super Mario Bros 2... They can't shut up about that one.

The Kirby 20th anniversary game collection, or now called Kirby's Dream Collection, games have also been revealed:

Kirby's Dream Land 1
Kirby's Dream Land 2
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Kirby's Adventure
Kirby Super Star
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

(TBH, those are some of my favorite games in the series! Crystal Shards FTW!)

It was also mentioned that there are extra levels in Dream Collection that are based on the Ability Challenges from Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Adventure Wii.

Black and White Version 2 were also mentioned, but there's nothing necessarily new about it.

A few 3rd party games were mentioned as well, such as Castlevania, Skylanders Giants, Adventure Time, and Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.

I'll post the link to the video: HERE!

Animal Crossing was NOT mentioned... in the American stream. However, some people are saying that it was mentioned in the Japanese Nintendo Direct which also took place today. I'll find that tomorrow because it is getting a little late here and I need to get to bed.

Wait, I think the site listing what was talked about from the Japanese Nintendo Direct is from the one from April. (2012.4.21)

Wow there was a lot of news eek I'm going through Nintendo Life looking at it all now.
Here's a quick summary of the main points- http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/06/north_american_nintendo_direct_round_up_22nd_june

And I think Nintendo has a history of denying things that later turn out to be true because they weren't ready to announce it yet.

But seriously, why wouldn't they have announced the XL at E3?? Is it because they didn't have the system ready to play with, or they just wanted people to mostly focus on the Wii U?
