Dio Brando 5,810 Posted March 30, 2015 This is a rumour and I’m not entirely sure of its legitimacy, but here we go. A number of you have contacted me regarding information of a Nintendo Direct which was supposedly leaked by a German Nintendo Europe employee. The post has been translated into English and here’s the content contained within. Iwata apologizes again for the Zelda delay and announced a new title for Wii U, which will release in Winter 2015 instead: Paper Mario (working title): first trailer shown, uses the best parts of the first four titles of the series, developed by Intelligent Systems, more infos at E3 2015. Pokemon Rumble World will be presented, releases on April 17th 2015 in the Nintendo eShop for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. The game supports the Pokemon amiibo from the Smash Bros. Collection. SNES titles will be released in the 3DS eShop, the Wii U eShop will get GB und GBC titles. There will also be some cross-play for VC titles already bought and which are available on both systems. (My note: If you bought one game on the 3DS, you can also play it on your Wii U. No need to buy it twice.) The SNES, GB and GBC titles will be released after the presentation. The Web eShop will be presented. Developed by Nintendo and DeNA. You can log in with your NNID and use the normal eShop functions. If the console is in stand-by, games bought on the eShop will be automatically downloaded. The Web eShop will implemented both the Wii U and 3DS eShop. Planned launch: April 2015. New functions for the eShop: Pre-orders. Customers will be able to buy games months in advance and will get a 10% discount. The amount will be charged on launch day or the day the pre-load starts. The first games will be available following the presentation: Splatoon Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition amiibo Gallery will be presented. With this app, gamers can use their amiibo already used on the console, to look at them in a gallery. There you can take pictures of them and show them in Miiverse. There is also a mode called Origins. When you scan the amiibo via the NFC reader, you’ll be able to play a segment of the first game the amiibo appeared in. (My note: If you scan Link, you should be able to play a part of the first Legend of Zelda is my understanding of this.) This app will be available for free in May 2015 for Wii U and 3DS. N64 games will be available in June 2015 in the Wii U eShop. Release list: June 4th: Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (If you buy one of the games until June 11th 23:59 MEZ, you get the other for free.) June 11th: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards June 18th: Super Smash Bros. June 25th: 1080° Snowboarding The games support widescreen and upscaling to 720p, support all controllers and off-tv-play. Price: 9,99 € per game. Owners who already bought the game on the Wii Shop can upgrade for 1,99 €. Iwata passes onto Satoru Shibata. MK8 DLC Pack 2 will launch on May 7th 2015. Trailer shown, Software-Update will launch on the same day with the following new features: Time laps on tv, seperate screens for local 2 player games: One on the GamePad, one on the TV, new amiibo costumes.

Yokai Watch will be localised and release later this year in Europe. Shibata says good bye and lets Iwata speak once again.

Hero of Winds 2,576 Posted March 30, 2015 April Fools the rumor's a joke! That would be real cheesy and can be pretty expected, so I'll let it slide this time, so a Direct could still very well happen. I'll leave it to Nintendo though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aru Akise 2,540 Posted March 30, 2015 Ah, April 1st. Such a lovely day. And here we go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaForte 1,674 Posted March 30, 2015 I didn't post it just because April 1st showed up. Although if this turns out to be legitimate, MOTHERfiretruckING PAPER MARIO! Redemption time, please do not make it NSMB style like Sticker Star. Also I hope Nintendo doesn't mess up on Palutena's and ZSS's face, but after seeing FE characters, I'm not that hopeful.

Setrex 1,031 Posted March 30, 2015 I'm sceptical because it's April 1st, but damn that's a lot of detail someone has done just for a joke. A lot of the announcements make sense (like Fatal Frame V in EU for example) but I think it's too early for them to be talking even more about the whole Nintendo/DeNA thing. Still I guess we'll wait and see if they announce a Direct either tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm not holding my breath, but that's a decent Direct line-up if it is true.

Shulk 8,623 Posted March 30, 2015 Not reading the whole thing in case of the low, low, loooow chance that it's true (April 1 alone makes me wary), but from what I read of it, it sounds like most fake leaks: Completely made up by fan requests to get people excited for a fake. I'm doubting this will happen. 1 Aru Akise reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadpool 1,200 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Is obviously fake because it announces a GOOD sounding Paper Mario game. Edited March 30, 2015 by Deadpool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KHLegendIII 709 Posted March 30, 2015 I found this on Smashboards. We were chatting about Mewtwo, and someone posted this.: http://mynintendonews.com/2015/03/30/pokemonrumbleworld-com-domain-has-been-registered-in-the-us/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WakingDawn96 1,166 Posted March 30, 2015 Um....I never believe in anything that happens of April 1st, I have trust issues on that date Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ven983 490 Posted March 30, 2015 I trust nothing and no one about anything regarding April 1st; I will only believe it when I see Iwata on my computer screen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultima Spark 753 Posted March 30, 2015 Is obviously fake because it announces a GOOD sounding Paper Mario game. Thousand-Year Door was a good game... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadpool 1,200 Posted March 30, 2015 Thousand-Year Door was a good game... Yeah, it was amazing. Easily my favorite Mario game of all time, actually. I just meant after departing from the typical gameplay with Super Paper Mario (amazing story, just decent gameplay) and giving us Sticker Star, I'm a little weary... 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAtgS 70 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) That this line-up sounds better than some E3s Nintendo's had is what dooms it to fakedom. Too much too good to be true. Edited March 30, 2015 by MAtgS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted March 30, 2015 April 1st? Really? You all know what I'm thinking here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimosora 159 Posted March 30, 2015 April 1st? Really? You all know what I'm thinking here. MM3d and the New 3ds was released Friday the 13, so it could be possible. *Hears that SNES games will be on the 3DS Eshop* I'm a bit skeptical on this, but if the rumor is true then that only means one thing... *Looks at Ness Amiibo* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted March 30, 2015 Friday the 13th isn't known for people blatantly lying and trolling for the heck of it. April 1st is the best day to be skeptical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
