Nintendo Direct Airs January 14th, With Focus on Spring 2015 Games

[Crossroads Bulletin]

Nintendo have announced that a Nintendo Direct broadcast will be happening tomorrow, with information about upcoming games for Spring (Northern Hemisphere)/Autumn (Southern Hemisphere) 2015. It will be hosted by the President of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, along with Nintendo of Europe President Satoru Shibata.
It is unknown whether the Nintendo Direct will contain any Pokemon news, although an announcement of a new game sometime soon is expected, considering no known Pokemon games (besides Pokken Tournament – an arcade game for Japan) are in the works. Pokemon X and Y were announced in a Nintendo Direct broadcast in January two years ago.
Nintendo Direct will broadcast at the following time:

• USA: 6am PT, January 14th
• Europe: 3pm CET, January 14th
• Australia/New Zealand: 1am AEDT, January 15th

When the time comes, you can watch it at the Nintendo Direct website by clicking here.

NEW POKEMON GAME PLZZZZ

Even a spin off or something. Usually there were spin offs being made ALL THE TIME! 6th gen has been so quiet though. I wonder if it's because it's harder to make games in 3D?!

I remember watching the X and Y announcement with you... :') I don't have the logs, but I remember dying over Fennekin.

I really hope this will contain an announcement for a new Pokemon game. Preferably Kalos' third installment, but I'd also really like a Mystery Dungeon, a 3D Pokemon Ranger, or maybe a Gen VI Pokemon Conquest! :D inb4 nothing pokemon-related

They remade Hoenn so they should remake Orre

This is exciting! :D I imagine they'll have information on LoZ: Majora's Mask 3D, which is supposed to be coming out this year. Zelda WiiU news would be cool, too :D Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I'd also like to hear some Fire Emblem news, too xD

I was just wondering the other day about a sequel to X and Y; maybe it's too soon, since ORAS just came out, but I still have to wonder--if they do make sequels, will it be like BW2? Or will we have a Pokemon Z?

Junichi Masuda candidly said in an interview that they would not be doing Pokemon Z, because fans would "expect" it, which is apparently the same reason they didn't go Grey. I really have no idea whether it'll be a sequel, a prequel, or a new adventure all together. Could even be a combination of Kalos and Hoenn, or maybe like Johto and add a new region. GF has been breaking some patterns lately, so there's no way to know!

Actually, I do remember seeing somewhere that Nintendo / Gamefreak wanted to be able to pump out one new main series Pokemon game each year from here on out, and that's what they were working on doing.

They also said something along the lines of how everyone is expecting a Z Version and how they wanted to change things up again a bit. Which would be super cool

[FedoraChar]

Ah... okay xD I really should try to keep up with Pokemon's developer interviews xD

You know what would be really cool is a prequel to X and Y (set really far into the past like medieval times. In France. :D)

Yeah, GF wants to have a main series game out every year, and they're not doing Z. Though, a Kanto game would do well because come February of 2016, it'll be the 20th anniversary and I can't say I think they'd pass it up. Honestly, I'm thinking we'll get a Kalos third installment that's set two years before X and Y, due to the references of people saying, "A few years ago..."

Though, X and Y were revealed in a Pokemon Direct, not a Nintendo Direct, while ORAS were revealed on the Official site and B2W2 revealed on Pokemon Smash!. I'm wondering if we'll get any Pokemon news...

I remember that! Good times! :D

I'm really hoping they don't do a BW2 thing again unless they make the games REALLY different. I don't want to dish out for two sequels that are practically the same as the first games. ;_;

Oh my freaking god, yes. This actually sounds really like a very legitimate theory if we go under the assumption that they're trying to surprise us.

And they would need to do at least SOMETHING to give us some kind of coverage on Zygarde.
