I didn't think of it this morning, but I think we'll also get a first look at the second MK 8 DLC pack too.

Half price better mean like $10! Galaxy 2 and the Prime Trilogy will be mine.

The Wii VC thing is very interesting. Still not sure why Gamecube VC isn't a thing.

No updates on Smash DLC. Now I'm sad.

Pretty good Direct otherwise, though.

Make that two colors and two special editions. I want that Majoras Mask one!

The Majora's Mask system is awesome. But I gotta admit, I like the stylish look of the Monster Hunter 4 ULTIMATE system, too.

Which one to get?!? I don't know...!

A little heavier on 3DS than I expected, but that's not a bad thing. There were a lot more questions about the upcoming 3DS lineup than the Wii U's. Now I'm checking Best Buy and Gamestop's websites every couple minutes waiting for them to open up new 3DS preorders. I want the MM one, but I already have the LE of the game with the Skull Kid statue ordered.

Spoke too soon I guess. I don't need a New 3DS XL, but that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Edition is tempting....

@DeputyVanHalen

Yeah, they seemed to put a stronger focus on 3DS for this direct, but that kind of makes sense since there is new hardware just around the corner. Plus, some pretty cool-looking games. Besides, they focused nearly entirely on Wii U during last E3. I don't mind if they focus back on the portable for this Direct.

Glad to see they didn't put out more info on Zelda U - I'm on media blackout for that one. I'm happy I didn't have to skip any part of the presentation as to not accidentally spoil myself. I will say that Xenoblade Chronicles X looks pretty amazing. I know the Wii U has this rep of not being as powerful as PS4/Xbone, but...man. When I look at games like Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, and this Xenoblade game...I wonder how much "lack of power" really matters? These games look amazing.
