So what we saw on 12/11/2015 Nintendo Direct?
10 years ago
(Or I should say, European version of the same direct came up at midnight 13/11/2015. X3 )
So the long waited Nintendo Direct happened, after being in hiatus since Satoru Iwata´s unfortunate passing.
I try to give as much opinions about the releases, I also like to warn you advance for this journal being really long, because there was some details of the games that appeared in both US and European versions, but with some different details.
So get comfy and let´s get started!
You should check out these videos(which you can see the both directs at following links) before reading further:

Nintendo Europe Direct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcgxbB1BB9E
After checking out the videos, let´s see what this lion though about these directs.
First up is the list of games that appeared in both US and EU Nintendo Directs and which got my curiousity.
1. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
The trailer and gameplay footage of Twilight Princess HD looks really cool and also I like that the current The Legend of Zelda amiibos in SSB series will be compatible with this remake.
Also...that Wolf Link Amiibo..Wooooooow!
And that can also transfer some data from Twilight Princess HD to upcoming Zelda Wii U game.
This is also great way for hardcore fans to celebrate 30th anniversary of Zelda games.
The bundle with Twilight Princess HD game, Wolf Link Amiibo and soundtrack will be released in US and Europe at 4/3/2016.
European Nintendo Direct did even also mentioned for Wolf Link Amiibo coming as separate package later on.
2. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow for Virtual Consol
To celebrate beginning of Pokemon´s journey 20 years ago at 2016, Nintendo surprises Pokemon fans with releasing the games that started Pokémania.
I´m personally feeling so nostalgic for this news, because I remember that my first game was Pokemon Yellow on Gameboy Color.
Even though we old fans (and new) can´t go back time with making link cable trades or battles, gladly the games will have same features with wireless connection.
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow will be released on Virtual Consol at 27/2/2016 (same date as the games were originally released 20 years ago in Japan)
3. Pokken Tournament
I personally can´t wait for getting this game once it´s released Spring 2016 and also I hope to get that Shadow Mewtwo Amiibo card for unlocking it right away in game.
4. Fire Emblem Fates
This is also one of the games I definitely will buy once it´s released.
The all need news we got is that there will be also 3rd version coming up alongside with Birthright and Conquest, called Revelution and this will be either available in Birthright or Conquest as in game download or in special edition which includes the all 3 games, artbook and Fire Emblem Fates themed 3ds pouch for US buyers.
The release date for Fire Emblem Fates is announced in US as 19/2/2016, but for European release, there´s no exact dates given (which is a huge bummer in my opinion, looks like we need to wait for updates for that, European fans)
5. Super Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS, Splatoon and Super Mario Maker updates
Great that Nintendo is updating these games, cause I like playing with these games as I have some time to spare ^^
Splatoon gets 2 new stages, new gears and weapons in upcoming updates and also website for checking your online ranking, Super Mario Maker gets a website where you can select courses you want to play
And I definitely say, that announcing for FF7 remake for other consols, Square Enix got good point to get some publicity by getting Cloud from FF7 as playable character and also FF7 themed stage in SSB.
Before I managed to get work, there was some rumors that upcoming SSB for Wii U/3DS special presentation at December will be the last one for the game.
If that would be true, I can imagine that Mr. Sakurai has planned so much for this presentation and I´m sure that after the presentation and with updates after that, there could be enough stuff for SSB games for now and he could get a well deserved rest after giving so much stuff for these games (until the sequel released, of course x3)
But we´ll see what Mr. Sakurai has on his sleeve for the upcoming presentation ^^
As much there was lot of great games coming up and updates for excisting games told, there was couple game news in both directs that I honestly wasn´t interested at all and those are Pokemon Picross and Yo-kai Watch.
Sorry, but this lion just simply isn´t huge fan of those games.
Pokemon Picross´s case I rather wanted to hear something else Pokemon related than just that (even though Super Mystery Dungeon, Virtual Consol news and Pokken Tournament was good enough for me).
Even though I´m a huge Pokemon fan, I´m not still tempted to get this title.
Yo-kai Watch... Oh gosh, what I have to say about this game overall?
I might go off topic with this one at some point too, but anyways... here we go~*sighs*
I got little bit feeling that it tries to be a wannabe Pokemon copycat kinda and after watching few parts of anime, it just pushed me further away and I´m not into that series.
And in my opinion, English voice dud sounds bit dumb and annoying for this lion´s ears.
Seeing first glimpses of the gameplay also made my decision that Yo-kai Watch isn´t for me at all.
Alrighty, it´s time for me to stop rambling and look forward what Nintendo will make for us in near future ^^
What you guys think and which games or updates you´re impatiently waiting from Nintendo?

Kannattaa ostaa peli heti kun se ilmestyy niin saat varmasti tuon kortin, ellei sitten ole niin että kortteja on saatavilla vain tietyissä maissa, en kylläkään usko siihen.
Joulukuussa muuten paljastetaan sen SSBB Fighter Ballot -äänestyksen voittaja (toivottavasti Krystal), tuo Cloud Strife oli ihan eri juttu.
