What does the Valentine's Day Nintendo Direct announcements mean for gamers?

GameZones Lance Liebl writes: "Another Nintendo Direct is in the bag; Nintendo fans were given announcements that'll surpass anything your significant other could possibly do for you on Valentine's Day. With a ton of new information, 3DS owners have to be feeling pretty good right now. With some exciting new titles headed to the handheld, 2013 is shaping up to be a really exciting year. However, the Wii U didn't get anywhere near the amount of attention I was expecting."

plain and simple, not every nintendo direct is going to be a block buster, like the last one was, this was a good direct for wii u, we got confirmed dates of certain games, like need for speed and lego city, and the huge down load announcemect with super luigi u for SMBU, japan and europe were 3ds only, do you honestly think, america, would be the only place to get huge block buster news? no all of the nintendo directs, will announce huge news together, this was just basically to give wii u face a little more solid release dates on some titles, i have a feeling, the next nintendo direct, probably in march, could have major announcement or two, not every single nintendo direct is going to be mega news, about major titles, if they did, they would have nothing to floor people with at the e3.
we wii u fans will keep getting little teases now, here and there, the next really big blow out will be the e3, with 3d mario, mario kart, smash bros., monolith x, and yoshi, and bayonetta 2, and who knows what else, wii u could dominate the show, that's what i think nintendo is waiting for, just teasing us until the e3, and i think it will be worth the wait.

What does it mean? It means I better get a 2nd job to afford more games.

Lots of games, very little time. I already have a lot of games to look forward to and Nintendo just thickened the list for me.

just think this is all before E3 , if the E3 reveals are good than nintendo may have one of its best years ever for games
