Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 5: Yarning for Yoshi

So a few things can pan out tomorrow, all depending if Japan has a direct announced as well.

No Japan Direct:
  • Diddy Pic of the Day on a normal veteran reveal.

Japan Direct is announced:
  • Pic of the Day Fake-Out + Casual Diddy announcement on the Direct
  • Pic of the Day Fake-Out + Newcomer Announcement (Dixie or Diddy+Dixie)
  • Pic of the Day Fake-Out + Newcomer Announcement (Non-DK related)
  • Normal Pic of the Day Veteran Reveal with no Smash news whatsoever on Direct.

or nothing at all! haha

Edit: Thank you nintendo direct for derailing my post!

Funny thing, is I had the EXACT same post in preview ready to post, when you Ninja'd me hahaha

Same pictures and everything, including a list of items that could be next haha
 
Finally, it's time for Heropon Riki to shine

Iwata: before we go, did you all happen see the recently redesigned home run bat? We hope you will find its look pleasing. Well, goodbye.
 
I just can't imagine a scenario where Dixie would be revealed before Diddy -- I'm positive Diddy would be featured in the CG portion of Dixie's trailer.

We're probably just getting a Diddy confirmation tomorrow.
 
It's my way of keeping hype in check just in case it doesn't happen. Deep down I do really want some more 3DS footage. We need some!

I think it's possible we can get 2 reveal tomorrow. Diddy and...someone else?

I predict something green.
Year of Yoshi starts now
 
I'm kind of annoyed at the Direct announcement. I was hoping for it to be near the end of the month so we could get both Diddy and someone else. Now we're just getting fucking Diddy.

I would probably compare it to the Lucas/Ness situation. That's how I can SORT OF see it happening like that.

But I'm still fully expecting Diddy.

A dual veteran/newcomer announcement would be great though! In fact, it would probably make sense the most with Diddy and Dixie.
 
Didn't every Nintendo Direct since the SSB4 announcement at least have SOME Smash related news?

I don't see how this one will be different.
Yep. Every bimonthly Direct since June has featured Smash Bros.

June - E3 announcement/huge blowout
August - Luigi
October - Sonic
December - Rosalina & Luma
February - ???

There is no confirmation for a Japanese Direct yet. If it's not a worldwide Direct then theres' no Smash Bros. :c

No. Counting all regions but South Korea, there's been 13 Directs since E3. There were 2 Nintendo Directs since then that had Smash Bros. information. The one that showed Sonic, and the one that showed Rosalina. So 11 without info on Smash.

Edit: Oh right, there was the Luigi announcement too.
 
So stoked for this direct. I really don't have high hopes for smash in the direct, more excited to hear possible announcements/reveals/release dates. But smash info is always welcome! :)
 
Imagine…

Diddy is announced through tomorrow’s pic of the day like a typical veteran reveal.

Iwata during the Nintendo Direct: “Yesterday, Mr. Sakurai announced Diddy Kong as a playable character in the new Super Smash Bros. Please take a look.”

The video opens with gameplay footage of Diddy Kong. 15 seconds pass, and then Dixie Kong flies into view and knocks Diddy off the stage. “Dixie Kong twirls into battle!” Cue Dixie Kong gameplay footage.
 
I'm imagining that Diddy Kong will be shown in the Pic of the Day tomorrow, and a Donkey Kong newcomer (possibly Dixie based on Brawl's files) will be shown during the direct with a new trailer.

Which means more Smash 4 footage I can obsess over.

edit: haha, beaten!

I just can't see the reveal of two characters in the same day. They're going to want to spread character reveals out as much as possible.

I'm predicting a picture of Olimar tomorrow. ;)

You guys got it all wrong. Year of Yoshi begins tomorrow.

King K. Rool announcement incoming.
Also confirmed to be secret 5th player Kong in Tropical Freeze

All great things I would love to see as well XD

The Nintendo Direct would be on Friday in Japan, so they'd technically be a day apart. Sonic was revealed 5 days after Toon Link, so it's not completely unprecedented -- and if two characters deserve to be revealed so close to each other on Valentine's Day, it's Diddy and Dixie.
 
Simple reason why I don't think Year of Yoshi is happening: It's 24 years since Super Mario World. Why would they celebrate 24 years? No one celebrates that! And if we count Yoshi's solo outing with Yoshi's Island that's 19 years.

Year of Luigi conveniently celebrated 30 years of Luigi since Mario Bros.

On the flip side 2014 marks 20 years since Donkey Kong Country and gee what game do you think they'll mention in tomorrows Direct. Now I'm not saying it with be the Year of Donkey Kong, but it sure has a better chance.
 
Yoshi carrying Baby Mario is like a meme now, this is like the seventh rumor I've seen with it...but I have to agree, that'd be neat from a visual point of view.
 
Well, I saw this on /v/...

They guessed the right date, at the very least.

(lol)
I really like all of these ideas, actually, and I could see them happening. I would especially love the Paper Mario with a Yoshi focus and a coloring book mechanic.

I could also see this happening. :)
 
hoping in the back of my mind we get a trailer that gets some returning characters out of the way (yoshi, diddy, wario mostly) and then goes on to show a newcomer or possibly more than one. essentially an e3 trailer part 2, if you will.

realistic expectations are for dixie. i don't think we'd get a trailer for just diddy.
