HYPE RISING

I can see it now. Sakurai reveals Captain Falcon at the beginning of the direct, and then Palutena near the end. The middle shows off the new Classic mode and Adventure mode, talks about some new content in the game, and shows maybe a match or two of the game in action.

Finally Iwata apologizes for the long wait, and announces a demo releasing on the e-shop at E3.

Direct ends with the words "Coming 2015".

Honestly, if we got a demo I'd be fine with the main game getting delayed to 2015. Nintendo doesn't really seem to do demos at all though, so I doubt this would ever happen.

Smash demo means hackers can hack in-game data, and therefore leak roster if data is present (which it's way more work to clean up demo game files than you'd think). PSASBR did this, if i recall. I doubt nintendo wants any leaks ever. Don't count on a demo (for more reasons than the one i mentioned).
 
I have zero facts, but to me it would either imply it's coming out earlier than expected and it'll be playable at e3 so they announced that now, or it's getting a delay and this is a news blast to get content out there and keep people with things to chew over to lessen the blow of the announcement and go quietly at e3 about it an focus on Zelda.

This makes sense, except that they won't probably make a dedicated Direct just to announce a delay. They could very well announce it in the bimonthly Direct that was anyhow supposed to happen in April. Like DK delay was announced.

I'm still betting on a summer release.

Until now there was no game focused direct other than an announcement direct (1st Pokemon direct in Jan/Feb 2013, MH 4) or close to the release (W101, NSMBU, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pikmin 3, 2nd Pokemon Direct, 2nd MH4 direct). SSB4 was already "announced" at E3 2013. If this is a Direct just for more details, than it would be a really new thing.

Edit: all the game focused directs can be seen in this list, the cells are yellow.

......I almost want this to happen
 
We do have precedent for them announcing trying to smooth over bad news with good news (Sonic in Brawl + delay).

Yea but I dont see them having a full Nintendo Direct just to end up telling us the game is delayed to 2015. They would just do that at E3, and continue to not talk much about the game outside of pic of the day.

When DKCTF got delayed they throw up the logo in a ND and said it was pushed back a few months due to it needed a lil more time.

Now it may come out this fall but I doubt they are gonna have a Nintendo Direct to announce a years delay from the same company that never talks about games until about a month before they release.
 
I could see them talking up the games new features for 25 minutes and then saying "to incorporate all these new features, the game will require a little more time. Please look forward to Smash Bros. early next year."
 
Really excited for this! I was wondering why they'd randomly release MK8 trailers and info recently if they were going to have a Direct later this month anyways. Turns out we'll have a specific Direct focused on Smash!!!

That would be stupid. Why do a dedicated ND for it? Why do it now, when MK8 is in full hype and no one expects SSB4 until November? Before the E3? Cover MK8 and E3 info with the delay of SSB4? No, not even Nintendo wouldn't do something that stupid.

I'd be okay with that but the only downfall is that Nintendo has a limit of like 10 tries for a demo.
 
aweeee yeah, pittoo gonna be announced B^) B^)

its time :P



if you don't know who that is then go buy kid icarus uprising today, like a 2 year old game by now 0_O
 
Oh my god you're all right! PALUTENA!!

It's over due, I've been keeping this badge on my avatar for too long now, come on out, Goddess of Light!

I'm not gonna be the one to underestimated how 'stupid' they can be, ever again. I've learned my lesson.
 
Woo, can actually watch this hopefully!

Shulk, Hades, Wonder Red, Chrom/Lucina and/or an Ike reveal would be nice too pls.
 
This is my first time stepping into a Smash Bros thread, so forgive me if you've all discussed this before but...

...what are the chances of 3DS players battling Wii U players online, through strict conditions of course??
 
I don't know why I post at Smasboards, LOL. You try to explain them that the same scenario happened with Pokemon and it was released 9 months later. But they don't wanna hear it lol

Choo choo I guess...

Why all the suddenly conviction for Palutena?

Because PALUTENA!!

And honestly, because the more newcomers the better for a game that is already shaping up to be amazing. The fact that it's a new and exciting character, that has recently been reinvigorated so much and characterized so well with the Kid Icarus revival, makes her a prime candidate.
 
I hope Shulk, Palutena and Chrom are announced! Pllllzzzzzz!!!

Annndddd HYPPPEEEEEEE :

Except that Pokemon was announced in that Direct, 9 month before release. SSB was announced already at E3 2013.
And Pokemon got also a special direct before the release.

Pokemon already had a release date by the time that second Direct rolled around. For Smash, we have nothing more specific than 2014.

So yeah, the fact that we're getting a dedicated Smash Direct does not indicate anything new in regards to the launch date.
 
oh man what if Nintendo pulled one of their "we are pleased to announce that this game will release.......*directly* after this broadcast"


I'm sorry. sorry. I'm sooooo sorry. I'm sorry......sorry

I'm NOT sorry! mnnahhhhhh!
