With any luck... Don't get me wrong, he's fine. I just think bringing him back with a Phantom Pain stage and all would seem a little... desperate.

Of course.

If they announce a Phantom Pain stage, then it would be Biggu Bossu taking the stage

 

[fredrancour]

I realize that in all probability they won't release a demo at the end of the direct
BUT
I will still sit near my wiiu while watching this just in case they do, so I have a shot of getting on the eshop before it melts.
BELIEVE.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Hype.

 

[Nibel]

People expecting demos

The thirst is reaal

 

[Kouriozan]

Tonight is the night!
All your dreams will come true!
IT'S HYPE TIME!

Seems I got the right day this time.

Say a kangaroo knocked you out and you temporarily lost track of what day it was.

 

[theprodigy]

Oh yeah I actually made a nice leap in my mind and thought you were referring to how people expected 3DW make DKC grow (...?). Yeah you're right.



It's not a new argument. It's the only rational one. You can't expect a game released on platform with less than 6 million units sold sell much more than what 3D World did. As for DK I'd wait until we have better data on how it did. Even after that it is bound to have longs legs. Not that it's different from 3D World in that regard.

it has a lower attach rate than Sunshine, how amazing of it

 

[kittens]

Hate to break it to you but the current names are the official names of the games -- Sakurai confirmed them to be what you see now last E3.

What the hell, really? That's stupid.

Just imagine if it did happen...Also Woo 3 hours to go

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Hope we get a release date or at least a month!

 

[Beelzebufo]

I mean, it's not any worse than DX or X

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Seems I got the right day this time.

3 hours until they announce that Ridley and Palutena and Lucina are assist trophies, the game is delayed to Early 2015, and Snake

Rattle and Roll stage

is confirmed.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

incoming playable demo at the end of direct

Anything less than this and I'm going after Iwata personally.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

What the hell, really? That's stupid.

Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS.

Smash Bros for.

Smash Bros four.

Smash Bros the fourth Smash Bros title.

 

[georly]

What the hell, really? That's stupid.

It's a play on the fact that it's the fourth (4) smash bros.

Super smash bros for/4 3DS
Super smash bros for/4 Wii U

 

[Anth0ny]

3 hours yay

Do we know how long this thing is going to be yet? 20 minutes?

 

[Sendou]

Are you being thick on purpose?

 

[Sadist]

Oh god three hours

 

[emb]

Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS.

Smash Bros for.

Smash Bros four.

Smash Bros the fourth Smash Bros title.

Hope it gets changed. It's pretty much the worst title they could have possibly come up with. At least cheese it and go with a '4' instead of the word 'for'.

3 hours yay

Do we know how long this thing is going to be yet? 20 minutes?

Some Nintendo website had it listed as ~30 minutes. It's an estimate, but probably closer to 30 than 20.

 

[maxcriden]

Probably a dumb question, but is there any way to watch this streaming through my Wii U?

 

[10k]

I couldn't even handle a summer release. My world would literally end.

That's why it's coming out April 30th, as a surprise release.

 

[Neiteio]

3 hours until they announce Lucina riding Ridley who is carrying Palutena in his talons while Palutena fires a Gatling gun and furiously chews a cigar and yells random racial slurs.

Fixed

It means very little to me really. They were running out of random synonyms for "fight". Although Smash Bros Kerfuffle is something that I'd very much like to have on my shelf.

That's why it's coming out April 30th, as a surprise release.

Welp, there goes my degree.

 

[Sendou]

UStream works (except when it doesn't but it's not any better on PC necessarily).

 

[kittens]

They should name the games using some pun that notes the fact that they're multiplatform. Like, umm, I don't know. Anything other than "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U" for fucks sake.

 

[Trago]

3 hours until nightfall....

Spoiler

Please sakurai!

 

[ffdgh]

3 hours yay

Supposedly 30 mins

Smash Direct will be ca. 30min long

 

[Kiote]

Nah, they could have called it "Wii U"

 

[GregLombardi]

This is one of my favorite series in history. I am very hyped in my head right now, with a shrieking fear of a delay.

 

[theprodigy]

truth hurts doesn't it, and it's not like it'll be getting any higher

Smash Bros. Cross-SLAY

Smash Bros. Cross-DIE

Except they're not cross-play or cross-buy....

 

[Kiote]

Go to Smash Bros. Miiverse and Find Sakurai's last post. Inside his post is a Wii U Browser Icon. Click it and it will take you to the stream through the browser.

 

[Brawl96]

Will there be any gaffers at Nintendo World Store to watch the stream live?
I'm going.

"Watch the #SmashBros. Nintendo Direct with us at #NintendoWorld as we stream it live at 6 pm! http://t.co/E0bSEN0HtK"

 

[Aaron Strife]

3 hours until nightfall....

Please sakurai!

Simon would be so fucking awesome. I don't think he'll be in though, Castlevania's not as big a name as it used to be.

 

[XenodudeX]

Smash is my favorite series and most anticipated game this year. Everything else is second fiddle. I hope we don't have to wait until the fall.

 

[Insaniac]

Whats the link I can watch it after the stream is over? I won't be home from work in time

 

[phanphare]

Anything less than this and I'm going after Iwata personally.

I've got $3.50 on your plane ticket if that happens

 

[Neiteio]

Simon would be so fucking awesome. I don't think he'll be in though, Castlevania's not as big a deal now.

You say that when Castlevania just received a major new installment (including one on 3DS) and Mega Man is in despite new Mega Man games being virtually nonexistent.

If you think I have any kind of emotional connection with Wii U's market performance then you are mistaken. What I do have an issue is that this is the best you can do if your intention is to provocate. That's some grade school level shit right there.

Seriously.

 

[Trago]

Simon would be so fucking awesome. I don't think he'll be in though, Castlevania's not as big a name as it used to be.

But he is a classic character from the NES.

We got Mega Man, Pit, and Little Mac. Time for another.

Let's take care of Nintendo's own, first. Still holding out for Mike Jones, Takamaru, Sukapon, Mach Rider, and the Urban Champion.
