Do you feast on the tears of Animal Crossing fans waiting?
They are delicious.
Any chance of pre-E3 announcements from Nintendo?

you could always ignore it like I did, but I ended up regretting doing so as soon as the game came out, since I had no clue they changed the physics. So disappointing.
Why would you put yourself through that again?
That conference was just a brutal tidal wave of disappointment. The right at the end, when you think it couldn't possibly get any worse; Nintendo Land fireworks!
At least 3D Mario, Kart and Smash will mean we wont have to face that again.
Smash 4 in 7 days though. I reeeeeeeeeaaaalllllllly hope they do a Dojo type thing again.
The opening was fantastic, though. People like to forget that.

It was. The direct needs to have the whole thing with similar production.
I think that only inchreases the pain. Great opening makes you think this is going to be good, then it doesnt hold up to that promise at all.
They should have learned from Disneyland. There are a lot of long lines and not everything is fun, but when you go home all you remember is that crazy fireworks show at the end .... Wait, scratch that.
I'm sorry to hear that, my condolences.Just found out my grandad died and the funeral is three hours before the Direct.
He liked his games though so I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I check up on my phone at the wake.
I can still get on the hype train though can't I?
I'm sure if he liked games he would understand!

Huh... And do you really think they wouldn't reveal the initial cast list before release if there was no dojo? That's basic information that pretty much needs to be revealed one way or another. The only secrets officially revealed before release were Snake and Sonic, who were revealed outside of the Dojo anyway, before the Dojo made updates about them. There's no way they'd ever have been just silently included in the game, and then never promoted, only letting people learn about them after the game's release, dojo or no dojo.
Brawl's distribution of unlockables was pretty senseless though - "every returning character who was an unlockable in the past will be an unlockable again!" was pretty silly and lead to the underwhelming list of unlockables mostly filled with old characters. I can't think about many new standard characters that would have made satisfying unlockables, without hurting the game's marketing much though. Maybe King Dedede and Diddy? But I don't think those would have changed the overall impressions of Brawl's unlocks. Brawl really could have used some Melee-style clones (no new animations, just different stats, unlike Brawl's that were more elaborate with their own animations) just to spice up the list of unlockables.
Sorry to hear. Hope things will be alright.Just found out my grandad died and the funeral is three hours before the Direct.

Ugh, that's terrible :/
Condolences.
As long as you stay off your phone during the actual funeral service I don't think anyone could blame you for distracting yourself.

Starting to get hyped to see the next 3D Mario, the main galaxy theme popped up on random track play this morning might have had something to do with it
Next 3D Mario will be incredible but I thought of what Galaxy stage will be like on SSB4. With the right music... There's some serious potential right there.

*hugs* I'm so sorry for your loss.
Basic information, sure. However, the amount of information that was in the Dojo was ridiculous for a game before launch. It killed nearly every potential surprise

My condolences. I lost my nan just a couple of hours before a big Pokémon announcement last year so I know how you feel
Fighting on a mini-planet/platform with it's own gravity at the top and bottom while comets and stuff fly about? It's pretty nice to imagine, actually. :3

As in "Heathcliff"
I do. I think they should try to show some of the stages, assist trophies and pokeballs and all starter characters instead of covering everything.

While I agree, if there isn't a simultaneous worldwide release, the surprises will be spoiled anyway. Personally I want a more limited Dojo with info on some stages and items but no reveal of unlockable characters.

I don't see it. What were these surprises killed specifically by the Dojo? Do you really think people would care more about the new items if the dojo didn't have one page descritions for each of them? Or that music samples (which didn't even cover all remixes in the end) were a problem? Or maybe they shouldn't have revealed basic starting game modes?
The big secret character reveals, which was your initial complaint, didn't come from the Dojo. It had updates about them, but only after their reveal elsewhere (and only after the game's launch for the remaining characters - meanwhile everywhere else already had the full line up by the time the Dojo started revealing them due to the game being out). Even items had content that was considered "secret" and only revealed after the game's launch too, like Assist Trophies Isaac, Custom Robo and Shadow.
And now please imagine fighting ON BIONIS AND MECHONIS WHILE THEY'RE FIGHTING EACH OTHER!!!!!
why is there no gif of this part of the intro cutscene?
/dies.
Exactly my idea a few weeks ago. Got shutdown completely by someone else. I still think Miiverse dojo (exclusive reveal a few days before web-dojo while being locked from web-access) would be awesome!

The biggest character reveal of them all that legit shook you was from the dojo.
Come to think of it, a "Rainfall trilogy" rep would be pretty awesome, though I'd personally prefer someone from Xenoblade Chronicles.

Dojo was brilliant for hyping and information. I wouldn't mind Nintendo taking that route for the next Smash Bros.
And there were character reveals on the Dojo. Some reveals happened before they were posted on Dojo, but several characters were announced via the website, and yes that includes Sonic, which was the Dojo's biggest update (the one they announced after Brawl's release got the most hits that day and was the only update to crash Dojo's servers).

Unless you primarily play games by yourself, thats impossible. I cannot fathom those words you typed.
Lmao. This reminds me of when people were claiming they were seeing secret characters in the purple voids of one of the SSB Brawl screenshots.

I hope the 3DS version is different than the Wii U version of Smash Bros. I really like the idea of the 3DS version being a single player component, with the Wii U version being the multiplayer component. Although I understand why most wouldn't like that idea.
I'm positive 99% sure Sonic was unveiled at a Nintendo Japan fall event.
I want the 3DS version of Smash to be the equivalent of the PS3/360 to 3DS version of Super Street Fighter IV, meaning the exact same game, same gameplay, same everything but with obviously less impressive visuals.

Nintendo uploads the directs immediately to youtube anyway, so even if you have to join the fun a few hours late, the hype/rage train (depending on how the direct goes) will still be here for days, I'm sure.
Another random game popped into my head, didn't Straight Edge (or whoever did the ME 3/Deus Ex ports) say they had an original game in the works for the system?
Hmm anyone happen to have the reveal thread for this?

If you mean Sonic, no, it wasn't.

The Dojo did have an update featuring him shortly afterwards, but it didn't make the reveal. The reveal trailer even was uploaded to Gametrailers first.
Something needs to transport the bombs...
