Ok.

 

[Fireblend]

Mind blown.

 

[Star Falcon]

Megaton.....

 

[celebi23]

No Mother 3?

 

[higemaru]

what.

not even mad. just, uh, didn't expect that.

and then a Smash Bros 4 broadcast in December. Damn solid direct.

 

[Black-Wind]

Aww, wish they hadn't said that bit about Dec.

I don't like long hype trains ...

 

[MrSaturn99]

I can't

U fucking can't

NunMinds BLOWN

 

[FunkyDealer]

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!

Sakurai is the biggest troll, my god! You want Final Fantasy in Smash? How about the one that got moved to PlayStation?

 

[Pancake Mix]

The youtuber reaction is horrible but HOLY SHIT CLOUD!!!!

CLOUUUUDDD

 

[Judge Magister Zexion]

Their reaction to the announcements today:

"Who the fuck added cloud to smash?"

 

[Bakkus]

A stage that could be tournament legal...banned because stupid stage hazards....yet again.

 

[prateeko]

I DIDNT SEE ANY OF THIS COMING

 

[105.Will]

Smash is the most video game ass video game ever

 

[MandrakeUK]

So basically, NX version of FF7 confirmed?

Thats what I thought lol.

 

[iFirez]

Just think.... we'll be getting a Cloud Amiibo down the line - holy fuck!

 

[KenjiGlove]

No fucking way

Hype!

 

[NahaNago]

oh wow that cloud was shocking and amazing

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Nice surprise at the end but the rest was underwhelming. Ah well, good to see the directs back anyway.

 

[AdanVC]

See how good it feels when there's no leaked characters in Smash before the official announcement??? Man, Cloud!!!! This is really nice because FF7 is the only FF game I have ever played so this is cool! haha

 

[weevles]

Holy fn Shit.

 

[Not]

Lol we finally got surprised by a Smash Bros character. Feels good man.

TEASE FOR NEXT DIRECT AT THE END. THAT'S HOW YOU KEEP HYPE GOIN NINTENDO

 

[Wagram]

Well that's one way to get me to open my copy of Smash.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Ok. Cloud makes no sense what so ever, but yay I guess? I'm having trouble getting my head around the why of it though certainly.

They're going to announce Crash Bandicoot in December now aren't they?

 

[Linkyn]

So... that was pretty awesome.

Plus, more Smash news next month.

 

[NotLiquid]

Let this sink in for a moment

Nintendo had an easier time getting Cloud Strife in Smash Bros than Sony did for Playstation All-Stars

 

[Tomohawk]

Literally nothing for me.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Guys did this just really happen?

did I just see FUCKING CLOUD STRIFE IN MY SMASH?!

WHAT A DAY TO BE NOT SLEEPING!

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

CLOUD AMIIBO YOU GUYS!!!

 

[d34thfrom4bov3]

Well that was disappointing. Definitely don't care much for Cloud, I'd rather have somebody cool like Isaac from Golden Sun or something more interesting to me. Oh well, neat regardless I guess for people who wanted it.

 

[wildfire]

All we need now is Goku and Tom Hanks and SSB will have become MUGEN.

Did people really suggest Tom Hanks in that online poll Nintendo organized?

 

[Wedge7]

OMG

 

[Tizoc]

The ultimate
Betraylathon
You'd think we'd get an FF6 rep, but nope
Get Cloud

Friggin' amazing

 

[Loxley]

Mario, Cloud, Ryu, Mega Man and Sonic are now all in the same damn game.

Go back in time and tell your nine year-old self that.

 

[Peléo]

Really disappointed with Cloud in Smash. Was hoping for other Nintendo characters.

 

[massoluk]

I can't believe it. Nintendo get Cloud before Sony get him for its Smash clone.

 

[Numb]

Good job saving Cloud for last.

 

[213372bu]

Spongebob and Goku hype

 

[Meier]

I don't play Smash so I won't ever play as him, but that was pretty awesome. The Midgar stage looked fantastic too.

 

[antennaehead]

No Yo-Kai Watch EU release date update. Why, Nintendo

 

[OnionPowder]

Fuck you Nintendo of America

Where the FUCK is Mother 3

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm satisfied.

 

[Azure Dream]

Mega Man Legacy Collection box art is pretty nice, at least.

 

[Scipio]

This opens the way for the most batshit insane characters.

 

[ngower]

Mildly disappointing Direct. I've never played a Dragon's Quest, so I'm neither here nor there on that announcement. Fire Emblem I'll pick up and the Pokemon VC was a pleasant surprise. The bastardization of Animal Crossing still pains me and I don't own Smash anymore so Cloud is also something that I just don't care for.

I wasn't expecting any huge announcements so this is pretty much par for the course expectations-wise, but still felt like nothing significant was really dropped. I do have higher hopes for a Mother 3 localization, though. I know Earthbound sold incredibly well on the NA eShop and I'm sure Mother 3 will pretty much pay for itself if they decide to localize it.

 

[chronic_archaic]

Where'd Minecraft go?

 

[JDSN]

This was a boring, which is even worse than being shitty.

 

[Arttemis]

So where is the list of things announced?

Amiibos
Twilight Princess HD
Cloud in SSB
Linkle

What else?

 

[Stabby McSter]

FINAL FANTASY VII FINALLY COMING TO A NINTENDO PLATFORM

IN THE FORM OF A SMASH CHARACTER

rofls

 

[Faustek]

LOL I remember when I used to have Cloud as a troll suggestion...this is fucking awesome!

Well I voted for him without trolling

 

[XAMOEL_ART]

Ryu...Cloud..
damn i dunno what to expect on the future.
Even CRASH BANDICOOT have chances.
