Huh, that's something to think about.
3-6 hours from now.
You know, I'd have to agree on that.
There's clearly one character everyone's overlooking.
Someone who made a big stake being the #5 most requested newcomer in Melee but was put off in that game and didn't have a proper major appearance recently when Brawl was being chosen... but now?
Oh, I would love to see Ganon as a character. If I can't get a Ganondorf with a faithful moveset then I'll take Ganon in a heartbeat. Heck I'd take Ganon regardless!
I can't remember if it was Octogirl or Nikki, but basically they said that soon will be a pretty big Splatoon update (not quite august update big, but on par of the Inkbrush introduction one) which has something to do with Octolings.
So to summarize what could be in this direct:
Add in your god damn "nindies" and ya got a direct.
...wait, what?
The drought is getting ridiculous, along with the fact nintendo is still forgetting that they even created the ballot in the first place. Really right now, the only smash game keeping my attention is Project M since I can add a ton of mods.
...Is this what leaks have came to?...
You and me both pal. Hopefully it's the Gamecube version but perhaps they'll give the player a choice of what control scheme they want.
I think what I listed would be a good amount to talk about. Zelda remake on Wii U, New Pokemon game, Smash character, Splatoon DLC, Xenoblade, Mario Tennis and Pokemon GO (I'd love just to hear a slight bit of news on Zelda U ;__; ). That is plenty of stuff to talk about.
The problem with this logic is that a lot of Directs have happened on both Thursday and Friday as well.
There's several games they have to talk about. Zelda U will be getting some new info soon, there's the half-announced Pikmin 4, Retro and Next Level Games' unannounced projects, Nintendo's unannounced Mobile game they said they're going to be revealing soon, etc. Not all of these would get announce, of course. Probably at least one would, though.
You're totally right.
Not to mention Pig Ganon can take aspects of Beast Ganon and even Ganondorf that weren't used and apply it to his arsenal of offensive and defensive arsenal and tactics.
Mother of God...

Pig Ganon would also be an interesting character to pair with or against K. Rool in a Smash Bros battle. Certainly he'd be larger than K. Rool and likely heavier, so the dynamic of how they interact would automatically be fascinating. I mean, who doesn't love a HOSS MATCH!?!?!?
And this my fellow Kutthrow Kutouts is why I just wanna face off against Bowser, DK, Ike, Ganondorf, King Dedede, and/or Charizard, against K. Rool in Smash. Also, K. Rool vs. Ryu would be dope too. Back in 1995 DKC1 and 2 and Street Fighter II were MY GAMES. Funny how they're connected all these later in a series that wasn't even in pre-pre-pre-production back then.
Mother of God...
...if that ever happens, I am spamming this gif until I get banned from the internet.
We could also get some Pikmin 4 info as well.
That's why I wanted to post this correction, I posted it in the main thread as well.
I think its very likely that they might try and announce another new unannounced game as well. Retro's project was ready to announce at E3. If they want something to really hype it up they could announce that.
HERE WE GO GUYS
Perhaps that's why the Kremlings are loyal to K.Rool, he's protected them since infancy
That is true. All I'm saying is that there's plenty of things to talk about.
I fixed that for you.Paul Heyman is the master of everythingreactions
Yeah that for sure would happen. No way Nintendo holds that one off.
1. Why does it feel like Nintendo is holding onto 3 or 4 NX titles they don't want to talk about. I'm definitely feeling a new 3D Mario title.
I mean no offense when I say this but DK64 was a hell pit of a collectothon due to the raw amount of collectables, abundance of event triggers that make no sense (shooting a switch with Diddy opens up a cage that has a Tiny-exclusive mini game and also Chunky's Blue Print for the level or something similar on the far side of the map) and, admittedly, awkward controls to B-K and even Conker.
With the disclaimer that I just don't get on with 3D platformers at all (the list of ones I've wasted time and money on reads like a who's who from other people's "Best Games Ever" lists), I've got to agree with this. If that's where K. Rool returned, I'd be glad to hear about it, but I certainly wouldn't be buying it.
I agree with this logic. I'd rather have a proper 3D DK game, and frankly, I can't see Retro producing a DKCR3 for three years anyway. If they're doing DK, I definitely think its a 3D DK game.
A late Direct this year would start talking about 2016 games for sure. It'd have to. I do think they're saving a few titles for NX, but the thing is, I can't see the NX launching next year. Next year's fall lineup will probably only have a few games, but they'd be bigger games they weren't ready to show off yet. And next year would be the last year for Wii U, of course.I fixed that for you.

1. Why does it feel like Nintendo is holding onto 3 or 4 NX titles they don't want to talk about. I'm definitely feeling a new 3D Mario title.
2. When are we gonna see some extensive and expansive footage of games coming out next year? Seriously, the whole E3 campaign for Nintendo was "2015, 2015, 2015" but everything got delayed to "2016, 2016, TBD."
I don't want a straight DK64 followup, I want a proper DK 3D title that does things right. Retro has done two amazing DKC sidescrollers now, I want them to actually surpass Rare and do an amazing 3D DK game, and I fully believe they can do it. (And frankly I don't believe they're working on a 2D DKC right now, anyway, because DKC sidescroller games don't take three years. And we know they aren't doing Metroid.)
I fully expect DKCR3, but I also think they'll do a 3D DK as well. And if they're doing anything DK related right now, I think its a 3D DK. (They could potentially be doing both, though, if they want DKCR3 to launch on NX or be within the launch window).
I can see the NX launching next year because some of the Nintendo stockholders are crazy. Trust me, I've gone through their financial reports. Stockholders thinking they understand specific markets without any research or understanding of the basic micro or maco economies of a market they are dealing with pains me.
Whatever they're doing, it's big. I just hope they don't rush it and don't make another boring game. The sparks of Mario Maker and Splatoon are nice, yes, but Nintendo needs something more... captivating to mainstream audiences. I played the Rainbow Six: Siege beta recently (it was fantastic; in the few hours I played this game, I gave it nothing but positive marks, and I'm not a big shooter guy past Valve games), and that sort of slow paced, precise shooter/strategy hybrid style in an FPS style really got me thinking about where mainstream and big money console/PC gaming is going.
I don't see the point of RPG statistics in 3D DK. I could maybe see that in Zelda U, and have them add party members to Zelda U who can join you. But not 3D DK.
Who said they couldn't remedy any flaws in DK64 while making a follow up?
