Anyway obligatory gif

 

[MasterOfKnees]

While we're obviously going to get a newcomer and such, I'm super hyped for the inevitable amount of gameplay we're going to get. Best case scenario we're going to get a full match.

I JUST NOTICED IT'S A SMASH CENTERED DIRECT

Spoiler

Also episode 3 of The Wolf Among Us comes out the 8th too if anyone cares. My hype has reached intolerable levels.

 

[N3ON]

Hopefully this means the release date is a little closer than we suspected.

Full match, newcomer, release date, another newcomer... Dude, the sky's the ****in' limit when it comes to this thing.

 

[BeatNinja]

We've waited for this day people. This explains the draught, my God does it explain the draught.

Ah, thank you for adding that. I can't believe I forgot. And thank you for stickying it as well.

 

[DMurr]

Holy crap. I'm so excited haha.

10 bucks says they reveal one newcomer and spend the rest of the video talking about the changes to previously announced veterans.

...which would still be awesome, btw.

 

[N3ON]

There is absolutely nothing that will stop me from watching this Direct right when it airs. Been waiting for something like this since Directs began.

I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED IT.
I. CALLLED. IT.

 

[thedoctr11]

the last Game specific direct besides wii fit u was The Wonderful 101 Direct in August. The game then released a month later in NA. #hype

 

[Hinata]

Updated the title to reflect the US date of this direct.

 

[Sonicthesneak]

We can get so much...

But will we get so little? Please give us some juicy bits. They've gassed up the Hype Train... now don't stop us at Disappointment Central Station.

Possibilities are endless.... but the results will be finite. Everyone... pray for good news. Not some release of silly news and info... (like the last direct before Pokemon X & Y where nothing of importance was said.)

 

[FlynnCL]

An entire Nintendo Direct focused exclusively on Smash Bros 4? I'm really excited.

 

[ZeldaMaster]

Chrom? Palutena? Isaac? Takamaru? Four most likely newcomers to be shown, who DO YOU PREFER?

 

[thedoctr11]

the sakurai tweet: https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai
its in japanese

google translate:
"And say Nintendo Direct, announced suddenly, airing it, but is often suddenly. This time, I tried to have a little room.
The "Smash Bros." official Twitter also (@ SmashBrosJP), people of launch! Medium from today It is not me, but thank you also here."

 

[Tornado_Man]

I don't know what we could possibly see in this direct character-wise... but if I had to take a guess, I'd say it'll be "SHOWTIME"

Or 6pm EST since that's listed too.

[Hinata]

Well, guys, there's a button for the direct plastered on the Smash website now. Obviously, this is a given, but it just raises the hype for me.

 

[Chiroz]

HOLY **** A DIRECT OF ONLY SMASH? HOLY ****!

 

[BeatNinja]

We're guaranteed to get a newcomer, but it's possible that we'll get even more. I literally can't contain myself. Call help.

 

[Mode]

Woooo I'm hyped!

 

[SmashShadow]

What is this Miiverse pic you guys speak of?

*Hype redirected*

 

[N3ON]

I'm psyched we'll actually be seeing some gameplay that's not just quick cuts like in the newcomer trailers. At least I assume we will.

They're going to have to fill the time some how.

 

[Chiroz]

Probably going to get a trailer, and a newcomer, and gameplay video, and Yoshi, and some other veterans and.. and... and...

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

So, I'm going to be in class during this direct... and I won't be home until a few hours later. I'm probably the only American who is going to say this, but I really wish they'd done this direct in Japan time so I could just watch in the middle of the night.

Either way, I think the release date is the main thing we're likely to get here. We have a lot of organizing to do to make the game launch go smoothly and benefit the community to the maximum extent, and we can start on that as soon as we have a date. Expect to hear an awful lot from me on Wednesday.

 

[Stenton]

Maybe we will receive a release date!
