I'm inclined to think that Monster Hunter stage is exclusive to the Rathalos battle. Then again, it's possible there's a stage as well...but why show the boss arena first in that case?
I see many people suggesting that wording is definitive, and even Source Gaming is on that train of thought--I don't buy it, and I don't think it's my bias showing. With four months to release and at least one direct focusing on Smash, I don't think they would deconfirm so many potential characters that early, or likewise, wouldn't introduce a big new character from a new IP without a stage.
Me and my coworkers have the release night planned. We'll probably play until dawn unlocking who we can while also having a good old fashioned smash fest. I'm hoping I can at least unlock Cloud K. Rool and hopefully Banjo in one night.
The good thing is it releases on a Friday so that's a whole weekend to just Smash away!
Planning on having a Smash related long weekend with my mates. Assuming Banjo and Kazooie make it onto the base roster, no sleep for anyone till they're unlocked.
Enchiladas, beer and smash. Going to be an amazing weekend! Banjo being in would just make it that much sweeter.
I'm with you on this one. An interesting thing to keep in mind that I just thought of: the "stages" tab on the home page of the site has been shown to be able to include a "NEW!" highlight, such as you would use for updates, like with the character and item tabs. BUT. The stages tab was not available until after the last direct.
Switch Isaac and Skull Kid's orders, and you have my exact prediction.
The very first thing I want to do is play an 8 way Smash battle with the original 8 characters.
No worries, these ideas pop into my head as well, and it's fun--so I kept the longer version of my post in quotes. The summary, though, is I agree with that general format, despite only have one or two samples to establish a pattern. My predictions areI'm with you on this one.

Now, tell me: why would they bother to design that aspect of the site if there weren't ever going to be any more stages?
Just some food for thought.

Another thing I just thought of...all this talk of unlocking the characters with friends on release day has me wondering if the "Spirits" mode is really a single-player experience. The starting roster is so small, and a lot of people will probably want to jump right into some free-for-all Smash matches with friends for just such a release party type of event--are they expecting everyone to wait for one person to unlock everyone else's mains and the cool new characters? It just seems counterintuitive to multiplayer to have Spirits be the fastest way to unlock the whole roster.
Unless...Spirits IS multiplayer.
I don't know what it could possibly entail, but this seems like the only fix. I'm interested to see how this is handled...
Anyway, that is totally not about Banjo-Kazooie, lol. Sorry for derailing. These ideas just popped up.
I have two words to counter that belief: Crash. Bandicoot. Now that we have Crash's N. Sane Trilogy on the Switch, that just screams to me that Nintendo wouldn't be bothered by Banjo and Kazooie by this point. After all, Crash is now playable on a Nintendo console while also not being owned by Nintendo themselves. Seems to me Nintendo has stopped caring about former or current rivalries with other companies at the moment.
I can't believe I never bothered to think of this before. Hmm... I rather like how "Banjo-Kazooie" rolls off the tongue for me, instead of "Banjo and Kazooie." That said though, I think both would be appropriate, so I'm not all too picky. Just please don't limit them to simply Banjo. As someone once said earlier, that's a disservice to our favorite sassy breegull.
That's a great prediction! I was wondering how we might get all the info, considering we'll probably only get one more dedicated Smash direct (two seems unlikely.) I'm not sure how the Japanese only one would work, but worst case, they'll just pull a Robin for us and do a trailer event.
I don't think it would make much sense for Isaac to be revealed in a Japanese centric direct, since most of his popularity comes from the west.
I had a dream before the E3 reveal where the first thing I did was playing break the targers with Captain Falcon and I intend on doing just that. However, if we begin with the original 8, then I would begin by playing Classic mode with Samus. She was the first player I ever used back in Smash 64 days and who knows maybe I unlock Dark Samus or Ridley like this.
I think it would be way more hype if they reveal Geno first in the last smash direct, that way you know something really BIG is coming at the end, and if Geno was already revealed then Banjo Kazooie's chances will skyrocket!
Your suggestion is far more original than anything I was able to come up with! The only idea that came to mind for me was having the duo appear on stage via one of Jamjars' silos from Banjo-Tooie.
I like the way you think !!!
