PapaGenos video regarding the ARMS fighter and that Spring Man and Ribbon Girl's names were heard alongside MinMin has made one thing evident to me: these multiple name rumors also occurred with the SNK rep and they turned out to be stage cameos and spirits.

Was Terry the most mentioned in the rumor? I mean, the only two that are on the top of my head right now that could have been mentioned a lot are him and Nakoruru. I'm asking because maybe it can help to know who is actually in based on how many times they are mentioned.

There were multiple rumors besides Terry mentioned, Kyo most prominently along with Nakoruru and Haohmaru. I can't rembember how much Iori was mentioned

Was Mai mentioned? Cause that would be hilarious in hindsight (you know, good boys and girls 'n all that)

I don't know if any of that would have any correlation with "Spring Man with alts on the 16th" guy, but it's something.

Speaking of which, only one week left before the killswitch date.

Japan typically announces things before 9am their time so all the workers can catch it but if you're in the UK like I am, may be best to just go to bed when that happens.

PapaGenos only claimed that these names were heard by reputable insiders and this is the same guy who had to claim an extremely toxic and salty byleth reaction was fake for damage control because he thought he'd fake a reaction just because people constantly faking leaks, instead of, y'know maybe actually taking a leak? That and you can almost tell that either the source is faking the leak or the leaker as Byleths name never leaked. In fact no character from Three Houses leaked so why would the ARMS character all of a sudden when first party character names have never been heard thus far

I'm still confident Springo is the rep though. I know Min Min is the popular one but if in series popularity meant much, we would have dozens of other Pokemon and Lyn from FE would also be playable. I guess with Pokemon it's kinda different but I doubt they'd go for the fan favourite as the first character to represent a new series. Although the mascot could change, I'm sticking to what we know and saying Springo is the mascot and probably the ARMS rep

Do you guys think they could just upload the video revealing the arms fighter without announcing it in advance, like what they did with joker

It’s possible they could do this.

Only issue I see is the thumbnail would spoil who it is immediately.

Yep they could. They did that with the Mini Direct so at this point it's 50:50 whether it's livestreamed or shadow dropped with an extra .51% going into shadow drop imo

Tbf the Byleth showcase before it was announced had everything blurred was so they could do that. Unless the fingers counted and the people who thought they were hints for DMC3 was announced even though it was actually 17 in binary. Or the artifacting. But why would you look at the artifacting on a video revealing what you are trying to find

The most that we got today is Smash Bros' Japanese Twitter announcing that Lotus and the Cuphead bros. are now available in the spirit boards and shop.

It’s possible they could do this.

Except that nothing prevents them from simply plastering Sakurai in front of the ARMS logo. It's not hard to still make it surprising with enough of an advance warning, too. Just make sure not to miss the initial stream, like I did for :ultbyleth:, though in this period of unemployment, that shouldn't be difficult anyways.

I stay up late too, so I might be curious, depending on what it is :p

Is it just me, or does it feel like Nintendo's gone completely radio silent? Aside from Paper Mario, they haven't really said much of anything so far. By comparison, Sony and Microsoft have been talking about THEIR plans for a good while now. Granted, this could have something to do with... everything going on, but I'm starting to get concerned again.

I think they got super-secret plans, since they dropped the Direct format for this month this year. We'll just have to wait until the end of the month if we have to.

Maybe the lockdown just hit them hard and we won't be able to get anything until it stops?

ARMS character - coming whenever a vaccine is made, so most likely early 2021

:p

Let's not joke about this, silence doesn't always equal no activity, given how notoriously secretive Ninty's always been. Hell, we just had a Destiny 2 announcement today.

Besides, Sak's crew had measures set up. Let's simply be patient.

I'd rather go to bed, honestly. Makes time go quicker.

I agree that the radio silence is poor form. Did Nintendo even clarify what their plans would be for E3 week after E3 was cancelled? Come to think of it it feels like everything we know about (no directs, etc.) has come from other people reporting about Nintendo and not themselves.

With the Arms character I can easily chalk it up to June being literally any day in June, even 29/30. But it rings weird to me that where most companies immediately aimed to remedy the loss of the E3 platform Nintendo seems to still fail at even being open on what is happening.

It's also particularly alarming when their latest big titles we knew about, Xenoblade DE and Clubhouse games, are both out. I hope they're not expecting people to sit tight with just DLC and Paper Mario for the rest of the summer... It would be uncharacteristic of them to have nothing to keep the Switch hype going past July.

Yet announced plans getting delayed is much worse, since it's a headache for both the fans and the advertisers.

I'd rather be pleasantly be surprised by news coming out of nowhere, than seeing advertised, scheduled news get yanked away from my feet shortly before they were supposed to happen.

Besides, we're still in June, the rough release window for the ARMS fighter.

I'm confused. Are people speculating the actual reveal to be in five hours, or are people expecting an announcement of the reveal?

Why today exactly?
Second week of a month is usually good for announcements and today in an alternate timeline where China has it's crap together, it's day 1 of E3.

A lot of people around Discord seem to speculate on a reveal of a presentation tonight.

And while I don't fully discard It, I prefer to just imagine the presentation coming any day this week rather than specifically tonight.
By expecting ourselves to get anything tonight we are potentially risking unwanted dissapointment, so It is better to have safer expectations.

I do see the announcement more likely to happen in Tuesday or Wednesday.
