Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[WeirdChillFever]

How will this banner look like in less than 24 hours? Place your bets.

 

[Shroob]

So, unless I've missed it, when/if do you think Sakurai will retweet the Direct?


If he does, imo, that means a solo character is basically confirmed, since the tweet will go something like "Turn into the Nintendo Direct for information on the next Super Smash Bros character" or something.


If he doesn't retweet it, then that's interesting.

Who will Daisy be slamming her butt against? It's gotta be somebody!

So after all the hit and miss presentations, we have Capcom reminding you of titles already announced and five minutes on e-sports.

At this point I'm fairly certain Nintendo could at least tie Microsoft for winning E3 with the announcement of an new Pushmo game, the competition is so pitiful this year.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Honestly this is my view on the matter

Ugh, tell me about it; they didn't even announce any SF5 DLC.

It's like I had said yesterday: The only way Nintendo could botch this is if they just dragged out Shuntaro Furukawa, had him smile, pee into a bag, bow Japanese style, and then leave... and at least THAT would be funny if nothing else

 

[Deleted member]

Capcom had nothing to show but decided to drag things out for 30 minutes. Square’s was better by a country mile and that was hot garbage.

 

[Technomage]

Hopefully someone hot, like Kitana (since she also has an "Ass Kicks You" move) (yeah, I know that's not gonna happen).

 

[7NATOR]

Wait I'm so confused. What is this "Plumbers don't wear Ties" game? Is it legendary?

I mean if this is how we get Dead or Alive characters in Smash, then so be it hahahahaha

Watch the Angry Video Game Nerd's episode on it. That's all you need to do. In fact, you must.

Watch his episode on Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout and his other episode on Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage after that too, those are too good to miss

Don't underestimate Halo Infinity and Age of Empires 4 presentation, they are getting some likes and attention. Granted both were already announced previously.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot DOA chicks have bum rushes in the Volleyball games.

 

[Shroob]

It's an early "adult" visual novel from a dead console.


There's no outright nudity iirc, but it's a game that's very "What the **** were they thinking". There's lots of bizarre ****, like random pictures of panda bears in go-karts popping up, the narrator donning a chicken suit and fighting another narrator, and the infamous line "TAKE YER DAMN CLOTHES OFF!"

 

[Strong-Arm]

i hope we get both chars announced tomorrow so speculation can finally end tbh

 

[Schnee117]

Capcom told people precisely what to expect well in advance and they delivered on it.
If you expected Mega Man or whatever then that's on you.

That said the SFV bit at the end isn't gonna win people over to the pro scene lol

 

[chocolatejr9]

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is a game that is notorious for being one of, if not THE worst video games of ALL TIME.

It's getting a rerelease for literally no reason.

 

[Technomage]

Don't we all (well, most of us, at least).

 

[Icedragonadam]

Honestly, I hope this is the last E3, it's clear how irrelevant it has gotten.

Well, if Smash only has a single reveal or no reveal at all, your comment would explain it.

Nintendo would easily win for me with only Smash, which is guaranteed, SMT V, which is also guaranteded, BotW2, which is almost a lock, and something Metroid, which seems to be possible.
Then if they throw in one from Donkey Kong/Fire Emblem/Monolith Soft new game/F-Zero/Kid Icarus it would be like 10/10 presentation considering the average level of this year.

Microsoft's conference was good as always, with a good pace unlike other presentations of this E3, but personally it was like a 6-7 because of the content, I wasn't interested in most of the stuff they had, and the only thing I care about Bethesda is Doom so Starfield does nothing for me.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

Wait I'm so confused. What is this "Plumbers don't wear Ties" game? Is it legendary?

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties can best be described as an infamous 90s attempt at a visual novel that is also one of the worst examples of it. Intended to be a semi-erotic FMV game for eventual flop that was the 3DO, the creators chickened out about the content getting the game an Adult Only rating and instead made it a slideshow instead of video. Even with that though, the acting, story, and overall attempt at being a multi-choice romantic comedy game ends up succeeding at being none of them. It contains arguably the most obnoxious attempts at random humor seen in any media, making even the hackiest wacky YouTuber seem positively restrained by comparison.

The AVGN did a review about it years ago (giving it the most publicity it ever had) and quite accurately said if it can be considered a game, its one of the worst ever made.

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

It's kind of an odd thing in a world where Nintendo Directs and State of Plays can be held at any time in the year and multiple times a year. Sometimes you don't even need that, random Twitter drops and such exist too. E3 is just the grandpa that you keep inviting to the party out of respect more than anything.

• Announce DLC for the third worst RE game, no trailer or gameplay
• Show a bunch on Monster Hunter trailers we've already seen
• Spends 10-15 minutes on Lawyer Simulator
• ESPORTS
• Ends show, nothing new announced

Makin' Nintendo's job real easy here.

Capcom told people precisely what to expect well in advance and they delivered on it.
If you expected Mega Man or whatever then that's on you.

So it's our fault for expecting literally anything new be shown at a goddamned video game livestream?

It's your fault for expecting something that wasn't promised, yes.

A game rated 17+ that you need to be at least 18+ to make a choice that actually lets you progress through the story.

When they say "We're showing you these 4 titles", yes.


If someone tells you "We're going to show you 4 things", why would you expect a 5th when they outright told you 4?

 

[Eldrake]

When E3 2021 is so bad that Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is the most exciting news in the week and it makes E3 2020 look good.

You should have seen the Monster Hunter discord channel. Lol they were having a fit cuz they all hype themselves up thinking we were getting new monsters when they put out the roadmap as collaborations that are happening down the line with no new monsters listed. Its it's hilarious

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

I... don't know how to feel...

Well with Horny Theory in play we all know who’s going to be the next Smash fighter.

 

[MisterMike]

So it's wrong to have higher expectations than literally nothing?

"One More Thing" culture has warped people's perceptions on this stuff tbh

 

[Strong-Arm]

Its gonna be hilarious if Axel Stone gets added cause I can already see the smash community calling him "hobo ken" or "bandana terry" even though hes from a completely different game genre

 

[papagenos]

So now that we know our next Smash rep is from "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties", who are we getting? I'm on team John's Mom.

I'm placing my bets on Tie-Wearing Mario as an echo of regular Mario; he'd have a tether grab and tether recovery that both use his tie as the tether.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

I think one can say that Capcom was not being deceptive in the marketing for the presentation AND that they were also shrewdly counting on people expecting significant news in order to get decent numbers for what was advertisement for already announced titles.

They weren't being false, but there certainly being deliberate.

 

[Ivander]

I'm still curious on what that one guy saw that made the Direct get a much higher rating in his opinion. Won't know until tomorrow, but still, wonder what was there that really got the guy's attention.

 

[Shroob]

So it's wrong to have higher expectations than literally nothing?

Again, if we didn't know what we were getting, sure, I'd understand that.


They literally lined up what they'd show us. Expecting anything else when they told us "We're showing these 4 things" was setting yourself up for disappointment.

 

[7NATOR]

I think Xbox/Bethesda did good, or at least okay this year, and there were some interesting announcements and memes that caused Chaos, but honestly it seems E3 this year is super lacking. Summer Game Fest had a more notable showing and that was supposed to be an appetizer, though I think that was mainly because of Elden Ring though

I think Covid really hit the gaming industry very hard, perhaps more than some people might expect but it is what it is.

Nintendo should get an Easy W this year.

 

[SNEKeater]

So it's wrong to have higher expectations than literally nothing?

I mean Capcom's showcase was bad, no one is saying the opposite. Ending with the eSports section was a bad idea, at least close your show with one of your games lol.
But they warned us. And I was warning you all since yesterday because I know people doesn't pay that much attention to official announcements. Folks read "Nintendo E3 Direct June 15" and they just skip all the other info they provide us.

The only new thing from Capcom today was DLC for RE8. And well, the updates for Monster Hunter. But the lineup we got today was basically what they promised us when they announced this thing. They never said "we'll have some surprises" or anything like that so there wasn't room for interpretation.

I myself think they could have just skipped E3 and promote their games through tweets or Microsoft/Nintendo events. But it's not like they lied to us lol
