Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Rie Sonomura]

So it was just announced that Bandai Namco only has one game for tomorrow...

Yeah, I think Nintendo's gonna win this E3.

Whoa what? When? Where?

 

[Schnee117]

Don't expect anything decent from Bamco

I'm unsure why no reveal is being entertained as a possibility. I could totally see it not being a double reveal, but come on now. It's an E3 direct and it's four months after the last reveal. The Sakurai Presents doesn't need to be right away, nor does it need to coincide with the initial reveal; it only rarely has.
To blue-ball it - let alone for only a week - is absolutely absurd. Why would they kneecap their E3 like that?

People like to be contrarian and pessimistic for whatever reason.

I understand the no double reveal stance, but the idea of Nintendo passing off what is essentially one of their few ways to generate any interest? No way.

Who the **** is this

Apparently a journalist. I just found the tweet on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours

Nintendo fans expecting the second coming of Christ when it's going to be a perfectly average direct for the most part.
Nothing new here.

That's really the common rule. Lower your expectations and expect the bare minimum.

Like for me, all I'm really expecting for big news is one Smash reveal and Breath of the Wild 2. And maybe Shin Megami Tensei 5. Anything extra that is big, I'll be like, "Hey, wasn't expecting that. Pretty cool."

Like it honestly helps to think of only what is likely certain and expect just that then to expect a whole lot that will more than likely not happen.

 

[Shroob]

So we have whats their name saying the Direct's a 9/10

And this person saying to temper your expectations



The duality of mankind.

9 dissapointements and an obligatory BotW 2 showcase that will probably be the saving grace of the Direct, i assume. Hence, the 9/10.

Yeah, if Ninty has no Smash reveal there, then they're just asking to get shot in the knees (okay, that last part is an exaggeration).

As somebody who's hopefuls are all "low expectation" picks (for some reason) I won't gloom about this.
That said, I have no idea who this person is. They shouldn't pretend to know things if all they have to say is something this vague.

Honestly, I don't think this means we won't be getting a good Direct, but rather we won't get literally everything everyone's been asking for all at once. I've legit seen people thinking we're gonna get a new Donkey Kong game, Kirby game, a formal reveal of Breath of the Wild 2 AND a bunch of Zelda ports all revealed at the same time. If history tells us anything, it's that we're likely to only get one of those things at most. I think that's what she's trying to say.

Nah, I think one's talking in general while the other's specifically talking to Nintendo fans.

 

[DanganZilla5]

Alanah Pearce is a writer. I don't know much about her but she works at Santa Monica Studios (Devs of God of War) and while she used to be a journalist she isn't anymore to my knowledge. That said, I'm not sure if she would have that kind of info unless she has friends in the Nintendo or E3 sphere who gave her some info privately.

 

[DarkFalcon]

You mean to tell me not to expect Metroid Prime 4, 2D Metroid, Prime Trilogy, Donkey Kong, Mario Odyssey 2, BoTW2, Zelda collection, double Smash reveal, AND Monolith's next game? SMH my head 4/10 direct Nintendo.

 

[Shroob]

So, theoretically, doesn't this mean that the news is out there now?


Brush ww@?

 

[Dixie Kong]

Just give me a DK game and a new fighter and I'll be very happy!

 

[SharkLord]

Alright, one last question before the reveal:

Assuming it's a dual reveal and Ultimate ends tomorrow, where do you see yourself? Are you still gonna stick around the other threads, or are you gonna leave entirely?

 

[Cosmic77]

The rumor mill has been throwing out Zelda and Metroid for a couple weeks now. That's literally all I need to be content.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I swear, someone says this every Direct.

 

[Shroob]

Alright, one last question before the reveal:

I'll probably stick around for as long as my friends on here do.

I don't know if somebody's posted this already, but this.
Nintendo would basically have to go into tomorrow trying to screw up to piss anybody off at this point. It's been nothing but some real fat Ls so far. They really don't need a hell of a lot to have this on lock.

 

[DarkFalcon]

The rumor mill has been throwing out Zelda and Metroid for a couple weeks now. That's literally all I need to be content.

Same. All I want is 2D Metroid. Deep in my heart I'd love even a CG Prime 4 trailer but I doubt I'm getting it. Would also love BoTW 2 gameplay which I think we might get whether it's in the direct or the Treehouse right after.

I only came back to this site because i wanted to witness the disscussion of Ultimate's last DLC. had i know how boring it would become, i would have bailed out instantly had not been for Coronavirus making my little social life even smaller (this is the only website i use that i can voice my opinions) so i think i may leave my account for good, at least i hope so.

I'll stick around to stan for Dixie in the next Smash!

Well, if one or both of them has no release date shown at the time, then I might stick around to discuss that. I'd also be discussing potential movesets, and stay in the Character Exploration thread a while longer to discuss characters I'm interested in.

Oh, I'm outta here. I like a lot of ya'll but not enough to endure much more of this. But I've been around on-and-off since base-game speculation, I'm locked in 'till it's done.

Depends on who the last two are

if for some reason a post dlc ballot is announced, I’ll campaign for my MWs at least

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Oh god the leaks are flooding in

 

[PSIGuy]

"Lower your expectations!"

Meanwhile Nintendo is literally sending out "Hype boxes"

Not sure who this is but it is good to have a good tampered expectation. It's one thing to have some expectations, it's another to think we'll a double reveal of Crash/Hayabusa/Waluigi/Sora/Master Chief/Doom Guy, a third fighters pass, BOTW 2 info, Metroid Prime 4 info, Bayonetta 3 info, some F-Zero/Star Fox revival, Persona 5 coming to Switch, and a Mother 3 localization all in one show.

There's some people who fully expect all this and are setting themselves up for disappointment. I am a bit tampered here.

 

[Schnee117]

"Huge" is relative to be honest.
Like, BotW2 would qualify for "huge" and I wouldn't be alone in that line of thought. I don't see them skipping BotW2 here, that'd be crazy.

So really it's probably just "No Prime 4 and Bayo 3 again" among other things.

 

[DanganZilla5]

Alright, one last question before the reveal:

See, I mostly visit Smashboards just for speculation and seeing what people are saying when it comes to predictions, keeping up with spirit events and developer interviews that could affect characters' chances. So with that said, I'm not sure how active I will be on here. I don't want to leave because there are a lot of good people on here but it will be difficult as people will naturally separate and at least temporarily leave the site.

Just saying, we should keep in contact. Maybe after the DLC is done with we should just chill in the main social thread. I really like some of the people on here and I think a lot of you are funny. Visiting this site has been a daily thing for me for the past two years and I don't want that to go away.

Probably nothing, but beware the ProfisiaGamings within the spoilers community.

Who do I believe? Are we getting nothing with a side of wasted time? Are we getting the long-awaited F-ZERO game that [REDACTED] and calls you handsome? 9/10? Lower your expectations? Hype boxes? What's goin' on!?

I think this will be a good direct overall

not perfect, but great for sure given all our opinions

I doubt I'd bother with this thread in particular much at all. All the hype is gone for the year, regardless of who it is. I can at most stick to the thread of the character, and it's not like anything'll happen for my actual most wanted, so.

Meh.

Not that this thread itself will be boring alone, but there's nothing of interest for me to discuss here with it being over.
