Not like they're gonna reveal the final character in the direct anyways lmao
Time to wait another week (and suffer through the Sony takeover thursday onwards)

Ah! A riddle to solve!

This is expedition Everest from disney world right? Disney world has Thunder Mountain! Yesterday I posted a video about some guys playing Smash Bros in a thunder storm.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Our next character has to be a character that uses Lightning!

And they made a KO when lightning struck! This must mean that Challenger Pack 11 will reveal themselves when someone plays Smash Bros on thunder mountain during a thunder storm! It all makes sense now!

The Direct (or Smash presentation) must come out within about 3 and half months from now so there's not many "next week"s left, luckily.

Now I think there's a higher chance that what happened was that (ofc besides the possibility that next week is Nintendo's original plan anyhow), Nintendo wanted to do a direct this week, but after seeing the upcoming PS Showcase get announced, they could've said "Darn, they claimed this week for them WAY before we could, guess we'll have to push back our direct by a week, especially since we definitely have fans who'd want to watch both events and we don't want to cause overlap issues despite us and Sony having mainly different audience demographics"

I'm adamant they're waiting til Warioware drops.

Looking at some of the prior non-e3 directs, they drop almost immediately after a notable release of theirs. The direct mini last year happened the week after New Horizons dropped, and the February direct earlier this year happened the week after 3D World+Bowser's Fury.

It seems they wanna have their big game of the month release first before bringing people's attention to a direct.

I'm not sure if Wario Ware is considered a notable release enough... if that's true they're likely waiting for Metroid Dread instead, which means second/third week of october most likely. I can't imagine people waiting for another full month and keep their sanity intact though.

They might also want to keep the marketing/promotional push on Warioware for another week as well.

That's fair but I'd expect a Direct on the launch week as a last minute reminder, they did the same with Sanus Returns and hyped it up by saying Smash fans should check it out, with it being a literal day before release iirc

What if there is no smash reveal in the september direct
Sakurai did tell us that it will be a while before the next fighter is revealed

There's plenty of debate about what will happen. No one knows for sure and we're all impatient.

I'm expecting the reveal in its own presentation like Byleth though.

Off-topic but does anyone know when Altus is going to announce the first Persona 25th anniversary announcement this month?
Click to expand...
No one knows. Some people suggested it might be announced at the PS Showcase, which I doubt unless the very first Persona announcement is Persona 6, which I also doubt it's going to be the first one.
Another possibility would be during the Tokyo Game Show. But I feel like they're going to drop the announcement anytime unless it's something like P6 or a remake of P1/P2/P3.
