Official E3 2021 Discussion Thread

[Garteam]

I'll write up my dedicated thoughts later, but I have to say it was bold of Sakurai to make Master Chief fight shirtless and without his weapons.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Really good presentation. I'd give it a solid B Plus.

 

[zumaddy]

That was a real solid direct. Advance Wars, a better Mario Party Top 100, Metroid Dread, Warioware, BOTW 2 glimpse (it looks cool as heck!) and a Tekken rep. Awesome!

 

[Knight Dude]

Kazuya and Metroid. Now I'm pretty damn happy.

 

[Momotsuki]

That was ****ing awesome. Tekken is based, Kazuya is based, we got some actual news on BotW 2, a new WarioWare game, just - holy ****. I am absolutely flabbergasted. I wasn't thinking about Kazuya but - damn. With Heihachi having been out of the cards, he's a perfect pick. Definitely a solid 9/10. Never tell me to lower my (already low) expectations again.

 

[Mamboo07]

HAHA YES, PLAYABLE GUARDIAN IN WARRIORS!

First, Plant in Smash and now this.

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE. Smash Bros reveal made me think of Tekken the Motion Picture hahahahaha I kinda love it low-key even if I did NOT expect it

Wario is great, as always, and METROID DREAD coming straight out of nowhere back from the dead is BEAUTIFUL!

 

[Shroob]

Agreed. It seems like they didn't even have much of Kayuza to show off as well.

I mean, they have 13 days until the presentation. Kazuya is 100% done by now lol

 

[DittoInDisguise]

I think the next reveal just wasn't ready.

yep, Sakurai talked about recording the next presents in the direct.

 

[Z25]

I think the next reveal just wasn't ready.

Its possible, but the team was ahead of a schedule( we saw no COVID delays in the pass's releases), so I'm sure that last fighter has a good amount of work done by now.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

You know, we need to wait over a month until Kazuya and need to keep speculating for a dew more months. But, Kazuya looks sick, and there’s finally a new Metroid!

This truly is the greatest timeline.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Oh what a glorious day it is!

Thank you Mr Sakurai

 

[Flyboy]

TEKKEN FANS HOW THE **** DID WE WIN I'M SO HAPPY AND SO CONFUSED

 

[Megadoomer]

I thought the presentation was all right - it really felt front-loaded to me, between Kazuya from Tekken in Smash and Metroid Dread being a real thing. Advance Wars 1+2 remake is great to see. Shame that we didn't get a title for Breath of the Wild 2, or any footage whatsoever for Bayonetta 3.

 

[Sari]

Seems like Zelda won't be playable in BotW 2. Ngl, pretty bummed about that.

 

[SharkLord]

Alright so major takeaways:

1. kazuya voice %$#@ every expectation you had about deconfirms
   1. Octolings unambiguously possible again
   2. BotW Champions, SwSh Pokemon possible again
   3. Press F for Vergeben
2. METROID DREAD HOLY %$#@
3. Advance Wars is finally back. Perhaps Andy has a shot at Smash?

 

[Dukemon]

Tekken seams to be a japan choice, Does it?

 

[Noipoi]

New Metroid looks sweet, new Warioware is always appreciated, BOTW2 looks beautiful, and Kazuya looks dope. So I’m happy.

Shouldn't have trusted those DK leaks though…

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Well...

Looks like speculation will still continue for much longer. Also seems this has broken the pattern for more then one fighter at E3's.

Overall my thoughts on the new fighter. Definitely wasn't expecting but at the same time pretty content and a cool addition.

Spoiler

It's also another villain so that's a plus. I wonder if the reason for going with Kazuya was like Min Min where the creator wanted him?

 

[volbound1700]

I mean, they have 13 days until the presentation. Kazuya is 100% done by now lol

We didn't even get a date for the presentation for Kazuya or his release information.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Ryu, Ken, Chrom, Lucina and now Kazuya

Project X Zone 2 is officially canon to Smash now. Wasn’t KOS-MOS, but I’ll take it b

Now imma make a screenshot of Ryu, Ken, Chrom, Lucina and Kazuya getting caught in Shulk’s Final Smash cause that’s where Fiora appears

This is a cultured response.

They pretty much did what i expected for Tekken, put in a cooler member of the mishima family.

 

[TwiceEXE]

So only 1 reveal? Alright, the next couple of months is gonna be a ****show.

I guess CP11 is Master Chief because Vergeben said so. Maybe what he said wasn't specific to the direct.

Nah, you gotta accept reality my dude. Verg is just wrong. Just like he was wrong about a new DK being shown off.

 

[Ben Holt]

Wow. ANOTHER non-mascot character.
At this rate, Crash won't get in because it'll be Coco.

 

[TheMightyP]

Tekken seams to be a japan pick, Does it?

No, Tekken is ****ing huge worldwide

 

[drag0nscythe]

Ok. so now we can say the champions thing and Halo leaks are dead. No one said Tekken beforehand.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I told y'all Zelda was obviously gonna get damsel'ed again from the first trailer but everyone was too caught up in their wishful thinking to listen.

At least Warriors still seems to be amending that, so I'm content.

 

[SlickWylde]

Nice! Not a big fan of the fighting game characters, but good trailer and was funny seeing the Smash characters getting tossed. Metroid Dread looks cool (I wasn't aware of this already being a thing), Mario+Rabbids looks fun, Wario Ware with splitscreen sounds interesting. Overall this was a pretty cool direct.

 

[Shroob]

We didn't even get a date for the presentation for Kazuya or his release information.

They release like a week after the Sakurai presents. They're not gonna drop the Sakurai presents and be like "Oh, he won't be out til August lol."

 

[Noipoi]

1. Octolings unambiguously possible again
2. BotW Champions, SwSh Pokemon possible again.

Ummm, how exactly?

 

[WahHahaha]

Nah, you gotta accept reality my dude. Verg is just wrong. Just like he was wrong about a new DK being shown off.

If he is wrong, I wouldn't be upset about it because it means Waluigi still has a chance.

In my mind, the reason they didn't do a double reveal is because Waluigi requires so much work that it would be impossible.

 

[RileyXY1]

Wow. ANOTHER non-mascot character.
At this rate, Crash won't get in because it'll be Coco.

Then again in Tekken's case the mascot character is already in as a Mii costume.

 

[FJA147]

Just know that Kayuza and whoever CP11 are going to be hated because they weren’t the character people wanted. Bandai Namco did deserve rep due tow eking on the game and only having Pac-Man. For me it makes sense but overall most of the direct was underwhelming because half of the stuff presented was stuff that had already been revealed in the other presentations.

 

[Commander_Alph]

Well...

Looks like speculation will still continue for much longer. Also seems this has broken the pattern for more then one fighter at E3's.

Overall my thoughts on the new fighter. Definitely wasn't expecting but at the same time pretty content and a cool addition.

Spoiler

It's also another villain so that's a plus. I wonder if the reason for going with Kazuya was like Min Min where the creator wanted him?

Probably not, This is Harada we're talking about and he has express his interest on character like Lili and Ganryu more than Kazuya.

 

[Staarih]

No Bayonetta 3 yet again, makes me more and more worried about what's up with the game lol.

But besides that, a great Direct! Was kinda expecting a new DK in there somewhere because of the murmurs of one coming, but maybe next time then.

 

[AreJay25]

Tekken seams to be a japan choice, Does it?

Tekken 3 was a big reason to own a PS1 back in the day.

Tekken 7 sold 5 million units.

It's definitely a worldwide pick.

 

[MooMew64]

Smash pick was whelming but METROID HECKING DREAD LET’S GOOOOOOOOO

WARIO WARE

RETRO MARIO PARTY BOARDS

 

[Guynamednelson]

Tekken seams to be a japan choice, Does it?

Tekken's popular everywhere.

 

[Megadoomer]

We didn't even get a date for the presentation for Kazuya or his release information.

The presentation's on June 28th.

 

[JustPlainDan]

So, a Tekken character. That was definitely unexpected.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Wait don’t they have a closed doors conference as well? What if they reveal Chief or someone else in said conference a la
