Direct Impressions!

-Kazuya in smash is whatever, But it makes a good lick of sense, I accept it.

-Mario Party was a pleasant surprise

-Metroid seems cool

-Warioware seems GOATED as always.

-The advanced wars remake, Hell Yes, But I'm not sold on the Artstyle just yet

-BOTW looks great

This was a solid as hell direct. 8/10

 

[Ben Holt]

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

As were Rex and Spring Man...

Best part of E3 without a doubt, even with one Smash reveal.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

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

Spoiler

I mean Jin is the protagonist, mascot and face of Tekken. So I would have assumed this being another Min Min scenario.

 

[TheMightyP]

Damn, I guess the meme of Smash fans not playing fighting games is true /s (kinda)

 

[Jassassino]

Well ****, I'M BACK!

 

[CannonStreak]

I knew it was a Tekken character when he was about to throw Ganondorf off into a volcano. Wasn't expecting him, though.

 

[SuperSmashStephen]

I was right. No one guessed Kazuya.

 

[volbound1700]

No, Tekken is ****ing huge worldwide

Although you are correct, I will say it is far more popular in Japan than Globally. It is a big enough name though to DESERVE to be in Smash. I am not bothered at all about his inclusion and Namco deserved a rep. Still, the West really hasn't been thrown much of a bone except for Banjo and Steve in the FP while there have been clearly Japanese picks. Heck I say West but even China and Korea tend to favor more Western IP as well so you could argue we are getting mostly Japanese popular picks over Global popular picks.

As stated, I don't think Tekken is a bad add at all and SHOULD have been expected. I look forward to trying out Kayuza and I am not upset at all by this pick. Still, it would be nice to at least getting one of the big Western IPs somewhere in this FP that people are clamoring for.

 

[Shroob]

Smash character who WASN'T leaked

Metroid Dread

New Warioware

Mario Party Collection

Advanced Wars isn't dead

BotW2 news

I am very pleased, Nintendo won e3

 

[WahHahaha]

I was right. No one guessed Kazuya.

I wasn't against the idea of Tekken in Smash, but I felt like they'd pick Heihachi.

It's cool anyway though.

 

[rychu_supadude]

It wasn't in the Direct, but apparently the first DLC for The Wonderful 101 finally comes out... today

That really caps it off for me

 

[PLATINUM7]

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

E3 is all digital this year. There's no doors to close.

 

[Noipoi]

Imma keep it real with y’all.

When they were revealing Monkey Ball…I thought it was DK.

I’m sorry, I saw the banana logo and I freaked!

 

[Idon]

Here's the Idon tag.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DEMI-TWINK FOR SMASH.

 

[Souless_shadow]

That was an amazing direct, so many great announcements, and great footage of games we already knew about. So so happy about all of this.

 

[TwiceEXE]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[WahHahaha]

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

Then they would have to reveal the Donkey Kong Country game too, which Verge was apparently wrong about.

It's possible he just had bad sources, I don't think he'd post this close to the direct if it wasn't related to it.

My guess was that he heard there was gonna be a Smash reveal, but somehow got the wrong character.

 

[Jassassino]

I was praying for Kazuya for quite a while, really thought he'd be far better to fit than Heihachi and I'm so glad about it too. You bet we gonna be doing Max Damage combos and juggling like crazy mfers

 

[Twilord]

Soo... uhh...


anyone wanna help me mod Digimon into Melee? I mean pretty obvious now it wouldn't be redundant...

--------------------------------------------

No offense to Lloyd but I'm glad I wasn't crazy for thinking Tales Of was too obvious. Also funny that in the same Direct Nintendo debunked my Digimon theory they drove home the idea they still see merit in the Tamagotchi/Game&Watch approach to game design.

 

[RGFS]

Really neat direct! Liked a lot of what was shown.

Surprised about Tekken getting a rep despite the Heihachi Mii Costume coming with Min Min. I kinda wished it was him as I liked the idea of an old man character but it's nice to still see what we did. Weird they didn't save it until then. Why wouldn't they??

A Ubisoft rep, a Bethesda rep, or even Geno feel more plausible now to me.

 

[Wunderwaft]

HOLY **** KAZUYA IN SMASH
I THOUGHT THE TEKKEN DREAM DIED WITH THE HEIHACHI COSTUME
THIS IS AWESOME

 

[RileyXY1]

From a Smash reveal absolutely no one saw coming, to the first new 2D Metroid in 19 years, to the unexpected revival of Advance Wars, Nintendo clearly won this E3.

 

[Technomage]

And that's that.


GUESS WE'RE RIDING THIS **** UNTIL SEPTEMBER LOL

Ugh, I'm gonna dread that.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

At first I thought Dread was a Fusion remake, but the robot was clearly a new thing, plus they outright said it was going to be a "new" entry in the franchise.

The game is another legit Survival Horror take on Metroid, so I'm really looking forward to it!

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

This metroid game looks sick, now that Samus can turn invisible and is being hunted by Terminators, the real question is how Ridley is gonna return this time.

 

[ZephyrZ]

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

E3 is a digital event this year, isn't it?

I guess they could still have a private digital conference, but that does seem kind of pointless.

 

[Z25]

Tekken seams to be a japan choice, Does it?

Nah, this further confirms, most of this phase is characters Sakurai wanted to do previously but never got to.

For example, ARMS, a Xenoblade 2 rep, and now Tekken, are all games Sakurai said he tried to represent previously but didn't have time or hadn't gotten movesets down.

Very likely final character is about to someone else we know Sakurai tried to work on. My bet is its a pokemon, possibly from Legends Arceus. If rowlett has a new final form, I'd bet on that, since Decidueye was heavily considered.

 

[AreJay25]

If Kazuya doesn't come with this track then what's the point

 

[Momotsuki]

If y'all thought Terry was on some ****, you're not ready for the 28th. Tekken is on another level.

 

[Deleted member]

I can't believe some rando on twitter made a bait tweet about how ****ty JRPG fans are to Pllatformers over Crash and the latest character revealed was neither of those 2 genres.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Are people super hyped about Kazuya?

Don't forget Capcom. Dante is still on the table and I am so happy that the Monster Hunter and Arthur Mii Costumes don't deconfirm him.

 

[Commander_Alph]

Spoiler

For the record Heihachi, Jin and Kazuya IS and HAS been the main face of Tekken, Kazuya in particular is the main protagonist in the first game while Jin is just his sucessor in the later installment. So the logic of "everyone is the main character" doesn't apply here.

 

[CureParfait]

Tekken seams to be a japan choice, Does it?

No it's an international pick for sure.

I think that if any Pokemon game is getting in it's gonna be one from Sword and Shield.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Someone hold me.. im shaking still from Danganronpa

 

[TheMightyP]

Fir those windering about Heihachi, they retired the character out of respect of the VA dying.
