FIRST NINTENDO DIRECT OF 2014

[Dravidian]

Not gonna lie, I'm still kind of worried that power bar 1 hit ko mechanic will be too OP.

depends on how and how fast, really.

 

[Stenton]

In Brawl, Lil Mac's Assist Trophy was always against me and always smashes me out of the ring.. (Happy Accident).

Wasn't extremely surprised though. The Boxing Ring did give clues. But I am very happy to see another series rep in the game rather seeing an Almost-Diddy Clone.

i think little mac has the best newcomer trailer so far

Meh the flash animation seemed a bit lazy, I don't think it's the best trailer.

 

[Dott]

Not gonna lie, I'm still kind of worried that power bar 1 hit ko mechanic will be too OP.

I'm scary about the speed, Sonic looks slow compared to him.

 

[?????????????]

I just got home.

I exclaimed.

I cried.

I am overjoyed.

 

[SeatreasureReturned]

I was really hoping for Dixie. I was never really a fan of Little Mac. But the trailer was pretty great, I may have to give him a try.

 

[Darkshadow77]

I think it would be neat if the stage loaded different textures depending on Mac's presence.

Why would they do that though? Sounds kind of dumb (and kind of a waste of time IMO, no offense)
The Punch-Out logos were most likely hidden because people would think it could confirm Little Mac. Just look at all those posts saying that the fact that it doesn't have Punch Out logos means it's not a PO stage and Little Mac is disconfirmed.

I was more surprised that the Koopalings made it into MK8.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Nice to know that X is not vaporware with that battle. It may not be that substantial, but it'll give those Xenoblade fans something to enjoy for now. It's a much appreciated sign of life.

Koopalings in MK8? Sign me up! Maybe I'll finally memorize their names with that game. I bet there's 2 of each weight class.

 

[SirGalvan]

This was an amazing Direct in my opinion. They hyped me up for Yoshi's New Island with showing off all of those new powerups. Also the X, Bayonetta, Mario Kart footage was so amazing.

Although Lil Mac was not on my top ten wish list I understand many people wanted him in the game so I am glad for them

 

[KiraYoshikage]

It looks like it would be very easy to dodge.

Also, we're getting more looks at the HUD!

I think its the same as how it was in that E3 gameplay. Which is fine. It looks good. :D

 

[kylexv]

Yarn Yoshi might be vaporware now.
We haven't gotten info for more than a year.

 

[Norm]

First Megaman now Little Mac. All I need now is Ridley and I am a happy camper. Everyone else that is added to this game is just a plus from there. Though I'm looking forward to trying all the new characters **** I am pumped for this game!

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Mac is a ****ing beast. Finally a fast ground fighter like a hybrid of Dudley and 3rd strike Makoto.

****ing mained. Period.

 

[The Curious Volnutt]

That speed though. It's scary.

 

[Fenrir VII]

Well, Mac proved that ATs can be playable this time around...

Come on, Isaac. Come onnnnnn...

(blindly hoping that Golden Sun isn't a dead franchise)


Also Mac vs CF confirmed funnest match in the game.

 

[The Curious Volnutt]

Your GIF looks so wrong because it is cut off at the bottom. Just saying... it isn't really PG-13.

Only 30 minutes to go...

That's why I decided to keep it, isn't it fantastic?

 

[D-idara]

QUIT FOOLIN' AROUND OUT THERE! SMASH AIN'T NO JOKE!

Damn right Doc Louis! God I loved that ****ing Direct, so amazing.

 

[Rockaphin]

I don't even like Little Mac but this trailer hyped me up! Dem combos were crazy!

I can see this now,
*start online free-for-all match*
*random guy picks Little Mac and a large stage*
*runs to the farthest spot and charges meter all the way up*
*runs to the nearest person to try and hit a 1-hit KO*

 

[dimensionsword64]

BEST. DIRECT. EVER.

That was so awesome.

 

[HammerHappy]

It seems like Little Mac is going to be a high speed high power character but with huge lag on a lot of his moves, meaning that he's easily punishable with damaging stuff you wouldn't normally land.

So wow, basically just like Punch Out.

His recovery also seems fairly weak.

 

[Ulti-Bman]

This Direct seems to be a "you love it or you hate" Direct. Here's what I have to say about it:

 

[Bassoonist]

Well... Little Mac isn't the most exciting character addition for me. However, he is one that is deserving, so I'm not bothered. I'm just glad it wasn't the predictable Diddy Kong/Dixie Kong, or Palutena (who I hope doesn't show up at all).

Everybody was sooo convinced that it would be Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong, which I find hilarious. I pointed out that Pokemon X/Y's release never saw a Pokemon reveal in SSB4, but nobody listens.

 

[majorasmaskfan]

So the next big direct will most likely be April and the last newcomer reveal before e3, I am going to bet on Palutena.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Solid 7/10 Direct
5 of those points from the Mac attack.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Little Mac, Koopalings in Mario Kart and the X gameplay made my day. Everything else was kinda meh to me.
Showing Smash first caught me off guard but I think it was the right thing to do.

EDIT: Oh and NES Remix 2 looks really good. I like how they showed more crossover type stages like Link fighting the Hammer Bro.

 

[Priap0s]

Nice to know that X is not vaporware with that battle. It may not be that substantial, but it'll give those Xenoblade fans something to enjoy for now. It's a much appreciated sign of life.

Koopalings in MK8? Sign me up! Maybe I'll finally memorize their names with that game. I bet there's 2 of each weight class.

Lemmy koopa is the only one I can imagine being light weight thou. The others are atleast the size of Mario/Luigi if not bigger. I guess they could shrink Iggy or Larry just a little bit just for the sake of it. I am more excited about a potential story esque cup mode (I found it a bit tedious to unlock everything in the previous games, the single palyer could get hottened up a bit). I was thinking there might be a reason to why they wanted to include 7 bad guys. Maybe they are trying to get the ratio to 50/50 good and bad guys for some story driven arcade mode?

My general impression and feelings regarding the direct:
The gameplay in the Mac reveal was outstanding, the game looked so good. Mario Kart is gorgeus and will be so much fun. I wish they had shown more of X but it was good to get some signs of life from it. I missed hyrule warrior info, sonic boom and fire emblem x SMT. Lastly thou, The bayonetta trailer was HYPE!!!

Good direct imo. 7.5/10

 

[D-idara]

So the next big direct will most likely be April and the last newcomer reveal before e3, I am going to bet on Palutena.

Ridley, Ridley!

I think this thread has served its purpose now.
