The actual Anniversary is in September, stuff just happens around March 10th, because, well, it's Mar10 day. Nintendo tends to make their Anniversary celebrations like they do for Mario and Zelda more of a throughout the year kind of thing.
Oh, okay. I get it now. Still, I am not sure if a Direct will be released next week alongside Mario Day, but maybe that is just me.
Assuming the Direct *is* on Mario day, they'd announce it all there. There's also the weird possibility of it being Waluigi, but I think Geno would be much better, seeing as how Geno is pro-Mario and Waluigi is generally anti-Mario (or rather anti-Luigi, who *is* pro-Mario, so by association, Waluigi is basically anti-Mario). Idfk what I'm saying anymore, don't mind me; hopefully Geno and PM3 next week, let's go!
Dude, this is a no-smoking area. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
I ain't afraid of no furries. But fine, let's not. It would be way too off topic anyways.
If this theory is correct then I really hope we do get blindsided by a playable Indie character and then just get a ton of music and Mii costumes from other popular indie games. I wouldn't even care who the rep was if I could get some music from The Messenger and Deltarune.
I think it's safe to say Kris as a mii costume is a safe bet.
Oh god, what if we get Jibanyan as a fighter, but Layton is a Mii Swordfighter outfit?
Smash 5 has been released over a year so we can conclude that nothing special happened to all known Nintendo franchises. Plus, that would neither justify why we should have presented franchise for DLC nor explain why Nintendo made the first DLC from Mario franchise too. And still, with unused Mario main cast on hand, I wouldn't think it's easy to predict even if Nintendo actually announce the next DLC is Mario franchise.
That'd make perfect sense since Layton has used a sword before....... oh no WHAT IF THAT'S WHAT HE USES AS A MAIN MOVESET IF HE GETS IN LOL fans are gonna be rioting at that.
Which do you think would be worse:
idk if you are being serious but nah, Nintendo dont need no letter from yall. This is the only thread Ive seen continually hope for a direct everyday
That sounds like an awful idea. Don't do this. They'll release it when they release it.
It is glorious to hear someone say Dixie Kong might have a chance because myself and the rest of us at the Dixie Kong thread have kind of lost hope for Dixie appearing as DLC in this game.
While most of us agree on a new Zelda rep overdue, you happen to note three franchises that have been expanded within Smash 5 era, The answer is still that NIntendo have chosen the three they prefer for these franchises, and we can only judge whether the decisions were right or wrong.
I'd say number one is great given that level 5 would have a representative and that Jibanyan would be more unique than Layton in my opinion not to mention the series is selling quit a lot that it's almost up there with Pokémon.
I could see a Layton costume come with a playable Phoenix Wright or vice versa since they were in a crossover together at one point.
Oh yeah they did do that, I never watched that all the way through but it was cool seeing them crossover. I know some of professor layton but I've watched MOST of pheonix wright and it'd be like breaking the law to see him in smash.
I think Heihachi would also fit pretty well into it: a character previously wanted by Sakurai but at that time too complicated to implement. Now with Daddy Saks having more expertise with fighting game characters he can also make the impossible possible. Heihachi is one of the few Japanese made characters left that would break the internet and as a bonus also the FGC.In other words, "drunk online shopping." Like I've been saying since August or so, a vast majority of the insider rumors that have come involve 1. big fan favorites that have been wanted for at least a decade, 2. characters that would have been borderline impossible before Ultimate or 3. both. Obviously, I have my six predictions but of the 14-15 characters that come up in insider speculation and rumors, most honestly hit this right on the head. While people fight and squabble about the particulars, I will say that there's a couple of things people do agree on:
1. At least one more Western rep.
2. At least one Nintendo character.
3. At least one character that's overwhelmingly identified with Sony or Microsoft.
4. At least one promotion whether it's a spirit, AT, or costume.
5. At least one character that would have been ridiculously hard to negotiate but Nintendo did it anyways.
6. At least one character with a fanbase going back to Brawl or even Melee.
Again, everything points to Season 2 going all out with fanservice and has since last summer to the point it's almost an established fact that most of Season 2 will be borderline unbelievable.
Unless they open with Namco, I think we won't be able to see who pulls ahead in the Loyd/Heihachi race until we get a couple of characters to figure out whether the tone will be "Fan favorites" or "Break the Internet" with each one definitely favoring one over the other. That said, did Fatman ever say which on he had heard more/felt better over? (If not that's fine, no need to drag things too hard in this direction.
So sue me; it was just a thought. It didn’t sound that awful to me, anyway. Plus, considering how long it is taking, the idea of just checking to see what was going on didn’t sound like it would hurt to do.
I always wondered why Luigi did not have a mustache in that movie.
Hey, don't mind me. I was just saying. Plus, I am chill.
Shame...On...You. Nah, just kidding, you're good.
*Cough* Soul Calibur *cough* Nightmare *cough* you forgot.

pointed out yesterday, there's definitely reasons for Mario Day to be a big deal this year because of the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros but I realized there's even more reasons for Nintendo to drop megaton announcements for Mario this year outside of "it's 2020, hurrdurr":
I dunno about the Direct being today. I hear the Reddit leaker who got the Animal Crossing Direct date right says that the General Direct is likely to be next week.
Both Heihachi and Lloyd would bode really well for Geno I think. But it seems like Heihachi would definitely break the internet more as you say. A character who was attempted but deemed impossible plus if my understanding is correct, Heihachi is like a main character who's a villain basically. Forgive me if that's a misunderstanding I'm not at all familiar with Tekken. But if that's the case then that's something we haven't seen before: a villain being the first representative of a series and a third party series no less. That would be another fan rule to take a blow and the more these rules topple the better it is for our star boy. And both Heihachi and Lloyd have impressive fanbases and are requested characters so that too bodes well for Geno. Heihachi is also just really cool and even tho I'm not a fan of other fighting games, he's one fighting game character I'd actually be excited to see. I don't think he'd break the internet to levels like Master Chief or Sora would but probably around the level that Ridley did which is certainly nothing to scoff at. I have to admit that I'm more interested in Kloana and Nightmare because I like mascot characters and characters that have impacted my gaming experience respectively but I know it will probably be Heihachi or Lloyd and I absolutely have mad respect for both of those characters and they'd deserve it.
Essentially yeah I agree that it boils down to sales or I'd also argue relevance. Clearly, as you have already stated, Banjo is proof that these cannot outright prohibit a character from getting included, but they probably are Geno's biggest hurdles in terms of whether Nintendo and/or SE are going to be willing to chose Geno opposed to a character from a different IP. Geno is also in this super weird limbo of basically being a third party one hit wonder in a first party franchise for Nintendo. No other characters really have this kind of weird position as well as insane levels of fan support making him quite the oddity among other speculated characters.
Are any of them first party games?
