If anything, that is what makes this event that more exciting. There is so much at stake with this ARMS character and I hope we come out of it smelling like roses.
And, honestly, that's kind of the depressing thing about all this is that I've gotten hate mail and death treats because "my predictions were too good." Seriously... here's an example. Also, this is not the real Spatulo Spatulo . This was somebody pretending to be him in an attempt to stalk me a few months ago:

At this point if Geno doesn't get in, there's no justice in the cosmos. Imagine living in a reality in which people like this get to be right.

Sours my stomach.

Nintendo and their shadowdropping behaviour lately worries me as someone who works 10+ hours a day. I'm worried that one day on my break I will check my phone and have a thumbnail spoil a Smash reveal before I have chance to watch it. At least with Direct dates they are announced at least a day in advance to plan a spoiler free link accordingly.

Right? A good number of people unironically hate me because "hey guys, Nintendo's going to make some pretty kick ass announcements in 2020 according to some of my insider friends and my own research" is a statement that's literally so unbelievable that it justifies harassment of not only me but my friends and family.

"Cool things are probably coming in 2020."

"STFU FATMAN, KYS ASAP, THX."

This is the first bit of Smash News I have been this tense about since the one in November. It's a pretty cool feeling but it really does feel like Geno is revisiting another make or break territory. But I refuse to let any overzealous Sora fans put me down like they did last time. I'm determined see that we win in the end.
I can see your point, but it's annoying at the lack of transparency nontheless

I had to write parking tickets to get through grad school so you can say that I'm kind of numb to harassment and death treats at this point. At least with this stuff I don't have people damaging my car, trying to run me over, or discovering people sitting outside my apartment at like 2 in the morning, trying to get the nerve to destroy mine or my now wife's stuff.

I think what's important to note is that even though you used to hate Geno (which is fine), you never ever went out of your way to attack Geno fans, and that's great- your current support of him is also really nice. As for age, yeah, I was born in 2004, I'm possibly(?) the youngest in the thread- you, me and all the other zoomers gotta keep our boy going.
Darn right. We gotta keep the awareness up for your guys' starry boy (though pretty soon that'll be unnecessary once Geno gets in Smash).

(Also gosh darn it you're younger than me.)

Some new footage for Paper Mario: The Origami King; courtesy of GameXplain.

While i still think this will be the best of the 3 I can't help but feel that it just looks really cluttered and overdesigned. I wish that they would just persue what they want whether we like it or not instead of trying to half heartedly appeal to everyone and lose focus. Maybe I'm reading this wrong but it feels like they were pressured into going back to the old ideas and this was the compromise everyone agreed on.

The new Paper Mario footage seems to have eased some of my concerns. The extreme focus on paper even in the story still bugs me a bit I guess, though I think it’s growing on me since I don’t really mind. There also appears to be some sort of badge system, like that equip-able heart thing, and partners are back, so that’s all cool. I don’t mind generic partners, and at least Bobby/Bob-omb has something that makes him stand out from the others of his kind. Bowser, Bowser Jr., and Kamek are also cool. Everything else in the trailer seems cool as well.

The confetti system also appears to be different from paint, since you can’t cross empty spaces without it...though, excuse me if that’s how it was in CS, I just assumed Mario could still walk over the white spaces.

Sucks that the partners might not do anything in the overworld, though. However, it seems at least Professor Toad does, as he dug up a pot or something from the sand in GameXplain’s video...

As for TOK, I think I got enough information to know that it's not for me but I still think it's worth keeping an eye on and maybe reviews will convince me otherwise when it comes out. I agree with the opinion that it's trying to be too many things at once and will end up not doing any of them to the best of its ability as a result. I don't really understand the issue with the paper art style and puns and story and all that tho honestly that seems to be used rather well here even if it's way over the top. Its still too early to really say on a lot of things so I'll keep old faithful at the ready here

Holy ****, that person is so unlike the wholesome Spatulo Spatulo I know at Discord.

Different pfp, awful attitude and probably LGTBphobic.

Sorry you had to go through that Fatman. I assure you the real Spatulo is a wholesome person who deserves to be protected as much as Malo Mart Malo Mart and I.

The only other issue I have with TOK is that I wish the partners were a little bit unique. Like, is it really that hard to give Bobby the Bob-Omb a hat or something to make him stand out? Or have the partner Kamek wear different clothing and give him shades or something like that? Idk but that is the last gripe I still have with the game. Everything else in that trailer has me less worried about what the game will have to offer, especially for us hardcore Mario RPG fans.

Well, you predicted a Nintendo character, so you are mostly correct so far haja. And also, its highly likely that Arms character is either a spirit, mii costume or assist trophy promotion, so you are not too wrong.

And for the rest, must wait and see. I think this sunday, when Smash tournament finishes, NOA tweet about ARMS character presentation.

Hmmm, Tuesday or Thursday. Wednesday is release of Pokemon DLC ... Nintendo tends to give SOME breathing room between things. Of course I would like a Monday announcement and a Tuesday video/reveal or whatever would be ideal.

So, any last minute bets on what day next week we might see the reveals?
I know that Smash reveals don't usually seem to fall on anniversaries, but I'm thinking the 16th is a good bet. They could reveal the ARMS Fighter then, and then release them a week or two after the fact, which would still fall within the June release window.

Fatman, I am disgusted that you turned this man into a crab. Change him back now or I'm going to use my omnipotent powers to ensure Cheetahmen from Action 52 is FP7

Considering we ended up getting paper mario info on a friday, i think its definitely possible for us to get a smash announcement on monday with a presentation on tuesday.

Assuming Smash is next week, I super-duper doubt it'll be on Wednesday due to Pokemon. Tuesday or Thursday is pretty much a given at this point. I really don't think it'll be the last week.

Given that I don't see any existing Smash videos in that available now playlist, I'm going to wager that the remaining video isn't our reveal or Sakurai presents.
Isn't that the available now playlist? If the Smash DLC is not available by the time the video comes out, I don't see how it is fit to be on the Available Now page.

So that's what happened? I would also act like that if I was turned into a Crusty. :ultpacman:

Yes, one of the unlisted videos is in that playlist. I don't see any other Smash reveals/videos in that playlist, so unless they remove them down the line the remaining video isn't Smash.

See ya'll next week, maybe.

r/whoosh.
Lol sorry. The joke is just that June 31 isn't an actual day
Ooooh, now I feel embarrassed.

Still, I think I remember someone else saying June 31st, even if it isn't an actual day. Not sure if it was a joke, though. I still think they wouldn't show the trailers on June 30th.

I should look at my calendar more often.
