Guys, it's here https://youtu.be/s_UcjEq2Dgk

 

[Icewolff92]

It has released a shadow dropped direct https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFbES4ultTA&feature=youtu.be

Edit - Bowsers fury? What the heck is that

 

[Heoj]

I already finished watching it, and honestly it was pretty underwhelming for me personally, just didnt really care much at all

 

[Icewolff92]

And there we have the Super Smash Bros event we never got this week. LOOOOOL

 

[MattOnwheels]

Ok. Now Geno HAS to be the next fighter. Why on earth wou;d the insiders have teased him hours before a direct?

 

[Naigumi]

The Mario Kart thing it's a very... Nintendo thing to do lol but it looks pretty cool. I think that Mario Direct was okay, 3D World finally got some love.
Still, no idea about the Smash event

 

[pinshadow]

And there we have the Super Smash Bros event we never got this week. LOOOOOL

No we don't? It says it's later in the year.

Anyway that was... something. We have ALOT to talk about and not exactly all good things... I'll wait until people wake up more but this answers some questions but leaves me with several more.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Everything in the Direct was pretty cool, and I’m curious as to what Bowser’s Fury is.

I find it strange that Nintendo is pretending Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn’t exist though, but I guess they couldn’t show it in the history thing without people wondering why it wasn’t included in the collection.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Sunshine was the only game I cared for in this thing, shame it wasnt sold as its own thing. But Mario stuff in AC:NH is always good

 

[Cuzeba123]

Welp. The direct was good, but it seemed like good timing to announce Geno. I guess I won't be expecting him anymore, at least not as fighter 7 :/

 

[pinshadow]

3D World has Online Multiplayer, HELL HAS OFFICIALLY FROZEN OVER.

 

[Icewolff92]

No we don't? It says it's later in the year.

They didn´t say anything specific date and I missed the November/December part. My bad

Also, why the fricking fridge are the 3D All-Star a limited release in both digital and physical?

 

[MattOnwheels]

Fatmanonice Thoughts? Where does this leave smash spec now?

I feel like this is newly announced mario themed tournament is something we need to look at with laser eyes right now. Notice how this tournament is said to take place somewhere in november and december.
If you ask me this is probably something really valuable for geno since hypothetically if geno was fp7 that would mean he would probably release somewhere in late september/october, meaning he would make it just in time for this tournament

 

[Let Geno Smash]

Ok, I alredy saw the Direct. Tbh, I am really dissapointed with 3D All Stars:
-Nintendo was like "Mario Galaxy 2 don't exist". I always knew was only 64, Sunshine and Galaxy but they don't mention it
-Are the same games just with music, Joycon thing in Galaxy and bigger screen, Ok 64 still with that graphics and the Blue coins in sunshine
-There are a limit offer

 

[xNovaNebulax]

GUYS, we are teetering on the edge right now!!
genos chances skyrocketed

 

[DarkShadow20]

Well at least we finally got some news. Disappointed they didn't update Mario 64's graphics though. And I couldn't even play that Mario Kart thing if I wanted to as I don't have the space nor do I have hardwood floors. I wonder if there were any leaks that correctly guessed anything we didn't already have rumors about?

 

[ZerBerry]

So they did shadowdroped it... Oh well, I guess I can go **** myself then...
The most anticipated thing for months is actually the most disappointing thing. Nintendo did something in 2020 that fans made years ago and even better. Really, just get Dolphin, a HD texture pack, SM64, Sunshine and Galaxy 1 AND 2 roms and there you have it ! Super Mario 3D All Stars but bigger, better and free !
No Ultimate announcement tho ! I wonder what does that mean for Geno, Paper Mario and Waluigi

 

[Penguinbowler]

Am I weird for saying I'd actually enjoy 3d All Stars?
Maybe it's because I grew up with a Wii, but I never played Mario 64 or Sunshine, so the ability to get them both at once is amazing to me. I probably would have prefered a Paper Mario All Stars do to my love of RPGs, but 3d Allstars is a chance for me to play games i never played.

Also my wii broke like 6 years ago so the ability to play galaxy again, even if i lack galaxy 2, is great.

Then why the hell wouldn't they announce him right now? That's what is confusing me. I guess they don't want to be shadowdropping Smash news but like, still. I'm still kinda frazzled right now (and blinded by dissappointment/rage that it's literally a 3 game port collection, keeping Sunshine at 30fps despite a literal Gameshark code working on Wii to make it 60 (and let's not even get into Dolphin) a limited DIGITAL RELEASE?, and not even including Galaxy 2)

I seriously wonder if this Toy version of Mario Kart has been the rumored Mario Kart 9 all along

 

[ctt4lfecw]

That Mario Direct was exciting! I’d have to think that means a Mario character for the anniversary is coming in Smash DLC, Let’s hope it’s Geno!

 

[Paraster]

Is it possible they just don't like announcing Smash stuff in themed Directs as opposed to general ones? I can't recall an instance where a themed Direct (outside of Smash-themed ones, of course) gave a character announcement.

 

[Kremling Kommander]

ITS REAL, MARIO 3D COLLECTION IS COMING TO SWITCH I CANT HANDLE MYSELF

Very unfortunate for Galaxy 2 though, it looked like it could have been possible too.
But goddamn I am so happy right now I can’t wait to get this game

 

[pinshadow]

Also, it's out in 2 weeks. Which leaves me questioning why they waiting until 2 WEEKS BEFORE RELEASE (NEW RECORD BAYBEEEEE) to reveal it? But more importantly...

IF THIS ISN'T OUT IN NOVEMBER, WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE HOLIDAY 2020 GAME? DOES IT EXIST? SURELY NINTENDO WOULDN'T LEAVE NOVEMBER HANGING RIGHT?

Assuming geno is fp7, i feel like he would have grossly overshadowed everything else and i think nintendo would know that. Besides i think a sakurai presents reveal is more likely

 

[Penguinbowler]

Personally I don't think Geno's chances have raised or lowered at all via this direct. If he was being added for the 35th anniversity i think they'd have a reason to include him as an announcement, but if he was being added from fan demand or was supposed to be added at an earlier or later date i think they wouldn't have done so.

 

[Kremling Kommander]

I just realized that this game is going to be a limited time release both on retail and digital until end of March 2021...

Of ****** course Nintendo would do that for such a highly requested game, they did the same thing for Prime Trilogy on Wii. What does it accomplish them by doing this?

 

[MarcelinoBros92]

I think more details on gifts from other franchises to Mario will come in September, but no more for this week, to avoid anything that overshadows the recent announcements.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Disappointed they didn't update Mario 64's graphics though

Actually, Mario's textures and the HUD seem to be upscaled. Just not the rest of the game.

 

[Skull Leader]

As per Galaxy 2, the rumors suggested it was always likely to come later.

It's a lot harder to justify an additional $ DLC cost alongside a compilation title right at release, and probably outside the reasonable retail of 59.99 for the existing collection to bump it up to 69.99 at release.

This way, Nintendo gets that 9.99 anyways AND the 59.99 retail and they could even then push a holiday bundle with all 4 titles for the value add on holiday Switch sales.

I argue that Geno´s inclusion would overshadow the rest of the stuff which is why they didn´t reveal any potential Mario related Smash character.

You do realize it's a limited release right? They are discontinuing it after March and you won't even be able to buy it on the eshop anymore. Why would they add DLC to a release like this?

 

[AugustusB]

3D World has Online Multiplayer, HELL HAS OFFICIALLY FROZEN OVER.

This makes me so happy!

Overall its what the whole fandom expected to be dropped, but was still pleasantly surprised with the Tetris 99 style version of Mario.

Also, I will be keeping a close eye on that Mario themed event later this year. Could it mean Geno? Maybe? It is interesting that is it happening later and not THIS WEEK.

 

[pinshadow]

I mean seriously, are we going to have nothing but POOOOOOOORTS for the next 5 months?

Bravely Default 2 being 2020 at this point is a toss-up and I doubt Snap is coming anytime soon. Do they seriously have no real new games until atleast FEBRUARY? Surely not, right? Haha...

Maybe we are getting only FP7 this year after all xD

I think we should wait and see about Snap concidering TPC are more than likely going to have a last-minute presentation before Crown Tundra. Heck, who knows. Maybe Snap is their Holiday title which I could see be the cause at this point

How so?

 

[Skull Leader]

I kind of heard that part more as "this limited retail and digital version of the game is available for a limited time". Meaning another version would be coming after that. It is worded oddly, but I don't really expect Nintendo to start Disney vaulting titles like that so easily.

 

[MattX20]

So, the Direct occurred while I was at work it seems. I don't think the fact Geno wasn't in this direct really lowers his chances though. Remember, the Sakurai Presents video for FP7 will still likely happen in the near future going off the facts we have so far
