I admire your optimism there, however small it may be!It's reaching but I'd like to think if the fighter were third party owned, it would technically count as a partner showcase.
Welcome! I appreciate this heartfelt message. Even though from the bottom of my heart I would want both an SMRPG remake and Geno in Smash, I know we probably won't get both, and an SMRPG remake sounds like the biggest pipe dream to me. But hey, we can still remain hopeful no matter how unlikely it is! Geno has been widely considered to be an unlikely character for years until now, where he actually may be the runner up for who CP7 is, so their is still hope!Hello again!
Thank you, everyone, for welcoming me to the thread with open arms. I'm not experienced enough to quote anyone just yet, but I truly value the camaraderie here! And to the individual complimenting my username and profile image, thank you! My in-game names are always based around colors, but the more common ones were taken, so on a whim I gave 'Colors' a shot and it seems to have worked! Also, thank you to the individual who gave me a Geno Hat! I truly appreciate it! It actually inspired me to share a 3D Geno Hat with you all, but I'm still working on that.
Before I jump into the hot topic of the day (the Direct Mini: Partner Showcase tomorrow!) I just wanted to take a brief moment to tell you all how much I truly value the contents of this thread. It's no understatement when I say I love all the discussion points, all the memes, all the ominous twitter posts and, yes, I even love the arguments that take place here. The latter may seem like a bit of a red flag to some of you so please allow me to explain: I truly believe that people only argue about something they're truly passionate about it. We're all Smash fans here. We're all so passionate about the game, the DLC packs, and potential newcomers. It's true joy to share in this unbridled love with everyone here. When I see some light banter going on in here, I see the feelings of my heart reflected in every single one of you engaged in these heated discussions. It makes me happy that we all care so much about this game, and I sincerely hope everyone gets their most wanted and comes out feeling satisfied!
But alas, this is a Geno thread and the topic of the hour is the Direct Mini happening tomorrow! Aaaaaaa! Part of me would be incredibly thrilled to see a remake of Super Mario RPG announced tomorrow, but then another part of me is completely dreading it! As irrational as it sounds, I would personally feel like a reveal of such a game would hurt Geno's chances. Again, I know it's irrational. It could very well boost his chances, I just feel like it there's an unspoken hierarchy everything needs to fall in. In my mind's eye, I imagine a Geno Smash reveal first, and then the remake announced second. Alternatively, SMRPG could be announced tomorrow, and then Geno's announcement could be disguised as revealing more footage for the game down the line? There's so many possibilities. There's one thing I'm sure of though, and that's the fact that I'm unbelievably hyped. September appears to the month of shadowdrops! Week after week, we just keep getting them. I can't help but feel like there will be something next week as well. It feels like Nintendo set a hype train in motion, and you would think they would just set the brakes after every new reveal, but they've been continuously sharing new, varied content every week. It feels like the brakes should be rewritten as broken since the announcements aren't stopping yet. I'm rambling at this point, but I'm truly excited for tomorrow's reveals.
Honestly, it feels a little weird. It feels like, if a SMRPG remake was announced at any point, it feels like I could learn to love and forgive the Paper Mario series again. That would be the perfect indicator to me that Nintendo hears our cries about wanting a more traditional RPG. Combined with older fans' insatiable love towards Geno, well, a SMRPG remake almost sounds like a corny love letter, a sheer force of good will that can chip away & break down the sturdy walls built around someone's heart.

Yeah i really wanna see why would Imran hype this up alongside the PS5 event as "great gaming news" or however he phrased it, it better not be just MH…Well, if its only monster hunter... it's not gonna be super interesting
Based on how the previous Partner Showcases went, the most I'm expecting out of this one is...You have been officially calibrated by Garrus Vakarian, feel proud, not everyone has that privilege.
On a serious note, I said it already on the Isaac thread, but I really don't wanna have expectations for tomorrow. The partner showcases have been super disappointing overall, just having one good announcement title in them at best. Thank god they were just uploaded and skippable, but in this case it's gonna be live streamed so I do hope they fill it this time with stuff the majority actually can get behind… The way it was announced this time compared to previous showcases + Imran hyping it up as a good day for gaming alongside today's PS5 event really makes me wonder if the Monster Hunter game that shinobi said would be revealed before TGS isn't gonna be the only great thing… but for now I'm just gonna expect MH, I don't wanna get burnt expecting anything from partner showcases, lol
First paragraph is interesting.An excerpt from Nintendo's Fiscal Year Ending March 2021: Corporate Management Policy Briefing.
Page 53:
"We have covered three main topics in today's presentation. First, the trust relationship we have worked to build with consumers across multiple hardware generations is a key contributor to our ongoing business. Therefore, as we develop sustainable business models, it is important that we continue living up to consumers' expectations of Nintendo and maintain their trust."
Page 56:
"Finally, we have one more announcement to make. We will air the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, September 2020, which introduces titles from our development and publishing partners, at 11 p.m. on September 17 (JST)."

Enjoy ladies and gentlemen.
Yea, if its just MH, its big news, but its also spoiled at this point, so that takes away the hype of this event.Yeah i really wanna see why would Imran hype this up alongside the PS5 event as "great gaming news" or however he phrased it, it better not be just MH…
My personal opinion: pretty likely. I think that this Partner Showcase will be no better than the previous ones, with the possible exception of a potential Switch-exclusive Monster Hunter game (emphasis on "possible", since we might not even get that).Colors A warm welcome to you, I'm glad you're here!
Just wanted to gauge some opinions here: What are the odds tomorrow's direct will yield nothing too interesting and we'll all conclude with a unanimous "meh"?
Fighter 7 feels like it's simultaneously getting both closer and farther away.If this post on the smashboards blog is correct, Joker and Hero Amiibo support is already in Smash Ultimate. There will be no need for an update before the release of the amiibo wave to support the new ones.
If true, I'm afraid it's very bad news. It means that Sakurai's team knew in advance the next fighter would not be ready for release before the Amiibo wave, so they prepared an update more than a month in advance to add the Amiibo support. This means, of course, Fighter #77 is not going to be released before the Amiibo wave. It will come sometime well after that wave.
Basically, buckle in because we're not seeing that fighter until October at the earliest. My money is on November.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo isn’t really in a hurry to simply announce new fighters. The virus isn’t really a legit reason to reveal NOT release but reveal only 1 fighter in this pass so far. Sakurai and his team work on multiple characters at a time and they said progress is going fine working from home. We would of known who 7 is back at E3 and yet we still don’t know. I wouldn’t even care that they shadowdrop the announcements like they did to other major announcements. Nintendo sucks at handling DLC. If leakers came out, Nintendo should be glad they did their job for them.Fighter 7 feels like it's simultaneously getting both closer and farther away.
If this is true, then at this rate, Nintendo and Sakurai might as well just throw out that December 2021 deadline, cause the likelihood of going past that deadline into 2022 is getting higher and higher.
This is a little misleading. Amiibo theory has never had ANYTHING to do with updates needing to happen BECAUSE of them needing amiibo support. For example, we never had an update specifically to add support for the Pichu, Isabelle and Pokemon Trainer, and the latest update before their release was almost 2 months before in 3.10, which added the VR support, meaning the support was in the game 2 months in advance. Despite that, Hero still released only 4 days after the amiibo dropped.If this post on the smashboards blog is correct, Joker and Hero Amiibo support is already in Smash Ultimate. There will be no need for an update before the release of the amiibo wave to support the new ones.

If they did an SMRPG remake like FF7 Remake, then remake, hands down. There’s no way they’d do that but it’d be top option. Then sequel, then Smash+NSO last. It’d all be good but that’s my preferred choice order.People, I respect all opinions but if you ask me what do I prefer between:
a) Geno for Smash (with SMRPG to NSO)
b) SMRPG remake
c) SMRPG sequel
Given that Smash is my favorite game in life since I was 9 years with Smash 64 in 1999 and given that I played as Geno as 6 years in 1996, I say without hesitation Geno Playable in Smash 10000% over the other options. That’s my only and last dream. Geno as a fighter in my favorite game. Which is happening for me. Now if we can have also Sequel or Remake, please welcome of course!
I mean like... I really value your optimism but like... at least in my opinion, we definitely aint seeing fp7 this month and well be lucky if we see it in octoberCalm down people, I think fighter #7 and most probably, Geno, will be revealed during from Monday 21 to Friday 25 of September. I’m starting to decline on the double reveal of Geno and Crash at once. But I believe 100% Geno is #7 and Crash is #8 in different videos, probably with a longer gap of time due to this situation.
There is no chance in hell that Geno is not coming playable this time. Still so obvious for me. Not because just my faith, but also facts and timing of the stuff happened.
If you don’t believe me and wanna have a little extra faith, go check ForsakenM TIMING POST, specially part 4 when he explains how the things happened.
Fatmanonice ESSAY is algo good.
GENO FOLLOWS SMASH ROUTE!
I think if anyone could will a character into Smash through optimism alone, it'd be you.Calm down people, I think fighter #7 and most probably, Geno, will be revealed during from Monday 21 to Friday 25 of September.

Huh? I thought this was international.Today in Square Enix news, this apparently leaked:
Final Fantasy VII/VIII Twin Pack looks to be releasing outside of Asia
Can't go wrong with this onegonintendo.com
Final Fantasy 7 and 8 were sold as a physical combo in Asia but apparently Larry the inept intern struck again and it's going to be announced internationally soon. Man, Square Enix is really dedicated to putting out PHYSICAL VERSIONS of their CLASSIC GAMES on the NINTENDO SWITCH HOME VIDEO GAME CONSOLE, isn't it?
I’m gonna make a doom post now!I see zero reason to go into doomposting mode.
If Geno is #7 and Crash is #8, do you think there’s a chance we’ll see Crash at the Game Awards? He feels like a Game Awards worthy character to me.Calm down people, I think fighter #7 and most probably, Geno, will be revealed during from Monday 21 to Friday 25 of September.

Would be epic yes, Crash is a must!If Geno is #7 and Crash is #8, do you think there’s a chance we’ll see Crash at the Game Awards? He feels like a Game Awards worthy character to me.
On the contrary, I see plenty of reason to start doomposting.I see zero reason to go into doomposting mode.
