Well, the DMC twitter teasing multiple dates to check out due to new exclusive Switch features like a seemingly leaked Style Switching feature(which for the record, thank ****ing god as that removes one of the biggest issues I have with DMC3)
My parents introduced my family to the NES.
I think it would be best for everyone if we don't discuss about this on this website. This isn't really a website about politics.
My family loves Nintendo games, so they gave them to me to play as soon as I was old enough to hold a controller. Oldest gaming memory I got is playing Super Mario 64.
Alts already have different voices when they have one(poor Alph suffers due to that alone. I like him as an alt, but I do agree he should have a voice, same with Olimar). Their animations sometimes look almost different with the male/female variants, but they're the same. Alts at most can have some pretty cool stuff, like Meta Ridley, but they're extremely limited because they must have the same gameplay differences.
Among the games and consoles I inherited from my older brother were an N64 and a Game Boy Color (as well as a Genesis, a Dreamcast, and a Game Gear, plus many PC games.)

I think this strongly suggests we aren't getting the new character until after the amiibo release. Seems like we're waiting a little bit longer.
Man Alpharad's got this one in the bag huh?
Hard DK shall eliminate the weaklings.
Yeah, some additional small differences for echoes would be nice. We kind of have to discuss alts rather than echoes currently due to where the DLC seems to be heading, though, so I’d like to see what ways alts could be more unique (although, as you said, they can always just reference other colors via color schemes, so they can always just turn to that.)
Basically another Joker/Hero situation right? As both came out after the amiibo release of the month.
Pretty much. The new character probably won't be released until the 20th at the earliest. February is also a possibility.
I feel Hero is a great example of the most you can do at this point. No overly weird costume pieces that stick out too much, preventing hitbox/hurtbox issues(or issues that people might mistake something for one of those). The thing with alts is there's a really tiny amount of stuff you can do. Any alt with unique voice clips take extra work, same with using more than a quick color change(though they still take work). As noted, Meta Ridley is a big change. The actual costume wasn't even in the demos, which considering the extra polygons needed, makes sense.
scenario 1 it is
I hope that it isn't Sword and Shield content only.
I'd love Pokemon Snap 2/Switch/Remake/Whatever. Simple, but it'd be a great way to get all the models onto the Switch, which at least would give Gamefreak more time to transfer them over in the long run(if that becomes the decision by Masuda, who actually did say he wasn't sure if he wanted the full Pokedex back).
Geno being the "last of the old guard" is extremely revisionist history. There are plenty of characters that have been popularly requested since pre-Brawl that are still not in yet, and actually managed to retain more consistently their popularity than Geno did (who to be fair I am strongly expecting to be DLC). Isaac was just as popularly requested as Geno was during pre-Brawl, and much more requested than him during pre-Smash 4 and the ballot period. Krystal was more requested than Geno during pre-Brawl, and more requested during pre-Smash 4.
You mean the 16th?
If it's next week, it'll likely be somewhere between the 14th and 16th. I don't think Directs are usually on Mondays or Fridays, certainly not on the weekends.
They said February was the latest it would be out, not that it would only release during that month.
Maybe they'll officially reveal Gigantamax Toxtricity and Gigantamax Melmetal. I wouldn't expect much more besides that. Remember when they had a 24-hour stream just to reveal one new regional form?
Yeah my bad lol, 16th of January.
I exaggerated the thing on purpose, the post is not completely serious, I said I wrote it as a copypasta. Anyway, it still annoy me that the character added to each iteration of Smash seem to not be balanced enough. I mean, we got the character to please the western online community, Ridley... then we got the character to please the western online community, King K Rool, and after that, we got the character to please the western online community, Banjo & Kazooie. Along with that, we got a Street Fighter character, a Pokèmon based on a Street Fighter character, and another fighting game character who uses similar mechanics as the Street Fighter ones. And since those characters are not enough, we also got 2 JRPG characters in the same fighter pass, and FP5 is not even known, it might be a third JRPG character even! Or another fighting game character... or both at the same time, if it's from Grand Blue.
Indeed. I'm starting to get why Incineroar was hated on reveal.
In fact the post was exaggerated. There are some characters I like; Plant and Inkling are my favorite of the set because of their unique playstyle, and I think Hero is interesting due to the spell gimmick (though I don't like how they implemented it, random spells and having to select them through a menu, I think the Monado Arts are way better designed).
I like simple characters as well when they are well done, though I'm still disappointed with the current roster, because I'm interested only in a couple of the newcomers and I don't care of the rest. As I said above, I'm not refering to the moveset but to the selection criteria in general. Some movesets are fine, it's just that I'm not interested in the characters... I don't think I'd play as Ridley or as the Belmonts regardless of the moveset, simply because they aren't my type of characters. I'm happy that Ridley is finally in, so Metroid feels more complete, but I wasn't a supporter, I'm indifferent to it.
If it happens to be the case that the character is too buggy for a proper trailer, I’d still be kind of curious about what some of those bugs are (although, that’s more so a thing they’d post on their Twitter or in the Mr. Sakurai Presents than in a Direct.) Might be amusing to see a more comprehensive glitch montage or something eventually, as well.
Thing is, if a character is too buggy to have a trailer ready in less than a month, then you know ****'s REALLY bad. Characters don't need to be finished to make a trailer, merely presentable, and if you aren't at that point, something's gone horribly wrong
What's weird is that this notification doesn't expire until the end of the month. Typically, these types of notifications expire within a week's time.
