Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

Hmmm no direct news...

Hmmm no direct news...

Maybe give it a few minutes? I remember occasions it wasn’t at 10 AM on the dot

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Hmmm no direct news...

Dude its only been 10 for a few minutes give it some time...

 

[zferolie]

Yeah i guess it not being on 10 right on the dot isn't a big deal. Still watching it

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Guys. It's still 9:00 AM. Go back to bed.

 

[StarBot]

Another leaker proven to be uncreditable

 

[chocolatejr9]

Guys. It's still 9:00 AM. Go back to bed.

I mean, I guess you could argue that they'd announce it at 11. But still, I don't think the investors are gonna be happy...

 

[TheShiningAbsol]

Wouldn’t the announcement tweet be an hour later now for most of us because of Daylight Savings? So in ~50 minutes

 

[zferolie]

So why do we keep believing these leaks lol. Because we are starved for info. I dont care for animal crossing so i want to see what else Nintendo has. Its fascinating how nintendo seems to not want to say anything about this year. Maybe they really have nothing

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

I had a dream today about a trailer for Nia in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was just her saying she wanted to join. There was no gameplay, no splash art, nothing else. There was something funny about her speech, but I can't remember what it was.

She didn’t have her Welsh accent?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

real talk, New Horizions has already been sucking me in big time, not sure if I'd be able to handle a Direct this week on top of that

I honestly don't mind waiting another week or two

if we get a completely Directless April, then I'll start having real concerns

This reads like the beginning of a creepy pasta.

There are a lot of people who don't give a damn about animal crossing

 

[andree123]

Man, what week in April will Nintendo announce the General Direct? It seems like they delayed it.

 

[PeridotGX]

Direct... Lose
We... Lose

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

She didn’t have her Welsh accent?

Um...I think she did actually. The funny thing had to do with what she said. I think it was some sort of statement that made very little logical sense. Dang! Now I wish I had written it down before going back to sleep.

 

[clearandsweet]

TotalWarbros, it's finally time for Total War General to shine

Not over Space Harrier Dude, c'mon be realistic.

(I've said it before on this thread, but I'll say it again, I'm sad Valkyria Chronicles is not more popular.)

Actually, now that I think about it, my other favorite SEGA-tangentially-associated property is probably Vanillaware's Odin's Sphere. Gwyndolyn... would actually be amazing for Smash.

Though I do think the Blades should have a bit more agency than just giving Rex his weapon of choice.

Blades are kind of dumb in the game. Like, they can't be targeted and are invulnerable when they're doing the channeling biddness. They just stand there until you use a big move and it just makes no sense if you think about it or in the context of Smash or even in the game itself it's kind of awkward and lame GIVE ME FINCH YOU COWARDS

Watch now we wait until June.

 

[Seanapotamus]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Any thoughts?

*checks time*
Unless there's an afternoon announcement, this aged poorly.

At least we have Animal Crossing to play and we'll have pink spirits this week. Gotta remember the world is going through a tough time right now.

Keep in mind that April Directs have happened before. Maybe we'll see next week if there's a Direct. And the week after that. And the following week. Or the drought may last until the summer.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

What if in this new decade they just decided to drop directs all together because it's cheaper to just upload the ads to the YouTube channel?
*thinking emoji*

 

[whitesnake]

Nah if they’re adding a pokemon it has to be toad. He’s the most iconic pokemon

the thread as a whole is not about pokemon

 

[RileyXY1]

That wouldn't make sense financially.

Is Jeff Grubb even an insider? Lemme check his profile

doesn’t look like it. He seems to be mostly ****posting

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

them into the second quarter with pretty much nothing already isn't making much financial sense as it stands

 

[Michael the Spikester]

That wouldn't make sense financially.

I mean given everything that's happening now its not that far fetched.

 

[Opossum]

No. 10 est IS the "one hour later" version. It'd be 9 est otherwise.

 

[RileyXY1]

They also can't save everything for June because E3 is cancelled.

 

[DanganZilla5]

I wouldn't count out a direct just yet. They announced the Animal Crossing direct later than usual. I say we still got a couple more hours until we can officially hit the nail on the coffin for a March direct.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Event wise yes but chances are they're gonna go the direct-route for it.

That was for a specific game direct, then again specific game directs were announced in the morning last year, like Pokémon...

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

the thread as a whole is not about pokemon

No but you responded to a post about Pokémon in a way that makes it sound like you're calling King Boo a Pokémon. That's why the joke about Toad.

EDIT: Real talk though: I think King Boo would be a super fun character.

 

[RileyXY1]

Event wise yes but chances are they're gonna go the direct-route for it.

It would be better to do it in September if that is the case.

 

[Gentlepanda]

gee whiz it's almost like there's a worldwide pandemic disrupting almost every company's financial operations or something and the japanese government's been handling it ****ing awfully up until two days ago because they wanted to make the country appear safe for the olympics

they probably intended to have a direct this month but practically every company's schedule has been thrown way out of whack

 

[Opossum]

It would be better to do it in September if that is the case.

And that would be because...?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

It would be better to do it in September if that is the case.

That's assuming if what's happening now still doesn't continue by then.

 

[RileyXY1]

And that would be because...?

There would likely not be anything Nintendo related in June. I think that they would mainly focus on the PS5 and XBox Series X that are both set to launch this year.

I legitimately have no idea what you're talking about. Nintendo wouldn't avoid having an E3 Direct because other companies are revealing things. That's never been the way it has worked.

 

[wynn728]

Surprise, it was nothing.

What a ridiculous move to have Byleth be your final announcement knowing it was going to get massive backlash, have Vol 2 available for purchase, and show nothing about it for a couple of months now. I can feel the love from Sakurai.

Jesus Christ get over yourself. The world doesn't revolve around you.
