So far the new Monster Hunter game looks sick. I have been getting kind of tired of Monster Hunter recently but that new wire mechanic changes so much. I'm actually hyped.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Super Smash Bros., but I don't think the true reason is that jaded.

At first seeing the trailer, I could have sworn it was Yuri's dog from Tales of Vesperia.

They said there were no plans to.
A very different statement.
Not that it couldn't happen.

Can't wait til this thread thinks there gonna be a Disgaea newcomer because of the free demo for NSO users
"ARMS had a NSO trail!! And then we got a charatcehr!! So that totes means the same for the Disgaea!!"

I straight up said "Is that Repede!?" When the trailer started, lol. The new MH doggo looks so much like him!

So Nintendo gave Monster Hunter alot of attention. Can't think of too many 3rd parties that get their own Directs. Apparently they already existed in Japan, but the fact they are advertising this in the West as well might be a Sign
If Nintendo had hand in choosing the DLC for FP2, and Nintendo is focusing alot of attention of Monster Hunter, well...

I'm not even saying that to be cynical, I just think Microsoft sensed that Ori had real appeal to Nintendo fans and that getting it on the Switch sooner rather than later was simply logical. I'd love for this to suggest more Microsoft games/characters to Switch but the only thing I feel safe in making assumptions about is the immediate financial benefit to both companies.

It's clear at this point. Monster Hunter will be our next fighter.
Why give it this much attention? So technically speaking we got our next character revealed so I'm satisfied knowing who it is now. Now onto speculating FP8.

This isn't a new game though, they already promised we would get the sequel of Omri when the first one released lol

I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a dog, wolf, or cat.
I guess the answer was yes.
Because it's a big game? This doesn't really mean anything for Super Smash Bros.

Also factor in on these amiibos coming out on the 26th.

Because it's insanely popular, particularly in Japan, and releases like Monster Hunter World helped to increase its popularity worldwide.

That doesn't really point to anyone specific either.

NIS America had its own standalone trailer for Disgaea 6. I dont know if maybe my connection got weaker while watching the Direct, but the Standalone trailer made the character models look a lot better. I feel a little better about Disgaea 6's switch to 3D models now. Don't know if it'll be entirely good in the end, but at least they look better than I initially thought.

Monster Hunter is big in Japan and has become really huge in America these past few years; Smash fighter or not, giving it this much focus is just good marketing and financial sense.

Not everything is about Smash Bros.
MH is a huge series. It getting it's own Direct is hardly surprising or weird IMO.

With Disgaea 6 being shown off in this direct mini, Laharl is probably going to be brought up a bit more in Smash speculation now.
Could see it happening tbh. NISA has been supporting the Switch with yearly Disgaea releases.

The only thing disappointing about this Partner Showcase was no Bayonetta 3, with the M rating in the direct being for some Sniper Game.

Hey, I'm down for getting Laharl added.
Pretty much, Tencent did give RFA tons of attention in a China-exclusive Ring Fit Direct (yes). And the Ring Fit Direct aired last month, after Ring Fit had been Spirit-ed.Games
(Edit: Yes, circumstances are a bit different, but my main point still stands.)
Don't rush to conclusions just yet.

Monster Hunter looks great already. It was worth it to lug myself out of bed at 7. I'm thinking that it'll be more beginner-friendly than Generations Ultimate, but I'll have to wait until I know more.

You serious or just making fun of those who thought Smash news was coming?

At this point I'm convinced the game was just a collective fever dream that everyone simultaneously had. It never existed.
Anyways, Monster Hunter looks solid.

Everyone will keep asking for the MH character for Smash only to be blindsinded by the Rune Factory fighter coming next week.

Traditionally, DLC characters only release alongside Smash and other first-Party amiibo (if included with Smash amiibo.) Third-Party amiibo are usually treated as a seperate thing. Afaik, Shovel Knight amiibo released during Smash's DLC cycle and nothing happened near that.

The one thing I'm iffy on regarding Monster Hunter and Smash is that Rathalos already does a pretty good job representing the series, all things considered.
It's all about the monsters. I'm assuming this is also why the dev team was so hesitant on adding a Hunter to to the VS series for the longest time prior to Infinite .
Don't get me wrong it could still happen, but I'm honestly not feeling it rn

Likely because they're not compatible with the game.
Thumbs up overall.
There was a solid mix of titles in this one. Although not everyone's going to like say Monster Hunter, Balan, Sniper or PGA the amount of titles will help complement Mario 35th and AoC during the holiday season up until March.
I'll write a full writeup on each game soon, but overall the best Partner Showcase. Not that there's that much competition, but a step up from August.
