We had April for MK8, Smash4 and that one game that came out for 3DS. ^^
exactly, I don't think that Hyrule warriors deserves a whole month of directs to itself. This is the last set of directs b4 the 3ds release in Japan.

April 30th. ^^
okay, I'm just silly. So maybe a couple days/weeks after the Hyrule warriors direct??

PS: sakurai's bday is on sunday... reveal??? no???

I know this is off topic, but I really can't wait for the Hyrule Warrior's Direct, I want to see if there'll be a decent storhline going on. Eitherway, they been had me sold and I also do hope we get aanother Smash Direct. After all, if I was a game dev and knew my stuff wold be leaked, I'd leak it myself before anyone else does.

Well, I'm personally hoping for a Zelda newcomer reveal at the end of the hyrule warriors trailer, but I guess we'll find out.
idk, I really don't see that happening for some reason. I feel like we may get a mini direct for smash.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if our next Smash Direct is in October, don't get me wrong but I've seen most of you on the WiiU release date forums and if it was to release on November 21st then I don't see why we should have just a 3DS focused direct. After SmashRun and the 3DS trailer, I personally have seen enough. The WiiU version being hyped up right now this month just seems a tad bit off for me.

Yeah idk to be honest. I'm not gonna hype myself for this one. There's definitely going to be a character reveal in August imo, but if it does happen to be a Zelda newcomer it would be opportune to put it at the end of the Hyrule Warriors direct.

i hyped for the direct just because i plan on getting hyrule warriors, but im surprised its getting a direct because of how often koei is putting out info for the game.

Instead of giving us a trailer, they can just give us Ganondorf via pic of the day on Monday or Release. ^^

I've never actually played a 'Warriors' style game before, so I can't say I'm hyped for it. However, it does look like a fun game to get into, and being Zelda themed will make it easier. Might do that to hold me over to smash. If I finish Bravely Default xD

If we see ganondorf as an update that day, I'd bet on there being no zelda newcomer.

You'll never know, I think there'll be one due to the fact they showed a Kid Icarus Trophy and we got Palutena, then they Showed a Fire Emblem Trophy and we got Lucina and Robin. Now all we need is out Metroid and Zelda newcomer.

Back on topic though, does anyone else think the next direct will ne October if not August?

That could be complete coincidence though, lol. As much as I would love it to be true (because Ridley), I'm not going to give it any real attention until we get all 4 newcomers haha.

I'll begin giving the trophy theory more credibility the moment we get the most unlikely of the bunch: A Zelda newcomer. A Fire Emblem newcomer was guaranteed all along and everyone pretty much knew that, and Palutena was always incredibly likely right from the start too, so it doesn't say much to me that we have those two.

They could pull a Roy and give us that Lana girl from Hyrule Warriors as newcomer/promotion.
And Ridley because Ridley.

Edit: Nevermind, it wouldn't be pulling a Roy, Hyrule Warriors will be out by time Smash is in all regions.

Hyrule Warriors is a little too new for that to be possible, I think.

Yeah. The newcomers are pretty amazing so far. Still, I've been hoping for Ridley since '06; I'd love for it to finally happen xD

Roy was in Melee before he was in Fire Emblem. But at a second glance, that wouldn't be the case here, as Hyrule Warriors will be out before Smash.

They could still do it, though.

Eh, I dunno, would they actually include a character from a one-time spin-off game into Smash? I imagine that if they want a Zelda newcomer they're going to pick one from the main line, like Tetra or Ganon.

Goron could be really good too, now that I think about it, he's been recurring.

I'd hope not, since we already have other forms of Tetra and Ganon in the game (Toon Link returning is bad enough).
Definitely room for other major characters, though. A Majora's Mask-inspired Link is always an option, or some of the characters from Skyward Sword (I've not played it yet, though, so it's pointless for me to list candidates). But of course, Anju is the best choice.:bee:

They could also pick someone from the Zelda shown at E3 this year, and blow everyone out of the water with the impossibility to predict it. That would actually be pretty cool.

Sakurai does tend to like promoting recent/upcoming games, though. With Hyrule Warriors being in most of August, and Metroid's anniversaries being in August, those two seem the most likely.

I personally think Toon Link returning is wonderful. After all, if he wasn't returning then I wouldn't see a point of even having two Links. Getting someone from Zelda 2015 though... omg... I'd go nuts.

August is before October, you know that right? And no, the game will be released in Japan on September 13, so I believe it will be in late August

I think that a Hyrule Warriors direct existing, combined with the fact that the game is being released in a month and a half, make a second Smash Direct likely in August.

Why? Because last time there were game specific directs, there were three in the same month; The release date makes the chance that one of the three being a Smash direct a bit higher.

We could be seeing more accurate (than the demos) gameplay footage.

No you said "in October, if not August"
Pretty sure you read left to right. :)
"In Octoer, if not in Augst" meaning October, if not this month. Wtf please don't be that person. Bad enough I barely post in these threads because people always find something to make a debate out of something. Either way I know myself more than you do and know what I was saying, other than what YOU thought I was trying to say.

No need to pull a stunt like that... honestly, I wasn't being a prick so no need for you to be one. Or am I also reading your post wrong. .-.

I think we will have a Smash Direct sometime in the next 2 weeks, and then we will have one 1-3 weeks after that.

Edit: Also, I wouldn't past the Hyrule Warriors Direct to show Ganondorf as a playable character in both Dynasty Warriors 9: Hyrule Edition and Smash 4.

If they don't do a full-blown second Smash Direct this month, or a general Direct, they might just pull another Robin and just directly stream the last few trailers.

I just want the two characters in the spoiler tag in my sig to be revealed in the same trailer if anything. Since they share a series, as Lucina and Robin did, which is why the two-in-one.

No doubt we're getting some Smash info from the HW direct. Gannondorf might get a reveal like Sonic got. No CGI, just gameplay. And if he does, it's probably because he's been redone quite a bit.

There is doubt, quite a bit of it. We didn't get any Smash news in the Wonderful 101, Mario Kart, or Pokemon Directs, and I doubt we will get anything now.

I was honestly just trying to be funny. Apparently my sense of humor doesn't appeal to you, so I apologize. Also sorry, I'm a real nazi about those kinds of things...

The W101 direct was actually a weekly thing in Japan. Ever notice how the video is all divided up? Then the Pokemon direct was basically an extended Iwata asks. The MK direct didn't have anything related that's significant enough to reveal. In fact, the Rosalina trailer could of been intended for the MK direct. It'd make more sense then it just floating out in the middle of a regular Direct.

The point is that Zelda is long overdue for something big in Smash, and this would be the best time to show it.

There was a Tomodachi Life Direct a mere two days after the Smash Direct, so having Directs back-to-back like that is not unheard of.

We're getting a HW Direct in a few days, so maybe a Smash 3DS Direct will follow soon after.

Since it is a Hyrule Warriors direct, if there is any Smash reveals, it will be Ganondorf returning to the fray and possibly a new Zelda stage. I'm pretty sure Tingle is already confirmed as an Assist Trophy again.
I don't think we need another Zelda fighter, besides Ganondorf, in my opinion.

Yeah I think there will at least be a general Nintendo Direct
