Official Nintendo Direct Discussion Thread - 9/23/21

[NonSpecificGuy]

Was just about to say this.

Maybe no Smash news at all.

I highly doubt that. Considering the time frame of character announcements thus far, and the fact that there’s a Dorect VERY close to the 2 month date they usually take to reveal a character I’d say an announcement on Smash is a pretty safe prediction.

 

[Deleted member]

The end is nigh.

Fass in your seatbelts.

For one last ride.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

That first reveal in the direct is always nerve wrecking as it’s always “not actual game footage” so no one knows if it’ll be smash or a game announcement. It’s gonna be absolutely nerve wrecking.

Bro I had that feeling when they first revealed Splatoon 3
I saw the desert and thought something like "Prince of Persia!?" I think LOL

 

[Jondolio]

Okay, show of hands; does any of you guys have this playing in the background?

...I do.

 

[CrankyMankey]

My vibe rn... end of an era.

 

[Aurane]

You guys are pretty pumped. Wish I could generate that same energy. Lol

 

[Noipoi]

If it’s not an outright character reveal they’ll announce a presentation to reveal it.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

No last minute leaks, it seems
Yay!

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Nah, I'm listening to Bury the Light. Attempting to wield Vergil to get in, after all, he is the storm that is approaching.

 

[subterrestrial]

I will hysterically laugh for about an hour if there’s no smash news

only an hour tho

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Okay, so, being as this is potentially the final hours before we find out the final character, I figured I should join in on the fun and give me thoughts so they are written down before hand in case they are right.

So first things first, let me state that we are not guaranteed a character today. papagenos goes over this in his video and the crew over at Gamexplain also tackles this idea. I honestly would not be surprised if we only get a date here for a future Smash only event.

But…

If we do get our final character revealed today I think one of two options will occur.

1. A Nintendo character

This is a Nintendo Direct that is not E3, so this make me feel like a Nintendo character is most likely. I see a Zelda character or a Pokémon rep as most likely. Waluigi would come in a third.

As for a surprise? I could see an Advanced Wars rep as we draw closer to the release of the remake, and I believe we are missing the Advanced Wars Assist Trophy? Other than that King Boo or Porky for various reasons or even Isaac as a dark horse could fit the bill.

2. SMT V Rep

If it is not a Nintendo Rep, this is the other pick that I could easily see happen. This is exactly what I would expect Nintendo to think is a high note ending. It is third party therefore a guest star, and it is being heavily endorsed in their directs. Honestly, I still feel
like this is the most likely character.

But who I want the most?

Master Chief

As the game has evolved from Nintendo’s All-Stars Fighter to Video Games the Video Game, this feels like the best character to round thing as out.

 

[Gnateb]

Dark Souls 10th anniversary, and then a Nintendo direct. Good week for me!

 

[KingBooGengar57]

Five minutes until the storm

 

[Shroob]

Alright, 5 minutes.


All or nothing time.

 

[Technomage]

Oohhh, the wait is making my chest heavy, like there's a Xenomorph developing inside it. 0.0

 

[BlazGreen]

Whether a new character gets revealed or not, this place will be a bloodbath and I'm all for it. Also, please reveal Monolith's new project!

 

[GilTheGreat19]

5 minutes
MonkaW

[TCT~Phantom]

Five minutes with no Sakurai retweet. Brace for nothing.

 

[KillerCage]

I'm going into this Direct expecting no FP11 reveal.
Let's see if I'm proven right or wrong.

Also I hope there are no spoilers for Metroid Dread... or else.

 

[Noipoi]

[Jondolio]

Okay, show of hands; does any of you guys have this playing in the background?

It just finished looping for me.
See you guys on the other side.

 

[Lamperouge]

Truly fitting for Ultimate speculation's end...

I watch alone or with IRL friends, but always on Nintendo's stream.

Anyways see y'all on the other side.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

2 minutes left. Let's see if we get a fighter. Good luck to y'all wanting your favourite character.

Last chance for everyone! Lets go.

I don't think it's him, but a lawyer never cries until it's over.
