I know this is sad, but what if the Smash series is... over?
Then thank god

Its not over. Not by a long shot. Its one of Nintendo's most successful titles. Just because they didn't reveal it now doesn't mean they won't later. And when they do, it'll be in a bigger event. After all, this was just a mini direct.

I'm surprised that it was a direct mini but it wasn't that bad. One big first party title being teased that's new like Fire Emblem would have been nice, but it was still good for a mini.

Really glad to see TWEWY on switch. That's a big surprise and something I wanted to play after KH DDD had the characters in it. So I'll be picking this up.

Pokken is cool, I'll probably buy the DLC as I had the game on my switch awhile now.

Kirby still looks good.

Not surprised with HW it sold great on both systems and will sell good here I'm sure.

Mario tennis may be good again.

Tropical Freeze surprised me but makes sense.

Odyssey DLC may be fun.

Dark souls I thought was coming, but expected GTA to be announced first.

Overall fairly good direct, can't wait for the next full blown direct.

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but this is pretty nice straw-grasping answer to Nintendo's recent tweets
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Damn this guy hit it right on the head! Guess we can't fully dismiss theories like this.
I double down to The Wonderful 102 being announced
Well, for W101 there was that new art of it that hinted at a Switch port. Which also came with that Bayonetta art that people linked to a possible Switch port.

The latter (plus a sequel) ended up happening, would not be shocked to see it happening with 101.
This is why I expected it in this direct, if it wasn't a mini I could have seen it happen. Perhaps next direct, as I think it is still happening.

I wish Hyrule Warriors had come with a full BotW pack, character(s) included. I'd double dip if that was the case. That game was decent fun. Now... ehhh... idk. Games are too expensive nowadays. :(

Let it be known I called this almost exactly a year ago though lol
We may see some new content before release, the 3ds one had a few surprises.

Did I miss the salt mines?

To be honest I'm pretty satisfied by the Direct especially considering it was a Mini. I'm fully expecting another full Direct relatively soon, maybe February, probably March, where we'll get some bigger scale announcements. I feel like this was kind of like 'Hey, don't worry this is what you can play the next couple of months.' just to satisfy owners for the early year.

Then I'd suggest looking out your window towards the sky to see any flying pigs passing by because that ****s never gonna happen.

It's been less than two years since the last Smash content drop, people just need to chill. We used to have to go like six and seven years between Smash games. I'm still of the mind we'll see a Smash 4 port... now presumably at E3. Maybe it's tied to the online launch.
After seeing more ports today, I have to agree.
A Smash port still isn't too farfetched.

Oh?
So apparently in the next chapter of FEHeroes, the Askr siblings' father is mentioned and even has a name. King Gustav. So with Sharena's comment about their mother, it appears both their father and mother are alive. Whether they stay alive or not is yet to be determined.

Direct thoughts:

Twewy wtf is that I don't care.
Kirby environments look great but gameplay ok.
Mario tennis looks pretty. But spinoff that isn't Kart or Mansion.
Some random anime games.
Pokken dlc! Nice
DQ demo!!!! Downloading but no buy cos I never play Minecraft/terraria type games for more than a few hours.
HW Good idea but surprised it's this year!

DKTF awesome port. Might get it someday one of few Wii U games i missed out on. But only just got my switch and 3 of 4 of my games are platformers. And I don't have Mario yet. Chances are if I don't buy this year I'll get 2020 since 2019 is looking HUGE.

(Metroid Bayonetta maybe Pokémon. Probs Smash Bros. Maybe maybe Animal Crossing tho don't care for last bit)

Dark Souls. Great 3rd party.

Surprised how many titles in a mini too.

Meh. 4/10

.....
Now end Mario Rabbits with a Rayman DLC.
Closest thing to a 3D Rayman....

Thanks for the new avatar, Nintendo (surprised I wasn't tagged for that, lol).

Anywho, thoughts time:
  • The World Ends with You - I know there's a strong demand for a sequel but it's nice that Square Enix still cares for it. Not interested.
  • Pokkén Tournament DX - Cool to see it getting some extra, and fun looking, characters. Maybe I'll pick the game up sooner.
  • Kirby: Star Allies - I want this game even moar.
  • Hyrule Warriors: Definite Edition - Noice as well as the Breath of the Wild costumes. Will I actually triple dip?
  • Mario Tennis Aces - A Mario Tennis that's actually worth buying again? Dem outfits! And thank you for the return of a story mode (but I'm not really seeing RPG elements though).
  • Ys VIII: Lacrimosa - Not interested
  • Super Mario Odyssey - The lack of Luigi in the game felt super wrong but it's good to see it's been fixed (not how I expected, though).
  • SNK Heroines: Tag Team - A King of Fighters XIV like game on the Switch is surprising.
  • Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle - Not close to the character I was expected but still looks exciting. Now I'm REALLY buying the season pass (but what happened to that January 16 date?).
  • Payday 2 - Not interested.
  • Fe & Celeste - Not interested.
  • Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - Nice to see a great game get ported with a cool mode. Funky Kong looks super broken (just like in Mario Kart Wii). This BETTER not be Retro Studios' secret project.
  • Dark Souls: Remastered - Not interested but I know this is big news for many.
And of the mystery of the Chibi-Robo on fire is still unsolved (and I think the hot dog man was just a red herring).

Alternatively, maybe a cross-promotion with the main series will happen and we'll get Zeraora.

Violet Evergarden is so ****ing beautiful, like, seriously, I can't express how beautiful it is, not just its visuals or music, but on its whole atmosphere and the story it wants to tell.
It's on Netflix and is the first time they're simulcasting an anime, so give the first episode a watch at the very least.

Fittingly enough, it also works as a great contrast to Devilman Crybaby's dark, violent, horny and rough style with a light, calming, pure and polished style.
So apparently in the next chapter of FEHeroes, the Askr siblings' father is mentioned and even has a name. King Gustav. So with Sharena's comment about their mother, it appears both their father and mother are alive. Whether they stay alive or not is yet to be determined.
This just begs the question of who let these kids go around unsupervised.

Do we even have to ask questions we already know the answer to?

Well, I think it's reasonable to ask such questions. After all:
-If something happens to the mother, what would happen with Sharena's comment about her mother? Would they bother to change it to mention her in passing rather than in present tense?
-The fact that their father was even named begs the question, "Are they going to do something with him?" I mean, usually when they bother to give a character related to the main character a name, their role in the game or story tends to boost up a whole notch.
-Even if something doesn't happen to Gustav, considering that Gunnthra didn't have an main appearance and was only a voice with a name that claimed to be related to the newest character and yet she became a Legendary Hero, could we have the possibility of Gustav being a Legendary Hero? And to be honest, a Team of Dad/Mom/Son/Daughter would be cool to see.

Either way, questions regarding a named character aren't exactly the ones that already have answers.

Same thing happened to me. Hey look, the audience loves you so you are fortunate. Not me though, because everyone in this thread probably thinks I am "cringey" or whatever. Ah well, I do not care. I hope what I said about everyone viewing me as cringey is false.

I don't even have a reason to care about the Direct when I'm still flooded with games from last year.

I wasn't expecting anything and I didn't have the time to care either. Too much Skyrim, not enough investment.

Call me when E3 happens, that's where I expect anything of interest to pop up. Not like we had a reason to expect anything big yet if it wasn't announced last year, people kept confusing the system's initial rollout announcement for a pattern of some kind.

Eliwood got lucky he only showed up for literally one chapter and then got written out of it. I mean, he doesn't even show up in the ending. 10 bucks on the remake adding him as another Eleventh Hour Ranger just so he can kick Zephiel's ass

Also, we do not talk about THAT game.
And if we want to count mothers, then there's Eliwood's too, dittingly enough(the Pharae house has the lowest mortality rate of all of Elibe, surprisingly)
The fact that their father was even named begs the question, "Are they going to do something with him?" I mean, usually when they bother to give a character related to the main character a name, their role in the game or story tends to boost up a whole notch.
I mean, the fact they gave him a name and only now after so much time leaves that pretty clear. I'm not arguing about his role in the story, I'm arguing that it's pretty clear they're going with the old "kill daddy" route
Even if something doesn't happen to Gustav, considering that Gunnthra didn't have an main appearance and was only a voice with a name that claimed to be related to the newest character and yet she became a Legendary Hero, could we have the possibility of Gustav being a Legendary Hero? And to be honest, a Team of Dad/Mom/Son/Daughter would be cool to see.
I wouldn't mind him being a Legendary Hero tbh, having a character related to ones we know is better than having a random OC who we know nothing about(Fjorm was one thing but Gunthra came out of nowhere and I hope it doesn't become a trend).

Yeah, this board really is pathetic. Any reasonable fanbase would rightfully be ****ing angry at how Nintendo treats the people who buy their products. Nintendo knows they can get away with screwing over anyone who bought their products the first time, and this stupid ****ing fanbase is just going to sit here and lap up their ****ty, no-effort ports that force first-time players to buy the games again. Absolutely ****ing pathetic.

And I know that at least half this forum is going to be triggered by this, and write scathing rebuttals to me because they can't handle the fact their company isn't actually perfect. I can see it now: I'm going to get a bunch of responses detailing about how Nintendo is perfectly in the right to screw over any customers they feel like, and nobody will ever think that letting this **** slide might be a bad thing.

So, I'll say it again: absolutely ****ing pathetic. And with that, I'm out of here.

Breh 2017 had at least one major first party game per month and every new console starts out with ports. Look at the PS4 and Xbox 1's first years of releases
