Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Potato_]

Alrighty, direct predictions:

- 15-20 min on Three Houses. Release Date, more info on the main lords and supporting characters, amiibo support, the works.
- Star Fox Grand Prix announced, with a release date in the summer.
- Metroid Prime Trilogy also announced with a release date in the next 2 or 3 months.
- Various Nindies, ports, and other miscellaneous things go here. Stuff like FF port release dates for example.
- Joker gameplay trailer. Sakurai shows up for a bit, talks about how happy he is with Ultimate's sales and reception, and goes over Joker as a character. He says that's all he has for today, but announces that there will be a Smash Direct in the near future.
- But one more thing! "Brave" is teased, revealed to be Erdrick. No gameplay or even a model is shown.

I tried to mix a bit of optimism with care. I think Pokemon will get its own presentation by Game Freak, and E3 seems like the best time for more Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion. I'm betting on the 2D Zelda being shown there too, but who knows.

 

[Chrono.]

Eh.

I like Echo Fighters and even think we could've had one or two more (RIP Shadow) but for DLC? IDK

They'd have to cost less than Piranha Plant seeing as they're literally clones. But on the other hand, they also cost resources as they'd still have unique animations and maybe even voices depending on the character. After that comes dealing with possible backlash, for either selling glorified costumes or for not making them part of the pack.

I feel like Ultimate Alliance 3 will be in the Direct somehow.

Aren't the characters about 5 to 6 dollars as is? 5 without a stage, 6 with?

Seems like 2-3 dollars for an echo would be fair. They still take work to make, after all.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

That’d still be confusing if there’s an inkling in the match too

That’s why it wouldn’t stay nearly as long, evaporating about as quickly as Olimar’s helmet gets fixed after being hit.

Get ready, nerds

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I work at BK. Can confirm that this is happening.

 

[Z25]

What would you do if Nintendo was like:

“Joker is available right now!”

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

That reminds me, I gotta make sure to try and get one of each Rabbid toy~

 

[Z25]

I hope we finally see ace attorney 7 in the direct. I want to see where they go with it

 

[Megadoomer]

What would you do if Nintendo was like:

“Joker is available right now!”

Pick up where I left off in Persona 5, so I can get some context for who Joker is. (I just started the "how we got here" flashback, and I feel like that's going to take up about 2/3 of the game)

 

[Z25]

I’m interested in playing persona five sometime. I’m waiting to see if the port happens though

 

[Wario Bros.]

Alright, time to try out the Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee demo.

 

[Zeox]

Prediction:
Starts with Fire Emblem
Talk about secundary indie games and also Yoshi because Yoshi is Yoshi
Then they talk about Xbox and Switch stuff
Then they drop a new Zelda or, I dunno, a freaking remake of Majora's Mask (this time, isntead of 3DS, in Switch)
The last thing is Smash, talk about Joker, and end the direct with a trailer of the next DLC Character, Erdrick, Banjo, Sora, a new FE character, whatever it is.

I fight every urge to rush to my Switch and instead finish my paper like a responsible adult. Which would be painful.

That being said I doubt it'll happen.

Pretty much yeah. There's a LOT of setup to get to that particular point.

And Joker as a character is largely a blank slate. There's some background info about him you learn but the vast majority of it is left ambiguous, probably for you to fill in yourself.

 

[Ura]

Get ready, nerds

TFW Aurane is a shill pick to promote BK's new game.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Back from the Pokémon Let's Go demo.

They weren't kidding saying it feels like a big downgrade and being really easy. And I don't like the controls either.

I'll just wait for the generation 8 games, thank you.

Same. Never cared about Lets Go and i'm just waiting on Gen 8 to arrive.

I mean I think it's fair, you think it's fair.

Dunno if the majority feel that way though.

OK so this is a rare sentiment from me and I'm gonna get a lot of side eye from Opossum but I've been watching an episode or two of Critical Role once in a while over the past couple weeks and

Matthew Mercer has better hair than Chrom.

 

[praline]

Probably freak out.

Cori, I'm pretty sure Matthew Mercer himself is a god considering how much of a beast he is

 

[Chrono.]

“Joker is available right now!”

Would feel pretty glad I held off on spending my eshop money.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

What would you do if Nintendo was like:

I'll potentially have a heart attack.

 

[Mythra]

Literally save my money.

 

[Opossum]

I mean it's Matt Mercer. A king can't compare to a god.

Ever wonder what Sephiroth would be like? Say no more.

 

[Ura]

Ever wonder what Sephiroth would be like? Say no more.

Marth is jelly watching this.

 

[praline]

60 minutes boiz

 

[Androobie]

Marth is jelly watching this.

His grab range is still longer.

 

[Ura]

Just under an hour to go until the Direct. Gonna re-post my predictions here. Hopefully I get an 80-90% success rate.

Direct Predictions ft. Microsoft Paint...

His grab range is still longer.

True true.

 

[KMDP]

Ever wonder what Sephiroth would be like? Say no more.

Fortunately, Sephiroth wouldn't move nearly as fast as that.

He's the methodical type, and would be super floaty.

That being said, the range would still be silly.

 

[praline]

Man these guys working on a room in my house is annoying. He keeps going in the room I am in so now I’m locked away so I can’t be bothered.

hey it's my thread so I get to post about it being open

It's actually open this time; both me and Irene went to open it at the same time so it just got locked again, but it works now! :p

 

[Mythra]

Well, good luck with your Direct expectations.
I have some work to do. See you on the other side.

 

[Ura]

Lol no Joker gameplay. They were all like "Yo Joker is training in secret he'll be here by the end of April".

I guess Brave was indeed farther in development then Joker. Lets see if he's revealed here.

EDIT: I think this is where we're going to see Erdrick.

Double EDIT: Lol no.

 

[Luigifan18]

Spoiler

SUPER MARIO MAKER 2 YEAAAAHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

 

[Ura]

FE got delayed again. Crazy for a title that was supposed to release in 2018.

EDIT: Link's Awakening is real after all. And from the looks of it, I think it really was intended to release on the 3DS but got moved to the Switch when they realized the game would fail.

 

[Potato_]

Smash direct is 100% coming, no doubt about it.

Teasing that big Version 3.0 patch with what seemed like new modes and Joker? Seems direct worthy to me.

Pretty good direct tbh. Loved Mario Maker 2 and Three Houses, and that Tetris Battle Royale was a pleasant surprise ( I didn't think I'd ever write that seriously.)

Also I AM FREAKING OUT AT ASTRAL CHAIN AND LINKS AWAKENING
