Official NintenZone's Nintendo Direct Hosting Party

[Soul.]

YO, AS MUCH AS IM MAD FOR NO POKÉMON Z THIS WAS SO HYPE. DAMN MAN.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR DECEMBER NOW YO

 

[epicmartin7]

WOW. THIS BLEW MY EXPECTATIONS OUT OF THE WATER. HOLY ****.

 

[Ivander]

Now that I think of it, you know companies see something special in Smash Bros. if one of the characters most wanted for Playstation All-Stars ended up getting in Smash first.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Cloud still makes more sense than Shovel Knight along the third-party gaming icons we have.

 

[Chrono.]

I'm receiving reports from future telling me that Cloud amiibo are sold out forever.

 

[RamOne]

That was... a big surprise. I'd expected Black Mage as a Final Fantasy character, but Cloud looks cool. But yeah, Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Ryu, Cloud... That's a huge iconic third-party list.

 

[Arcanir]

Just saw the trailer.

Holy crap! Even though I knew he was a very famous and well known character, I never expected Cloud to be playable. That's awesome!

 

[Curious Villager]

So much for Sakurai not being able to surprise us hm? This is Masahiro Sakurai we are talking about of course he can.

Pretty interesting addition I say...

 

[Bedoop]

MIIVERSE WHY
YOU DID THIS, MIIVERSE
MIIIVEERRRRRSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Oasis Dealer]

Well to be fair, Cloud has TECHNICALLY been on Nintendo Consoles.

Kingdom Hearts, the final fantasy musical game, Explorers...

Yeah, but you would always here "Hasn't had a major appearances on Nintendo consoles" as an argument. Now with that out of the way, it seems now it's just popular 3rd party characters as options.

 

[Deleted member]

Smash for Wii U confirmed as the game of the millenium.

 

[BluePikmin11]

R.I.P. Bayonetta on my prediction roster, it was a possibility, but a cloud in the sky shattered her to pieces.

 

[memoryman3]

Okay, I'm redrafting my predictions.

Expect the last two characters to be Naruto and SHREK. You heard it here first folks.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

This was an awesome direct~ Quite happy with the DLC.

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

Smash Bros. is dead to me.

It was dead to me the moment I saw the final release to SSB4.

Also, the Playstations fans must be livid!

 

[Tree Gelbman]

CLOUD STRIFE.

I'LL MORE THAN TAKE IT.

WHEN DOES HE RELEASE.

JUST RELEASE HIM.

I WANT HIM NOW.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

If anyone's still saying RogersBase is alive at this point, they're in denial and just don't want to admit they were wrong or have been had. I think this was a big blow to Shovel Knight, too.

Consideirng the leak stated that he was supposed to be the next character announced, it's dead for good. No rationalisation.

 

[Zekrom101]

Smash Bros. is dead to me.

Smash Bros. is no more, there is only Cool Japanese Anime Dudes Bros.
Now I've completly lost interest in this game that apperantly has no more real NINTENDO characters...
And with that i'm out. See you in never again.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

On a topic no-one is talking about, why did the Nintendo Europe guy call it Pok-Mon? What universe has he been in?

 

[AreJay25]

Btw

R.I.P "Relevancy to Nintendo" argument

For real this time

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

GUYS I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW XD

 

[Fenriraga]

TBA...
TBA?!?!?!?!?!?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
Please guys this is killing me!

 

[LightheartedBum]

Yooooo! Favorite Zelda game on the U hype!!!

Cloud is chill, glad he's made it. So outta left field, I love it.

 

[Deleted member]

Hold on people, nothing says yet he was the only one chosen from the Ballot.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Come to think of it...

@PushDustIn

Wasn't Cloud a popular request in Japan?

 

[Deleted member]

CLOUD! HELL YEAH!

Old Nintendo is back. Best Direct Ever.

Cloud is gonna be my new main. OMNISLASH FOOS

 

[Das Koopa]

You did it, Sakurai. You won. I give up. I can't predict you.

*tears up papers*

EVERYTHING I KNOW IS WRONG

MY LIFE IS A LIE

*throws computer out window*

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Champ Gold]

Smash Bros. is no more, there is only Cool Japanese Anime Dudes Bros.
Now I've completly lost interest in this game that apperantly has no more real NINTENDO characters...
And with that i'm out. See you in never again.

LOL
You'll be back. You can't leave Smashboards, it's impossible bro. What do mean no real Nintendo characters. The roster is filled with them

 

[Chrono.]

Nobody leaked Cloud in Smash because nobody would've believed it and that's kind of beautiful.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Also, can we please now stop acting like iconic status doesn't matter for third-party characters? Once or twice is a coincidence, but all 5 of the third-party characters getting in with significance and recognizability among a wider gaming audience being a coincidence? Not even remotely!

 

[Deleted member]

I NEED MONEY AND SOME WAY TO FIND XENOBLADE X NEAR THE RELEASE DATE
I NEED MONEY FOR FATES
I NEED MONEY FOR SMASH DLC AND POKEMON VC
I NEED MONEY FOR WHATEVER THE **** IS ANNOUNCED ON DECEMBWR

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

****ing. Cloud.

Also idk what happened to Minecraft(wtf PEGI) but I do know I'm staying away from MinecraftForum for awhile....for reasons.

 

[redroses]

God the salt is real for me.
Please, no more swordfighters, and please no more third parties for the next DLC char. I want a Nintendo again. Also, have I mentioned NO swordfighter.

 

[kylexv]

IT'S UP ON THE SITE

http://www.smashbros.com/us/dlc/index.html

The fact that both he and his stage are complete and that they are not out yet pretty much means we're getting another character in December.

 

[FalKoopa]

Remember the days when Cloud and Sora were so mercilessly mocked? Yeah, good times. lol

I'm not mad. I didn't expect one of my favourites to get in, but to think that he would turn years of speculation upside down AGAIN, is just wow.

 

[Bedoop]

Yo
Cloud is hype as ****
And I never would've saw him coming ever
But
It's funny looking back on all the "Cloud pls" jokes
Miiverse has officially won
Sakurai, you officially hyped me for December.
You have my attention.

 

[AncientTobacco]

The fact that both he and his stage are complete and that they are not out yet pretty much means we're getting another character in December.

Guessing this is another Lucas situation.

Cloud announced beforehand, then a couple more in December and all released at once.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

So I have a question for all of you.
Do you think Cloud was Pre-Ballot or do you think he was part of the Ballot.
I ask simply on the fact we know the only newcomer currently as DLC is Ryu.
Who also happens to be third party.
I am somewhat worried about Wolf if not in the next bunch of News.

 

[Oasis Dealer]

Come to think of it...

@PushDustIn

Wasn't Cloud a popular request in Japan?

Not Push, but I can confirm that Cloud was a slightly popular choice. He was among the top 20 in the poll that Push conducted for Japan. So yeah, he was at least decently requested.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Also, can we please now stop acting like iconic status doesn't matter for third-party characters? Once or twice is a coincidence, but all 5 of the third-party characters getting in with significance and recognizability among a wider gaming audience being a coincidence? Not even remotely!

I only needed one more third-party addition in the game just to make sure. TBH
So I hope you're happy.
