Smash Bros Direct on April 8th, 3pm PST!!

[Admiral Pit]

IT HAS TO BE REAL!

THE THIRST IS REAAAAAL!

Sorry, I can't control myself.

I don't blame you. After waiting for so long, oh boy.

 

[DarkFoxTeam]

Calling it now...
<_<
>_>
Mii's are going to be revealed in this direct and Pac-man will be revealed at E3

 

[Glaciacott]

I love newcomers and all, but guys ... a release date. We may possibly get a release date.

This is huge. A direct appears, a twitter account appears ... to me it's like Sakurai saying "all right peeps, we're ready and good to go full exposure on this game. Prepare the presses!"
So yea, I'm freaking excited.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

New stuff gameplay-wise with a character and June-July release date at the end. That is all. *drops the mic.

 

[Frostwraith]

Super Smash Bros. Direct!!

Hype levels break the scale!

THIS may be why there was no character in March! Prepare for new characters, new footage and loads of new information!

 

[TumblrFamous]

So that means I get to watch it at 6 pm on Tuesday... okay, that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm predicting a newcomer, at least two veterans, changes, stages, new modes, and a release date.

 

[TheBKFAN]

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! Yeah, I've been lurking on the rumors thread for a while but now it seems like there's something worthwhile to talk about! Haha

 

[KingLucasx]

They have to show off some past stages in HD. After seeing RainbowRoad in Mk8...

 

[BADGRAPHICS]

Oh snap, we might finally learn about the "directionality of attacks".

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I'm expecting Mii for this one, it's a perfect opportunity to explain how they work. Then Pac-Man for E3 I guess.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

They have to show off some past stages in HD. After seeing RainbowRoad in Mk8...

Oh my goodness... that stage is the epitome of every great thing about Mario Kart. Lets hope they remake a stage for smash that is equally as awesome.

 

[PWN3]

45 minutes of Luigi's nose. Get hype.

 

[Swift Fox]

SECTOR Z!

OH NO DAMMIT! Probably only for 3DS... at least in 3D glory.

 

[TheBKFAN]

Also what I think we're going to see from this Direct are:
Newcomer: Mii (so Sakurai can talk about how certain features can be transferred from Wii U to 3DS regarding this character, not moves but appearance and such)
Veteran: Yoshi (because it's just about time)
3rd Party Veteran: Snake (If there's any time to reveal Snake if he's in, now is the time. They wouldn't wait until E3 because Pac-Man or any other 3rd Party will be revealed then)
Release Date: I'm going to say June 21st or September 23rd because I'm keeping my hopes up for an earlier release.
Modes: Single Player Mode and Online Mode

 

[Ixbran]

Excitement! This is probably why they didnt have any returning veteran reveals last month, they are probably going to announce a few new characters, and plenty of returning vets

So much Excite! <3

 

[Guybrush20X6]

THE HYPE IS OUT OF CONTROL!

Not only do we get a character but we finally get a good look at the game itself.

 

[Sil]

Oh man... This will probably be the biggest thing until E3...

Spoiler

 

[PLATINUM7]

So it's at 8am for. So I'll have to find a way to watch it at school

 

[Wario Bros.]

Smash Direct Tuesday?

But damnit, it's 30 minutes before I have class and won't have time to see it live.

And I might be disappointing myself but I'm expecting at least 2 characters (maybe 3) from this Direct.

 

[soviet prince]

what time is this on the east coast?

 

[Valyoda]

I just saw on one of my favourite nintendo fan site ( which is french, so i'll explain to you ) that the direct is gonna show 18+ content. They wonder if Nintendo will show other games like Bayonetta. But I think this can match with Hideki Kamiya's tweet.

Nintendo Town is a serious site in France.

They're probably only assuming that because it's post-watershed in France. Where I live, it'll air about 5:00 in the afternoon, so I expect objectionable content to be at a minimum.

 

[soviet prince]

god no for bayoneta so much more deserving 3rd partys then her

 

[ahannoush4]

I literally had dreams all week about waking up to a "Smash Direct" ... And look how our week ended! (Ps first post here!)

 

[Valyoda]

They're probably only assuming that because it's post-watershed in France. Where I live, it'll air about 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon, so I expect objectionable content to be at a minimum.

It's possible, the direct will be at midnight in France.

 

[Frostwraith]

The Direct being at 11 PM for me, I'll be watching it live.

I wonder how long it will be, but all can agree that the longer, the better.

 

[Ulti-Bman]

The Hype Train that flew across Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 8's newest update foreshadowed this event.

 

[peachy!]

Oh my, I cannot wait for Tuesday! Like someone above said, the possibilities are endless! I am expecting a newcomer, one or two veteran fighters, gameplay video of new stages and items, and to end it all: the release date.

 

[powerprotoman]

god no for bayoneta so much more deserving 3rd partys then her

this is your oppinion be that as it may bayonetta 2 was the reason i preorderd the wiiu.....luigis mansion darkmoon was the reason i bought my 3ds so as you can see i have the highest calibur of taste

 

[Warchamp7]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the wording seems like it's a Smash Bros only Direct, which
A. would be the first of it's kind I think?
B. is the first Direct that's going to be watchable on the Smash site?

Dis gone be big I think. I'd say a release date is in the cards

 

[YoshiandToad]

I'm expecting at least one newcomer and two veteran reveals for this direct. Also tons of gameplay footage and at least a ROUGH estimate of the release date.

I can't decide if my expectations are too low or too high at this point.

Yes, it's a Smash-only Direct it seems, much like we had a Pokémon-only Direct before X & Y's release confirm the Mega Kanto starters. And yes, it'll be the first of its kind.

I doubt it's going to be watchable on the Smash site when live, but it's going to be watchable on the Nintendo Direct site.

You are correct on both accounts good sir, it's the first Nintendo Direct dedicated to smash bros. and it will be on the smash bros site when it airs.

It will be big, I wonder how many veterans we'll get this time, also, since we're getting a direct now, does that mean the game will release in the near future? I'm starting to expect a summer release! ^_^

There was the developer direct at E3, which is also viewable on the SSB4 site.

 

[Warchamp7]

I doubt it's going to be watchable on the Smash site when live, but it's going to be watchable on the Nintendo Direct site.

Sakurai said in his Miiverse comment "You'll be able to watch the stream from the official site (www.smashbros.com)."

 

[BADGRAPHICS]

I don't know if we'll see any more veterans. We've seen loads of characters already; I suspect the rest would be spaced out up to release. I could be wrong, though. I reckon we'll get one newcomer.

 

[Silvera]

To be fair, I think Yoshi should be the last veteran shown revealed if this is the case. Other than that, I'd be okay with it.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

My god, it's gonna be hard to study for my midterms knowing this is happening.

 

[WIldBam]

I think there should be some, atleast 4. It is a Direct that is dedicated t solely smash bros, they can't have half an hour and not reveal more than 1 veteran. It's possible, but I find it highly unlikely. Plus this gives them a chance to reveal characters like Ness, C. Falcon and others that have no games coming out for them to correspond to a reveal. And it would explain the long drought we've been having.
