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

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

At least?! Good luck, man. I hope that you get what you want.

DUDE you realize its a direct thats focus on nothing but smash bros atleast 2 newcomers is a safe bet its not a lock but it's very possible

 

[Superyoshiom]

If we do have a demo, it's going to have a limited amount of times you can play it. I'll want to cherish it as long as possible and save all my tries, so I probably would never play it then.

 

[Gonoji]

Actually it's been in development since January of 2012. Started after he finished uprising.

I believe Brawl stared development in October 2005, and ended about 2 years later in October 2007. Melee was 13 months, with no specific months mentioned (I'm gonna guess it started late summer 2000 and ended in September 2001 approximately). Wii U/3DS started January/February 2012, and now it's 2 years later. Despite slowdown of development with Sakurai's arm, I think Bamco has sped up the process a lot, so it evens out. The game is probably near completion and Sakurai doesn't want to reveal the other half of the game.
Of course, I keep having to tell myself all of this so the game will come out sooner. ;_;

@ ~ Valkyrie ~ Brawl had a demo, a public one at that. It was available in the US and Japan via kiosk.

Brawl actually had two demos, one at E for All 2007, and another in Japan two weeks before release.

Last play.

I WILL NEVER TURN MY WII U OFF

It'd be so nice if we got a demo, but it might spoil the game for me. Just playing it and feeling the mechanics would make the end product feel less new.

 

[CoolPalMitch]

I really don't know what to expect myself. I would say there's definitely going to be a newcomer reveal, maybe two, but any more would just be wishful thinking. I also think we're going to see the various in-depth aspects and new features this entry brings to the table, such as new modes, a look at the adventure mode we've only seen one image of, and maybe some things none of us could expect!

 

[BluePikmin11]

Can you really keep them low? Because every time I try to suppress the hype, it always finds a crevice to escape from and shroud me.

Last time I tried to hype myself for Dixie Kong, then we got Little Mac. So yeah I'm preparing for the U-Turn reveal

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

I know expectations should be low, but if there were 2 newcomers revealed, how would you guys like it?

1. The lesser hype character at the beginning and the greater hype character at the end?
2. The greater hype character at the beginning and the lesser hype character at end?
3. Two trailers side by side?
4. One big trailer revealing multiple newcomers?
5. Another option?

Personally I like option 4 the most, (even if it means less trailer goodness).
Option 1 is pretty good as well though.

Alriight.

Still wonder would that really contribute to the demo's likeliness.

Now, what to talk about...

...

Waiiiiit....!!

Sounds about right. Considering the lack of Subspace and huge experienced development team this game should essentially be finished for the most part. I pray that it's soon because depending on Tuesday's announcement I may or may not buy my Wii U the following weekend since I get payed on Monday. Then again, if I see Captain Falcon I might just buy it out of sheer excitement.

I guess it all comes down to your expectations.

The last time I ended up being hyped for something, I ended up being disappointed.

I want to be surprised.

Having limited uses would piss me off to no end

I know. I was just mentioning the public Demo since it was the least known. I played the E For All demo lol.

**** now I have to do atleast 10 push-ups lol

 

[Hinata]

Too bad that's how all Wii U/3DS demos are.

 

[Morbi]

What do you expect out of a Demo? Surely not the traditional definition of a Demo?! Nintendo's form of Demo is much more practical. I love having limited uses; it makes it feel special, like the time we had to actually spend quarters at the arcade.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Too bad that's how all Wii U/3DS demos are.

I remember seeing one demo that had unlimited uses. One....... And it was a 3DS Demo......

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Too bad that's how all Wii U/3DS demos are.

And knowing how the demos operate, it won't matter if you tried to redownload the demo.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Nintendo should just do the best buy thing again.

 

[BluePikmin11]

This is very unlikely, but what if in this direct Sakurai announces that every Brawl veteran is back?

 

[Hinata]

And knowing how the demos operate, it won't matter if you tried to redownload the demo.

Yeah, sadly. I mean, if you were REALLY adamant about it, you could delete your Nintendo Network ID, and redownload it that way.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

 

[Road Death Wheel]

lol i think it would be pretty awesome to pass save data to the original if there is a demo and if there is a save feature in it.

lol i just noticed that I start almost every post with lol.....lol

 

[Morbi]

This is very unlikely, but what if in this direct Sakurai announces that every Brawl veteran is back?

The only way he could actually top that is by revealing all of the newcomers at E3! Also, I would be pretty pissed.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Nintendo should just do the best buy thing again.

Oh no, worst idea ever on my book.

 

[Gonoji]

***"Finally, I'd like to end with saying Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will have a demo on the Nintendo eShop after this Direct. However, the demo will only have Mario and Mii on Battlefield. It will also only have three uses. Oh, and it is only a video. Please understand. Thank you for watching." (waves, fades out)

Why is it bad?

Option 1 for sure, would make the Direct flow much better in general. Start with a bang, finish with an even bigger bang.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Anybody waiting for some Kung Fu Cut Man-remix in the Wily Stage? Wondering if it'll be put in the Direct as it showcases fighters duking out on Wily Fortress.

 

[Dr.Megaman]

Thank god! Lets hope for 1,2 or maybe even 3 character reveals like e3. I predict that Palutena and Ridley will be revealed.

 

[Silvera]

I remember seeing one demo that had unlimited uses. One....... And it was a 3DS Demo......

I remember as well. I think it was Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

Yeah that was it.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Why is it bad?

Think about it. Only one Wii U system, and you only get 7 minutes for one demo. Add the number of people who want to try out the demos, and it's just a major disappointment in the end. I've been to the Best Buy event, and it went very poorly.

 

[Vintage Creep]

This is very unlikely, but what if in this direct Sakurai announces that every Brawl veteran is back?

Without even showing them? Just casually saying "Hey everyone from Brawl is back by the way."
It wouldn't be unlikely, just pretty stupid honestly lol

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

I wonder if Sakurai and his development team will do what MK8 did and just polish already good game to brim with detail and dedication.' MK8 evoked the inner child in me because how many amazing things it brought in and how it reminded me how I fell in love with Mario kart at first place. In fact, I never felt that in the last installments.

 

[Road Death Wheel]

"Finally, eyed like tu eand wiff sayeng Supah Sumashu Brozzaz fo Wee Yu wir have ah deh-moh on de Neen-ten-doh ee Shop afta thes Dierect. Howevah, thuh dehmo will onry have Mareeoh and Mee on Battorufield. It wirr also only have suri uses. Oh, and it es only a videeoh. Prease undastand. Thank yu fo watching." (waves, fades out)

Im pretty sure this is racist. But i literally can't comprehend what was said in this post. its literally way above me or way below....or even on such a close wave length with me that im rejecting its existence like a reflection of myself... or am i the reflection......HOLY SHI

 

[Morbi]

Thank god! Lets hope for 1,2 or maybe even 3 character reveals like e3. I predict that Palutena and Ridley will be revealed.

That would be practical. 3 character reveals on the Direct; 3 or 4 at E3. Maybe they should also reveal 3 characters during the time period in between?! GENIUS!

 

[Gonoji]

Lol, I'm just kidding. I love Iwata, I have tons of respect for him. But you have to admit, he really does talk like that. And that also sounds like one of the many disappointing ways he would end a Direct.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

Option 1 Please.

Option 1 for sure, would make the Direct flow much better in general. Start with a bang, finish with an even bigger bang.

Though, with option 1, that means we won't get an in-depth look of the character revealed at the end until probably E3. Where we would have to rely on POTDs for information until then. (All of this assuming we are getting a deeper look at the previously revealed newcomers to begin with).

Still, would certainly be hype-worthy.

Hey, moderators, am I allowed to create a separate team to continue my #Hastagteams game?
