I've more than once had to not watch the Direct live due to school, especially because I had evaluations going on.

I didn't die. Still, each one is free to make his/her own decisions, but of course, deal with the consequences later.

Wait are people still seriously contemplating skipping school or work to watch the Nintendo Direct?

Don't. Seriously, it's not worth it. Watching one Direct live isn't worth skipping a day of your education. F***, I know the feeling. I've got an exam the same day as the Direct at a close enough time that watching it live isn't an option for me(oh the days when I was home free by 5/6 in the evening). But it's not worth it. You're education/career is WAY more important than a 20-30 minute long commercial for a f***ing toy that will contain info you'll get later anyway and will be archived for your enjoyment on the internet later as well.
Lucky for me the direct is literally one hour after school ends for me.
I get to walk home, take a break, turn on the computer just in time to see everyone piss their pants, and watch the Direct.

I know school and work is a big deal, but a potential Ridley reveal at this direct would be much bigger.

He has a point. Besides, the direct will be on YT shortly after with no lag, so don't worry.

So, I am really hoping to see Single Player, and maybe a match or two.

Well, good thing my exam is from 12:30 PM to 1:45 PM. I could just skip the next class since they are all just doing presentations anyway and I finished mine last month.

Hey, you never know. Whatever they're presenting might actually be fun or interesting. What class tho?

Effective Leadership... we all had to do our 10+ page papers on our selected leaders that were due before Spring Break and then do our presentations on our leaders after Spring Break. Mine was T. Alan Hurwitz.

I played the Menu Song from Horsetail and scrolled down, and then DustyPumpkin's signature made it even better. I'm dead. :laugh:

Though, I'm excited that the Direct is only two days away.

I dont know how much to expect in terms of characters, but I'm sure we will see:

Release Date
New levels
Gameplay changes
Adventure Mode / mode discussion
Veterans revealed


We will probably see a newcomer, since this whole thing is about Smash.

To all the people cursing the fact they have school or work at the time of the ND, here is some advice:

- Don't skip school. Trust me, the long term gratification will more than outweigh this temporary one.
- Just bookmark the link to Nintendo's ND stream. All anyone has to do when they get home is open their browser, click the bookmark, and press play. Voila.

Something else I'd like to throw out to the community: when Tuesday rolls around, please don't make it any harder on us mods than needed. We're going to be dealing with enough crap in between the almost certain intermittent down times to be beating people upside the head for acting like monkeys. Consider this a PSA.

This 100%. Remember, even if you can't see the Direct live, you can watch the pre-recording at any time.

Console ban tho
I love you all, The Runaway Guys are the best, CAPTAIN FALCON IS PARALLEL PARKING
Whenever I see someone not playing a game well during lets plays, it always annoys me for some reason. It's like once I know something that can enhance play, I tend to tell people to use it.

Ya'll are a bunch of nerds, choosing to stay in school over this

I'm for sure leaving work early to watch my live-streamed video game preview event *pushes glasses up nose*

Very scary ruins
Ridley would be a pretty big deal, but I would like them to shed some light on Palutena's role in the game.

Crappy jokes aside, I would be happy with a Snake confirmation, anything else is gravy
