Smash Direct next month?

[Cithara]

Okay so if they did do a Smash Ultimate Direct I assume it would be on the 18th or next month, right? I mean it is obviously not today.

 

[Frizz]

I'd rather it be in November. One big final Smash direct before the game's release next month. 1-3 more characters announced, the hidden mode revealed, and smaller announcements, like perhaps mod support or stage builder or anything. It's mainly been about characters, items, stages, and songs, but there's much more to Smash than that. I hope they go into further detail on them.

 

[SuperDoom1]

They're not gonna.
We've already had five Nintendo Directs, they deserve a break. This is why I got so ****ed off (more people should censor themselves on the Internet) when they announced Isabelle on an already meh-worthy Direct.

I say late October or mid November.

I can almost guarantee that there will be no mod support.

Well, get the meh stuff out of the way.

I know, it's mainly just wishful thinking on my part. I...

I just want my Hooded Robin, you know?

I agree, but they do it at separate times and have a break. Plus, there are so many games coming out soon we know barely anything about. Like the new pokemon comes out in a month, and we don't know much about it at all. So I think they might do a Pokemon Lets Go Eevee/Pickachu direct, and possibly reveal a Pokemon (probably Incineroar) for Smash at the end. I just want a Pokemon Direct at least.

I just want Waluigi. My boy deserves that spot.

Plus I think the last Direct was pretty good. We got new Animal Crossing, Isabelle for Smash, new games, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and much more.

Watch the multi-posts. Edit if you have to.

 

[Yosher]

I wanna say there's gonna be one this month, but it might be next month. It would make sense. June showed off the full, proper reveal of the game. Fast forward two months, there's a Smash Direct. Now we're two months ahead of that Smash Direct, with two more months to go before Smash actually releases. It would make sense to have one this month to keep the 'two months apart' trend going, but November is closer to the release so that makes sense too.

If I had to choose, I'd go for November as it's closer to release, and will help build up hype for the actual release.

Speak for yourself, I loved the Direct.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

I'm not sure how allowed speculation threads are, but I gotta say they can't go over a month without another announcement.

 

[staindgrey]

I've been saying November 7th for the final direct for awhile now. I'm sticking to it.

It's in the middle of the week. It's exactly one month before the game releases. And it doesn't share a date with any major videogame release.

 

[BronzeGreekGod]

I think there's gona be 2 more directs, or at least some form of announcements (one being a full smash direct for sure). I'm hoping for one announcement in Oct, and then one more a week or so before release (that one being the big smash reveal direct with all the leftover goodies). I feel like its time we got some bigger announcements soon. Waiting for November seems like a really long break.

They need to.
They haven't explained online yet and also haven't revealed that hidden mode that was presented in the August Direct. One final direct between october and november doesn't sound unreasonable.

And you got miffed at Isabelle's announcement? Ok then, slow down over there.

 

[Matoi]

Last direct should just reveal everything

 

[Deleted member]

As someone else said in this thread, I to am expecting a direct this month. Since we had one two months ago, it would only make sense to have another one this month. But who knows, there may be one next month. Only time will tell.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Reasons I think it'd be wise to have it this month is the very following.

1. Pokemon Lets Go is coming out next month so Smash shouldn't take away the attention
2. November is a terrible time for leaks. Don't you remember what happened with Brawl and Sm4sh before their release? The entire roster for those got leaked before their releases. You would honestly think that Sakurai and Nintendo would had learned from that...
3. Seems to be a pattern seemingly. June>August>October>December.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

Only if Bandana Waddle Dee gets revealed will I say that the next direct was better than the March one.
But seriously the March direct was pure gold.

The first two are really good points. As for the third one, well, after the music theory, I think it's best if we don't speculate patterns. Most of the time they're merely coincidences.

I guess your right. Only time will tell though.

 

[soviet prince]

hoping to at least get a unique character to talk about this month

 

[DongleDude]

It’d be a #Epic #Gamer moment if it was on the 18th (even tho I don’t know why it would be that date specifically) cause my Smash group meets up every Thursday and it’s also a half day for school.

A direct that announces both Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing is FAR from "meh" in my book. Also I like that Isabelle is in Smash! She's an awesome addition to the roster IMO. Now had we got neither LM3 or AC then yeah that direct would've been terrible. But I'm glad we don't live in that reality.

I mean, her trailer was still kind of boring compared to the others. Even if you like her, that was probably the worst trailer of the lot.

I agree with this. But I can't see how you could possibly make a character trailer for Isabelle "epic" or "funny".

 

[Mrplutoguy112]

Apparently. My guess is there trying to make it worth wild for the smash game maybe trying to feature new comers or stages to the mix. But November 1st would be my guess to the day the direct lunches.

 

[aarchak]

Probably, honestly. Considering the game comes out in the beginning of December, a late November direct seems like a great idea. It would be just like the 50 facts extravaganza of Sm4sh.

And risk the entire roster being leaked like Brawl and Sm4sh had? Nah I think late October or early November maybe the best route to reveal the rest of the characters.

Why would Sakurai and Nintendo risk that happening again? You'd think they would learn no?

 

[Mariomaniac45213]

Yeah but it can't be too late. Because you're opening yourself up to leaks through review copies, esrb leaks, datamines (if Nintendo decides to pre-load), etc.

 

[Arthur97]

I agree with this. But I can't see how you could possibly make a character trailer for Isabelle "epic" or "funny".

Funny would be your best bet. Duck Hunt wasn't spectacular, but it was at least entertaining.

 

[Pizza Robo]

I voted for November for a Smash Direct since the game will be out in December

 

[soviet prince]

I am geussing before nov 2nd when the smash edition switch is released.

 

[Mariomaniac45213]

I am geussing before nov 2nd when the smash edition switch is released.

I still think it's gonna be on Nov. 2nd and the direct is gonna end with "The bundle, GCN controller/adaptor, and Smash pro controller launch in stores today AND the game will be available to pre-load on the eshop OR the test Smash will be available to download after the presentation"

This is my theory I've had since the last direct, my gut is telling me that's what is gonna happen.

 

[Untouch]

I feel it'll be either October 31st or November 1st.

 

[Phobos_Anomaly]

A smash direct for mid-to-late October would fit well, with an unexpected Smash reveal for a character or whatever somewhere in a regular Nintendo direct that would happen in November. Guess time will only tell.

 

[Tollhouse]

I agree with this. But I can't see how you could possibly make a character trailer for Isabelle "epic" or "funny".

I totally get where they are coming from. They honestly should've made Isabelle more bad*** and put some explosions here and there. Maybe have her kill someone to keep the dark tone the other trailers have. So basically make it completely unfaithful to the Animal Crossing series is what they should've done.

You can be entertaining without being "epic."

 

[Tollhouse]

You can, but as someone who's played the AC series before, I can say they captured the spirit of the series perfectly in that trailer. It was clearly designed to keep the viewer guessing if it was a new AC game or a smash reveal. So that's pretty entertaining. That's what made it so fun to watch. I can see why people may find it boring compared to the other trailers but I can't imagine any fan of AC being less than thrilled with that trailer overall.

I am also hoping that there is a design on the back of the switch console they just could not show due to spoilers. God that thing is plain otherwise

 

[DrPerplexion]

as long as i have a character reveal i'll be happy

 

[JadeRock 5599]

Robin like reveal this month and all out in November.

Or smash this month so they can prep every one for other holdiday releases in November.

 

[MrArska]

If we get something this month, it would a Robin/Shulk esque single character reveal. I'm feeling the final pre-launch Smash direct around Nov. 8th.
