What the hell is with Dante’s hair?

It's Nero, the guy from DMC 4. Who needed a new style anyway since his old hair was too similar to Dante.

Is this a new Mega Man?

I hate these gritty, realistic reboots. Didn't they learn from Bomberman?/s

It'll be better than Mighty No. 9 at least.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

That'll be Nero.
And Nero's going for the short haired boy-band drummer look.

Spoiler

Ah, excuse my ignorance.

 

[Idon]

Also, while we're still on the topic of Devil May Cry, there's a support thread for Dante too~

Hasn't been updated for like a year though.

Well we're probably not getting a direct this week

 

[Masked Marshmallow]

So, lemme see what we know about "Brave":
- Codenamed "Brave" in the files.
- Average run speed/jump height/weight.
- Slides when turning after running.
- Appears to be shorter than Luigi.

My guesses for why they slide are: They carry something heavy for their size/they float instead of walking/they have wheels/they run a lot.

This "Brave" character seems to move really smoothly based on that clip. I already like their movement.

There actually was going to be a darker reboot of Mega Man X called "Maverick Hunter", but it actually looked promising. It would've been developed by Armature Studio, the company founded by a bunch of ex-Metroid Prime developers, and was an FPS with fast movement and over-the-top action, not too dissimilar from the critically acclaimed DOOM reboot from a few years ago. Now, whether it would've achieved the same quality and polish as DOOM is debatable, but it actually might've been a good game.

Prime 4!

Well hopefully this will age terribly, but I'm going to say RIP Jan 10th Direct.

We hardly knew ye

You read my mind.

These are the games i'm looking out for this year.
And a Persona 5 port.

Imagine if they just posted the next DLC character's trailer onto their twitter with absolutely no prior warning or announcement

Just as they say, great minds think alike!

 

[FurretBro]

"Brave" is a confusing one.

 

[CannonStreak]

What’s with people saying a Direct won’t happen tomorrow?

Don’t get me wrong, I am 50/50 on it happening, but tweets about games do not disconfirm a Direct, guys.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

My goodness... The internet would go nuts, and I would assume that Intern-kun was somehow behind this

Megaman X is already a darker reboot of the classic Megaman. X ******* dies and gets his corpse left in a desert in one of the bad endings.

So everyone's thoughts on the Erdrick/Doomslayer/Ryu Hayabusa/Steve leak? Real or fake and why?

I'm 50/50 with low expectations since it seemed the Grinch leak supposedly was legit.

Erdrick is like 89% gonna happen, but the other three i'm not so sure. It's another text leak, so unless things start lining up i'm not gonna believe it.

I think it's Fake. What makes me think this is the fact that there are no 1st party characters in this leak, which is very suspicious. I bet this leak was just some random dude disguising his wishlist as a leak.

You’re saying that like they never put things in Directs that we already know about.

Technically speaking, we won’t know if there isn’t a direct until tomorrow, since they usually do reveal them only the day prior. Not saying that the rumors are specifically true, but we just don’t know.

Nothing really going for it so far beyond the very likely possibility of Erdrick and the fact that insiders have mentioned it yet not shot it down, with some thinking it might honestly be legit. My guess is it gets Erdrick right which means some insiders are curious about it.

Exactly! Plus, like I said, the Kirby and Yoshi games are just two games. There are many more games that are being worked on right now, some which may be announced during the Direct for the first time. Not trying to be optimistic here, but two games already dated is hardly a disconfirmation of a Direct.

 

[TheCJBrine]

they added Zelda 2 and some tank game with gray metroids called Blaster Master to the NES Online.

where's my Earthbound Beginnings, Kirby's Adventure, and the game of the year, Super Mario Bros. 2?!

I feel like it's fake...

Why does this person know every single thing about these characters, including the games they're promoting?...

That, and Doomslayer seems a bit unlikely, tbh with you

That being said, It's like my dream DLC list. I'm hoping that it's real...

"some tank game"
BOI

Famicon online also gets Joy Mech Fight.

Why the **** can't we get that game too? I hope I can just donwload the Japanese version of the app to play it. Still, I shouldn't have to do that. Even worse is that instead of replacing the game, everyhwere outside of Japan just gets one less game.

Noipoi's March Direct idea seems a lot more likely now. They're just outlining their winter and early spring line-up through tweets at this point, lol.

 

[RyuhoFox]

*slams fists on table*
Prime 4!
Animal Crossing!
Pokémon!

Also Bayonetta 3. And DEM as well. Honestly there is likely a lot to talk about that doesn't relate to denim Yoshi and silk Kirby.

Sukapon is too much of a pimp for us filthy gaijins.

Also more the reason to believe if in March we'll get Smash news involving possibility that next DLC announcement or at least a tease.

 

[Zinith]

I just hope there's a little more to Crafted World than just Baby Bowser and Kamek, like a secret villain that isn't adult Bowser

I actually think it looks cool, I'm just not familiar with it although the name itself sounds familiar.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Sukapon is too much of a pimp for us filthy gaijins.

Except it would have been perfect to release JMF internationally now with Sukapon as an assist in Ultimate.

I demand justice for the comedian Rayman-Mega Man hybrid.

Yeah. If they wan't to keep things equal, we should've gotten Startropics or another game that never released in Japan.

I mean, it's also worth noting that the first general direct of last year was in March (Ya know, the one that revealed Smash Ultimate?)... I always expected the direct to be in March

Wait so I know people starting talking about Erdrick again due to the "brave" character file leak, but where did the leak of the other three characters come from?

I never got why Baby Bowser had to be the villain in every Yoshi game. I know it's sorta tradition, but maybe you could give Yoshi a slightly different threat?
Kirby gets tons of different villains, why does Yoshi get the same guy everytime?

The villain should be Baby Bowser but in a Marx robot.

Give Baby Bowser Satanic power.

 

[Zinith]

If anything, Kirby proves that you can have high stakes without losing it's cute charm...

Anyday now Tezuka
