Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Soul.]

I saw Smash tweets.

I can only think of Direct presentations coming back full-force at this point. Man, the hype is so real now

I'll keep my expectations low though. Don't want disappointment.

 

[Radical Bones]

Bye guys. I'll be back in 20 hours. Wish me luck staying away from spoilers.

Enjoy.

 

[Kenith]

Anybody got some template bingo sheets? Imma make one to kill time.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Where did you find that plot synopsis protoman?

 

[Deleted member]

I was just thinking, what if the Smash-related announcement is only Smash 64 getting re-released on the Wii U eShop ?

I don't know if people would be happy nor salty over it.

 

[Frostwraith]

9 hours and 30 minutes left.

It can be tough to wait for a Direct. It's been 5 months since the last one at E3 and 7 months since the last non-E3 Direct.

And now I quote Metal Face: "This better be a good show."

 

[Kenith]

But what if they're anticipating some good news for a fellow indie dev...
...Like Yacht Club Games?
...
Okay, now that I've shared this ridiculous idea, how hard can you slap me in the facial region?

 

[LIQUID12A]

Quite frankly I wouldn't be surprised if Playtonic's tease led to a YL Amiibo being announced this Direct.

Even if it's just a short clip.

Yeah I wouldn't rule out an amiibo reveal. Gav's been very vocal about wanting one, and if SK gets one there's no reason why Yooka-Laylee can't.

Leak comin' in from Gamefaqs regarding the direct. The user posting this has been a member of the site for 10 years, so this is at least something:

Spoiler

I saw some stills from the direct, thank me later. Here is a quick run down

First Trailer

-Wolf/K.Rool revealed in the same trailer near the beginning of the video.
-Cinematic starts with Wolf in a dog fighting with Falco and Fox in Arwings,
-Cameo appearances by Krystal, Slippy and Peppy giving Fox and Falco advice.
-Leon does the same for Wolf in one shot
-All three eject from their Arwings. Fox/Falco and Wolf run towards each other Wolf, getting ready to clash. Looks very dramatic and anime-esque.
-Some kind of interupption happens I guess. Next still showed Diddy on Wolf's back with K.Rool in pursuit of Diddy.
-Donkey Kong appears as well, grappling with K.Rool. Starts one of those cartoonish fight dust clouds
-Next still showed K.Rool disengaging with Diddy/Donkey Kong still in the cloud fighting each other.
-Another shot with Peppy and Krystal conversing about the whereabouts of Fox/Falco, hoping they're ok etc etc.
-K.Rool is holding some kind of weapon. Aims it at Diddy/Donkey Kong who are still in the cloud fighting each other.
-Looks like it missed or Diddy and Donkey Kong moved. Bullets are about to collide with Fox/Falco/Wolf
-Next still showed all three using their refelctors. Oddly enough Falco doesn't throw his as he does in game, activates his similarly to Fox. Wolf's reflector looks like his Brawl reflector.
-Some more bits missing between here and the last show. Fox/Falco/Wolf looks like they're about to clash with Diddy Kong/K.Rool/Diddy Kong. Temporary alliance I guess.
-Next still showed all 6 in a 6 player battle, they aren't on teams though which struck me as odd.

Gameplay stuff

Not much I can gather here from just screenshots, so I'll just post what I can gather. There is probably alot here because numerous of screenshots have "Numerous changes have been added for the entire cast. Please enjoy" at the bottom of them. Probably won't be getting patch notes

-Not much I can gather here from just screenshots. One shot of Palutena vs Pit on Castle siege has "Numerous changes have been added for the entire cast. Please enjoy"

-Isaac Mii with an Isaac costume is shown grouped with the previously released costumes. I didn't see any other costumes, but I'm assuming there are more

-Smash Run is coming to the Wii U. Looks like Wii U will receive more enemies, but will not be receiving activates abilities like the 3DS version has.

-3DS is receiving a game mode that allows players to upload their amiibos to amiibos of other players. Winner receives gold and items for winning. Players have the option of saving the replay.

Second trailer

Bomberman is revealed, but won't be released until sometime in 2016.

-First still looks similar to the opening of Pac-man's reveal trailer.
-Multiple screenshots of him just holding bombs or players being blown up. Can't really tell much about his moveset other than it'll involve bombs.
-Recovery might be really really good. One screenshot showed him offscreen near the bottom blastzone of omega wrecking crew. Next shot showed him holding the edge.

That's all I got. Obv not revealing my source, but I can say she/he is definitely credible and has told me more information.I'll be back tomorrow with more info once this has come true. Enjoy the direct tomorrow~

Username is "Thebombs", for future reference (in case the topic is deleted) in case he's right or wrong.

Way too good to be true. Yeah....

King Of Hyrule trailer. It's sad that it seems so underwhelming in the 3DS version. Major lack of enemies, moves seem way more boring, etc.

"Ha" "Hah""Hah" "Ha"
That's all I heard. Maybe he's in development.

AND WE HAVE A SAKURAI TWEET ABOUT TOMORROWS DIRECT

HYPE TRAIN FULL THROTTLE EVERYONE

Fasten your seatbelts, everyone. We're entering the final day.

As for the Yooka Laylee, I'm guessing we might see a Wii U trailer.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Thank the almighty Sakurai, I just wanted some Smash news today

 

[RawstyleEevee]

Not sure if posted yet but there are even more hints that Pokemon Z could be announced today in the direct

First of all the Japanese Zygarde Event is released today in Japan with the serial code MEGAMEGA

But the real fishy evidence is that Junichi Masuda retweeted the direct & while naysayers on forums say it will be just Super Mystery Dungeon or Pokken, it is worth nothing that the only games Junichi Masuda directs and really talks about are the main serie games.

 

[CalebGamer14]

I hope we get new DLC I need somthing new.

To be fair

It's like something you would see in a 90s cartoon sho-

Wait a minute...
