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

[Rie Sonomura]

the directs always get posted it to youtube later, and you can watch it live using 4g

I think most streaming media has problems on LTE on my phone on the ride home unless I set it to like very low settings so I'll see what I can do.

 

[Deleted member]

I'll quote my predictions of the Direct because I'm too lazy to either make a bingo card or another post

Direct predictions because I can't make a bingo myself

• Pokemon Z: Mega Boogaloo
• Pokken news: another Cosplay Pikachu confirmed
• FE Fates is confirmed to release in February something and now all units can gay marriage
• 25 minutes of random Indie EShop titles
• Weeb EmblemXNot-Etrian Odyssey somehow gets more weeby
• SMTIV: whatever was the name release date for America confirmed to be June 2016 and Europe gets it on July 2018
• Literally anything is confirmed as DLC Super Salt Bros and there is a meltdown
• "We are working on Zelda U"
• TPHD is even darker and edgier than the original and it's flipped upside down
• Yokais atrack the Game Freak building and take over Pokemon
• Nintendo remembers they still have the F-Zero franchise and sells it to EA, removing Captain Falcon from Smash in the new update
• Sonic Boom Fire and Ice still exists and it's worse than you thought
• Xenoblade Chronicles X gets a release trailer and ig has memes on it

Btw, can you watch Youtube streams on mobile?

 

[Solfiner]

I want Skull Kid Hyrule warriors gameplay today actually.

Can't wait to see how his combos look.

 

[Z25]

Now, finally, after forever of fail, now that my project is done... *cough*



>Sees Sakurai retweeted the direct.

Guess there's no better time than to post this;

Spoiler

I like how despite the delay, I actually finished this animation JUST as he retweeted that. My bad timing strikes again. T_T

This is awesome, well done! Love the bomberman, bandanna dee, and rayman sprites.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Things that this Direct can do to satisfy me:

-Any semblance of new Metroid content in Smash, I don't care what it is
-A release date for Federation Force
-A release date for FE Fates

That's it. That's all I want.

 

[Fenriraga]

So no one for Smash, eh?

That's alright, I AM pretty intimidating. I don't blame you for being too afraid of my awesome power. NYEH HEHEHEH!

 

[powerprotoman]

Tbh, my expectations are rock bottom. Nintendo has been really **** lately.

So, by them disappointing me they're just living up to my expectations. I've already made up my mind on not buying the NX. No matter how good it might be.

And if they DO manage to surprise me, then it becomes a win-win.

That said, what would an ideal Direct for you?

For me, it'd be:

>Ballot characters revealed, Banjo announced for Smash

>XCX dual audio confirmed, all content found in the original left untouched for the localized version, this includes the lewd and the religious symbolism (if this doesn't happen, I'm getting the Japanese version, because seriously, **** censorship).

>MK8 DLC packs 3&4 announced, classic battle mode brought back and is available for online play

>Splatoon content announced, Octolings confirmed, new battle modes: "team slayer" and "infected." Map selection open in online play, and no longer locked to 2 per rotation.

>Smash Melee HD remake for WiiU

>Fast Racing NEO now a console release, reskinned as an F-Zero title. F-Zero NEO. Release date, Summer 2016.

>DKCR3 announced, featuring K.Rool and the Kremlins

>Two new Metroid games in the works, a 2D sidescroller, and a 3D Prime-like.

>Star Fox Zero trailer, game looks nicer. "Reimagining" concept scrapped, instead it will feature new environments and place it solidly in the SF canon. It will also take concepts from Assault's multiplayer and improve on them. Online play confirmed.

>Zelda WiiU trailer and info. Announced as a WiiU exclusive.

>Surprise, because surprises are nice.

>WiiU update, region lock removed.

>WiiU/NX concerns are addressed. WiiU confirmed to get continued support well into 2018, regarless of the NX and what it might be.


Yeah... that's about it. I seriously doubt any if that'll happen, but my wishes aren't exactly unreasonable either.

"not reasonable" "update removes region lock" pick one

 

[Deleted member]

So who else is expecting like 12 more Mii Fighter costumes?

That's pretty much a given every time we get a DLC update. At some point, I think Isaac is going to show up as DLC Mii Costume (which is probably the best that can be hoped for at this point).

My ideal Direct?
Pokemon Z confirmed: Mega Johto starters confirmed
FE Fates: surprise surprise releases this year
Smash: Wonder-Red confirmed
Atlus remembers they announced the fifth installament of one of their RPG franchises a year ago and releases an actual trailer
No 13-year old girls in lewd outfits

 

[Arthreeteseven]

I am so excited! I don't think we've been this blind since the / trailer!

 

[Big-Cat]

>Star Fox Zero trailer, game looks nicer. "Reimagining" concept scrapped, instead it will feature new environments and place it solidly in the SF canon. It will also take concepts from Assault's multiplayer and improve on them. Online play confirmed.

Because they can completely scrap everything and replace it all in five month's time.

[Shadowwolflink]

Does anyone know if there will be a link to the Direct stream on youtube?

 

[Z25]

Does anyone know if there will be a link to the Direct stream on youtube?

One should go up shortly before the direct I believe.

 

[Khoru]

all content found in the original left untouched for the localized version, this includes the lewd and the religious symbolism

my wishes aren't exactly unreasonable either.

if you say so

 

[KenboCalrissian]

...And then, you woke up.

Yup. I sincerely hope nobody read this as anything other than my pie-in-the-sky best case scenario, not a hard expectation or prediction or anything.

Speaking of Directs, we haven't had pointless bets that we all will regret later...
I bet we'll get Twilight Princess HD. Loser(s) changes their avi for a week.
Who's with me?

@SlickWylde never took me up on his own bet, but it's a good thing he didn't since Smash news is more or less confirmed.

I am a terrible, rotten person who doesn't look before posting twice. My shame knows no bounds and my family will forever shun me for this transgression. The life of a vagrant is all I have left to look forward to.

 

[Deleted member]

"not reasonable" "update removes region lock" pick one

What's unreasonable about that?

No 13-year old girls in lewd outfits

1. She's a robot, not a girl

2. She doesn't actually exist

3. Her proportions don't even match that of a 13y.o. her pelvis is the midpoint like that of an adult. Meaning, she has an adult body, with the "age" of a child, and a moe moe animu face like ALL animu girls.

4. I don't even care about potato girl, I mostly care about DAT ASS on Elma being untouched, and not having to listen to the atrocious English voice acting and "Skell."

Also also,

She was 14, even in the western version of the show, but no one ever gave a **** there.

I've got that same shirt on right now.

Literally nothing else I'd rather wear.

 

[Gunla]

While I'm not one for bingo lists, here's my predictions:
-Minecraft: Wii U Edition Announcement
-Smash DLC, Character Announcement
-Pokemon News (Pokken, Pokemon Z)
-FEFates/Federation Force Release Dates
-TPHD Announcement
-Pikmin 4 Teaser/Announcement/Passing Mention
-SMTxFE Trailer Announcement
-Splatoon/SMM Update
-Holiday Overview (IE: XBX)
-Spring Teaser (IE: Star Fox Zero)
-eShop Highlights for this week/the upcoming Holiday (Price Drops, Virtual Console announcements, etc)
-amiibo announcement

I see the Top 3 as confirmed as the rest as being pretty likely. Given how mum Nintendo has been on Zelda Wii U I feel that it may get, at most, a passing mention.

 

[TheAnvil]

Everyone else is doing it, so here's my bingo sheet.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Bets, huh?? Alright.

I bet that at the very most, we'll have one character reveal. If there are more than one, I will go to a thrift store, buy a small shoe, boil it, and eat part of it (literally this time).

I was on your side until you talked about the shoe

Thank You For Everything Iwata

I don't think he's serious, he's still ignoring my bet... but that's probably because he knows if I make him a frustrating Mario Maker stage it'll destroy him

This looks like a generic 4 chan leaks list bro.
Also Unreasonable =/= Pipe dream.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Who I'd like to see? For this one, announcements for Wolf, Shovel Knight, and Inkling.(I'm okay with Wolf being later, if it's K. Rool instead). Second set down the line would be K. Rool(or Wolf), Isaac, and no idea who the 3rd one could be. Maybe another 3rd party. Or Pichu. Or Snake(for a more specific 3rd party choice).

 

[FalKoopa]

I think you have some explaining to do.

Especially the Sonic and Olimar with the DK face.

 

[Arcadenik]

I have my Bingo Board ready. Took a while to make.

LOL I like how you have Blue's avatar as the unconventional DLC pick.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I just showed a friend Panty & Stocking. He can't believe it

 

[Poots]

FalKoopa Let's just say... If D.K ever offers you a banana don't eat it.

(I totally didn't forget to reply to your post I swear.)

 

[Metal Shop X]

Like i said in the Smash 4 Social Thread. I have only 2 thing that i want to see in this Direct.

1: Smash DLC info.

And

2: SMM update/DLC info.

Like that and contrary to alot of people. I won't be too much dissapointed if what i wanted is not in.

"Have the lowest expectation you can have. And you will have no salt." As i said.

 

[FalKoopa]

LOL I like how you have Blue's avatar as the unconventional DLC pick.

He loved/loves to argue that Sakurai would add a non-popular choice to shake things up, so it makes sense, honestly.

 

[Fenriraga]

So if we do get a Smash character today...

When do you think they'll show them off? Start off the direct with a bang? Sneak it in the middle? End with a hard hitter?

 

[TheAnvil]

Anyone know how long the direct will be?

 

[Champ Gold]

To all the Ace Attorney fans:


Do you think we'll get a English trailer for AA6?

 

[Rie Sonomura]

My top wanted Smash DLC character announcements are Snake, Mecha-Fiora and Wolf, the first two being absolute musts. Anyone else after those three is a nice bonus. Neku's a pipe dream that would be awesome if he happened.

Other things I'd like to see?
- Star Fox Zero info
- Fire Emblem Fates release date
- more Xenoblade X info
- Splatoon DLC
- Twilight Princess HD (a given at this point)
- (pipe dream) GC digital downloadable titles such as The Thousand Year Door, Eternal Darkness, Star Fox Adventures and Assault, and Baten Kaitos
- (pipe dream) Non-Zelda GC HD remakes like F-Zero GX HD, Mario Sunshine HD and mayyyyybe Luigi's Mansion HD sure why not
- Iwata tribute segment (I'm sure they will)
- Roy, Ryu, Lucas Amiibo

 

[AreJay25]

So if we do get a Smash character today...

They'll probably start off with it, if previous Directs are anything to go by.

 

[Deleted member]

What's unreasonable about that?



1. She's a robot, not a girl

2. She doesn't actually exist

3. Her proportions don't even match that of a 13y.o. her pelvis is the midpoint like that of an adult. Meaning, she has an adult body, with the "age" of a child, and a moe moe animu face like ALL animu girls.

4. I don't even care about potato girl, I mostly care about DAT *** on Elma being untouched, and not having to listen to the atrocious English voice acting and "Skell."

Also also,

She was 14, even in the western version of the show, but no one ever gave a **** there.

1. Why, thank you for spoiling me
2. Brb going to draw some child porn then, they don't exist after all
3. I'm not surprised you noticed those things but okey
4. Ok, if you think a character's sexual appeal is important, then that is you *shrug emoticon*
Also, Doll-to-Skell change is not censorship, I may not like it but I'm not complaining vecause of a name
5. Because comparing an anime to a Nintendo game makes sense? If we went by anime standards we wouldn't haveany E rated games

Haven't most direct reveals been closer towards the beginning? I'm putting my money on that happening.
