Nice! Probably the best shiny of all time.

I remember trying to get shiny Zygarde like this.

It was very painful

 

[MooMew64]

Oh so it's Konosuba? I don't really read that much.

OK Konosuba is admittedly worse

Nice! Probably the best shiny of all time.

Someone on a forum randomly gave me one way back in ORAS.

I should check if it’s legit or not. full stop it probably ain’t lol

Klonoa is very fun

Klonoa is very fun

Spoiler

wahoo

 

[MooMew64]

I like all it takes for YTers and news sites to say there's a Direct "rumored" is for enough random people on Twitter to beg for one in an attempt to will one into being.

Hopefully we can get a proper Klonoa 3 next.

Directs are rumored every February, June, and September at this point.

Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong.

Has no one learned by now?

It took me over a year to get Zygarde and like 1000 raids. Still an amazing shiny though, and mostly worth it.

BUT NOI LOOK AT THIS WIKIPEDIA SCREENSHOT, IT SAYS THAT A DIRECT HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER A LOT

THAT'S A PATTERN

Now, if we psychoanalyze Nintendo's current CEO and cross-reference it with what he typically does every Mon-Wed morning (Directs only get announced on these days!), we can start to narrow it down. Nintendo typically waits for a game to be released before promoting a new one, so Splatoon here, SPLATOON IS THE KEY. Once that launches, the future is considerably more bare, which means they have to show me more games I won't buy to keep the hype going so I can argue with people on social media over how many beeg numbers my plastic box of choice shifted.

Fire Emblem is also rumored to be getting a title soon here...Cross that with Mario Rabbids needing a DLC trailer, the obvious announcement Sora was a fakeout and Sakurai's new channel is the new home of Smash Directs and the Gex revival, and we got ourselves a done deal. Direct will air exactly on September 31st, click this link to be notified when it goes live!

Throwback to when we didn’t get a direct in the first weeks of September last year, and everyone swore the month was dead, until they randomly dropped it in the last week.

That was a big one, too. With Kirby and N64 Online and the Mario cast.

Nintendo does what they want. And while they do have general patterns, they don’t have to adhere to them. There’s probably a lot of funny marketing stuff going on behind the scenes that we have no idea about.

The sooner people realize this the better

Just you wait till Sakurai starts uploading videos from the back rooms, launching a Sakurai is missing ARG.

All leading to the announcement that Sakurais next game is Mario Is Missing 2.

Every video of his has a secret letter that's slightly misaligned. Line them all up, and it'll reveal the first character for Smash Ultimate DX+.

Don't worry, I'll have a video on it soon. There will be red circles and arrows.

Mania was a disaster in the lomg run

Just waiting for "Sonic Boom wasn't that bad"

 

[TheMightyP]

Now, in all fairness Frontiers looked pretty bad from the early footage. But the latest trailers showed that it has cleaned up a lot and while still janky in some areas, it looks like a solid good time overall.

 

[MooMew64]

Mania was a disaster in the lomg run

The consequences of Mania, the movie redesign, and some fangame devs developing egos the size of the moon from the unhealthy fandom worship.

Just waiting for "Sonic Boom wasn't that bad"

The 3DS games already have apologists, only a matter of time.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Frontiers... sadness

It's almost as if the game footage wasn't final.
