I will say it, but Sans has great moveset potential.
I also really want to see what Palutena says about him during Palutena's Guidance.

"Careful Pit. If you take one more step towards him, you're gonna have a bad time..."

 

[Lollipopped]

It's more like I have this awful feeling that I'm being turned on. And I know all of you don't mean it that way, and I should know better considering my age and experience, but it still happens...

Hey, I know how you feel about being ignored.
After all, I am a statue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But it in all seriousness, I don't think people are ignoring you. Pretty sure everyone's just too focused on the direct and deadpan humor, so it'll probably die down in a few days, maybe.

 

[Zinith]

Working early is good for me. I am an early bird.
Also I try to get good sleep, but sometimes I struggle.

Great for you Shiny, but it doesn't work for me.

 

[LetterO]

If the DLC is decided based on who Nintendo's seeming to be really buddy buddy with, then this is what I think would be the DLC pass.

-Joker
-Crash
-Sans
-Doomguy
-Steve

I have a question for Animal Crossing fans. Is Isabelle a socialist?

 

[KMDP]

God I need Super Mario Maker 2, Three Houses, Link’s Awakening, Dragon Quest 11 S, Final fantasy 7 and Dragon Quest Builders 2 right now!

I'm so looking forward to Mario Maker 2 and Three Houses. They look super good!

Also, just realised: "Link's Awakening DX DX"

 

[TheCJBrine]

okay so:

Pit: "Hey, Palutena, who's this skeleton guy...?"

"And...why does he keep telling me bad puns...?"

Palutena: "Oh, that's Sans the Skeleton! He and I became friends last night."

Pit: "Huh?"

Sans: "yeah, we had a good time over at grillby's, the best food joint in the underground."

Pit: "Oh, so...you don't mind telling me how I can fight you, do you?"

Sans: "sorry, kiddo, but i'm afraid you're gonna have a bad time."

Pit: "Oh...alright then..."

No, pretty sure she's a cartoon dog.

 

[Noipoi]

Spoiler: Noipoi's Direct reactions

I ain't gonna do everything, just the big stuff.

Mario Maker 2 - Hell yeah! Mario Maker was so much fun, can't wait to see what they do this this! All the new stuff looks great, but most importantly, SLOPES!

Smash- The big Spring update sounds promising, I hope it brings lots of goodies! Especially new modes! Also, Joker's butt.

Dragon Quest - Looks rad. Don't know if i'll get it, but it looks rad.

Yoshi's Crafted World - Looks rad. Don't know if i'll get it, but it looks rad. Those crafted costumes are adorable.

Three Houses - Actually looks very promising! I like the teacher thing! I'll have to check it out in July.

Deltarune - Another Toby Fox game. Sans in Smash.

Astral Chain - Big Meh

Link's Awakening - Everyone says it'll be great, so i'll check it out. Hope it's good!

Overall, Pretty good. I would've liked Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion and Pokemon but for what we got i'm pretty happy. It gave enough answers, while still raising questions, and it added three games to my list. I might have to update my sig.

Seriously though. I hope Gen 8 is announced soon.

I need it.

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly I'm just banking on a Pass 2, which I do think will happen at some point, Ultimate is selling like hotcakes. I feel like Rex is very likely for that, as there are no more timing restrictions or whatever

Here's the thing, too, that still gets me confused.

They included Xenoblade 2 music, but not Counterattack. Y'know, the one song everyone from Little Timmy-Jimmy who doesn't even know what anime is to the biggest Xenoblade fan knows.

And I'll even put money that Smash Ultimate would have sold 20 million copies by the end of April during Joker's release, if they already sold 12 million so far. They can't just stop at one Fighter Pass after all of that. After all, they said it themselves. "Why close the door, when we could add even more?"

Also damn, Nintendo gettin' really cocky with how Ultimate has been successful, huh? "The fastest-selling console-exclusive game in history" is in their video description for the separate Smash section.

Not sure if having four western third party characters in the pass, makes sense

In a world with a completely free market and no taxation, I'd say it's a hard no.

 

[kylexv]

On one hand I got my most wanted game on the Switch confirmed in Mario Maker 2.
On the other hand, I wasn't really interested at anything else.

Overall OK direct I guess.

 

[KMDP]

Well... if you believe hotdiggedydemon, she is.

But I don't think political leanings of that nature would be something Nintendo would establish. So... "ehhh?"

 

[Nazyrus]

So Link's Awakening just saying "2019" probably means holiday or around that, right?

Wasn't Ultimate at like 12 mil in their last report? That's only one mil away from Brawl's lifetime sales, and Brawl was the best selling fighting game of all time. I would say that more DLC is pretty ****ing likely.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So I kinda ****ing need Three Houses right now So Nintendo, If you are listening

Their last report was that since launch and in three weeks, they've sold 12 million, yeah. Was during the end of January that it was reported, so who knows how many more they've sold in these past two weeks?

 

[Shroob]

We honestly should have a thread poll on the topic of March/April Smash-focused Direct.


It seems all but confirmed at this point with how we basically know nothing about Joker, his stage, his music etc, and the Direct itself hinting at something that could be theorized to be Stage Builder.


But at the same time, I feel like not everyone is on board with that idea.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Demo.

Demo is good

well, there was a fan animation that ended with Her looking up at a picture of Karl Marx on her wall

To continue from earlier.


I think your view is a touch flawed to be blunt. We KNOW that Joker isn't the only character being currently worked on internally, and was worked on before the game even came out, same with "Brave".


The fact of the matter is though, time isn't on the Smash team's side if they take your approach. Yes, a character may take a long time to make, but we have a year to release 5 characters, 10 months by the time Joker comes out. That seems like a long time, but a year really isn't.

If we don't get Brave before E3, then the 2nd half of 2019 is going to be more or less packed when it comes to dlc releases.


That, and I honestly don't think they would have put 'Brave' in to begin with if he wasn't decently along in development.



Piranha Plant was very close to being done by the time Smash launched.

Joker had nothing but a trailer but had started development before Smash came out

And Brave is in the same boat.



If we do get something in April to show off the features of 3.0.0 and Joker's gameplay, which seems more or less soft confirmed to have to happen, then I fully expect Brave would get revealed at that date too and probably released alongside Joker.



By the time Joker comes out, there will be naught but 10 months to have the DLC wrapped up. That sounds like a long time, but it's really not, and if the Smash 4 team could fit 7 characters in there in roughly the same time, I fully believe that Brave is within a playable state internally.

I'm just going off what Sakurai said in the November Direct. If the DLC hadn't begun at the time the video was recorded, then I highly doubt he would've been able to have a second brand new character ready in 3-4 months, let alone Joker. The development team is far smaller, and based off the patterns we saw in Smash 4, a character usually takes him at least seven months to create before its release. Another hint should've been the "might take until 2020" part he added in the Direct. Having 2 of three characters announced by February is a pretty quick pace.

I get where your coming with, but I don't think there's much that suggests Sakurai has gotten far with this DLC. Finding a few files might indicate some kind of progress, but there's nothing that proves exactly how much that progress would be.

 

[Zinith]

I'm not aware of any Fire Emblem ones, so have a Mario instead

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

God damnit, Noipoi.

"Nice of the Princess to invite us over for a picnic, eh Luigi?"

Demo is good

Awakening had a demo.

Just saying.

But again, you have to understand the time crunch the team is under.

We're not going to have a lot more general Directs this year, E3, maybe one in the fall, and MAYBE one in November/December, that's it.


They have 10 months to push out 4 characters after Joker, and yes, I DO believe that DLC started work before the game was finished, that's not even a question.

 

[Diem]

To be fair, I too was focused on the Direct, even if it was primarily Yoshi focused...

This is just what happens when you're interested in things that aren't too popular. Yoshi isn't very popular among the older gaming demographic, even though his games sell pretty well. Similarly, very few people were excited for Dark Samus when she was announced, and not many more are clamoring for a new Chibi-Robo game. And ain't nobody remembers my boy Dimentio.

It's tough liking things that aren't that popular, because then it's hard to share your enthusiasm with others. I was freaking out about Dark Samus last year, but very few people online were partying over that specifically. Everyone was marking out about Simon, Richter, Chrom, and K. Rool, and I and only a small handful of other people were primarily excited about Dark Samus. All my closer friends/family had no familiarity with the character, so to them I just came off as an insane person.

If it makes you feel any better, your enthusiasm for Yoshi has rubbed off on me, at least. I've never bought or played a Yoshi game before--never paid him or his games much attention--but I plan on getting Crafted World. Gonna try out the demo this weekend

But at the same time, I feel like not everyone is on board with that idea.

They're gonna have to give him a proper trailer at some point, and they could've done it now. He's only like two months out from release. The fact that they didn't indicates to me that they're saving it. And I don't see getting another general Direct by April, so Smash Direct it is.

Tetris 99 is surprisingly a ton of fun, Good game. Also we're totally getting a season 2 with how well Ultimate has sold it's super likely which if case this train isn't gonna stop anytime soon!
