I do also have the Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card, but it is inside the case of my Wii U copy for Pokkén Tournament.

And as a bonus, two mangas I’m currently reading:

Any chance we should expect anything Smash related in this Super Mario Maker direct? As some said we might get Mii costumes or something but I'm presuming that's it as far as Smash related goes.

Absolutely not.

This is a Mario Maker Direct, not a general or Smash Direct.

Do not actually expect real Smash news to come out of this.

I would suggest you to do so since I doubt the idea.

Alright, now I see where some people are coming from with the whole Sony censorship deal. Found this from Spawn Wave, and I legit don't understand going to these drastic measures.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Now, at the end of the day, there's an audience for these games, and I'm definitely ain't the that. But as coming from someone who paid logos and worked with people who make those, and the amount of time and work put into them, it's straight-up disrespectful to just straight up cut off almost a third of what the logo designer did. I think it's pretty tongue and cheek, but to get rid of it? That's some money and time that person is never gonna get back.

And I assume why the Switch version of this game is more expensive is probably because Sony cut modes or what have you, to make it "safer" for the kids, even though that isn't the clear demographic at all. Here's some bigger quotation marks to ensure I'm serious.

Look, I ain't about anime ****, but this **** keeps on getting more and more rampant, and it ain't helping their case with the Switch probably outselling the PS4 by now over there and Japanese developers making the shift.

The name says it all:

"Mario Maker Direct"

Not Smash Direct, not even a general direct. Mario Maker Direct

Excepting Smash will only lead yourself to serious disappointment

Since we're sharing collections now, my favorite is my collection of Sega ****.

Legit Saturn stuff is hard to come by.

 

[Pyra]

No, there isn't.

0%

Impossible.

And thus, the idea to the contrary is inserted into the aether...

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I misinterpreted for some reason I swore someone said something about Mii costumes and such so that's what lead to me asking.

Nintendo needs to get a grip on the fact that they don’t need to make every single game kid friendly. Just let the game devs do what they want. (As long as it’s like, ok for the Switch, of course.)

Nice collection! I only have two Sega Saturn games as of now. Then again, I don't even own a Sega Saturn yet...

 

[Deleted member]

I could also share the top of the shelf, my another but tiny one and some of the physical games I own:

Most of my Switch games are on a backpack since I took the console during the past weekend to my grandfather’s house.

What if the first State Of Play turned out so lackluster due to censorship?

I... think you meant Sony?

I dunno, I just also think this is hilarious that somehow THAT ain't okay, but we're gonna let The Last of Us 2 and Mortal Kombat 11 slide.

 

[Deleted member]

Once every dlc character is out we can live in a world where people don’t expect everything in the gaming industry to have something to do with Smash again.

You really are naive, huh

Everyday I find it ironic that almost two decades ago Nintendo was the company censoring things to be family friendly and Sony went uncensored

If there is a Direct for a game that isn’t Smash, then you should expect there to be no Smash news. Nintendo sells games that aren’t Smash, believe it or not.

Smash is not going to get a huge chunk of time at E3. At most, it will receive a 15 minute Direct prior to the Nintendo E3 showcase that will cover new character (s), content updates, etc. This could be similar to the Joker/3.0 update video.

Other games do not always need Smash to bolster their presence. I would actually suggest that Smash will be left alone until E3, as that’s where the bigger announcements will be.

As Square wants to push Dragon Quest in the West, I would not be surprised if Erdrick is revealed there. Dragon Quest is getting a big time re-release on Switch, and was heavily promoted in the last General Direct. It’s entirely possible.

Basically, as we have said for months, do not expect everything to be related to Smash. People are going out of their way to connect things. There was a Game of Thrones Xbox revealed, and the logo was changed to an Xbox logo with fire. Rather than making the connection there, Smash fans made it about Smash.

Not. Everything. Is. Because. Of. Smash.

Sad thing is I’m fairly certain there’s gonna be a few people watching with that mentality.

Umm... Nintendo is in the clear. It's Sony who is censoring the stuff.

Kinda ironic, I know. But it's true.

 

[staindgrey]

Nice collection! I only have two Sega Saturn games as of now. Then again, I don't even own a Sega Saturn yet...

In that case, owning two whole games is overachieving.

If you ever get a Saturn, check to make sure the internal clock's battery works. Any Saturn's battery would have died by now, so they need replaced, which requires soldering equipment.

That kind of thing happen when one learn some humility after a big failure and the other grow arrogant due to lods of success.

"we're pleased to announce that you can now play the award-winning persona 5 for free within super smash bros ultimate itself"

"for three minutes, from the title screen"

 

[Z25]

Also I guess no sword and shield news this month. Tomorrow would have been the only other logical day to show a trailer but they aren’t going to take from the directs spotlight.

So I guess we get a big blowout for it at E3.

My guess is that and animal crossing will get a lot of focus. With a better look at Luigi’s mansion and smash obviously. That’s probably the biggest titles for E3 this year if I had to guess
