Nintendo Direct coming November 12 [Over]

If that list rumor is right, then I bet the six characters announced will be the following:
Released After Direct:
-Shovel Knight
-Wolf
-Inking (Boy and Girl)

Released Early 2016:
-Ice Climber
-Poll Character #1
-Surprised Third Party Guest - Shantae, Klona or Rayman

It's not correct. Mobile stuff deems it so.
Also, F-Zero X 3D? Come on.

SMS wasn't sub-par for a Mario game, it was just different.

Let's see if you understand it this way:

whether someone likes sunshines's level design or not, he/she should still acknowledge sunshine's problems:

- some of the content that made it into the final game was embarrasingly bad.
- the game not respecting the player's time. Blue coins = crazy amount of effort for almost no return. Shines where the game will kick you out of the level every time you fail, even though you still have plently of lives left. And it gets way worse, a clear example being the shine where you have to go to that island with yoshi in those slow moving boats just to get a try at beating a secret shine... hopefully you don't have to do it all again... The shine where you have to get the proper fruit for yoshi, only to get a chance at doing a series of crazy jumps with the mess that was yoshi. Misjudge one jump and you fall all the way down to the water. You now have to move all the way back to the top, try a couple times to get the proper fruit, and try the jumps again. Repeat. There's just so many times where the game will do this... the watermelon shine, the... shine... the game has poorly designed shines for days. Half the game was filler. The game was light on high quality content for a 3d mario game.
- the camera getting stuck in the enviroment...
- yoshi... no comment. How did that make it into the final game!? Since when does picking yoshi mean that you should lose most of your moves?

Oh no, but..

Yes, the game has some issues, but the flexibility, variety, and freedom you're given to traverse the gameworld completely overshadows any bad thing you can say about it.

we should ignore everything bad with the game because the only thing that matters is if moving mario around is fun!?

no.

Sunshine wasn't just different. It was a sub-par nintendo game that had great game mechanics. Most player wouldn't play the game doing all kind of crazy things with mario like if it was a speedrun. The would instead play "normaly" (doing mainly what the levels ask them to do) and fight with all the game's problems.
 
Why are so many people suddenly expecting Snake in Smash? Lol.

Or is it just wishful thinking?
You haven't been in a Nintendo Direct thread before, have you? Most people in these threads hype themselves up so much that they start believing all kinds of things with infinetisimal probabilities of happening, and then wonder why the actual event doesn't live up to their expectations afterwards.

Just ridiculous wishful thinking.

A hopeless desire sadly.

I'll never stop believing. He's coming back.
The greatest addition to smash deserves no less.

This direct is just going to be about snake

I'm not buying the "Reveal of Zelda Wii U's subtitle without gameplay".
They gotta show us some sort of in engine footage, it's been too long.

None as interesting as snake. No one even throws grenades in that group. Or have remote controlled rockets. Or other cool things.

Eh, shiek basically has a grenade move, and other characters have controllable moves. Only was added in the first place because of a favor. I doubt he will ever be playable again.
 
Any fun new rumors or 'leaks' yet besides that one with the F-Zero X 3D one that's obviously fake?

The best smash characters would be K Rool, inkling, isaac, bomberman, layton, people unique and interesting.

This list would be cool. I'm always alright with Bomberman, especially if it means getting music from Bomberman Hero. Cool choices.

As for Snake... i have opinions on him, but this isn't the thread for that.
 
I just want more unique fighters and most veterans by this point, I'll take Pichu of all things ffs.

Heck, I'm more excited for my amiibo mail order coming tomorrow than the Direct right now, gotta keep expectations low.
 
Snake had such a cool playstyle that I don't see how anyone could oppose him coming back.

I mean not caring one way or the other is one thing, but c'mon. Rocket Propelled Grenade for his Up smash.

My issue is he is not a Nintendo allstar. Or even a third party with major ties to Nintendo like the others. He was added as a favor.

If we were to get more third parties (which I do not even want), let them be with characters with ties to Nintendo
 
I wonder why I keep seeing Klonoa mentioned for Smash. That'd be such a good choice too but I wonder how that started.

Him and Bomberman would be perfect third party additions.

Edit: You Snake fans sure are passionate haha.

Honestly, all I care about is if the third party character in question is a gaming allstar in general, which Snake is. Even if someone like Shantae or Shovel Knight is more associated with Nintendo or whatever I'd prefer Snake because he's an icon in his own right and MGS is a big name in the gaming world. That's what I think matters. He belongs with the likes of Sonic, Ryu and Pac-Man.

Makes sense if they want to focus on TP HD instead. Show footage of TP HD and reveal Zelda U's title, so that everyone is happy.

That's the weakest excuse against snake.

Which is fine. We all want what we want. To me Bomberman, Layton, a DQ character for example, fit Nintendo better than Snake did. Clearly the favor with Kojima ran out or he would have been in the game (we know how much he hates cutting characters)

Snake is an icon to the gaming world in his own right, though.

And I don't think something like this really matters that much when Snake is a fun character that plenty of people appreciated the inclusion of. It'd be different if there was no audience at all for him but people liked him in Brawl a lot and want to see him back.

If Sony ever did another all star game, I would say Snake should be the first choice, for Smash? nah, people would not even want him in if he was not added just as a favor in brawl.
 
This is a NINTENDO all stars game. There are always Nintendo characters to add.

This logic is pretty limiting. If you keep sticking to just Nintendo characters eventually people are just going to stop caring about who gets added by the time Smash 8 rolls around and the only characters they can put in are Goomba and Darknut. Getting some surprising guest characters like Snake and Ryu every once in a while is only good for the game.

I disagree, especially when over 7 Nintendo series do not even have one playable character yet. I am all for guest characters, just one with more ties to Nintendo, like Ryu, Sonic, Pacman, megaman. Layton fits.

It was nice of Sakurai to add Snake in at all. He was not going to be added any other way than a personal request from his friend Kojima.

:U

Just say you don't personally care for Snake and want Layton or something instead. There's no good reason for him not to be in, but if you don't care for him, that's fine.

New Nintendo Direct, so this is when I try to get a tiny ember of hope that Dragon Quest 7 / Monsters 1/2 / DQX / maybe some of the new games might get announced...

... Except Dragon Quest Heroes debuted at like 18 on the sales charts which means Square Enix is going to call that a financial disaster. And thus ends Dragon Quest in the west.
 
Does anyone know of any Splatoon stuff that could be announced for this? Is everything from the 2.0 patch released yet, or close to it? There's no way they're done with Splatoon yet.

too much smash talk
