Rosalina officially outclass Peach, once again in the SmaBro official arts!

 

[BGBW]

Demo incoming.

#believe

For those who find a golden ticket in their next Wii U game purchase from this list of applicable titles.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Hypopppppeeeeerre!

 

[KingSnake]

A demo released at the same time with Bayo 2 would be such a crap idea, unless it's bound to it.

 

[Hasney]

The same day Bayonetta 2 comes out. Of course!

This is much more effective than any "Why not take a break?" Nintendo graphic ever at least.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I'm surprised they don't delay the European Direct until the 7th of November, since we're getting the game two weeks late.

Spoiler

I'm just kidding because I'm still salty about it

They had to wait for Amiibo to be out (as those got a one week delay) to have the Mario Amiibo SKU that no sane person would buy (a Mario Amiibo costs less than the Gamecube controller Adapter, the Adatper bundle is cheaper the Amiibo bunlde)

 

[Sendou]

A demo released at the same time with Bayo 2 would be such a crap idea, unless it's bound to it.

Yeah can't see a demo happening. The 3DS version is the demo!

 

[Platy]

FIFTY ????!!!!

My body is not ready.... yet

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

Bring on the demos. Show us those game modes. Show us those polished graphics. Give us something that will redeem the Wii U version at full price.

Our bodies are ready.

 

[IsntChrisL]

This plus Bayo 2 is gonna make for a nice way to end my week.

 

[legend101]

Hope I am home in time to watch it, probably be stuck in traffic though -_-.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Yeah can't see a demo happening. The 3DS version is the demo!

Well aren't you funny

 

[Hours Left]

Direct on Thursday. Fantasy Life on Friday.

Nintendo killing it this week.

 

[Benzychenz]

We're most definitely going to see Ridley on the Pyrosphere here. It will be glorious.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I'm a little skeptical about the 50 new things, but bring it on!

About one month to go here in the US!

 

[axisofweevils]

If there is a demo, I think everyone should ensure right now that their account is set up to receive promotional email from Nintendo....

 

[Beaniedude]

My smash will be ready!
ALWAYS READY!

 

[TDLink]

So let's try to figure out the 50 things...

Coin Battle?
8 Player Smash?
Smash World?
Special/Master/Crazy Orders?
3DS/Wii U Connectivity?

New Stages?

New Bosses? (EX: Metal Face)

And of course, New Characters?

 

[ffdgh]

1: Snake
2: Snake
3: Snake
4: Snake
5: Snake

need I say more?

"This is a once in a lifetime chance snake"

 

[Sendou]

Well aren't you funny

It wasn't meant to be a joke. If you took it as one then that tells more about you than me.

 

[abstract alien]

FIFTY ????!!!!

My body is not ready.... yet

#50 - Due to fan outcry, you will be able to play this on the New 3DS in NA on release day

 

[lord_of_flood]

Shit, I'm going to be on my way out of town as this is airing. That makes me really sad, I would've liked to watch it live. Guess I'll just have to stick to Twitter instead.

 

[hwy_61]

If they put out a demo, I can see people running out to buy WiiUs haha

 

[Zoon]

Why is everyone getting hyped?It's not like there's gonna be new characters.New game modes?I'll pass.

 

[FreedomFighter]

L~A, how the hell are you so fast?

In any event, can't wait!

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

"If you were a Platinum member, and didn't get a demo code for the 3DS version, you're getting one for the Wii U version right now!"

Spoiler

They didn't send me a 3DS demo code...

 

[TDLink]

Why is everyone getting hyped?It's not like there's gonna be new characters.New game modes?I'll pass.

There could be.

Plus info on new modes and new stage reveals are still cool.

 

[BGBW]

Why is everyone getting hyped?It's not like there's gonna be new characters.New game modes?I'll pass.

Because there is more to Smash than characters (new stages > new characters). For example we know Stage Builder is returning, but it would be nice to see if they improved it.

 

[Jethro]

Too early for a demo.

 

[Scum]

Yay!

The same day Bayonetta 2 comes out. Of course!

My Bayonetta IS READY!

 

[Storm Kyleis]

We have 49 characters so far, not counting the different Mii types. #50 will be the first DLC character reveal.

Believe.

 

[hwy_61]

"If you were a Platinum member, and didn't get a demo code for the 3DS version, you're getting one for the Wii U version right now!"

Spoiler

Same. Some people called CS and got them that way, but I was like, ahh forget it.

 

[Shahadan]

Nintendo trying to make Platinum games sell even less yet again.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Oh, there are eight characters in the photo. Maybe a hint?

Hype!!!

 

[SliceSabre]

Oh nice! I was hoping there would be one. Hopefully it'll have trailers for Bowser Jr and the like.

 

[Hours Left]

L~A, how the hell are you so fast?

In any event, can't wait!

L~A is the internet.

 

[J@hranimo]

The final stretch of the smash bros hype train! Woooo!

 

[Not75Drops]

Maybe Ridley (along with Metal Face) can be finally shown as a boss so people will shut up about him.

 

[L~A]

Added countdown to the OP:

 

[TheRealTalker]

I hope there is some bundle deal akin to Mario Kart 8

I got the Smash gamecube adapter bundle (the game, a gamecube pad, and the adapter) but some bundle WiiU package would be nice for a person buying the console this holiday like myself

 

[Tenki]

Added countdown to the OP:

Man, so close, yet so far

 

[tnaden]

Added countdown to the OP:

You added an extra 24h. It should be on the 23rd GMT.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Bayo1+2 and Smash direct on Friday...NOT SURE IF BODY IS READY

 

[FreedomFighter]

Euphoric for Smash.

Depressed for Bayo.

Unless... Bayo has something to do with this...

Expecting 8 players mode since I heard about it in another thread.

That would just be freaking insane. :O

If we get 8-player mode, I will faint.

A demo released at the same time with Bayo 2 would be such a crap idea, unless it's bound to it.

That's how Konami sold Zone of Enders and Square sold Tobal No. 1

This is much more effective than any "Why not take a break?" Nintendo graphic ever at least.

Bayo is in Smash, guys. She's one of dem 50 new thangs.

Nintendo trying to make Platinum games sell even less yet again.

See above comment.

 

[TDLink]

Alright, I've compiled a list of some things we basically know are coming but haven't been announced and thus are probably likely to be announced here, let me know if I missed something.

1. Boss Battle Mode
2. Tourney Mode
3. Yellow Team
4. Event Match
5. Coin Battle
6. Special Smash
7. 8 Player Smash
8. Special Orders/Master Orders/Crazy Orders
9. Ticket Selection?
10. Smash World
11. Official Tourney?
12. Stage Builder
13. Temple Stage
14. Great Cave Offensive Stage
15. Metal Face (in some way)
16. Ridley (in some way)
17. More with Amiibos?
18. 3DS/Wii U Connectivity

Not even close to 50, although these may be most of the big things...

 

[Orakio Rob]

L~A is the internet.

Somehow, his Twitter updates five minutes in advance of ours.

 

[Mistouze]

Nintendo expects me to play Bayonetta 2 AND watch this Direct?

 

[Benzychenz]

So this is at 9am Saturday here.

I start work at 9am.

And do a double shift.

That day is going to be torture.

 

[DizzyCrow]

What if Bayonetta comes with a code for a demo or if you register it on CN you get a demo?

 

[Spinosaurus]

Oh cool. We'll finally see what Ridley can do as a boss.
