This doesn't seem like a normal direct. I'm not expecting any mind blowing revelations. If 8 player is real, I would love to see it though.

Can't wait to see it: the snippet was already so good.
"If you don't care about the games coming out, there's nothing for you to care about"
Isn't that a tautology? LOL
I get you overall point the release schedule on the Wii U is thin so its easier for their to be a window of time in which there is no game you care about but you might want to express it better
I'm sure those conversations have already happened. Did you forget about the 3DS data mining?

Surprisingly, I find this the least likely.
I wanto the Boardgame mode to be amiibo related.
It would be great to see a Mario Party-like mode where you can play as the amiibos you have, where during each turn you have to fight against friends or AI with different rules/levels/stage hazards/bosses every time. The winner get points to advance on the board and something like that.

Yeah, you're right though, what I said was kinda redundant.

Yeah im already bracing for DHD being the end of direct reveal.
Probably. They always broadcast Directs with subtitles in the Spanish NOE page: http://www.nintendo.es/Miscelaneo/N...n-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html.

If only Nintendo really did listen to my feedback.
At least they can't take brawl/project m away.
Man, I can't wait to have to leave for work right when this starts!

We already have one couple of months ago with Shulk, Xenoblade 3DS and New 3DS reveal. We might get one soon but who know *shrugs* I have a good feeling that we wouldn't get one until Jan/Feb 2015 since we already have good amount of games coming out in Holiday.
I'm saying Nintendo themselves may not be ready to talk about that yet.
Also, what if 8 Player Smash refers to the board game?
We won't get big direct before the end of the year me think, once Smash and Bayonetta will be release everywhere.
There is good games to look forward so no need to hype us with 2015 release for now.
Then hopefully it'll be "a game per month" on Wii U, like that old rumor said.

What's for WiiU in January?
What feels like the most barren month for gaming most of the time.

Apparently Mario Maker, Yoshi Wooly World, and Splatoon are all Q1 according to that Nintendo release schedule they tweeted. One of those is hopefully Jan.

I hope to see some other great reveal trailers. I mean, those are among the best things I've seen this generation so far:
well, there is a video
for Duck Hunt
Yeah, why would they talk about DLC before the holiday shopping season if it won't make it time for that season? The game hasn't even released yet. They're gonna wait to handle the DLC stuff in the sparser release period next year. At the earliest they'll talk about DLC in Feb or something.

He said no events, there are events
He didn't mention the Great Cave Offensive Level, I don't believe he mentioned WuHu island either, and that's a stage as well.
We don't really know when any of the 2015 stuff is exactly. But several are 'first half'.
Why are people still overly rapid for more characters or as if DLC will be talked about in this Direct? We didn't get MK8 DLC in its big Direct back in April (and people were hoping/expecting to see DLC confirmed for MK8 at E3!) But neither happened.
I understand "hype trains" and all but when the 3DS version came out the Wii U version's launch character roster was essentially revealed (no, they're not going to drop the "parity" of the character roster). That's what we're getting this year. I do not expect us to get any Smash DLC this year looking at how long it's taking MK8 to get its DLC.
There is a time and place to go bananas with hyping things up but this is not one of those times. We will just learn about the Wii U's modes and feature set that separate it from the 3DS version. Which is exciting enough as it is.
And I know some of you tend to joke but not everybody is, there are definitely people being serious about it just because of the datamining of the 3DS version -- which doesn't prove we're getting DLC sooner rather than later. All it shows is there is potential for DLC and it is likely but there's no timetable for it.

I fully expect 8 player smash to be revealed with Bowser Jr. because it makes sense dangnabbit
We're getting Miku and I'm not letting your pessimism get me!
Yeah, if there IS DLC, they won't talk about it before January I think. They didn't announce MK8's DLC until several months after release after all. And with the holidays, it's better to just let people enjoy the two games as much as possible... it's not like they aren't ultra-packed with content.
At the very best, they'll mention the game will get DLC in the future, but that's it.

The thought with early DLC announcements is that the characters will be on the default Wii U roster and DLC on the 3DS to provide incentive to purchase the Wii U version
If people don't care about controls or HD graphics than Smash Wii U will be a hard sell, so it needs something to get people to buy it, and exclusive release characters that the 3DS won't have until later is a perfect gimmick.

Well if Spainkiller is right and you can possibly unlock four new characters simply through connecting the two versions, as in right out of the box on Day 1, it seems weird Sakurai wouldn't mention that. I mean, that's a big deal I can't see him keeping as a total surprise.

Exactly. IF true, they would definitely tease it today.
That's a bug IF, though. Is there any evidence to support it?
Well he's not right, so that solves that mystery. Explains why we won't see any new playable characters today.

Wouldn't it being a big deal be the very reason for it to be a surprise?

Has he leaked something before?
Nah, I'm not any more sure than anyone else one way or the other. I don't have any evidence to go on, I'm only playfully asserting my opinion on it.
I just don't think he's right. Even if he is reliable, some one down the chain of information could easily be lying; his wasn't a first hand account. Either way though, I'm better off not believing it. This way I'm either right, or I get to play as extra characters. It's a no-lose scenario.

Well, SpainKiller himself says the person who told him has gave him legit information in the past.
I don't personally know him, but when he posted it, multiple people were on his side and stated that he's been a long-time member who's had legit info before, maybe not a "leak", but seems his word was worth much.

This list is sorta inaccurate though. The indie titles they have listed are both 2015 releases. I expect, in terms of exclusives, Jan-Feb will look like this:We don't really know when any of the 2015 stuff is exactly. But several are 'first half'.
Jan: Affordable Space Adventures, Swords and Soldier 2, +other indie releases
Feb: Mario Party 10 or Mario Maker
NOA has a history of not doing retail releases in January.
Is there going to be a demo after the stream right? If so, I better check now the "Receive e-mails from Nintendo" on my Club Nintendo account just in case... Bah, I honestly don't think there's going to be a demo, at least not today. Probably when we're 2 weeks again of release just like the 3DS version. My gud I remember the thread where everyone was asking for a 3DS demo code, hahaha
Here's the deal: if Sakurai doesn't finally explain Ridley properly, you can abandon all logic and reasoning and assume he is DLC or will be part of the Wii U roster and will be 3DS DLC later.
Otherwise, if it's not teased (the connectivity between the two systems) or anything related to DLC isn't teased, then don't expect to hear anything about DLC until 2015. And even then, character DLC is questionable (new characters take a long time to create, much longer than new characters in a Kart racer).

I will remain hopeful that Ice Climbers are in the Wii U version despite roster parity crying.
(Reminder: I'm a fan of roster parity just not when it keeps established veterans and other characters from being in either game.)
Sakurai: You may remember that previously I stated that the character rosters for the 3DS and Wii U versions would be the same. This is still true, with the exception of the veteran fighters, Ice Climbers! They were a bit too much for the 3DS to handle but here they are in all their glory on the Wii U!
Dear god please. I miss them so much

It happens toniiiight!!
I'm going to be at work though.. bah!
Will have to wait till I get off.. but I'll be so excited to get home.. Heehee.
Question: What's the logic behind the Samus Power Suit?
Is she tall, and the suit fits her perfectly?
Is she short, and the suit is that massive that her arms only go to the elbows and her legs only go to the knees, and the suit is controlled rather than just worn?

The Spainkiller leak is basically "Someone told me Ridley was in the game!"
Actually, it's not even that, it's "Someone told me he saw a Ridley model in the game!" The evidence of this is that he got information on Bowser Jr. before the ESRB videos came out, which, you know, Vaanrose leak.
It's such a weak rumor that people only believe because they want the characters he suggested and literally no other reason.
