[Shiggy]

A new trailer for #Splatoon2 will also air at the end of the #ARMS Direct.

 

[NotLiquid]

Announce an ASMR mode where I spend time in Minmin's restaurant listening to the sounds of cooking

 

[Nibel]

DetectiveGAF redeemed

 

[metsallica]

Nice! This game is going to surprise people.

 

[jobrro]

Would love a demo or test fire announcement.

 

[Trago]

Detective GAF redeemed!

EDIT: DAMMIT

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

The more the merrier. If there is to be a playable demo, as there really should be, it's now or never.

 

[llehuty]

Detective GAF redeemed?

In any case, hype.

 

[Hanmik]

 

[Jim_Cacher]

YES YES YES

 

[Dark Cloud]

Detective Gaf redeemed!!!

 

[Shiggy]

Detective GAF was absolutely right

 

[taco543]

that's not pokemon stars, but still hyped regardless

 

[JoeM86]

There's also a new Splatoon 2 video coming out at the same time

 

[NotLiquid]

Is that a new Spring Man render?

Oooh Splatoon 2 trailer

Wonder if there's a crossover in there somewhere

 

[_PsiFire_]

That was out of nowhere..

 

[AlexFlame116]

This is not the Pokemon Direct that I was looking for...

I guess it's still great that we're going to be hearing more about Arms though.

 

[ForkNetwork]

Wait
wait a second

Was DetectiveGAF right?

 

[E-phonk]

Why does the ARMS announcement have ink splattered over it

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Are folks looking forward to Arms? It just doesn't look that interesting to me.

 

[TAS]

PAME!!!

 

[Busaiku]

Nooo, wanted Pokémon.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Neat. Hopefully this also gives us a glimpse of Splatoon 2's single player.

 

[TheSuperSakura]

They're also showing a new trailer for Splatoon 2 too, I'm so excited! Especially after reading the newest Splatoon 2 Callie and Marie chapter.

I absolutely cannot wait to see the ARMS stuff, Min Min and Ribbon Girl are my favorite characters so far so I'm hoping to see a lot of footage about/featuring them.

 

[Babymario26]

Man e3 is too far away.... i hope its more than just those two games.

 

[RecRoulette]

Hope the Splatoon trailer focuses on the story stuff, especially considering the last Squid Sisters Stories.

 

[HubbaBubba]

Will this be the direct where they give a real reason to pay $80 Canadian for this game?

 

[Jonneh3003]

Sorry the thread got locked detective GAF,you were right all along.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

I thought it was kind of ironic how the Direct last month that focused on ARMS and Splatoon didn't really show off a lot of ARMS. Since it's releasing after E3, it's smart to give it its own presentation now so it doesn't get drowned out later.

Ed - SPLATOON 2 TRAILER TOO YESSS

 

[callhitman]

Is it a arms only event

 

[Zedark]

Welp, time to unfire DetectiveGAF again, right?

That focus on ARMS is expected imo, interested to see what other tidbits they'll share with us!

Edit: Maybe I should read OP's in the future, helps me understand that there is no 'focus on' wording in the actual announcement.

 

[Mellahan]

Detective GAF was right!... right?

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Do not fuck with detective Gaf.

So, maybe a surprise Stars announcement?

 

[Regiruler]

 

[Berordn]

Are folks looking forward to Arms? It just doesn't look that interesting to me.

The more they show, the more interested I get. The reveal trailer was a little lackluster but everything they've shown since actually makes the game look a lot deeper than we might've expected from the first glimpse.

 

[thisisvlad]

So they went through e3 planning and ran out of room, and decided to showcase this and a Splatoon 2 trailer? Sound good to me. E3 here we come.

 

[DNAbro]

C'mon Nintendo. Convince me that I want this game.

 

[FelipeMGM]

New trailer for Splatoon 2 to be shown too

 

[llehuty]

Hmmmmm, at the Splatoon and Arms crossover... Nintendo Squishy Universe confirmed?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Yeah baby! Bring on ARMS!

 

[Makki]

ARMS is to Nintendo as KNACK was to Sony I feel like.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Detective Gaf got closed too early. They were right some sort of Direct was coming.

 

[NotLiquid]

They should open up the Direct with Spring Man and Ribbon Girl doing an extended "Directly" pose.

It would be perfect.

 

[wild wild rice]

Fock yes game looks great gimme a demo pleaee

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

The more they show, the more interested I get. The reveal trailer was a little lackluster but everything they've shown since actually makes the game look really interesting and a lot deeper than we might've expected from the first glimpse.

I hope they have some surprises to announce in the Direct that may turn me around on the game.

 

[GinoFelino]

Yaaasssss

 

[James Scott]

Wonder if they'll reveal all the characters here or save some for spoilers e3. Also wonder if Splatoon 2 will get coverage at e3

 

[Dystify]

So, maybe a surprise Stars announcement?

A game as big as Pokémon Stars as surprise announcement on a Nintendo Direct focused on ARMS? Highly unlikely.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Wait, didn't we just get one of these?
