Japanese Nintendo twitter says the new Splatoon 2 trailer is about two minutes long. That's a nice length if it's going to be about the story mode

 

[?oe?oe]

So in 8 hours?

Alright, night Gaf

 

[Kouichi]

YESSS

This is the direct I've been waiting for!

 

[Plum]

Yes! Hoping for a demo announcement but, if not, I'm fine with just more info about the game. Should see some info about singleplayer, they haven't talked about anything of the sort so far and it can't just be that training mode.

 

[Bamboo 竹]

I'm sorry for doubting you, detective GAF.

 

[Zedark]

I kinda like that we are getting info for those two known games right now, since it means there's more time at E3 to dedicate to new announcements and to new information for games we know very little about (Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Super Mario Odyssey, FE Switch?). This Direct makes me more excited for the E3 Direct too.

 

[Spades]

Would be a big mistake if they do not announce a demo for this.

 

[Kudo]

So in 8 hours?

Alright, night Gaf

What? Is this really that soon?
Tomorrow?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

So in 8 hours?

Alright, night Gaf

8 hours... plus 24. Today's the 16th.

 

[Dark Cloud]

So in 8 hours?

Alright, night Gaf

It's 32 hours.

 

[KevinG]

Yessss!

 

[Plum]

So in 8 hours?

Alright, night Gaf

8 hours and a day you mean. It's tomorrow.

 

[Speely]

YES. YESSSS!!!

 

[Some Nobody]

Feels like Pokémon Stars might not be a thing or they would've found space to hype it by now?

Anyway, an ARMS direct isn't a bad idea. Game is due out soon, right?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Not too excited about this game currently but glad for anyone that's hyped.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Aw no Pokemon...

Still this is great to hear! More Arms and Splatoon news!

 

[Drewboy64]

Wow, didn't think it would actually happen. Cool

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

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

No. This isn't a Nintendo Direct with a focus on ARMS. This is an ARMS Direct with a Splatoon 2 video. Don't expect anything else

Fiiinnnnneee

 

[Skittzo0413]

I knew they needed to do an ARMS focused direct. I really hope there's some substantial single player content, otherwise I probably won't be buying this.

And the fact that they don't say "focus" or anything should tell everyone quite clearly that this will be only ARMS with a Splatoon 2 trailer.

 

[radio_apeshot]

Posting in legendary DetectiveGAF redemption thread...

We need a demo to go live right after the Direct ends.

Hype!

 

[?oe?oe]

8 hours... plus 24. Today's the 16th.

It's 32 hours.

8 hours and a day you mean. It's tomorrow.

It sucks living in the future

Night for reals though.

 

[18-Volt]

Amiibos, please

 

[J@hranimo]

Loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA!

 

[WordAssassin]

So in 8 hours?

Alright, night Gaf

I think your math is a little off there, 3pm PT is more than 24 hours away.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Oh snap so no Arms at E3s Direct. Also detective Gaf is reinstated.

I'm sure everyone will all of a sudden read this one and understand what it says lol.

 

[Soul Lab]

They heard me!!

From the ARMS twitter thread yesterday:

ARMS launches in a month. Now they should start to push it more imo.
Where's the direct? I need it.
E3 is a bit late for the big info dump

 

[Enforced]

Nice. Looking forward to it.

[JoeFu]

Woo a new Splatoon 2 trailer!

Spoiler

Yay more arms info. Guess they are gonna show the remaining characters?

 

[Zedark]

So in 8 hours?

Alright, night Gaf

No, it's 1 day and 8 hours away.

 

[wonderfuldays]

About damn time, ARMS testfire please!

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I have yet determined which character I should main. I hope I can find this out from the Direct

 

[Okami Haundo]

How long until we get a deluge of people thinking we'll see a surprise announcement at this Direct?

- Nintendo announces a direct with a "focus" on one or two games
-- Gaf - "Wow, they're only showing those two games what a piece of shit"

- Nintendo announces a Direct for one specific game
-- Gaf - "Holy shit, bets on a surprise XYZ game announcement?!"

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Here's my predictions.

ZELDA BOTW DLC
METROID
RETROS GAME
NEW PUNCH OUT
F-ZERO



Or gtfo

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Where's his post?

Lol Detective GAF is not a person

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Feels like Pokémon Stars might not be a thing or they would've found space to hype it by now?

A lot of past precedents have been broken by the Switch so far so I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo managed to talk TPCI into letting the announcement be part of their E3 presentation.

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

True Detective GAF, season 1

I stand corrected!!

 

[Penguin]

Imagine we'll get a handful of new characters

And some form of "Testfire" like with Splatoon. If nothing else they had to have seen how well that helped the game

 

[ggx2ac]

I'm expecting an online testfire rather than a demo. If you give people too much time with a demo of a fighting game where they are most likely to only fight AI, they might lose interest quickly.

 

[J@hranimo]

Woo a new Splatoon 2 trailer!

Spoiler

Yay more arms info. Guess they are gonna show the remaining characters?

Yup, I'm thinking the remaining 3 characters and an announcement on how they'll do DLC for future fighters.

 

[random25]

Told ya guys it's gonna be an ARMS direct.

Let's go!
