[Atheerios]

Not really feeling the hype for the event itself but let's hope for an announcement.

[BY2K]

Uhm I'm sorry but what is this version of Fountain of Dreams currently playing!?

 

[JStein0222]

Not really feeling the hype for the event itself but let's hope for an announcement.

This is the impression I get from most people about this event, which is fine, but hoping it delivers something.

 

[mrmickfran]

Can't wait for the stream to be spammed with "WHENSMASH"

 

[TheLegendaryN]

Hype up for that Blast Ball 2 announcement!

 

[Gradivus]

Was there anything announced at the previous events?

 

[Dark Ninja]

All this Smash Bothers music playing before the event...

Spoiler

 

[?oe?oe]

Will Reggie return and not know how to jump?!

 

[Neoxon]

It’s almost time!

 

[alf717]

They are playing some lovely Kirby music. ^_^

 

[saks for ost]

Soooo what games are they competing in? MK8, Arms and Splatoon?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nobody really cares. Nintendo didn't hype it up lol

 

[SalvaPot]

Was there anything announced at the previous events?

Mario Bros. 3 and Earthbound Beginnings. And I guess Blast Ball.

 

[Neoxon]

Soooo what games are they competing in? MK8, ARMS and Splatoon?

All safe assumptions

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I really wonder what the final game could be?

Mario Maker was perfect for two players and a great representation of Nintendo.

I would guess Odyssey levels.

Hope to see John Numbers repeat just for it being interesting.

Also it would be very funny if Butterfield or Bayley stay in a while. The former plays DOTA and tournament Smash so maybe.

I think we're still see Smash Wii U but not towards the end, more in the middle. Probably 8-player Smash.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

This music's great, tho

 

[Cbajd5]

COME ON REGGIE GIVE US MOTHER 3

Soooo what games are they competing in? MK8, Arms and Splatoon?

Samus Returns is the only confirmed game as far as I know, but those are all safe assumptions.

 

[Mory Dunz]

nothing is getting announced imo. At the verry most an ARMS character I guess.

 

[shaneo632]

Will I need to watch any cringey esports or will it just be people talking?

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Music is top tier already LOL

classic Nintendo

 

[KaneU]

So how many hours left?

this is why you claim event threads/OTs beforehand and communicate.

That’s basically what I’m expecting, & I’d be more than okay with a new ARMS character reveal.

 

[BY2K]

I need to know what version of Fountain of Dreams they were playing because it was fucking fantastic.

minutes.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I'd think it'd lead to an announcement, but we already have two upcoming Kirby games, so...

Regardless, all this emphasis on orchestrated music is certainly interesting.

 

[BurritoBushido]

Hyyyype! This music is really great and I don't recognize it!

 

[Dark Cloud]

This is nice music.

Gourmet Race to Green Greens. It was on the Kirby Dream Collection CD.

 

[Regiruler]

Let's have some culdcept so the event lasts for 5 hours.

 

[SalvaPot]

I'm hyped for some eSports shenanigans. Can John Numbers keep the crown?

 

[The Last One]

Didn't know this was today. Good stuff!

 

[jaypah]

I've got time to blow while I wait to see what this hurricane is going to do so, why not? Good excuse to have a few beers too.

You just posting this on every thread

Anyway, smash hype.

 

[oti]

I don't like Wind Waker. But I adore the soundtrack.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I love me good Wind Waker music.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I'm here just on the off chance there is some cool announcement.

 

[Renna Hazel]

This Wind Waker music will probably be the highlight of this event.

 

[Sterok]

If Nintendo doesn't announce Super Smash Golf I'm burning my Switch.

 

[Shadow Broker]

Just found out about this being on Disney XD so my wife can't say I only watch YouTube XD

 

[Haruko]

I'm hoping for more JOHN NUMBERS wizardry

 

[Marche90]

Well, hype surrounding the event is a little low, but I hope that when it goes live it fares better.

Anyway, T-1 minute.
