[Outtrigger888]

Nintendo going for that one-two punch.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Smash Bros. Direct in April, MK8 in May...

What will E3 bring? Must not get too hyped...

Celda.

 

[Benzychenz]

HOLY SHIT

There is no way this is their November game like I expected then.

 

[Mistouze]

Let's get this started.

Wonder Red and Bayonetta announcement. BELIEVE.

 

[Boss Doggie]

But 8th is so far away

 

[Aostia]

Kinda wanted a normal one...well ok i guess

me too.
but on the bright side, this could mean that the release date is not that far away.

 

[ramoisdead]

Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. Wii U Ninty Direct?

Luigi may be done but it's looking to be the year of the Wii U.

 

[FlynnCL]

Yep. D1 sums it up for me.

 

[KingSnake]

Nintendo going for that one-two punch.

Rightly so. Smooth the chin with MK8 and the KO with Smash!

 

[Scanna]

The wording is weird though. Are they using plural "games" referring to the two different versions of smash or do we have chances of them, even for a few minutes, to talk about something else? Like dates or localizations for other titles?

 

[kuroneko0509]

Will GAF 404 before the direct? lol

 

[blamite]

Nintendo of America PR:

Nice. Not the best time for me, but as long as it's under 45 minutes I'll get to see the whole thing live before I have to go to class.

 

[Neifirst]

Celda.

I would accept that. But even better would be a 2014 release date for X.

 

[NotDreamcast]

I guess just this once I'll board the hype train.

 

[Jaeger]

!

 

[DarkLinkage]

Selling my WiiU they don't announce Reggie as a playable character.

 

[Hasney]

Goddamn. That was going to be early night after staying up for Wrestlemania and the Raw after Wrestlemania... Well, that's fucked then.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Will GAF 404 before the direct? lol

Had they announced this Direct during peak GAF hours, we might've 404'd from this news alone.

 

[Whiskeymatt]

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE TRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNN

 

[Insane Dead]

Awesome! So looking forward to this game. Can't wait.

 

[Bill Rizer]

RIDLEY TIME!

Probably Sakurai requested Iwata a special direct via their presidential red line because he realized next week programmed update was too big to be contained in Smash site.

 

[Daingurse]

Welp, I'll watch that.

 

[Boss Doggie]

HYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPE

Where's flying Wii Fit Trainer?!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Nintendo of America PR:

Thank you lord jesus in heaven

 

[Booty Patrol]

bye i cant wait until tuesdayyyyyy

why did they announce this now

 

[CassSept]

What the WHAT

 

[SuperSah]

As long as we get some 3DS stuff too, I'm happy.

Also, could a date be closer than we think? A Smash Direct is way too early if it's launching late..

 

[Xane]

 

[MrSaturn99]

AWWWW YIIIIIIS

This can't mean a release date....can it?

 

[solomon]

PLZ talk mechanics, honestly at this point I know were gunna have awesome characters but please for the love of God talk how the dodge system works, (And announce Andy from advance wars, and my day would be Golden)

 

[Spiffy_1st]

They needed a whole direct to fit the Ridley announcement in.

 

[daripad]

Probably Sakurai requested Iwata a special direct via their presidential red line because he realized next week programmed update was too big to be contained in Smash site.

lol. Seriously, this is going to be a veteran blowout with a newcomer, ala Brawl reveal or something. Otherwise I don't know why the sudden direct exclusive for these games.

 

[CriterionDog]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD

 

[Werewolf Jones]

My hype is so next level my descendants can feel it. I expect a release date at the very least.

 

[Boss Doggie]

That means 6am in april 9th for me :I

 

[blamite]

Japanese site is up too.

Also a new Japanese Smash Twitter

 

[Tehalemi]

OOOOOOOOOOOO

Spoiler

SHEEEEEEEIIIIIIIITTTTTTT

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Iwata can have my other babies
