[Zalman]

Prediction: Palutena reveal

 

[m0t0k1]

Me waking up to this news

 

[Hasney]

It's probably going to be something like pre-order and get a placemat.

Placemat?! Fuck yes. HYYYPPEEE

 

[kuroneko0509]

Do we have a list of confirmed composer involved in this smash by the way?

 

[NeoRausch]

Smash Bros. going F2P. Characters are 5 bucks a pop!

GO!GO!GO!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Do we have a list of confirmed composer involved in this smash by the way?

They're going to announce that David Wise is handling a few of the tracks.

 

[Makai]

Eggplant Wizard or bust.

Okay, okay. I will accept Andy, Jimmy T, and Simon Belmont instead.

 

[Bagu]

Prediction: Palutena reveal

as an assist trophy at the end of a trailer revealing Ridley as a playable character.

 

[Volotaire]

soundtrack will be amazing

The renditions of popular themes, oh god. I hope they go all out again for remixes.

 

[Ipsoclipso]

This is going to sound really bitchy, but I sincerely hope they announce new titles for the games on this Nintendo Direct, for the sake of traditionalism.

Super Smash Bros. Universe
Super Smash Bros. Fray
Super Smash Bros. Scuffle
Super Smash Bros. Rumble
Super Smash Bros. Broil
Super Smash Bros. Slugfest
Super Smash Bros. Intensity
Super Smash Bros. Row
Super Smash Bros. Quarell
Super Smash Bros. Squall


I don't think they will change the title of the game, but we can expect the next Smash Bros to have one of these titles above.

[Always-honest]

Oww, nice.

 

[MrT-Tar]

I hoping for at least two of the following:

Shulk - character announcement
Elza/Zael - character announcement
Wonder Eyes Red - character announcement

Release date/rough time of release
further information online play and netcode
Final name

 

[Daingurse]

They need to show me some new blood. So many possibilities.

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

Holy. Mother. Of. God.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

 

[L~A]

What's the website to get the countdown pic?

 

[Volotaire]

What's the website to get the countdown pic?

Oh I think I can find that for you lemme just get it.

EDIT: http://secondapps.com/countdown/

 

[AdanVC]

The most exciting thing about this is that a newcomer would be revealed. A 3rd Party newcomer perhaps? The return of Snake and the megaton announcement of MGS: V Phantom Pain being a Wii U exclusive? Find out all of this and more this tuesday.

 

[Albo]

Really wish it was a normal direct rather than one focused purely on Smash. Oh well, still gonna be good to watch!

OP says this

Join us on 8/4 at 11pm UK time for a #SmashBros. Direct focusing on the upcoming #WiiU & #3DS games

So it's possible other games might appear. ALBW was announced april last year so hoping for MM 3DS announcement.

 

[Beaniedude]

Prediction: they will announce a Mario kart/ smash Bros crossover game.
People will buy it!

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Of course it would be when I have class.
Just like the last Direct...

 

[Thomper]

Prediction: they will announce a Mario kart/ smash Bros crossover game.
People will buy it!

...why would they do that, when they're just about to release both of those games as seperate titles? Also, what would that cross-over even be?

 

[KHlover]

 

[A Link to the Past]

Predicting:

Pac-Man
Palutena
Yoshi

 

[Zalman]

I don't care about the weekend now. Bring on Tuesday.

Said upcoming Wii U and 3DS games are rather obviously Smash Wii U and Smash 3DS.

 

[L~A]

Thanks!

So is this it?

 

[Zalman]

Thanks!

So is this it?

Yes, that's correct.

 

[powerdrain]

Aw man I'm stupidly excited for this. We'll finally get some new footage, and hopefully a couple of character reveals. Next week can't come quick enough.

 

[NotLiquid]

An announcement of a Smash Direct, a whole four days before it's actually happening

Hold onto your Smash Balls

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Yippy skippy!

King K. Rool and Duck Hunt Dog are ready for next week.

Yep. I'm hoping we somehow get more "X" information again. That last video was amazing.

 

[IntelliHeath]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG


I JUST FUCKING WOKE UP AND SAW THIS FUCKING NEWS! SMASH DIRECT! FUCKING HYPE! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

HOLY SHIT!

 

[Super Stardust]

 

[Zalman]

 

[CassSept]

Oh crap it's at midnight for Europe? Epic.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

HELL... YEA.. Lets go!

 

[RiggyRob]

Finally, I'll be able to book a ticket on the NeoGAF Direct hype train for the first time. Praise Sakurai!

 

[J@hranimo]

lmao! This is a new one.

 

[tonyh24613]

Need Sakurai version.

 

[Taker666]

Interesting.

...it seems rather early for a Smash Bros focused direct (Mario Kart 8 would be understandable).

It's either coming sooner that expected or we're getting a very nice reveal of some sort.

 

[Zalman]

Need Sakurai version.

I don't have a link for that, someone post it pls

 

[Kouriozan]

Can't wait for Palutena's reveal.

 

[Beaniedude]

...why would they do that, when they're just about to release both of those games as seperate titles? Also, what would that cross-over even be?

Because Synergy man and er.... and er... brand recognition. You have to ride that hype train to the bank and back multiple times!
As for how it would play.... that's for the experts to decide!

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

Ι think they are trying to build up on the hype generated by MK8 goodies yesterday.

Needless to say, they need to provide us with a release date.
Is the notion of a summer release date realistic?

 

[Kouriozan]

By the way, it only means one thing...

Big reveals, release date announced, June 2014!!!

Spoiler

Believe!

 

[Coolwhip]

Got it from the new Mario Kart trailer thread. Albo I think his name was.

This GIF is awesome.

Someone needs to make a hypetrain GIF with the train in the new N64 Rainbow Road...

 

[JoeM86]

Prediction: Palutena reveal

Nuts to that. It's all about the Mewtwo

It's possible that we might get reveal date next Tuesday, but I hope that we are getting the preview of adventure mode and etc.
