Surprising, but underwhelming.

Don't care for the character nor the games, but let's see if she's any good.

 

[Kriken]

So this leak was right all along :O

Didn't someone here get blocked by Kamiya for tweeting that at him?

 

[Japanmanx3]

If these were the announcements if the ballot didn't exist then that would be amazing.

But was the ballot really needed to give us Cloud and Bayonetta? I think Sakurai would have known already what kind of reaction these characters would have gotten.

I feel it was used as a cheap way to make money off Mii costumes. I love Sakurai for what he is doing and this game is amazing but I feel the ballot itself was not necessary. He could have easily held a private poll with x amount of people or something

What??

....

What???????

 

[SoulUnison]

These matchups are fun!

Pit VS Meta Knight, Angel VS "Demon"
Final Smash Yoshi VS Charizard, Dragon VS Dragon
Palutena VS Ganondorf, Goddess of Light vs Great King of Evil
Shulk VS ROB, because his enemy in Xenoblade is the Mechonis, I guess - cute.
Samus VS Lucina... Masked Women? Determined Women?
Zelda VS Villager... I'm not sure, but Female Axe Villager is definitely a psychopath.
Peach VS Game 'N Watch, Frying Pans!
Megaman VS Bowser... The Mega Man 2 Wily's Castle Dragon?
Ryu VS Little Mac - Fists of Fury!

*Among realizable characters.

AKA after they removed all the ridiculous or irrelevant characters.

And the characters they had no chance of negotiating rights for.

Spoiler

AKA Snake.

 

[Son Of D]

Did anyone catch the song list? Hoping some of the boss themes are in.

 

[Schryver]

Multiple sexual innuendos in a single Nintendo Direct. Glorious

 

[21XX]

Man, I will never understand the appeal of Bayonetta. Her whole schtick (and most of the Platinum, cough, "cool") just seems embarrassing to me. Cool for the people who dig it though, I guess.

 

[Neol]

Guys.

Today was a good day.

[leatherhat]

Saved the direct, plus I might get my first Amiiboo. Still need K. Rool though for the perfect roster.

Play the games.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Awful.


Not as awful as a choice as Cloud, but still awful.
So disappointing.

Whaaa

 

[openrob]

Shiiiiit I was busy watching great TV to see the Smash Direct!

 

[Orniletter]

Man, I will never understand the appeal of Bayonetta. Her whole schtick (and most of the Platinum, cough, "cool") just seems embarrassing to me. Cool for the people who dig it though, I guess.

Play the games.

You'll see the light.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Awesome. I've got to say, didn't expect her. She is a welcome addition, though.

 

[Frodo]

I'll sleep now and hope to only wake up in February.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I'm dead... when is she available?

February

I gotta be honest, strangely enough seeing THAT in the music list is probably what gave me the biggest grin throughout the whole presentation.

 

[Tygamr]

Hmmm. That's cool I guess? Never really got into Bayonetta when I've tried it. Just always seemed weird and tacky, which made me not care for it much I guess. Also kind of seemed untasteful?

 

[Zomba13]

where can i watch this?

holy shit is her witch time activated by spot dodge

please...
that would be so broken

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Yet we can't get Simon Belmont. This is a crime.

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Bayonetta? Unexpected! Great! Gorgeous! Climax!

 

[Glendemonium]

Marvelous! She's a welcome addition to the roster.

Guess no Snake. Not surprising really.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

didn't got that either,realized it was bayo only when i saw the moon...

Same here.

I always loved Alex Ahad's art and this piece is no exception.

 

[Golnei]

Not a fan. is father Balder's ost in? aka GOAT ost?

Legend of Aesir is, at least. Balder didn't get a trophy...

I gotta be honest, strangely enough seeing THAT in the music list is probably what gave me the biggest grin throughout the whole presentation.

It was such a perfect song for Smash, too. I was half-hoping they would have found a way to include it in the base game as a general Sega thing even without Bayonetta, but this was ideal.

 

[PensivePen]

Yet we can't get Simon Belmont. This is a crime.

Given the lack of Snake it doesn't seem like Konami wants to play ball anymore.

 

[Flying Toaster]

sakurai'd

Mad respect for posting that. But seriously the original post logically made sense.

 

[Majukun]

So this leak was right all along :O

actually there was a better leak that looked surprisingly simliar to the model we saw in the video..although it looked not definitive in the least..animation wise too

 

[TheStig88]

I'm so goddamned happy right now. I never thought for a second she'd actually make it in, no matter how much I wanted to believe.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Kind of had a feeling this. I mean its a no brainer not to, specially with both of her games on Wii U.

Cool.

 

[Son Of D]

Yet we can't get Simon Belmont. This is a crime.

Blame Konami.

 

[bobbychalkers]

where can i watch this?

[Boss Doggie]

Given how the Star Fox idiots and Smash idiots made out like bandits, I'm praying that we Viewtiful Joe 3 idiots are next.

Your enemy is capcom

 

[BY2K]

Bayonetta 3 NX.

Book it.

 

[ArtHands]

Woooooo looks like smash is my next Wii U game!!

Eiji Funahashi (PlatinumGames)

And now I need this in an iPhone 6S+ res it's gorgeous.

 

[lord_of_flood]

Josh Thomas is hella salty.

That dude is pretty much just a pillar of salt. It's been a really long time since I've seen him be not salty about anything Nintendo-related. Kinda just ended up getting used to it.
