Cube Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Focusing on Smash Bros. and some upcoming Wii U and 3DS games.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Seems a bit strange to focus on this over Mario Kart.
-Dem0- Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Awesome stuff! Edited April 4, 2014 by -Dem0- correction.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Could do with one of those Antonio Banderas gifs @Fierce_LiNk A release date will be orgasmic.
Ike Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Nooo, why didn't they announce it on Monday. Going to be hyped all weekend. Release date has got to be announced right if they are focusing on Smash. Right?
Hero-of-Time Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Let's hope they have sorted their streaming out. The last direct was an absolute mess, with many of us having to switch to the US broadcast just to see what was going on.
-Dem0- Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Oh yeah that was terrible. This stream needs to be perfect! We're talking about Smash Bros. here!!!
Agent Gibbs Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 just smash brothers? well they'll announce Solid Snake as a character with Raiden as an assist trophy then (with some sort of codec cut scene) going on rumors of a voice actor (not the one in the playstation all rip off stars) slipping he voiced Raiden on Super smash bros
Cube Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 going on rumors of a voice actor (not the one in the playstation all rip off stars) slipping he voiced Raiden on Super smash bros He's mainly a motion capture actor. Also, unless MGSR:R and MGSV both come to Wii U, Snake in Smash Bros. again would be horrible.
Wii Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 That's why there's no pic of the day. Awesome stuff! There is a Pic Of The Day. It's just not a very good one. It's one of those stumpy Animal Crossing characters that look like Seamus out of Family Guy. This announcement, however, more than makes up for it. Can't wait. Let's hope they have sorted their streaming out. The last direct was an absolute mess, with many of us having to switch to the US broadcast just to see what was going on. Ya that was completely unwatchable. It was unusual, never happened before. just smash brothers? well they'll announce Solid Snake as a character with Raiden as an assist trophy then (with some sort of codec cut scene) going on rumors of a voice actor (not the one in the playstation all rip off stars) slipping he voiced Raiden on Super smash bros Maybe they meant Raiden from Mortal Kombat. Seriously though if any Metal Gear reference at all is in this game I'll be pissed off.

HYPE TIME, ninjah! What if they announce a Wii U MGS game linked with a MGS character in Smash??? (Perfect using codec stuff on the gamepad) Edited April 4, 2014 by King_V
-Dem0- Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Share the hype. https://twitter.com/quassihollic/status/443417263287177216/photo/1
Wii Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 HYPE TIME, ninjah! What if they announce a Wii U MGS game linked with a MGS character in Smash??? Then Hell will have frozen over.
dazzybee Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 This is so weird... On smash, which is many months away? OR IS IT!???? Seriously though, surely this mario kart explosion would have made more sense? Though. It complaining to both, just don't understand why they're giving us a direct so early when we still don't know much about mario kart and that's less than 2 months away. Still, not complaining, would love a release date! Earlier the better!
Shorty Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I'm not sure there's so much to say about Mario Kart. It is what it is. You can reveal characters and courses etc but racers don't play completely differently the way Smash characters do. Ultimately the Mario Kart experience is going to feel the same either way, and any differences or new features they may (but probably won't) add, will not have much to expand upon in video form anyway.
Serebii Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Time to announce them shifting it to the Vita then :p Seriously though, I am intrigued. Nintendo seem to be going full hog. Expecting mechanics, two characters and a July release date

We still no nothing about how the online works and very little about Mario Kart TV.

They have a lot to talk about Mario Kart. We know nothing about the singleplayer or online modes. There's also battle mode to talk about (if they're having it). As someone who rarely plays locally, I need to know that kind of stuff.
Shorty Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I'm not saying we know everything, I'm saying the things they have to reveal aren't going to make for a complete Nintendo Direct feature the way Smash Bros can.
Clownferret Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 not sure if this has been posted and in fact I'm not sure if the Wii version was the same, but it's 12 player online.
Retro_Link Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Does this mean a Release Date might finally be joining the fight??!!
