oh and the decision to have whats basically 7 different recolours in the roster for MK8 is questionable.

but then again they did give us honey queen last time.

Pretty much.

"I want to play as the koopalings in mario kart!" Said no one ever. When he said, they arent who you expect, I got my hopes up for a moment that they were finally going to add other Nintendo franchises to MK. :(

[Kirov]

I think the Koopalings make sense for Mario Kart. They have a lot more character than most of the racers. Would be cool if they added some like Paper Mario characters or something too.

Bayonetta is looking good but the X trailer I can't say did it for me this time I thought all the other trailers were great but time will tell I guess.

I see in the Japanese broadcast the Ace Attorney creator said he is working on a new game in the series that will be won’t be like the previous titles. So that has me interested.

Not convinced this is a good thing. Dual Destinies (Takumi not involved at all) was a much better game than Apollo Justice (Takumi was the writer). I'm also told AAI2 was top tier, and takumi had nothing to do with that one either.

He's a good writer, but AA isn't where he belongs anymore.

Smash bros direct april 8th 6pm Est/11:00pm for UK.

[Takebacker]

Hoping for either new character or some release info.

[Justin]

Really hoping for a release date ;_; HYPE GET

[Lozmaster]

My honest opinion is that it's a smash bros only direct this month because Nintendo has nothing else to show beyond whatever new character(s)/modes sakurai is going to show, as they need to save whatever meager announcements they've got for wii u for e3 in 2 months.

I can't imagine, even in a best case scenario that the game launches before october.

[Frostilyte]

Hoping for multiple character reveals since the main focus of the direct will be smash.

Might also highlight some indie games as well. Not sure.

It's a smash bros only direct. It's extremely unlikely any other games show up.

Oh. I didn't realize from what I read that it was smash only. I thought it was a smash focused direct, rather than a direct entirely devoted to smash.
Thanks for the clarification! Even more excited for it.

[Remoir]

meh smash isn't that big of a deal to me to stay up all night waiting for a direct ill catch up in the morning.

[Lozmaster]

T-5 Minutes to direct launch

[Dark Link]

Hooray for some kind of release date.

[Lozmaster]

Teh 3ds version is launching first (this summer)...
what the hell?

[Dark Link]

That Megaman Final Smash!

Also Sheik and ZSS being their own separate characters was somewhat expected. I'm ok with that.

[Razmos]

Yoshi, Zero Suit Samus, Sheik, Charizard and /* Greninja */ ! a fairly impressive haul i'd say.

Also, I completely pineappleing lost it when Sakurai disappeared and left a substitute in his chair, that man is hilarious.

[Lozmaster]

That...was not the newcomer I was expecting to see the direct end on.
@Razmos maybe spoiler the newcomer just in case people look at this thread before seeing it.

[Remoir]

i lied i stayed up.

kawaii desu villager chan final smash.

[Dark Link]

They're going to have to start revealing fighters on a more faster pace now since the 3DS version is confirmed for the Summer, because once that's out, EVERYTHING will be revealed.
