No her weapon is her hair

Samson confirmed
 
Aw yeah, we got ourselves a good old fashioned Nintendo Direct coming tomorrow.

Probably won't have much to do with Smash outside of maybe the Duck Hunt trailer, but still worth mentioning nonetheless.

Damnit Nintendo, what have I told you about holding these on days when I have to work?

Mario Kart 8 will be compatible with a lot of Amiibos

The webpage for it leaked early - text only. Smash Kart is becoming realer though

I really don't think turning Mario Kart into Smash Kart is a good idea. It sounds like a good way to destroy a franchise's brand name.

Just follow someone who'd liveblog it on Twitter and read it under your desk. That's what I did during class.

All Nintendo games feature bits and pieces of each other as is. Maybe in like, Mario and Luigi RPG games I can understand not wanting to bring in all the crossovers, but for Mario Kart, why not? More track and character variety.

Like instead of Baby Metal Pink Gold Dry Magi-Parakoopa we could get Samus.

As long as its only regulated to DLC, I'm fine with it since its optional and the people who don't like it, don't have to bother with it if they don't want to. I'm more worried it'll carry over to the games' official starting on-disk roster which doesn't sit well with me.

Also it'll keep pretentious, retro blind, slime buckets like this guy quiet:

Honestly I think this guy and his ilk are going to do more damage to the industry than they think.
 
Why even read game opinions from someone with a WordPress

That's like getting your newspaper from bathroom stall scribbles

I actually stopped recently because of his self-righteous bullcrap but I'm starting to see this guy's mentality spread like a virus amongst the community. Call me crazy but I think he's trying to indoctrinate the gaming community to side with him.
 
I have literally never seen these opinions before. I've never heard of this guy before.

I mean, anti-Nintendo people will always be anti-Nintendo, but that's becoming less and less nowadays it feels like - I mean, everyone loves Smash. The people who don't you'll never convince. Just ignore them.
 
>Complains and comments on sales.

Sales do not equal quality. Just look at fuckin' spunkgargleweewee like Call of Duty.

That's what I've said and yet this guy and others like him have always found some over convoluted bullshit to justify why they're right. Seriously, I've argued with this guy in the past and he always has to find some self-righteous bullshit to justify himself no matter how could a counterargument I've presented to him. This is proof that gamers are getting dumber, more pretentious and selfish.
 
That isn't to say that sales are irrelevant. They matter to a degree.

But saying sales are everything is a shining example of why this generation of gamers can be pitiful.

The two latest Rayman games are critical darlings, and considered masterpieces. I consider Origins to be my favorite 2D platformer of all time, yet it didn't sell that terribly well.

Bayonetta 2 soled like shit in Japan didn't it? Yet it's getting perfect score after perfect score.

And perhaps the greatest example of all: Earthbound. It suffers the same case, yet its cult following is staggering, and is a well-respected RPG among the community.
 
I played NiGHTS at a kiosk somewhere and barely remember it. I DO sorta remember the short lived Archie comics.
 
Does playing as NiGHTS in Sonic Racing Transformed count? Because the stats are very favorable on certain tracks.
 
I watched a playthrough of NiGHTs back when I was a youngin' and doing questionable things with my free time.
 
Box did the sweaty palm tango to NiGHTS and I applaud his courage for admitting it.
 
So here's what you guys should realistically expect from the direct:
-Duck Hunt Trailer (possibly featuring a new Duck Hunt stage)
-MK 8 DLC Pack 1 details
-Hyrule Warriors DLC details
-Captain Toad
-ORAS
-Yoshi's Wooly World
-Mario Maker
-One new game announcement, probably for the 3DS (it would be a good time to announce Majora's Mask 3D...just saying)

Maybes:
-Smash Wii U demo on the eshop, NOW
-MK 8 DLC Pack 3
-Xenoblade X
-One of Miyamoto's Projects revealed as a full game
-Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
-HD remake
-Random eshop game released right after the direct
-Splatoon

What you won't get:
-Zelda
-Starfox
-Anything Smash related that's not above

-Lucas, Wolf, Ice Climbers, Chorus Kids will all be in Smash as DLC
-MK 8 will feature literally the entire smash roster. For $1/character
-Metroid Wii U, developed by Retro, but to lessen the wait, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD announced
-Zelda Wii U trailer shown
-Starfox Wii U trailer shown, developed by Platinum, directed by Kamiya
-Also, Nintendo has fully bought out Platinum now, so Scalebound is cancelled, and they're using that dev staff to make Wonderful 102 (minus Kamiya)
-Metroid 3DS
-Majora's Mask 3D
-F-Zero Wii U announced, but to lessen the painful wait, F-Zero GX HD announced
-Mario 3D Collection HD, featuring 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1 and 2
-Mother Trilogy 3D
-Pokemon MMO for Wii U
-All announced titles will release in 2015
 
-Lucas, Wolf, Ice Climbers, Chorus Kids will all be in Smash as DLC
I wanna believe

What we'll actually get:

-Smash Wii U menus
-MK8 menus
-Captain Toad menus
-ORAS menus
-TIME FOR A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. Menu Maker. 2015 for Wii U.
 
I legit would play Menu Maker, like holy shit

Anyway, if no DH Duo trailer, I just hope for more info on Xenoblade X and Giant Robot and Project Guard becoming full games. I dig Giant Robot.

Make ROB an unlockable character in Project Giant Robot
 
Plus guys
If Giant Robot becomes a real game
it would almost guarantee a Smash Bros stage

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT A SMASH BROS STAGE WHERE THE PLAYERS ARE GIANTS FIGHTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY
YOU DO NOT
YOU CAN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I WANT IT

<...Fourside doesn't count, it's kinda an accident how everyone would suddenly be huge in the EarthBound world>
 
Considering it's an international simul-direct, there has to be one new game or some big new info.

Honestly, no matter what, I'll be happy with the results.
 
Box did the sweaty palm tango to NiGHTS and I applaud his courage for admitting it.

What, no I still do that.
What I'm talking about is actually downright embarrassing.
 
Have they said what time the direct is?

2pm PT.

So 3pm my (mountain) time.

So whatever your time

What, no I still do that.

I screencapped this and am going to send it to the NiGHTSintodreams.com website owner whom I am friends with
 
i'm just gonna assume that Box wrote poorly written fetish porn fics involving Nights and other Sega characters
probably knuckles

Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to announce the death of TheMightyBox's reputation with random internet personalities that they have very likely never heard of.
Truly it is a sad day.
RIP in peace.
