Huh, so we're missing out on one character from the original Dissidia prior to launch? That's really weird. Still also missing: Gilgamesh Tifa (really surprised she's not in at launch tbh) Laguna Yuna Prishe That's a total of 6 missing existing characters, unless I'm miscounting here.

I believe it came from a trailer or perhaps a website. And it was "assumed" to be a Seaside Kingdom, not confirmed to actually be Seaside Kingdom. Before we knew the name Seaside Kingdom I think it was called "Underwater Kingdom". It might've been at E3 or another event where they played some Mario Odyssey music between segments.

Dat final boss... I knew he was in the game because music leaks, but I did NOT expect him to be the final boss. Holy f***ing shit. So many people are going to be happy about this. I'm not surprised they added him to a remake. I was personally thinking it was likely he'd be a new boss or an optional boss. But the FINAL boss? Totally picking up this game as soon as I can. Just need to get paid... I need to pester my boss/client tomorrow (freelance, I don't get paid at a set time, just roughly "every two weeks.")

So I just checked it. I don't get why people keep saying this. It was only announced in 2013 and only got delayed once (from 2014 to 2015, in 2014 they also confirmed it was called Xenoblade Chronicles X, instead of just X). Most likely, but they didn't want to wait until November or December for this. They wanted it out sooner rather than later. By the time we got another Direct it'd be too late. They could've put it in its own Direct, but maybe they're trying to promote it more highly to get better sales.

I expected December, but the 1st is a lot sooner than I was thinking. I was thinking like, the 10th-15th or so. Second week.

We're going to get more news about next year later. Probably at the end of the year or in January. Wouldn't even be surprised if Smash is next year. But yeah, I didn't think it'd get announced this early. (I did think we'd get SOMETHING else for next year, so it surprised me a bit that it didn't happen.) Currently we mainly know of three first-party Switch games for next year--Kirby, Yoshi, and Fire Emblem. I think we'll also see a DK, Animal Crossing, and Pikmin next year. We'll be lucky if MP4 and Pokemon release next year.

I'm aware of Cecilia in FE6, but she's insanely obscure there's no way she'd ever be added to this kinda of list. I was thinking maybe she was a major character from something like Animal Crossing (there is a Cecilia, but she's not that major far as I can tell). Them meaning Celica makes a lot more sense, though. I wouldn't mind Celica, tbh, but at that rate, they might as well just add Lyn, a far more popular character who would have a unique moveset (Robin is already Celica pretty much) and they could throw in bows on top of it. And who is already in Smash anyway.

I never said it'd be impossible to add in Wolf and Ice Climbers. I simply said the odds are insanely unlikely its just Smash 4 + two new characters. That's a first year thing only at best. At this point, they'd just go for a new iteration and aim for it to be an early release on Switch instead of a mid-cycle release like it usually is. Sakurai stated a while back that he considered Smash 3DS to be Smash 4, and Smash Wii U to be Smash 5. Also, before Smash for 3DS/Wii U released, Namco Bandai was hiring for "Smash 6." http://nintendoeverything.com/bandai-namco-hiring-for-smash-bros-6-which-launches-next-year/ Allegedly it stated it was for release the following year, which obviously didn't happen (but there was DLC). Wouldn't surprise me, though, if the DLC was intended to be the initial start of Smash Switch's development. Either way, though, whether this was just referring to the DLC or not, its irrelevant. If we were getting a plain Smash 4 port with a couple new characters, that'd have been announced already and planned for release for the holiday season.

Yeah, no. Its too late for that now. That would've happened a long time ago. At this point its far more likely to be a Splatoon 2 situation. Basically the same game engine but treated as a brand new game. And probably isn't getting announced yet because of that. This could mean something, but I still doubt it does.

That is way, way too many characters. Who the hell is Cecilia, anyway? I mean, I've seen characters named Cecilia, but I don't know of any specific stand out characters with that name.

The only thing I can think of is they could tie it into My Nintendo, and add a bunch of Switch rewards, such as themes. Nintendo Switch is listed on My Nintendo as "Coming Soon."

They're probably working on a lot of things people want, its just taking a while for varying reasons and wasn't ready for launch. If we get achievements, its likely going to be linked to My Nintendo.

Maybe not next week, but its probably going to happen before FEW releases. They've had a general Direct and a game-specific Direct in close proximity to one another before. Anyway, I am expecting at least one major game announcement. Probably for 2018. Otherwise, most of its just release dates for this year. Definitely a date for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and full details on Zelda DLC Pack 2.

I can see it. I could also see it being a Fire Emblem Warriors Direct. Honestly its been a while so a Nintendo Direct could happen at any time and it wouldn't be surprising.

Yeah, now knowing that Peach has one, he probably does as well. Here's hoping. I want them to show a lot of background area as well. I doubt it'll be huge--probably just the area around Peach's Castle. but show hints of more on the outskirts.
