According to SmashBros.com, there will be a Nintendo Direct focusing on the upcoming Smash Bros. on April 8 at 3:00 p.m. PT (6:00 p.m. ET). Let the speculation begin as to what will be announced!
We are definitely gonna get a few character reveals, I'm excited! I doubt we will get an official title for the games, though. Secretly hoping for some information about Wii U - 3DS connectivity.
I love that Nintendo's keeping themselves busy like this, with Donkey Kong, the GBA Virtual Console, the Mario Kart 8 info and Smash Bros. I hope they'll manage to keep this pace up for the rest of the year.
Also: Doshin reveal for Smash!
Not the evil red Jashin, but the peaceful, yellow love giant! That'd be something!
Captain Falcon skin for every character in the game. Current voice "acting" for characters is applied to all Captain Falcon sayings. All stages have been reworked to be Big Blue from F-Zero, music is changed to Big Blue being played by the instruments in the original composition (Ocarina performs Big Blue in Zelda themed Big Blue).
Big Blue is officially changed to safe word for Captain Falcon bondage.
Iwata dresses up like Captain Falcon and is revealed as final smash for Captain Falcon. As the game is of Nintendo property, the entire screen sinks into a red pit with him saying he will not step down.
Samus is retconned to be Captain Falcon after final smash has taken away his memories.
Oh man, waking up to this news was the best. I can't imagine anything Nintendo could announce that'd hype me more, actually (within reason, anyway). ALL ABOOOOARD
Awesome. Ballsy to do this AFTER the Mario Kart blowout.
How do they top that?
Nintendo desperately needs Wii U enthusiasm to start building. MK8 looks pretty amazing. If the new Smash Bros. is equally amazing, then they might have something.
And then at E3, show off Zelda Wii U. A trailer. Something.
