The game comes out for Wii U tomorrow and 3DS in the fall. *falls back asleep*

It'll be available to stream immediately after (as I'm sure you know). I'm psyched because my class ends at 4pm central which gives me just enough time to grab food and head back to the hotel to watch this at 5pm.

Debating whether I should stay at the office after 5pm to watch this live, or just drive home and catch the stream later...

Thinking home is the best option.

Probably won't be able to catch this, at least not the video, which is the best part. Bah.

My class starts at the exact same time as this and I'm not going to skip on the responsibilities. Unfortunately, I won't watch this Direct live.

Earthbound's "Camera Guy" for an Assist Trophy, yelling "Fuzzy Pickles" and all that, also really taking a special picture of the match in a hilarious hazardous way. It would be absolutely amazing.

You guys might want to favorite or leave this URL open: here. That way, you can just get home and watch it spoiler-free.

Nintendo said you can see the video on the eShop that evening. That's what I'm going to have to do as well.

Thanks!

@ludist210
This is how I usually watch it. Not sure when exactly they put it up, but in the past the morning directs have been on the eShop by the time I get home.

3:00 just happens to be my third break. I will sit happily at my desk and watch. I am not a big Smash Bros. fan, but I still feel the hype.

Time to bring down the hype hammer!

Don't expect release date. Release window, sure.

My prediction: early December for Wii U version, spring for 3DS version.

That means they'll be telling us it won't be coming out this year.

Christmas 2015 at the earliest.

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up for this year. Which... if true, makes for a boring holiday season on Wii U unless we get some surprises.

@WrathOfSamus777

At the earliest you don't expect it for another 20 months? I find that hard to believe.

Taking my lunch break at 3, fuck that. It's not too much longer than I usually break anyway...

Whoa, what? Launch window for the game confirmed?? I'll be very surprised if its not sooner rather than later, or at the latest, near the end of the year. 2015 would be crazy.

I really hope they give us something more than character or stage reveals. I hope they talk about the online capabilities and maybe how 3DS and WiiU communicate. A release during this holiday season would be a good goal. I mean, they can't really wait too much longer...

i have much hype. too much, even.

I was definitely expecting a date, but that hope's been squashed. Still, a half-hour Direct dedicated to one game sounds promising. Crazy/random prediction: Ryu Hayabusa joins the battle

I haven't been keeping up with all the latest Smash Bros. news really, but aren't they're making two different games that are supposed to work together? They've never done anything like this before that I can think of. No one really has.

And my surprise roster prediction:
