Crash or Ryu are the only acceptable choices!

Fifty minutes eh? Should be some interesting surprises in store for tomorrow, though I'll try not to set my expectations too high.

 

Also just remembered that I have a meeting at that time tomorrow, guess I won't be able to watch this one live.

Well that’s a nice surprise- 50 minutes to boot

 

It’s nice to finally see a new Nintendo Direct for the first time in awhile 

 

Might have to wait until it’s finished and uploaded, though... watching livestreams using my phone’s Personal Hotspot doesn’t usually work too well from past experience 

 

Maybe I’ll be able to figure something out

Good thing I had my bag on me. .... I was thinking of downloading it on my laptop for some time. Never got to it.

Okay, so we know there is going to be Smash information based on what was written in the social media posts. We also know that Zelda's 35th Anniversary is 2/21 and Pokemon's 25th Anniversary is 2/27, so I have a good feeling we will likely hear about one of them, if not both of them, in the Direct tomorrow.

 

While I know Smash didn't do much for Mario's 35th last year, would it be too far out of left field to suggest a 35th Anniversary Zelda rep as DLC in Smash? The Mario series technically did have an additional rep added earlier via Piranha Plant, and we could definitely do with another Zelda rep since they haven't had a "new" rep since Toon Link back in Brawl. The only question then would be who or what would their Anniversary rep be?

*If they went the Mario route...  I do think Paper Mario would be interesting

 

*If they went the LoZ route ...  I am a big fan of doing Pig Ganon from LoZ/ALttP...  has staff/trident, can shoot fireballs/bats, can teleport ...stage could be some throne room action out of LoZ or ALttP.

Glad no one posted this here yet....

Even tho we haven't had one like 532 days (may be off by a day or 2, almost year and half)

 

I cannot like with most direct versions have too much expectations, it is better especially when we have had ND proper this long.

 

Will just look forward that we're having one.

 

Going forward with proper directs I will be calling them ND, something new for 2021 for me.

Yeah, I agree with Paper Mario.

 

If they do add another LoZ rep to SSBU for LoZ's 35th, I could totally see it being Tetra or possibly Toon Zelda. Though now that I think of it, Zelda's ALBW model they use in SSBU is very similar to Toon Zelda, plus it she already has an attack from Spirit Tracks with the Phantom Slash. So, Tetra would be the safe bet, IMO.

I just realize what will be probably the most boring part of the direct tomorrow is the reminder of the NES and SNES game for NSO coming out tomorrow.

I'm hoping that they announce a new system like GB/GBC or N64. Though, I'd really like to see another freebie game announced, like with Tetris 99 and Super Mario 35.

This is why I don't have expectations for ND, this is nice but I'm not wishing it there tomorrow, if the above happens then cool.

 

No expectations.
