Best part about it being ~40 minutes is that they can spend an entire 10 minutes on Spirits mode and they'd still have 30 minutes for everything else, longer than the entirety of the August Smash Direct.

Strangely enough I feel more hyped for the treehouse...

This is the first time i COMPLETELY Don't want to watch Nintendo Direct + Treehouse Event AT ALL.
Wake me up for Non Smash Bros games and Completely Free from that any rated 18+ games !

Good news to wake up to. While I was off on my Xenoblade 2 sales predictions by 200k, new Smash Direct and I undershot my Switch sales predictions.

Still though, this is cool.

@DarthNocturnal
The next Direct will talking about Smash Bros (I have no interest whatsoever) by 90%, Pokemon Let's Go (I have interest with that game, but i'm afraid of too much spoilers, so i can wait until the game released) and one rated 18+ game (I will turn off the video completely).

@Anti-Matter
I keep hearing Let's Go, gameay wise is like a Pokemon Go/Pokemon hybrid, I don't know how true that is, but with my hatred for Go, the idea turns me off bigtime, so I'm probaby going to wait a couple months, no doubt my oldest daughter will get it and I'll just borrow it for a week or so to see

@Anti-Matter What spoilers? It's basically a remake of Yellow so if you played that then you know what's going on. Everything new or changed has been shown off already

The anti-18 stance is quite strange as well.

If I were to guess, he probably doesn't like the fact the game includes characters from mature games.

@Yosheel Only if they have a shirt on as well.

@Anti-Matter You do know Yoshi's Crafted World will be featured in Treehouse as well, right?

40 minutes? How involved can this 'Spirits' mode be??

it will be 30 minutes of new facial expressions

We need to know more about marios cheeks and Wii fits cellulite on legs and arms

My guess would be:

• 10 minutes (revealing the rest of characters and stages)
• 10 minutes (single player content)
• 10 minutes (online content + demo)
• 5 minutes (physical extras like the GC bundle Europe's getting and amiibo)
• 5 minutes (ingame extras like trophies, music CDs, challenge wall)

@Grumblevolcano Sounds plausible.

@Grumblevolcano I strongly doubt online stuff will take a full 10 minutes.

I'd say Spirits mode and the online stuff will take about 5-6 minutes each. That's about 10-12 minutes total, leaving 28-30 minutes - longer than the entirety of the August Smash Direct - for everything else. The rest of the Direct can be spent bringing up other modes (All Star, Event Mode, Special Smash, etc) and revealing the rest of the characters.

Leaves ample time to reveal 7 fighters

I'd expect it to break down closer to this:

• 12 minutes - New characters
• 8 minutes - Online content
• 5 minutes - Vault - Trophies, Trophy getting mode, Challenges, Replays, Records Stickers(?), etc.
• 8 minutes - Spirits
• 8 minutes - Stadium + Events + All-Star + other Single Player modes(?)
• 2 minutes - More ATs + Pokemon + Items

Yes I'm adding up to 42, I think we'll run over slightly like usual. Typically the final reveal happens right after it's 'supposed' to end timewise. That said, in terms of order I think we'll see it jumping between various modes and reveal types like usual.

Yes, indeed.
But, i can watch from Youtube after it has aired.

geez I just want a demo.

Edit: wheel of fortune is going to switch. Explains why my mother was asking me about bundles.
