I don't know about anyone else, but I'm off to bed. Toodles!

23:18

That's everything! We hope you enjoyed the presentation, let us know what you thought in the inevitable slew of cracking articles!

23:17

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can now get vouchers to purchase games at a reduced price, as long as they're in pairs.

23:14

Aha, multiplayer!

23:13

Maker Profiles allow you to stand out from others.

23:12

Now we're getting onto the online stuff, the meat of the matter!

23:11

Yep, Mario can drive a car now.

23:10

AlexOlney said:

Bit of a shame that 3D World is so separate, but I can kind of see why.

23:10

Super Mario 3D World style is separate to the other four themes, courses cannot be interchanged between them.

23:09

Any course theme can night or day, and the game changes in some surprising ways.

23:08

Desert, Snow, Forest, and Sky themes!

23:07

Super Mario Maker 2 comes with a story mode, bowsers!

23:06

AlexOlney said:

Oh yes, clear conditions!

23:06

Co-Op course creation confirmed!

23:05

A new poet up of sorts, the Dry Bones Shell, allows Mario to boat through lava!

23:05

Vertical sub areas are now confirmed! Huzzah!

23:04

Swinging Claws are a thing.

23:03

AlexOlney said:

Remember the snake block?

23:03

Nintendo Switch Online will be required to share levels.

23:02

AlexOlney said:

EMBIGGEN?!

23:01

AlexOlney said:

I'm getting the sense this is designed as much for newcomers as anyone else.

23:01

Course IDs are back, for better or for worse.

23:00

Here we go!

22:54

Six minutes! Count 'em, six! That's how long we have left to wait!

22:52

Choo choo lovely people

22:50

T-minus 10 minutes until we can get stuck into this little doozy. Join us!

22:48

AlexOlney said:

I don't think we'll get a new style, but I really hope we'll get a new style.

22:46

AlexOlney said:

The new King K Rool mode is all but guaranteed now.

22:39

Just 20 minutes left until Nintendo douses us with Super Mario Maker 2 news. Hold tight!

22:37

Oooh, there's an actual video feed now!

22:35

No matter what they reveal, remember that we are already blessed.

22:25

AlexOlney said:

I have no idea what I'm expecting from all this, but even just a few new objects will have a massive impact on the game.

22:17

AlexOlney said:

Hello there Lovely People! Oooh lordy have I been looking forward to this!

ShinyUmbreon said:

This Is Going to be SUPER COOL!!!

twadebarcelona said:

Well, they're showing in the offers section, but they link to an unavailable page.

twadebarcelona said:

Vouchers are now live!!!

pAq said:

good night y'all

twadebarcelona said:

I'm hoping we get the vouchers tonight like they said we would. Still no sign of them.

pAq said:

yeah well it wasn't made clear in the direct, so I suppose you are right

Jimsbo said:

I’ve got it loading on my Switch right now. It’s going to be a useless icon for a month and a half, but it’ll be ready to go. Not sure how to get my stylus yet, though.

pinta_vodki said:

Maximum voucher saving is exactly the cost of a 12-month subscription. So basically, if you're ready to splash out for two games simultaneously, the online is free. noice

Dohogerse said:

Or local co op?

Dohogerse said:

But will it have local versus? On one system?

twadebarcelona said:

@pAq Only one person needs a stable internet connection. I'd assume all would need NSO.

pAq said:

monkeido I think she said one can host no need for online

GrooveManyula said:

E3 would be quite surprising, so who knows.

If Nintendo showed us this, imagine what E3 will be like

gardevoir7 said:

Depends on how close it comes out to Animal Crossing.

twadebarcelona said:

Vouchers don't seem to be available yet on UK Nintendo website.

gardevoir7 said:

I'm a fan of physical games. But I might look into the voucher there's another game I want too

its to bad I go for physical

pAq said:

if you use the voucher with buddy u save a little gardevoir7

It seems like only online or when you have multiple Switches, which is a bit of a shame

I'll get Mario Maker 2 eventually. It sounds great. Definitely makes the Wii U version sound bare bones in comparison,

Dohogerse said:

Is the co op only online?

gardevoir7 said:

I wasn't interested in Mario Maker at first but... now I guess I have another 60 dollars to spend this year

ScorpionMG said:

thank god I was accepted for a job during the summer period! Can't wait to buy this

MagicEmperor said:

Done deal for me. I can’t wait.

Grumblevolcano said:

Nintendo's announced Super Mario Maker 2 invitational June 8th

SuperWeird said:

3D-World graphics are cool, but the gameplay is all in 2D. Just makes me want 3D World for Switch more.

pAq said:

Nintendo games on the switch tend to be their ultimate incarnation

Being able to download Animal Crossing and Pokemon for $100 would be an AMAZING deal.

I was not gonna buy it, but story mode and the online multiplayer convinced me. Damn you, Nintendo!

pAq said:

I couldn't think of anything, they left out

GrooveManyula said:

It's going to be indeed fun, especially if people make Co-op focused stages.

ScorpionMG said:

damn this was amazing

gardevoir7 said:

It looks super fun!

gardevoir7 said:

Ok. So everyone else thought the online play was awesome right?

GrooveManyula said:

Pretty much.

SuperWeird said:

Online multiplayer coop is freaking amazing!!! Yes! Nintendo finally getting it.

everyone who has Nintendo online get vouchers>?

Ryu_Niiyama said:

– Nintendo Switch Online Vouchers can be used to buy two select digital titles for $99.99 and saving $20 in doing so if games are the standard $59.99 MSRP

GrooveManyula said:

Woo!

KryptoniteKrunch said:

Ok cool

YES

SheldonRandoms said:

Will also toodles since.....FOOD

BezBot said:

pAq said:

Hmm so no local multiplayer/co-op on 1 Switch?

SheldonRandoms said:

*Leaves LZ behind when playing levels*

Yeah

pAq said:

i had my share of surprises! this was great

Deku-Scrub said:

Happy to finally see the special NSO offers happening

Wario and Waluigi as DLC needs to happen.

YoshiTails said:

Night night alex

rjejr said:

My Nintendo Switch rewards?

jockmahon said:

proper good direct that,didnt stop for a second without news

I wonder if the American version had anything like that? It'd be even more of an incentive to go digital.

YoshiTails said:

J-Plap said:

DCorp said:

Anti-Matter said:

Super Mario Maker 2 has not met our expectations and development has been restarted from the beginning.

ReaderRagfish said:

Garlic Vs Capcom 2: New Clove of Heroes

pAq said:

thanks grumblevolcano I'm sure nobody knew that

mariolover16 said:

ONE MINUTE!!!!!!!!

jamesRainbowBoy said:

Woop woop!!!

BanjoPickles said:

Bring on the slopes, auto-scroll, and Shia LaBeouf as a hidden playable character!

I want onion rings now, darn you

Grumblevolcano said:

2 minutes

Words of wisdom, Alex-San lol

dont you love your garlic rings and onion bread

AlexOlney said:

Closer to leeks for memory.

pAq said:

that's what I said

AlexOlney said:

Or it would be an onion.

SheldonRandoms said:

I prefer my krabby patty with extra cheese, not extra veggies

YoshiTails said:

Now I have had a question answered by Alex, I can die a happy man #lifegoals

AlexOlney said:

It's very closely related to onions, but its's not the same.

Anti-Matter said:

Doug Bowser as a hidden Boss 🤣

Antray1984 said:

Felt they had announced all the new stuff already. I don't really know what else they can add at this point, but interested to see. Hope it isn't just a Mario Maker 101 for newbs

Dark-Luigi said:

The heck is that all about, huh? Seems exculsive to the game.

yes

GrooveManyula said:

Hmmm, are potatoes an vegetable?

pAq said:

it's an onion

Marth_is_cool said:

mystery mushrooms

sauce said:

Good afternoon y'all

Dark-Luigi said:

Oh yeah, that too!

Your life is certainly a lie. I don't know if garlic has anything to do with it.

DCorp said:

I just want to see those car-driving Koopas

SheldonRandoms said:

Garlic vs. Capcom

Yosher said:

Pfff Grailpls

YoshiTails said:

it's probably most accurate to call garlic a vegetable, even though it's hardly ever eaten on its own. In this sense, garlic is most similar to onions and shallots, although ultimately garlic belongs in a category all its own.

I hope shy guys are in it

playable piranha plant, waluigi is a background element

GrooveManyula said:

Luigi seems to be a given.

Alex, you could grow peas. And when you go into your garden, you could say 'hello lovely pea pole'

AlexOlney said:

The more I think about it the more I wonder if garlic is a fruit and my whole life is a lie.

Dark-Luigi said:

Playable characters like Luigi and such?

Marth_is_cool said:

hopefully they announce world creating

AlexOlney said:

I mean, I'm not going to sit down and eat whole raw cloves os it, but sweet babies is it the best flavour in flavourtown.

tomato is a fruit

J-Plap said:

Do you have a family?

YoshiTails said:

IS garlic really a vegetable?

😎😎😎

ReaderRagfish said:

my favorite vegetable is tomato sauce

J-Plap said:

Hi Alex

Yosher said:

Oh my god you WARIO.

You dudes are all amazing!

AlexOlney said:

My favourite vegetable is absolutely garlic.

SheldonRandoms said:

I want a certain Carrot to join a certain crew, that is the most i'll deal with that

YoshiTails said:

Hello Alex! (Also a Matt here)

(non lovely matt)

ReaderRagfish said:

5 minutes!

Hey...I hope we still get a Treehouse for this game at E3

AlexOlney said:

Hello Matt!

PokeMario said:

they better announce mother 3

pAq said:

eggplants...whatelse

Yosher said:

I'm willing to bet the info is coming now because the game is launching before E3. Or at least extremely shortly after E3.

RyanSilberman said:

Howdy

Dark-Luigi said:

Amiibo costumes in other palettes?

Hello lovely @AlexOlney !

This game will be everywhere on Youtube

YoshiTails said:

Favourite veg? I like carrots

AlexOlney said:

Vegetables are ruddy delicious.

pAq said:

kook this would be to much

I`ll buy it if theres a sotry mode

YoshiTails said:

Have to say didn't really expect more info til E3 - that's getting close

waluigi mode

SheldonRandoms said:

However this food contains VEGETABLES, BLEAH!

pAq said:

imagine... running to the left

ReaderRagfish said:

I'm not on the fence about this game at all, I'm buying it no matter what

Yosher said:

''Choo-Choo there lovely people''

Lets see if Nintendo can convince me to buy it!

DCorp said:

A Golden Express theme would actually be the greatest

mariolover16 said:

waiting and waiting for an ad!

ReaderRagfish said:

4D levels

pAq said:

ha grailuk:)

SheldonRandoms said:

Thankfully dinner is everyone serving themselves and not eating at the table, so THANKFULLY I can watch the direct LIVE on my laptop

Anti-Matter said:

3D level

Yosher said:

Imagine Nintendo actually implementing an actual ''Hype Train'' element into Mario Maker in this Direct.

ReaderRagfish said:

thwomp

YoshiTails said:

SLOPES

diagonal levels

would be nice

Vertical levels

ReaderRagfish said:

"A CRYSTAL"

Yosher said:

Just so long as they didn't take notes from that Toad-only SM64 hack.

AlexOlney said:

"I'LL REMEMBER THIS"

ReaderRagfish said:

no

Anti-Matter said:

How about play as Marioette, Luigette, etc 🤣

pAq said:

a 3d Mario maker would be dope!!!

ReaderRagfish said:

"THIS IS AS FAR AS YOU GO"

predicting this direct will be announce that Mario Maker 2 is $60 DLC that unlocks the debug mode in NSMBU

ReaderRagfish said:

"JUST WHAT I NEEDED"

GBA mode: with toad sounds

Yosher said:

FRESH FROM THE GARDEN.

Yosher said:

Oh god.

Grumblevolcano said:

GBA mode: JUST WHAT I NEEDED

Yosher said:

Hahaha yes.

super mario land

AlexOlney said:

Jumping sound effect is just me saying 'lovely'.

Yoshi's Island scribbly crayon levels.

every platform is an alex

pAq said:

no this is Patrick

XenoTraveler_8 said:

No, this is Patrick!

Yosher said:

How about AlexOlney style?

banjo in smash and some pokemon sword news

SheldonRandoms said:

I guess i'll watch the direct on the news channel, but before I go....Is this the Krusty Krab?

AlexOlney said:

That's not how colour bars work.

jockmahon said:

red on red annoys me, move the purple over

BezBot said:

no

Is multiplayer confirmed yet

SheldonRandoms said:

Why does dinnnnnner time always have to rev up when i'm trying to watch these directs?!?!

ReaderRagfish said:

just looked it up, seems there's no given price on the special edition

*approx.

Grumblevolcano said:

The stylus is a preorder bonus, not a special edition extra

Did you know: All of the Nintendo Life staff watching this in the UK are seeing this at 3 am*?

pAq said:

Anti-Matter said:

I use my smartphone to chat here while using my Switch to watch the Direct.

ha

XenoTraveler_8 said:

Crash Bandicoot levels!

Thanks pAq

pAq said:

since 5 minutes

Metroid levels.

This is new...? Since when do they have countdowns?

pAq said:

nobody knows anything, that's why we're here

XenoTraveler_8 said:

Sora for Smash!

BezBot said:

what special edition?

pAq said:

ha I got that pencil ...somewhere under that pile of amiibo boxes

ReaderRagfish said:

does anyone know how much extra the special edition costs? I want the stylus but don't really need the sub or steelbook

Marth_is_cool said:

multiplayer?

Grumblevolcano said:

Please be world maps

ReaderRagfish said:

I bought a 3DS just for mario maker, then a few days I got dragon quest 7 and then forgot about mario maker

pAq said:

same here bezbot

SheldonRandoms said:

We need the miiverse messages to return so people can spoil how to clear levels since the creator made an "impossible" level, only for their to be a secret door somewhere hidden.

BezBot said:

That's the problem with VR most games are a one and done experience. So I end up not playing it too often (besides Beat Saber) because it just doesn't offer much more imo

StormtheFrontier said:

Didn't play Mario Maker on the Wii U, perhaps this can convince me.

pAq said:

what do you plan on psvr beside the usual suspects like beat saber and astro bot (aka superrobotmario sunshine VR)

YoshiTails said:

Labo elephant ftw

I hope they announce that you can still spit the key out of yoshi's mouth right before you go through the keyhole

Hi

StormtheFrontier said:

Hello everyone

PokeMario said:

gamers rise

Grumblevolcano said:

The countdown started!

Ryu_Niiyama said:

yall can have allllll that vr mess.

Ye, it's not trying to be PS4VR

BezBot said:

and no strap reduces sickness/strain because its easy to take off and look away if there is a problem

No head strap makes taking turns more immediate. (Y'know, for kids)

BezBot said:

as a PSVR owner, labo vr is fun for what it is (granted I only bought the starter kit) and the blaser game is really cool but yeah botw isnt great but Odyssey was nice

YoshiTails said:

VR mode in mario maker?

Grumblevolcano said:

There's plenty I didn't get because the 2 hardest difficulties are mostly troll levels

and why no head strap thing

Ryu_Niiyama said:

welp never getting those then.

Grumblevolcano said:

Lock them behind 100 Mario Challenge

Grumblevolcano said:

Nintendo would probably do the SMM Wii U approach to costumes

BezBot said:

yeah idk why people got upset over loot boxes in pocket camp and saying it'll lead to them being in the main game, like it's free to play

Ryu_Niiyama said:

Labo is fair.

(Sure, they consider their stuff to have worth but that's different)

pAq said:

it actually isn't...yet

that is not made with cardboad overprcied

Ryu_Niiyama said:

Aww. I miss TvC.

or greedy

SheldonRandoms said:

Slopes Vs. Capcom

Ryu_Niiyama said:

Nintendo isnt crazy.

Ryu_Niiyama said:

lol that will never happen

BezBot said:

watch they reveal loot boxes for different costumes

hehe

Ryu_Niiyama said:

if that is the case @grailuk yall will hear about me on the news outside the HQ.

SheldonRandoms said:

Can't wait to play on all of those music levels again

i am saving up for vr

I'm worried if this Switch lite thing is real, we will see Zelda limited edition for Awakening, Red and Blue for Pokémon, A Metroid Trilogy one etc etc

BezBot said:

hoping for a demo thing released today

Ryu_Niiyama said:

I'm saving myself for Zelda.

Ryu_Niiyama said:

I hope not. I promised myself I would only buy one LE this gen.

pAq said:

I might open a bottle of beer just now

Will there be a limited Edition Switch?

Bigmuc said:

Yup

no today it is only water but it is good liked that

Oh

Ryu_Niiyama said:

so I dont get to watch yall do drinking games today? darn

Grch said:

praying that's actually a surprise with the Animal Crossing presentation

BezBot said:

yeah just water for me, had to get off all the sugar stuff

jamesRainbowBoy said:

Can't wait!!!

unsweet iced tea with steava

pAq said:

Pina Colada

ReaderRagfish said:

with a cup of water

ReaderRagfish said:

enough time for me to sit here and do nothing for 30 minutes!

Ryu_Niiyama said:

green tea for me.

Enough time to make a brew!

ReaderRagfish said:

so 30 minutes now?

pAq said:

I guess Nintendo held back Pokemon amiibo cards to prevent future riots in toystores

Ryu_Niiyama said:

@grailuk lol

yes they still around pokemon cards

Hopefully you don't have to remorgage 3 actual houses

Ryu_Niiyama said:

That being said.. If they announce amiibo for 3 houses I'm going to have to take out a loan.

YoshiTails said:

Relax Alex

Ryu_Niiyama said:

I'm still salty about no female Robin, so Fire Emblem amiibo take a knee imo.

mario and sonic platformer game at e3

they aren't toys

BezBot said:

are pokemon cards still like a big thing?

pAq said:

indeed grailUK

Again, more than just figures you stare at

Infact why isn't that a thing?

YoshiTails said:

Put mario objects in greenhill zone

Pokémon TCG where all the cards are scannable ammibo would be epic.

pAq said:

oh good evening MR Olney

BezBot said:

I feel like 2 player is a given in this game (just look at the box) but 4 player.. I'm not sure

that would be an cool

YoshiTails said:

Sonic playable character

pAq said:

was really afraid they would make all Pokemon as amiibo.. would have been my ruin

ohhh. Just Luigi, or 4 player?

BezBot said:

multiplayer reveal

Gah can't wait.

That's more DX lol

A few objects is hardly a sequel

pAq said:

I just bought the FE amiibos for completionising reasons

Anyone reckon they will go and add Super Mario 2 gameplay? Pulling up turnips in Mario 3?

what about the fire emblem amiibo

YoshiTails said:

Olney Wan Kenobi

pAq said:

still poochy is lit

Good evening Mr Alex.

pAq said:

i was hoping for more colors back in the Wii U days

Ryu_Niiyama said:

*crafted

YoshiTails said:

Mario Maketh the Man

pAq said:

yesss grumblevolcano

Ryu_Niiyama said:

I was kinda hoping Crafty world was going to get a yoshi in a cardboard box or something.

pAq said:

the wooly amiibos are the best

agreed

Ryu_Niiyama said:

YES

Grumblevolcano said:

The best amiibo were the Yarn Yoshi ones

I'm thinking bigger than action figures lol

then scan them in for extra value

Ryu_Niiyama said:

Well they have the world of nintendo toys if you want action figures.

If you could do something with them, like play a table top game

I don't mind Amiibo functionality, I wish they were more toy than figurine.

Ryu_Niiyama said:

He could be a skin in smash, but I can't see a whole character.

pAq said:

yep builder Mario would indeed be supercool

Ryu_Niiyama said:

Builder Mario Amiibo would be cool.

Calling it now, Builder Mario will be announced for Smash DLC

pAq said:

I likes me amiibo and am not disappointed

Ryu_Niiyama said:

welcome.

Howdy y'all. I have no intention of ever playing MM2 but I'm still here for the Direct hype.

Ryu_Niiyama said:

I've personally felt the amiibo content was just right. as most of it you could unlock on your own. So it isn't really a paywall.

SheldonRandoms said:

Super Mario Maker 2 X The Krusty Krab

Hi everyone. I have my bingo card ready. Monkey Ball, Metroid Trilohmmm? Oh, I see. AWESOME!

DockEllisD Better be right or I am rioting

Dr_Corndog said:

Put too little content behind amiibo, and they lose their charm. The people who buy amiibo end up disappointed.

Dr_Corndog said:

(As if there's ever been a time you could expect someone to give you something without paying for it.)

Dr_Corndog said:

Nintendo kind of put themselves in an impossible situation with Nintendo. Put a lot of functionality behind amiibo, and people complain about paywalls.

I'd settle for a decent Paper Mario game. It's been 12 years now

Ryu_Niiyama said:

...Although I kinda wish there was a Mario RPG maker now...

Ryu_Niiyama said:

i just want some amiibo functionality. I didnt give you all my money for nothing Nintendo!

Dr_Corndog said:

Every enemy, item, gimmick, trap, theme, etc. from the games represented.

Dr_Corndog said:

"If it appeared in SMB, SMB3, SMW, or NSMBU, it's in Mario Maker 2." That's what I want to hear.

Grumblevolcano said:

I think Peach and Rosalina will get playable status because of 3D World

Actually, in all seriousness, I'd love to see Bowser as a playable character

"Including all your favorite mario characters: Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, Peach, Daisy, Wario, E. Gadd, Yoshi, Rosalina and Pauline"

Galarian_Lassie said:

It'd be cool if they add new abilities to the Mystery Mushrooms this time around. (Have Link use his sword or Fox use his blaster)

Does not mentioning him at all when multiplayer comes up count as a diss?

Kal_ said:

Calling it: There's gonna be a diss to Waluigi

DockEllisD said:

Introducing: 3D Maker Mode

And there you have it three times over

Grumblevolcano said:

The fact 12 months NSO is the deluxe edition of SMM2, I think it'll work like Smash Ultimate's Stage Builder

NintendOrc said:

Hey. J-Plap, probably yes because they are selling limited edition with 12 month membership

Well since they're bundling NSO, I'd say it's almost certain you will

hello

J-Plap said:

Do you guys think you need nso for sharing levels?

J-Plap said:

Hey guys!

Nintendo_Thumb said:

Here's to Online Multiplayer!

gamermole said:

das boot

gamermole said:

i want the boot

I can guarantee you can get the raccoon suit. We already know SMB3 is in the game. Now, I just want the Frog Suit and Hammer Bros suits to be in too...

MrGaminPlay said:

I loved the thing

MrGaminPlay said:

I hope we can get Raccoon suit

MrGaminPlay said:

oop

Oh yeah, definitely time at Treehouse. SMM would be great to watch people mess around with,.

Grumblevolcano said:

I think it'll get the Mario Tennis Aces treatment at E3, maybe a few seconds in the Direct but some Treehouse segments

Well Nintendo already put the stream up for some reason, so I guess NL decided to do theirs as well.

BezBot said:

well almost a couple I guess

BezBot said:

dang this started already? we still got a couple hours

It's not like they need to explain the core of the game, people know what they're getting. It's just the new stuff they need to go over.

Nah, 15 minutes is fine for a game like this. I doubt we'll see much of anything at E3

platoonleaderg said:

i think they keep more things to show on E3

platoonleaderg said:

15 minutes is very little

Same here, but it should be interesting to see the early chat at least

gamermole said:

or do you still do it?

gamermole said:

nintendorc can i ask why you stopped game development?

Ryu_Niiyama said:

I dont have enough labo for a fort...

HeroponRiki said:

Sure setting this one up early. When I saw this on the site I thought I had the time wrong.

gamermole said:

still do it as a hobby tho. not good enough to actualy develop haha

NintendOrc said:

Nice

gamermole said:

yeah i used to use gamemaker when i was a kid too. then i got decent at it

build a fort around your computer

NintendOrc said:

Haha, i remember when i made some little games in Game Maker when i was kid.

Ryu_Niiyama said:

at least some of yall are home. im at work and the boss sits behind me...

NintendOrc said:

Yep it's Mario Maker only

gamermole said:

isnt it mario maker only?

hi hoping for some pokemon news

gamermole said:

im going to just make a game in gamemakerstudio while i wait haha

Bigmuc said:

Yeah doesn’t make sense traffic was probably down and they wanted a few more clicks

BensonUii said:

Also why this early? Usually this page is up 1 hour before the Direct

y'all can kill some time catching up on youtube drama or something

Grumblevolcano said:

Most Directs are 11pm UK time

BensonUii said:

What. Tonight?

gamermole said:

damn 11pm?

Bigmuc said:

We had the pokemon direct at 6 am tough luck

move to america

the direct is at 12 in the morning

Grumblevolcano said:

Have Mario Maker 2 be the first special edition

if you're from europe nintendo practically doesn't give a damn

Bigmuc said:

I think they’re being sarcastic

why on this one

Grumblevolcano said:

I think they may announce Switch Mini at the end

some other unusal themes would be cool.

Bigmuc said:

I feel like they’re gonna announce multiplayer, some new enemies from 3D world. And my wish is a galaxy theme or a odyssey theme.

super mario land remake

Grumblevolcano said:

Also update Captain Toad with the 3D World Captain Toad content

Grumblevolcano said:

I feel at this point the most needed port/remaster is 3D World because of Mario Maker 2

Bigmuc said:

I’m so hype if they announce Luigi I’m gonna poop my pants

no anime charcters

Bigmuc said:

Mario for Smash!!!!!

rjejr said:

Well snack is done, see you all in a couple of hours

that'll teach them

Ryu_Niiyama said:

remaster? sure take my money. windwaker was great.

and if they dont, I'll write a very very angry blog post

They would never give free Gamecube games. They will just remaster them and sell them full price

Ryu_Niiyama said:

At least ask for mother 3 so you have a snowball's chance

Ryu_Niiyama said:

wow setting that bar high huh?

I expect nintendo to announce free gamecube games

Ryu_Niiyama said:

*I just show up

rjejr said:

At least we aren't Sony fans 😅

Ryu_Niiyama said:

I'm just show up for the comment bingo...

@rjejr Good to hear. We can all talk about our crazy expectations for a good couple of weeks and then cry when they don't happen! Awesome!

Ryu_Niiyama said:

well there are way more tears on E3 day than normal.

rjejr said:

E3 live chat goes up June 1st

So basically this site every day of the week

cant wait to forget to watch this live in a few hours

Ryu_Niiyama said:

and unrealistic wishlists...

Ryu_Niiyama said:

we can not have the E3 page too early. tears, insults and shots fired everywhere.

@AlexSora89 It is never too early. Where is the E3 page

Ryu_Niiyama said:

LOL

rjejr said:

Tell'em Alex

AlexSora89 said:

What @rjejr said*

Ryu_Niiyama said:

a little early isn't it to start the chatfire?

AlexSora89 said:

What @rjejr, dude friggin' ninja'd me

AlexSora89 said:

Isn't it a bit too early for this page to pop up?

rjejr said:

3 hours pre-show, W

IceEarthGuard said:

Let's see if this direct will make me say "WOW!"

brunojenso said:

What could they reveal that would be a game-changer for the game do you think? I'd go for a world-map editor for a set of interconnected courses.

ReaderRagfish said:

3 hours? cool, I should be around at that time

Nookingtons said:

braaap

looks like i won't be watching live, oops

i thought it was next week...

wait this is happening?

Grumblevolcano said:

3 hours before the Direct, that's new.
