@Ralizah
If we get Monster Hunter in Smash, I’ll be satisfied.

And I’m not a big Smash fanatic. In fact, not once have I really cared all that much who the next character is. But I care now. We NEED the Monster Hunter...

We need the Hunter for the Hunter amiibo. Forget the game. I mean, I’ll play him. It would actually make me play Smash again, which no other character has done for me. But I really want that amiibo. All 3 of the Rise amiibo are great, but none are the hunter. All I want is one single Amiibo of a hunter decked head to toe in full armor set.

  • Wirebug for Up+B recovery.
  • Multi-weapon moves like Marvel vs Capcom Infinite.
  • Palico and Palamute for assist trophies.
  • Final Smash where 3 other hunters join in, lay a pitfall trap, set 4 MEGA barrel bombs, and blow everyone to smitherines, OR
  • Final Smash where the Hunter mounts a monster, then leads a rampage charge and tears everyone to shreds

It would also explain the delay in announcing the MH Rise Edition Switch. Yah? It totally would! I can see it now. Hunter for Smash, followed by a new MH Rise trailer, a new 2nd demo announcement for early March, and the MH Rise edition console and pro controller. Exclusive to GameStop, of course 😉

@Ralizah And on the other hand, release dates for NMH III or Bayo 3 alone would be enough to satisfy me.

We have a thread for that already, thanks ..... I'm not clicking on some weird link with a site name I've never heard of without a much better idea where it goes, either

@BruceCM You should click the link, it's from the Prince of Belarus and he will help you with claiming the national lotto winnings of their country for a small fee after you give over some personal details.

@BruceCM This person made an account just over two hours ago and their only posts have been posting that link. It's can't be legitimate.

Yeah, you carry on with that, @jump ..... I'm assuming it's spam of some kind, @TheJGG, rather than anything worse but either way, I don't think it's worth it! I'm sure mods will soon sort it out, though

@BruceCM I would write a few paragraphs about how awful fake news is but I've already done it.

TheJGG wrote:

In our post-truth world, where news outlets seem to focus on the negatives rather than the positives, I’ve shied away from traditional media. The coronavirus has only managed to highlight the shortcomings of the average human, because in the face of overwhelmingly powerful factual evidence, some people still find excuses to avoid taking the necessary steps to protect those around them.

In Florida one person declared at a council meeting that they wouldn’t be able to play their trumpet because of a mask. Another stated that their “God-given gift” of lungs had been wasted because of masks. That the former US President, objectively one of the most powerful and influential people in the world, refused to wear a mask until hundreds of thousands of Americans had died, tells me a lot about the human race.

I’ve watched the news for years, but only now do I realise how pessimistic it is. Rarely does the news tell us something motivating over a demoralising statistic. And with everything going on why would we need it, when we already spend hours doomscrolling our way through negative media after negative media?

In September I was in Bristol, and every day when I walked into the city I saw university students socialising, and interacting without any kind of protection. All of a sudden I find it difficult to blame the government for just how many people a day get infected by these irresponsible youth, not to mention how many D-list Love Island celebrities go off to the Maldives, breaking all kinds of lockdown rules. In other countries, where the restrictions are rightly tighter, most people would wear masks without question.

@TheJGG That ignores how the UK government have been consistently inconsistent with their message to the masses. Like saying you shouldn't go out but then pays for people meals if you do eat out, schools are completely safe only for them to say literally the next day it's not, you should not be travelling around the country during lockdown but government officials are doing so without consequence after being caught etc.

Besides everyone knows the news is fake as proven by social media telling us the truth about how Coivd isn't real as it's just a scheme created by Hugo Chavez's ghost to distract people from the install of 5G towers so he can track your data for the New World Order which is made up of pizza shop owners and lefty Hollywood types.

@JaxonH I think at the least MH Rise will get a sizable spotlight in the Direct and that's where the special edition console and pro controller get announced for NA.

Something like:

  • 5-10 minutes - Smash
  • 5-10 minutes - MH Rise
  • 5-10 minutes - NSO
  • 5 minutes - Zelda 35th anniversary
  • 2-3 minutes - Coming soon sizzle reel(s), sometimes Directs have 2 sizzle reels
  • Remaining time - ~1 minute headlines

@jump Can't believe I was so stupid! In any case thanks for reading (That was part of a short story I'm writing for a competition). You have a good point, I'll have to incorporate that part.

"All of a sudden I find it difficult to blame the government (as inconsistent as they may be) for just how many people a day get infected by these irresponsible youth,"

You're right. Coivd isn't real. Must be a "new" word, like covfefe. Where are all these words coming from?!

@Grumblevolcano
I imagine so.

But if they spend 10 min on NSO, just shoot me now. Unless it's a genuine upgrade to the service besides more NES announcements.

None of that is true. The only people who believe things like that are the ones who've had the vaccine already and - in their case - it's only because the microchips placed in the vaccine by the lizard people who run the illuminati are programmed to place errant thoughts in your head.

@StuTwo

Both are wrong! The whole plan is created by Bill Gates that want to make 90% of the people zombies with microchips in their brains! This is to make sure that nobody finds out that the Earth is indeed flat and jump off the edge from the Ice Wall called Antarctica into the Nothingness and find the meaning of Life!

@StuTwo You're so foolish, my New World Order is mightier than your Illuminati! Also your social media is reporting fake news unlike my social media who are brave enough to ask the question of what is "true".

My predictions for today’s Direct:

10 minutes Smash Bros character reveal and showcase
5 minutes Age of Calamity DLC
10 minutes Bravely Default 2
10 minutes Monster Hunter Rise
5 minutes No More Heroes 3
The remaining time is given to third party announcements, a smallish Nintendo game and a one more thing for the big holiday title.
I’m unsure if Zelda anniversary will be done in the Direct. With Mario still celebrating his, and Pokemon next week I think Nintendo will wait till second half of the year and release a collection and one or two other games - either ports or new titles - and celebrate the same way they did with Mario.

Predictions from me:

  • New SMT III HD trailer announcing the English release date + Official confirmation the game is coming to PC on Atlus' social media + Reminder SMT V is coming this year
  • New Smash character announcement + date for next Sakurai Presents
  • Reminder on imminent Switch releases like Bravely 2, MH Rise and Persona 5 Strikers
  • 2D Metroid for Switch
  • All the games that were recently rated will get their own segments (Great Ace Attorney, Tales from the Borderlands, etc.)
  • No More Heroes 3
  • Another budget Nintendo game like Good Job!
  • New Square Enix ports (either FFI-VI, FF Tactics or DQIV-VI)
  • Star Wars: Republic Commando for Switch/PS4 announcement
  • GBA on NSO
  • New MK8D DLC
  • More cloud-only ports like Control and Hitman

RISKIER PREDICTIONS:

  • Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition for Switch (now Switch has practically all the DMC games that it's actually capable of running natively minus DmC)
  • A new Atlus port (either Digital Devil Saga or Persona 4 Golden)
  • New non-gameplay teaser for BotW2
  • Metroid Prime 4 teaser
  • Metroid Prime Trilogy during its 35th anniversary
  • Switch-exclusive Resident Evil game announcement (from the Capcom leak)

@FragRed I'm the type who is basically always happy with whatever they show us but I'd actually be mad if I woke up early and wasted my time on that.

@BenAV I’m keeping my expectations low. I don’t think Nintendo are doing a 50 minute presentation because they’ve got so much to showcase for the first half. If anything I think it’s because they are pushing both Monster Hunter Rise and Bravely Default 2 as their big first half games. Smash reveal is always a big event and Nintendo have happily done big segments for character reveals before. I’m just thinking we shouldn’t go into this with high hopes but hope for the surprises.

  • Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD trailer and release date. Yay!
  • Shin Megami Tensei V teaser. Yay!!
  • Smash character. Either Monster Hunter or Crash Bandicoot, although my money is on the Hunter.
  • Trailers for stuff coming soon, like Persona 5 Strikers and Bravely Default II.
  • Gnosia is shadow-dropped during presentation. Yay!
  • Great Ace Attorney collection is officially announced for localization. Yay!!
  • New trailers for upcoming exclusives like Rune Factory 5, No More Heroes III, etc.
  • Something is announced that I never would have expected in my wildest dreams, I think is stupid when I first hear about it, but once it releases I try it and actually kind of like it.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD/Wind Waker HD double-pack announced
  • WILD GUESS HERE - HD remakes of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are announced as the one last thing.
  • ALTERNATIVE WILD GUESS - Super Mario Galaxy 2 is announced for release on the eshop.
