Not surprised Nintendo removed Smash but at least we got KOF, Melty Blood, and Skullgirls so I ain't upset.

Faves are Bloodlines, Rondo of Blood, and Super Castlevania 4.
I still remember getting Bloodlines just to test out an emulator but I ended up loving the game.

Don't worry Nintendo, I've been reminding myself the hype for over a month now.

Admittedly, I'm not as big of a fan of KOF compared to Smash, Street Fighter, or Mortal Kombat, but I'm still excited to play as Terry. It saddens me that people are bashing him as a "omg irrelevant!" inclusion. This is probably coming from the same people who want Geno (even though I'm not against him).

Shame Break the Targets probably won't be coming back but this is just as great!

Honestly in retrospect, I think the PS2 and GameCube are the best consoles ever made. Both had so many solid games. It was such a great time to be alive with both of these consoles.

Top Ten in no order:
10. Melee
9. FE: Path of Radiance
8. Super Mario Sunshine
7. Resident Evil 4
6. F-Zero GX
5. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
4. Metroid Prime
3. TLOZ: The Wind Waker
2. Pikmin
1. Mario Kart Double Dash!!

Honestly one of my favorite indie games of all time. Had such a blast with this game last year that I might rebuy this on Switch. Highly recommend, 8/10.

Something something Trump bad, something something Brexit bad. I can already tell this comment thread is about to get......interesting.

But in all honesty, why does it seem that politics must be in everything nowadays?

How sad. Was huge fan of him back in the day, but I stopped watching him as he was going down the spiral. It’s sad to see he never had the chance to seek help. May he Rest In Peace.

Honestly, this game to me is simultaneously boring and breathtaking. There’s moments of “meh” but there’s also some that are truly amazing.

Kinda of obscure, but the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie Game is pretty darn good. Battle for Bikini Bottom might be a little bit better, but the movie game has a lot of enjoyment.

Both cool and disappointing at the same time. On one hand, it looks pretty cool! But on the other, P5 isn’t coming to the Switch. Luckily, P5 is on sale for $20 at a store near where I live so I can still get it (but P5 on the go would have been cool).

@The_Keywork Bro you don’t even know how much trophies mean to a lot of people. They had funny, witty descriptions and gave you information about whichever game it came from. Not only was Smash Bros the game the way I got into so many other game franchises, it was also the trophies.

It’s nice to see fans do what Nintendon’t. I’m still upset about the trophies’ removal.....

Nice to see this! Her amiibo work is amazing. Will be missing you, Reggie.

Bet: if this character is trash, NO ONE will be praising it anymore. Personally I still don’t get why people are acting like this is the best character they’ve added to Smash, but whatever.

@Silly_G It's best to reserve judgement for the film until you see it. I agree that Hollywood just cares about profit, but that doesn't ALWAYS curb creativity (i.e. the new Spider-Man movie, the LEGO Movie, etc). I too have concerns about this movie, but I'm going to wait to see it before I brush it off as a bad popcorn-flick (which there are many these days).

@locky-mavo Or you know, some people actually want him because they like him as a character. I mean, you really could say the same exact thing about the other characters.

People can now stop complaining about Isabelle being a slot-wasted character.

This has me super excited. If Banjo or even someone like Crono gets announced, I would never ask Nintendo for anything.

Wait, Nintendo is actually trying for once (in terms of anything online related)!?!?

Wait, there's real Metal songs in this game?
I need it.

@AlphaElite Yeah it was Lucas. However, he was not an Assist Trophy. He was just a regular trophy.
Honestly, if Assist Trophies can become fighters, that would be a softer blow for this massacre of a Direct.

There better be HYPER REALISTIC BLOOD in these.

Smash Direct? Forty-minutes long?? In two days??? At a time when I can watch it live!?!?
What timeline is this........

Smash Fans: "Waluigi is bad and irrelevant, therefore he can't be in Smash!"
Also Smash Fans: "Geno DESERVES to be in Smash despite being in one game where he wasn't even the star and is not known by the majority!"

I love Geno and Waluigi, but to say the latter can't be in Smash because he's "irrelevant" is completely stupid.

I want to believe....................

Too bad. I don't care for politics.

@roadrunner343 I agree as well.

That one level where Captain Toad asks for your parent's credit card info was enough for an 18+ rating.

It's still crazy to me that a licensed game is one of the best games of all time.

Alright, where can I apply for this wonderful job?

This is waaaaaaaaaay better than Bowsette.

Gosh, these people need girlfriends..........

@JaxonH I have the same opinion as you. I check IGN ONLY for entertainment news because everything else they do is toxic and annoying (except for their Nintendo podcast).

Remember when there were people here and on the rest of the internet who doubted this guy’s illness and thought he wanted to play just so he could leak info? That being said, I’m happy he was able to play Smash, considering he died not too long after his wish was granted.

R.I.P.

I wonder why people don't like the second game as much as the others. The case with the two sisters is still mind-blowing (won't spoil it). However, the third is my favorite. Gadot is better than Franziska imo.

Inb4 somewhere someone blames companies and capitalism and that he shouldn't be accountable for what he did.

Yet no new F-Zero...........

Meh. Would prefer if it was Super Butoden 3 with the awesome “Goten Vs. Trunks” theme.

Nice to see all the wholesome and considerate comments about this poor guy.........

Seriously, what's wrong with you people?

This Direct can't come any sooner, I swear.....

@mr12calvin So the world sucks because of Europe but it's also great since you live in Mexico? Mmmmm......

Best news this week.

Imma be real with you, chief

No one wanted this

(Maybe the actual FFXV, just not this)

We got Splatoon. We good.

Two things:

1. The Online service will either be a huge surprise and amazing or a huge disappointment.
2. The Nintendo Life staff has great taste in music.

@Euler I know exactly who you’re talking about lol. I mean, I would like him but I think if they made an assist trophy as a character, it should be Ashley first, at least.

@ShadJV Honestly, I figured K. Rool would make it. I had a hunch he would. Ridley however, I did NOT expect at ALL.
Also, I’m pleased to meet a Tingle supporter! It’s nice to have people who want not-as-highly-requested-fighters.

@Euler True and I agree with you as well. I don’t think I've seen ANYONE ask for Tingle. Impa or Skull Kid would be better Zelda reps imo.
By the way, your profile pic reminds that Ashley is sadly an assist trophy once again. But then again who knows for certain what other characters could still be announced.
