In other news, a Animal Crossing Direct is coming February 20. https://mobile.twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1229888341769744385

@sanderev You do actually have a point there

Where is mah Nintendo Direct, Nintendo?

I can see a cease and desist happening to protect IP.

Why are Mario Kart 7's online so hacked? People who hack and randomly put them in 1st place, or having players go last, making them get the better items, need to be banned permanently!! I wish Nintendo would see to this and ban these players from cheating online.

I'm going to play some good games of Mario Kart 7 online and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe cause I'm in the mood for some good ol fashioned Mario Kart.

If there ever is a final system update for the 3DS, I would love for them to remove the Nintendo Zone Viewer app and Miiverse from the 3DS's Home Menu.

Does anyone actually like hearing the words 'leak' and 'rumor' everytime they see something that's not 'news'. Everything seems to be, get this...

Fake news

Since exactly when did the internet first launch? These rumours are starting to get utterly ridiculous. Why can't everyone that produces these leaks suffer a cease and desist??? These problems would not happen. Getting really sick and tired from hearing the same word 'rumour' (rumor, for us in the States) over and over again.

@WallyWest That makes sense.

@WallyWest So everything can be obtained via normal gameplay?

I'm just spitballing but the way I see it, Nintendo is just protecting these IPs, obviously.

They'll announce something when they announce something.

I would love it if these were available absolutely free of charge. These NSO exclusive stuff is pretty ridiculous. I don't want to buy a Nintendo Switch Online membership just to get these Spirits. Sure, maybe I'll consider buying it, but the way Nintendo has it not running free is pretty ridiculous. Please bring back Nintendo Network!

Yes! More Spirits to grind my character at!

I would love for a true Paper Mario to happen. Please #MakeItHappenNintendo

Although now that I see it, seeing as how AlphaDream released Bowser's Inside Story on the 3DS and it didn't sell well, having them go into bankruptcy, possibly having the Mario & Luigi series be just a flap in the wind (no pun intended) how do the sales of Sticker Star and Color Splash end up being? Intelligent Systems better not go bankrupt. They are popular for releasing Fire Emblem and Paper Mario.

I do not see tetrominos being a fighter. I just don't really. Speculation is speculation though. I just don't see it. I can see it being in an unofficial mod called Super Smash Flash and its sequel, but not in an actual game, neither do any of the characters here. But again, speculation is speculation.

Those dates look very suspicious though.

We just got a Smash Direct announced for January 16th. I believe that a normal Direct could happen on the 30th or February 13th because both those days fall on a Wednesday and Thursday and typically we've a few Directs happen on a Thursday, but they mostly happen on Wednesdays. This might not mean anything at all.

I can't imagine how this would work on a smaller screen than on a Nintendo device. I don't like other games that can't handle movement of characters without a movement pad. I just don't see it working on a mobile phone. Just do your IPs on Nintendo consoles, Nintendo. I wouldn't see your IPs on a mobile device without specific peripherals made for devices. And I don't think it will sell. The Nintendo Switch is perfect for games like these and popular IPs. I don't really play Nintendo video games on mobile phones besides Pokémon Go.

Didn't we just have tournaments for the past week, or is that no and I miscalculated? What's the use of these tournaments in Smash anyway? Do they provide new Spirits?

Maybe we'll get a teaser at the end of the Direct. For it to be "roughly 20 minutes" what Pokémon news would be squeezed a full 20 minutes. Nintendo usually almost-always ends a Direct with a "...oh, and there's one more thing, please take a look." Smash Ultimate trailer appears, with Sakurai providing more information

This is at least my theory, it might not happen

Also known unknowns include Pikmin 4 and others which one of the users here already listed.

I'm surprised we didn't get any Spirits of the many stages that are in all of the games, as there were some that were shown as trophies in Smash Melee (like Princess Peach's Castle and Battlefield)

Dang. These are breathtaking

If only there was a way that instead of only one is playing a Nintendo Switch and you are the only account holder playing, isn't there a way to not have the 'Please select a user' while selecting a game save file or entering the game in general. That is frustrating for me cause I would love to play the game as fast as possible.

Which brings me to another point. I wish that Nintendo updated it to include even faster load times. Just waiting 5-6 seconds isn't an issue for me, but I would love it if they updated the UI to have the Switch be able to load even faster.

It has been delayed.

This decade was the worst in terms of the amount of deaths in two of my families, both in the workforce and life in general.

In 2011, I lost a former family member that was a helper to my grandmother as well, to a massive heart attack at the age of 64

In 2013, Hiroshi Yamauchi died

In 2014, my grandmother died from breast cancer at 74

In 2015, Satoru Iwata had died

In 2017, a former employee died from stage 4 cancer.

In 2018, another former employee died from a gunshot followed by blunt force trauma to the head with a baseball bat.

I got Luigi's Mansion 3 for Christmas. I accidentally got a download version of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate instead of the character packs. Will return that and get the DLC, cause its what I wanted, but didn't get.

At least it won MY Game of the Year!

I was literally holding my breath for it to at least win once, but no. I'm sorely disappointed

Wait, Paramount is being shut down after what 100+ years????

Or is it another studio

I'm guessing an official Nintendo Direct in January then? I can't wait another month for a Nintendo Direct.

Although The Game Awards might have something since Reggie Fils-Aimé will appear at the show surprisingly

I feel like this should be labeled in the 'Random' category.

I wish we did a stint from the Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom videos and found a cure before he succumbed to it, so we could save him and he could've lived. Sadly, this is not real. Cancer freaking sucks, man

Wish Nintendo of America did something like this for us Americans. I'd make a petition for Nintendo America to forcibly participate. I would've loved free stuff. Why do video games have to be so expensive nowadays, actually no, let me rephrase that, why does everything have to be so expensive nowadays?

YouTube wasn't even operational back in 1993. I was born 2 years later, on August 15th

With no 3DS version in sight at stores, I believe this version was cancelled.

Why hasn't Nintendo acknowledged this yet?

But actually, come to think of it, this peripheral was probably just to promote the Switch's two-player experience. Almost (Not everyone owns a Switch) everyone has one, but you can just bring two Switches together for local multiplayer. There, problem solved.

Raid Battles hm? Didn't they take that from Pokémon Go originally, or are they just new versions in this game?

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Nintendo should really abandon the 3DS. I'm still surprised that some games that were released in 2011 (like Mario Kart 7) still uses the Nintendo Network. How long do we really have before Nintendo fully realizes that the 3DS is basically dead?

Ya'know. I don't think we will get an announcement maybe for years, if at all, take Mother 3 for example, we've been going about this one for many years, and unfortunately, that's not their problem anymore. So I can see Metroid making a comeback someday? Maybe Mother 3 happening? Only time will tell

I remember this thing, but last time, Twitter speculated the numbers for if a Nintendo Direct was on the horizon. Good times

It apparently is very challenging indeed. Trying to get those pesky lvl. 9 challenges that cannot be unlocked with a hammer is very frustrating that I continue to rage quit every time I try to complete those ones.

Obama knew what Pokémon were I believe, Trump...I don't think so. Trump wasn't born when video games were even a thing.

@RiasGremory So will we be able to play the Breath of the Wild sequel on the current Switch?

I just hope that the original Switch model and Switch Lite will have Breath of the Wild 2 be playable and not just on the future Switch 2.0. Cause I'm really content with my current model

Terry freezes in time

"Hey Sakurai, I don't feel so good"

Actually, when you missed the previous event's Spirits, when you get the next Spirit board event, the number of Spirit count should update if you get the new Spirit from a previous or upcoming event. For example, if the Link's Awakening and Peachette Spirits appear on the Collection list, and you get the last of the tetromino Spirits, then the number of Spirits should increase to the latest number.

I have managed to miss a bunch of Spirits that were released in the events up until the tetromino ones, which probably gives me the chance of collecting the 15-20 something Spirits that I missed in past events, which makes 100% the game somewhat easier.

The 3DS is stable enough to withstand a insert the biggest earthquake here

How many Relay Stations were there in Japan in total?

That's so cool

It's the end of Friday so this was all a blatant rumor. Maybe next week.
