@Light I sure am! As soon as I got it, I played it for so long that it was about 1 AM when I finished for the day.

That looks really nice. I don't really have a thing for collecting figurines, but that looks like one I'd love to have.

@BurningSonic Ah, same here.
But on the flip-side: SMAAAASH! Strangely, I wasn't very excited yesterday. Today, I'm so excited that I don't even mind going to school today. I'm really feeling it!

Smash is all I need for another couple of months! Yumi's Odd Odyssey? Perhaps I'll try to buy it before the discount period ends.

How interesting — I was just thinking about this game in class today. I'm very pleased to hear it was profitable! It is overall one of my favorite games, and it even introduced me to a pretty awesome composer (Cœur de pirate). I would certainly love a sequel of sorts.
P.S: I still would have loved to have Valiant Hearts on the Wii U.

That's interesting. Just for the "content creators that produce the most popular videos", though? Bummer, I guess.
I'm still waiting to see what they'll do about the whole YouTube thing. I have fun uploading Nintendo stuff, so I'd like to see what they come up with.

W-What?! That's it! I'm canceling my Smash Wii U pre-order!

Interesting. I'll just watch and see how things unfold.

Ah, the one that created my favorite childhood plumber.
Happy Birthday Mr. Miyamoto! Let there be many pleasant days of yours to come.

I saw it this morning, and it was nice to see. I later see everyone talking about how it's probably fake, and now I'm skeptical.
I'm just going to lurk around and watch what people say about this for a while. If I can just lurk around Smashboards and Reddit for a little while longer. . .

"So although we’ve been working on the game for quite some time, we didn't want to say it was being developed until we were at a point where we could proudly say that this is not going to be just another remake and that it's going to be worth your time."
That's great to hear. When I bought OoT 3D and finished it, I left feeling that a bit more could have been done with it, somehow. Now that I actually have to take better care of how I use money, I was indecisive a while ago about whether I should get this or not. For now, I'll just continue waiting to see what new features they show off.

Nice. A link would be nice, too. I'm sure plenty of people have figured as such, though. There's quite a bit to say revolving around the whole "video games cause violence" topic. All in all, I've been tired of 'em focusing on something so insignificant compared to bigger problems.
@Prime "tekken triple tournament 10"
Is it really that hard to figure out that he's kidding?

Wha?! Wow, that's nuts! Hopefully it gets fixed soon. I think I'll be fine, since I haven't gotten a ban or anything yet. I've had to try a bit hard sometimes to not quit matches with a ton of lag, though. I mean, you get infractions if you SD on purpose, exit the match, or not move at all, right?
@RedKnightXIII Little Mac's fine. I don't think he needs to be nerfed or anything. He's the best on flat stages, and unfortunately there aren't any platform stages in For Glory (which would have been nice), so you'll have to pay close attention and find other ways to get him. Always fight near the ledge, or somethin'.

Awesome! Good to see he's in good health again. Ya can't have a true Nintendo Direct without 'em.

That's great news! I'm pretty interested in seeing the impact Smash Wii U will have.

It'd certainly be nice to see how it goes. If not 4v4, then 3v3 would be nice, at least. I can imagine it being pretty difficult to keep up with, thou-
Wait, KTAR's having a 4v4?! Have I been living under a rock?

Fantastic. A time where a good physical reward comes in, isn't out of stock yet, but I don't have that many coins.
It's nice to see there's something new regardless. 700 is beyond steep for me, but that's fine, I guess.

I'm waiting for the day I get the game to see it. I've spoiled myself quite enough!
I'm hearing it's just full of recycled clips and gameplay. Honestly, with all of the work and effort they already put in (especially with character trailers), I don't mind. I don't think I'd call it "lazy".

Neat! I'd really like to see them.

I'm mostly excited for 8-Player Smash, the music options, and just about everything about the online modes. Words seriously can't describe how much I can't wait for the Wii U version! I really can't.
Heck, I've even been thinking on skipping out on a demo if they give one. That way, I keep my hype meter to its maximum and I can take joy in being awed when I finally slide that disc in.

D-Does this mean I won't be forever alone?!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

"Ichi, ni, san!"

This was pretty funny. I never thought I'd be so afraid of Luma.

The Samus one shall be mine!

@ModernMARVEL Yes! Even better! I'm gonna have so much fun when I can get some friends together. Thanks!

@Iggly Same here. This Direct is too much for my simple mind to comprehend.
It's really awesome that Mewtwo fans got what they really wanted. It's good to see that a lot of people are satisfied. I honestly can't get into Pokemon for the life of me, but I think I can look forward to Mewtwo.
In addition, I hope this may pave way for future characters to arrive. They have as much time as they can to work on 'em, too! Personally, I'm fully satisfied with the game's content already (that we know of), but I welcome anything that'll extend the game's life — not that I won't always play it to begin with!
On a side note, I wonder if Smashboards crashed at this announcement.

@Jazzer94 sniff It's everything I ever dreamed of...
Jokes aside, this is really great news! I was seriously hoping that they'd do this so I wouldn't have to add friend codes for whoever I wanted to battle. Plus, I'm super excited about being able to play with the NL community again and NOT get my butt handed to me in Mario Kart.
This is the feature I've looked forward to the most, and I got it. Thank you so much, Nintendo!

I jumped for joy when I saw the DKCR stage and its mechanics. I was slightly worried that they wouldn't have used one. I hope they add music from Tropical Freeze, too! The game has some of the best soundtracks you'll ever hear.
On the main topic, those larger stages look like fun! Big Battlefield looks kinda fun to use out of 8 Player Smash, so I hope that's an option.

I am very excited for all of these! Master Fortress seems like another reason for me to take risks with 9.0 intensity, now that I don't have any circle pads to smash.

I'm not much of a voice chat person, but it's really great that they've added this feature. I did use voice chat a couple of times for Mario Kart 8 with friends, so I just might use it here.

6, 7, and 8 players?! This is great! I mean, REALLY great news! I'm planning a Smash party for friends the day after the game releases, so with how many controller options we have, no one has to wait anymore! If we can still do Team Battles with 8 Player Smash, that'd be even better!

Eh, this isn't much of a change for me, since I rarely check the activity feed in the first place. Whenever I do, it's usually for people with awesome drawings that post. Can't miss those!

@Cooligan They're pretty terrifying without the costumes. I wouldn't even let them near my imaginary friend.

I feel that they'd do a bit more for the online play for the Wii U version (I hope). I'd rather not have voice chat for anonymous play, but playing with friends definitely should be an option for those who do. Personally, I don't care very much for voice chat.
I was also hoping that they'd do something like Mario Kart 8 communities, tournaments, and whatnot so you don't have to add people as friends just to play with them.
I agree with Lewis. I control things pretty normally most of the time, but I should be taking better care to not go overboard and mash the circle pad so much.

I'll think about getting one if they do come to the West.

Etrian Odyssey Untold for $15?! A-And Soul Hackers and Devil Survivor, too?!
Deciding to save money was a horrible idea!

Oh, gee. What d'ya know? There's school on Thursday!
Oh, gee! Would you look at that? I had a dream that I'd be sick that day. I wonder if this means anything!
Seriously, though. It sucks that every single time there's some sort of live broadcast, it's either during school or a really inconvenient time. Usually it's hard for me to reach the finished video without coming across a quick glance of spoilers, either. I wonder if this has anything to do with my constant bad luck.

Cooleo! I'll probably get Nightmare in Dreamland, since I haven't played that one before. I might get Demon's Crest too.

Great article! Video game music has always been an important thing to me. It's the only reason why I picked up the piano in the 7th grade. I spent a lot of time looking up Synthesia YouTube videos, and once I could play "Dire, Dire Docks" and a simplified "Frozen Hillside", my interest in playing other VGM on other instruments skyrocketed from there! I wouldn't call myself much of a composer right now, but now I tend to work on VGM renditions and even make my own stuff once in a while.
You know, I have hopes that VGM can someday become more accepted. I sort of try to spread that kind of fondness when I play at talent shows and stuff. It makes me happy when someone gets super surprised when I tell them the music came from a video game.
I probably haven't noticed much of Pulkkinen's work yet, so I'll probably listen later. I can't say I agree too much with his statements concerning the whole "hit-tracks = new audiences" thing, but I'd love to be able to buy soundtracks freely someday!

Ah, I can already see it now...
"We decided that we are going back on 3DS exclusivity and porting these new iterations to the PlayStation Portable to maximize availability. Additionally, the 3DS versions will not receive the long awaited Scuba Diving and Battleship DLCs, so we are very sorry. Please know that we will work as hard as we can to make the 3DS versions the best ones!"
@sillygostly 11/10. Will remember forever.

@JaxonH Haha, yeah! It's overwhelming.

@JaxonH Whoops! Perhaps I should have been more specific. Sorry.
I meant the Wii U version. Believe me, that game comes before anything else — I've waited too long for it! I meant to say that the Wii U version shouldn't be the last game I buy this year, as I didn't plan on buying anything else because of so much money spending. Captain Toad is just capturing my interests more than before. ^^

@BensonUii Agreed! Gosh, I really want this game. Maybe Super Smash Bros. shouldn't be the last game I buy this year. ^^

Ah, it would have been great to compete in the closest one near me. Gah, curse those "first come, first serve" rules!
I swear, I'll be there plenty of hours earlier if they do one for the Wii U version. I think I could have at least survived a good while before I lose.

gasp Gimme! Come to NA! I will buy the entire SNES trilogy!
P-Please! Just hearing this news is pretty exciting!

Ah, great. Nothing again. I really wish they'd put some new physical rewards or something. I can't even remember the last time I used my coins.

Great, a demo for Bayonetta 2! All of this time, I have been between buying it and not buying it. The demo should be the final verdict on whether I'm interested or not.

Oh, uh...c-cool! I, uh, always wanted a GameCube controller replacement!
I-I mean, I always have that GC adapter for my Virtual Console that almost never works...

Awesome-sauce! After all of those things we saw that hinted towards its release on the 21st, I would have been surprised if it wasn't. I even marked my calender long ago.
It sucks that the rest are getting it on Dec. 5th, though. I don't think I can survive that long.

YES! Thank you! Just what I was hoping for!
