Sonic has the excuse of SEGA probably wanting him to get his own trailer as part of the contract.

Weegee, though... I got nothing. I guess I can excuse that as him being one of the earlier characters announced? Hmm...

I think Luigi got revealed in a Direct because his year was coming to a close.

Probably.

I mean, the direct just happened to be on the date of a release of a Super Mario Bros. VC game too that he was playable in. The Direct implied his reveal was specifically based upon Dream Team, as the website even changed it to that too.

More or less, while Diddy is somewhat expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be surprising if he actually isn't revealed tomorrow at all. There's pretty much no rule for it.

Sonic is excused for getting a trailer because Sonic. Snake will likely get the same if he returns. Luigi seemed to be because they wanted something for Smash in the Direct.

I think they wanted to give Luigi a special reveal due to it being the Year of Luigi...if not for that, I imagine he wouldn't have been revealed until much later on.

Sakurai just tweeted about the Direct. Probably safe to assume he has something up his sleeve.

Well, a character reveal seems probable, then. I am expecting Diddy(solo, I'm guessing), mind you, but who knows.

We're pretty sure he's coming back, so a new DK character would be even better.

This is interesting.

Thankfully the snow has cancelled classes tomorrow for me, so I'll be around to watch.

[up][up]I'm hoping we getting Diddy announced.

I do hope for Diddy and Dixie together.

I'd personally rather keep them separate, I think Diddy is perfectly fine on his own. Dixie would be a neat character, though. If we can't have K. Rool, I'd gladly take her as a third DK rep.

It's gonna be Cranky Kong. Mark my words. I am 100% certain on this.

I would be rather surprised by him getting in, but I would not complain at all.

As long as his down-aerial can be used to pogo-bounce across the ground, rather than cancelling when you hit the floor like most attacks.

Hmm...like I've said before, this month is the 30th anniversary of Punch Out...

True, we haven't had a reveal tied in to an anniversary since Peach, but still...

Pic of the day. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day...and the day the new Nintendo Direct airs! It will stream in Japan at 7 AM so it's going to be a very early morning for us...!

Gearing up for Smash info tomorrow? waii

Today's pic mentions the direct, just like the one before Rosalina's reveal.

Since this is also the release of DK, I kinda wonder if we are indeed getting a reveal of a new DK character.

So, uh, is that rainbow a thing Peach can do, or is it a pose cleverly timed with something else's rainbow?

I'm worried now. If he's waiting until the Nintendo Direct, that means it's a major update. Tropical Freeze is coming out in Japan around this time, which means it's more plausible that we're getting a Diddy-Dixie tag team, which means it's more likely that that leak is legitimate.

#35546: Feb 12th 2014 at 11:48:41 PM

Eh. I honestly ignore any leak if it isn't from 4chan, the only time I've ever seen a legitimate one, and they've always had a real Yugioh OCG list without fail.

Until the whole game is shown or when it's released, and everything on that leak is true, I'm just going to take it with a giant grain of salt. Best way to do it, really.

[up][up]Yes, and so is K. Rool. I actually do want K. Rool in the game - it's always good to have some villain rep - but it'd upset me if his gimmick was "really really really really frigging strong" as the rumor claims and not, you know, something that wouldn't make him top-tier and broken as all hell. (The description of his Final Smash in particular is extremely suspect.) Considering reason B for my not liking it is Pac-Man, it's for pettier reasons too I suppose.

Rather than Diddy/Dixie, I expect a brand new character. Although, I guess a Diddy/Dixie tag-team is partly a new character.

I'm expecting someone like King K. Rool, Palutena, or Ridley.

I'm expecting either Snake or a complete newcomer to be, if not the only announcement, then the focus of the Smash portion of the Direct.

I sure said that!

Why do people seem to want Diddy/Dixie so much. Diddy was already a playable solo character, why take that from him?

So what are all the anniversaries that have happened lately that they didn't reveal anyone for?
