All Nintendo needs to do to build anticipation for Smash is give a release date!

But that said, given how much we know about Smash, I have to wonder why it's getting its own direct now. After all, the w101 direct was the month before its release.

I reckon we'll be playing this a lot sooner than we were perhaps expecting. Maybe a July release OR, my crazy prediction for this Direct; a beta.

We've all seen what the TitanFall beta bid for the X1, imagine what a beta for an actually good game could do for the Wii U (I jest, but seriously...)

Doesn't need to be big, in fact; what I'd love to see in a beta would be to take the game back to N64 scope:

Give us just the original 8/12 characters and half a dozen stages, local mp (plus bots) and online to test out and we'll be golden.
