Gah, i'm going to miss this because of a luncheon tomorrow

(granted, i get paid to go to the luncheon, so it's a pretty sweet deal. Just not tomorrow! I'll miss a chance to talk to that girl, too...)

You say that as if we already who "that girl" is!

The one referred to in my attention-whoring thread over in General Discussion. I mention it only because i was cheated of a chance to speak to her today when our only class together was cancelled for the day.

Seriously though, i'll have to catch the direct afterwards. Seems like we've got a Duck Hunt intro video in the pipe.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

You, an attention whore? You must link me to this unbelievable thread! Also hope things go well for ya whenever you do get to talk with her!

And yeah I hope to see a video for Bowser Jr. aswell!

Off topic but I would enjoy a show on Khan's journey in finding a girlfriend. I even came up with a title, "How I met My Girlfriend." And I even got the character down too! Nikkom would be Barney archetype and Trashleg would be Robin. We just need a Lily and Marshall. Perhaps a real life couple in VGchartz as well? Lol i may have put too much thought on this.

The only difference would be that trashleg isn't Khan's girlfriend at the end.

I think you know what to do after that date.

As long as he talks a bit about some of the new game modes and confirms there's a stage editor, I'm going to be satisfied.

I can confirm that there will be a stage editor. 

Mostly because if there wasn't, Nintendo would just be plain stupid. 



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

So in today's pic of day (whch is cool) Sakurai also calls the direct "50 Must-See Things" as well. Looks like I may have been to pessimistic? His definition of Must-see may be different to our opinion but its sounds better than presenting 50 new facts.

Here's Oct 23rd Pic of Day below:

Pic of day: The giant screen in the Boxing Ring stage for Wii U reenacts the multiscreen effect seen in the arcade version of Punch-Out!! Looks like their aliases are displayed on the screen too. By the way, today, October 23rd at 3 PM PST (October 23rd 11 PM UK time, October 24th 9 AM Sydney Time, we are streaming "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza" (“Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50 Must-See Things”).

You can watch the stream from the links below when it starts. For Americas: http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/10-23-2014/

For Europe: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html For Oceania: http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendodirect



So, what's the verdict here? There were some duds (like 'the game has a higher resolution than the 3DS version'), but they also detailed more than 50 'facts.'



I think the resolution fact was that it was 1080p, rather than 'better than the 3ds'...

But I enjoyed it. I thought the presentation was good, and whilst the stuff about challenges, and all-star mode, or that it had a shit-ton of composers working on it weren't particularly exciting, it does seem pretty damn clear that this is the definitive Smash Bros.

Just as Mario Kart 8 feels like the definitive Mario Kart. I'm liking how much polish Ninty are putting into these flagship games; imagine what Zelda is going to look like...

Even then, we pretty much already knew that.
