Forums - Nintendo - How subjective are "new facts" in the Smash bros 50 New Facts Direct this Thursday? Update: Direct also called "50 Must-see Things"

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.

I don't think it's accurate to say that we <i>knew</i> that. We were hoping for it, and assumed it was because of the screenshots, but a lot of people made the same assumption with MK8. So it's still good to have it confirmed.

At E3 2013, Eurogamer said Nintendo confirmed the game is 1080p. Eurogamer also said Mario Kart 8 was 1080p, but we didn't know the truth of that until long after E3 2013. And anyway, the Mario Kart 8 thing was always sketchy. Eurogamer just dropped it into one of their articles like it was no big deal, then in a later article used as a source a seperate site which was using their earlier article as a source. It's a complete mess, an absolute failure of basic journalism.

I've felt that the writing was on the wall for Smash to be 1080p for a long time. I didn't doubt it. And I never believed that Mario Kart was 1080.

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.'

Conisdering I only wanted to see everything leaked from Amazon in more detail, 8 player mode, Great Cave offensive, and the game having everything Brawl had like item frequencies, tourneys, event match (except Subspace but it was confirmed earlh to be missing), I couldn't care less about the obvious information presented.

No way in hell am i buying smash 3DS and Wii U for Mewtwo though. Bring on the dlc (if its prices like Mario Kart 8 at least)!
