Nintendo Direct Tomorrow
A brand new Nintendo Direct will air November 12th at 2PM Pacific Time. This is the first Nintendo Direct since Mr. Iwata's passing and should contain updates for this holiday season, and perhaps some stuff for 1st Quarter 2016. The presentation was explicitly NOT going to cover the Nintendo NX. What else? Who knows!
If they're going to announce the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot winners soon, this might be the time. I also expect them to talk about upcoming Amiibo announcements. After all, Mewtwo and Falco are coming in the next few days. I think they might also talk more about Star Fox Zero, specifically why it was delayed, and provide us with the new release date.
Official Stream - Check back tomorrow at 2PM PT

Aw… Such a shame I won’t be able to watch the stream tomorrow… Stupid school… :(
It’s funny on how social media’s been bloated with requests for deconfirmed characters like Freddy Fazbear, Geno, Ridley, King K. Rool, Waluigi, Shrek, etc. Better yet they act like ALL of the ballot winners are for sure to appear tomorrow.
And here I am, just sitting here waiting for some Pokken news now. I think I’m done with the ballot. Regardless of what happens and when, it’s just video games.
cool i able to watch it because all Quebec schools got a strike tomorrow and next day so cool!
@earth being
That’s not exactly true.
Waluigi – explicitly deconfirmed (assist trophies apparently mean “can never be playable” according to Nintendo)
Geno – implicitly deconfirmed (Sakurai stated that he “will delay the release date 1 day for every request for Geno” and “Nintendo doesn’t own the character”)
King K. Rool – not deconfirmed (but exists in the game in a non-playable way)
Ridley – not deconfirmed (but exists in the game in a non-playable way)
Shrek – not deconfirmed as far as I can tell, but they do think it’s funny people are voting for him
Freddy Fazbear – not deconfirmed as far as I can tell
These characters (with the exception of Waluigi) are anything from unlikely to ridiculous, but they are not “deconfirmed” until Nintendo either explicitly states they will not be in the game, or Nintendo announces the end of new DLC character additions.
Not saying I’m rooting for any of them in particular, but words mean things. We should use them correctly.
@Mr. Krystal
Okay, let’s see…
Freddy Fazbear: Scott Cawthon stated he loathes the idea of paid DLC and for the time being, doesn’t want his characters outside of PC and mobile gaming. (What would his moveset be anyhow? Jumpscares alone don’t fit.)
King K. Rool: There’s some controversy as to weather or not mii costumes deconfirm a character or not, but outside of that there’s some evidence. Retro Studios stated they don’t think King K. Rool fits in their interpretation of Donkey Kong Country, so that mii costume might be the closest we get for him.
Ridley: On many different occasions, Sakurai HIMSELF personally thinks Ridley’s character would have to change drastically if he ever became playable. In size and behavior.
Shrek: 4th party. Out of gaming origins and therefore out of mind.
And while I’m at it…
Daisy: Miyamoto stated she doesn’t make any appearances outside of Mario spinoff titles because she and Wario were originally just Mario land exclusives. But Miyamoto grew on Wario and excused him for it. And most people say she could use purely Mario spinoff equipment for a moveset. With that logic so can Toadette and all other Mario spinoff characters so…
Maybe some of these characters aren’t deconfirmed by officials, but there are tell-tell signs that may point to it. I could be wrong, but I could also be right.
@earth being
That’s all I was saying. Deconfirmed is different from unlikely.
Ok, from what I saw on your comments, Waluigi is not getting in by being assist trophy again.
Ridley is not getting in, since he’s a stage boss.
K Rool, his standings is in the middle due to having a costume.
as for the more ridiculous ones (Shrek, Goku, Freddy, etc outside of Nintendo and originating in games) are more then VERY UNLIKELY! STOP VOTING FOR WHOEVER YOU WANT! THIS IS FOR VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS, NOT ANYONE!
@Mr. Krystal
I’ve been waiting a long time for this, all we have to do now is wait and see what today brings. Thumbs up and waiting.
By the way Mr. Krystal just say things don’t work out with the ballot, will they do it again or is this a one time thing?
Excited for this Direct mostly because it’s been so long since the last one. Not expecting too much from this. I guess it will mostly be showing off footage of games coming early next year. Maybe a few games announced but I doubt it will be anything major.
As for Smash characters I think the new character being announced will most likely be a female one. My reasoning for this is actually to do with Nintendo EU’s current announcements relating to Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique. Mostly female Amiibo support and hints of more Amiibo support at end of recent trailer does hint towards a new female character Amiibo. Chances are this will also be a Smash Bros character.
With the Smash Ballot it’s obvious the results will be modified. Not going to show us results of characters that never had a chance to begin with. Also if Nintendo are smart they will have “regional” winners rather than one overall ballot winner. A lot of the top characters will be much loved and really wanted to be in Smash. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo already planned a few of the more popular ones to be added to the game already. Some of the supposedly top ballot characters were added during the ballot itself.
Hmm, so far they’ve put out Mewtwo and Roy, and Dr. Mario was in the original game…
…It’s going to be Pichu, isn’t it?
Or Wolf, maybe.
My fingers are crossed for krystal. if we’re going over our top three:
Krystal(starfox adventures)
Zebisian(super metroid)
lilac(Freedom planet)
@Mr Krystal
i was saying one day of a nintendo charcter like Krystal
in smash will be a dream for her.
others for outsides nintendo characters STOP!!! cmon it is a nintendo,starfox and Krystal news for the nintendo direct 2pm.
Just do it for KRYSTAL!
@LucasJG1994
I believe a while back they said that the next round of DLC characters is likely to be the last of them because “we can’t keep adding characters forever.” I honestly think the hype and fan begging has gotten a little out of hand. On the one hand, it would be nice if all the characters people liked got into Smash Brothers. On the other, it’s much more important that we have a balanced and fun game, and fun-ness is not determined by which characters are included. Mr. Game & Watch is a fun character to play, and I don’t think anyone would have realistically suggested him prior to his inclusion.
If Krystal doesn’t end up being in Smash Bros. there undoubtedly will be other methods of bringing her in like they did with Brawl, just saying. But she almost made it into Brawl, as Sakurai stated it was too far in development to bring her in, so there’s still hope.
@Mr. Krystal
That’s very true, thanks for the insight. :)
i dont have thecharger for my gamepad dang it!i wish i will be still here?
