Charizard: "Still not a dragon" Luigi: "Green 'stache" (Thats what Bowser calls him) Gandondorf: Sandbag-Man Mr. Game & Watch: *Beep* *Beep*

As hyped as I am to watch the Direct, I'm going to wait until my brothers visit me tomorrow and THEN we'll watch the footage together!!! After all, this WILL be too big of a Nintendo Direct to watch all by myself!!!

That is so unbelievably sick!!!!!!

.............................................. *whispers* So uhhhhh... Fingers crossed for Mewtwo?

This is awesome!! A really nice touch!

thanks to this, this alone should be the stage of choice for competitive play! there is so many nicknames for the characters to choose from, like for megaman: super fighting robot or blue bomber.

@Brinton: That's a good idea, just avoid the internet until then.

raaaather interesting. i use my gamepad to play my games on it though, no need for a tv unless a game requires a tv in order to play it.

I like my own alias on there!

I hope they announce a demo for this version after the event.

I can already see, if Megaman gets "Super Fighting Robot", Prog will be saying that everytime Megaman is used in a tournament. "IT'S MEGAMAN, WEIGHING IN AT UNKNOWN POUNDS, THE SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT!!! FIGHTING, TO SAVE THE WORLD."

Ike: Hero of the blue Flames Marth: The Heroking Lucina: The useless clone

Sakurai, Sakurai, Sakurai !

This is probably a ridiculous reach but I find it curious that these are both series that have been strongly connected to Retro Studios over the past 2 generations...Retro did post about "Loving Halloween"...

Boo this feature didn't appears in the 3DS version.

Come onnnn, Golden Sun rep!!

@lllllllllx No

Link. Hero of Hyrule. Zelda. Princess of Hyrule. Sheik. Ninja of Hyrule. Ganondorf. Villain of Hyrule. Toon Link. Toon Hero of Hyrule. Samus. Bounty Hunter Extraordinaire. Zero Suit Samus. Bounty Hunter without the Suit. Pit. Head of the Guard Angels. Palutena. Goddess of Light. Marth. Hero King.

Little Mac. Champion Boxer. Fox. Hero of the Lylat System. Falco. One who prefers the air. Pikachu. Electric Mouse.

That is a nice touch.

Nintendo direct hype! I can barely wait so I can finally play with a controller instead of the 3DS.

That's a nice touch. Now we're going to have to play each character on the stage just to see their nicknames and aliases.

This day is gonna be big

Captain Falcon. Villager. The harvester. Olimar. Spaceman. Wii Fit Trainer. The fit one. Dr. Mario. Doctorman. Dark Pit. The Dark side of Pit. Lucina. Hero Queen.

@Patrick: Is that your Final Answer?

This looks great! It seems this stage as changed since the E3 Demo.

Shulk. Hero of the Bionis. Pac-Man. Eater. Mega Man. THE SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT!!!! Sonic. The fastest thing alive. Mii. It's Mii!

So it only works in one-on-one matches? Still, it is a nice touch though, also, I'm looking forward to the direct later today. Can't wait to see what they reveal.

Fancy.

Detail... Attention to detail... 50 facts in detail... SO MUCH DETAIL! :D Sakurai is such an amazing Director/Developer!

Sakurai You When You Posted The Rule Screen You Some Of The Stages Wheren't Even Comfrimed!!!

Finally can't wait to see Ridley being a boss character i'm going to enjoy every second of it happening specially reactions :)

So freaking excited!!

An extravaganza being quite a sight to behold… *,* Looking forward to an amazing direct. ^_^

hopefully theres an online tourney mode

Can't wait for the direct tonight. I'm hoping they announce some things missing from the 3DS version: www.tcblog.co.uk/wii-u-wishlist

Mii: Original Character DO NOT STEAL. Unless the Miis name is Mewtwo, Ridley, K. Rool, Dixie, Isaac or Chrom in which case the caption will be: "Sakurai: Laughs"

Ooooh.....I like that.

That looks cool! How do you make that pop up? I wonder what titles all the other characters have.

awesome! Im so desesperated for the Nintendo direct!!!

That looks pretty cool. The direct sounds pretty good as well, Can't wait!

We still haven't found out the Smash Run equivalent in the Wii U Version.

I bet they'll announce a Wii U demo

Don't use all your secrets, there will be nothing new to show for tonight !!!!

Pikachu most well known anime character

Villager's alias is "Destroyer of worlds"

I can imagine what Peach's & Ness's calling, Peach: "Princess of the Princesses" Ness: "Psychic Expert". But I know there are other good ones out there

I'm so hype for the direct!!!!

let's start a chant guys :D DLC! DLC! DLC! DLC! DLC!

*waiting for Smash Bros direct*

I want the direct to showcase a "Clash of the Bosses" mode. This mode should make you able to play as bosses against other bosses.

tell us that you will add japanese voices, more time in smash run and remove the 1min limit in the events of smash run

My predictions for the nintendo direct: Smash world, a board game mode where the battles have special settings and rules. master orders and crazy orders, a mode where master/crazy hand issue special challenges. Picture replay and custom mii sharing thru miiverse.

An ape vs the intergalactic bounty hunter who destroys whole planets and races out of existence. I wonder who would win...

Jigglypuff: the worst of all Pokemon!

Mario: Jumpman, Luigi: Second Banana, Peach: Princess Toadstool, Bowser: Koopa King, Link: Hero of Time/Legend, Zelda: Princess of Hyrule, Ganondorf: Demon King, Kirby: King of Pop, Metaknight: OP Knight, Wario: Master of Disguise, Pikachu: Thunderbolt Mouse, Jigglypuff: Female Kirby, Mewtwo: Forsaken Pokemon, Dr. Mario: Melee Survivor, Dark Pit: Sakurai's Cruelty, Ridley: Meme Generator.

yes

THIS IS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not about wether or not you post on a PotD.. It's about liking the game and so-- Bowser will definitely be The Koopa King and Link could be Hyrule's Legendary Hero?

Megaman: super fighting robot.

I Wonder what reveal trailer they will show this time.

Get HYPE!!!

That's awesome,I'm guessing their the real stats. I'm looking forward to watching this direct.

ROB: Famous NES accessory. Duck Hunt: Famous zapper game. Mr. Game And Watch: First Nintendo character.

View the partial eclipse or watch the Smash U direct... The choice is easy!

Yay.^^

To think that such a genius like you gets all this spam...how can you take it, Sakurai? I know I'd be a little intimidated...but I also know that you're above all this. I congratulate you on all the hard work you've done so far. You have a fan in me, Sakurai...:)

Yeah is cool :)

If I'm reading that display right, Donkey Kong and Samus are apparently fighting a 63-minute long match. What the heck?

I want smash!

8 players mode!

IF Sakurai really have some newcomer in his backhand we don't know about yet, then it should be easy for him to top the previous Smash-Direct.

i wonder what the Mii title descriptions are.

I really hope King Dedede's will be this: Self-proclaimed King of Dream Land

Shulk: in touch with his feelings. Ike: For friend fighting, no sympathy giving, Counter'er. Mii Fighter: *insert meme here*. Fox: Final Destination, 1 stock. Bigley: "hissssss"

This is brilliant

Darn it, Sakurai/Nintendo, I wish you had a countdown timer before the Direct starts! I live in Western Australia and as far as I know, I have no idea how many hours I am ahead or behind Sydney! And learning the time zones is so confusing! >~<;

Sonic: Fastest Thing Alive.

WHOA! That's awesome! Pac-Man: Arcade Giant

Great Work!! I'm sure the WiiU version will be the best SSB ever!
