So yeah, count me in for Team February now.
I'm fine with that. Smash and Pokemon can hold me over for now.

They're waiting on the new Bayo 3 trailer to be done and couldn't delay Smash.
Yes.
I wish whole twitter would rage. This is a huge insult to non Smash and PKMN fans !!!
Urgh I'm still super pissed.... Wasn't that angry at Nintendo for a long, long time...
It'll be focused on Pocket Camp so they can piss everyone off.
There's no rules for game specific directs. They can happen anytime of the month so it's very possible we get a AC direct next week.
Stop.
Get away from the forum.
Do something else, even playing videogames.
Your attachment towards what can be considered an advertising event such as a Direct isn't healthy.
What? Calm down - you'll get your glorified commercials eventually. Don't get angry over things like this.
First a Pokemon Direct. Then a smash one, an AC one and then a general direct. That's how it's going to be! ... Right?
Half of that was fake, other half not so much :P
I think I really do need a break...
Bruh get over it. It's just some commercials for games.
Looking a the previous posts...I'm afraid it's not.
I'm happy for this smash direct but worried that the pizza hint could mean the new fighter is dante from the Devil May Cry series
Directs don't air late in the month. This kills the chance of there being a January direct.
What pizza hint? I didn't catch where the whole pizza thing started.
Pretty interesting that we've now had an Indies event, a Pokemon Direct and now a Smash Direct in the space of a month. Directs have been packed in recent years because Nintendo actually have the combination of a steady supply of first party content, good third party support and significant indie support. Though, thinking about it, hasn't it been the case in recent years that while there are fewer general Directs, there are more franchise specific and indie Directs?
Either way this clears two big first party announcements out the way - the new expansion model for Pokemon plus the final part of the very popular Fighter Pass for Smash. I'd expect Sakurai to detail how future DLC will work (there's no sign we're getting a second Fighter's Pass yet, it might be sold as individual Fighter Packs from now on for example).
Also, for people complaining about Smash receiving more attention: it is the single best-selling fighting game of all time and more DLC is planned. It ain't going away for another 12 months.

At this point i expected Animal Crossing Direct we we are getting Smash "Direct", lol Nintendo just playing with us.
Has Nintendo ever done this before? Directs like this, week after week? Nintendo seems to be up to something, honestly. This doesn't kill the chance of a direct this month - we might get specific game directs before the major one.
User Warned: Antagonizing Community Generlization
Smash, Pokemon, and their fans are the absolute worst.
please just give us a general direct.
please just give us a general direct.
People think Smash/Sakurai stole the General Direct slot lmao. It's ridiculous.
Right, I see this as more of a positive thing. Maybe the negative is that we have to wait a bit longer, but I see this as them having a lot more up their sleeve
I still have hopes for Team January, and please don't start with that "Nintendo is not doing Direct in second half of the month".
