I prefer comics to watching TV, so I gravitate towards manga.

This is really bad because physical volumes of Vinland Saga cost $30 CAD whereas I could get the same experience with a subscription service.

But without sales, publishers have a harder time justifying acquiring the licenses and the cost to translate/localize. As I recall, Vinland Saga ran the risk of its English release getting cancelled due to flagging sales for a while.

There wouldn't really be that much salt. The main reason people were so apprehensive about Steve in the past was the notion that he and Banjo & Kazooie were in competition for being the "Microsoft rep" this Fighters Pass. But now that the latter is in, it's not really that big of a deal anymore.

I guess it'd get under the skin of Halo/Master Chief fans.
Oh no, there would still be plenty of salt. People still don't like the idea of Steve being in Smash

Oh well.

The only responsibility the customer has is to find the best deal for themselves. Vinland Saga is legit my favourite manga but if it got cancelled that just means an old market can't provide for it.

How long until a stressed-out Nintendo fan sets an amiibo on fire in the name of a Direct?

What a really unsubtle request.

Also Baby Face cares not for accuracy. It only cares to Baby all Faces.
Well, since you went through the effort of doing this, i'm obligated to swap to it when I get home in a few hours. didn't even get to wear this current avatar for a week :(

If you make me a Master Chief one, I'll wear it until Master Chief gets announced (as soon as I can take off the Geoff avatar of course).

No believable rumors related to Smash.

The Direct is probably this week or next week.
Thx. How do we know the direct is this week or next week if there are no rumors though?

Latest believable rumours: nintendo is making a Dreamcast 2 and it launches with an M rated sonic Game where he says "f**k"!!!!!!!!!

direct is next year
We already knew about the Dreamcast 2 and Sonic saying fuck though. So nothing new except the date of the direct. I hope it's January 2021 then, and not February 2021. 12 months is enough, don't wanna wait 13 months.

Well, I said there aren't any rumors relating to Smash, not that there aren't any rumors relating to a Direct.

We've got Pikmin 3 and 3D World ports coming this year, and Era's Nintendo insider trio (Emily, Nate and Zell) are all on Team January in the Direct thread. It's happening.

The trick is that most characters are elegible at this point, so you can just name whoever you want:

We're getting Yumetaro, Susie and/or Chibi-Robo; it is written.

Name 3 potential future fighters you think could be revealed in the next direct
Ryu Hayabusa
Geno
Master Chief

Ryu Hayabusa as a potential fighter 5, the other two as potential fighters for #6.

I really do think it's possible that we'll get #6 revealed this direct in addition to #5. At the very least I hope they outline how post-pass characters will work.
