People not wanting Smash Bros in General Direct apparently don't understand how marketing works. It's one of their biggest game for this year and asking them to not market the game sounds incredibly petty or stupid.

I'm not interested in their marketing, this take us too many minutes for something that could be used for more announcements.
We're not asking to not market the game, we just want something more than just one game.

Lightning is the symbol of the anti-gamer. I stan so hard. One of the first female characters universally hated by panini pressed men. I cannot NOT love.

Well yeah, we may see Pokémon in this Direct :) Whether it's new or not, who knows
Joe. What do you think about that 4chan leak that predicted a presentation in September 6th and there would be a Let's Go Trailer with new motion control supermoves? Sounds too real to me, so I wonder if they'll just show the same trailer again or have something new like the rumored whale.

I don't think you understand how they decide to include stuff in the Direct.

Including Smash doesn't automatically mean it took the place of some other game.

If Smash wasn't in the Direct there wouldn't magically be more shit you DO want. You're basically hoping Nintendo puts less stuff in the Direct, just cause.
You're right, of course: if they did less smash then they would have a shorter direct. However, that's not quite what (most) people are hoping: they are hoping that Nintendo is able to fill 35 minutes with announcement without having a significant chunk of that be Smash. i.e., they hope is that there are so many announcements that they have to do 35 minutes despite keeping Smash to a minimum. I hope you agree with me that it's not quite the same as hoping for a shorter direct.

There had been rumblings of using the JoyCons to activate powerful moves for a while.
September 6th was a logical timing based on the modal average day of a Direct, with the knowledge that Pokénchi was to reveal things.

Don't stick your hopes into that rumour

If you're gonna announce more FF might as well just spit on my face already and get it over with.

Oh god, it's FF XIII time in here ... i'd rather have a FF 1 "remake" in the vein of the XV Pocket Edition than anything XIII again. Oh and Lightning sucks, especially when you have with Fang a much cooler girl in the game. It's the Vaan and Basch/Balthier from XII situation again, but with heroines this time.

So wait, is this FFXIII stuff a joke? I'd be strangely into that actually happening as I never beat the game on Xbox.

What we really need is a Dragon Quest collection though. Gimme 1-9 in one or more packages for Switch and I'll throw my money at the screen.

Quick unrelated question if I may, do you work 100% on the site as a job and live off of it? I always wondered would I be able to do that with my own website but it's a scary thought.

Hm, fine. I don't usually believe any rumour. Just seemed too specific, but I had no idea about the joycon thing being speculated already!
