I know. I was referring to this as a nod to the appearance of Banjo.
A huge amount of lovingly crafted and curated content from Persona being added into Smash is *checks notes* an insult to Persona fans.
Banjo?
Erm, looking too much into it.
Don't remember Gruntilda having a cat or long hair. Seems like a generic thing.
Nah, it doesn't look anything like Grunty.Banjo?
It's clearly Elphaba and it will open the door for Smash Bros characters from the Broadway Extended Universe and the Smash Bros rearrangement of Defying Gravity that we all deserve and have been asking for for years.
It's just that 90% of your posts revolve around that topic.
And most of the time your arguments are really bad, and you dismiss sensible replies making you look like a troll.
Atlus is just fucking slow.
And apart from Sakura Wars I don't Sega how Sega has been bad on Switch.
Red eyes though?
Aren't all those pretty generic "witch" things?
For sure they're always hype. Atleast E3 is less than 2 months away. It's going to be great this year. Wayyy better than 2018's E3.
Doesn't matter, we talking about releasing DLC for Nintendo game, not DLC for some 3rd party game, so Nintendo decides when DLC will be released not Atlus.
It had but very rarely, and quarter results bring much more attention (general gaming attention) than investors meeting, quarter results are what bringing big hadlines in all gaming media (Switch sold 37m units, Zelda hit 13m units...) not what Nintendo answered on some investors meeting. and Nintendo on 25. April has quarter results, but in any case, thats Direct, we here talking about releasing DLC.
That's called a witch, yeah.
There's a reason the thread wondering about that got locked.
Everyone uses this thread for everything at this point tbh.
I dont see why Persona for Switch needs to be announced at concert, actually I could easily see being part of Nintendo E3 Direct.
It would make sense to announce it close to the Smash DLC releasing, so there's that. If it doesn't happen next week I'll really start to second guess myself about Persona 5 coming to Switch. They could announce it at E3 but now seems like the right time with all the momentum around Persona with the Smash DLC and the Persona concert. But we all know Atlus can drag shit out for months or years so who knows.
Well it doesn't have to be announced there, but it makes the most sense. You'd surely want to reveal it close to the smash DLC while interest with Joker and Persona is peaked, and the concert is a big event for Atlus announcing other games
So Joker took like 2 months between piranha plant release and his release
In 2 months we have E3
Do you guys think we will have the announcement and release of the next DLC character at E3 or they will announce it earlier?
And if they are going to announce it earlier than ... where? Just drop the trailer on youtube? Is there a big even coming? Bafta?

I predict an E3 reveal similar to the trailer we just got for a Joker, and an 'available now' or 'available tomorrow' just like how Joker was dropped for character 2
I guess we could get that Brave character and Banjo(I believe they're coming) announced at E3 with Brave releasing within the week.
And counting the game is likely 60h long, you won't nerd anything else to play this year (i don't have that much time to play )
Atlus usually announces things by itself - like Persona Q2, just to say a game release on a Nintendo platform.
I agree, but that also depends from when game could be released, also E3 is just less than two months away, around 1.5 month after Persona concert.
Well Persona 5 for Switch news would definitely be much bigger news than Persona Q2 in any case, so maybe Nintendo and Atlus make agreement to announced it on E3. I mean we dont know, all options are on table, I just dont agree with people that saying that if its not announced this month its not coming at all.
I might actually prefer the unpredictability of Twitter Directs. There have been no insiders popping in and calling these announcements.
Gives me hope that things I want to be announced don't have to happen in Nintendo's normal Direct pattern of announcement followed by the actual even a day or two later.

If you want bigger games, then don't expect them to be dropped on Twitter. Joker in Smash isn't new. He came at the Game Awards.
I'm not sure why that video debunks Doomguy or Erdrick, it just debunks one specific rumor that includes those characters. Both Doomguy and Erdrick were guesses or speculation long before that rumor.
Yup. By the way can any of you pick up my dry cleaning?

Yeah, they are not on same day, and official English translation is coming few days after.
The financial earnings drop one week from today in America. It'll be around Wednesday evening (April 24th).
But you said same week. Directs and investors meeting/quarter results can happen on the same week, it has happened before many times. I don't think it'll happen next week tho.
Yeah, I like it.
Also the Smash Bros Video has been a Smash Bros Direct in all but name.
It was just as lengthy and meaty.
You could fear that they will now slowly phase out normal directs, but that won't be the case in my opinion.
Directs give much more attention to games that otherwise wouldn't have gotten it, so they still have a place.
But for established games like Smash Bros just dropping a video makes sense, and you keep the surprises.

Gruntila cosplay and fan art are on point

Yeah. The thing is that while Erdrick was part of the deconfirmed rumor, Erdrick was also part of multiple other rumors (and is a logical choice, + likely datamined correctly at this point).
Doomguy/Ryu/Steve are another rumor from another poster. Some people thought it was the same because it's the same forum, but it was a different user ID. So technically, this rumor isn't exactly deconfirmed yet.
The thing is Joker took four months from announcement to release. Don't if this is healthy for a dlc release. Maybe a shorter timespan like you suggest would be better
I agree, but the current release date is right after Spider-Man: Far from Home and before the DVD/Blu-Ray release of Endgame, so it's not totally random. And I'm fine with a minor delay if it makes the game that much better.
I also said "same day" but you ignoring that like usually when you making discussion.
I also said that Nintendo doesn't release "games and DLCs" on same week with quarter results, but you ignored that part also.
Also, Directs in same week with quarter results are very rare, few exceptions that did happen don't change that fact.
I was going to say, I think you guys are grasping at straws over the witch thing but... Nintendo refer to MS as "our friends at Microsoft" at the Cuphead for Switch reveal so... Anything is possible, I guess?
Basically I wouldn't be surprised if Banjo did or did not come to Smash at this point.

Yeah, that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 date seems really late. It's frustrating how Nintendo releases all these games at once.
Granted they care more about legs than initial launch sales, but it's annoying having nothing much to play for February and March and then July of all months is slammed.

You said Nintendo doesn't release games and DLC news on the same week of quarter results and investors briefing and I simply showed you there have been Directs on the same week and day as of investors meeting and quarter results, as these two always happen on the same week.
I'm not ignoring anything wtf, I simply wanted to provide some extra information showing that Directs and investors meeting can happen on the same week, nothing else, not that it will happen next week tho. Anyway, this is useless, I'm done with it.
Aaaaaand no direct this week. Safe to say that all we can expect between now and E3 are trailers for SMM2 or direct focused solely on that.
That's pretty much it. The most we get is a mini Mario Maker 2 Direct. Everything else waits for E3 or dropped on Twitter
