I saw the trailer and at first I was kind of mixed, I mean I liked Splatoon but I mean it's not a seller for me. I did appreciate the animation as it looked really S L I C K if you know what I mean.

As it turned to black, I was thinking, "oh, perhaps an extra story detail? maybe it's getting a little more serious.". When it zoomed into her face, I was like "oooh, what's the threat here?"

Then I saw the Smash logo, and I don't think words can exactly describe how I felt. Still, I may as well try.
"OH MY GOD, IT'S TRUE! WE'RE IN! OH MY GOD! YESSSS-"
"be quiet i'm trying to watch TV" my dad says.

I was definitely excited. But when I saw the number 2018, oh boy. If my dad didn't tell me to be quiet earlier, I would've probably yelled so loudly the neighborhood could hear me (not any further though, wouldn't want my voice to completely die).

My brothers didn't really have the same effect, maybe because they didn't like the way Smash was going in the competitive way, but I was hyped. After seeing the little details, such as being developed by HAL, that kickstarted me wanting a Switch (and Kirby Star Allies, I mean just look at that game, that game looks amazing!)

Oh and by the way, thanks Marc for doing a giveaway like this! (and by any chance have you watched Nyanners?)

It has been confirmed from the latest Nintendo Direct that Super Smash Bros. is coming to the Nintendo Switch this year (2018). It was NOT something I was expecting but I'm so happy they did it like this :D


I'm going to give away a copy of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch to one lucky Pedian.

And just in case you were wondering, this is in NO way connected to the free Nintendo Switch game I'll be giving away at a later date to those who have the regular emblem when it launches.

If you do not have a Switch yet or someone already got you the game, don't worry, you can get eShop credit or an Amazon gift card (eg. for a Smash controller if you want) instead.

How to participate
:

All you have to do is post your first impression and reaction of the video when you were watching the Nintendo Direct. If you skipped the actual Direct and only watched the trailer, post from that point of view.

Requirement(s) :
  • Must have a post count of at least 10.
  • If you're chosen as the winner but you're inactive, I'ma do a re-roll. Tough luck.

well since i skipped the actual direct, i ended up seeing the trailer and tbh i laughed when i saw the symbol in the inkling's eye, i probably wouldnt have known it was an early smash trailer actually if not for the title and the symbol at the end since we only watched a couple inklings battle for a bit lol :p it was a pretty funny trailer but exciting news to keep it short and to the point :p

So I came into the direct believing we wouldn’t a single bit of smash, so when the trailer came up it looked a lot like the splatoon 1 promo and I was wondering if it was like the story mode from splatoon 1 coming back or a port for the first game. There was a bit in me that was thinking it could also be inklings showing up in another game like Smash but I didn’t want to get my hopes up. When it turned dark I realized that it might actually be Smash and then when I saw the logo in the inkling’s eye I was shouting I was so supprised that Smash actually showed up.

was on skype call during the direct, reacting with a friend when this annoucment came up: at first we though "oh 3ds sploon game or Some other giant sploon 2 update" no... we we're wrong, I was question why and how Smash was annouced...friend fell out of his chair

Man I love smash but didn't expect it. I was actually spoiled when I looked at my feed but then watched the trailer and still felt the shivers. The slow dark fade to the screeching music leading up to the smash ball logo was amazing. I don't have a switch but plan to get one once I graduate. I know I'll be smashing for a while and I couldn't ask for a better announcement.

It said not actual gameplay at the start of the trailer :panda:
Of course not, but it goes to show how Nintendo is putting tons of effort into the next Smash. I am expecting some updated visuals. :D

Are you saying I have to post ten things about the video in this thread?

How long will this last, and can I say anything I want? Is it about creativity in writing? Or do you just have to write something to enter and you are chosen at random?

I didn't watch it during the direct, so i already knew it was going to be a ssb trailer because of all the talk around it. When i went to watch it again, i didn't really pay attention till the end scene when the logo came on. That was the only part that mattered and it was hypee :D

I was actually watching this direct live with my best friend. We were already freaking out about all the other games being announced like bowser's inside story and undertale. After the splatoon update announcement, and the last announcement was playing, I was so confused. After 30 seconds, my friend was shouting "I've only seen cutscenes this good in ONE place, and ONE place only!" I just kept shaking my head in disbelief. When we saw the smash ball in the inkling's eye, we freaking lost it. We were running around screaming "It's happening! It's f-ing happening!" After we calmed down, I was low-key thinking about how this would affect the competitive scene. I was too hyped to get into all the nitty gritty stuff at that moment though.

So my reactions exactly

At first when I saw the trailer I thought it was Splatoon 1 remade so I was pretty disappointed as it was meant to be "the end all be all thing that they hyped up for the end of the direct" but, Then out of nowhere I saw the lights dim so I then thought it was a Splatoon movie I thought was cool but, I was still disappointed then when I least expected it BAM!!! Then I saw the fire and Smash ball in Inkling girls eyes, And I started screaming in my room at my laptop SMASH! SMASH HOLY CRAP SMASH! Like a maniac and literally threw my joy cons across the room and one of my pillows needless to say I was HYPED. Then I sat there thinking about the Inking's move set and how they would affect the meta game. I was to hyped to really thing hard and good about it though. When I heard about the direct and that the spotlight was on Mario tennis I thought originally it was just going to be a normal update direct you know maybe some spin offs of some 1rst party Nintendo franchises maybe a new Wario ware (which we did get which I will buy just because Wario ware games are really fun) And new info of the new Mario tennis game ect. ect. So when we got the first Crash bandicoot game on Nintendo consoles in 13 years and A new Mario & Luigi game remake I was HYPED for that as well and Smash was just icing on the cake definitely the best Nintendo direct ever!

When Smash Switch comes out. Or maybe when they start allowing pre-loads.

I briefly went over the Nintendo Direct, since some Pedians here in the Shoutbox had mentioned it. So I started the video and went through it and saw some interesting things like Captain Toad and Bowser's Inside Story for 3DS (which I was happy to see that game again, since I played the original on the DS).

Then near the end of the video, right when I was going to watch something else, I saw the Inklings shooting each other and I yelled, "WUT!?" I was wondering what they could be showing. Splatoon 3 already? No that couldn't be right, maybe DLC?

Suddenly everything starts to go dark and I'm wondering what Nintendo is trying to show that was so special. Once the Inkling Girl turned around and I saw the Smash logo, my jaw dropped. "Is this really happening?" I asked myself, then it got even better. I saw the BoTW Link standing their in the dark with his hair blowing around with amazing detail then I literally passed out!

Ok, I didn't actually pass out, but I was in shock once I saw the BoTW Link. It was probably my favorite thing from the entire Direct.

As soon as I saw the way the inklings were fighting I knew there was a new smash bros coming out on the switch. I was perplexed but not very hyped, as the more hyped you are the more likely you'll be disappointed. With the way they conducted the trailer I was in the impression of a new smash bros (but considering all the ports on the Switch I wouldn't be surprised if its just some sort of smash bros 4 deluxe)
