If I were guess a few things about the Nintendo Direct, a new character reveal in Smash. First party character: Scorbunny/Cinderace. Or a third party: Crash. BotW 2 stuff. How they explain the removal of some Mario games at the end of March.

I hope my power is on by 4 pm tomorrow so the Nintendo Direct doesn't buffer every 3 seconds due to ****** service.

I think I have far bigger issues at hand than being unable to watch tomorrow's nintendo direct, but the bummer factor is still cumulative

@_moonborne_ But still, it doesnt mean it's not lazy or that conventions can't be broken (heck, that's been the nintendo motto for the past 4 years). All 3 Links are just literally copy pastes of each other with very minor touchoups instead of actual representations of their legendary games

@Neoxon619 @ActualAero Though it would still be cool if they found a way to impress us by choosing someone we weren’t expecting AND they happened to be a black rep. Though I don’t blame Nintendo for not really acknowledging social issues from races that make up a very small % of their population.

The only redeeming quality of Nintendo’s Online Service, is that it’s way cheaper price than whatever ******** Sony and Microsoft got going on

@JW_Cartoonist Personally, I'm still hoping that It's gonna be Crash; But it would be pretty cool if it is Shantae. I mean, at this point, what's Nintendo got to lose by not putting her in Smash.

@CrippleThreat8 @Nintendo Oh man I hope we get some Zelda new!!! I’m guessing Bayonetta 3 will be discussed and hopefully Metroid! Any guesses on the Smash character? Thinking maybe Crash???

(@odaneh211) reported
@NeonNerd1024 Disagree tbh, i feel like nintendo really fixed the garbage level problem from the first game. Endless and online dont shoot out so much hot trash at me anymore and detailed search is perfect for a quick mario session of really well made levels. Plus playing worlds is fun af too

@cosmokramer74 @Nintendo I could see Crash. I think it'll be a big one. I could see something like Doomguy. Hope would be Geno but don't see that happening.

I guess I haven’t tweeted my own thing in awhile. Uhh, I guess Nintendo Direct predictions. Crash Bandicoot in Smash and Pokémon DP remakes. These aren’t serious, I’m just kind of bored right now and wanted to tweet something.

@2pt_5lbtrout @ChellyToms Then keep fighting Nintendo all you wish then But really, a C&D is prob the least of big houses problems Gonna get much worse after this freemelee stunt I assure you

(@kusanagiraikou) reported
@HMKilla If you ask me, I personally think Crash would show up tomorrow for Smash. Like, Crash 4 got announced for Switch, and fans have been demanding for him for years. I might be wrong, but unless Nintendo decides to throw a curveball, Crash is most likely the next DLC fighter.

(@XenoSkullz) reported
@RahulKohli13 @NintendoAmerica Also Crash Bandicoot for Smash. With Crash 4 coming to Switch next month there's a very good chance he'll make an appearance! Please don't do my boy *****, Nintendo. 🥺

I have a feeling not many people will care about this but here are my predictions for the Nintendo Direct coming up: -Crash in Smash -Persona games on switch (not sure which ones, maybe all the mainline games) -Something for Switch online, maybe GameBoy or N64 -Zelda Collection

Tim - Kotov Syndrome Out Now!
(@tbaughmanauthor) reported
@EveyJacob Realistically, they'll reveal someone like Crash Bandicoot (if 3rd party) or another Nintendo IP thing (Octoling? Toad? Geno?). But I would be super excited for Roy Mustang.

@HahaDaniel_ @2pt_5lbtrout @ChellyToms Then when are you getting your head out of the clouds Must be way up there if you really think Nintendo are effected by that hashtag But know what, no issue if you don’t fly again, someone else will pay my paycheque

Year of the Mac
(@BigMacEnergy) reported
After a month of not being able to find it I realized my favorite hat was in the car when it got broken into. My Nintendo switch and ipod were both in there, not touched. But my steel water bottle with stickers and my favorite hat? It's like they chose things that would hurt me
