Watching Directs live owns. Like the time I watched that Japan-only Direct in August and got to see Shulk's Smash Bros trailer while everyone in North America was asleep.

Oh come now, guys, time zones aren't that hard.

Interesting choice to pin the thread. Hopefully we don't get too many uncute visitors during the Direct.

The Saga

Yeah, I guess that sounded dumber than it was. And I have no real good response now either. Don't get me wrong, I like Nintendo. They're the ones that actually come up with the most new and innovative stuff in the home console market of today. I have absolutely zero interest in any of the other current gen consoles and care even less when stuff is announced for those.

But, like, the Directs... I don't know. I just never really feel like it's anything I have to watch, even if there's the chance of something new and incredible I'm highly interested in revealed there. There's certainly been stuff like that in the past. I guess I just don't really put importance in seeing it the moment it gets revealed vs seeing it on Youtube a few hours later, without watching the whole Direct. Because I know there's also a bunch of stuff getting revealed or new footage shown of there that I, personally, don't really care about.

I understand the appeal, I just can't get myself excited over it.

Aren't 4chan leaks usually spot on, though? I'd still put a tiny sum of money on something Metroid related.

It's probably bullshit for two reasons.

- There's a poster floating around the internet showing the New 3DS launching in NA on Feb 13.
- Game Freak have said that they didn't include the battle frontier intentionally, saying it was too big for kids or something. I doubt they would add it as DLC.

It's a business decision kind of thing. Only a really small amount of the huge playerbase really cares about the battle facilities, so why spend money on them?

No, the smash leak was 100% real and had tons of screenshots and video and other stuff that was all legit. Probably the only real leak I've ever seen.

The only leak I've seen off 4chan (not coming from another source) that was real was, I believe, a leak of the DS Lite a day before its announcement.

I've definitely seen developers, artists, and other professionals do AMA-esque talks on 4chan, but that's different.
