SMASH ON SWITCH

[Calamity Panfan]

i never in a million years expected banjo so just getting another square thing like hero was cool.

and then we got f***ing BANJO AND KAZOOIE. f*** the haters. never ask sakurai for anything ever again.

[CaptHayfever]

I'm not upset with the inclusion, just with the name.

this has been Old Man Yells At Cloud.

Nah, you talked about Dragon Quest, Banjo-Kazooie, Tales, & Fire Emblem, but you didn't once mention Final Fantasy.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[CaptHayfever]

You're welcome.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[I am nobody]

It's really bizarre that they're calling him "The Hero" when he's called "The Luminary" in DQXI. I mean, they didn't name Joker "The Protagonist" or Robin "The Tactician."

[X-3]

It's probably so they didn't have to record additional announcer lines for the other three guys (Gohan Valiente, Broly and, uh...Bandanna Waddle Dee) and "Hero" covers all the bases.

^don't forget future trunks

[CaptHayfever]

Huh. I just realized I'm less than 200 spirits away from the full (current) roster, & half of the ones I don't have are summons (I've only summoned once so far, to get the achievement).

Also, I wish that Miis in Spectate matches displayed their costumes before the match instead of just the default look. One time it turned out to be Vincent, & he won, & if I'd known it was Vincent in the first place, I would've bet on him.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[CaptHayfever]

And by "less that 200", I mean 8.
Unfortunately, one of them is Mew, which requires the no-death WoL final round achievement, so that's gonna suck. The good news is, I left my NG+ unfinished just before the Master Hand rampage, so that's helpful; I can save-scum from there instead of replaying the entire story again.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[X-3]

It's not that bad honestly. I think I used a heal on hit spirit or something. Or maybe it was heal on KO?

[DarkZero]

OH MY GOD

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD

DID YOU SEE THAT PRESENTATION

DID YOU SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE MII FIGHTERS

[X-3]

Pity character 4's company was leaked just a few days ago, but otherwise...

I don't usually buy DLC characters but I might have to make an exception for my bear Banjo

[Valigarmander]

All those poor souls...

2019: Erdrick, Banjo, Terry Bogard and Sans visit Tomodachi Life

[CaptHayfever]

I was literally at work through the entire Direct, but I'm-a go ahead & compile info anyway.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[CaptHayfever]

It's not that bad honestly. I think I used a heal on hit spirit or something. Or maybe it was heal on KO?

I used Link with Giant Killer (because I think Soma is my strongest 3-tier primary?), Hyper Smash, Weapon Up, Air Up, a completed skill tree, & the difficulty switched to the new Very Easy setting.

And yes, that means I finally got every spirit (including the 4 new event ones this weekend)....as well as finishing all the Challenges (I did hammer several of the Online & Mob panels)! Now I just gotta fish for whatever Spirit Board matches haven't shown up yet (I hate that board items don't prioritize those), & I've 100%'d my first game since Lego Star Wars I!

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[DarkZero]

get ready to wake up at 5am west coast

[CaptHayfever]

I mean, I get up at 7am Central on weekdays anyway.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[CaptHayfever]

BREAKING: Sometime today, a free DLC pack of gold, Classic Tickets, & I think Spirit Board challenges(?) was made available for people with paid Nintendo Online memberships (no free trials). It does not download automatically; you have to get it manually before the window of availability ends.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[ScottyMcGee]

Oh wait what? I totally ignored that message like "Yeah yeah whatever"
