Announced at EVO 2018, there will be a Super Smash Bros. focused Nintendo Direct livestream on August 8th at 7 am PT/ 4 pm CEST, where Masahiro Sakurai will be discussing new information related to the game. Be sure to stay tuned, as the event will be covered live on GBAtemp as it airs.

Sakurai himself said so when the Wii U / 3DS version came out. You didn`t hear? He said that the proportions of the character were too much to be a single playable character, that he wasn`t willing to do it. Guess he just ceded to the fans pressure. Look it up, it`s on his own words.

And you are right, Smash Bros was a game that USED to celebrate Nintendo`s History, just not anymore. There are some characters there that don`t belong, and some others that should be. But I guess that if you didn`t even knew those words about Ridley, we will never get along with our Smash Bros ideas.
bowser changes times all around, from being the size of a building on sunshine and galaxy games to being small and i dont see anyone complaining, also if sakurai only putted characters with actual sizes then olimar would be the size of an ant compared to human characters.

on the original metroid ridley was the size of samus basically.

HA there's barely any 2018 games so doesn't look good! :creep:
Checking a release list of 2018, there are over 300 games at only a partial way through the year so far (I counted reverse from July and realized reaching past that number and still only being in March was not worth having to put in more effort).

Neat, I have something to look forward to on my birthday. Wish it were something better than Smash. ;p Smash is dope and all, it's just... We've seen a weeks worth of gameplay from it already.
Would much rather see all those games they've yet to announce for the rest of the year.

I'm with you guys, I'm hopeful there's going to be a second Direct in August to talk about any secret games for ports coming to the Switch in 2018.

Though as it stands I'm still hyped for Super Mario Party, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Xenoblade 2 Expansion this year but I feel that's not enough considering how dry the Summer of 2018 has been with 1st party titles (nothing for July, August and September).

Was going to post "but Smash already had a Nintendo Direct at e3" but I see I'm not the only one to think that.
But hey, that means there is a 0.0001% chance to have Chibi-Robo as a new character ? ;)

Nintendo: We plan to support the 3DS throught 2018 and 2019
Also Nintendo: *craps a ton of good looking switch games and only focuses on Smash*

Maybe they just don't have anything else to show? Whilst having loads to show for smash. I'm sure once they have something we'll get plenty of directs for those projects
