Nintendo fans have been awaiting a Nintendo Direct, ever since E3. This new announcement arrives after leaks stated a new Direct would be airing later this month, and now Nintendo has confirmed. 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.

Do you have any proof to back up that claim? They may not be the best, but they're still games.
Shitty phone ports are genuine time wasters. Half of which aren't worth investing much time in unless you're that desperate for such a cheap thrill.

Darn. Was hoping the August Direct would have a Super Mario Maker for Switch announcement. Still possible I guess, but I doubt it.

jeez... so much complain. Too much Smash? We've only heard about Smash since March. One teaser and one 20 minutes reveal. EVERYTHING else is people talking about leaks of the media coverage being huge (because guess what... it's a very popular game).
It's really not "bad".

Wait and see, Nintendo has had a habit of surprising people during their direct. Nothing says we won't get an announcement related to something else. They could still announce their killer game for the Nintendo Online release.

for all the people upset its just smash, you dont know this yet. it was announced at evo. which is all about smash and fighting games. They probably called it a smash direct to get people at evo hyped for it. Calling it a nintendo direct instead and announcing at evo wouldnt have the same effect. it may be heavily focused on smash again. but dont rule out them talking about something else. if it doesnt happen, another direct will happen shortly after.

Honestly feel bad for Sakurai, he pushes himself so much when making these games, he got like mild tendinitis or something in his wrists when making sm4sh IIRC form all the testing he was doing. And now he is doing it all over again and people won't stop bitching about waluigi even after caving into fan demand for Ridley. Really hope he takes a nice long vacation as soon as Smash5 is out.

And here i'm waiting on Metroid Prime news, the only game that would make me consider getting a switch that and an exclusive "tales of ..." game, but that is not happening.
