[h=4]Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Everything we know[/h] Shortly after the March Nintendo Direct, Sakurai revealed he would return to the franchisefor Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. At E3 2018, Nintendo announced that every character (except Waluigi; because he’s only been an assist trophy) who had ever appeared in a Super Smash Bros. game would be featured in Ultimate, making a roster of more than 60. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is listed for a Dec. 7 launch on Nintendo Switch. Tune in on Wednesday when Polygon will have more coverage of this week’s Nintendo Direct

[h=2]Nintendo’s first all-encompassing Direct presentation since E3 2018[/h]
A Nintendo Direct will stream on Thursday, Sept. 6, at 6 p.m. ET. As per the event’s landing page, Nintendo will show off games for both 3DS and Switch during the latest presentation. The Nintendo Direct will run about 35 minutes, according to the company. That sounds like the company will have a good deal to talk about, which is always exciting for fans. (We hope, anyway.) It’s also the first time since E3 2018 that Nintendo will devote time to a number of games, not just a single title. We’ll have more on what to expect from this Nintendo Direct later today, but here’s a sampling of what could get some airtime: Super Mario Party, which comes to Switch on Oct. 5; and the port of Luigi’s Mansion, soon headed for Nintendo 3DS. Here’s hoping that Nintendo also finds the time to discuss more details about Nintendo Switch Online, its subscription service that is supposedly due out later this month. To watch the Direct live, check out the YouTube embed above. Nintendo also hosts an archive of previous presentations on the event’s website, should you want to relive previous Directs in the meantime.
Update: Nintendo has delayed the Sept. 6 presentation in response to a high-magnitude earthquake in northern Japan. The company has not revealed a rescheduled date and time, but we’ll keep you posted. These changes are reflect below
[h=2]Surprise! The Direct will air tomorrow evening[/h]
Nintendo has rescheduled its latest Direct presentation for Thursday, Sept. 13, at 6 p.m. ET.Expect the usual news on Nintendo 3DS and Switch games, specifically those due out later this year and beyond. After bumping the livestream last week in reaction to widespread damage caused by a hurricane throughout northern Japan, the company will air what we can only assume is the same Nintendo Direct prepared for last Thursday. Nintendo produces the events ahead of time, meaning that whatever is in the presentation that was set to run earlier this month is most likely still in there.
The Nintendo Direct will stream on Twitch and YouTube through Nintendo’s official channels. We’ve embedded the YouTube link above, so check in with us tomorrow at 6 p.m. ET to watch it here when it goes live. To tide you over until then, check out our list of games and news to expect from the Nintendo Direct. The big one hanging over Nintendo’s head: information about Nintendo Switch Online, the company’s subscription service for online multiplayer.
[h=1]Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ‘final’ Nintendo Direct airing Nov. 1[/h]
[h=2]Game director Masahiro Sakurai will deliver 40 minutes of Smash Bros. news[/h]
Nintendo will broadcast a new Nintendo Direct presentation on Thursday, Nov. 1, that’s all about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The next Nintendo Direct — said to be the final Direct presentation focused on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — will start at 10 a.m. EDT/7 a.m. PDT. Nintendo will broadcast on YouTube,Twitch and its Nintendo Direct website. Game director Masahiro Sakurai will host this week’s Nintendo Direct, where he will deliver “roughly 40 minutes of new information” about the upcoming Nintendo Switch game. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. is coming to Switch on Dec. 7, and we expect more character announcements and final details on the mysterious Spirits mode that Sakurai teased earlier this summer. And probably Waluigi. After the Nintendo Direct concludes, Nintendo will air a post-show Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentation. Nintendo promises live gameplay of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Diablo 3: Eternal Collection, Pokémon: Let’s Go! and Yoshi’s Crafted World for Switch.
Here’s a nice surprise: On Wednesday, at 9 a.m. ET, Nintendo will hold a short, seven-minute Nintendo Direct-style presentation to celebrate Pokémon Day. While we don’t know what games will be shown off, anyone waiting to hear more news on the upcoming Nintendo Switch Pokémon game should probably tune in. According to Nintendo, a “core” mainline entry into the monster collecting series is due to hit Nintendo Switch later this year, so now would be a great time to hear more details about it. Unlike Let’s Go, which are influenced by the viral mobile games, the next entry is “in the tradition of Pokémon X and Y and Sun and Moon,” according to the Game Freak company president Tsunekazu Ishihara. Pokémon Let’s Go, by contrast, shook up the traditional formula through through a variety of smaller features, such as displaying random encounters on the map. Pokémon for Switch is expected to usher in the eighth generation of Pokémon. The most recent entries in the franchise, Pokémon Sun and Moon, introduced seventh-gen Pokémon from the Alolan region. Those 3DS games debuted in 2016, and were followed by a pair of update versions, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, in 2017. Previous Pokémon Directs have also touched on non-core Pokémon games, including fighting game Pokkén Tournament, and re-releases like Pokémon Yellow for 3DS. The Pokémon Company and developer Niantic announced a Pokémon Day-themed event forPokémon Go on Tuesday, which will bring more Kanto-region Pokémon to the game. Fans will be able to catch the Nintendo Direct here.

Just finished Diablo 4 season in hurry to play Fallout 4 but gamepass released another banger in the form of Star Wars on April 25th. Gamepass is a steal man.
Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord
