That message, or warning sounds so weird! What are they planning? Also, another splatfest so soon?

My guess, it will be Team Do you want Octolings, vs. Team No Octolings. Whichever ones wins determines if we get them playable or not. That would be some high stakes.

If that happens we will never get Octolings because Team Octolings will be immensely more popular than Team No Octolings. Marie's Law (that the least popular team always wins, except when there is only a small difference in popularity, like Art vs Science) dictates that Team No Octolings would win.

No I didn't make up Marie's Law! Why on earth would you think that!?

Or.......the next theme will be Christmas related.

Should've known it was Minecraft due to Damon Baker being the one who said this whole thing. I hate being a stubborn bull. Alright, now I'm done for good. No more hype. If it happens, it happens. I got better things to do than to worry about something like this.
It's better not to get your expectations too high whenever there's a new announcement. Heck, my expectations were extremely low when the new Pokemon announcement was another F2P game.

welp

this thread became unwatched for me for some reason

what did I miss besides new recruits...??
Just some reactions to the Minecraft announcement and some Ninty shenanigans on Twitter. Not much :p

But I can't shake this feeling something big is coming this month...

Anyway, anyone have ideas for the upcoming Squidmas fest theme?

I won't get too excited for any potential announcements in the future. I know they're coming due to the constantly updated files regarding them but the actual announcement could be in January or even February for all I know, Nintendo is very difficult to predict. And I agree, that Pokemon announcement just blew being a FTP game.

Inklings would be a favorite of mine for sure. Banjo Kazooie would be fantastic. That would explain why we could not know who won for so long, as they are owned by Microsoft, and there would be a lot of legal hoops to jump through.

Oh man... I foresee a lot of bitching and tears in the future. I can't wait!

I honestly think the Inklings would make better Assist Trophies at this point, but I'm not opposed to having them playable.

This is something I hope doesn't happen. Every time there's a character people want to play as in Smash, they're always reduced to being either Assist Trophies, costumes (inb4 someone mentions the Inkling costumes for the Miis), or a stage prop. The Inklings don't deserve this treatment.

Concerning how popular Splatoon is lately, they should be playable characters in Smash. Sakurai better not troll us hard next week.
I would assume Nintendo would be pushing Sakurai for the Inklings. They would bring a lot of money and a lot of people have asked for them in the ballot (I know I did) and Splatoon is still very popular right now on top of the Black Friday deal. I will be a little shocked if they don't reveal them on Tuesday. It just all adds up.

Can I get one prediction right, Ninty?
