The Nintendo Direct tomorrow

At first glance, one would assume this particular direct shouldn't be newsworthy here. But I am betting that they will announce the release date of ROB famicom, Ryu, and Roy amiibo at least. Which begs the question, is amiibo-related news something notable into the future? I mean, all 59 of those plastic figures will surely take a ton of time judging the current lineup.

They already announced the release dates for those three in the final Smash presentation in December. If they announce release dates for any of the last three Smash amiibo (Cloud, Corrin, Bayonetta) in this Direct, we can put that on the news template. Miles (talk) 17:02, 2 March 2016 (EST)

And not like it'd happen, but same goes for any surprise DLC characters. I highly doubt that'll happen though. Disaster Flare (talk) 17:05, 2 March 2016 (EST)

That or an update that n̶e̶r̶f̶s̶ ̶B̶a̶y̶o̶n̶e̶t̶t̶a̶ b̶u̶f̶f̶s̶ ̶P̶a̶l̶u̶ once again brings tweaked character balancing. -- BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 17:13, 2 March 2016 (EST)

Well, seeing as the SSB4 development team has disbanded and gone on for vacation for now, I don't think we'll get a patch. We still might get amiibo release dates, though, so we should keep an eye out for that. BaconMasterLuck o the Irish. 17:18, 2 March 2016 (EST)

I didn't know that those dates were finalized Miles, oops. Anyway, of course if anything else happens to the actual Smash game then it's newsworthy (not to mention the almost guaranteed probability that release dates for Smash series games will be announced.) The main reason for this thread was simply to ask if every amiibo announcement is worth mentioning at this point. I mean, they could keep coming out into 2017. Also all this clinging onto mostly false hope for more updates is saddening and hilarious :P RobSir zx 17:54, 2 March 2016 (EST)

Games order

Is there a reason why Smash 4 results seemingly are always mentioned first? – Smiddle 04:21, 4 July 2016 (EDT)

It's just the ordering of the news template, similar to how it's done on the smasher template where it lists their Smash 4 mains first. However, I should mention that for the three results before WTFox 2 (where Melee was the largest game), Smash 4 was the largest game at those respective tournaments.

Speaking of the template, what are we thinking? Good? Bad? Amazing? Terrible? Serpent King 08:09, 4 July 2016 (EDT)

The main event should go first. If there is no clear main event, then whatever order is fine. – Smiddle 04:47, 5 July 2016 (EDT)

...alright, I didn't realize now that every one of these entries was a template themselves. In that case it makes sense to have the same order every time. – Smiddle 12:45, 18 July 2016 (EDT)

Saves a lot of space for sure and is easier to edit if needed. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 14:22, 18 July 2016 (EDT)

New Item

Should the new mysterious new item that was discovered yesterday be listed in the News template?

It doesn't go in the news until it's officially confirmed; that said, we have noted it. Aidan, the Spooky Rurouni 11:07, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
