Did Nintendo reveal the "big news" that was suppossed to drop today?
If not, speculation thread, I guess.
It was Minecraft coming to Wii U. You could literally find this out with a single google search.

>Wow it's fucking nothing
>>319326696
Minecraft is coming to the Wii U which means that Steve being confirmed for Smash is inevitable.
>>319326824
forgot about the "news" function
Im dumb ty anon
>>319326926
It be pretty funny to see Steve in Smash and the reactions
Do people still play Minecraft?
I haven't heard about it in a long time.
Nintendo is dead that's the news
>>319327009
>neutral b is to drop some blocks
>can build awesome houses and forts
>forget about even fighting, make cool bases
i'd do it
>>319327059
It still gets updates. Doesn't change the fact that Nintendo are several years late to the party.
>>319326926
>>319327009
You have to admit, Steve would have a potentially neat moveset. And a Miney crafta stage could cool too. Make it randomly generated and maybe make the floor break when smashed, smash it enough and you can reveal caves amd such.
>>319327059
Not on /v/ probably but kids and normies do
>>319326926
I'm entirely okay with this.
Minecraft is fucking huge, and it started as an indie game (not sure if it still is considered one) so people can get that indie rep they so badly want.

Alex as an alternate costume
>>319327594
No there are better indie reps out there like Shovel Knight and Shantae. Minecraft should be the last place to look for a character
>>319327810
the fuck is Alex?
>>319326926
The thing is that I see this happening.
I mean, we all know how fucking big it's Minecraft, if they add Steve to Smash, a lot of people will buy a Wii U and smash just to play with Steve, and then they'll probably buy the Wii U version of Minecraft too.
Also, Minecraft will gain more popularity with Nintendo fanboys, and this would increase the sales of Minecraft Wii U edition too.
And if they release an amiibo... well, it will sell a lot.
So both Nintendo and Microsoft will win with this collaboration.

>better indies
>not mentioning Quote
come on
>>319328814
>Buying smash for a minecraft character
>>319329160
The Minecraft fanbase is fucking huge and autistic, anon. A lot of kids will want to play with Steve in Smash.
And it will happen with Cloud too, just wait and see.
>>319326926
those whimsical "dream matches" built smash in the first place, and mario vs steve is shit a lot of kids would want to see realized and theres tons of popular youtube videos as a testament to that
the aging neckbeards that are the cornerstone of nintendos consumer base would largely oppose it but the younger gamers would go bonkers. steve would fit into smash really well and there's a ton of source material to draft a kit with
>>319328270
>But jolly old Steve doesn’t really represent the diversity of our playerbase. For that reason, we’re giving all players opportunity to play with an Alex skin instead. She brings thinner arms, redder hair, and a ponytail; she actually looks a bit like Jens from certain angles.
>>319328270
the girl alternate to steve, she's shown in a lot of the promo art now, just like the one for the wii u reveal
that dude above who said "alternate costume" is defintely on the money, assuming steve makes it in smash somehow
>>319326926
Fuck. That's pretty fucking stupid.
>>319328004
What makes them better choices? Minecraft is fucking giant, there are people on the street that have never touched a video game that know what it is.
I'm hardly a Minecraft fan but if the choice came down to Shovel Knight or Minecraft, Nintendo would likely pick Minecraft.
>Microsoft and Nintendo have been getting along for a while.
>CEO says that he would have no problem with Banjo-Kazooie in Smash
>Minecraft on the Wii U now
Steve in Smash is now pretty feasible, though I don't want to see that.
>>319327059
Kids are way into it. My little cousins are and when I asked one of them. who's 9, what she wanted for Christmas it was the story mode.
>>319326926
>Not Banjo
Sakuari isn't retarded, he gets whats better.
>>319326926
It's not like Tr4sh has an awful roster already or something
>Microsoft owns minecraft
>Minecraft on Wii U
>Steve in smash
You guys realize what this means....
>Banjo
>>319326824
Wasn't it shown in the past direct?
>All the incoming miiverse posts from the Minecraft section
>>319331132
I am anticipating the cringe as we speak.
>>319331132
I can't wait to see the Miiverse tringe threads tbqh familiar
>>319331372
Cringe*
Fucq

>Sakurai tallying up the ballot suggestions to get an accurate measure of what kids these days want
>all those children unironically asking for Steve for smash
>Microsoft is fine with it, and Nintendo is chill enough to let a game made by them on their console
>Sakurai starts to realize that Steve might not be so bad, and it's easy to make a model and a moveset for him
>post yfw it's finally happening
>>319331004
>damn near single biggest video game of all time finally gets on a nintendo platform
>sakurai: let's add the niche 90's duo from a skunked franchise instead that hasn't turned heads in 15 years
