User blog:Smasher51/Comparing the Nintendo Direct to it's respective 4Chan Leak

Hey everyone. Wow, what a week. Cloud being confirmed, a new livestream in December (I love it when Sakurai trolls us), and all kinds of new stuff happening on this wiki, an upcoming blog series by Plasmaster, and a new user, MrBreada. Be sure to give him a warm welcome in his introduction blog.

Now, let's get down to business. A week or two ago, InklingChris shared a leak from 4Chan that leaked (obviously) info on this past Nintendo Direct. Here are a few links.

Chris' blog on the subject:

The Nintendo Direct Summary I am using as reference on Nintendo Life:

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/11/feature_the_big_nintendo_direct_summary_-_12th_november

I would share a link to the Nintendo Direct, but it's not up anywhere that I'm aware of. If I'm wrong and one of you guys has it, feel free to share the link. If that's the case, other users be warned. The Direct is a little over 45 minuets. Yeah, but it's totally worth it, after seeing the face Reggie makes during the Yo-Kai Watch mini presentation. For those of you who can't wait, here it is.

I'm sorry, I just had to do that. Anyway, let's cut to the chase. I want to go over both subjects and see what all was correct from the 4Chan leak and what didn't happen. And so, as Sakurai said oh so long ago, "Let's Begin."

The 4Chan Leak VS. The November 12th Nintendo Direct
4Chan: Smash ballot results, 6 characters 3 available after the direct

Nintendo Direct: That didn't happen, otherwise I would've just dropped Sonic and the Black Knight and be playing Smash. We did get an announcement for Cloud though, with news of an impending livestream.

4Chan: More Wii U eshop titles and virtual console games announced with discounts leading up to Christmas!

Nintendo Direct: True, with some 3DS titles as well, including Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
