2014: the best part of the starting lineup is that you have more than 40 unique heroes to choose from! 2018: 8 characters.

They were so confident about smash tour

I keep coming back to this video just to hear how unnecessarily excited the Announcer is about mundane things. "On the Gamepad, there's a MICROPHONE!!!!!"

I don't know if anyone noticed this, or if I should point it out, but the Charizard amiibo at 25:45 is named "Daddy".

Nintendo: *Says it has 50 facts* *Then has 54 facts* Give Nintendo's counting department a raise!

"...but the 3DS version isn't going to be overshadowed." ~Sakurai, Super Smash Bros. Direct 4.8 *Riiiiiiight.* I pity the 3DS version now.

28:34 On the game pad there’s a MICROPHONE!!!!!!!

Smash 4: **Has 437 songs** “It’s incomprehensible!” Smash Ultimate: **Has double the amount of songs as Smash 4**

31:00 DeDeDe & Bowser: "Draw us like two of your French girls."

"Guess she's taking a break from being kidnapped" OH DAMN VIRIDI, #SHOTS FIRED.

2014: “8-player Smash will only be available on certain stages” 2018: “SCREW THE RULES 8-PLAYER SMASH ON EVERY STAGE GUYS DON’T BURN YOUR SWITCHES”

Today's the 4 Year Anniversary of the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza! Let's hope we get something like this for Ultimate before the game's revealed!

I feel nintendo is bullying the 3ds version

8 PLAYER SMASHES!!!! .....Now all I need is friends.....

The Announcer better be Switch DLC.

29:09 TOTALLY how Smash players act right after the end of a match.

The Miiverse stage seemed like such a good idea...we were so wrong...

"Let's do timed" said no dedicated smash player ever

And now Ultimate just topped this with less than 15 facts.

Man this game looks awesome. Oh wait It's 2018

Wow. It really is impossible to please some of you people. Nintendo has literally bent over backwards to give you a character that you've been begging for ever since the game was released. And what do you do? "Oh, no Ridley, no Lucas, this game sucks!" Grow up. We can't have everything we want. I wanted Bayonetta, or Rundas, or Eggman to be in the game. Did I get my wish? No. Can I live with it? Absolutely.

I bet this voice wrecks Xander's throat.

This is still one of my favorite Directs to date. The announcer really made this.

Im upset they didn't bring back the "clear movies" in ultimate that you got in every other smash game. I really liked those.

0:25 They should have used this voice clip in the end of the opening for the Wii U version.

Am I the only one who died of laughter when he said: "on the game pad there's a MICROPHONE!" ?

WOW! Both versions of the game have buttons!

"Let's do timed" -Said no one ever

That was more than 50 facts. Not that I'm complaining...

you know what this game needs? A story mode.

I still remember when everybody lost their minds when this video came out.

I remember watching this when it came out and rewatching it so many times. I was so hyped.

"Let's do time!" "Sounds good!" This conversation has never happened. EVER.

Wait a minute... The announcer made 54 announcements, and 54 - 4 is 50. Master hand has 5 fingers. 50 / 5 is 10. Crazy hand also has 5 fingers. 10 - 5 is 5. The announcer is Master Hand confirmed, but wait, announcer has 9 letters, master has 6... 9 - 6 is 3. A triangle has 3 sides. Triangle = Illuminati. Master hand is Illuminati confirmed!

I ocassionally come back here to watch this video again for glorious "nostalgia" reasons (that make me happy), but IDN about you... 🤷‍♂️

3:29 "Here we have a- THE GREAT CAVE OFFENSIVE" lol.

Sakurai trolled us like a boss with Ridley. But that Mewtwo confirmation, finally, made my day.

"YYYYYYYYYYYUUUUPPPP!!!" -The Announcer, 2014

Watching this in 2021 made me feel old. Any other Smash 4 veterans feel this way?

That game board mode looks fantastic! Also the new DK and Kirby stages are amazing! :D

Nintendo = QUALITY AND FUN

9:04 ʸᵒᵘ ᵃˡˢᵒ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵒᵖᵗᶦᵒⁿ ᵗᵒ ᵖˡᵃʸ 𝙎 𝙏 𝘼 𝙈 𝙄 𝙉 𝘼 ᵐᵃᵗᶜʰᵉˢ

4:05 Damn, I really wish this stage was in Ultimate. I love the new DKC games so it's a shame to see the little representation they had gone.

Who thought Master Hand was such a gentlemanly explainer

Why does the announcer remind me of Spongebob?

1:30 "these are the highest quality visuals we've ever had in a smash bro's game" 4 years later...

10:43 his buildup and excitement with the music was my favorite part xD wish they utilized the movie section in ultimate to keep in all the trailers (and maybe do hd remake of the special movie from melee)

Did i just read a comment complaining that the game has too much stuff? Im so looking forward to getting this. Cant wait for 95% of players saying that Melee is still better.

i really like this announcer guy. speaks calmly then SHOUTS WITH HYPE

Real talk tho, where on earth did time go? I remember this video like it was yesterday

Here just because the Final Ultimate direct was just announced and I need to find a way to pass a day and a half of time

"Hey we should play timed." Said no one ever. Also how is Mewtwo a "free" download when you have to buy 2 versions of the game...

Back when N64 came out "OMG 4 PLAYER, No more taking turn when 3 of my friends coming over. Now "OMFG 8 PLAYER, I NEED MORE FRIENDS COMING OVER!!!

why I'm I watching this I have the damm game

The Charizard amiibo's name is "Daddy" at 25:45 lmao

The hype is more real than ever. Improved Stage Builder, editing screenshots, board game mode, 8 players on the same game, and Mewtwo finally returns. The only thing missing? I don't have the game yet.

I'm not even being sarcastic, the ability to change menu music is the selling feature for me. The fact that Stickerbrush Symphony can play every time I start up the game is pretty sweet.

Even though Smash for Wii U has already been released 6 years ago and I pretty much know how almost all of this game is, I still occasionally come back here once-in-a-blue-moon to watch this again for Nostalgia!

2014: big battlefield 2020: small battlefield

Man hard to believe that this was a year ago already. I remember the day this came out, I had just come back from playing a football game(we won) and came home to find this in my inbox. Needless to say that was a great day.

6:40 I'm gonna die laughing when I get this game. "Princess Peach is taking a break from getting kidnapped" Nintendo is SO self aware and KidIcarus is their gateway to showing us that.

Challenge: Take a shot every time the announcer raises his voice for no reason.

October 23, 2014: Oh, sick! A miiverse stage! This'll be awesome! July 13, 2016: This stage just went from good, to horrendous in two years.

Narrator of this video did a great job! He really captured the spirit of the game!

5:52 No one else noticed that it said Skyworld was a Zelda stage?

is it just me or is this guys vocies make this vid better

Who came here after watching Nintendo Direct?

I bet they're holding off Snake as DLC just so he can start up a trailer with "kept you waiting, huh?"

I feel that the gave the Announcer a personality. It is something that I didn't think the series needed in the past, but after watching this, he'll become much more special to me, to us. Ahem.. *He is a character in and of himself, AND HE. IS. AWESOMEEE!!!!*

I've owned Smash 4 for 2 years and I've played it to death. And this video STILL makes me hyped!

Announcer: You won't find this much music in any other action game! Smash bros ultimate: Hold my beer.

Wii U version opening confirmed. I want to watch it. Like now.

I would pay so much money if Nintendo released amiibos based on the Final Smash trophies.

34:20 Iconic voice clip

I wished they’d include basically most, if not all, of the features they showcased here. Things such as the different modes and custom fighters would be really cool to have on ultimate. If they did then it really would be Ultimate

8 player smash?!! Omg i cant handle the shenanigans!!!

6:47 Pit: Makes us look like a buncha jokers oh god yes

9:25 *O H Y A H*

7:51 "RIDLEY"

Damn, that Bowser Jr. cutscene alone proved that there really should have been a story mode. I must be in the minority when I say that I thoroughly loved and adored Subspace Emissary. I played the entire story in one weekend with a friend and I have very fond memories of it. Just an opinion, but a story mode would be great some day, Nintendo. 👌

"Man what'a bunch of jokahs" I thought I'd never see the day Pit would say that, now all he needs to say is "REYN TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!"

So passive-aggressive towards 3ds

4 years ago today

I like how a mere month ago they were saying how great the 3DS version was and how worth it it was, and now they're totally ripping on it now that we've bought it. Idk how..

"It takes a lot of work even to complete one fighter!" I'm sure, re-imagining Dr. Mario and Dark Pit, was an excruciating experience indeed

The nostalgia is real

Waiting for Ultimate Extravaganza

Pit: "Hey look, it's Princess Peach!" Viridi: "I guess she's taking a break from being kidnapped". Me: SHOTS FIRED **bang** **bang**

I'm glad to know both versions have buttons & sounds. ;)

7:44 Lol! Now he’s finally playable

Xander Mobus must've had a field day with this!

Mewtwo, 8 Player Smash, Special Smash, Palutena's Guidance, Huge Stages, My Mind Is Officially Blown With A Thermonuclear Explosion!

Why are people upset that the Wii U version has more stuff than the 3DS version? It costs 20 dollars more, so having more content is kinda expected.

I love how he can say “MICROPHONE!!” And it’s still cool

10:30 Menu music - high Melee menu 2 music - high Brawl menu music. - low How to play music. - high

That moment when you realize that it was Master Hand giving this entire presentation.. whoa..

The announcer just makes this direct so hype. Give this guy a raise.

4:05 If I had Smash and a Wii U (which I don't), this would be the only stage I'd play on.

25:46 Dunker, Smog, Kick, *DADDY*
