Lists?[edit]

Don't know about anyone else, but I think this needs to be sorted into actual paragraphs - particularly the list about the 9-4-13 direct. Should I do that? ScoreCounter (talk) 16:05, 14 April 2014 (EDT)

Chronology[edit]

Wow, this feels weird - I know this is a tad strange, but, after the next generic ND, should we put it before the SSBDirect, for clarity, or after, for chronology? The latter makes more sense, but - I donno. ScoreCounter (talk) 14:41, 4 May 2014 (EDT)

E3 2014[edit]

Why isn't that direct mentioned? It revealed Palutena and Mii Fighter. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 12:39, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Probably because it isn't a Nintendo Direct, it was referred to as a Digital Event instead and certainly had differences from an average Nintendo Direct. Zm123bro (talk) 13:26, 18 November 2014 (EST)

The E3 2013 direct is mentioned. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 13:28, 18 November 2014 (EST)
That's because it was a Nintendo Direct. 2014's was a Digital Event. Aidan the Gamer 13:29, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Pre3 Direct[edit]

Um... was that really a direct? It was called a "presentation" and is grouped alongside the digital event... so... ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 21:13, 15 June 2015 (EDT)

August 2018 Direct[edit]

With the August 2018 Smash Direct now being privated/removed from all official YouTube channels from Nintendo (from what I'm aware of, anyway), that means there is currently no video to link to about the Direct the section is referring to. I have came up with three possible choices for resolving this issue:

  1. Link to an unofficial reupload of the Direct on YouTube.
  2. Link to the Twitch upload of the Direct. I don't know if SmashWiki can support the Twitch video player, but this is the only official upload of the Direct (that I'm aware of) that is currently available to view.
  3. Just leave the section without a video to link to and wait for the official YouTube uploads to be available again.

I don't think SmashWiki can do Twitch VODs and the Widgets extension doesn't appear to either. Supposedly EmbedVideo can do Twitch VODs, but I'm not sure how well it works or if it is worth it to ask Porple install it just for this one situation. I personally think embedding a reupload along with a link to the official Twitch VOD would be best. That way readers who want a quick look can use the embed and readers who want the most "pure" version can use Twitch. --CanvasK (talk) 10:57, August 8, 2021 (EDT)
Maybe the direct would come back later this month? ThegameandwatchIcon2.png Thegameandwatch Thegameandwatch signature icon.png The Nerd 11:28, August 8, 2021 (EDT)
