So I didn't watch the announcements, I read about them on other forums & websites. So the first thing I saw from it was the new 3DS hardware, and didn't think much of it. Colored buttons, new tiny stick, supposedly faster - ok, but I don't see any reason to upgrade from my current XL. Then I read that they're porting Xenoblade to it. Ok, well, if that hits the US then mark me down for the console & game. I'm a MASSIVE Xenoblade fanboy, so I'm in. Would rather have had it hd on the Wii U, true, but I'll take whatever they give me.
So then I read on. Before I post this next bit, this is my history with the new Smash Bros.:
Game is announced - I don't care, not a big SB fan
Game coming to both Wii U / 3DS - still don't care, don't like fighters on handhelds & still not a big SB fan
Announce Pac-Man as a playable character - cool, but I still don't really care, not a big SB fan
...
Announce Shulk as a playable character - *goes to put down preorder on new SB game*
