in terms of smash, i still think the best way to end the game would be on master chief, but i'm not so sure about him anymore. i'm thinking the smtv protagonist is pretty likely (which i think is a little boring given half the dlc has been jrpg characters)
the direct itself was pretty good though. kirby is finally changing things up, bayonetta 3 looks awesome, dread still looks incredible, and banjo is coming to switch. my only real complaint is that i'm still not crazy about retro games being locked behind a subscription service.
insanely funny casting aside, i'm actually more interested in the mario movie now.
i was so sure they'd do a fish-out-of-water movie about "mario in the real world", but having characters like cranky and spike make me think its gonna be an origin story which is neat
i am POSITIVE they will do a joke where some side character voiced by charles martinet will do his "mario impression" and he'll do the game mario voice and then chris pratt mario will be like "i dont sound like that".
Kazuya's trailer was hilarious, and he's definitely not a bad addition. He's not for me, but he's far from a bad choice.
I still think it'd be cool to get more underrepresented genres in Smash, so I don't think I would have added another fighting game character- but its cool.

Haven't looked at any rumors or leaks for a very long time so I'm going to limit replies so people won't spoil things in the comments in case stuff got leaked.
Most wanted surprise:
Diddy Kong Racing 2. With MK8D still selling so well, I doubt they want to cannibalize it with MK9.
Pokemon Snap just got a sequel so I think its the perfect time for a DKR2.
I also think Microsoft would let them use Banjo.
I'm very curious about how Pokemon Snap is going to work in the age of social media.
The original game was so great, but it was also a VERY scripted experience. This wasn't a problem because it wasn't a social game. You could only share photos locally with friends/family.
It would be really great if you loaded into a level and were like "Wow, I've never seen a Steelix in that area before." or "Oh shit I've never seen these two Pokemon interact before!"
I think that's the most important thing they need to do with this game.
