[5:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT COMING UPPP
[5:08 PM] RawkHawk2010: I thought they meant this one was still going.
Sorry for this log taking so long to publish: KoopaTV was so engrossed in the tournament that followed this! (Log for that coming up!)
Treehouse filler section precedes this.
Last year's whole Splatoon 2 tournament at E3 2017.
Here is the Super Mario Bros. Ultimate tournament...
This was certainly a pleasant surprise that made up for the somewhat disappointing Direct. I only completed the story mode about a week ago, so I'm hyped to be able to squid jump back into a new adventure with Octolings and see how it all plays out.
ReplyDeleteNgyes!
DeleteI'm actually slightly upset that the Octo Expansion is coming out tonight since I was planning my game-playing-pace around it being available in the summer like they promised.
I DON'T HAVE TIIIIIME.
