Best of 2018 Live Reactions at Nintendo NY 

*”IT’S SMASH!”* *”IT’S NOT!”* *”IT’S SMASH!”* *”IT’S NOT!”* *(collectively cheers)*

18:09 That one guy saying "oh shit Luigi's mansion 3" killed me

The Joker reveal was so unexpected, and its even funnier when you realize Sakuri is a HUGE persona fan

I would have loved to see the crowd reacting to steve

I get emotional seeing the fighter roster reveal with all the people cheering, i miss these reaction so much

I can’t believe it’s been 3 years

Imagine the Steve and Sephiroth reveals in there. I don’t think the store would still be standing after that

i miss how genuinely wholesome this shit could be. the one part where the 2 guys put their arms around each other. this happiness is like... unmatched

When the final dlc is released I want to buy that full banner Update I got it and it’s beautiful

"We made including every single fighter ever our number-one goal, so we're kind of hoping you aren't expecting too many new challengers." "That's fine." "That's fair." Still one of my absolute favorite crowd moments ever, really. Especially given what Ultimate's roster has become since.

I like how everyone quited down during the animal crossing reveal as if they could understand Tom nook

20:21 "that's not geno"

“GIVE US THE SWORD! SWORD! SWORD!” Ganondorf swings his sword *”HELL YEAH”* 😂😂😂😂

I like how half the crowd boo’s when bayo appears on the screen.

It was hilarious seeing EVERYONE pop off for ice-climbers

I love the full roster reveal for ultimate, with a bunch of characters the “YEAHHHH” kept getting louder

Everyone chanting Kirby is my favorite part, still gives me chills

i heard someone say moments like these are about the closest we’ll get to world peace. look at all these people, from different backgrounds, probably conflicting ideas, yet they put their arms around eachother and celebrate for something that makes them collectively happy. it’s beautiful what video games can do man. thank you sakurai

5:00 I love how everyone cheered for pikachu and then went silent then ice climbers came up and everyone went crazy

I miss these beyond anything else rn. Hopefully these will return this year for e3 and if they don't, here's to praying for the future. 😔😢

When smash ultimate is done there will never be something that comes even close to the level of hype it brought. I’m happy I was a part of it

I miss these NYC Nintendo Direct Reactions so much! 🥺

Kirby: Woooo! Bowser: WOOOOOOO! Link: WOOOOOOOOOOO! Donkey Kong: DONKEY KONG!

The funniest part is how during the "EVERYONE IS HERE" trailer you can actually hear some people *booing* over Bayonetta's reveal lmao also holy shit everybody loved Young Link returning

I like to imagine that everyone grabbing onto each other doesnt know who the other person is, but no one really cares cause they’re all just bros celebrating games

Now imagine the metroid dread reveal in that very room

That one dude covering his ears when everyone screams LMAOOO 0:56

Whenever I rewatch the Joker reveal I always get confused at way the ending is so long/slow, then I watch reactions and realized that nintendo took into account people *losing their absolute minds*

The pandemic isn't over until we get these reactions back. I don't even play Super Smash Bros, but I love how hype people get over it.

I'm not even too big a smash fan myself, but my God, the sheer joy and excitement in that room makes me happy haha

i loved seeing the crowd both shushing themselves and yelling from excitement simultaneously

The “SWORD! SWORD! SWORD!” Gets me every time🤣

25:08 i love how they saw the Piranha Plant attacking and they were like "WHAT?"

Those were the moments that will live forever. Thank God I was there in every Smash reveal. Thank You Sakurai.

I would have loved to have seen the crowd reaction to Sora.

This shouldn’t have brought me to tears

Every time I see the everyone is here trailer I cry. What an amazing time to be a gamer that was

I love how in some fighter reveals, one portion of the room is cheering while the other half are staring at the screen not knowing what the hell they're looking at.

"That's it for this NinDirect." "No actually one more thing" *proceeds to give the now retroactively biggest announcement in Nintendo Switch history EDIT: 26:22 "It's Sephiroth!" man was ahead of its time. it sure was a big hint tho lol

When you realize a crocodile created more hype then one of the best fighting games made in its time

I remember joking abt Joker being in Smash and Sora as well to think that they both made it is insane 😭

Going back to this video just to say I recently visited New York City nintendo building, Speaking to one of the employees he said "Couldn't believe the building was shaking from the banjo kazoo reaction, that was the ONLY reveal that made the entire building shake." I belive em too! I SCREAMED like i was getting murdered with joy when Banjo Kazooie got revealed!!

The Ice Climbers and Snake reveal still give me shivers… No other game is capable of it.

I actually got to go to this and I felt so out of place because I was the oldest person in the room lol...but the enthusiasm was universal....I had the time of my life. Watching this brings back pre pandemic times...good times

I love the crowd slowly figuring out the first announcement

To this day, the crowd chanting for Kirby makes me cry from joy

When joker revealed i was in a supermarket with my mother and the ungodly scream me and a few others around the market let out when joker revealed was amazing, its beautiful seeing how this game has reached so many others.

I finally went to the legendary room for myself a couple weeks back during my New York trip, I could definitely feel the energy in there. ❤️ Hoping it gets loud again sometime real soon!

6:15 this brings me a smile

truly was the best time to be a smash bros fan. the hype was absoutely ridiculous.

5:54 that guy pointing his thumb to the screen always gets me

Imagine this... But with the Steve reveal trailer

I love how everyone went from cheering to booing during Piranha Plant’s trailer.

this is an assault on the ears but it makes my heart just AAAAAAAAAAA

I'm so glad smash ultimate was such a success. It's great getting to looks back at these videos knowing we weren't let down and that all the investment and hype paid off!!

25:53 This scene Makes the Entire Smash Community Unite and Cheer For Kirby.

I'll always love the way the Isabelle trailer started off framed as a new Animal Crossing teaser, then revealed itself to be a Smash character announcement, before turning into an actual new Animal Crossing teaser.

All that honest cheering warms my soul. There's a whole lot of people who enjoy their day to the fullest.

It’s so heart warming just watching people get excited for stuff they really care about

Just the fact that people started cheering the moment the reflection of the smash logo in inkling’s eyes comes into focus just shows how beloved of a series smash bros is

I love seeing people so happy about their favorite franchises

The roster trailer has got to be the best video game trailer of all time. I still get goosebumps

The reaction of people to the “EVERYONE IS HERE,” after they saw Snake appeared was amazing! I loved it! ❤️😁

It's moments like these the prove that gaming brings people together

I loved how everyone cheers for Ice Climbers but no one plays them

4:53 Idk why but im nostalgic at Sonic's reveal

I live only 2 hours away from NYC, and I hope that in 2022, they have this again. I think it’ll feel legendary coming together as fans and cheering on Nintendo, which is my dream

I've come back to watch these a thousand times for serotonin and they never fail to disappoint, I hope these reactions return because they make me so happy

Its amazing to see complete strangers coming together to enjoy and have fun and experience something amazing together as people. Be nice fellows and stay safe!

I was at E3 in LA that year, and the energy was off the charts for Smash. Seeing these reactions just gets your heart racing again!

I love rewatching these it fills me with so much happiness as i remember waiting for all the reveals years ago now and being so hyped every time i saw a new one. It has been 4 years since the game first came out and its been incredible looking back on everything until now

Getting to go back down memory lane for this game, it was something truly special!

4:43 I love how everyone collectively took a full second to process Zelda's new look during her Smash reveal, whether that be from beauty or from literally not recognizing her at first, I can't tell.

The smash reveal trailer is one of the few things that me shed a tear every time i watch it

E3 is tomorrow and there’s no Nintendo NY Reactions... this will be a sad E3 this year :(

The hype for this game was so amazing. I could watch it over and over and I still get emotional somehow.

That Everyone Is Here.. A special moment for Smash fans

Wow, this is just outstanding honesty.

I was saying Booyanetta. I was one of the few that was excited to see her, but was also excited for Cloud, and especially Solid Snake in the game.

"Don't expect too many new characters" said Sakurai. We got 8 new characters, out of them 4 (Ridley, Simon, Isabelle, Incineroar) were brand new characters, not echo. And that was BEFORE twelve DLC characters, all brand new as well. He told us not to expect a lot, and yet he gave us as much as half of Brawl's roster.

Those were the glory days

In tears after the Snake reveal because I miss get togethers

I love how they popped off for every character reveal

I legitimately cried while watching this, someone help me-

I legit cried during this

I was So happy when sora and sepiroth came out

THE SNAKE REVEAL, THE BOOING OF BAYONETTA , I CANT FUKING BREATHE.

i really wanna come here and experience this one day

Oh how I want this to come back 🥲

Man, this is some potent nostalgia

Legitimately come back here a few times a year to get a good cry out. Smash community were some golden years.

"I hope you're not expecting too many new fighters" -Sakurai, 2018 Pretty crazy hearing that. Considering... well, you know... Inkling Daisy Ridley Simon Richter Chrom Dark Samus K Rool Isabelle Ken Incineroar Pirahna Plant Joker Hero Banjo Terry Byleth Min Min Steve Sephiroth Pyra/Mythra Kazuya And 1 more And if you want to extend the list: 3 alt. Dragon Quest Heroes Alex Zombie Enderman Sans* Cuphead* Vault Boy* Bomberman* * = Because the Mii costume is just that damn good.

Back when this game was revealed and i saw these conferences, i had not played a single game from the franchise, but you bet your ass i was so damn happy for these people. Now I'm part of the community, and one can only hope we all get back to being together and being collectively happy about a videogame!

Take me back to the hype for this game. It truly was the greatest time of being a smash fan.

man i love reliving the hype in videos like this.

Do you hear that my friends. This is love man. This is what our love for video games sounds like.

Watching this after the final DLC reveal, I’ll never forget what this time felt like! Thank you Sakurai!

Dude that everyone is here reveals legit almost made me cry. I don't know why, guess I'm just that much of a nerd

There's something deeply moving about seeing so many people be passionately happy about something together

Every time I see this I almost cry from happiness
