I'll need a source for this. In the Developer Direct he states Samus design so far has been based on Super Metroid (2:09 in the Developer Direct).

You don't need a source, you can compare the designs directly:

Brawl:

Zero Mission:

The Zero Mission design is essentially the Super Metroid design with some of the extra lights from the Metroid Prime design added onto it. So for him to say that the design in Brawl is based on Super Metroid isn't necessarily completely wrong. But in this case, I believe Sakurai misspoke, because the design in Brawl is absolutely based on the Zero Mission design, much like Zero Suit Samus and the Norfair stage were.

You know, usually I'd take a dev's word over anything...but there's simply no way SSBB Samus ISN'T based on Zero Mission judging by your images

See, I was expecting something kinda ehh, but then the guy started speaking. Holy shit, the voice and delivery are just too good.

"Boxed cancer". :lol

I keep having dreams of playing the Wii U version.

 

[SuperSah]

I ignored this thread for a full day (out of 3 days so far), and I'm still 3rd in posts?

Is it just me or is this thread getting boring?

 

[-Horizon-]

I keep having dreams of playing the Wii U version.

Did you check the calendar in your dreams? You should, then tell us the date, you might be a prophet.

 

[Caladrius]

Is it just me or is this thread getting boring?

Clearly something horrific is due to happen.

 

[KHlover]

It's Sunday evening. Come back in 11h

 

[EightBitNate]

will we ever get a name change

For Wii U/3DS is pretty boring

It's already confirmed to be the finalized title.

 

[BassForever]

I only really check weekend Smash GAF on the off chance a juicy rumor pops up

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Is it just me or is this thread getting boring?

Well, this week was pretty boring.

Outside of Palkia and Mother Brain (and there's not much to talk about bar the fate of Spear Pillar as a returning stage), it was just clarifying moves.

Do not fear.

Really? That is somewhat disappointing.

Did he give a reason why he went with that title for the 4th Smash entry?

Shit, really? Aww

 

[Jaeger]

It's Sunday, Sah. Lol

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Do not fear.

Yeah, and it's on my birthday.

Only bad thing is it's bittersweet knowing I won't be able to play Tropical Freeze till the 21st.

 

[KHlover]

Maybe because Super Smash Bros. Kerfuffle sounds REALLY stupid?

 

[Anth0ny]

Smash 4

Smash for

Wii U/3DS

Spoiler

its kinda really dumb

 

[Caladrius]

Probably for the verbal pun

Super Smash Bros.4 Wii U

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

 

[Shadow Hog]

Do not fear.

I agree.

 

[SmithnCo]

I'm not convinced they were going for a pun, probably more like "Oh shit we should remind people the WiiU exists."

He never said why, but here's the source.

I'm 99% sure this is it.

 

[EightBitNate]

Super Smash Bros. Tussle

Super Smash Bros. Fray

Super Smash Bros. Free 4 All

That's SSB 4 through 7 right there.

 

[Jagsrock]

surprised they didn't go With NEW Super Smash bros U!

 

[DaBoss]

I think the reason they chose the names is to have different names for both the 3DS and Wii U version while not being confusing to the average consumer.

It doesn't indicate they are the same game, just bluntly says one game is for one platform, while the other game is for the other platform.

I think the big "Wii U" or "3DS" logo that's already on every case would let everyone know that they're on different platforms.

plus small case for 3DS and big case for wii u

but then again, i am not surprised at what confuses people anymore.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Dixie Kong will save us all on Friday.

 

[KHlover]

So you think SSB4 will be the best in the series? I agree.

 

[Popnbake]

Kerfuffle.....it's not that bad

Spoiler

(okay, it is)

but perhaps he can crack that thesaurus open just one more time.

 

[DaBoss]

My point wasn't that they indicate they are on different platforms.

My point was that they want to treat them as different games. Sakurai has already said he considers Smash 4 to be the 3DS version and Smash 5 to be the Wii U version.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Super Smash Bros. Universe was such a great and powerful title.

 

[Green Mamba]

It's worth noting that Melee and Brawl's Japanese names are "DX" and "X" respectively.

Woah, source please. That sounds a bit too odd even for him.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Super Smash Bros. Unity would be cool since... You know, the Nintendo characters have united into one game. Okay that's bad never mind.

Eh, I doubt most consumers will buy each one for the different content. And those who do care would most likely know that the 2 games are slightly different.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Is it just me or is this thread getting boring?

It's not getting boring it's just we're at this point where Pic of the Day is not enough for us. We need more information than just characters in different poses. We need a Direct or even a minute long match between 2 already revealed characters so we can dissect the video so we can go into more in depth discussions.

 

[Kjellson]

Yeah, and it's on my birthday.

Only bad thing is it's bittersweet knowing I won't be able to play Tropical Freeze till the 21st.

Cool! My birthday is on the day after Tropical Freeze's EU release.

I probably won't be able to play too since I'm gonna be broke at the end of the month. Lol.

Please don't tell me this means that the 3DS version will release before the Wii U version? They can't be that stupid, can they?

Spoiler

...Yes, they can.

Source. I don't believe this at all.

It's gonna be hard lol. I remember reading it and thinking that is pretty weird. It was posted on GAF.

Eh, I doubt most consumers will buy each one for the different content. And those who do care would most likely know that the 2 games are slightly different.

Yea, most people won't, but they do want people to buy both versions.

I read an article where Sakurai is quoted saying the exact opposite of what you put.

 

[foxuzamaki]

daboss, he said wiiU s amsh 4 and 3DS is smash 5

Where the hell are you getting this!?

 

[DICKS AHOY]

kid icarus uprising is smash 4, Smash for 3DS is smash 5 and Smash for Wii U is smash 6, but you need to buy the upcoming downloadable $40 'smash 5.5' from the eShop to get the complete

Sakurai: [...] We're now going into versions four and five within the series&#8212;this is only something that's now possible.

Kotaku: When you say four and five, do you mean the 3DS and Wii U versions? Those are separate?

Sakurai: Yeah, exactly.

 

[RomanceDawn]

Where the hell are you getting this!?

He did actually, or maybe the other way around. I don't have a link but he considers one version to be the 4th and the other be the 5th title in the series.

that would imply 3DS=4 and Wii U=5
