Home-Run Bat evolution:

Just makes me like it all the more.

not gonna lie the new one is kinda booty

I always liked how the bat always looked like a normal ass wooden bat
 
It seems they're giving items a more Smash-related toon-y look.

Also, does this mean Olimar's final smash is changed? It could I guess, but it may not mean anything regarding his final smash at all.

Besides Samus' huge ass cannon, we haven't seen anyone's final smashes, so that's all still up in the air.

Edit: Oh and I guess Wii Fit Trainer's little colored sprites, I forgot about that.

Just makes me like it all the more. Even better that it looks distinct from Ness's.

The design is good and bad. It definitely stands out more with the colors but it looks more like a battle club with +3 attack and speed or something. I think I enjoy throwing the bat to get the kill someone almost more than getting the one hit KO. Lol
 
I was impartial at first but now I really like the new bat design!

Which "Smash-Only" items have we seen other than the Ray Gun and the Bat?

Because both of those now have "Smash Branding" associated with them and that makes it pretty awesome. As long as it stays consistent that's a pretty cool thing to do.
 
Fuck nooooo

Tonight's screenshot will be nothing. Diddy will be announced during the Direct tomorrow.

The palutena dream is dead :(
 
That could meant anything

Diddy and Dixie Team
Dixie and Kiddy Team
Dixie and Cranky Team
King K Kool
Diddy Kong


I wouldn't get hype unless Japanese Direct got confirmed as well.
 
Huh, I just noticed Link swings from a left-handed stance

Did he always do that/do other characters swing right-handed?
Well, Link is left-handed in pretty much every non-Wii Zelda game, so it only makes sense that this detail would carry over.

I haven't paid enough attention to the other swordsmen to say one way or another, though.
 
Uhh...

Direct tomorrow.

But what about Diddy?

Fuck nooooo

Tonight's screenshot will be nothing. Diddy will be announced during the Direct tomorrow.

The palutena dream is dead :(


Nintendo Direct cometh

*crosses fingers for 3DS footage knowing it won't even happen...*

So yeah. That new Direct certainly throws a wrench into things. The chances for a newcomer DK character has just risen a bunch.

Sorry, Palutena.

It's when you give up on the dream that it truly dies.
 
There hasn't been one announced for Japan yet.

It's NA/EU so far.

It is also happening later than normal. 5PM EST/10PM GMT.

there's a European Nintendo Direct too

The fact that it's really late is leading me to believe there is no Japan one.

I'm probably wrong, but when Japan has a direct involved it's usually at 7AMPST/10AMPST right?

EU/NA Directs without Japan have happened before, I believe. Nothing new is shown in these, most of the time, just release dates.
 
With the new designs on the Ray Gun and the bat I'm expecting to see a lot of redesigns on the Smash original items.

Yup, looks like they're theming the smash original items so that they aren't confused with the items that come from established franchises.


Black Red and Yellow. I suspect other items will have this same color theme. Edit: They also have the smash logo on them as well, where they didn't have it previously, lending credence to my suspicions. They're themed to let players know they come from smash bros and not from zelda or mario or whatever.

  • Beam Sword
  • Bumper
  • Motion Sensor Bomb (debatably from goldeneye)
  • Cracker Launcher
  • Assist Trophy Stand
  • Barrels and crates?

It's interesting that the capsule was not recolored. Maybe because it's not an offensive item, but just a container.


Edit: Thank you nintendo direct for derailing my post!
 
They always announce the Japanese direct later. It's gonna happen. This is the bi monthly direct. They need to pimp DKC anyways.
