Pic of the day. The twin grannies, Kotake and Koume, appear in Gerudo Valley! They're definitely up to no good.

I'm not sure that anyone here knows how angry this makes me.
Twinrova, and Skull Kid are 2 of my favorite Zelda characters of all time.

I want to play as them.
 
I don't think we've seen Wii u exclusive stages, or I'm too tired to think

Wii u can't catch a break


I think past stages will be exclusive to the Wii u version
 
I'm still confused if stage hazard/characters count towards the weekly character toll.

Cause aside from the Alfonzo/Viridi week we've had either an assist or a character every week since Skull Kid.

Be happy these great characters are in the game at all because there is no way in hell they ever would have made the roster(Twinrova anyways)...

As in stages based on Wii U games or just stages not found in the 3DS version? Because Pikmin 3 stage is a Wii U game and every stage bar Battle Field and the Boxing Ring are exclusive.

Clearly they weren't playable to make sure there was a spot available for another witch instead!

Oh, wait.

:/. Being an assist trophy is no better than being a playable character as far as i'm concerned. In fact it's worse because it just teases you even more. Not sure why it would be unreasonable to ever hope for skullkid to be playable or why you say there is no way in hell that would happen. They could use another villain and skullkid would be very unique.
 
I hope Midna gets referenced in this game somehow. She was the best Link sidekick by far. Red Lion comes close though, but he was in the WW stage in Brawl so he already got his Smash appearance.
 
Excellent update! I'm pretty sure that stage would be so much fun to play on.

I hope this doesn't mean that Gerudo Valley is being excluded from the Wii U version. Ocarina of Time was a console game before it was on the portable!

I hope for Temple Stage to return once again!

I wonder what they'll do for a series like Pikmin that's never had a game on a handheld. Unique stage or just share the one they have between the two versions.

Just because you can cone up with a moveset for a character doesn't mean they'd make sense as one. Skull kid is not a good representative of the zelda franchise itself. Assist trophies are only teases for people who feel entitled to characters. They are an exciting addition and join the chaos. They have voice clips and unique animations to go with them. They are TREAT not a freaking troll.
 
I don't know if I've said it in this thread, but I think it should be mentioned that Sakurai and co have been doing a good job making stages based on actual places in the series. Nearly all of hem can be found in-game some where in some form.

Previous games have had many stages based on in-game locations, but not as many as this.

Probably have a stage based on earlier Pikmin games. At least I hope. The Brawl Pikmin stage wasn't that great, though it is cool they got many things in it found in the series.

On 3DS, you'll get a stage based on the data transfer animation.

(I jest, but that could actually be quite cool :-)

Yeah, the layout and rain mechanic was annoying, but the Bulborb was one of my favorite stage hazards/elements in the entire game. Especially when you'd land on top and it would just eat you anyways.

A stage where the platforms are being carried by pikmin hordes would be amazing!

Yeah, they feel like you are fighting in the world rather than on a magical platform on a game themed backdrop.
 
TrueBlue is still leading the prediction contest since he correctly guessed Little Mac and Diddy Kong. I seriously doubt that this month's reveals would change anything.

It's funny how the wii U version will end up looking a lot better when you play it, but the 3DS version will look a lot worse probably.
Click to expand...
Why so? From the few clips I've seen in motion, it looked a lot better than I expected. The 3D effect added onto that... I don't see why it would look worse, at least.
 
I knew the decission of making exclusive stages was a bad idea. I want to see all the stages in all its HD glory, with a good sound system. 3DS isn't going to help on that.

As they have shown gerudo's valley stage hazards very late after the stage I hope the Punch-Out!! ring has boxers doing a special and then going out of the ring as Hazards. Would love to see Don Flamenco, Super Macho Man, King Hippo, Glass Joe... in hd and saying funny things before making an attack.

Awesome! I always wanted Koume & Kotake to be playable -- a levitating, fire-and-ice-themed version of the Ice Climbers, with a Sheik-style Down B transformation into a single entity, Twinrova. However, I never realistically expected it to happen, so I'm still pleased to see them in the 3DS version as a stage hazard on Gerudo Valley. This also means we'll likely get a trophy of them.

It looks like they cast fire on the west side of the valley, and that the bridge collapses, if that previous screen is any indication. Perhaps the other side is slick with ice. Hmm... And as others have noted, this means their theme is likely in the game, which is great.

Also, Koume & Kotake are the surrogate mothers of Ganondorf, so we're one step closer to the King of Thieves. ;-)
 
Koume and Kotake are my favorite bosses in Ocarina of Time, so I am pleased they're in the Gerudo Valley Stage. I still don't really have a desire to get the 3DS version though.

Punch Out boxer stage hazards make it GOTF. Also, totally should be Glass Joe doing his NES taunt, complete with 8 bit sound effect, and then landing a punch that does nothing.

Oh I'm only talking about how on the 3DS the [character] models look really swell up close, but while playing you won't ever see em that way.


In contrast we've got some weeeird and bad wiiu stuff up close (DK skin, some odd clipping errors) that won't be noticable -at all- on a regular zoom level.


I agree both look amazing in motion.
 
I'm not sure if anyone ever bothers to read these "I had a Smash dream!" posts but what the hell: I had a dream about HAVING a Smash dream.

In the dream within a dream, Sakurai uploaded two pics of the day in quick succession, both being about Samus, and then finally uploaded a video confirming a BUNCH of veterans: Sheik, Zero Suit Samus (whose name had changed to... something), I think Snake and Ganondorf too. Everyone was like: wow, what the hell, this is a game changer, a video without a Direct and a bunch of veterans for no reason?

Then, without a video, a newcomer on the site: Bowser Jr. A video was uploaded after the fact, but the page on the website was first... he actually looked pretty cool, slower and lighter than I expected, but his Neutral B was summoning Mario bad guys (the Koopalings were the focus, but I imagine Goombas and Koopas would be more common), and his Down B was a post in the ground that would either chain up stage hazards/other "summons" or produce a Chain Chomp. The Chain Chomp was SUPER powerful and would stay until someone broke the post, but it could also attack the player who planted it, so it was a risk-reward sort of thing.

Anyways, the stage that a lot of the second video was on seemed to be based on A Link Between Worlds, with a chunk of Death Mountain and one of those pillars on the right side. A small stage. So, when I woke up - in the dream - and went on GAF to check if it was real, everyone was talking about the pic of the day, which wasn't all of that crazy stuff but just Mario... on that same stage. Which I found super odd and semi-prophetic.

And then I ACTUALLY woke up and that wasn't true either. Which was sad.
