Yep. There are two hidden bonus in Sakurai's messages this week that people could overlooked.
1. 3D mode is confirmed for 3DS since I haven't heard that they would confirm 3D for Smash.
2. Pikmins finally got spotted in 3DS screen.

Probably trying to get us hyped for the April Fools direct. Cue Anthony Higgs, Isaac, Takamaru, Chrom & Lucina, Ridley, Mewtwo, Captain Syrup, Samurai Goroh and Pichu Bros. getting announced for Smash.
Sakurai shows up after and says "two of these newcomers are real. Can you figure out which? (laughs)"

Well obviously. How else will they show his final smash?
She is pretty cute.

Spoiler: The game isn't close to coming out whether they reveal the entire roster tonight or not.
It is most likely their Fall game.
No doubt which leaves me wondering what they'll have planned between Mario Kart and Smash. Bayonetta 2? Maybe Yarn Yoshi will reappear.
Wasn't Hyrule Warriors slated for a summer release?
The age of gritty Nintendo lol.
Any time in 2014 is close enough for me
That totally flew over my head. I'm not sure about the release date in NA/EU.
All they needed was to provide the Cucco with a gun à la shadow the hedgehog and they would have create a masterpiece.

In Japan, Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2 are both summer releases. I would bet NOA is planning another completely dry summer with maybe a 3DS tentpole and then are going to try relaunching the Wii U again starting August with titles that should have come out worldwide months prior.
That's what I'm afraid of. I wouldn't be surprised, just sad.

I absolutely expect it, especially since Bayonetta and Hyrule Warriors both have release windows in Japan but not in America. Same Nintendo Direct, except our footage just says 2014.
I've been meaning to make a thread for it, but yeah, NOA is most likely just going to punt summer releases again and then wonder why no one is buying games in August.

Woah really? Is that in the Japanese comment? Not being sarcastic, I didn't get that from the English caption.
It's from a previous POTD comment: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKlpGiFjOQ
"Pic of the day. Here's a comparison of characters with and without their outlines on the 3DS version. They also give off a different impression in 3D, so customize the look however you like."
That seems most likely, but you'd think they'd be scrambling like mad to at least make Hyrule Warriors happen by summer. That just seems like such a no-brainer in the middle of a drought.

Ooooh okay I remember that now. Has it been confirmed that the 3DS version will be 60 fps? If so I assume that'd be with 3D off?

I really don't like having no indication of when this game is going to be released. I kinda miss the more substantial Dojo site where you could go back and refer to things and everything was organised. We're nearing a year since the game was announced with no release date or window just a vague "2014, which is agonisingly tedious right now.
For Nintendo games and Smash Bros especially, games aren't ever released within 12 months of their announcement anyway but I'm just hoping that E3 gives us a solid date.
I'm sure we'll be getting something at E3 anyway. Until MK is released my Wii U is pretty much my "Netflix Machine". One of the best moment of the months leading up to Brawl was the blowout of information from the demo events Nintendo hosted and the YouTube videos people took in secret to showcase stuff like Final Smashes.

Honestly I prefer not having a release date to the soul-crushing agony of those two delay announcements.

If I had my way Smash info wouldn't be released until a month before the game drops. That way we'd get info and a release date.
A drought can be handwaved with a "We failed to provide a steady of flow of games, but this will be rectified in the future" and we all know it will be.
Sudden Nintendo Direct in the month of ____
Iwata: You may be wondering when we will release Smash 4 for Wii U and 3DS. I would like to happily announce that it will be available for download after this Direct. Enjoy.

All I need is Mario Kart 8 to get me through the drought.
Horizon that would be an awesome Direct. But yeah servers would self destruct.

The delays 'were' soul crushing, but, at least we had something to look forward to and count down the days until. Right now we're pissing in the dark and when it got delayed it was kinda like "Well that sucks, but come [insert date here] I am BUYING you muthafucka!".
I'm not trying to sound entitled but I'm antsy and excited. Once we start seeing stuff like box art or store listing I MAY explode.

No offense, but that's stupid for marketing logic. You need few months to release good amount of informations before you release the game. From my knowledge, every fighting games did that.
Sakurai released information few months before Melee got released to the public because there are small contents and characters that he want to went over with the audiences.
Sakurai decided to do Super Smash Bros Dojo 6 months and half before the release because there are many contents to go over with but they had to delay the game so they had to stalling with some kind of information.
Sakurai probably want to please the audience so that's why we had daily image way early this time. People can be impatience sometime with informations. It don't bothered me because it's fun to see what Sakurai want to show us with the pictures.
Take a good look at Street Fighter and Marvel Vs. Capcom, they release informations for months, just same as Sakurai and his games.
Edited:
Summary: You really need more than a month to hyping up the biggest hit video game franchise. I can't even think of any biggest franchise that only release a a release date and informations one month before their release date.
Edited 2: I'm going to post the full list of characters reveals for last 3 games. Hopefully it would make the point for me.

I can't agree more. I don't need a definite Smash 4 release date just as long as it does, in fact, come out in 2014 as promised.
I don't see why they wouldn't, at the very least, release every single past stage as DLC somewhere down the line. It's be easy money, and they could release them for quite cheap since there's not a lot of work to be done on them.
I also really hope that sometime they release every 3DS version stage as HD-remastered DLC for the Wii-U version, but that's probably less likely to happen. :'s

I feel like life will be so much better once we have a new Smash. It'll feel good to play other games knowing that the moment they get boring, we'll have a sexy new Smash to fall back on.
It's comforting really :]

It's more likely to be slow, but I don't think it will bother me that much since I probably would play Mario Kart 8, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, and other games that I'm behind in.
When Brawl and Mario Kart Wii's servers shut down so I think it would help me to focus on my backlog much better. I burned most of my free time on Brawl and Project M.
Plausible release date:
May - Mario Kart 8
July/Aug - Hyrule Warrior
Sept/Oct - Bayonetta
Nov/Dec - Smash Bros
I'm pretty sure that 7 to 8 months waiting for Smash wouldn't be that bad since we have daily images and other games to deal with.
I honestly don't believe that will be a july/august release, based on the limited amount of information we have on it so far. I'm guessing october at the earliest, of not "zelda november"

I'm actually more pumped for Mario Kart 8 at this point since we'll be getting info next week on it and have a release date. Not only that but now the GBA games are coming.

Yeah, I can see that we are getting close to E3 dates but it haven't hit me yet tho. I guess I could say that I'm anticipating for April Direct if they are going to release one rather than for E3. I guess I could get hype for E3 when we are getting very close to the date like a month before or so.

Speaking of which, I'm pretty hyped for this. Playing Super Mario Kart and Metroid Fusion is going to be really fun, especially with Metroid since I've never played it.

I'm confused by the hate as well. There's no accounting for taste, and people preferring other types stages is totally fine, but I personally like them, glad to see this one!

Where's the source that says Hyrule Warrior will be released in summer?
What I found from Nintendo says it's an 2014 title in JP/NA/EU.

Yeah Fusion looks fun! Being playing Super Metroid this week.
Didn't it says summer 2014 in the JP Direct but just 2014 for US/EU?
Weird...
Edit : yep, at the end of the trailer it did say summer 2014 in the December Japanese Nintendo Direct.

Fusion is great, the best 2D Metroid in my honest opinion.
Speaking of, I hope that SSB4 Samus has the actual Fusion suit as an alternate costume and not just the colors of it.
