Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 6: Final Destination confirmed for not fun

Although I understand why you guys didn't like spoilers in Brawl, I loved waking up every day and seeing something cool revealed, whether it was something minor like a new song, or something amazing like a newcomer. To me, the pre-release hype of Brawl was as much as an event as the release itself. Instead of experiencing the new things over the twenty or thirty hours of gameplay it takes to unlock most of the important things in Brawl, the experience lasted for almost an entire year (at least, it felt like that long to me). I've never been more hyped for a game then I was for Brawl, and I think Sakurai's constant reveals only increased my excitement, not hindered it.
Besides, how often do you see posts on this thread complaining about boring Pictures of the Day? It used to happen constantly, before these last few weeks where the POTD's have been pretty interesting.
Personally, I'm going to have so much fun with the game when it's released that I won't care if I had prior knowledge of certain things or not. So instead of saving everything for the game's release, I'd rather enjoy it now.

At this point, some songs would actually be appreciated by me

Currently listening to Golden Sun music, and I want these remixes when Isaac gets in

Jenna's Battle Theme
Saturos' Theme
Venus Lighthouse
Felix's Battle Theme
Isaac's Battle Theme
Elemental Stars
Mars Lighthouse

Among others
 
On a slightly related note, what is this thread's policy on spoilers? Will we get a new thread to discuss the things that are leaked by fans or revealed as spoilers by Sakurai, or does anything go here. I just worry that someone will gain access to the game early and leak the character roster to this thread.

haha well....we already know at least two characters that are playable right now, but not officially revealed.
 
You sure told me. Doesn't it strike anybody else as odd that we still know next to nothing about the game aside from a few characters, stages, and items? A screenshot of the main menu would be nice.

Nah to be honest. No subspace and sonic being added late. Seems like things are going well.

Considering we saw the game for the first time less than a year ago and Sakurai has said explicitly that he doesn't want to reveal as much pre-release like with Brawl, no.

I doubt the menu is finished, plus I think people would rather see new stages and items than a menu anyway.

Lol hahah

Can't wait till April Fools. That day, I trust nothing, not even a real PoTD, until the next day

Need this to happen
Leaker should be Sakurai himself

This_isnt_Sakurai: so one of my close connections who knows someone on the Namco team working on Smash just gave me a couple of tidbits today. Now you don't have to believe me but I have no reason to lie and my connection has been very trustworthy...

Perfect
Oh, wait, something needs to be added
There we go

That's just how Nintendo rolls, man. I'm sure we'll get all that stuff at E3, honestly. The game should be playable.

It's going to be a November release, most likely. Nintendo loves to wait until the last month to go nuts with media for their new releases.
 
Speculation: we might be getting a Nintendo direct next week.

Three things to conclude

1.Mario kart 8 info is happening next week

2.Theres going to be some Wii U, 3DS eshop maintenance next week

3.It is unusual we didn't get any new characters this month, so there might be another newcomer to make up for that, I'm gonna guess it'll be someone from Fire emblem Awakening in April.

Unless we are getting something new with FE Awakening, why bring that into the Direct? "Oh yeah guys its FE awakening anniversary, here is a character". If there is a new character to represent an anniversary it most likely will be for an old franchise or game.
 
Thanks for the info.

I still think that Sakurai will reveal a Reggie Mii for April Fools day. That could be something that makes headlines ("Reggie Fils-Aime announced for Super Smash Bros.") while pleasing fans who were probably expecting a fake Ridley pic that Sakurai would have mocked us with.

I do honestly slightly wonder if there was an internal delay recently or something. But, the main menu would likely give away game modes, which Sakurai probably wants to individually address. It'll probably be something we don't see until a couple of months before it's out.

That said, I do miss the dojo solely because the daily updates could get so much more indepth. One screenshot a day kind of limits how much you can show about an item, even if he is breaking away from that one per day limit as of recently.

Also, to be fair about your point with there being no character reveals recently, Nintendo hasn't had jack shit to promote this month. Yoshi's the biggest retail release they had this month, and that isn't even out yet in Japan. I know not all of the reveals so far have corresponded to a game release, but enough of them do that it can be understandable that they don't want to waste easy cross-promotion.
 
Master Chief would be an interesting choice if he were ever translated into a Smash character. Since real guns are out of the question, they could always use Promethean, Brute, or Covenant weaponry along with the few UNSC items like grenades. The Needler, scatter-shot, Plasma sword, Hammerzeit (sp?) plasma generades, etc. Imo, he would be like the MvC3 Chris Redfield of Smash with the whole one man army type of play style. Cortana could be an AT, the Ghost would be an awesome item. Think Wario's bike is size. The Mantis would be his Final Smash. hehe. Now that would be fun.

My guess is we might get a veteran or two revealed along with a newcomer with the upcoming direct to make up for the lack of reveals. Here's hoping.
