I only hope for Wonder-Red. It just makes perfect sense.

I love Pit's voice in Uprising. He's incredibly upbeat and enthusiastic most of the game -- in keeping with the spirit of fun and adventure -- but he does know how to sound urgent or sad when the script calls for it.

Now Palutena... I can listen to that voice all day. (Which is funny, since she's the same person who voices Lightning in FFXIII, where she sounds so emotionless. Different script, I know.)

When Palutena tells Pit not to think naughty thoughts... <3

Agree with all of this. KIU voice acting in general is top tier I think.

Except once he hits mid fifties he'll suddenly morph into the 10,000 year old basketcase on wheels Lopan from Big Trouble In Little China.

Haha. You don't happen to have green eyes by any chance?

 

[cafemomo]

Apparently, Super Smash Bros. is delayed to 2015, and the Direct tomorrow is to soften the blow.

nah that 2015 title will probably be Super Smash Bros: Arcade Turbo Edition

Doesn't miyamoto disprove this.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Historically, Nintendo has never tried to soften the blow of a delay

They'll just casually announce a date later than people thought for the first time or hide it somewhere else

Keep that shit to yourself.

 

[BlackJace]

A delay would be surprising and disappointing, as I thought that getting Namco on board was to ensure a 2014 release.

I think it's very unlikely that the rumor is correct, though.

 

[GregLombardi]

Can someone tell me if there's going to be a youtube stream link in advance? I've heard that's the only one that doesn't cut out like the Nintendo Directs always do.

Smash Bros 6

Is this real life?

 

[Andrew.]

Haha. You don't happen to have green eyes by any chance?

Nope!

Doesn't miyamoto disprove this.

Who's Miyamoto

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Smash Bros 6

Dat QoL

Super smAsh Bros Non wEarable edition

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

"The deed is done."

*bows*

my lord!

 

[CriterionDog]

I cannot wait for this direct! Is it a 30 minute or hour direct? I have a class that starts at 4 pst tomorrow, so I should be able to catch most of it live!

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm not sure if we've heard how long it will be.

 

[TheChits]

Probably around 20 minutes

My bingo card. I took a lot of risks with it, I highly doubt I will make bingo.

 

[Kissenkopf]

Probably referring to Soraya Song's tweet that I had mentioned earlier, stating she is looking forward to the next Smash Bros.

https://twitter.com/sorayasaga/status/452422712183386112

Ah, okay. Thanks. So she is just a fan of the smash bros. series...of course. Just a simple coincidence with the direct tomorrow.

 

[Neiteio]

Eh, if they need to delay the game to make it better, no big deal.

 

[Goldenmoney]

Hopefully it's just dlc for 2015, and the game still releases holiday 2014.

Based Soraya pls

gimme dat Xenoblade goodness in mah Smash Bros

 

[TrueBlue]

You know what? I just got Kid Icarus a few days ago and I'm loving it.

but I guess my soul is just a dried up husk or whatever because the very first thing I did was

- boot up the game
- start up campaign
- "The people are celebrating the return of the goddess Palutena!" HOLD THE DAMN PHONE, GOOD LORD SON
- exit campaign
- options
- voice acting volume 0%
- top screen subtitles

 

[Some Nobody]

I'm hoping that's not the case <_<;

Unless Nintendo is gonna throw us Bayonetta 2 or X before Smash. I'm tired of these silly droughts, I just picked up Donkey Kong the other day so I have that to tide me over (I need to beat the other games Wonderful 101 & Pikmin 3 still lol...)

Give up on this as a 2014 thing.

Apparently, Super Smash Bros. is delayed to 2015, and the Direct tomorrow is to soften the blow.

More likely, since the Wii U and 3DS versions DO count as the 4th and 5th iterations, there possibly IS a Smash 6. But I don't think it'll be what we traditionally think of as Smash.

And this is probably why Smash is getting a Direct.

 

[starwarsfan541]

What have we done.

At the same time it says Smash Bros 6 maybe its an arcade port?

Doesnt Bandai-Namco do the Mario Kart Racing Games?

 

[Platy]

How can you delay a game 8 months before the release ?

 

[Moondrop]

Everyone requesting Shulk instead of Dunban or Riki needs to reevaluate things.

Wasn't Sonic revealed right alongside one of Brawl's delays?

 

[Neiteio]

How can you delay a game 8 months before the release ?

By anticipating a workload that would exceed the release window (2014), necessitate a 2015 release (thus delayed), and committing to it?

 

[Poltergust]

How can you delay a game 8 months before the release ?

You ask this after what happened with Brawl?

 

[Astorgh]

You ask this after what happened with Brawl?

It was dated for a december release and it got delayed two months before. I still think is too early to announce a delay.

 

[OMG Aero]

My bingo card. I took a lot of risks with it, I highly doubt I will make bingo.

I like the way you think, friend.

 

[Neiteio]

Sakurai was probably running the numbers and realized, "Man, there's no way we can optimize the data in time to include the entire soundtrack of Tropical Freeze along with David Wise renditions of every theme to every other game ever... in time for 2014. We must delay!"

 

[KingSnake]

Come on, this is getting ridiculous.

First of all, Nintendo doesn't have to announce a possible delay until November and in 8 months a lot can happen, including overcoming whatever severe delays in development happened. Secondly, they won't do a special SSB Nintendo Direct specially to bring attention on a game that will be delayed. They announced DKC:TF delay as a side news in a bi-monthly Nintendo Direct.

Plus, SSB6 is obviously the QoL version.

All those rumors and jumping to conclusion are kinda depressing :'(

Oh, it's too early? I was under the impression that he was thinking it was too late lol.

And this is probably why Smash is getting a Direct.

Released on systems other than Nintendo manufactured ones. New initiative by Nintendo.

Spoiler

Mobile.

 

[unknownstranger]

Is this gonna be streamed on Twitch?

 

[Neiteio]

I hope tomorrow they reveal Generic Japanese Videogame Executive

Neutral Special -- Eat fish and cigarettes

Forward Special -- BULLET TRAIN

Down Special -- Use bidet while calling seldom-seen family from office

Up Special -- Ascend in a ray of light into a giant robot

 

[Platy]

I am the only one asking where is the FIVE version of smash bros ?

 

[Neiteio]

I am the only one asking where is the FIVE version of smash bros ?

The idea is the WiiU and 3DS versions would be counted separately -- one is 4, the other is 5. Maybe they refer to them that way for shorthand on the development side.

 

[starwarsfan541]

3DS and wii u as separate = 4 and 5

Sakurai...)We're now going into versions four and five within the series—this is only something that's now possible.

 

[PadWarrior]

If you could pick one newcomer and veteran for tomorrow, who would it be?
For me: Palutena and Captain Falcon.

 

[Drago]

Chibi-Robo and Mewtwo or Snake

The only newcomer left that I'd really love to see in the game and two vets I want to return that I'm not sure will (though I am fairly confident about Snake)

 

[Azure J]

Takamaru and C. Falcon.

Spoiler

Mike Jones and Ike with a new sword wave attack

 

[10k]

My hopes:

Chrom replaces Ike
Lucina added for more female content
Shulk or the main character from X to bring hype for the release of X (kind of like how Raiden was in PSABR 3 months before MGR:R release) or both
Wonder Red
Bayonetta

 

[Neiteio]

Oh wow, so Sakurai even calls the WiiU and 3DS versions "4" and "5."

Guess that makes SSB6 something else entirely. Arcade version?

 

[MLH]

Sakurai was probably running the numbers and realized, "Man, there's no way we can optimize the data in time to include the entire soundtrack of Tropical Freeze along with David Wise renditions of every theme to every other game ever... in time for 2014. We must delay!"

Well a delay for that would be acceptable
<3 David Wise.


I don't think Super Smash Bros. U & 3DS are going to be delayed. It'll a be 2014 game, even if Iwata has to crack the whip himself!
Seriously though, hopefully the dev staff don't feel too pressured, I know Sakurai has had some wrist/ (elbow?) pain that has slowed him down, I would rather he took it easy and have enjoyable memories of the development rather than an association with pain.
