I really feel like Pac Man would be a weird character... am I alone in that?

I know Game 'n' Watch kind of sets a precedent for that sort of a character, but I still feel like Pac Man is too limited and might work better as an assist trophy...
 
I'm still at a loss as to how she'll be a character considering she's a god and all. Though i'm not opposed to it.

Kid Icarus uprising spoilers:

You fight Palutena and she appears to have plenty of moveset potential, and pit spends the entire game defeating gods.
 
I just want more Life from the next female character.

Rosalina.

They just hang out.

Or some of the characters are actually so strong fighting them is an actual option.
Reach towards the heavens and all that.
 
Welcome to the world of smash. It's a lot of fun, there's way more content than you'd ever imagine (more than most games have combined), and hours of endless fun to be had. Give couch co-op a try if you can, and if not, well, we all hope online is good too!

What does that even mean? More content than most games in existence combined?
 
Right before E3, someone posted their expectations for newcomers to be Animal Crossing Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Mega Man, Little Mac, Pac-Man, and Mii.

Those first three, of course, were right on, even something as specifically named and far out as Wii Fit Trainer. And Little Mac got confirmed later. So naturally people think that the poster knew something and was hiding it as a "prediction."

I forgot about that, they sure were spot on

Oddly phrased. My bad. I meant like, take and handful of games at random and chances are any one smash has more content (as far as unlockables) than all of them combined.

Edit: 5 hours to go.
 
I predict a July/August worldwide release date; the 3DS version will be delayed to December. Both still release this year. There will be at least one new unexpected character reveal today.
 
That's why I have a feeling that we will see mii this direct so they can explain more on the feature.

Edited: I could see Snake and Mii.
 
Im gonna change my newcomer prediction. If we only get one newcomer, my bets on Mii. Mii is basically a lock for the game, and if they have any customization options, a direct would doubtless be the best way to explain and showcase them. Plus, we've seen tons of Mii stuff lately, so it wouldn't be completely out of the blue like someone like Pacman.

If we get two newcomers, Palutena.
 
Rosalina.

I keep forgetting Rosalina is a goddess.
she seems so down to earth ;3

Makes me wonder why Madoka isn't a newcomer yet.
 
We're probably going to get 2 trailers - one at the start, one at the end. I imagine the Miis are gonna be the opener, because they're new and might need some explanation.

The second trailer is likely gonna happen as closer, and either going to be a straight forward newcomer (e.g. Palutena), or a returning character that is trailer-worthy; in particular Snake or Mewtwo.
 
I can confirm* that there will be a special download made available after the Direct. It will be a new Streetpass puzzle.





*that this is a lie

Mii might sound like a lot of fun to people, and maybe I'll even love it if/when it's announced... but right now, to me personally, it sounds like the most boring character idea since Wii Fit Trainer (which also seemed bonkers to me...)
 
Reporting in to the Hype train here's my wish list
Lucina
Shulk
Takamaru
Palutena

Voice chat in online co-op
An awesome collector's edition that goes all out on extras
July release date

What I want but wont get The subspace emissary 2 or something similar with lots of fan service
 
You're right. Female Marth in every way would be better than Chrom.

Come on guys, either one would be great! Although, a female FE rep would be cool too, since we haven't had one yet. And she'd be one of the only women in the game who doesn't a) fight with a frying pan (I guess Peach belongs in the kitchen?...) or b) wear skintight clothing (ZSS and Wii Fit Trainer).
 
If Nintendo can get this game out by Summer, then I think they'll have some pretty decent momentum for the year after MK8. They can't afford to keep going x amount of months without a big release.

what does this mean

Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS 'launch window' to be revealed in tonight's Direct

release date


Oh god, not this again....launch window leads me to believe it DEFINITELY will not be summer. If anything, they'll have a winter 2014 launch window, which gives them the option of delaying into early 2015.
