We haven't had an Iwata Asks in a while.

He's probably keeping his head down and doesn't want to be seen as fiddling while Rome burns.

So when they sell a few more WiiUs I'll get my Iwata Asks with just David Wise about his work on Tropical Freeze, right?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Didn't get one for Kirby, probably won't get one for Mario Golf

Would be really strange if we didn't get one for MK8 or Tomodachi but I was sure we'd get one for DKC so who knows.

That's accurate to his Prime appearance. Meta Ridley otherwise has some huge differences from Prime; his half-organic head is completely different from the metallic one in Prime.

On a side-note, purple Ridley is the worst thing to be retained from the original Metroid. He wasn't purple in any other Metroid game until Other M, yet because of the Melee intro and Brawl, everyone remembers him as purple.

True, I've just never been a fan of him with 3 fingers.
That said, I'd take Meta Ridley over any other ones in this game. :3

 

[Neiteio]

On a semi-related note, it'd be nice to see the dev diaries again at E3

Ridley's shadow.

 

[Village]

Uh, no, Metroid is infinitely more obscure in the mainstream than Zelda. It's not even close.

No, seriously.

They don't know what ridley is, but a lot of the casual people I talk to know who samus is. She is a lady in a robot suit, or they call her a lady robot. They have some idea.

They have no idea what a anything zelda related is.

There is a lot people that know samus that one would imagine. I never said it was the more popular thing in the world.

Ridley's shadow.

[TheLegendOfCap]

Are people REALLY trying to say that Xenereas not being specified as "Not playable" when first revealed is somehow proof against Sakurai's tendancy to outright deconfirm a character when showing a picture of them that can be construed otherwise?

Like Skull Kid, Phosphora, and Waluigi?

Edit: totally missed the subject change. Sorry guys!

We will get an item explanation

From one revealed in the follow up pics, not the direct!

Fusion had a Purple and Blue Ridley.

I'd play the shit out of one of those.
For as bad as SSE was, the boss battles were amazing. I want more.

Maybe there will be a seperate mode where bosses can battle it out or you can play as a boss.

 

[Caladrius]

Oh, hell.

I like plenty of weird things. I wouldn't demonstrate that while working for a company though.

I never said it wasn't anything but anecdotal. I thought that was implied, you know .. like normal conversation.

Yall need to chill out in this thread. Seriously, its just smash bros.

I've found the opposite. I know plenty of people who know about zelda but none who know about samus. In cosplay you see a lot more of the zelda franchise as well (link is really popular).

who knows most friends when playing with Melee didnt know Samus was a girl. The character selection screen stopped them from calling Link, Zelda. Although they'd still call Ganondorf, Gandalf by accident.

wait, are you seriously arguing Metroid has wider appeal than Zelda?

[Yagami_Sama]

I think that a stage based on the Fatal Frame franchise would be cool so does one based on Luigi's Mansion.

 

[Toxi]

Fusion had a Purple and Blue Ridley.

Fusion's was more shiny blue, although it did change color to be more and more reddish IIRC.

Greninja's turn. Speaking of him, i wonder when sakurai will post his final smash.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I wonder if Fire Emblem will get a new AT this time around?

While seeing them playable would be nice, FEA cast members like Tharja or Henry might suit AT.

i never argued anything.

I said this instance people knew samus, and called link zelda.

Ya'll need to calm down.

Working in the entertainment industry is all about working your weird interests into your work.

Like how SAO went from cool new take on a . hack kind of thing to poorly handled dark subjects for artificial drama and to fulfill someones fetishistic interests in said dark subjects.

Or Dan Snyder and feet

Spoiler

and young people

Or kojima... and everything.

Thats how you know you made it, you get to incorporate things that make your fans uncomfortable into your work and they buy it.

Tharja should be the first sticker revealed.

Anything to spite her fans.

but having a sticker is too generous!

I assumed the thing with him slashing someone in six different directions at the end of his reveal trailer was his final smash.

This guy though:

Doesn’t 4 Pokemon seem a little too many? I thought for sure Mewtwo would be back, but it seems unlikely now

I think someone should tell him pokemon had four characters in Melee, and six characters in Brawl...

I wonder if we'll get a new Luigi's mansion stage. It was one of my favorite Brawl stages.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Why would there be stickers if the only thing they were used for (besides looking at them) was SSE?

I can think of two very good reasons that it should be a 3D trophy.
