Neat fact about Orne: Despite having an 8-bit chiptune theme that plays when he appears, he's an all-original monster made specifically for Kid Icarus Uprising. They actually made his tune sound like a throwback, even though he never appeared in any 8-bit games.

 

[Jintor]

But he's great for children's birthday parties!

Mario Golf comes out tomorrow in Japan.

Surprise Kamek reveal.

Edit: Actually thinking about it, he'd made a kickass assist trophy. Flies over the stage and sprinkles his magic dust that makes the player that summoned him giant.

Metal Mario.

You'll get more Waluigi and love it. Waaaaaaaah

Real answer.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Captain Falcon in Mario Golf confirmed

#TeamWario

Nope. It's actually out today in Japan, tomorrow US & EU.

 

[Kinsei]

I'm hoping the Orne is a stage hazard, and doesn't appear in Smash Run. There are already a bunch of KI:U enemies, and every new one lowers the chances of Clubberskull getting in.

I hope it's in Smash Run rather than on the KI:U stage. Because insta kill stage hazards are terrible and who cares about Smash Run?

Pic of the day. The menacing foe, Orne! It inflicts devastating damage--it's even more powerful than the Ultimate Chimera in the last game. RUNNN!!

Doooooooomed

 

[RagnarokX]

Ornes sure were annoying in KIU.

 

[BassForever]

Ornes sure were annoying in KIU.

LOL

 

[Regulus Tera]

I don't get it.

 

[NotLiquid]

I have no idea where this is from but the more I look at it the funnier it is to me.

 

[Azure J]

Orne confirmation is great if the music comes with it as well. Also dat gif. :lol

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Damn, Chef Ramsay would totally be my main... they didn't spell it right.

 

[Qurupeke]

This is so great. lol

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Nope. It's actually out today in Japan, tomorrow US & EU.

Whoops, I misread the wikipedia article.

At this point, I'm starting to assume we won't even get veteran reveals until E3. I'm expecting quite the blowout at E3 though. A returning veteran montage would be pretty exciting.

 

[DaBoss]

Due to that small red portion at the bottom-left, I think this could either be an assist trophy or a stage hazard on the Reset Bomb Forest after the reset bomb hit.

And he refers to the Ultimate Chimera, so it is making me think it is more likely a stage hazard.

 

[BassForever]

Pretty sure its a stage hazard and its probably more dangerous then the chimera as it can float and move around more of the screen

 

[Banjotanooki]

Ornes sure were annoying in KIU.

LOL, this is gonna turn into a story by the time the game comes out.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Pic of the day. The menacing foe, Orne! It inflicts devastating damage--it's even more powerful than the Ultimate Chimera in the last game. RUNNN!!

I immediately yelled out "f*** this guy" as soon I saw this.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I wonder if it's a KIU stage hazard or in Smash Run. Needs to have the music too.

Also yay no more Star Fox jokes on me :3

 

[MrSaturn99]

dat ultimate chimera namedrop

reveal to me my boys

 

[Kurtofan]

Metaknight tomorrow?!!

 

[Brainfreeze]

And he refers to the Ultimate Chimera, so it is making me think it is more likely a stage hazard.

The fact he's comparing it to New Pork City makes me think he'll appear on Palutena's temple. Anything's possible though.

 

[Kurtofan]

Considering it's a 3DS screenshot I doubt it.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Metaknight tomorrow?!!

I would like to get it over with but I seriously doubt it since it's America release date.

The fact he's comparing it to New Pork City makes me think he'll appear on Palutena's temple. Anything's possible though.

Your username actually fit you. Brainfreeze on the fact that it's 3DS screenshot.

 

[-Horizon-]

I have no idea where this is from but the more I look at it the funnier it is to me.

So Ridley is the Exodia of Smash.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Metaknight tomorrow?!!

Even better. Galacta Knight. 3 times faster and 5 times more powerful.

 

[Neiteio]

Made this 1600x900 wallpaper with the wallpaper maker at that fan site compiling the Miiverse updates. Staggered the newcomers for a sort of pyramid setup, with extra space on the left for a row and a half of icons.

Uploaded to abload.de:

They look so lovely together...

Looking forward to the next six newcomers! (Palutena, Chrom, Shulk, Mii, Chorus Men, and Pac-Man, perhaps?)

 

[SuperSah]

But is he a hazard or a Smash Run enemy?

I'm going guess the latter.

 

[Tom_Cody]

I looked up Orne's idol description in Kid Icarus Uprising:

"These vengeful ghosts seem to be formed from concentrated misery and regret. All who come into contact with Orne have their minds shattered, with death following shortly thereafter. They are attracted to the life force of their enemies."

Orne sounds like a nice guy!

lol

 

[MagiusNecros]

Can Pit's Final Smash kill Orne's? The 3ST in the game could kill them with Light Arrows.

 

[KHlover]

But is he a hazard or a Smash Run enemy?

I'm going guess the latter.

Orne OP nerf nao!

Kills you in one hit and is even harder to avoid in a 2D space.

Invincible and only disappears after you killed every other enemy in the room.

I just imagined an Orne and about ten of those small yellow stickman enemies from SSE in a closed challenge room in Smash Run. GG

 

[emb]

But is he a hazard or a Smash Run enemy?

I'm going guess the latter.

Sakurai didn't explicitly say he isn't playable. He wouldn't tease us like this just to make him a generic stage hazard/enemy. When the comment says 'foe' it's just talking from Mario's perspective in the shot.

I'm gonna main Orne, basically.

 

[Neiteio]

With the information we have currently, I'm going to say Orne is a Smash Run enemy. None of the Underworld Army appeared in the Reset Bomb Forest, so I doubt he'd be a stage hazard there.

That being said, I could totally see there being a second Kid Icarus stage in the 3DS version -- maybe the Reaper Fortress, or Medusa's Castle. In which case, Orne would totally fit in as a stage hazard.

Speaking of stages, how about this for the WiiU Donkey Kong stage, complete with new arrangements of the Rocket Barrel theme and DKC2's Mining Melancholy and Disco Train:

 

[Boss Doggie]

Is there an official art for Male WFT?

 

[Neiteio]

Is there an official art for Male WFT?

That chiseled masculine stud-muffin?

 

[georly]

You guys think we'll get a reveal this month, or will it be like march leading into april's direct? Will we just get extra vet reveals at E3?

Non-Secret Veterans remaining:

• Ice Climbers (2 smash games)
• Metaknight
• Wario
• Lucas
• Ike

Secret Veterans (unlockable in at least 1 version of smash):

• Ganondorf (unlockable two games)
• Falco (unlockable two games)
• Game and Watch (unlockable two games)
• Jigglypuff (unlockable 3 games)
• Captain Falcon (unlockable two games)
• Ness (unlockable two games)
• Rob
• Wolf

Just because Ice climbers have been around the longest, I'm pulling for them, personally. That said, Kirby comes out tomorrow in US, so maybe metaknight.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

^Has Sakurai announced a character to coincide with a western release of a game yet? I feel like he has once, but my memory is failing me and I don't feel like researching it.

Tropical Freeze, but that was probably a special case.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

-Ike is cut
-Ganondorf becomes an amalgam between his and Ike's moveset as a heavy swordsman

Looks like WFT is about to kick Rosalina in the back of the head.

 

[Neiteio]

Running around Palutena's Temple with this playing in the background (confirmed in Direct) will be hype as hype can be.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Countdown to Nintendo's Direct Event, etc.



Also we only have 19 more days until the server for Brawl getting shut down.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I only like musclefurs :x

IMO Ike, Lucas, and Wolf are entirely expendable.

Roy → Ike → Luncina (or maybe Chrom). I will be crushed if we don't get a FE:A character, though it's possible that Lucina will only be in as a costume/skin for Marth.

Mother 3 came out 8 years ago and only in Japan. Ness is by far the more iconic character from that franchise, though I agree that he could likely remain secret.

Wolf I mention only because I hate that line of characters.

 

[Lynq]

Hey guys,

could someone tell me what differences there will be between both version? I know about graphics of course and different stages, but I'm asking about gameplay. Can we say both game will be identical gameplay-wise?
