I'm thinking a solid 3 newcomers (pac-man fo sho), and maybe a couple returning veterans.
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
Well, I DID just say it was primarily for the 3DS version...
It's pretty nice, but...only 39 characters?
Character icons will obviously be on the screen for WiiU, but the rules could be on the pad I guess, to make it slightly faster.

I hope it's going to be 2-3 newcomer reveals, but I have a gut feeling we'll only get one. I know everyone is thinking Pac-Man (and it is pretty likely), but I just don't see that generating much hype. Honestly, they can't really show anything that'll top the excitement of Mega Man.
Aside from newcomers, I'm hoping to have a few veteran reveals. I feel like there's a pretty good chance we'll have seen Wario before E3 (Mario Kart maybe?), but I would love to see Ness or Captain Falcon available for the tournament.

We'll only get 1 newcomer, at most. We might get a couple of vets on top of that like in the Smash Direct, but I honestly don't think there's a chance in hell we're going to get some big parade of newcomers now if we didn't get it then, especially since Nintendo will have a lot more to focus on at E3 than just Smash. Also, since E3 is going to have most major game studios present, it seems like this would be the perfect opportunity to reveal Snake (if he's still in the game) and whoever then Namco rep is.
not my fault 2 posts came in the way lol.
I wasn't referring to the fact it is HD. Every console entry has had enough screen space for its respective roster and I don't see it being diffwrwnt for Smash 4.
I thought you were imitating those who said that for the NA release of Kirby 3D.
So much white. :x

Sure this is not accurate, but Target has a August 29 release date for Smash 3DS on their site. Check it:

Well...
Seems possible as it's still Summer.
I think a mid-late July date is spot on though.

That makes me think it's a placeholder. It's due out by the end of summer, so they put the end of summer (the end of August) as a placeholder.

Yeah, August feels a little late to me. Either way, it's crazy to me we'll almost for sure have a new Smash game within three months.
I think that is what they consider to be the end of summer. It is the last weekday before August ends. I think most game companies view August as the last month of summer while view September as an autumn month.
So I wouldn't look into that date as the release date.

Oh. Half was that, half is hoping we'll get some character news soon.
I'm still pulling for July.

Yeah, I'm sure it's bogus. I wonder how retailers decide when to put dates up for games without official release dates; it always seems so random.

Smash will definitely have an international release or really close to one.
So I don't think NOA will have final say on the matter, but I'm guessing they will take that into consideration.
It seems that Target just put what they think the possible date for its release like how some retailers put "31st of December 2014" as the release date for games for games that are known to be coming out in 2014, but not known which month/season/quarter it will release.
As for when, I'm guessing when the time of release nears by. We're a few weeks away from what retailers consider summer.
Yeah, I'm banking on a worldwide launch for both versions.
Nintendo seems to be jumping on that bandwagon anyways.

I really don't want this to be the case. I honestly really, really don't care for Pacman. He's not cool, interesting, or relevant. He's never been anything worth while in my opinion. =/
He's so expected at this point. I'm really hoping if Nintendo shows him, he's not the only character that's meant to surprise us.

he's still probably the most famous video game character of all time
in fact, yep, I can say with absolute certainty this is true

What? Dude, you ever play Championship Edition DX? You should, it's great!
Also, I'm expecting Pacman + one other. At this rate I think we're getting close to the starting roster as far as newcomers are concerned, with probably one or two left. They're want to have the whole starting either revealed or almost revealed by the time E3 is over. I'd expect the one remaining newcomer to be revealed at E3 along with Pacman. I guess my money would be on Mii.
Oh I absolutely want Pac-Man in, It's just in comparison to showing Villager and Mega Man (who no one was expecting to even show up because of how Capcom has been lately) he just won't make as big of a splash as last years E3.
The tourney should help build up the hype though.

I agree with you, don't you worry
I'll be expecting more. Shulk and/or Palutena seem reasonable. Pac-Man alone wouldn't be quite enough.Again, I'm still counting on Sakurai to do the right thing and include Layton and Wright, though. That's my bar for my mind to be blown.
Beelzebufo

Eh, I'm pretty sure they'll be unlockable. Shulk would be a nice surprise, and Palutena would make for a nice kid Icarus unlockable. I also can't imagine why she hasn't been revealed already if she's not unlockable.I agree with you, don't you worry

I agree where you're coming from.
Pac-Man is boring, uninteresting and stuff, but unfortunately he is still extremely relevant.
If he does come to Smash, it's fair to say I won't ever be playing as him.

I want my Medusa. :c I certainly hope that everyone gets an alternate costume, I think that'd be a pretty exciting thing to reveal.

I don't think that really matters any more. He's got to show off the newcomers, because so far there's only 5 of them.
Beelzebufo

It's actually confirmed for a summer release date, so no.
He's probably not showing off unlockables though, except for third parties. There seem to just be less newcomers overall this time around.

The way they handled it with MK8, basically showing everything, makes me wonder if they won't do the same with this.

I doubt it, if that was the case we'd be getting rapid-fire reveals pretty soon. Mario Kart also hasn't had much of a problem with revealing unlockable content in the past, while Smash has.

Most of September is summer.

Not really, summer is considered to end at the end of August for the most part.

We'll get the Franklin Badge.
Summer ends Labor Day weekend (first weekend of September).

They already are doing that. Lucario, Toon Link, Luigi... they aren't gonna be available from the beginning! I wouldn't be surprised if characters Greninja or Sheik need to be unlocked either. Marth might have got a promotion, depends on if he's the only FE character or not.
Yeah, they'll totally show off most of the roster. Not all of it (Falcon, Ness, Puff, G&W, ROB etc) but most of it. Especially notable newcomers.
September 22 is the last day of summer this year.
Beelzebufo

There's no reason to think that Lucario and a Toon link won't be available from the beginning, and sheik definitely won't lol. Luigi might be the only non-3rd party exception, as Sakurai noted that this was an unusual case, and attributed it to the Year of Luigi. There's nothing to suggest that he's revealing any other unlockables.
Technically yes, but September is considered a Fall month, not a summer one. The last summer month is August.

Summer break, not the meteorological season of summer.
And no, I don't consider it a stretch for Nintendo to consider most of September a summer month as far as release dates go.
