You guys do realize there's people who didn't watch the Direct right? So things like today's pic might actually be new for them.

Doesn't compute. Anyone invested in the game enough to look at the POTD would never give up on watching something like the SSB Direct.

Godzilla should be in smash

 

[Qurupeke]

Well, the road to E3 was expected to be rough, right?

 

[Marlowe89]

I really miss the Dojo...

Same here. I think a lot of it had to do with the actual presentation, but the Dojo had me practically bouncing off the walls with hype and excitement.

Pic of the day is acceptable too though I guess. At least we're getting something.

 

[Boss Doggie]

The reason we are getting more subdued stuff is because Sakurai doesn't want to spoil.

 

[georly]

Took me a while to realize that samus was just her doing the backwards flip thing w/ ghosts. I thought she had turned into some 4 legged monster.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Holy shit @ PotD whining. Y'all are fuckin ridiculous.

Info blowouts every day on the Dojo were hype as shit, but there wasn't much to discover when the games came out. PotD is a good balance between showing the game every weekday (lucky we're even getting that), and not spoiling the game completely.

Also, on topic, this is my favorite AT shown so far.

 

[Riki]

People who say they miss the Dojo obviously forget that the Dojo had tons of non updates as well.
People can never be happy, I guess.

List of games that show off the game on a week daily basis:

1. Smash Bros
2. ​
3. ​
4. ​
5. ​

This doesn't really mean anything when it's not interesting 90% of the time.

 

[Jintor]

You can get interesting 100% of the time every six-eight months, or a 40% chance of interesting 4-5 times a week

Are there really people in the world that terrible? Sometimes this life makes me sad.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Good update as usual.

Can anyone find me a GIF of Smash 4 intro please? I tried to find it but I couldn't. (from first trailer where they started with Mario and ended it with Pikachu)

[DaBoss]

lol at PotD whining. It seems the comments don't even matter. Just the pics "have to be" new.

Doesn't compute. Anyone invested in the game enough to look at the POTD would never give up on watching something like the SSB Direct.

It's 39 min long. A PotD takes a minute to read and look at the pic.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Also, we got a reveal on Tuesday of Charizard's moveset changes, and yesterday of a trophy, so...

How'd I miss this.. What was the change?

Pic of the day. The unexpected Assist Trophy, the TV-Game 15! Color TV-Game 15 is a home entertainment system that was released in 1977 in Japan before the release of Space Invaders. This is the oldest game to join the Smash Bros. series.

Spoiler

Sakurai you big slim FUCK

EDIT:

Good on Sakurai for paying attention to the details.

 

[Wurliwurm]

Looking forward to the E3!

 

[JazzmanZ]

Great people are whining again, if you don't like the POTD you don't have to say anything, be glad you're getting them in the first place, otherwise you'd be waiting between April and June just to get more info.

Every statement someone makes with " TV-Game 15!" on it should have a read slightly tilted font over that , that says " Fucking Pong in Smash Bros "

When I first looked at today's picture, I saw pyrosphere with some odd shaped blue-ish thing in the middle. Even though it was blue, I thought I was just seeing it wrong and today was Ridley.

For anyone having a hard time seeing samus, she's doing this:

Actually most of them tend to be peculiar. I think the only time they weren't interesting was during the early days.

Looks like they're about to high five with their butts.

I don't think many of them are interesting now either. It's understandable right now because of the Smash ND blowout, but I've skipped entire weeks and maybe only missed one thing that I found interesting.

And this was all that was needed to be said.

 

[Village]

I am laughing so hard at this.

HIgh-butts?

Though that sounds like an adult swim show involving butts and weed.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I know some are very tired of all the Ridley talk, but in earnest I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. Sakurai be trolling or something as that literally is in the shape of Ridley's head.

Part of what makes this Assist Trophy so fun in my opinion is that I can imagine that when they started looking for it, they might have actually been looking into whether Nintendo ever made a clone of Pong, and stumbled upon this that way. This game was historically significant, though, and it came out six years after Pong (and had far more options for how matches play out).

 

[BGBW]

Wario Ware was actually going to have a microgame based on Color TV Game.

 

[powerdrain]

I was so hype when I saw this in the Direct. It's not quite Pong...but it is "Pong" at the end of the day, and it made me so happy because we would've never seen it coming and it represents one or the most famous video games ever in a game like Smash

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Honestly, I hate the people who complain about the Dojo "spoiling the game" for them. I mean, that was sort of the fucking point. Both the Dojo and the Pic of the Day are suppose to be revealing (new) info about the game on a day-to-day basis in order to get people interested in it. If you don't want to be spoiled for the game, you shouldn't be following in the first place.

That's interesting to know, thanks for sharing! Wonder why it was cut (not fun?). Honestly, that direct was the first i'd ever heard of the color tv game machine, good to know nintendo was planning on remembering it a decade ago.

It's as though they went for Pong as a base, formed the details to be in-line with Color TV-Game 15, and now need to officially refer to it as Color TV-Game 15 at all times!

They're recharging the Hype Drives from the use of Overdrive during the Smash Direct to bust the mode out again for E3.

Can't wait to see that fanart

Once you fire your Hyper Beam, it takes a full turn before you can use it again. In this case, the turn is about 2 months long.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I, for one, am happy that Love Hotel and Hanafuda Card Deck still have chances as playable characters.

 

[BGBW]

There was also the GBA Bit Generations title Boundish that basically consisted of Pong clones. Or I should say Pong remixes.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Yeah, I really like the Pong concept for Assist Trophy. It's reek of awesomeness!

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I remember that Smooth Moves had one based on Color TV-Game 6.

 

[BGBW]

I forgotten about that one. Wario Ware is pretty good for obscure Nintendo references.

Oh, yeah. I remembered that.

Flipping though some of the old Dojo thread, and it made me realize just how much more accepting of Pokemon people have gotten. We do have the occasional argument about there being "too many Pokemon," but I don't think I've ever seen people post shit like this in our threads:

Because there is nothing in the Pokemon universe which contains


A) Quality, or the type of quality Nintendo is known for.
B) Nostalgia for things I remember playing as a kid.
C) The sort of kickass character a 24 year old adult such as myself can find appealing on any level whatsoever.

Basically, the basic reason is that Pokemon serves to cheapen the entire stable of Nintendo characters, moreso than Mario Party or Starfox Assault ever could.

The entire series offers no hope of ever changing to anything a detractor could love, and more specifically, ever producing a single console iteration that is even average.

Because Pokemon:
A) Is geared towards children
B) Has it's own battling games and does not need to invade SSB franchise
C) Sucks
D) (So far) has more characters in this game than any other Nintendo franchise, which is ri-fucking-diculous.

I'm not saying I want mature characters. I'm saying I want characters that don't look like something my nephew drew with crayons.

 

[Regulus Tera]

B) Has it's own battling games

It does?!

 

[georly]

It does?!

Stadium I guess? People are weird about their smash bros entitlements.

Even I, who hate pac-man, am not going to flip my shit if he makes it in. It won't make the game any worse if a character I hate makes it in.
