It does seem like Sakurai is buttering us up for some Chrom

& Lucina

goodness at E3. Maybe with Roy returning in the same trailer for good measure. (I'm half-serious -- Sakurai is a crowd-pleaser.)

I can already hear the music in this stage: FIIII-RUUU EMMM-BRRRUU! Faa, ra ra ra, raaa, raaa!

Secret best news here: GameXplain will surely have a discussion on the new stage, like they did for Mushroom Kingdom U. <3 GX

Pic of the day. Here's Ike, Marth and&#8230;a brand-new stage!

Hmm, don't seem to recognize this stage if it's from FE...

Looks great though!

EDIT: Ah, it's the Coliseum.

We've added a familiar setting from the Fire Emblem series, the Coliseum. In the original game, this place is filled with both hope and despair. There is machinery in the ground that activates variable platforms.

Interesting.

 

[PreyingShark]

Variable platforms, eh?

So a #BANNED version of the 3DS stage?

You're too fast for me Smash GAF.

 

[The Xtortionist]

I missed you, my love :-3

I saw you digging Triple Deluxe and wanted to sing its praises with you. That game is legit. Never really cared for other Kirby games, but Triple Deluxe is great.

<3

Triple Deluxe surprised the hell out of me. The presentation was SO GOOD OMG.

I missed you in the Project Beast threads. Needed the number one hype man for the hypest threads!

Ah...all is well...

 

[Mr. Smiley]

How so?

Quite the sizable arena, no?

 

[SoldnerKei]

Grima was small-time, anyway.

they will be best buddies

now where are my waifus sakurai?

 

[Dr. Buni]

I wonder if it is a hint that Robin is coming so soon.

Most likely

 

[Gilbals]

First Pic: Ike looks mad that Marth said something passive aggressive.

Second Pic: He showed him (her) the back of his hand.

 

[Moonlight]

Machinery in the ground that raises platforms. That sounds pretty neat.

As this comes from OG FE, I choose to believe that this means Anna is in.

Spoiler

Don't take this from me.

 

[Hyperactivity]

obviously the stage is big enough to fit ridley in there

ridley confirmed for Fire Emblem Wii U

He can't even fit on Palutena's temple, what are you talking about?

One thing that does suck is that this most likely means no stage on Grima's back, which would've been amazing

 

[SuperSah]

Mechanics activating platforms?

Sounds like the 3DS stage.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Variable platforms, eh?

So a #BANNED version of the 3DS stage?

Walk-offs make it #BANNED even without the platforms, I imagine.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Why do people dislike walk-off stages?

 

[Pappasman]

Sakurai's comment





Interesting.

dang, if this wasn't a walk off it would look like a pretty great stage.

 

[Red Arremer]

Sakurai's comment





Interesting.

If the stage changes, it's similarly to Castle Siege and Delfino in Brawl, which means it's probably not gonna be banned - those 2 also had temporary walkoffs.

 

[SenorArdilla]

See that dragon in the background?

Guess who else is a dragon.

confirmed!

I really hope Robin makes it in. It would be a good change from the usual FE character.

And to win the bet.

Grima fits on the 3DS that screen is too small, what are you talking about?!!


ok, I need some sleep,,, I miss grima

 

[random25]

Variable platforms...cool!

 

[Choppasmith]

Wow, I knew we had to be getting a console FE stage soon after Ike was revealed. Looks spectacular!

 

[sorakirosaki]

Sakurai's comment





Interesting.

ahh yeah figured it was inspired from the coliseum from other FE games curious to find out what the variable platforms do? maybe something like arena ferox but with a lot more variety?

 

[Kurtofan]

New stages yesss

 

[PsychBat!]

FEA and TW101 are two games I absolutely adored but stopped playing right at the end for no apparent reason. They're on the "to finish later" list.

I stopped playing FE:A because of work and I don't know whether I'll go back to playing it because MK8 is taking too much of my time. It's just too fun to stop playing.

 

[Zalman]

Liking the look of the new stage.

 

[Dr. Buni]

New FE stage is good, but where is my Metroid 3DS stage, Sarakui?

 

[DecoReturns]

Looks like the arenas you go to level up and get gold.

 

[Hyperactivity]

ok, I need some sleep,,, I miss grima

RIDLEY doesn't fit on the arena

So, if Robin isgoing to be at E3 with a sword and magic combo, orchrom, this means newcomer fits my sword user.

Now I need Pac Man or Snake to be there too

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Why do people dislike walk-off stages?

I think it's because the blast lines are super close to the edge of the screen, so you can just camp on the edge, grab someone, and toss them out for a quick KO at low damage.

 

[Neiteio]

Palutena's centurions vs Chrom's Shepherds in an epic battle for the E3 trailer.

BELIEVE!

Right before Palutena's Centurions collide with Chrom's Shepherds, time slows down and Shulk appears, wielding the Monado!

And then a shadow darkens the land and Chrom, Palutena and Shulk turn around to see Ridley! They put aside their petty squabble and team up against the dragon...

...but then Ridley stops his attack mid-air, his eyes wide. He turns around, and Pac-Man is nibbling on his tail.

And then Bayonetta and Cloud Strife hit the scene on the same motorcycle, with Master Chief parasailing behind them.

The trailer closes with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman revealed as a new Ice Climber-style character.

 

[OricWindstar]

That stage looks fucking amazing!

 

[Kyzon]

Why do people dislike walk-off stages?

Ever been chain thrown off the edge or played someone who just hangs out there trying to bait you into grab range so they can just back throw you?

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

For those unfamiliar with Fire Emblem, the older games, including the two for GBA that were released outside of Japan, had maps featuring an arena where you could gamble with your characters' lives, sending them into an automated duel against a vaguely specified opponent. I don't recognize the new stage as being representative of a specific arena in the series, but here is the one from Fire Emblem 7 (the first one brought overseas) for comparison.

They can't reveal it since it's from Metroid Dread.

 

[SuperSah]

No Metroid this gen, sorry.

 

[Masked Man]

Color me skeptical, but if you really are talking with Masuda, tell him to make a goddamn dolphin Pokémon.

I was talking about Sakai-san. Never met Masuda-san, although I've always been tempted to participate in those meet-and-greet events they hold at Pokemon Centers every so often. Hopefully our paths will cross someday, though!

Would you have any clue if he's the main composer for SSB4 like he was for Melee, or if instead they're doing the same thing they did with Brawl's soundtrack?

Unfortunately, no. I did try to glean some information about the game, but he was pretty tight-lipped--understandable, given that he's working for Nintendo. My guess would be that it's going to end up closer to Brawl's soundtrack, but don't quote me on that.

 

[Feltrol]

Metroid Prime: Hunters stage?

 

[Vampirolol]

This could be better than Giant Bill Murray's Head. Anyway, what's the problem with a walk off stage?

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 9: F5 F5 F5 F5

I totally support this.

 

[Loco4Coco]

I think it's because the blast lines are super close to the edge of the screen, so you can just camp on the edge, grab someone, and toss them out for a quick KO at low damage.

Game&Watch stages play like that, but others like Sonic GHZ and Yoshi's Island(melee) play a bit bigger.

:-D

I got banned for making a joke where I depicted Reggie as a fratboy who thinks girl-on-girl action is hot. One month. :-O

But I'm back now. Definitely excited about Project Beast -- but I still have to play Dark Souls 2! I've owned it since launch -- it's loaded on my PC and ready to go -- but I always drag my feet on these games, even though Dark Souls 1 is probably my current Game of the Generation (Wii/PS3/360 era).

Dat Project Beast, doe. Shotguns!

 

[Dr. Buni]

Metroid Prime: Hunters stage?

How about a stage based on a good game instead, like Zero Mission or Fusion. I was thinking about one based in the Section 5 are in Fusion

They can't reveal it since it's from Metroid Dread.

Metroid Dread 3DS + Ridley announcement + 3DS stage in the Digital Event. Believe.

 

[SkullHydra]

No Metroid this gen, sorry.

You shut up.

 

[FSLink]

I think it's because the blast lines are super close to the edge of the screen, so you can just camp on the edge, grab someone, and toss them out for a quick KO at low damage.

Yeah hopefully the stage changes enough like Delfino Plaza that this isn't possible all the time. And no, a Final Destination version wouldn't be nice since I'd want the platforms.

Nope, The Arena/Colloseum from the original doesn't show up in Awakening.

It's meant to represent Marth's game, Thracia 776, Genealogy of War, and most of ancient Akaneia.

The only Awakening stage is Arena Ferox.

 

[ChaosAngel]

This stage looks sweet . Excellent update to end the week.

 

[Not]

Of course Marth has to look feminine, or his
