Am I the only one who thought "Kirby SuperStar" when it first got revealed?


Missing some palm trees maybe.

Well if they are willing to put songs from another represented series in another series' stage they could put in the arena theme.

 

[Hyperactivity]

To be fair, Isaac didn't really stand out to me in Golden Sun. Actually, the only character who really stood out was Saturos. Can we have him instead?

I just really REALLY like his design and in terms of stats, favorite type of psynergy, etc., he was always the best imo due to not be as weak as Ivan, low as Garet, and having healing abilities of Mia along with access to some of the best armor and the fact that the Gaia and Sol Blades are just great and the fact hat Judgement is an amazing summon

I also just like his design a bunch, young and old
Not sure if I prefer Isaac's young design or Mathew's design more, although for the most part they are the same

 

[IntelliHeath]

For people who want to know about rules of threads,

Okay guys. I understand threads for characters. I understand threads for new stages although that's a bit iffy. I understand threads for Assist Trophies IF the character in question was a requested fighter.

But when the "new news" is a Cucco and you don't even know what it is, maybe it's time to slow down a second before rushing to make a thread.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Frankly, I don't think Sakurai is that interested in whether a stage is tournament legal or not. He's always seemed pretty disdainful of competitive play.

In the past he has, but he's changed his tune as of late.

 

[Blizzard]

I'm glad I was wrong! New stage is late AND new!

 

[Hyperactivity]

Alot of people like Shulk by himself, he is like mario, you will say yes to him being in a crossover game, that doesnt mean he is your favorite character in that franchise though

Don't worry, I'm a major Shulk supporter, but Isaac is my most wanted character

Am I the only one who thought "Kirby SuperStar" when it first got revealed?

Huh, good point

Anyways, another character I like from Golden Sun is Alex, although he needs a better resolution

A problem with Dark Dawn is that they forget what started the whole thing at the beginning

That's cool you like his design. For me, he just seems a bit plain.

I think the main barrier to his inclusion is how Golden Sun is neither as prominent as Nintendo's main franchises (I.E. Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Pokémon, etc), nor is it obscure or of historical significance like Game & Watch, etc. Golden Sun is a mid-tier franchise that feels sort of so-so in terms of relevance.

I loved Golden Sun 1, though. I don't think I played the second one. Maybe I'll try to find it used.

 

[RagnarokX]

One of my Ridley gifs contains Golden Sun sprites. Which one is it?!

Idk, always felt attached to silent protagonists throughout the course of a game

I hope you have a link cable
Played the 2nd one now, but I wrote done and put the inputs in for the entire gold password, and it wasn't accepted.

Ragequitted hard right then and there for a few months

Gl if you don't, and tell us about your gold password experience

EDIT: Honestly, I tink it's the yellow scarf that I like the most about Isaac's young design

I should have a link cable and multiple GBA units lying around somewhere.

I highly recommend it. The Lost Age is miles ahead better than the first one in every way. The original only had you exploring basically 1/4th of the world map, with The Lost Age giving you free reign to explore basically everything.

Amazing new moves, a ridiculous number of new summons and it can pose a decent challenge. Helps that it actually has some endgame content (unlike the first one where the only thing to do was basically grind away to get Grand Gaia for Isaac which was terrible anyway).

 

[Hyperactivity]

....
aw, wanted to hear about your personal story when it comes to that ridiculous gold password

Honestly, if they ever rerelease golden sun, they should put the two games together. It felt like instead of being a game and a sequel, the two games were meant to be one but were limited by memory and the GBA, given how those two games were already pushing the system so much

I would enjoy this update even more if it was from the Kirby Super Star

One of my Ridley gifs contains Golden Sun sprites. Which one is it?!

....damnit now I am gonna have to look through them all. ill do it tomorrow @_@

 

[Hyperactivity]

I'm done for the night now that I've seen POTD
See yah SmashGAF

 

[SliceSabre]

I've always been kinda so-so on edgeless stages because I'm always unlucky enough to get KO'd at low percentages because I was too close to the edges of the stages and it isn't always obvious how far a distance you have to travel off screen before KO.

Good update for sure I'm just not sure I like the stage myself.

 

[RiggyRob]

This new stage looks pretty cool.

Spoiler

I prefer it being called the Arena.

 

[mclem]

See that dragon in the background?

Guess who else is a dragon.

 

[Dimitri LH]

One of my Ridley gifs contains Golden Sun sprites. Which one is it?!

I think I found it.

Eruption

Its the Eruption itself right?

 

[RagnarokX]

Yep

 

[GregLombardi]

Well, no megaton or mega update, but it was a nice enough update prior to E3!

Looks like a cool stage, I hope we get to see it in motion.

 

[justchris]

I just noticed that Smash Miiverse had a update on their main site:

Apparently they made a program for android. Here is a link if anyone care about it: http://smashbros-miiverse.com/4smash

Downloaded. This will be useful.

 

[BassForever]

Cool stage need to see more

 

[Axass]

That new FE stage is amazing: WiiU has better stages confirmed.

About the platforms, I imagine they're gonna pop out of the ground, a la Pokémon Stadium, right? Here's hoping for some nice woody mechanical contraptions.

What about Mario Golf 64?

Holy...! I even played that game to completion, but I had totally forgot, can't believe they did that. However it's still an unicum, doubt it will happen again.

 

[Nights Owl]

Hype levels have been a bit too high for me lately. Haven't had a decent sleep in about a week and a half. I don't even care if I'm disappointed. I just want to sleep well at this point. Haha.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Isaac and Shulk both are lame.

 

[Beelzebufo]

While technically true, I think it's pretty obvious he was referring to Charizard.

So I guess we'll see this stage in the demo too? Anyone else think it's weird that Sakurai made two posts but only one picture?

Edit: the second one wouldn't load. Looks cool!

 

[-Horizon-]

Pic of the day. Here's Ike, Marth and…a brand-new stage!

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.

Looks nice. More for the Wii U version.

 

[Tom_Cody]

So i did the math, that's 53 full hours of playable smash bros at the nintendo world store.

Even if they only have ONE wii U and ONE 3ds, that's a potential of roughly 3000 4 player, 2-minute matches.

They have 15 Wii U units and a similar number of 3DS units. I am hoping they go full-out on Smash.

 

[theprodigy]

Criticism is really necessary?

You can make a thread if you want, mods get to determine whether or not they are locked.

Hey you World Cup-ified your avatar too!

Anyway cool stage

Wolf is stupid and should be cut

[Save 'N Quit]

Lovely FE stage.

Gate in the middle is just asking to be open for a boss character appearance.

 

[Princess_Eevee9]

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.

I heard mention of Kirby! You people need to play more Kirby games if Triple Deluxe is surprising you.

I would totally main middle aged

Spoiler

hot

Isaac :< But he doesn't look that good as a kid.

I don't know you but I saw you around when the Pokémon leaks were going viral. You were baking on Chesnaught. You don't like adult and father Isaac but instead like teenaged him instead? What the hell is wrong with you? What exactly is wrong with his older design? Did you even bother playing the games? You sound like a teenaged girl regarding this. I'm sorry if this is mean sounding but hell no Shulk is not a better character in any shape or form then Isaac. Maybe aside from being the reason why people hate JRPG protagonists.

To be fair, Isaac didn't really stand out to me in Golden Sun. Actually, the only character who really stood out was Saturos. Can we have him instead?

That's a shame you feel that way. And only if we get Menardi tag team.

What stage are you talking about?

 

[J@hranimo]

Just saw the update. Sheeeeeeeeeiiit that's one nice looking stage!

And it's so...spacious. Unfortunately it looks like a walk off. I was hoping to have a FE stage that's neutral for competitive play. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Arena-

oh right 3DS stage lol

 

[Hot Coldman]

we sure seem to have a lot of walk-offs this time

Looks pretty at least. Seems slightly generic, but if it's a recurring location like you guys say then I guess I'll buy it.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

Anyone remember this from last year?

Or the endless hype trains accompanied by insane rumors and E3 bingo boards?

My fellow Nintendo fans, where's the love? The dedication? Is *anyone* excited for Nintendo's Digital Event this year?

I almost made this post a new thread, but on second thought it probably would have been locked within a few hours.

Never understood what's so wrong with walk-off stages? Are they bad news or something?

 

[J@hranimo]

Arena Ferox looks pretty neutral for the most part.

I was meaning a FE stage for Smash 4 Wii U cause FE stages always look cool. Hopefully we see more at E3.

 

[Hot Coldman]

You can just tech chase someone to the edge and smash them away. Kills are just too easy.

I find them super boring in casual play too. Never liked Bridge of Eldin.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

There was a minigame in kirby superstar on snes that was like an arena/coliseum.

Marth looks like Ike's girlfriend. lol

Also, I guess they'll show so many new info at E3. That's why they already show stages! Yay.

 

[Princess_Eevee9]

The Arena is to big for a resemblance but I'd love for this to happen. Super Star Ultra came out after Brawl right? Hmm maybe that or the True Arena.

 

[Immaculate]

So we're at 33 stages for both now(17 wii u and 16 3ds)

[georly]

Stage reveal.

Great guess!!!!

More pictures of actual in-game arenas (or colosseums) AKA the only way i was able to beat sacred stones (I'm not great at fire emblem).
