Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 8: Put mii in, coach

No way this game is being released before July or August on the 3DS.

Sakurai "I promised that the 3DS version would be released in the summer. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Super Smash Bros for 3DS will be launching at the beginning of summer, on June 21st 2014."
 
My final predictions for the game at E3:


  • August release for 3DS, November for Wii U
  • Three newcomers and five veterans will be shown
  • Six new stages, two returning

Nearly thirty seven hours left!
 
Well with the microsoft conference coming tomorrow afternoon and with all the chuffleguff that follows it, I'm going to hold off on posting in most topics, so you probably won't see me until the SmashGAF IRC is reaching critical hype tomorrow.

Have a happy E3, you punks!

You should watch the Microsoft conference with Kyzon and Batty :P

Obviously I'm assuming they will show a trailer for Smash at the Digital Event. Did not include Treehouse because who knows which day it will be on.
 
I can watch the E3 Digital Event stream on the evening my time (nice!). Too bad I can only watch the invitational as a replay though (timezone sucks lol).

Tomorrow can't come soon enough!

Are there any reasonable guesses about how long the digital event will last? I could watch it during lunch east-coast time if it's only an hour.

How long is the tourney? Pretty sure I'm going to have to miss a big chunk of it due to work at this rate. :/
 
So GAF will be down this whole week then?
It'll be up occasionally.

I highly recommend typing up anything you want to post in a word processor and then put it onto your clipboard while GAF's down. That way when it comes back up you might actually have a shot at posting it before GAF goes down again. You have like 10 seconds so GLHF.

I'll just check here real late at night, but during the day probably get my news through IGN. *shudders*
 
1 good Newcomer in a few hours could at least keep Nintendo in the news cycle tomorrow

with MS and SONY hogging all the news Monday it would be smart to drop a decent newcomer pre-event and have the rest for tuesday

Twitch has it slotted for an hour. It may be an hour long, but I doubt it. It shouldn't be a problem if you can have an hour to watch it I think.

I don't know, I feel like I read it would be 2 hours long, but got no clue on where I read it. It would have to finish within 3 hours though since the Smash press meet starts 3 hours after.
 
5 minutes per match × 7 matches + the final, 2.5 hours?
Seems stretched out
There's the fan-favorite matches too, remember. There's also the media exhibition match. We also have to go through introductions and drafting and stuff.

And Geoff talking for a longass time between every fucking match.
 
Picked up my E3 badge a couple hours ago. Can't believe it's so close... the hype feels real now.

In just two days we all get to watch the Invitational and some of us will be playing the game. We're going to finally know so much more about Smash 4 than we have since it was originally unveiled at last year's E3. Feels bizarre. I'm gonna try like hell to get into the roundtable dicussion, too.

As for myself, for my first match at E3 I'm playing Mega Man, no question. Second match will be Kirby (can't abandon my Braw main!), and my third match will be Rosalina & Luma. After that... who knows!

My final Smash predictions for E3:
- 3DS release date announced for late August or early September
- 2-3 newcomers
- 1-2 veterans
- 1-2 new 3DS stages, no new Wii U stages (we just got two, after all)

Time to board the hype train!
