Because the artist is Kinu Nishimura.

One of my favourite artists in gaming, really.

Yes, I love her stuff.

Her style is so glossy and bright. <3

This thread is dead in the water.

Did Nintendo really release official art of all of the DLC FEA characters?

That must've been really cool for long-time fans, seeing characters from the olden days reimagined.

I'm not familiar with the entire FE series, and even I found it really cool.

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of DLC art for Micaiah.

nope nope nope

 

[Golnei]

Really cool for fans of characters other than Ike and Micaiah, at least.

It was a hit and miss experience, really

Finally.

 

[afoni]

I sincerely can't tell if you're putting on a character or some shit but wow either way.

Me? Put on a character?

Never.

 

[Neiteio]

Yeah, I've only played FEA (wonderful game!), so I'm not familiar with the origins of much of the DLC.

 

[OricWindstar]

Very true. In another man's words:

Really cool for fans of characters other than Ike and Micaiah, at least.

Just the "reward" characters. (The ones you got after you beat the DLC mission.)

All the others just had their portraits from their respective games.

People so casually ignore that Leif's Awakening DLC art was pretty faithful.

He can also use nearly any weapon type in FE4 and comes with completely unique gameplay mechanics from 5. You want spears, axes, bows, whatever? Leif's got ya covered.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Ike's and Micahiah's are definitely the worst of the guest arts. My favorite one is Roy's cause I really love the Last Story art style.

*fist bump*

Its not late. Sakurai is working on a clock-app for the e-shop smash style. Cause he always loses track of time...

C'mon Sakurai. This needs to be good.

Oh man, he looks awesome! Never seen him before.

Oh boy, what did FEA do to Ike?

 

[Moonlight]

Roy's guest art is eurgh. Too over-designed and try-hard cool for me to enjoy it that much.

Oh boy, what did FEA do to Ike?

this artist decided to reinterpret ike as a robot

 

[NexusCell]

Sakurai pls, deliver us from this madness.

 

[SkullHydra]

This is amazi...

STOP BEING CREEPY

I mean terrible. Don't be creepy, Gripper.

 

[Hours Left]

I won't post it, but I'm pretty sure he's part cyborg.

 

[afoni]

c o m m u n I t y

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Oh boy, what did FEA do to Ike?

Removed his arm and replaced it with a sword.

Guys, listen to the menu music. Listen to it. Mother of Sakurai.

Nice!

 

[Kyzon]

Come onnnnnnnn alt costume! I'm ready

 

[OricWindstar]

Oh boy, what did FEA do to Ike?

Beaten to it, but the answer is: nothing good.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Oh boy, what did FEA do to Ike?

This

Edit: beaten hard by Windstar

Edit 2: Beaten even harder by Moonlight

 

[Mik317]

This pic is going to be so filler, Bones will produce it.

Yeah, I remember that one. Looked like something out of The Last Story.

Removed his arm and replaced it with a sword.

Wait, really?

I mean, if you're going to do that, at least make it a chainsaw.

 

[Moonlight]

Mr. Smiley confirmed for OricWindstar's alt account

edit: this joke doesn't work anymore

 

[BGBW]

Well on average they get posted at 7am GMT so it's actually 1hr late.

But the true reality is that they are never late. They are ready when they need to be.

Mr. Smiley confirmed for OricWindstar's alt account

Haha! I edited it before I saw this comment, but that's amazing.

 

[afoni]

This was a pretty good joke.

 

[SuperSah]

No PotD yet? It's 7 minutes late...

Just getting a few screenshots ready of the Ryu and Ken tag-team.

 

[Troubled Bat]

This won't be filler, because I say so.

 

[K-A-Deman]

The more time I twiddle away here the more my mind is manifesting a set of moves for MGR Raiden. It's surprisingly tricky.

Spoiler

Playblast turned out wrong, get to redo it. yay

 

[PreyingShark]

FE:A Ike is... interesting.

Oh who the hell am I kidding. WHAT THE HELL?

Time for DK stage!

What is going on with Ike's right arm?

 

[Neiteio]

Holy shit, I thought ShockingAlberto was joking, but they literally gave Ike a sword-arm. Now I didn't play PoR or RD, so I must ask, is there a story reason for this??

 

[Moonlight]

No

it's just really terrible perspective

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I'll be really upset if this thread gets moved to community because of the sad waifu bullshit. I would rule with an iron fist regarding any objectification if I were able.

 

[OricWindstar]

Holy shit, I thought ShockingAlberto was joking, but they literally gave Ike a sword-arm. Now I didn't play PoR or RD, so I must ask, is there a story reason for this??

No, it's just the art; he has two arms. But he's crazy skinny.

 

[Odie_Esty]

Y'know maybe Muscle Ike's not so bad. It could be worse. It could be a lot worse.

 

[Hours Left]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

RoboIke has been summoned. It's like making a pact with a demon, except the demon isn't cool or sexy and is made of aluminum alloy.

Makes me happier than ever that we got the true Ike for Sm4sh.

Y'know maybe Muscle Ike's not so bad. It could be worse. It could be a lot worse.

You've seen the light~

 

[Aβydoς]

I've seen that artwork hundreds of times and never noticed that. I was too distracted by how fucking ugly the rest of it is.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT SWORD ARM OH MY LORD /dead

 

[Tripon]

This pic is going to be so filler, Bones will produce it.

 

[CriterionDog]

What is going on with Ike's right arm?

He is holding the sword...it's just drawn poorly. He has his right arm extended out grappling the sword, just that it looks like we see his hand kind of mix into his chest armor, next to the sword. So a lot of people think Ike in FEA has a sword hand. lol

 

[BGBW]

Holy shit, I thought ShockingAlberto was joking, but they literally gave Ike a sword-arm. Now I didn't play PoR or RD, so I must ask, is there a story reason for this??

Terrible perspective.


I remember when we feared that was going to be Ike's look in Smash. Luckily they went in the complete opposite direction and beefed him up.
