Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 12: Gwah, hah. Welcome to the Bowser's game.

Oh yeah. A lot of people recently have been asking about character reveal dates and the lengths of time between them, so here you go (with Meta Knight added):

2013

6/11/13 (E3 2013): Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Bowser, Pit, Villager, Mega Man, Wii Fit Trainer
7/12/13 (Pikmin 3 Japanese release date): Olimar & Pikmin
8/7/13 (Pic of the Day): Luigi
9/12/13 (Pic of the Day): Peach
9/26/13 (Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Japanese release date): Toon Link
10/1/13 (Nintendo Direct): Sonic
11/7/13 (Pic of the Day): Marth
12/18/13 (Nintendo Direct): Rosalina & Luma
12/26/13 (Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Japanese release date): Zelda

2014

1/10/14 (Kirby Triple Deluxe Japanese release date): King Dedede
1/31/14 (Pic of the Day): Lucario
2/13/14 (Nintendo Direct): Little Mac
2/21/14 (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze US release date): Diddy Kong
4/8/14 (Smash Direct 1): Zero Suit Samus, Sheik, Yoshi, Charizard, Greninja
5/23/14 (Pic of the Day): Ike
6/11/14 (E3 2014): Mii Fighters, Palutena, Pac-Man
7/14/14 (Announcement Video): Lucina, Captain Falcon, Robin
8/13/14 (Pic of the Day): Meta Knight

So the longest gaps between character reveals are those between Marth/Rosalina & Luma and Diddy Kong/the Smash Direct crew.

Pretty interesting. Lots of characters got revealed simultaneous with a launch date of a new product... next one being Hyrule Warriors tomorrow.

I'm wondering if Meta Knight is going to be the last character we receive before the release.

It's likely that we're not going to get another character reveal this week. Monday is the 18th, and the 3DS version comes out in Japan on September 9th. Like all big games, the game will leak out well in advance.

Sakurai has about 2.5 weeks left if he wants to formally reveal anything before the leaks start coming in.

September 13th, actually. We're almost there!

Exactly. That's why I'd been expecting Ganondorf tomorrow, but now I'm not so sure...
 
Maaaaaaaan do I want to see the new kirby and do stages already

What's that? You're telling me he doesn't have a chance!?

Because Kirby Air Ride's City Trial totally wouldn't work with four players on the same system.

Split-screen, most likely 30fps Smash?

No thanks, also it's designed to be played over 8 screens.

Where do your items go on the WiiU, how do you use one of your 8 items on the WiiU, where's the map and stats screen for each player on the WiiU, where do percentages go?


It's not designed for the WiiU at all.

I think the fact that it's NOT just a Smash Ball or a logo is why most people really dig it. When people were brainstorming what the Smash 3DS would look like the consensus was really resigned to it just being a logo, which wouldn't exactly rush people to stores to get a new 3DS, especially if they already have one.

This though? This is very cool. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out the best selling LE - but we'll wait and see. I'm sorry you, and others, aren't into it though. I think it's way better than we could have expected.

Edit: I do think it's weird though the characters aren't aligned along the hinge as a base. Now when you open the 3DS all the characters are upside down. Nintendo needs to take a cue from laptops in this case.
Click to expand...

It would have been better if the artwork were DIFFERENT from the cover art. If it was the same concept (Smash characters lined up), that would also be great, I just don't like that it's THE SAME THING as what's on the box.
 
Yeah not really feeling that 3DS Xl either, a little disappointed, but whatever. If I really loved it I would have jumped on it immediately, so at least I saved some money considering how much I'm already pouring into the game to begin with haha.

So they've only shown the red one for EU right? Watch the US get only a blue version. Wouldn't be surprised.

Is this a tournament or is it just a demo do you reckon?

I'll go if it's a tournament, otherwise I'll just be playing the japanese version by then.

Not sure literally that screenshot was all the info I got.

Hopefully they'll have the WiiU version there, that'd make me so happy!

Japanese version? Of the 3ds right?
 
I think it's sorta sad that I remember the amount of handhelds you have based on that post of you buying the Japanese 3DS on ebay

Well, the site has a page that discusses the Stadium mode and the only sub-modes listed under it are HRC, Target Blast, and Multi-Man Smash. And, since we know that Stadium modes aren't really ever unlockable* it's safe to assume BTT is not in the 3DS version. There's a chance it's in the Wii U version but then if it is we have to hope it's done right. I mean, Target Blast hasn't been confirmed for the Wii U version yet... so there's always a chance for the console BTT and BTP can make it.

*: I'm aware of Boss Battles in Brawl being unlockable but seeing as that was tied to SSE that's more of a one-off unlockable mode in Stadium and not likely to be repeated unless there's a plethora of bosses in Classic mode.

Would be a shame to see it go, but you're right. If Break the Targets ends up being 5 dull stages like Brawl had, maybe it's better off gone. Fingers crossed though, as always.

I hope there is a tournament just because I could grind those 12 days of the 3DS version to win a robe or whatever.

So if I do a system transfer from my XL to this one will my network ID, vc games, friendlist and everything transfer?

Animal Crossing 3DSXL owner here. When I did a system transfer over to the system it moved everything; games, friend code, & friend list [I did this before NNID was on the 3DS, but that should move over too].

Jacobbles said:
I have a better question: if I do a system transfer from my current 3DS to the new Smash 3DS that has Smash Bros pre-installed, will I lose that copy of Smash? Or will it get folded into my existing games after the transfer?

The pre-installed game will get combined with your current eShop account, but you will have to redownload it.

Maybe they could do a compromise? Individual stages for single player, and generic Target Smash stages for co op (assuming they're even bringing back co op for single player modes)

Actually, we don't have any confirmation of co op returning in Smash 4, do we? There's nothing on the 3DS Stadium Games being co op.

Also, seems like Smash 3DS won't have Events (which would be a really huge loss for SP Smash)

Are you 100% sure that's the case? I think that's what it was before NNID was implemented onto 3ds... but after? I think that's Why ALBW was a download code and not preinstalled.

Yep, he did it in advance but he added the glove armor tho.

I not 100% certain, but I believe that's reason you need to be online for a system transfer (to combine both eShop accounts).

It seems like as long as you don't make an NNID for the new system you should be fine.

Are there any GAF members in London? Because I probably look exactly like them. If you see any of them there feel free to take your grievances up with them, because it will probably actually be me, no matter how much I say I'm someone else.

Awesome thanks dude!
 
I wonder if they nerfed MetaKnight as they did to Kirby in melee hoho

guess that covers Kirby reps right? I was expecting Ganondorf since we have Hyrule Warriors coming out in japan, but it's nice to see the bat back
 
Glad to see them posting updates that are substantial in the middle of the week or randomly. Should have been happening all along! I like Meta Knight as a character, though I don't choose to play him a lot for some reason.
 
That Olimar panel is pretty good with the Pikmin converging above him. Can't wait to see Ness' and Lucas'
and Kumatora's

in b4 "I don't think he's doing panels for the ATs"
 
I love all of those stained glass portraits except for Donkey Kong. To have him standing on two legs and crossing his arms is just kind of weird considering his smash version is extremely gorilla-like.

"first" to play.

lol people got to play this at Hyper Japan with no need to register.

If I need a new 3DS I may consider getting that Luigi one.
 
Am I think only one who thinks that 3DS looks awful? I wish they'd gone with something more subdued. Like maybe only use the white color, like this.

Or maybe just use the firey smash symbol like the this?

Such a missed opportunity.
 
Having the series icons tiled nicely across the case, a bit like the Curtain Calls XL. Of course the problem would be revealing icons for reps not yet shown.

We're getting bosses in the multiplayer arenas themselves this time. It shouldn't be hard to boost them (more speed and damage) for battles specifically against them.
 
PadWarrior said:
How long do you guys think classic mode will be?
Click to expand...

I don't really care about classic mode tbh. I didn't care much for the subspace emissary either other than for the cool cutscenes. So I dunno, I don't think it's so much a matter of length rather than finding some way for it to be interesting. Maybe the mode they have now on the 3DS version with different routes to choose and a difficulty selection system a la Kid Icarus is the right way to go, though I don't really plan to play that that much anyway. I guess it might be like Kirby Triple Deluxe's fight minigame in length with like 7 stages plus bonus minigames though?
 
PadWarrior said:

Click to expand...

I think it will vary depending on the path you take like Find Mii 2.

Top path is longest, middle is ... in the middle, and bottom is shortest.


Orrrrrr if not that, then like 20 minutes tops.

Edit: That's a bad answer from me. I say you get like 3 fights, break some targets, 3 more fights, hopefully land on some platforms or run through a maze, 2 fights, metal fight, then Master, Both hands, or Tabuu depending on path taken, speed, and if you used a continue or not.
 
Glad I went to sleep because that was LATE.

But fuck yes, Meta Knight!

I still wonder if Sakurai will go nuts and give us Ganondorf tonight too.
