Oh, haha, didn't even notice the Brinstar reveal! Is the 3DS version just getting Brawl's past stages?

 

[Dimitri LH]

Fountain of Dreams for 3DS, believe!

.....should of let her hair loose to make it perfect! Great update though!

Pic of the day. Looking at the number of days we have left for development, it would be an impossible task to create this… That's what I told my staff. But thanks to the determination of her female designer, these Zero Suit outfits got completed in time. From the ending of Metroid: Zero Mission, here's Samus in shorts!

Here's a look at the 3DS version. You can use the same outfit variations in both the 3DS and Wii U versions.

hnnnnnng!!

 

[boclfon479]

whats up with orange ZSS's left foot in the Wii U pic?

it looks... elongated

 

[friskykillface]

:3 oh

dat Samus



still in development? DELAY INCOMING

 

[SuperChoco]

Is this the first time we're seeing Brinstar on the 3DS?

 

[Neiteio]

Interesting he mentions her designer is female; perhaps to foil anyone jumping in with "this is sexist" remarks?

Yeah, it's super-transparent that Sakurai is trying to avoid sexism accusations. I mean, why mention the fact the designer is female unless you're trying to avoid this particular design choice looking like male fan service.

 

[munchie64]

It seems Sakurai is working his team hard lol

 

[MrSaturn99]

sup brinstar

 

[Shun]

So we're getting Metroid Fit U in 2015. Sounds good.

 

[oreomunsta]

I'm... Gonna have trouble sleeping tonight now....

The alternate costumes reference the suitless Samus costumes in two of the 2D games. Strangely, the Fusion one came first but he mentions Zero Mission as the source.

Fusion

Zero Mission

Green hair, please.

Japan never got Justin Bailey, so it won't happen.

 

[Growlie19]

Hellooooooooo, bounty hunting nurse!

This gives me hope that every character gets at least one alt.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Interesting he mentions her designer is female; perhaps to foil anyone jumping in with "this is sexist" remarks?

Smart move. And I've been clamoring for this alt since Brawl!

 

[Mory Dunz]

Welp

 

[Troubled Bat]

Brinstar!? >:000000

 

[Megalosaro]

...Excuse me for a moment guys...

Is Samus the closest thing Nintendo has to a sex symbol, btw?

 

[Gilbals]

Is this the first time we're seeing Brinstar on the 3DS?

That's what I was just wondering.

 

[OricWindstar]

What the FUDGE.

So we're going down this road, are we Sakurai? Alright, then we better see some skimpy ass costumes for Ike, Captain Falcon, Little Mac, Male Wii Fit Trainer and Snake. (If he's included.)

I don't have a problem with some cheesecake, but there better damn well be a huge slab of beefcake right alongside it.

Awakening Summertime costumes incoming!

Yeah, it's super-transparent that Sakurai is trying to avoid sexism accusations. I mean, why mention the fact the designer is female unless you're trying to avoid this particular design choice looking like male fan service.

Can't blame him, honestly. Not that there's not a place for the feminist argument, because there totally is, but this is sort blocking the "pseudo-feminist" tumblr posters who think anytime you show more skin it's "sexist."

My two cents as a male, anyway.

 

[Dryk]

I'm torn, ZSS gets enough shit as is. But these costumes were always cooler than the zero suit.

 

[udivision]

"Days left for development?"

In the days of post-release updates and fixes, that phrase seems scary and archaic.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

These alts only make her freakish contortions even more apparent. Orange ZSS appears to have no less than 3 dislocated joints, and is missing a few ribs.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yeah, it's super-transparent that Sakurai is trying to avoid sexism accusations. I mean, why mention the fact the designer is female unless you're trying to avoid this particular design choice looking like male fan service.

Suitless Samus has been nothing but fanservice bait since the very first game so who the fuck cares.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Fusion> Zero


....I like women with their long hair let loose okay!?

 

[daripad]

Is this the first time we're seeing Brinstar on the 3DS?

Yes

 

[Kriken]

Sweet alt for ZSS, hoping other characters get something similar

 

[theprodigy]

Was Brinstar shown earlier?

 

[Moonlight]

oh lord.

I hope this means Robin alts.

sakurai pls

 

[EroticSushi]

 

[Drago]

Was Brinstar shown earlier?

Nope, this is the first time we're seeing it

 

[Neoxon]

So, Brinstar for the 3DS version. Okay.

Night, guys.

 

[brinstar]

oh I got confirmed

Wow they did it. Neat.

BOY that really shows off some of the animation jank.

 

[C.Olimar788]

Best alternate costumes so far. I'm not a big fan of Zero Suit Samus, but I cannot complain about having good Metroid references.

Here's to hoping that suited Samus gets at least one alternate costume set as well. Still crossing my fingers for the Fusion Suit, even if it's unlikely considering E3's palette set.

 

[Greenzxy]

Japan never got Justin Bailey, so it won't happen.

Awakening Summertime costumes incoming!

Yeah, if only Chrom was playable. :/

Please, lets not start the tumblr accusations. The way people some people talk about that site, I truly think they don't have any idea of the true scope of it.

There is literally every opinion under the sun there, like any other social media platform.

 

[Enforced]

Nice! Also yay brinstar stage is back.

Yeah but why the boots still, though.

 

[Major Gripex]

"Rated 'E10+' for Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief, and Mild Suggestive Themes"

Not really, but hey there's skin.

OMG this is so sexist blah blah blah.

Sakurai better release an alt for Captain Falcon in a Banana Hammock to make it fair

Spoiler

please.

 

[munchie64]

Brinstar + same outfits as Wii U = Awesome 3DS

 

[SenorArdilla]

Oh. Brinstar is coming back in the 3DS version.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Yeah but why the boots still, though.

She gotta fly somehow.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

The most important thing about this pic is seeing Brinstar on 3DS. Not because of Brinstar itself - not a top-10 level by any means - but that in conjunction with Jungle Japes makes it seem likely that other Melee stages that were in Brawl could be on the 3DS

which means

the 3DS could very well get Green Greens, aka the best Smash stage of all time.

Nothing short of a playable Paper Mario could make me happier than seeing Green Greens on 3DS.

 

[Gleethor]

I'm starting to get nervous that none of the franchises we've seen get past stages so far have any original stages on the same version where they have a past stage. Like I really hope that jungle japes isn't the only DK 3ds stage and so on.

[Roo]

Hope we get Frigate Orpheon for Wii U from Brawl as a retro stage.

 

[J@hranimo]

So this update is cool for a few reasons:

- Obvious ZSS alts
- Melee Brinstar confirmed
- Another rare Wii U/3DS pic update
- Wii U version is still coming this year
- (Blind Speculation) Maybe the new Metroid 3DS stage will be based off of Zero Mission?

Ehhh that's all I got, I'm tired. zzz.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Sakurai!!! FOUNTAIN OF DREAMS FOR 3DS PLS

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to generalize; I'm actually an active Tumblr user myself. I was just referring to stuff like the person getting mad that Little Mac hit a girl, which was "sexist". Of course, every other social media site also has silly opinions.
