Anybody know what stage this screenshot takes place in?

Final Destination probably.

 

[J@hranimo]

Sakurai's probably furious about the leak though.

That poor squirrel in your avatar....

LOL

When's Direct? Cause Nintendo damn sure knows they need to do it now instead of leading up to TGS lol.

Loving the Kirby alt.

I wonder if Kirby, ZSS, Pit, or Captain Falcon have a shot at Mario Kart 8 dlc.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Is knowing which veteran characters will make it in from the outset such a bad thing? Most speculation for veterans seems to be along the lines of wondering if they received a visual upgrade, if they were buffed or nerfed, if they have any interesting new moves or costumes. The possibility they might not make it in at all is just a sour undertone most people would be happy to do without.

Most marketing is centred around newcomers regardless, so little would have to change if they adopted such a policy.

That's a good point. Though this might sound silly, I think keeping veterans a secret has its benefits, regardless if the character is a given or not. I think the excitement of seeing a veteran officially being in Smash Bros again is a pretty nice feeling. I had no doubt Wario and Captain Falcon were coming back, but seeing them confirmed was pretty nice, especially with how long I waited for it. This is gonna sound cheesy as all hell right now but it just makes you feel like saying "welcome back!". Hope I'm making sense with this, but I feel that had we known the veteran roster in advance the anticipation wouldn't be as great.

Even then, veterans could be a surprise regardless. Charizard and Dr. Mario are pretty good examples, and to some people ROB, Lucario, Ike, Puff, etc. (Though I don't agree with those lol)

I'm really tired right now (about to go to bed) so I don't know if I'm making sense and it's pretty hard to explain haha. Reading this again it's the same reason why a veteran being cut would be more unfortunate due to the wait, so I guess there's that too? I'm just speaking for myself, of course.

At this rate we should just hand Smash Bros to Platinum so that they can actually work with every Nintendo franchise like some people want them to.

Would be interesting to see Smash Bros done with a completely new eye.

That would Guarantee Bayonetta so i'm all for it.

 

[-Horizon-]

I...don't get the title.

maybe...maybe not.

Ooohhh so that's that one alt everyone was talking about a couple of days ago.

 

[SUPERJEM94]

maybe...maybe not.

KIRBY LOOKS AWESOME! I need this game soon ;__;

 

[oreomunsta]

Yeah, that's pretty amazing and hilarious. It's basically Meta Knight without his armor, just his faceplate.

It's just... it's just... Wow =]

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Two new downloadable content packs will take the world of Mario Kart 8 in directions the franchise has never seen before, while significantly expanding game-play options. The packs, which launch this fall and in spring of 2015, and are available for advance purchase starting Aug. 27 at $7.99 each (or $11.99 for both), deliver a ton of new content, including first-time crossover characters like Link from The Legend of Zelda franchise and both Isabelle and the Villager from the Animal Crossing series.

 

[Zeyphersan]

So if the MK8 DLC pricing is how Nintendo is going to handle their DLC business, Smash fans are in for a treat

Related to the MGS4 ending.

Well, I guess no direct?

Metal Gear espionage pack includes Snake, 2 stages, and 5 songs. $8.

That would be sad

Much as I dislike paid DLC, I must admit that Nintendo's giving us a good deal. That's a lot of content for $8/$12.

CUE THE CAT!!

Guys...it's a freaking steal...i just can't....

You all have a good memory then. That game came out when, 2007?

Man, you guys must have been hyperventilating with Artorias of the Abyss.

WHAT

This is amazing!

This has quite literally been one of the best weeks ever for Nintendo fans.

 

[-Horizon-]

Not sure who made this image but I noticed something. The CSS box says "Random." In Brawl if you chose random didn't it instantly choose a character? Or did it wait until the match started? I can't remember.

I am wondering...if maybe the Random box disappears in order to make room for a new character? at some point and clicking on the CSS box chooses a random character again.

Hahahaha this was good.

 

[OricWindstar]

Yeah, if this is indicative of what we have in store for Smash DLC, bring it on.

 

[TomShoe]

Ninty does DLC right.

 

[JazzmanZ]

yo wait a minute, only one of the DLC prix is using one of the ones on disc, could there still be 3 more future dlc :0

AW YIS, that's some fair pricing! A decent discount for buying both of them too.

I feel like a Direct could come any day now, showing off Pokken Tournament, MK8's DLC, and a Smash reveal or two.

 

[TheBlackAdept]

Holy crap, Animal Crossing courses. This is amazing.

 

[Vermillion]

You guys need to slow the fuck down. Thread 13 went fast.

Can't wait to play as Pink Gold Peach for $8.

"Buy both versions of Smash Bros. get all DLC free"

Watch that happen.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Really don't get why they don't just show Mr. Game & Watch on the website already.

 

[Mine01]

What?.. That's the greatest Kirby alt imaginable! It's a representation of Sakurai's ability to masterfully troll, even his own creations =p

Because what you said! didn't intend to sound like i was making fun of it, fricking sakurai is a genius.

 

[Starphoenix]

The fact that the DLC is using the Yoshi Egg icon that was found by hackers, and not the other three icons (Boo, Shine Sprite and Blue Shell), makes me think they're planning at least a few more packs over the next year or two.

 

[Cse]

Things are pretty slow now..

We need a PotD with info that was not leaked Sakurai

This.

The hype is deflating quickly after yesterday's leak.

So many people want to be surprised just one more time...I anticipate a lot of disappointment if it's ultimately confirmed that we've uncovered the entire roster. Not disappointment in the actual roster itself, but disappointment that there isn't just a little bit more...

 

[ratcliffja]

"Buy both versions of Smash Bros. get all DLC free"

I think that has a very good chance of happening.

2 GB...

I'm not gonna have enough room for it and Smash DLC. :0

I've been using an external hd since the Wii U launched.

 

[Cse]

Or even better, a Direct announcement.

It's a given at this point that Nintendo isn't going to announce or reveal all of the characters on the roster prior to release - there just isn't enough time left.

They've got 8 weekdays left to do something before the floodgates open and everything is officially leaked from people who got the game early.

Outlook for smash bros DLC is very very good.

What do you mean by that, for a non-tech saavy like myself.

I couldn't find 3D World, W101, or Tropical Freeze in retail, so I downloaded them. Really need to make sure to pre-order all future big releases.

 

[A Link to the Past]

We should make a tally of everyone who believes and disbelieves in the following:

Chorus Kids
Ridley
Mewtwo
Dixie Kong

13 weekdays, and agreed. I'm sure all the PotD have already been planned and written so the leak won't affect them. Sakurai could have prepared for the inevitable leaks a bit better though.

Chorus Kids - Yes.
Ridley - No.
