Maybe when you win a bet with me, make Heath give it to me that avatar, or acknowledge how nice of a person I am. :3

You're a really nice person, and I mean that sincerely.

You're nice even without the John Stamos hair, because as we all know, it's not about the John Stamos hair on the outside, but about the John Stamos hair on the inside

That being said, you'd be even nicer with John Stamos hair on the outside!

 

[BGBW]

So I heard, wow...I thought Sakurai did magic with the Mr. & G songs in the past, but this is on another level. Bless everyone involved in the creation of this.

I know we credit Sakurai with a lot when it comes to Smash, but it's a bit much to credit him for the music compositions. There's a reason he posted the composer list.

 

[Hours Left]

C'mon Sakurai, reveal something totally new and send everyone over the bend!

 

[Clefargle]

POTD better be sweet as hell tonight

 

[Mysterious]

LOLwut

No, they don't.

They consider Mario the big one, Pokemon the big one they don't have as much direct control over, and Zelda as a distant second if you don't count the mountain of Mii or Wii or whatever titles.

Yes they do.

Wii at E3 2005: "Next generation versions of Mario and Zelda are underway. We also have big plans for Metroid[...]"

See the Smash Bros trailer. What are the first three that you see? Mario, Zelda and Metroid, in that specific order.

What were the three marquee Gamecube titles? Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime and Wind Waker.

Look at the Nintendo 3DS puzzles. What are the first three franchises? Mario, Zelda and Metroid.

 

[Neiteio]

POTD better be sweet as hell tonight

I want it to be sweet, and also awesome

 

[Toxi]

There's nothing that suggests that they consider Metroid to be one of the "big 3". Pokémon, Donkey Kong and Kirby are all bigger than Metroid.

Zelda's so far below Mario that calling it "the big three" is still generous.

 

[OricWindstar]

POTD better be sweet as hell tonight

I don't know, I don't feel like a Peach taunt deserves its own POTD.

 

[Lunar15]

It's a pet peeve of mine.

I'll just have to root for Felix instead in order to prevent any more mistakes.

It's funny because in the very next sentence I made sure to praise all involved, aware that Sakurai alone didn't do it, yet that first part passed me by. Almost 1am around here for what it's worth haha

 

[johnbone]

Half the movie was a bad episode of Looney Tunes, and the other half was MJ trying to act.....ugh.....

....though I did enjoy it when I was young, I admit it!

 

[Neiteio]

Zelda's so far below Mario that calling it "the big three" is still generous.

I don't have any particular opinions on this matter. What would you consider Nintendo's Big Three? Or do you see it as more of a Big Two -- Mario and Pokémon -- and then everything else is just kind of there? Because that's how I feel sometimes.

 

[OricWindstar]

Haha, no man, I liked that movie as a kid, but I'm in no way going to try and convince people it's a good movie.

 

[J@hranimo]

I don't know, I don't feel like a Peach taunt deserves its own POTD.

But didn't the last time we got a Peach taunt, we got some sort of Direct?

 

[Kaban]

COME ON RIDLEY

[OricWindstar]

Good point...bring it on, Sakurai!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Wait still no potd yet?

 

[Toxi]

Yes they do.

Wii at E3 2005: "Next generation versions of Mario and Zelda are underway. We also have big plans for Metroid[...]"

See the Smash Bros trailer. What are the first three that you see? Mario, Zelda and Metroid, in that specific order.

The first Smash Bros Brawl trailer had Mario, Link, Pikachu, and Kirby as the four initial characters revealed.

 

[Zalman]

Ness reveal today pls

 

[Troubled Bat]

You're a really nice person, and I mean that sincerely.

You're nice even without the John Stamos hair, because as we all know, it's not about the John Stamos hair on the outside, but about the John Stamos hair on the inside

That being said, you'd be even nicer with John Stamos hair on the outside!

Only for a few days! Lol.

 

[Neiteio]

Haha, no man, I liked that movie as a kid, but I'm in no way going to try and convince people it's a good movie.

I recall Space Jam having both Bill Murray and Newman from Seinfeld, which has to at least qualify it as a runner-up to Citizen Kane

 

[Boss Doggie]

With Wolf probably not being in Smash 4 my hype is cut, so there's that.

I've moved on to Pokken.

 

[Omzz]

Wait still no potd yet?

are you surprised?

 

[Regulus Tera]

huh, today is the MOTHER 2 20th anniversary...

 

[Mysterious]

The first Smash Bros Brawl trailer had Mario, Link, Pikachu, and Kirby as the four initial characters revealed.

Melee's trailer had Mario (I count DK as part of the Mario IP), Zelda and Metroid as the first three.

i definitely see it as the big two but in my head fire emblem and pokemon with kid icarus are the big 3 with the rest in the back.....i want to dream.....

 

[MrSaturn99]

that's rad

 

[SoldnerKei]

 

[OricWindstar]

Bill Murray is the one great thing about that movie. He has this mentality of "I don't know why I'm here either."

I've moved on to Pokken.

Boss Doggie. Wolf will be back.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

3DS pics until launch confirmed

 

[Neiteio]

Only for a few days! Lol.

Damn, girl, look at you and me

Fall back, everyone else

 

[Ozium]

edit: more ideas ripped from KI:U?

called it

 

[Ceravic]

I'm back. I saw that text leak supposedly from the leaker and I have to believe it, at least until the 13th to keep my hype alive.

*Ceravic awakens from a dream forecasting Lucas' demise, and he prays for the inclusion of Lucas in Smash 4.*

 

[Richie]

huh, today is the MOTHER 2 20th anniversary...

And Metaknight was revealed exactly 2 weeks ago. I think Sakurai's gonna reveal the remaining veterans in a Direct, but come on Masahiro, give us Ness!

EDIT: Oh my. Mode specific Challenges?

 

[BGBW]

I can't even remember what I thought about Space Jam. As a Brit I wasn't really into Michael Jordan or basketball so that whole element was lost. Having seen it in the cinema my parents were with me so I'm sure they were bored as well.

Anyway....

Pic of the day. A panel in the Challenges area will unlock everytime you clear a challenge. When you unlock a panel, you'll see hints for unlocking panels directly adjacent to it on all sides. And this time, each panel will unlock pictures related to the challenge. This is tougher than it looks, you know? The challenges in the 3DS version are a little on the easy side, but the Wii U version challenges might be a bit trickier.

 

[foxuzamaki]

And there it is

 

[JoeM86]

Oops, beaten.

Wonder what the Xerneas bit is about

 

[johnbone]

Yay for achievements!

 

[Mysterious]

Meh

 

[Boss Doggie]

Boss Doggie. Wolf will be back.

I need proof.

WiiU for hardcore adults confirmed

 

[bokn]

Sakurai is pissed at the leaks, gives us mediocre PoTD.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Ness for the a Bowser Jr trailer then.

Spoiler

plz

Is the bottom screen displaying Toon Link suggesting he's a challenge to be unlocked, aka unlock able character?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Hey!

Another Menu!

Menu Week strikes again!

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

There's nothing that suggests that they consider Metroid to be one of the "big 3". Pokémon, Donkey Kong and Kirby are all bigger than Metroid.

Kirby's veeeeery debatable. As for Donkey Kong, outside of DKCR which sold crazy well, Metroid's been the bigger seller since Prime/Fusion. And seeing how poorly Tropical Freeze is doing, I'd definitely say Returns was an anomaly.

[Loco4Coco]

WiiU version confirmed to be for harcores only.
