There we go, fixed the wallpaper! So, while those question marks are quite as mysterious as they were pre-leak, it's still exciting to wait for official renders and trailers. And, at least for me, it's still crazy to see Shulk officially part of the Smash family. It truly is Shulk Time!

So how much more powerful is the new 3DS? If this existed back when Smash 4 started development, could it have saved the Ice Climbers?

 

[-Horizon-]

Agree with this 100%

Also I'd like to throw this out

If you had the option to completely axe the 3ds version , and instead move all its new and retro stages to the wiiu version and get another 5-10 characters on the roster would you?

No because I'm still in love with the idea of portable Smash.

This would be a cool thing (as I sit hear daydreaming for the long weekend).

Reggie gets on stage at PAX:

"Remember when we said Smash for Wii U would be out by Holiday 2014...we meant...Labor Day." *Appears on EShop*

Uh I know this sounds dumb and especially for your great work...... But would it be possible to get this wallpaper with just the gray and smash logo? I like to keep it minimal

For sure! You want the logo centered or where it is?

Rumored to have 2x the RAM and 2x the VRAM, two extra shoulder buttons, a C-Stick, and the New 3DS is 20% larger than the OG 3DS. More powerful CPU too. The New 3DS still has a better battery, but presumably still garbage pixel density.

Probably, yes, it would have saved the Ice Climbers.

Then that is a shame. There's no way IC could be new 3DS exclusive DLC, either.

Centered would be great!

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Who cares if thats the roster number? We're gonna get DLC anyway.

But we don't know that. We can assume, logically, that we of course will get DLC. But we don't know that, or what nature.

NEW Super Smash Bros 3DS in Summer of 2015 with ONE NEW CHARACTER

Yeah. I would do that.

 

[georly]

What controller can you use with xenoblade?

I played w/ classic controller pro, and it was great.

 

[PadWarrior]

Both Shulks just constantly lessening their own aggro


Wiimote + nunchuck or Classic controller

Not sure if Gamecube works but that's not an option for Wii U BC, anyway.

I played w/ classic controller pro, and it was great.

Awesome thanks guys

You have to wonder if it needs it. The 3DS version looks great.

[SkullHydra]

But with more RAM and CPU to use, it could run even better... and maybe they could put Ice Climbers back in.

That rumored double ram could save Ice Climbers /fact

 

[Green Mamba]

I anticipate it'll be similar for the WiiU version, albeit series that didn't get original stages on the 3DS version will get them on the WiiU, and vice-versa. So between the two versions, each franchise will have received all-original representation. I guess something had to give if they were to tackle a project of this magnitude. Fortunately, I like the retro stages they have chosen and feel they are good "evergreen" representations for those game worlds.

If they do do that vice-versa retro/new tradeoff, they're dumber than I thought on this stage business, because Sakurai's stated goal was to make the two versions feel like complete experiences on their own.

Deliberately gimping stage representation in one version because the other got a new stage sounds like a surefire way to make the games feel like incomplete halves to a whole that cannot be completed--the complete opposite of the stated mission of the two games.

In short, their decision on all things stages sucks. And I will bring this up at every opportunity, especially if the Wii U version follows this shitstain of a pattern.

Not at all. Portable Smash is such a blessing.

The fake attempts at ignorance in that are really obnoxious. And were even back when it was first posted. "uh... I'm important enough to see these characters early, and I know what's rumored and what you want to hear... but I'ma forget their names and give vague but obvious descriptions, k?" Examples:

Some white game and watch dudes. I honestly have no clue who these dudes were from as I drifted away at this part. I forgot their name and everything.

Some green-haired chick is playable. Started with a P and I wanna say Priscilla but that seems wrong.

Feel free. With any luck, they might hear what you're saying and patch the game with more stages.

We may already have the final roster, guys.

With my mediocre Japanese, I can confirm that it does indeed say, "More than 40 fighters."

 

[Troubled Bat]

Ice Climbers! Why!

 

[Muzy72]

Seriously, fuck the 3DS version so hard. I don't mind the roster at all, but cutting an entire franchise like that is such bullshit. And having Dr. Mario in and no Mewtwo is adding salt to the wound of Mewtwo fans. :/

Without hesitation. I expect almost all of my gaming will happen on the console version once it's out.the novelty of portable smash is disposable to me.

Centered would be great!

Here you go! I also added Red 3DS, Blue Wii U, and Purple Combo-Platform variants for anyone who wants them.

I don't get it. I love both versions. The more smash the better!
