So Shocking Alberto finally broke, uh.

 

[Toxi]

LOL the best part about Xenoblade spoilers is that unless you've beaten the game, there's still another layer of spoilers way more earth-shattering than the ones you think are so sacred.

So Shocking Alberto finally broke, uh.

"finally"?

 

[J@hranimo]

Personally, I don't want a Pre-3DS Direct unless it gave more info about the Wii U version's exclusive modes, stages, and release date.

But 3DS directs are for.. uh.. 3DS? lol

 

[Pikma]

At this point, I'm starting to think we're just not getting a pre-release Direct for Smash 3DS. If it was going to happen, it'd happen by next week at the very latest. They wouldn't do a US/EU-exclusive Direct for the release after the Japanese version is already out.

I hope there's one next week, my avatar depends on it

 

[Kyzon]

I want a strictly Wii U direct after the 3DS version is out in the major territories. A 3DS one doesn't seem to make sens this late in the game.

?

What did I miss?

 

[tonyh24613]

Pic of the day. So what is this Games & More option in the menu? I assume that some people may use this mode the most.

This is what you see after you click on Games & More. There are many modes to choose from. There's the Options button, too.

Futhermore, this is what the screen looks like after you click on Solo. In the Stadium, you can find the Home-Run Contest, various Multi-Man Smash challenges, and Target Blast!

I hope it's on Thursday.

EDIT: Another lame PotD?

 

[Fandangox]

"finally"?

Yeah.

Pretty much.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

It sort of makes sense. The game's receiving heavy marketing regardless, and already had a Direct earlier in the year. Though a Direct for the Wii U version still seems very likely.

Yeah, I still think we'll get a Direct focused on the WIi U version sometime after the US/EU 3DS release.

 

[Feltrol]

Filler pic?

 

[Cody_D165]

SAKURAIIIIIIIII

 

[J@hranimo]

But 3DS directs are for.. uh.. 3DS? lol

Well I guess I mean Smash Bros Direct 2: Wii U release date please

 

[random25]

What? We've seen this before, right?

 

[Omzz]

that big friday finish

 

[SuperSah]

Menu week returns.

 

[OricWindstar]

Menus! All of the menus! How can I hold all these menus!?

 

[boclfon479]

SAKURAIIIIIIIII

theres a wii u button there, maybe he will say something about connectivity?

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure we've seen the main menu in a PotD before.

But the bottom screen is different cause a different icon is being selected.

Huh

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Wow, more menu pics -- including one we've already seen -- for the sixth-to-last PotD before release? Yikes... Sakurai does not give one fuck about our expectations. I love it!

 

[J@hranimo]

Sakurai...you better explain yourself!

Spoiler

In that Miiverse comment

lol menus

 

[Kyzon]

Sakurai is saltier than Jlaw about leaks.

We're getting nothing until the game is out.

 

[Fandangox]

?

What did I miss?

Nothing. I tend to make that remark as a joke every time Alberto becomes witty about something you are all speculating.

 

[SkullHydra]

PotD

Yup. Perfect .gif for the occasion.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

So, seems DeDeDe has a new Final Smash...just saw a scan showing it.

Like a bomb pops out of his hammer or something.

Ah, gotcha.

 

[Benzychenz]

Megaton :O

 

[Makai]

So a Japanese release GAF stream war. It is on

I don't think the online will run that smoothly. My wireless router is cack, and it's going to go from England to Japan and wherever you are to Japan and then back again. There will be lag.

I was on wifi while testing my stream and it seemed to run okay. I'll have ethernet hooked up before release, though. Also, I highly doubt it will use dedicated servers. I bet it'll be player hosted, so data would only have to be transmitted between you and me. I live in USA, so maybe we can expect 5-10 frames of lag?

P.S. Hardly a war. How can I compete with the humble owner of a massive website?

EDIT: Did Mario Kart use dedicated servers?

 

[Dimitri LH]

well....we got 3 pics. Thats good.....right?

I wouldn't be surprised if next week there was a POTD comment that said: "PIC OF THE DAY. You'll notice there's nothing uploaded. That's because you jerks already know everything anyway."

Where are we looking?

 

[Thorakai]

ending the week with a bang

 

[Zubz]

Well, I stayed up to see the last Friday Night post, and...

Spoiler

I'm Mustache Kong.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

A scan of what?

I guess some magazine? Actually, to me it looks glossy like a manual...

Anyway, it shows Diddy and DeDeDe's moves off, and DeDeDe's Final Smash is clearly different.

"Games and More" is not a good title

I'll be okay with all these menus if we can at least get some more music.

We're not getting anything until release, are we...?

This can't be real.

Sakurai is so dang salty about that leak.

"Games. And more."

Megaton confirmed.
