Support NeoGAF

[Metal B]

Seeing the 3DS Menus reminded me, how little we know about the Wii U-Version. You think, Sakurai goes into full Wii U-Mode after the release of the 3DS game in Japan or after the worldwide release in October? There should be at least on more Direct to show the new Solo-Mode for the Wii U-Version

Spoiler

and hopefully DLC!

 

[Kensho]

Well it's about an hour and a half until tomorrow in Japan. Then assuming stores open around 8 am, that's another 8 hours. Give a few hours, say 5, for people to play and type stuff up and then impressions start being online. So that's about 14/15 hours from now.

But that's a decent amount of guessing there, but a rough idea.

Thanks for the math! Now I know I will wake up to 30 new smashgaf pages (hopefully)

We'll get info dump of all the secret characters about once a week after 3DS launch, kinda like how brawl worked, though the pictures will be the Wii U version, rather than 3DS version. I'd guess Wii U push will start mid october/ early november.

E3 trailer.
Here at 4:27

Oh wow, I totally forgot about that part of the trailer. Guess this game has so much content is difficult to keep track of all of it

 

[Who]

I wish there was a MEGA tier of characters or a specific mode you could choose from.

Ganon, Giga Bowser, Ridley, Fierce Diety, Andross etc.

All giant characters on giant stages.

 

[ObbyDent]

That's true. I feel like I know the menu layout like the back of my hands now.

I probably would have been fine since the bottom screen has pictures anyway.

So, good to know that we finally know what the streetpass content is.

It's this!

Woah, that is basically grand pin slammer. I'm okay with this.

 

[Kensho]

I wish there was a MEGA tier of characters or a specific mode you could choose from.

Ganon, Giga Bowser, Ridley, Fierce Diety, Andross etc.

All giant characters on giant stages.

With some work on it and stuff... that could be awesome. There are more powerful versions of the characters almost always anyways.

 

[superNESjoe]

I'm getting into that hype-burnout stage where I'm just sick of hearing about the game and discussing the same old things to death.

It's time for this freaking game to just come out already. I really wish it was getting an international release like Pokemon X/Y.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Only a few more days huh

Wonder how the PotD will be handled

 

[Benzychenz]

I wish there was a MEGA tier of characters or a specific mode you could choose from.

Ganon, Giga Bowser, Ridley, Fierce Diety, Andross etc.

All giant characters on giant stages.

And they're all designed to be stupidly overpowered.

 

[Who]

With some work on it and stuff... that could be awesome. There are more powerful versions of the characters almost always anyways.

Yeah I ran into a dead end thinking of more characters though. Umm.. That giant Charizard from the intro to the Pokemon anime?

 

[astrogamer]

That's true. I feel like I know the menu layout like the back of my hands now.

It's this!

It finally makes sense now. Well, as closest to sense as Smash Bros. can be.

 

[ffdgh]

3ds to wii u connectivity info.

 

[georly]

It finally makes sense now. Well, as closest to sense as Smash Bros. can be.

I wonder how it works, exactly. Like, clearly, I know how it works mechanically... but what ARE you streetpassing? Is it one of your custom fighters, and the attributes (Attack/Defense/Speed) map to the top/pin? What are the rewards? Coins? Random trophies? Do you set a 'prize' on your custom fighter, that if someone defeats it, they get the prize?

Clearly you get coins, you can see the coins in the gif when a top/pin gets knocked off the screen... but is that all? If it's just coins... is it really worth it? Maybe if it's a lot of coins. How many coins do you get? Is it based on the 'level' of their custom fighter? Their global smash power (global smash power is presumably 0 if they never go online, as seen from the leaks)?

0 global smash power:

 

[Benzychenz]

Yeah I ran into a dead end thinking of more characters though. Umm.. That giant Charizard from the intro to the Pokemon anime?

Practically any legendary would work.

How about Reshiram and Zekrom?

At least when the game comes out, we'll have some more non-DLC stuff to talk about. Why is Captain falcon still so bad? Can you really not wavedash? Is it true that the online is terrible? wtf Sakurai?

 

[DrStiles]

Only a few more days huh

I would guess more pictures of the wii u version, wii u exclusive modes, wii u/3ds connectivity, amiibos, and secret characters/stages maybe.

 

[superNESjoe]

When the game comes out I (hopefully) won't be partaking in those conversations. I'll just be playing the game and enjoying it.

Chances are I'll come back to complain about Dark Pit some more though.

Nah man, I'm talking bout the Japaneae release to tide you over!

 

[Red Arremer]

Wasn't this menu in one of the leaks, particularly one that was considered fake? I remember this clearly being in one of them.

 

[Who]

Practically any legendary would work.

How about Reshiram and Zekrom?

Oh shoot yeah.
Also Valoo would be cool.

 

[Thorakai]

I really, really hope online is great for the 3DS. Its about the most important feature for a game like this but we haven't gotten much in the way of information for how its handled yet.

 

[Benzychenz]

Yo I was just looking at EB Games's website and the upcoming releases on Wii U is practically a whole range of awesome Nintendo plushes. But one stood out to me, mainly because I don't understand why it exists, bask in its glory:

 

[astrogamer]

Yeah I ran into a dead end thinking of more characters though. Umm.. That giant Charizard from the intro to the Pokemon anime?

Well there are legendary pokemon like Groudon and Rayquaza that are huge. There's also stuff like Metal Face, various mid bosses from Mega Man games, some bosses from Tropical Freeze, Petey Piranha, Kraid, enemies from Find Mii, and even bosses from past games like Master Hand and Tabuu

 

[HerbertFish]

Any good 2ds bundles to buy? Not interested in that new mario kart one

I'll still be here because of work.

Really I'll probably be more on Smashboards after the game is out. Speculation community there is bad, but there's usually some good gameplay analysis/discussion/guides.

Ooooh that better come to the US. Sold.

A plush of a 35 year old man who thinks he's a fairy...such irony.

Haha that's awesome. I might have to get it for my sister, she loves Tingle.

 

[Trey]

I refuse to call the 3DS version Smash 4 and the WiiU version Smash 5. Just like I refuse to call TOR KotOR 3...9.

When I say Smash, I'm referring to the Wii U version by default.

Both need to release. Or at least some more information.

 

[Fireblend]

By the way... isn't that Shulk in this gif? Could we have missed a hint about his inclusion at E3? Or is it some other fighter I'm forgetting?

 

[Zevenberge]

By the way... isn't that Shulk in this gif? Could we have missed a hint about his inclusion at E3? Or is it some other fighter I'm forgetting?

Zero Suit perhaps?

 

[Finale Fireworker]

By the way... isn't that Shulk in this gif? Could we have missed a hint about his inclusion at E3? Or is it some other fighter I'm forgetting?

That's Zero Suit Samus.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

You're talking about the yellow pin on the bottom, right? I think that's ZSS; the hair looks wrong for Shulk.

lol awesome.

Hmmm... yeah, I see. Nevermind then

 

[Benzychenz]

But seriously there isn't even a Link plush, the two Zelda ones are Zelda herself and Tingle.

Spoiler

Tingle will be the protagonist of Zelda U

You can look through em all here anyways:

Sorta tempted to get the Isabelle one.

 

[Durden77]

Why did Kirby and Dedede get new final Smashes and not Sheik or Toon Link?

 

[SmithnCo]

Why did Kirby and Dedede get new final Smashes and not Sheik?

For Dedede, maybe too many models onscreen... Kirby I dunno.

 

[georly]

Why did Kirby and Dedede get new final Smashes and not Sheik or Toon Link?

Sakurai bias. Also, to be fair, Kirby and Dedede had pretty bad final smashes. Especially dedede, who had the WORST. Doesn't explain why peach's wasn't changed, but whatever, it's not THE worst.

 

[Thorakai]

Wait, Peach's Final Smash is the same? Da fuck

 

[Benzychenz]

Good lord looking at those plushes I stumbled upon and impulse bought this:

I used all my will power to not buy any evolutions because I know once I've got one there's no stopping me.

 

[ffdgh]

Wait, Peach's Final Smash is the same? Da fuck

Sadly....disappointing.

 

[cmChimera]

Why did Kirby and Dedede get new final Smashes and not Sheik or Toon Link?

Wait....Where is Dedede's new final smash?

 

[PadWarrior]

 

[georly]

Wait....Where is Dedede's new final smash?

The origin of the Dedede Final Smash image comes from a guide on iNSIDER, you can Google it.

Though it looks pretty and neat, there is nothing really new in this book. However, we can make an educated guess that this is, indeed, the starting roster as it too excludes Lucina.

.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Wait....Where is Dedede's new final smash?

In an instruction booklet, apparently he sucks someone in an beats the shot out of them with his hammer.

 

[Jawmuncher]

To me smash 3DS and Smash WiiU are both smash 4.

They're the same product in my eyes.

 

[Macka]

Wait, Peach's Final Smash is the same? Da fuck

Aside from Bowser, it doesn't appear like much effort was put into the old characters. We still have Falcondorf, Peach still has her useless Final Smash and how much do you want bet Fox & Falco still both have the Landmaster?

 

[PadWarrior]

I can't find that guide on google
