Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

Just had the weirdest thing happen. flubit (you plug in an amazon link and it tried to get you a thing for cheaper, usually like 10% cheaper but still mostly ontime and all so it's good. Used them a bunch before) sent me an email saying:

Dispatched - Order #******
ORDER NUMBER:
***
PRODUCT NAME:
Super Smash Bros. (3DS)
ESTIMATE DELIVERY DATE:

Like... WTF. I know it's not really dispatched the game because it's a month away for the UK but if they are sending me something then it can't be Smash. Unless they are sending me a Melee or Brawl or something but it's listing a 3DS game.

I'm gonna have to kick up a fuss aren't I?
You know what to do

Ask customer support if it's really coming :O, is this from Amazon US? or another online retailer?
 
:O Keep us updated, but it sounds like an online glitch. Unless they're sending you the japanese version, lol.

I did think maybe it's the JP version but I even checked the website of the merchant they are using to fulfil the order (thegamecollection.net) and they list the English version with it's release as Oct 3rd.

when I saw the email I thought it was for Hyrule Warriors as that's out soonish and I did an order through Flubit for it but that's still processing. I even checked on thegamecollection.net for other smash things and they have Brawl but the price is a lot less so I don't think it's that. It is most likely an error but I've not received dispatch confirmations in error before and have had no problems from flubit previously (apart from when they started to only accept Amazon links but that isn't a problem with the service or customer support stuff).

Ask customer support if it's really coming :O, is this from Amazon US? or another online retailer?

I used this link from amazon.co.uk.
Already used the customer support to ask what's going on.

It'd be hilarious if you got a japanese copy early but couldn't play it because of the region lock

the most useless broken release date incident ever.

Hope you have a Japanese 3DS then.

WHAT THE FUUUUUU---

I'm gonna check some local stores around here if that's true.
 
I do wonder if EU/NA press outlets are going to get review copies super early like Nintendo has been doing with their past few games. I remember they got Mario Kart 8 2-3 weeks early or something like that.
 
Did you already finish both?

Glad to hear you like 'em!
Not yet but I'm having such a blast playing them. How awesome is link that he can stop a charging goat with his bare hands and toss it. Because of these two games I want to learn link in smash now
 
Correct me if i'm wrong, but:

POTD continuing until one of the releases (not sure of 3DS in NA/EU or Wii U) OR end of the PotD, whichever happens first.
Japan OT for 3DS
NA/EU OT for 3DS

The following may or may not be separate threads - it depends on release gaps
Japan OT for Wii U
NA OT for Wii U
EU OT for Wii U

There will be only one Thread for all regions. I'm saying that Smash 3DS thread would last two months in general discussion due to the fact it have two different release date.

If people already capped the thread for Smash 3DS OT before NA/EU release then we would have OT2 to be shared with NA/EU release date. Hopefully I cleared it up?
 
You must be the chosen one.

Also, I'm trying to beat the mega man games (stuck on Shadow Man - Mega man 3) and the Earthbound games before Smashing. Hype is my fuel.

I crunched through xenoblade IN A WEEK. Well, 1.5 weeks. Very glad I did. I don't know that I have time to beat anything else before smash release. Maybe some mega man games, but i beat them all before. I can give pac-land a whirl? lol.

I think i've beaten/played all the games corresponding to all the newcomers. Shulk was the last one, and I just checked that off the list.

I've played and beaten:
Every SUPER mario game
Every Zelda game
Beaten yoshi's island, but not any other yoshi games
Every metroid game except hunters/pinball
Every mainline pokemon game except for X/Y and B/W2
Star fox snes/64
Every original DKC, and i'm halfway through DKCR, and TF is still shrink wrapped
Every numbered mega man game, every numbered X (except for 8)
Every pikmin game
Sonic 1, 2, 3, knuckles, and adventure - quit after that
Every punch out!! game
KI 1 and Uprising, haven't played GB one yet
Played every F-Zero (all tracks), but never 100%ed any of them
Fire emblem sacred stones and awakening - none of the others :/
Only Kirby on NES and super star (sorry, kirby is boring to me, I never make it past world 2).
Earthbound (but not mother 1 and 3)
All of the warioware games and Wario land shake it - none of the other warioland/world games - yet...
Played every animal crossing ever (put most time into original and 3DS - over 80 hours each)
Played every wii fit, but only the minigames
All of the game and watch collections
All of the mainline numbered metal gear games (and peace walker)
Played and hated Ice climbers, but love them in smash

Games I've never played, yet have smash bros reps:
Any ROB games
Mother 3
Any fire emblem STARRING marth or ike



So gaf, what's your smash bros game cred? Which characters on the roster have you played in other games? Which ones have you not?

There will be only one Thread for all regions. I'm saying that Smash 3DS thread would last two months in general discussion due to the fact it have two different release date.

Yes, thank you
 
Why do you do this to yourself?

Pfff, those amateurs.

You want to see delusional? Here you go:

#Klonoa4Smash

#IWantToBelieve

I mean, why wouldn't Namco get a second rep? He's perfect, and they worked on the game. Plus it's about time they relaunch the franchise like Ubisoft did with Rayman.
What better way to reintroduce him than as a surprise Smash character?
I'm gonna boycott the game if he's not in for sure.
 
I reeeeally hope it's some kind of mistake because there is no way the EU versions are already produced and shipped out right? Like, if it's not a mistake they've either sent me the completely wrong game, the JP version or some bootleg, fake EU copy with a printed out cover and a sticker on a copy of Monkey Ball or something.

The thing that gets me is while Flubit might seem a bit dodgy or unreliable due to the nature of the site (plug in an amazon link and get x item for a bit cheaper) they have been more than reliable with me getting me some games a day early and others day of release.

Looking at my past orders all of them (even my Nexus 4) were from Fireworks Merchant Limited and this is my first fulfilment by thegamecollection.net but they look super reliable from reviews online.

You know who wasn't deconfirmed this weekend? Isaac.

All aboard the still delusional train! Choo Choo!

yits7cxq8.png


I know he'll probably only get a slightly touched up Brawl model, as with Saki and Lyn, but it'd be nice if they could give his AT his updated design. Though that's probably too much to hope for.
 
Characters whose games I haven't played:

Captain Falcon - never played an F-Zero game
R.O.B. - never even seen one in the flesh
Shulk - waiting for Xenoblade 3DS
Little Mac - never played a Punch Out

I bet I would be a lot more hyped about Shulk being in if I had played Xenoblade. That'll have to wait though :P

Maybe for Smash 5 friend, maybe for Smash 5

lol nope
 
So gaf, what's your smash bros game cred? Which characters on the roster have you played in other games? Which ones have you not?

I've never played the Metroid series despite being a major fan of Ridley.
Other than that, Fire Emblem, Earthbound, Metal Gear Solid, and Xenoblade are the only series I haven't played, though I've only played games with R.O.B. and Starfox through cameos. I also haven't played a game with Ganondorf himself, though I've played the first Zelda with Ganon.
 
So gaf, what's your smash bros game cred? Which characters on the roster have you played in other games? Which ones have you not?
Haven't Played Any Games from these franchises:
- Pikmin
- Kid Icarus
- Mother/Earthbound
- Wii Fit
- Game & Watch
- Whatever R.O.B was in.
 
For Smash, never played:

No Game and Watch game
No Wii Fit
No game with Ike or Marth (unless you count their appearances in FE:A)
No ROB game (does Mario Kart DS count?)
Never played Xenoblade
Never played Pikmin 3 so no Alph
 
So gaf, what's your smash bros game cred? Which characters on the roster have you played in other games? Which ones have you not?

I don't think I've played through every game from any character's series, but I've played at least one game for everyone except:

-Olimar
-DK/Diddy. I remember playing a bit of a DKC game years ago on my cousin's Gameboy, but I never got very far.
-Marth/Ike. I've played Awakening, but never a game with either of them in it.
-Ice Climbers
-Game & Watch
-ROB
-Sonic (lol)
-Zero Suit Samus (if she counts as separate from Samus, that is.)
-Pit
-Little Mac
-Shulk
-Mega Man
EDIT: Duck Hunt Dog, too. Forgot about him.
this list turned wayyy longer than I thought it would be
 
Missing:

Xenoblade
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Any Metroid game
Any Pikmin game
R.O.B. anything

Characters whose games I haven't played:

Captain Falcon - never played an F-Zero game
R.O.B. - never even seen one in the flesh
Shulk - waiting for Xenoblade 3DS
Little Mac - never played a Punch Out

I bet I would be a lot more hyped about Shulk being in if I had played Xenoblade. That'll have to wait though :P

For many of us, I'm sure it's a much smaller list of which ones you haven't played, so I like what you guys did - let's keep it like that. What games have you yet to play that have reps in smash bros?

I'll reitirate my list

Never played a game STARRING marth or ike, but i used them in awakening.
Never played a ROB game
Never played Mother 3


Edit: Wow, some of you guys are really missing out. You guys have some work to do!

No Wario (as his own series)
No ROB
No Duck Hunt
No Kid Icarus (although I might pick up Uprising on sale on the Eshop)
No Megaman
No Wii Fit

I can't remember everything, but I can assure you I have played at least 1 of every game franchise included in Smash, including Game & Watch.
 
I've never player kid icarus

After you're done w/ Zelda, you need to correct that.

3D classics KI for 3DS is great, game has a reverse difficulty curve, though, so once you beat the first couple of levels, the game is a cakewalk. KI:U is a must-play for any nintendo fan. So good.

You've never played a game w/ ganondorf in it? So you never played OoT? Twilight princess? Wind Waker?

I'm just scared about the controls for uprising lol

They're actually great controls, controls differently from a normal shooter, but definitely not in a way that it makes it control worse than a normal one, just in a way that makes it control differently. It really is like spinning a globe.
 
Meh, Pikmin isn' my kind of game. Xenoblade is my number one priority.
I also forgot Earthbound and Mother 3 so...

GetOut.jpg

Also I'm surprised at how many of you have never played a Megaman game... how old are you guys? I thought I would be among the ones not to have played the most games but... I'm feeling rather proud of myself right now
KuGsj.gif
 
I've played all of them except for Xenoblade, assuming you count SSE as a ROB game! Don't own all of them though, got rid of Wii Fit and Duck Hunt a while ago. I'll be able to get Xenoblade once it comes out on Nu3DS!
