That's because they probably aren't.
Where is your faith?
There is day 1 paid DLC in Mario Golf World Tour, and there is on disc paid DLC in Hyrule Warriors.
So you're paying $60 a week to play it early. Dedication!I couldn't help myself, but it's gonna cost me nearly $180 to play it 3 week early
That's really all you need. Everything else can be deduced by process of elimination.
Worth every penny, when I know the alternative would be to suffer for 3 solid weeks.

Out of curiosity, why those four games?
The only core series Zelda games I haven't played yet are Majora's Mask, Phantom Hourglass, and Link Between Worlds.
Wait, really? lol

If the mods don't want too many Smash threads we could agree to make this the official information thread i.e. trailers and PotDs while the OT can have general talk.
It's Smash Bros, dude
Ha! Well, I owe you thanks for encouraging me to play Xenoblade Chronicles. That'll make my own wait much easier. Feel free to check out my LTTP in progress. :-D

Metroid: While i was a kid i thought samus was a dude for a long time, I have also never played any of the primes series or the nes games as well though i have been interested.(Introduced through smash)
Kirby: I played quite a number of kirby games from nightmare in dream land to the gameboy one i briefly played crystal shards but kirby has to be one of the franchises i have a fairly big attachment towards (I was introduced to him with smash)
Donkey Kong: i played a few of the rare games and the gbc port but like all games i never really finished any though i found em to be fun. ( i was not introduced to the series through smash)
Star Fox: I played a bit of 64? i tried the ds one a couple of times as well i did enjoy what i played of it though like the others though i was introduced to the series through smash
F-Zero:I have never played an f-zero and was introduces to the series through smash
Punch-Out!! : Never played the games but heard some neat things about the wii game it sounds like fun
Kid Icarus : Never heard of the series until uprising which i really adore and like (I was first introduced to the series with smash though.)
Fire Emblem: This series was also like so many others introduced through smash I only played awakening,sacred stones, fire emblem and the series for the gc and wii i never beat fire emblem or the gc/wii games but i beat sacred stones and have done multiple playthroughs of awakening. Probably my favorite video game series next to pokemon
Ice Climbers: Never heard of played the games (Introduced through smash)
[BPokemon[/B]:This was the series i was introduced in my childhood i only played a bit of the original blue and red and first dove into the series during g/s/c specifically crystal version probably my favorite series of all time and still is to this day
Animal Crossing: I played the gc version a lot when i was kid through i never really played much of the other ones
Mother: Never played the series or knew what the series was about until brawl
Pikmin: I played pikmin 2 multiplayer and some single player really liked the game tho i never beat it (A pattern is forming....lol) I never played 1 or 3 though i have had some interest in playing 3 if i get the chance.

Game & Watch: I played a few game and watch games but i never knew he was his own character until melee

Mega Man: Never played the "megaman" games and only played the x series as well as the battle net series really enjoyed battle net and the x series was okay
Xenoblade: I own xenoblade played for about an hour and then stopped i want to go back to it eventually
Duck Hunt: I never played duck hunt
okay so yeah i guess u can call me a terrible nintendo fan since i havent played most of thier games barring maybe 2-3 series nor played any of their classics despite the fact i only buy and play nintendo consoles lol. I also never played games much as a kid infact not at all since it was a rare thing in korea i think i didnt get my first gameboy color until i was 13 lol. And as i grew older games have been getting further and further pushed back

The former was due to the game's development schedule permitting a large amount of content to be added after certification, and the latter is Tecmo Koei doing their thing. I doubt either would be the case for Smash - its hectic schedule wouldn't permit a Mario Golf situation, and anything on-disc, even something as minor as costumes, would conflict with Sakurai's ethos.
I won't go all in, but franchises I haven't played? Sure, why not.
Ice Climber: Beyond the Masterpiece in Brawl, I've never really had a desire to play it. If they offered it free via Club Nintendo or something I'd give it a spin.
Game & Watch: Originals were before my time, naturally, and the re-releases and such have never interested me enough to actually get them.
ROB: Never had an NES, and it's pretty tough to play his games nowadays without one, I think. And what's the point without the actual ROB?
Xenoblade Chronicles: It's on my list, but I'm not really a JRPG guy and it's WAY expensive.
Duck Hunt: Yeah, I'm SUPER surprised by this one. I could have sworn I played it at some point - it's so ubiquitous - but I've never played a game on an actual NES, and it's never been re-released for obvious reasons, so yeah, I've never played Duck Hunt!
Metal Gear: Not for lack of trying here, but without a Sony console, my only options are Twin Snakes and Snake Eater 3D. I'm hoping that the Phantom Pain's release on Steam is a portent, though, and we'll get the originals on PC as well. I'd be first in line!

Is that Ninten or Ness?
Ness. Ninten has a scarf around his neck lol.
Those aren't all that obscure. The former was one of the only titles on the VB, which already made it worth playing. All those 'Early Years' games on that list surprised me though. I thought there was only one.
I have Teaches Typing, but I haven't gone to the trouble of getting it to run on a modern system.
What do you mean 'will be DLC'? Like, ever?

Ugh. Just drop a badass DogDuck trailer (feat BowsJr too) so I don't have to see him first from a shoddy stream!
I just beat it last night. 40ish hours of skipping all sidequests, basically. Great stuff, but I know i missed a huge chunk of it, but no time! No time before smash to appreciate it all. Glad you're loving it and that my quick little summary of the game convinced you to get it.
The MMO style sidequests and huge open fields make it feel like you really ARE on an adventure.
I plan on going through in new game plus and doing most, if not all, of the sidequests.

If the treehouse guys are open to spoiling the game and unlocking stuff in the stream, I hope we get some interesting trivia about the characters or their development.
Be nice to use some of that time to discuss the development of the game, and without he limits of remaining spoiler free, it could be incredibly cool to watch.
This is assuming they don't just play the no unlock able demo that Japan got for 8 hours and ignore the fact we already will know everything by then because of early copies and the game being out.

Well I'll be an unspecial snowflake and post mine:
Mario: I've played nearly every single one (I know I haven't played NSMB2 and there might be others). My favorites are NSMBU, SM64, Galaxy, and SMW.
Yoshi: The only good Yoshi games are Tetris Attack and SMW.
Wario: I've played a few. SML3 is pretty fun. Warioware is mostly awful, though.
Donkey Kong: I adore DKC 1 and 2. DKC3 was pretty dumb, though. The Retro versions are pretty great, though I don't think they quite live up to the originals.
Game and Watch: I've never actually played one, though I played a lot of the similar Tiger games. I've never been a huge fan of LCD games.
Zelda: It's one of my favorite series. OoT, Link to the Past, and the NES games are probably my favorites. There's hardly a stinker in the bunch... if you ignore the DS and CD-i games, which you probably should.
Metroid: Super Metroid is the best game ever. Period. The Prime games, Fusion, the original, Metroid 2, and Zero Mission are all great in their own regard. Hunters is pretty underrated too.
Kid Icarus: The NES and GB games are pretty bad, but Uprising is excellent and maybe the best game on the 3DS.
Fire Emblem: I'm really not a fan of SRPGs. They're just way too slow for me.
Kirby: I've never played a Kirby game other than Canvas Curse, which is really super fun.
Little Mac: I loved the NES and SNES versions. The Wii version is great too, but I'm pretty awful at it.
Star Fox: Star Fox 64 is one of the most quotable games ever and is insanely fun to play. The SNES version was great too, but I haven't been able to get into later entries.
Pokemon: I always avoided the series due to the cartoon, but I got Y after getting hooked on the series via Twitch Plays Pokemon and now I think I'm a fan.
Duck Hunt: I loved the original, as it was one of the first 2 games I owned with the split cartridge that also included SMB1. I always played way too close to the TV, though, because my aim was awful.
ROB: I never played Gyromite or knew it existed until much later.
Mother: Earthbound is pretty darn boring and frustrating. I don't really get the love for it.
F-Zero: I am so, so bad at the games that I can't really enjoy them, but GX is really pretty.
Animal Crossing: I played a ton of the GCN version and a bit of the DS version, but I think I got burned out on it.
Pikmin: Pikmin 2 is easily the best of the series. I just can't bring myself to finish the third for some reason.
Wii Fit: I have the original and Wii U versions. I really need to use it more.
Dr. Mario: I played some of the original but didn't enjoy it as much as other puzzle games.
Xenoblade: As I've said many places, I really don't get the love for it. I borrowed it and put in at least 10 hours if not more, but the voice acting, story, and dialogue were all terrible with monotonous gameplay and rather bland visuals. The music was nice I guess.
Pac-Man: I am terrible at it, but it's pretty darn addictive. It holds a special place in my heart for being among the first video games I ever played.
Mega Man: It's one of my favorite series ever. MM2, MM3, and MMX are definite highlights for me.
Sonic: I was obsessed with Sonic as a kid though I only owned the first 2. I rented S&K and Sonic 3 all the time, though rarely together. I'm not a big fan of the 3D iterations, though.
Metal Gear Solid: I really enjoyed the first one but MGS2 had such a ridiculous story that I lost all interest in the series.
Ice Climbers: I played it much later and found it to be pretty fun even if it's very awkward to control.
Mario: I've played nearly every single one (I know I haven't played NSMB2 and there might be others). My favorites are NSMBU, SM64, Galaxy, and SMW.

I don't even know what the Barbara argument was; I only caught bits and pieces of it as I flipped through the quickly-passing pages.
I simply think it's unlikely that the stuff sent to the ESRB wouldn't contain all the characters. After all, I suspect it's from the characters that most of the ratings concerns will arise, so I bet the ESRB would want to see all of them.
The intro will be a compilation of gameplay clips. Please understand.

Ouch, I think I already preordered Hyrule Warriors. That's the first I've heard of THAT from Nintendo (or a Nintendo-related studio). I don't like DLC, but on-disc DLC especially is kind of insulting.

It's the costume DLC for Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. Link/Zelda are preorder DLC, and Ganondorf costumes are Club Nintendo rewards. I think at least Link/Zelda can be bought off the eShop, but it's on-disc for sure.
No....please no...It's too damn cringeworthy.

1. Zelda II is a pretty tough game, and I hit a wall right before the final palace
2. I lost interest in TP. When I tried to go back, I found myself having no idea of where to go next.
3. I could barely force myself to get through Phantom Hourglass, and while Spirit Tracks was fine, it became very dull. Whomever decided to strip a Zelda game of its exploration should be fired.
4. Never owned Skyward Sword until now, due in part to my then lack of interest in the series. Barely started it, not loving the controls.
A Link Between Worlds saved the series for me.

But then why would they show all the other seemingly-innocuous stuff like Dr. Mario, Mr. Game & Watch, the Yoshi's Island stage, the Tomodachi Life stage, etc? Why show (or at least have unlocked) 686 trophies - surely not all of them have questionable content? It appears to me that they went ahead and showed the ESRB all the content, not just the questionable stuff.

Bowser Jr has always been adorable. It's nice to see more people appreciate him now versus the 10 years where he was ignored or outright hated.

How do we know 686 is ALL the trophies? Aren't we all just making that assumption?
Yep, nailed it.
It's a neat idea, but in practice really uncomfortable and inconvenient. It's not unbearable though. I played through the Wario game on it without much problem.
I just hated having to go sit at a table anytime I wanted to play.
