Probably all of the above. Maybe 3-6 characters, a few stages, & music for said stages.

Deciding to reuse Melee stages for a third time to represent an entire series without any new stage to replace it was an awful idea.
I hope the Donkey Kong stage on Wii U will be pretty damn good.
Kid Icarus already has so much representation in these Smash games, exaggeratedly so if you consider it only has three games over more than two decades, yet...
...After catching up with my Uprising playthrough (on Chapter
as we speak), it'd be a damn shame if we had Palutena's Temple as the only new KI stage, considering all the crazy locales you visit through the game.
In a perfect world we'd be in a Melee situation where most series get -at least- two new stages.

"To get these stages out as soon as possible, we didn't have time to implement the Final Destination feature. Please understand..."
Trick question, none of the above.
What's wrong with the SSB64 stages? Metal Cavern, Hyrule Castle, Saffron City and Mushroom Kingdom are among the series' best.

There's "next page" and "previous page" buttons for the character select screen as well as the stage select screen, that's good enough for me to assume that they were at least planning on character DLC at some point in development. They might have dropped the idea, but they might have dropped stage DLC as an idea too, no way to know.
I think both are safe bets, considering how big this game is for Nintendo.

Oh but we do. One new stage in each version of the game.
You misread his post.
It's plausible to expect DLC, but it's also a possibility that those icons were left over from a point in time before the shrinking character icons were implemented.

That's my thought. Shame they didn't go for it though, the CSS and SSS are rather ugly.
It just occurred to me that we have less than 5 days until Launch.
E3 2013 feels like it wasn't that long ago.

This is what you would think, but this is also Nintendo we're talking about here.
I'm not.
Stages in the 3DS version I like: Battlefield, Final Destination, Yoshi's Island, Arena Ferox, Corneria. Also kinda N's Castle, but almost solely for aesthetic purposes.
Stages in 64 I like: Just about all of them, except Mushroom Kingdom and Planet Zebes.
Absolutely nothing, but I mean, there's 9 of them (plus Metal Cavern) versus roughly 30.

wait so do you give up the GAF King thing once BGBW is out of the bet?
Disregarding Omega versions, he's kinda right. Not a fan of many stages, honestly.
Batty, pls.
Remains to be seen for DK, Metroid, Yoshi, Wario, Star Fox, Pikmin...

If Nintendo is doing DLC for Mario Kart, Hyrule Warriors, Pikmin, Fire Emblem, New Super Mario Bros(2 and Wii U), and Mario Golf, I think Smash Bros DLC (which is a thing there is pretty big demand for and would sell very well both short and long-term) is something we can expect to see.
Again it's not like a 100% thing but Nintendo's pushed real hard into DLC lately and it's worked out well for them.

Smash 64 had an awesome stage selection, though. 64 stages > Brawl stages, I think.
I won't judge Smash 3DS until I get the full version in my hands. While it definitely doesn't have enough tournament-legal stages (which could have just been fixed if they had done something more PM-esque with the "FD" stages, like they SHOULD HAVE grumblegrumble), a lot of the stages look like they could be really fun, if not entirely neutral. Stretch things a little and stages like Tomodachi or Prism Tower could even be decent counterpicks.
I hope there's palette swap DLC.
Rosalina and Samus need Ocean Blue colors.
Shut it, I'm going to be leader forever, y'hear?

Yes.
He'll revert to GAF Prince Consort.
It really did. And while I like 64's original stages much more than most of Brawl's, the original good ones that Brawl had plus the high number of Melee ones it brought back makes me like it's stage selection more than 64s.
If I had to rank the stage selection, it'd be Melee>Brawl>64>3DS.
But yeah, 64's stage selection was just godly. It's my least favorite Smash, but the stage selection was so good that I kept coming back to it.

I dunno about that. Sakurai expressed interest in doing DLC/balance patches for Brawl, but couldn't because of the Wii architecture. Smash 4 DLC is a no-brainer - and even if Sakurai doesn't want it, I would bet money on Nintendo stepping in and making it happen anyway. It's a monetary gold mine.

Nope and it never will as long as Duck Hunt Dog is in /salty
Of course - Dark Pit singlehandedly elevates it to that status.

I'm not saying it guarantees DLC characters or anything. I just think it's worthwhile to keep an open mind.

Smash 64 had the best ratio of good stages to bad stages, but that's really not fair considering how few there are.
Sakurai definitely seems to focus more and more on over-powering hazards every Smash title. The Yellow Devil and Flying Man are absolutely ridiculous, for instance.

bowser is so happy to finally be able to correct his poor vision after all these years
...who?
Yeah, the stages have been increasingly less subtle with stage hazards, which I don't like. I think the same can be said with the items. They've become less and less about subtly mixing things up for variety, and more lethal things that completely change the flow of the game. I don't like it.
Don't your glasses need lenses for that? Wearing contacts with empty frames is indefensible.
