Support NeoGAF

[Xane]

You have no evidence of this.

You're not quite tech savvy, are you.

Having options for finer item control is purely a meta-data / code question that would have a negligible amount of memory and zero computation footprint if implemented correctly. They already have the framework for everything needed to support this.
In fact, I'm positive you would be able to fine-tune the item spawn-rates if direct access to the game's memory was possible (through, say, cheating devices and other memory manipulation devices).

People jump too quickly on the "it's a 3DS limitation" bandwagon on every cut they can imagine.

 

[Black Republican]

enjoyed the 3ds demo and was hyped for months buying the 3ds version but i cant anymore need the WiiU version only now. Wonder what the exclusive features are

 

[EhoaVash]

Aren't pokemons in 3ds version run at 30 fps just like assists

Unlike the Wii u version which runs it at 60 fps

With online and everything. It makes sense that it was a 3ds limitation

 

[TheVampire]

Is there still no release date for this?

 

[Hatchtag]

I wonder if the Amiibo menu is the blue icon above the 3DS icon on the Wii U menu or if it's a sub-menu.



I assume the 3DS version will also get an update soon for Amiibo? It might have it already but I haven't checked.

Its almost certainly the purple one to the upper left of the 3DS. Same color as the bottom of the POTD.

 

[chaosblade]

You have no evidence of this.

They could have easily added a third option between "on and off." Have "Off" "Low" and "High" where high is the current rate that items spawn and low cuts that in half. There is no reason having less items appear should be a problem for the 3DS.

 

[The Captain]

Someone brought up them changing the item frequency at the E3 invitational - did that happen? I can't quite remember.

It seems odd that it would be an intentional decision to have that option in one version, but not another.

It was in the Wii U version, they changed the item settings between rounds. It doesn't make much sense that they would cut that after demonstrating the feature on stage.

They turned down the frequency the further into the tournament they went (and turned them off entirely in the final).

Oh I didn't catch that. I thought the purple was the Challenges like in the 3DS.

 

[Forkball]

For a game that comes out supposedly next month, we barely know anything about some of the big features. Is Nintendo just waiting until November before they have an info blowout?

Well at least something was confirmed as a release date. Sorry Europe...


Interesting that we only get six amiibo in the second wave - this breaks up the 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 idea that we had.

 

[BGBW]

More designs!

The game releases December 5th according to the trailer

 

[Jawmuncher]

Looks like we should know the NA date soon enough then.
I even woke up thinking the dates had been put out while I slept.

 

[BGBW]

New bundle

 

[The Captain]

Yes, I know.

Well at least something was confirmed as a release date.

 

[Golnei]

At least it's not 2015. So how likely is it that Japan shares Europe's release date?

 

[kuroneko0509]

NA confirmed for 21st November release

Wait, we're getting this before Japan!

I've never felt more patriotic in my life.

GOD BLESS (North) AMERICA!

 

[TheSlySoul]

US - Nov. 21
UK - Dec. 5
Japan - Dec. 6

Guess they released US early for Black Friday. Still though now we can gloat like Japan did with the 3DS version!

Black Friday.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Well, gloat as in streaming it out to the world. Not gloating like making people feel bad.

Japan didn't gloat...

Please keep the hidden stages a secret.

Nobody tell Europe or Japan about the stages!

 

[tonyh24613]

Smash New 3DSLL comes out on Nov 8.

Also

Woooooooo! Feels good.

 

[BGBW]

That NEW 3DS cover looks so much better than the limited edition design.

The first and last themes are a bit messy. Not that I'd get them. I can just imagine they'll play the Smash menu theme and I have enough of that in game let alone out of game.

 

[Pompadour]

So are we still expecting a Smash Wii U Direct before release?

 

[BGBW]

I could see a Direct coming to go over all this information they are releasing. Obviously this marks the time they are now happy to start talking a bit more about the Wii U version.

 

[Veeboy]

So are we still expecting a Smash Wii U Direct before release?

I'm still expecting some sort of general direct by the end of the month which will include a few more details about the Wii U version.

 

[Drago]

This is a pretty sweet theme.

 

[Masked Man]

Omg I HATE EVERYONE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW.

 

[The Bankslammer]

oh sweet i don't have to import a wii u to get it first
not that i would've if was released in japan first

 

[tonyh24613]

2 weeks, I doubt ORAS will help. ;_;

 

[Kjellson]

We have to wait two weeks after America gets it?

That's gonna be two long weeks.

 

[Drago]

At least you guys in Japan are getting this beauty:

I'm gonna need to find some way to get my hands on one D:

 

[XaosWolf]

I need this. When the hell are they gonna announce new3DS for the west?

 

[BGBW]

From an American perspective they already have.
