Rumor (with a side of salt): Shovel Knight coming to Smash Wii U/3DS?

We're all assuming there will be something the coming few days. But there's nothing that really confirms their will be something right? There has been smash maintenances before without the game being patched/dlc no?

Someone already answered that few posts above but I'm going to make it easier for you.

What's with the patch assumption? Smash Bros. server maintenance is routine. The servers were recently down on July 2, July 13, and August 5 without any corresponding patches.


I feel terrible for the people who really believe Snake is coming on Monday.

I mean, they're doing it to themselves, but I'm not heartless.

I don't think everyone were being serious here. EatChildren and Jawmuncher didn't bribe Konami enough.
 
You guys think we'll see any Smash news anytime soon? I'm afraid that we'll be stuck waiting until November for any reveals.

I doubt they'd announce major dlc in the middle of the busiest gaming sales month. Even if dlc is released in november it'll be announced between now and mid october for a november release.
 
Me too. Still hoping for the return of Frigate Orpheon and a few other stages.

That's literally the only stage I care about. #Sakuraiplease

*looks at the first Mario Kart 8 DLC pack*
He said announce tho.
MK8 DLC was revealed in August/September.

That stage was so awesome. I was legit surprised when I joined Smash communities and I saw that people didn't like it very much...
 
How would Shovel Knight play?

Would he end up like Mega Man with a bunch of weapons like he uses? Any good moveset drawings?

Poke Floats 2, now with more balloon-themed Pokemon!

Yeah...I mean a Wailord balloon, and maybe actual Driftblim flying around would be neat.
 
I kinda want a stage parity dlc .... 3DS has the best Star Fox, Pacman and F-Zero levels by FAR and I want to play it with my roomates ! =/
 
Pirate Ship was great, but it would be the first stage DLC to be exclusive to the Wii U version, because there's no swimming mechanics on 3DS...

Stage parity means the 3DS should receive the Wii U levels as DLC as well, which is unlikely to happen because of stages like The Great Cave Offensive and Palutena's Temple.

Completely agree. It's dumb the 3DS stages aren't on Wii U (and vice versa except where they are technically not doable). They need to start releasing them as DLC.
 
Nintendo's been promoting Smash character DLC hardcore on Twitter and Facebook. Not even the recent stage stuff but rather "New characters available" in the form of Ryu and friends. New new characters approaching?

Kind of weird timing considering the monday maintenance. Seems more then just a coincidence.

I checked their twitter but saw nothing about Smash DLC, but admittedly I am really ignorant when it comes to twitter. Anyways, hype?
 
I dont see anything smash related being promoted on my side, closest thing would be asking people to review the 3DS version for a chance for it to get featured and amiibo restocking. :(

Edit: I second Relias post.
 
Screenshot please? I am not doubting you, I just want to see the posts as well.

It says Newcomer approaching, or something like that. Shows Ryu Roy and Lucas, as well as some Mii costumes. Tells you to expand your game by buying dlc. I've been seeing it for a few days.

Honestly I would be happy if we just got Corneria on Wii U. I hate it so much that it's trapped in the 3DS version of Smash 4.
 
Oh yeah I love Frigate Orpheon too.

I kinda wish one of the ledges and the moving platform are grabbable though. Then again if it does return I hope they "fix" it like how they fixed Peach's Castle.

Maybe just a "best of" pack then ?

Stage excluvity still exists but everyone has the best levels

That would be fine by me.

The Wii U stages I would want on the 3DS are Duck Hunt, Gamer, Kalos Pokémon League, Smashville, Town & City and maybe Windy Hill. The 3DS stages I would want on the Wii U are Spirit Train, Magicant, Arena Ferox, Paper Mario, Unova Pokémon League and Pac-Maze. And of course, more retro and new stages for both versions :)
 
They started the news ticker in game a few days ago as well to advertise the ballot and DLC. It had been inactive since release, they just started using it again.

They're pushing DLC really hard in more than just Twitter posts. People on Reddit are also saying the frequency they get Wii U ads for the DLC (on the Game Pad, not in-game) has increased as well.

I also had a weird "shower thought" this morning. What if MGSV and Ground Zeroes, as a pack, are a launch (or launch window) title for the NX? That would make Snake a bit more likely and it would make him being released monday a little bit more reasonable (but still unlikely).

Yeah, I can vouch for those adds too, and I've barely been playing Wii U since I just bought a GameCube.

Nintendo's really shoveling on the ads.

Well it's not like Nintendo has tried to advertise on social media much before now. They probably realized it was cheaper to do so than TV.
