I just added Takamaru I'd like him to be in. The rating of his game for the West is promising.

Does anyone else think there'll be VC bombs next week for Wii U? So far, only the 30 yen game is listed for Japan next week.

Brawl wasn't even revealed during Nintendo's conference that year, right?

I remember it being the day after and everyone being bewildered by Solid Snake's inclusion.

 

[Exterminieren]

I'll miss the screams for the next Smash reveal

I didn't miss them when they revealed Brawl, in fairness.

 

[axisofweevils]

So where are we with newbies in Smash?

*Bayonetta
*Shulk
*Little Mac
*Waluigi
*Palutena/Magnus/Hades/Virdi
*TW101 guy(s)
*Megaman
*Pacman
*Chrom/Lucina/Random FEA character
*Takamaru/Devil

Anyone else to throw on the pile?

Mallo from Pushmo / Crashmo... Possibly Dillon too?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will record it again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzQJpP8M7XA

I already have Earthbound.

Also

Pikmin 3 has been rated.

It's happening.

Bayonetta will only be in if Nintendo bought the whole IP. Which is still possible - I mean, they always mention copyrights and shit for everything, but there's nothing for Bayonetta 2. Not in the Directs and not on the official site. And I mean absolutely nothing, no mention whatsoever. We'll see...

Mallo
Mewtwo
Dillon

Dillon's moveset is practically already made and he screams badass, Mewtwo is Mewtwo, and Mallo's moveset would likely be fun to make if you base it off of pushmo/crashmo.

EDIT: Oh, and Ridley because of the clouds.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Simon Belmont

Ridley is only missing character that I can think of.

 

[MCN]

Try Super Smash Bros. Melee's trailer:

http://youtu.be/thn-KLhZbeo?t=4m1s

I wish I was into video games forums back then. The reactions would have been epic.

Also, not a junior any more! Woo!

 

[Wishmaster92]

Loved this fight, i really hope we do see a new metroid tuesday either 2d or first person idc.

Congs.

 

[BigBadGiantHand]

All I need to see is 3D Mario, X and what Retro is workng on and i will be pretty happy....and maybe a confirmation of COD Ghosts for Wii U would be gravy. Since Nintendo doesn't have a good first party MP shooter, and EA won't be bring over BF4, its really the only option for us Wii U owners.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Tell me that's not Bill.

Yes it is. Bill trinen has evolved every E3. Seriously watch from that E3 and on and each one his appearance changes. He looks like total nerd there now he looks like mayun lol

 

[skull kid]

I already have Earthbound.

so? since it was never released in europe, it would be a welcome announcement for many.

 

[MCN]

Yes it is. Bill trinen has evolved every E3. Seriously watch from that E3 and on and each one his appearance changes. He looks like total nerd there now he looks like mayun lol

He's grown up right before our eyes.

 

[wsippel]

Me too. And I want to see Metroid V. Starring Zero Suit Samus for most of the game, trying to recover her equipment/ get new equipment on a derelict Chozo planet over the course of the game after the events of Metroid IV. That could actually work. Just go with her portrayal in Zero Mission/ the ending of Other M: She's weak, but she's fast and agile as hell, extremely acrobatic, and uses stealth to her advantage. Canon say she's a genetically enhanced monstrosity after all, way beyond the Solid Snakes or Sam Fishers of the gaming world - make a game centered around this idea it for fuck's sake!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Yes it is. Bill trinen has evolved every E3. Seriously watch from that E3 and on and each one his appearance changes. He looks like total nerd there now he looks like mayun lol

Maybe he's a Pokemon.

 

[NeonZ]

They had some kind of prototype engine for Smash running last year, when the partnership with Namco was revealed. It'd be weird if they don't have something good enough for a trailer at this point.

http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/archive/06-21-2012/message

Currently, the prototype prepared by Namco Bandai Games and Namco Bandai Studios' special team looks pretty good, and it's working great. In order to take advantage of the fact that there will be versions for two different systems, and to maximize and offer fun new gameplay elements, the entire team is going to work hard together.

Also, this IGN article seems to confirm that they won't be changing the game radically:

[Hiltz]

Brawl wasn't even revealed during Nintendo's conference that year, right?

I remember it being the day after and everyone being bewildered by Solid Snake's inclusion.

Brawl was initially announced as the next Smash Brothers game during Nintendo's pre- E3 conference in May 2005. Development on the project didn't start until October. The first trailer was shown the day after the pre- E3 Nintendo conference in May 2006. It was revealed during the E3 After-Hours press conference. The game took 2 years and 5 months to be released overseas. Roughly 100 people working on the project full-time according to Sakurai.

 

[Kard8p3]

Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will record it again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzQJpP8M7XA

I can only imagine what the reaction would've been like if they actually showed it during their press conference that year. Was this the game that set the standard for nintendo having surprises at their roundtable events?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

can it just be next week already?

 

[DaBoss]

can it just be next week already?

That would mean we missed the Direct. D:

 

[Toad.T]

Might as well ask in preparation, do gametrailer`s videos play on the Wii U? If they play, then i'm sure the livestream will too, right?

If not, what livestreams are WiiU friendly?

 

[MCN]

That would mean we missed the Direct. D:

But GAF might be back up again at this point.

Gametrailers videos barely work on the things they're supposed to!

 

[Chrisness]

I'm sad they only started developing Smash Bros U in 2012. Smash U probably won't be released until 2014

the game could easily be based on the tekken engine. the two games are actually pretty similar. zoom it out, add some platforms, convert the health bar into a %. the fact that they're using a lot of the tekken team should make this one a no-brainer.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Next week starts on the Sunday/Monday (;

Yeah but I don't think anyone expected it this year honestly.

you can always freeze yourself

 

[Neiteio]

you can always freeze yourself

What if we forget to thaw him out in time? What if he is thawed out 1,000 years in the future, where otters have evolved into humanoid creatures, and console fanboyism no longer exists, but instead we argue over what to call our shared multiplat philosophy.

 

[MCN]

you can always freeze yourself

Just beware of the otters.

EDIT: Beaten like Lil' Mac whenever I attempt to play Punch-Out!

 

[skull kid]

Yeah but I don't think anyone expected it this year honestly.

don't think so..technically melee was completed in 13 months but that was nothing short of a miracle, considering how it turned out.

 

[Oersted]

Maybe he's a Pokemon.

You really like this pic, don´t you ;P ?

 

[Hiltz]

I'm sad they only started developing Smash Bros U in 2012. Smash U probably won't be released until 2014

My guess is that the game will be out for holiday 2014. Worst case it is gets delayed to March 2015.

[effzee]

My predictions:

All the games confirmed (Mario, Mario Kart, Smash, WWHD, X, Bayonetta 2, Sonic games, plus some 3rd party games like COD/Batman).

No real surprises. Retro reveals their title and that in itself can be a surprise but I think we finally see their game.

That's it. Nothing major outside of this but that by itself is a shit ton.

I can't wait to see Takamaru's design, assuming that he's in the game. I'm not really fond of his latest appearance.
