I like the idea of alternate costumes as the other Pikmin games characters. (don't forget the kacho and Louie from Pikmin 2!).
Further than that, purple/albino pikmins alternating with rock/flying pikmins is cool (I don't think flying pikmins will get a special ability).

Just changing colors is boring but as a 4 players games, you need 4 costumes for each characters at least... I like the Wario ones and Shadow Link for example.

Anyway, it's great, and great visual improvement. I think like the Skyward Sword stage, they just pastes the Pikmin 3 assets. Would like to see more of this Pikmin stage next week!

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

I like how the Pikmin no longer look like they took no effort at all.

I feel the character models were taken straight out of Pikmin 3 as well as the stage, seems they've been doing that with alot of the assets for this game, probably to save time. So far most of what we've seen looks like assets taken straight from their respective games.

 

[Poltergust]

As much as people would like alternate costumes for Olimar that comprise of the Pikmin 3 cast, it simply isn't feasible due to how those characters have different body structures. Alternate costumes cannot change the hitboxes/hurtboxes of the default character.

I guess Alph is possible, but the other two are simply too different to be alternate costumes. Maybe as alternate colors...?

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Ha ha what the fuck. Did not expect to see that right before bed!



Eh, I dunno - I figure they'll still keep Unlockables under wraps and Luigi will still be unlockable.

Its the Year of Luigi, he's gonna get a reveal sooner or later.

 

[Spinluck]

I doubt we see any alt Olimar costumes.

 

[ffdgh]

Hey, did anyone notice that olimar has a whistle mounted to his helment now?

 

[Kokonoe]

Pikachu is so weird now, he's really stretchy.

 

[Mad Bowser]

YESSSSSS CAPTAIN OLIMAR!!!!

 

[Kurtofan]

So Pikmin & Olimar get unveiled upon the release of Pikmin 3. Then, Wonder-eyes Red when The Wonderful 101 comes out?!?

Dixie and Diddy Kong when Tropical Freeze comes out.

Luigi and Peach when 3D World comes out.

Sonic when Lost World comes out.

Mewtwo when X/Y come out.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Thats what happens when your working with WiiFit Trainer

Luigi and Peach when 3D World comes out.

Sonic when Lost World comes out.

Mewtwo when X/Y come out.

Young Link when Majoras Mask Remake comes out -crosses fingers-

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Dixie and Diddy Kong when Tropical Freeze comes out.

Luigi and Peach when 3D World comes out.

Sonic when Lost World comes out.

Mewtwo when X/Y come out.

Could be Luigi when Dream Team releases in a few days.

 

[Mad Bowser]

 

[Kurtofan]

I think we can expect new reveals around release dates of Ninty games (and perhaps Sonic Lost World), Wonderful 101 come onnnn.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Seriously though this Pikmin 3 stage might become one of my all time favorites simply for how beautiful it looks.

 

[BGBW]

Nintendo is always innovating. They've come up with the handsfree whistle!

 

[Spinluck]

My god, this artsyle.

Easily the best in the series.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

The 3DS can't even handle pictures of Olimar.

[BGBW]

Now question is does this news deserve a new thread?

 

[Poltergust]

Pikachu is so weird now, he's really stretchy.

You should have seen Brawl Yoshi. His tail stretches to 10x its original length, his head contorts in different ways, and his boot enlarges by like twice its size.

 

[Village]

My god, this artsyle.

Easily the best in the series.

While I love brawl, I have to agree.

I wish they would have went nintendo land with some of the lighting though, there is hope, maybe there are levels with lighting ike that.

 

[Boss Doggie]

lol someone is still bitter over the melee thing in that other thread

 

[ffdgh]

Now question is does this news deserve a new thread?

It already has one

 

[BGBW]

It already has one

Just saw it. Was searching for a thread with Olimar in the title. :/

Holy shit, has to be Ridley.

I digged Brawl's style. But it's hard to not swoon at the saturation, and the way it is highlighting the characters primary colors while complimenting the more subtle details of the characters. I also love the more cartoony look and feel, with a slight hint of the photorealism from Brawl (just look at Olimar's stage). Simply put, it feels like the best of Melee and Brawl's style together, but better.

 

[Sylverstone14]

My sides are hurting from how much I laughed at this.

Me three, really impressed with the overall artstyle. But I know what you mean with the lighting. Still beats the other games though!

Yeah, hopefully this game is like that in more ways than just art style.

 

[NotLiquid]

You know, we keep saying this, but how would he work? His attacks are too big

Besides, most of the variety comes from the other heroes. I can see a Final Smash easily, but I can't see anything else.

Make them the next Pokémon Trainer.

Every new Smash needs a character that breaks the mold and boundaries, they'd be perfect!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

To me it look like the game got more smoother looking or something..?

 

[qq more]

Yep. AA and some other neat effects!

[ArcaneFreeze]

Longchu is still disturbing after all these years.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Some stuffs look a bit cg now, links face and marios model look kinda like the trailer cg. And wow bowsers shell has some great detail there too I havent noticed before.

 

[Professor Beef]

Note to self: ignore all further Nibel threads.

Disturbing or not, I can't help but laugh at this:

That brings back the moves question!

 

[IntelliHeath]

I like that.

I like how the Pikmin no longer look like they took no effort at all.

Yeah, they look so pretty.

The Pikmin stage looks so good. It makes me really excited for the inevitable Galaxy stage.

That stage look good so far but i'm curious what layout look like.

I wish the official site looked more exciting, it looks so bland.

Well, I like it.

This raises the question. When is Game & Wario's release date?

It's out for awhile.

I think we can expect new reveals around release dates of Ninty games (and perhaps Sonic Lost World), Wonderful 101 come onnnn.

Don't, Just Don't.

Seriously though this Pikmin 3 stage might become one of my all time favorites simply for how beautiful it looks.

Yeah, but I hope that it wouldn't be similar to the stage in Brawl.

Now question is does this news deserve a new thread?

It already got it's own thread.

 

[Kokonoe]

Disturbing or not, I can't help but laugh at this:

EVERYBODY DO THE MICHIGAN RAG!

 

[Codeblue]

I guess we might start finding out who's out by virtue of their games releasing without Smash joining in on the marketing effort.

Or not.

I believed that someone did, but I'm scared to get my hype high.

 

[SuperSah]

Am I the only one totally let-down by the lack of 3DS shots? We haven't seen Wii Fit Trainer, Olimar or AC Villager at all.

It sure does feel like an after-thought if i'm honest, even though the 3DS development started first it feels as though as if it's been pushed away just to showcase the Wii U version.

I'd totally appreciate some more attention to the 3DS one.

i'm surprised they're giving out 3DS screenshots at all. you'd think they'd want the high-quality screens going around the internet.

 

[mclem]

Eh, I dunno - I figure they'll still keep Unlockables under wraps and Luigi will still be unlockable.

Mmmm, given it's the Year Of Luigi, I could see him promoted to main cast.

 

[Jethro]

Pikachu?

Well, there is article somewhere that mentioned that both version might not release at same time, so we already speculating that we are getting Wii U first. For two reasons, they want to boost Wii U sales and they need more time to convert models from Wii U to 3DS. Also they might need to tweaks some characters' movesets to make sure that they work on 3DS, namely multi-characters such as Ice Climbers.

3DS development started first? I don't remembe rreading abot that. Either way, some of Sakurai's comments make it seem like the 3DS version might end up delayed, and he has also mentioned technical problems implementing some characters there. I wouldn't be surprised if it's behind in development, and that's why we haven't seen shots showcasing things beyond the content in the initial reveal.

 

[Mpl90]

Mmmm, given it's the Year Of Luigi, I could see him promoted to main cast.

And this time, please, he must suck.










With his Poltergust 3000, obviously.

 

[Immaculate]

The 3DS can't even handle pictures of Olimar.

Or you know, development is behind
