One employee in charge of a tweeter account = the whole of Nintendo. HA HA HA.
Seriously, I know that EVO incident cause a lot of you to get your knickers in a twist but some of you need to take the tinfoil hats off pronto.
Damn this game is ugly, it looks like Brawl in HD.
The 3DS version looks more impressive than the Wii U version. :lol
Even if Pikachu is a mouse I have never thought of him as "furry, it would just look weird. Has anyone actually thought he would look better with realistic fur?

I apologize on his behalf. He doesn't know a damn thing.

Finally a stage which doesn´t look totally washed out..
Nintendo is clueless about their fanbase, the market, and lately even game development. I wouldn't be surprised if they are clueless about their own products too. And I think that's what that tweet is showing.
those things in the background looks like tetris blocks.
dun dundundun dundundun dundundun dundun dun dundun dun dun dun dun dun!
Fixed that for you.
I had a lot of fun playing as Olimar in Brawl. Good to see he's back (even if it was expected).
So do you think this clueless tweeter thought it was Alph from Pikmin 3, put "Alpha" instead because he/she is that goofy, and then after making that mistake of a mistake, realized his/her mistake and changed it? Because that tweet is back now, just corrected to "Olimar." I guess what I'm secretly hoping is that Alph was just accidentally revealed in some regard. But you're probably right.
I feel like part of the reason they revealed him so soon was because of all the speculation that the 3DS version would cause his dismissal.
Which kind of makes it unexpected!
I think it's because Pikmin 3 comes out tomorrow in Japan.
Get your logic and reasoning out of here.
i haven't been keeping track of JP release dates, that's probably the case

NoA is crap but man the FGC(tm) is terrible lol
Or maybe just Melee fanboys lol
How would that work with Olimar, though? He has a whole lineup that he can use so as to save the Pikmin and use them for Smashes and whatnot.
I'm really curious as to why they didn't show Olimar using Rock or Wing Pikmin. It makes me think that either:
1) They're saving the reveal of those Pikmin for a later date.
2) There will be a second Pikmin rep based on Pikmin 3 that uses Reds, Blues, Yellows, Rocks, and Wings.
The fact that the Pikmin stage shown was clearly from Pikmin 3 makes me think the second option is likely. I would have preferred they just incorporate Rocks and Wings into Olimar though.
A second Pikmin character doesn't make any sense though. It would be the cloniest of all clones.
My guess is that they just haven't incorporated the new ones in yet.
These guys are insane holy crap.
You ain't seen nothing yet! Jesusssss
That's largely because of how downscaled the images are; that adds some natural anti-aliasing to everything. I'd imagine a raw 1080p grab wouldn't be quite as flattering, even though it'll still look quite good.Also, concerning Olimar, this screen looks like it could come from a Subspace Emmisary cutscene. The graphics look that good.

There's no reason to shoehorn new things into his move set just because they're new, though. Purple and White Pikmin both work well in the context of a Smash Bros. fight, and it would be dumb to replace them just for the sake of it. Much like Skyward Sword, Pikmin 3's representation is in the form of a stage.
People saying this looks ugly now? I'm disappointed![]()
