Today's screen shot is heavy on Delfino Plaza feels. We should be in for a new reveal at some point soon, right...?

 

[SmithnCo]

I like the Pilotwings stage, looks really dynamic with flying through the island, the tilting plane, and having another plane fly in. Seems quite fun.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

So what is going to be our main topic of they day?

Little Mac could be the new Pichu if they implement the heart system, and have him lose his offense after missing a couple hits, and only regaining his offense after successfully dodging some moves.

 

[SuperSah]

Doesn't need to be impressive to be well liked.

Looks weird though.

All baron, as usual.

 

[zroid]

All baron, as usual.

I don't know if that pun was intended or not, but either way I laughed

Waluigi doesn't have the most chances out of anyone for anything.

I know there's not much to his character, but I really like his visual design and how lanky he is. He was even a little creepy in Mario Tennis 64 when his eyes used to slowly glow as he scored.

 

[Green Mamba]

The Pilotwings stage looks like it is absolutely begging to be viewed in motion.

Layout wise as a stage it looks like nothing terribly special (but not everything needs to be, sometimes less is more, especially with Smash Bros.), but I think the background is going to be among the most impressive Smash Bros. backgrounds ever.

Provided it's seamless, seeing Wuhu Island far in the distance and then closing that distance to the point that you're flying in between buildings looks to be a nice visual feast.

 

[BGBW]

I'll be the first to say the Pilotwings stage isn't all that impressive.

I'll be the first to say I'm going to turn you into swiss cheese bacon.

He has a better chance than Ridley now.

Waluigi can kick Bowser's ass with ease, he deserves to be in.

 

[Drago]

Best time

 

[JazzmanZ]

As the day gets closer, I can't help but smile. Hah.

you realize if you're right a whole bunch of people are going to be ending up asking you questions?

 

[Hot Coldman]

try again

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I'm more or less worried that Smash will be rushed..

 

[Drago]

try again

I still need to get to playing Xenoblade.

I'm more or less worried that Smash will be rushed..

Melee was rushed and that turned out great!

 

[BGBW]

try again

You too

 

[Hot Coldman]

You too

stop

Everyone knows it's Wara Wara time

Iwata for Smash! It's Wara Wara time, mothas fuckas

 

[Troubled Bat]

you realize if you're right a whole bunch of people are going to be ending up asking you questions?

I doubt it, but even then I would deny such things.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Waluigi's Time Machine

(a sequel to Mario's Time Machine with more greed and crotch chops)

 

[MisterHero]

Sakurai will create baby clones of the existing characters before he includes Waluigi

Spoiler

and Reyn =(

.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Baby Paper Dr. Mario and CD-i Link comin' at ya!

 

[friskykillface]

would little mac be the same size as the assist trophy from brawl?

make him bigger to captain falcons height B^)

I remember people seriously asking for Baby Mario


can't wait to slice babies!!!

Me too.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Then why call him Little Mac.

 

[SmithnCo]

Apparently Mac is 5'7" is PO Wii? (Is there a pic of this?)

If so he's a bit short but should be bigger than the AT, which could be based off his NES height.

 

[J@hranimo]

I expect Little Mac to be a little taller than Luigi. The Mario Bros are kinda short, but I don't expect him to tiny like in Brawl unless they just rip his model from that game and work from that.

 

[MercilessMercer]

Me too.

Wasn't Melee "rushed"?

Besides, its Sakurai! I don't think a single game he has made has been 'bad' per se.

H-hey! I'm not short!

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Little Mac hit puberty right before the release of PO!! Wii. He was 4'8" in the NES game. Mac is just a late bloomer.

 

[SuperSah]

I don't know if that pun was intended or not, but either way I laughed

[Troubled Bat]

I expect Little Mac to be a bit taller than Mario, but that's it. He must a short, fierce competitor!

H-hey! I'm not short!

You're short. :x

 

[GamerSoul]

Me too.

I'm more worried it will be delayed and delayed and delayed....

 

[TrueBlue]

Assuming that the game releases sometimes around Fall 2014, that'd be around 2 and a half years of dev time, right? Plus, the dev team seems to be larger this time around. I'm not too concerned.

 

[Heyt]

I really hope they reveal something tomorrow.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Brawl took a looong time, and I don't really think that long development time was relative to its quality. It was just teeming with content, which is great, but as long as the main gameplay is good, all that extra stuff is just bells and whistles.

 

[Ryce]

Brawl took a looong time, and I don't really think that long development time was relative to its quality.

Brawl took just over two years, which is a pretty typical dev cycle.

 

[Caladrius]

I'm more worried it will be delayed and delayed and delayed....

2014 is going to be absolutely critical for Nintendo. They're not going to push one of their most important franchises back for anything bar an absolute catastrophe.

 

[qq more]

You're short. :x

I used to be the tallest sibling because I'm the oldest... But now I'm the shortest :/ (but only slightly shorter)

Weird, isn't it?

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

There will be another last minute Smash delay after Atari SA decides they do want Bubsy in Smash.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Brawl took just over two years, which is a pretty typical dev cycle.

Felt like an age at the time!

When exactly did Brawl started in development? (curious)

 

[Ryce]

When exactly did Brawl started in development? (curious)

October 2005.

 

[PorygonVandal]

When exactly did Brawl started in development? (curious)

The day Iwata said it was coming during E3.... literally...

 

[Troubled Bat]

So, does anyone feel a reveal coming close by as the time goes on?

I used to be the tallest sibling because I'm the oldest... But now I'm the shortest :/ (but only slightly shorter)

Weird, isn't it?

Its happens, my cousin randomly burst to 6'2" and he turned 17 in May. But at least you have siblings! D:

 

[Shadow Hog]

I used to be the tallest sibling because I'm the oldest... But now I'm the shortest :/ (but only slightly shorter)

STRANGE, ISN'T IT?

ftfy

 

[Ryce]

So, does anyone feel a reveal coming close by as the time goes on?

I feel a newcomer a-brewin', either this week or next.

 

[powerdrain]

Yep, Mii's need to populate the island. Skyloft has the same problem with the lack of wandering characters.

Absolutely. This is something I'm worried about. As much as I love having plain, but nostalgic, non-hazardous stages it would be nice to see something going on that'll make you remember and keep going back to it.

We really need some new information in this next month, preferably a newcomer or one or two returning characters. I'm mostly excited to see what some of the characters will look like with brighter, less grittier character designs for once, since the Mario characters especially have been made to look "textured" until now. It really is a breath of fresh air.

 

[Green Mamba]

I have a feeling we won't be seeing anything (or rather, anyone) new until the fall direct, whenever that is.
