Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 2: Where Pilotwings is apparently Minecraft

So my 3DS XL hinge broke today. Like completely separated from the system. Not sure if I pay the $100 for repair or buy a new system. My main concern is that I have literally hundreds of dollars in eShop purchases and obviously don't want to lose them. That makes me afraid of sending it off to Nintendo.

I was thinking the same thing. Weird that Pokémon didn't get an announcement.I don't think the pattern is coincidence.

Just like Nintendo Land, Super Smash Bros. has the benefit of having characters from various series and puts them into the spotlight. This could potentially stir interest in their respective game series. It's actually Super Smash Bros. Melee that interested me in The Legend of Zelda. It's an incredible smart move of Nintendo to promote games that star (new) Super Smash Bros. characters on their release dates.

It's still weird why nothing happened on the release date of Pokémon X and Y. I never understood how much control Nintendo has over the Pokémon property anyway. There are no references to Pokémon in games like WarioWare, Nintendo Land and Animal Crossing. Not even Pokémon outfits in Mii Plaza. Why? Pokémon is a huge property. It's weird that Mario gets at least a reference in a plethora of non-Mario games, while Pokémon only gets a spot in Super Smash Bros. and HarmoKnight, which is developed by the same developer as Pokémon.

I really don't know. Would love to hear an explanation of this.

I would like to know the answer to it. I know the answer but I would like to get clarification on this situation again.

I guess Sakurai is trying to make a space between characters, and Sakurai can't help it with Sonic because of Nintendo Direct.

It's possible that they haven't developed the models for remaining characters or the communication between Namco-Bandai/Sora LTD and Pokemon Company went sour. :P

Other thing to add, maybe we are getting playable character/pokemon from X/Y?
 
Maybe they're doing the character to game release date tie in thing to games that could use the extra sales/publicity. Pokemon was gonna sell like crazy either way.
 
Playing X and Y will show that Lucario is definitely holding a spot.



Wat

It's right up there with machoke, Hypno, etc.



Stuff like Mr. Mime, Machoke, etc. are humanoid. Hence a humanoid Pokemon isn't out of place, nor is out of place in the whole "mons" genre since they exist in all mons series in Japan, from SMT to Digimon.


It's not that it's humanoid. It's that (along with most new pokemon) the designs don't have texture, biological correspondence. Non biological elements are okay too, I suppose, like the robotic pokemon, but that's still a theme. New pokemon designs are just shapes and colors texturelessly placed about.
 
So, um...are we all just going to complain that Mewtwo wasn't revealed
yet
or are we going to ask why there are sprite versions of Mario and Luigi instead of their 3D models...? Is it an assist trophy or something of the sort?

EDIT: My eyes are more broken than I thought...

It's the 3DS version with the outlines around the models.

I don't think there was much complaints about the lack of character reveals.


And I don't think Mewtwo is going to get revealed until wayyyy later if he's in the game.
 
I seriously think Lucario will be in, with Mega Evolving as a Down B

wait wut

all of the designs are organic so far. Chesnaught is wearing a full body armor resembling that of an armadillo's scales.

What's that Pokemon book he bought.

Coloring book, if you preorder both X and Y in Pokemon Center in Japan, you get both the minifigures of Xern and Yvel as well as the coloring book.

It's a chestnut.

The red outline, the white color, the bands, the green spikes... it's all based on a ripe, opened chestnut.

If you want shapes and colors aimlessly placed about, Gen 1 has examples of those too. Jynx, Mr. Mime, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee are a stretch as well.

Send it in, hell if you got it less than a year ago you should still be in warranty, also see about registering the serial number on Club Nintendo, you might get an extra warranty period (3 months IIRC?).

It's over a years so they're charging me $100. Not sure how much I trust them at that price.
 
Don't worry, I got Pokémon a day early and I just beat the first gym!

I got Pokemon a day early as well but I'm not going to play it until next week. =P

Also I hope that if they do add Mewtwo it's the one from the first movie. The one with a more badass voice actor.
 
No character reveals until E3 2014.

I'm not sure where trust enters the picture. They'll either fix the hinge or transfer all your saves and data to a non-broken 3DSXL for $100. Nothing to distrust there.

The only question is whether you think that's worth $100.
 
I really don't know. Would love to hear an explanation of this.

Nintendo doesn't have that much control over the Pokémon series. Although it is a Nintendo IP, The Pokémon Company has more autonomy on how they want the series marketed. Nintendo doesn't get to do whatever they want with the series.

Oh boy. What if Pokemon Company said ONLY ONE POKEMON CHARACTER in SSB4 and that would be Pikachu only.
 
Is it weird that I'm worried about Captain Falcon? I mean, he hasn't been announced yet, and he hasn't had a game since the GameCube. I'm pretty sure he will stay regardless, but I'd like an actual confirmation.

Yes its incredibly weird, I'm gonna tell you this before sakurai does, captain falcon is confirmed.

Falcon is a mainstay. Most of his popularity is from Smash. And F-Zero deserves a rep even though Nintendo's forgotten about it lately.

Don't worry, Captain Falcon will be there for sure. He's the sole representation of an entire series and he's an original from Smash 64. He will be in for sure, no matter how many recent games he has under his belt. Also, F-Zero was in Nintendo Land.

Only veteran that I care about that kinda worries me is Ike. I hope he's in, because I like his playstyle and prefer it over Marth's.
 
I feel like they could go a while without showing more characters. We got a nice amount in a short time span and one of them was Sonic. I mention him specifically because he seemed to be one of the most heavily requested to return. We were getting spoiled. I don't think we should be surprised if a character is announced around the time they have a game releasing, but I don't think we should expect it either. Having said that I hope to see Zelda or Ganondorf around the release of ALBW. Lol.

Man, it's not just cause of the playstyle. With the hypothetical roster lists, I saw a lot of people cutting Ike for Chrom, assuming Chrom could just inherit Ike's playstyle. Putting aside their fighting styles, they're medium height blue swordsmen in capes, the blue haired swordsmen in capes models are close enough. But I don't even like Chrom (that much). I like Ike!

Heck, I bet people who played Awakening don't even like Chrom, they just assume he's in because he's the newest FE Lord. Everyone would rather have Lucina or Anna or Tharja or Robin or someone not-Chrom.

It does seem rather odd that we didn't get a character reveal for what was easily Nintendo's biggest release of the year, when The Wind Waker HD brought us the Toon Link reveal of all things. I guess it could be because we just got like three three weeks in a row, but that begs the question as to why Sakurai felt compelled to reveal Peach when he did, when SM3DW would have been the perfect time to do so and she doesn't seem completely finished.

Oh well.
 
Despite being an F-Zero character, Captain Falcon is pretty much "invented" by Smash Bros. He can't be outside of Smash Bros.

Mega Mewtwo Y is the most likely contender, since nearly all Pokemon additions (with the exception of Pokemon Trainer) tend to be those who get attention in the anime or movies

You mean like Lucario? :P

Tip: Play X and Y, and hell, just focus on the advertising. Simply using "movies or anime" is a naive reasoning.

Clearly he revealed her so he could show off pics of her bedroom eyes
 
Are we still pretending the movies don't count when choosing Pokemon when Sakurai basically said they do?

Anyway, concerning Super Mario 3D World's release date: I know it is often pointed out that it is releasing the same day as A Link Between Worlds, but this is only true for America--the Japanese release date for A Link Between Worlds is a little over a month later.

Nope, but people misuse his quote. The general idea is what the game is pushing, not simply "movies", otherwise it'd be a fallacy since Darkrai or Manaphy should've been playable.

Lucario is
glorified a lot in XY, like having a subplot about being the first Pokemon to Mega Evolve, having a special event that ends up with you getting a Lucario for free with a Lucarionite
, Lucario being one of the major "advertisers" of Mega Evolution along with Mega Mewtwo Y, and is featured prominently in the XY anime along with Blaziken.

Not saying Mewtwo won't return, but to say that Lucario isn't "being featured prominently in the new gen" is ignorant.
