Dumb question. Is he really playing Pokemon? If so, that's pretty cool.

Probably.

 

[peaceiscloser]

It's only a ghost town because they were all killed by a villainous character. Though, Skyloft is a pretty big stage, so said character would also have to be big...

Oh my gosh, these Ridley jokes never get old hahaha!!

Yes he is. He uploaded images on Twitter.

Smash delayed.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Sakurai is still the best troll in video games, waiting for the day I see another Pokémon rep announced because of X/Y seems unlikely now.

 

[Oblivion]

Pic of the day:

Caption: A panoramic view of Skyloft, a location that we've seen since the first announcement of the game. You fight landing on the various platforms.

I really do not like that stage. It looks hardly any different than the Wii game it was ripped from.

 

[SmashBro]

Ever since I started college, I've been heading to sleep before 11:00 PM PST, but for some reason almost like clockwork I wake up at 3:00 AM and my body instinctively heads to my phone and checks the Smash Bros. website.

What's happening to me?

Smash bros games tend to have that effect on people haha

 

[suavelicious]

Hmm... Yesterday had red and blue blocks

Today we have yellow.

Gold and silver tomorrow : P

Spoiler

don't take this seriously

Statue on the left -> silver
Flying market thing on the right -> gold

Spoiler

;D

 

[BGBW]

Technically for the Japanese the order is
Red/Green -> Red/Blue -> Yellow

 

[Ushojax]

I hate how empty Skyloft looks. Surely they could put a few villagers in there.

Why create a new asset when you can reuse old ones?

Sakurai logic.

 

[ffdgh]

No comment.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Sakurai is busy playing Pokemon-amie

 

[BGBW]

It's not November yet ffdgh.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Is it just me or is the E3 shot more dark and detailed?

Recycling shots. C'mon Sakurai, we know you're playing Pokemon, but pls.

You literally have that backwards

 

[StayDead]

Why do people complain so much about lack of character reveals? You're lucky you're even getting any screenshots at all. If this was any other game you'd probably get a few new screenshots every few months until release. Would you rather have that?

 

[Memino]

Haven't been following development at all, has anything been said about the engine being closer to brawl or melee? Brawl felt too floaty for me and ruined my enjoyment of the game, something between the two would be great I hope they speed it up a bit.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Nice update, and it seem that they made the colors more brighter for the stage, right?

Sakurai said that it will be between Melee and Brawl, so we will see how good it would be to be middle.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I still think it's funny how Delfino Plaza got all these graphical enhancements/alterations, yet Skyloft is pretty much exactly the same.

Spoiler

maybe this means Sakurai agrees with me on how terrible SS was? lol

 

[georly]

Statue on the left -> silver
Flying market thing on the right -> gold

Spoiler

;D

Actually, the detail you should pay attention to here is that this is part of hyrule. And hyrules have fairies. Fairy type pokemon confirmed to be revealed!

 

[Green Mamba]

I'm pretty sure Skyloft is devoid of citizenry for the same reasons Delfino Plaza was--framerate, and the fact that the player characters are not properly to scale with the city. The characters are giants in comparison to the characters in SS.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Holy fuck the entitlement in this thread is almost cringe-worthy. He doesn't have to be doing daily shots at all, you know?

Anyway, game looks good. Can't wait for more footage though

He doesn't.

However its more for him than us.

That brings back Brawl dojo memories

He named his Aerodactyl Ridley-kun and is feeding him cakes~

 

[SenorArdilla]

So today we got nothing. Truly the revival of Japan Time has come.

 

[Hello.]

And to compare it with the one from the press pack from E3:

Todays:

Press Pack:

lol, he's really just not trying this week, huh?

 

[zroid]

I really do not like that stage. It looks hardly any different than the Wii game it was ripped from.

i don't think it looks different at all. it's just upscaled. And since this is a 480p screenshot... well yeah.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

It's actually been described as a mid-way between Melee and Brawl if I remember.

 

[Timeaisis]

Yeah, it looks pretty much identical. They probably just ripped the assets out of SS and put it in. Well....at least we get Skyloft. Still cool.

 

[-Horizon-]

And will you look at that...it's nothing

Spoiler

new

lol.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

The wolves are quick to turn on you when they don't like what you're feeding them.

I don't think that many people are actually complaining about the lack of character reveals for today's snapshot. Most of the complaints of today's snapshot seems to be just how reused/boring it is and how lifeless the level itself looks. (Personally I'm more bothered that it's reusing too much ripped assets. Would be nice if it was touched up more)

Yesterday's snapshot was fine though.

EDIT: Looking at the previous page... yeah I sort of see what you mean now. lol

Holy fuck the entitlement in this thread is almost cringe-worthy.

Fucking entitled gamers!

We're all pretty sure its pokemon. If it isn't, I nominate qq more to take the blame and change his avatar back to qq moe in pure disgrace.

H-Hey now! I'm not the one to be blamed! D:!

 

[VegiHam]

lol, he's really just not trying this week, huh?

He's trying to decide which of the new Pokemon is his favourite so he knows which to include, obviously. We've got to give him some time to finish the games.

Activision are close to confirming Tony Hawk for this, cannot wait he was great to play as in American Sk8land and will have amazing moves in this!

Looks like good news for the games competitive future, Nintendo being down with MLG is a huge step.

 

[GamerSoul]

having played Skyward Sword I think I've seen enough of this stage. :3

 

[VegiHam]

Team Chespin

I agree, best choice obviously. But maybe we'll be playing as Froakie

Spoiler

because Sakurai likes Ninjas.

 

[Vidiot]

It's been boring as of late. We're past due* tho not entitled to* our monthly character.

No we're not. We got Sonic like two weeks ago and Toon Link a week before that.

Having not played Skywards Sword... what's with the laser in the background?

Light beans showing where you can enter the land below through the clouds.

 

[SmithnCo]

It's not a rehash pic, if you look closely you can see Snake on the stage.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I wonder if I've ran into Sakurai as a Passerby when playing X/Y...

What if he's one of those dudes who spends all day sending out Bunnelby over Wonder Trade.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Chesnaught/Braixen/Froakie with Serena pls

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Would actually have been okay with the Skyloft picture if it had depicted it at night

 

[-Horizon-]

Giant censor bar.

I think I see Ridley as well.
