Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

My favourite part of looking at people's smash newcomer hopes is seeing all the broken dreams just waiting to happen.

I have pretty unrealistic desires for the roster that I know aren't happening. For me it's more about the sum of the overall roster rather than missing any individual character so as long as there is a decent number in terms of quality and quantity then I won't have much to be upset about.
 
You know, I remember Reggie saying this is actually Nintendo's newest "character":

Make it happen. Just like the car in Fighter's Megamix.
Well, if Toon Link can be both a train conductor and a fighter at the same time, I suppose the island can fight while it's simultaneously in the background of the Pilotwings stage, sure.

Someone should suggest and obscure character so I can berate them for their illogical choice.
Sveta
Great Puma
Sky Skipper
 
PMD: Explorers of Time and Darkness is probably one of the best stories in the franchise.

And it was dark before the mainline games started getting skeevy main plots.
 
Jazz, what on god's name are you even going on about?



...So killing off a franchise that has a rather sizable fanbase is better than people calling Capcom out on this.

Wow, okay.



First off, you picked the worst possible examples.

Second of all, who the fuck really says that about Dead Rising?

And lastly, the Sakurai thing is a joke. Seriously, did you let that fly over your head?

Capcom killing megaman off is terrible but everytime I go into a thread about something megaman related theres always someone trying to spin any cool things related to it in a negative limelight, and yes someone did think to say that the megaman x costume in Dead rising 3 was Capcom trolling as usual.

I hate that theres no new game as much as anyone but god damn some people need to put a lid on it with hyperbole statements
 
I saw the rumors at other boards.

throwaway account here! i heard some pretty big smash bros news through the grapevine..
-the game’s single player component is an adventure mode very similar to the one found in super smash bros melee
-you can create custom mii characters with different costumes, moves and taunts, and these miis can be saved to individual slots. you can trade miis between platforms and with friends, and you can upload, download and rate miis online. most of the mii parts, like new costumes and attacks, are unlockable.
-stage builder has been greatly expanded upon and has a similar online feature set to the miis
-nintendo will be producing packs of smash bros ar trading cards with original artwork, classic art, character bios, stage descriptions, item descriptions and so on. these cards can be scanned to unlock new mii parts, stage builder parts, music, trophies and other goodies.
-august 2014 is the target release date on both platforms
from what i hear, a little bit of the above is going to be shown off next month in a nintendo direct. so i suppose that’s the best proof i can give you all for now. ignore this post in the meantime if you like, but check back in a month to see how i did. ;)
 
Lol August 2014

*In which we have telepathic links to the developers that allow us to have a solid idea of how far in development the game actually is*

Regardless, it mostly sounds very safe and fairly uninformative. Not something to put much stock in. At the least if someone buys into it there isn't much to be disappointed by.
 

Expanded stage builder would be so awesome. I would't be surprised if Smash Bros. used AR Cards like Uprising. It was a great idea then.

God an Auguest 2014 release date would make me ecstatic. Highly doubt it though.

I know it's fake but I'm not sure if anyone ever post it here.

Someone posted it yesterday I believe. It's a damn good fake if it isn't real.

But as with all rumors, they're fake until proven real.
 
The day Ridley is playable in Smash Bros will be the day Nintendo gives up and listen to fans instead of finding new crazy stuff like Snake or Wii Fit Trainer.

That's really how I'd take it. Nintendo giving up.

Something's off about Jiggly's face.

The outlines are wrong, as Sakurai explained one day. It's not a black outline, but based on the color of the outer edges of the model. Plus they look all sorts of uneven. Pretty nice models, though.
 
lol, I'm no NOA marketer but I highly doubt the two versions will come out at the same time. Why bury the WiiU version.

They moved Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario and Mario Party to the 3DS, leaving the Wii U with pretty much nothing during the 2013 Spring/Summer besides 1 game every 2 months.

I'm pretty sure they'll launch the two Smashes at the same time.
 
August 2014? That would be a birthday release for me. But what company would actually release their biggest game while everyone is on vacation?

I'd say a dragon that can use all 8 limbs with good reach and a myriad of projectiles is pretty crazy and new. It's not like fan requests and interesting characters are mutually exclusive.

The post made it sound like you didn't think it could come out in that period at all.

Yeah you're most likely right. Here's an analysis of the pic done by a Smashboards user:

Nintendo tends to go on a media blitz early in the year to show off unannounced releases, so that doesn't mean much. Luigi's Mansion was in development for ages for 3DS by a 3rd party studio and never had any intention of a home console release, Paper Mario came out a year ago and there's nothing stopping them from continuing with a Wii U one, Mario Party flip flops between platforms all the time and that team just released Wii Party U, so there's another one in the pipeline soon for sure.

Ignoring all the evidence we've been given that they aren't going to share a launch, the games released and upcoming don't really force their hand.
 
I'm going August 2014 for Wii U version. October 2014 for 3DS.

My reasoning? I like the sounds of those months and I don't think they will release right at the end of the year but before the holiday season starts around November.
