Ships, actually. That and I'm excited to see how Nintendo's F2P strategy will work.
Tasty, tasty bait

Hahahaha! You know that's exactly what he wanted to say.
I bet we'll see an item a week now.
And yet, the only thing that came close to the majesty that was N64 Bob-ombs were Blast Boxes. Cracker Launchers, Gooey Bombs and (explosive) Rolling Crates were cool though.

Was that actually confirmed? I thought it was just a rumor.

Hey, I still like the idea of a Steel Diver level! Walking atop ships that get torpedoed, and surfacing subs.

For all the flack I gave the character models being Brawl+, the items and the assist trophies (only going by Skull Kid though 
) have REALLY improved.

Stated as such during an investor meeting. The Australian Classification Board also outed the title as being SteelDiver: Subwars.

The gun looks nice. Now I'm awaiting Style Savvy and Art Academy related items as well.

Yeah, this item especially looks nicely detailed.
Worst thing is that it'll likely end up selling more as a result.

What's the miiverse comment
Yeah, I assumed it was stage material too.

Pic of the day. Q: "Is this a Steel Diver?" A: "Yes, indeed, that is a Steel Diver." The sub from Steel Diver is now a cute projectile weapon--it launches torpedoes that fly slowly at first.
What if they have a stage in the works as well, but aren't ready to show it off? Has there been a case in the past where a small franchise has gotten a stage and item representation in Smash?

It could still possibly be a stage.
It -could- be a 3DS stage, I guess, but an item AND a stage for Steel Diver, which did the opposite of setting the world on fire? Even while aware of its future as Nintendo's first F2P project, I really doubt it.
Animal Crossing had everything but a playable character back in Brawl, but considering the moolah it brings Nintendo, I doubt anyone of us would call it "small".

One of the things that is uncompromisingly essentially for a F2P game is a very large playerbase: you need several, several players so that maybe 10-20% of them will pay enough for you can get a return on your investment. It would be wise to market the series enough to expose it to as wide of an audience as possible so that that large playerbase can be achieved when the game releases.

I'm always happy when I see Nintendo cramming every game they can in Smash Bros, that's what this game is about. I mean "Lip's Stick", how random is that ? Keep going, Nintendo, So far, everything is great.

I hope that Panel de Pon gets more representation. Though that's unlikely since Yoshi was slapped onto the game in its western release.
But it'll be released on the Wii U! -SHOT-
In all seriousness, a fair point. As far as I know though, wouldn't the F2P game in question release before Smash does? I do concede that Smash's evergreen effect would result beneficial for the game's awareness regardless of their release dates, to one degree or the other.

Why are people mad about this pic again?

Most well-monetized F2P games get frequent (think once every 1-2 months) content additions or other updates in order to keep player retention up. If Nintendo does likewise, and if SteelDiver: Subwars is as online as I think it will be (and reasonably popular), it should still be alive and getting updated by the time Smash comes out.
Also, I missed when it was (apparently) said that SteelDiver: Subwars will be a WiiU title. Where can I read up on it?
If this goes for me, just wanna clarify that I'm not at all disappointed or angered at this revelation. On the contrary, as I said, I predict it's gonna be a blast to actually play with, and you'll never hear me complaining about a new reveal on a pic of the day. I'm just stating my surprise, for I thought Steel Diver would lend itself more naturally for a stage. Sakurai is nothing if not an out-of-the-box thinker, though, and I'm grateful for it. Looking forward to shoot ya all with this baby!

Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack is my all-time favorite puzzle game. Lip the Fairy is one of those obviously near-impossible characters like Jill Dozer or Banjo & Kazooie* I'd love to see in Smash.
*okay they're probably literally impossible, but whatever you get my point

I like the idea of it being a stage as well. As others have said, it being an item hasn't ruled out the possibility of it being a stage (I personally like the idea of fighting aboard sinking ships and surfacing submarines).

Steel Diver lives on in Smash
Can't tell if that's a good or bad idea

Well it's definitely not a subpar revelation, but it's no substitute what some members here thought would be revealed subsequent to the weekend

...Guys....
What if these torpedoes act as meteor smashes if a character gets hit by them? In essence sinking that character?

They could be holding a Steel Diver-related stage back for the 3DS version, given it was a portable game and all.
All valid points! ... Sans for mine when I claimed Steel Diver would come for the U. I did some research just now and couldn't find anything that pointed in that direction. Closest thing is the Australian Classification Board you yourself referenced, which claims it as "Multiplatform". Which mind you, with Smash also releasing on both platforms, would play well with.
Abusing that sucker like there's no tomorrow if so.

That would be my guess; that the stage wasn't ready, but the comparatively simple item was.
The platform that it's available on could also be influenced by which platform the F2P title will release for.
I honestly came to the exact same conclusion when I saw that. If it's multiplatform to both the handheld and the system, it brings me to speculate on whether you could progress equally in both platforms' games via a tied NNID.
For those saying that Nintendo isn't that good at online, keep in mind that this is a F2P game. I'm using World of Tanks as an example here because that's my favorite F2P game: World of Tanks uses three different servers: one for the game server, one for monetary transactions, and one for logging in. We can speculate that there will be at least two servers for Steel Diver (for the game itself, since I believe it's going to be an online game, and the monetary transactions), so it's not that far of a stretch to believe that a third, login server could unify player progression across two platforms.
And besides, Nintendo has the capacity to remotely delete people's software for TOS violations. Nintendo is better at internet than people give them credit for.

Oh Steel Driver would probably a bad stage to play with. Just look at all the water
