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

Just got a Wii U and I was thinking of getting the wii version of Smash. How does it look? Does it upscale well or isn't it much of a difference? All in all I'm wondering if it's worth it?

It looks fine, but it's upscaled from 480p so it's aliasing city on a modern TV. If you can tolerate jaggies it plays fine, though you'd probably want to be using classic controllers to play it.
 
Sounds reasonable, here are my conservative predictions for the next Direct:

- Dedicated account systems for WiiU and 3DS to track purchases
- Influx of new titles for both Virtual Consoles
- Permanent price reduction for all VC titles
- Super Mario 3D All-Stars (WiiU), compiling HD remakes of SM64DS, SMS, SMG and SMG2
- WiiU bundle with Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Super Mario 3D World
- Kid Icarus: Uprising HD (WiiU)
- Metroid Prime Trilogy HD (WiiU)
- MPT now has Hunters and Pinball, revamped in HD
- Fire Emblem: Radiant Anthology (HD PoR/RD combo pack for WiiU)
- Xenoblade Chronicles and Baiten Kaitos Collection HD (WiiU)
- Monolith Soft's X -- English name, date, details
- Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate worldwide release, for 3DS and WiiU
- Steel Diver free-to-play online multiplayer title
- Mother 3 English localization coming to WiiU eShop
- Bayonetta: Collector's Edition -- definitive edition of first title, available on WiiU eShop
- Bayonetta CE includes digital copies of anime film, "Eyes of Bayonetta," demo of Bayonetta 2
- All-new MARIO STRIKERS CHARGED for WiiU, from Next Level Games
- All-new STAR FOX for WiiU, from Hideki Kamiya and PlatinumGames
- All-new F-ZERO and WAVE RACE titles for WiiU
- All-new METROID titles, for both 3DS and WiiU
- The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (3DS)
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (WiiU, remake in style of tech demo)
- First look at The Legend of Zelda for WiiU (tentative title)
- Six Smash Bros. newcomers, revealed piecemeal: Mii, Little Mac, Takamaru, Palutena, Ridley, Pac-Man
- Takamaru reveal includes localization of Mysterious Murasame Castle, special Iwata Asks
- Six Smash Bros. veterans also confirmed: Wario, Yoshi, Ice Climbers, Ness, Captain Falcon, Solid Snake

You are the master of hype Neiteio. Stop making me excited for things that won't happen! ;_;
 
whoa I just noticed a PoR/RD HD combo in that wish list of yours

if only.....:(
Yeah, I've only played Awakening and only got into the series because they added Casual Mode, where perma-death is removed. What I'd want is Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, in HD, on one disk, with Casual Mode added as an option, as well as optional touch controls on the WiiU GamePad, Off-TV Play, and Miiverse integration. It'd be one heck of a value, given PoR and RD are incredibly rare these days, and exorbitantly expensive. :)

in b4 "Casual Mode is for scrubby n00bs"
 
normal bet. If Takamaru didn't get in then you will have a choice of any avatar that you watn me to wear, at long, it's clean. For two weeks.

If Takamaru get in, then I will pick an avatar for you and you have to wear for two weeks. and of course, it will be clean as well.
Also: Whichever of you wins, makes me a taco salad.

The one who loses, makes me a root beer float.

...damn, now I'm hungry/thirsty.

I'm on!

But just so you know, none of us will remember this by the time the game comes out, lol.

By the way I guess it wasn't really established, but our bet is for 2 weeks also right?

:P

(although in all seriousness, FE10 could use some rebalancing)

He's serious for his own good. :3
What if you end up losing multiple bets? Who gets to choose your avatar first?
 
I just made two one night bets in the past two days, one week isn't the lowest. Lol. But I guess there have been several longer bets going on.

Yeah, I'm proud of my records so far.

I won a bet against Qurupeke. His bet is that he predict that Lucina would reveal before Marth, but I disagreed. The result is:

I felt bad that he had one of most annoying avatar, so I decided to be merciful member to grant him a second avatar so it wouldn't bother him or other people.

2. A bet with Troubled Bat. She predicted that we would get Captain Falcon last Wednesday, but she was dearly wrong. The result is that she is waiting for Wednesday FOREVER, and new beloved avatar that everyone dreadfully witnessed.

Yeah, she only had it for few days, so I decided to allowed her to changed the avatar because everyone loathe the avatar. Yeah, I actually feel bad for them.

3. A bet with Troubled Bat, AGAIN! She predicted that we would get character reveal yesterday, but she was wrong once again. Of course, I gave her a better avatar that would be easy on people's eyes.

I still have 4 ongoing bets with 4 different members in this thread.

1. Troubled Bat, again.. She betted that Waluigi will be playable character in SSB4.

2. I'M FINISHED. He betted that Snake wouldn't shown up in SSB4, but I hopefully disagreed with him.

3. Ryce, he don't believe in the rumor that would happens so unfortunately, I'm still clinging on the hope that rumor would happens. So Little Mac, Mii and Pac-Man have to be confirmed in order for me to win.

4. Drago, He strongly believed that we will get playable Chibi Robot for SSB4.

5. Gartooth, He is rooting for Simon Belmont to make his first smash debut this generation, but I strongly disagreed with him so here we are.

6. Kjellson, The sole disbeliever of Takamaru being playable character, so I had to rescue the hope that we had for Takamaru. I challenged him right at the spot.

I guess in order of whoever made bet first or they can discuss it out together.

Hmm not the glowing recommendation I was hoping for. I guess I'll skip it. Thanks for the honesty:)

Ha. :) And yeah, I'd imagine there could be gameplay tweaks to make both titles their "definitive versions."

There's certainly a lot of love for the franchise at Nintendo, and Intelligent Systems is crazy productive, so... maybe! :)

In the event of any confusion as to who lost what, everyone can make me taco salads and root beer floats.

I know, I know... Such sacrifice. But I am just that kind of guy.

you're on a roll
 
I definitely think Takamaru will be in, and I WANT him in.

My second most wanted character is Genesect though, the main part of development lined up when he was being promoted a bunch, so I'm still hopeful.
 
I like Genesect, but I would prefer Blaziken if we were voting for humanoid-type pokemon.
Yeah, I'd opt for Blaziken, too -- Mega Blaziken, to be precise. And no Final Smash needed. He'd just Mega Evolve as soon as he lands on the stage. :)

Although I think a "Trainer Y" with Chespin, Braxien and Greninja would be best.
 
I'd bet the better bet bets on not betting on the better betting better than the better's best bet before the bet on whether the better can bet better.

tldr gambling for the loss
 
Takamaru believers makes me laugh. I'd bet Takamaru won't be in a Smash game in fifty years when they're starting to run out of characters.

They are running out of characters. Sakurai even said this. Asking for more Mario, Zelda, Starfox is more insane than asking for this character.
 
Since we're on the subject of bets me and Timeaisis are doing a bet as well. I bet that the next newcomer we'll see will be Little Mac. And if multiple newcomers get revealed in a trailer, it'll be based on which one is seen first.
 
Takamaru's getting in. Nintendoland, getting rated by ESRB for VC, still a popular character, fits as a retro character which Sakurai likes to add.

Plus, the music from his games are perfect for Smash Bros., and he has some fantastic moves to draw upon.

Also, the Famicon Four will finally be united: Link, Takamaru, Samus and Pit!

They aren't running out of characters, Sakurai just needs to be more accepting of 2nd tier Nintendo franchises. Looking at Brawl's AT list and there are quiet a few characters who'd be decent Smash characters who got relegated to assist only like Saki, Ray MK2, Little Mac, Barbara, and Starfy.

Speaking of Starfy I'm surprised more people haven't talked about him as a potential rep, he even finally got a game released in English and seems like an easy "make him playable in Smash and boost his series popularity" choice

Starfy is actually more qualified/credentialed than 90 percent of people's suggestions for Smash. He also has his share of cool powers and transformations that would make him exciting to see in battle.

Nice bet to have

So what you're saying is Starfy will never, ever get into Smash Bros.
 
I'd be willing to bet on Dillon or Tempo being in the game in some form.

Dillon would be the only one with potential for a moveset though.

Pfft, sounds like you haven't played Harmo Knight! Tempo would be amazing! He would thwack enemies with his staff, and could have the birds/dolphins for his recovery move (Up Special), fire notes or baddies at his enemies (Special and Forward Special!), and he could even call in Tappy, Lyra and Tyko much like how Wario calls in a motorcycle (Down Special).

The best part, though, would be the sound his staff makes -- it would harmonize with the music currently playing in the background of the stage. Furthermore, Tempo's bobbing as he runs around would synchronize to the beat of the background music, as well!

Saki and Isaac are probably the only characters he could make interesting. I think people stopped caring about Stafy when he made him a joke assist. That pretty much showed how Sakurai views that character.

i know you already know this but you're overselling it to a point where it's evident that your point are becoming counterpoints to your own point

plus i have played harmoknight and it was a solid 6/10
