DA RETURN OF TROPHIES.

I fucking loved collecting trophies in Melee. Remember that little dispenser thing where you put coins and shit in there and awesome trophies came out? Do want.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Can we trade trophies between Wii U and 3DS?

 

[JB2448]

Happy New Year!
Pic of the day. There will be trophies in the 3DS and Wii U games, and each version will boast different types and models. The 3DS trophies will be mainly from handhelds and the Wii U version will feature trophies from the home-console games.

Oh man, I can't wait to know just how many trophies are in both titles!

 

[Loco4Coco]

Is anybody else bothered by how they now consider Ocarina of Time to be a handheld game only? I guess there won't be any Saria trophy in the Wii U version.

They'll have Majora's Mask

Spoiler

HD

trophies instead.

 

[Berordn]

I hope they make more original Trophy Models like they did for Melee.

When the first one he shows is geometry taken directly from OoT:3D? Don't bet on it.

There's no reason why she still can't be in the Wii U version. It's not like characters like Mario won't be in both. Maybe she'll have a different pose.

 

[J@hranimo]

Yeah I hope they bring back this music for the trophy section. So goooood.

Ocarina of Time 3D is a handheld game only. While they may repeat the Brawl route with the Wii U version and just rip the easiest/newest 3D models, Sakurai putting a 3DS model into a 3DS game is not confirmation of either of the things you said.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Or maybe there are some trophies that can only be unlocked on both versions by having the Wii U and 3DS game communicate?

 

[Boss Doggie]

FEA trophies would be hilarious if it would mean having pegleg feet.

Also WELCOME BACK WEEKDAY SMASHGAF

 

[ffdgh]

just bring back Melee's lottery thing instead of Brawl's stupid game and we're good on the trophy front

Yeeessssss! Lottery was so much better than coin launcher.

 

[EatChildren]

Is anybody else bothered by how they now consider Ocarina of Time to be a handheld game only? I guess there won't be any Saria trophy in the Wii U version.

Eh. They're using Ocarina of Time 3DS as a reference point. Doesn't mean they cannot/will not reference the N64 build.

 

[Zalman]

Or maybe there are some trophies that can only be unlocked on both versions by having the Wii U and 3DS game communicate?

You know, that's actually very possible considering they said the games can communicate in some way.

 

[SuperSah]

Expecting him to rip off all the DKCR dioramas and call them trophies.

I actually think that for trophies, they should have a mix between handheld/consoles, but this is a good way to further seperate both games and make people double-dip.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

The Gerudo Valley stage is exclusive to the 3DS version. It would be no different than adding a Donut Plains stage to represent Super Mario Advance 2, a handheld port of a console game. It just doesn't sit well with me.

 

[jph139]

I'm hoping for more original models too. So many obscure, old-school, Japan-only characters that popped up in Melee.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Nice, I'm quite happy about trophies returning. Not surprised, but happy!

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

You know, that's actually very possible considering they said the games can communicate in some way.

I'm well aware. Sakurai has been mum on that front. I don't know if I should speculate bigger or smaller.

 

[SkullHydra]

Should've been a Ridley trophy.

 

[Fiktion]

There is probably a whole generation of gamers out there for whom OoT is a 3DS game.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Polish trophies with the Wii U Gamepad and 3DS touch screen!

 

[Anth0ny]

Is anybody else bothered by how they now consider Ocarina of Time to be a handheld game only? I guess there won't be any Saria trophy in the Wii U version.

Saria trophy in 3DS game = Saria model from OOT 3D
Saria trophy in Wii U game = Saria model from OOT 64

problem solved

 

[J-Tier]

They should've allocated a small part of the team to specifically work on trophies. Just tell them to model as many Nintendo characters they could think of.

 

[SuperSah]

Are we expecting 90% of 3DS trophies to be based off Uprising then?

Also, I think we should be able to trade trophies via an online hub or StreetPass. You select the one's you don't want and recieve offers from others online, or you randonly swap with StreetPassers.

better spent on character balancing

I loved when you could do that to badges in pokemon and they sparkled..

 

[J-Tier]

3D modelers probably aren't the best for character balancing. And those are a dime in a dozen in the game design world.

 

[Berordn]

And then when you tapped them you could play hot cross buns~

 

[MrSaturn99]

Trophies! Cool.

Give me something like the coin launcher (or rather just anything with more interactivity than the lottery) and balanced representation between franchises and I'm good.

 

[leroidys]

So that's how they think they're going to make me buy both versions, huh?

Well... shit. I'll probably get both now.

 

[Hello.]

Even though it was somewhat obvious it's nice to see an actual new feature revealed from the new installment. Trophies are a cool addition.

 

[Nia]

The first update of 2014 is a trophy of my favorite Zelda Character?

I'm quite pleased. That's more acknowledgement than I expected Saria to get in 100 years. An original HD trophy of her on the Wii U would also be nice though.

 

[SuperSah]

It's good we're going to be seeing more than just fighting screenshots.

Smash 4 feels sooooo close.

 

[blamite]

Neato. Actually for a while I was thinking maybe the Wii U version would have trophies, and the 3DS version would have collectible cards. That way they could sell little model trophies with NFC chips and card packs to do AR stuff with.

 

[Mariolee]

It's good we're going to be seeing more than just fighting screenshots.

Smash 4 feels sooooo close.

Smash is the only game I'm excited to see even the menu of.

 

[Smashman45]

I guess this is our first non-gameplay pic. This seems to give a bit of a look on the menu, which I'm honestly curious about.

I wouldn't mind them giving it a darker theme ala Melee to the menus.

 

[NateDrake]

Ocarina of Time 3D is a handheld game only. While they may repeat the Brawl route with the Wii U version and just rip the easiest/newest 3D models, Sakurai putting a 3DS model into a 3DS game is not confirmation of either of the things you said.

Exactly.

Plus Sakurai said "the 3DS trophies will be mainly from handhelds and the Wii U version will feature trophies from the home-console games." OoT Trophy will likely be in the Wii U game.

 

[Zalman]

Still probably 11 months left.

 

[oreomunsta]

That would be the end to all of my savings >.>

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

You said it. It'll just feel so real once we see that.

I really like trophies, but Brawl's trophy selection was such a drag compared to Melee's.

 

[qq more]

I can't wait for a million completely unaltered models ripped from DKCR3D, SM3DL, OOT3D, SF643D, ALBW, ACNL, FEA, and more.

I freaking hated that in Brawl. It made trophies less interesting

Neato. Actually for a while I was thinking maybe the Wii U version would have trophies, and the 3DS version would have collectible cards. That way they could sell little model trophies with NFC chips and card packs to do AR stuff with.

Egh, I wouldn't want to be nickled and dimed just to get a 100% completion

 

[Mockingbird]

I can't wait for a million completely unaltered models ripped from DKCR3D, SM3DL, OOT3D, SF643D, ALBW, ACNL, FEA, and more.

Which is why Melee's trophies were much better than Brawl's. Seeing a 3D model of Marin was awesome!

Though Brawl did have some very few newly modeled ones:

 

[Neiteio]

The Gerudo Valley stage looks so good.

So do the other 3DS stages:

I've been looking for gifs like these. Are there any more?

 

[foxuzamaki]

I like collecting the trophies :<

So do I, I cant wait to hop into the coin machine in smash 4, those are oddly addicting

 

[qq more]

I know it's just one trophy but I'm sort of disappointed it's a direct model rip. If this at least means putting graphical resources into stage builder assets with loads of variety (unlike the really crappy Brawl one, whereas it had 3 themes which were lame SSE assets) then I'm okay with this.

 

[SuperSah]

Them GIFs, SO good.

Sakurai commented on his Pic of the Day:

"The new Super Smash Bros. games are expected to be released sometime in 2014. We're still working on beefing them up even more so please stay tuned."

Just posted on Miiverse as response to others.

 

[Neiteio]

Oh wow, I didn't realize Sakurai had posted an update, lol

YES!! I love trophies! I love model viewers in general, and the ones in Smash (and Kid Icarus Uprising) are among the BEST! I'm thrilled to see they're returning, and with different trophies for each version of the game. Totally cool with OoT3D being in the 3DS version, as well. And super-thrilled to see a Saria trophy!

I've been looking for gifs like these. Are there any more?

I retrieved those from around the time of E3. I'm not sure if there are more out there, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

So no X/Y, FE:Awakening or Luigi's Mansion 2 trophies for Wii-U Smash or...?
