Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

based on this comment they most be almost complete with development since they working on beefing up the game with content now.

Realistically, that could mean anything.
 
The most simple reading of that quote is to not worry about the games lacking in content despite what seemed to be a quick development time compared to Brawl.

Didn't Brawl's development not really start till 2006/late 2005 and it released March 2008? Meanwhile SSB4's started in 2012/late 2011 and it will release in 2014. That'd mean roughly the same amount of dev time.
 
Pic of the day trivia:

this is the first daily pic for which Sakurai didn't begin his comment by saying "Pic of the day".


the only exceptions are the pics posted along with Nintendo Directs; the "fake" pic posted at the normal time on those days still said "Pic of the day" though.

Brawl production started in Oct 2005, and original release date was December 3rd. Due to last minute Sonic addition, it was delayed until Jan 31st. (Japanese release date)

Problem with Sakurai and Brawl production is times. I don't remember the source, but I read that Sakurai admitted that Brawl schedule wasn't really time efficiently, so there are some amount of waste of times. Basically Sakurai mismanaged the budget and schedules during Brawl production. It might be a reason why they went with better company to help Sakurai out with the production.
 
Those 3DS gifs look great, but I wonder how distracting the screen shake effect is going to be on the small screen.

I bet it'll be fine.

Sakurai is OCD on all of his games. He simply will not release Smash on 3DS unless it meets his exceptionally high standards.

It will be fine and every 3DS hater will eat crow.
 
Brawl did have a bit of bloat, but god damn leave the Chronicles alone. That was really interesting to read.

And regarding trophies, it would be a waste of resources creating new models for them.

Also, Sah, you don't need to get defensive with any post that has skepticism with the game (regardless of which version) AND then claim it will be fine when you don't know for sure (I think it will be fine personally). Probably 25% of your posts in these threads are pretty much about that.
 
Soviet Prince did you photoshop this? Cause I'm on Miiverse checked my activity feed on Sakurai and see nothing.

Replies don't show up in the activity feed. You might have to swim through every comment in the new "thread" (whatever Miiverse calls it) to find it I believe.

I believed that there are few incorrect informations on Chronicles but I can imagine that it was translators' faults.

I think Sah should keep his job tho. He's our Smash3DS Knight. :o
 
Where does it say that they are "rapidly add content" ?

He's going off the "beefing up" part.

That said we should only be optimistic for release if they say they're about to enter intensive bug testing. They're still in the midst of the Pre-alpha phase. (Alpha is technically when the software is feature-complete.)
 
Disappointed to see that Saria's model comes directly from OOT3D and again disappointed that Sakurai sees fit to arbitrarily limit each version's content to "mostly console/handheld only."
 
The console/handheld divide actually makes me happy since it will mean in theory the GameBoy/Advance era will get some love since that has been sadly lacking in Smash Games. Funny when you consider Kirby was born on the GameBoy.

All this basically. They could have a different production pipeline than the typical one and actually be really close to done, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

Of course it could all be a mistranslation anyway.
 
Well someone can have a go at it:
Sakurai said:
2014年のどこかで、新作スマブラが出る予定ですね。 盛り込むべきことがまだまだいっぱいあるので、気長にお待ちくださいませ。

Huh, so trophies will be system-exclusive as well. Interesting. Gives me more motivation to try out both versions. It'd be cool if you could earn/transfer certain trophies for having both the 3DS & Wii U version.

Google translate says this:

It is scheduled to somewhere in 2014, new Smash Bros. comes out. Because there is still a lot things to include, please be patient.

Probably the original untranslated message to the one we got. I doubt it's accurate but Google seems to be telling me to let everyone down gently.
 
Kokonoe is my waifu.

EDIT: I want these lovelies to be on the new page. I plan to get both versions of Smash, but man... 3DS version has something special to it.

(It must be my OoT nostalgia. First the Gerudo Valley stage, and now the Saria-on-a-stump trophy!)

Watching those GIFs @ ~100 inches get me hype.

(for the record, the screen is 100 inches, I Jude didn't fill it all with the zoom)

Means nothing to me since I will be getting both versions.

And this, theres alot of unrepresentation of handheld games in smash, this just means there will be more focus on them aswell.

The first gif is kinda hilarious because mario does his dash attack and sends Bowser flying :P

His Miiverse comment solidifies a 2014 release for me. No pushbacks, no last minute inclusions, no SSE, I think the earliest it'll come out is June/July time.
 
Good news about different trophies. Good reason to play a lot of both versions.

Edit: Haha, that waifu debate a page back. This thread is bonkers.
 
I'm not sure if I'm interpreting his comments right, but it sounds like most of the major content has been added to the game at this point correct? In other words, they are now focusing on adding more content such as trophies, stickers, etc. to the game. Sounds like the game will be complete by around E3 time although that might not be when it ships.

Google's translation implies the exact opposite, but it's also a machine translation. Would be nice for someone to translate the Japanese post for us.
 
BTW I'm taking this GIF as confirmation that the 3DS game will actually be in 3D:

The platforms and whatnot are moving slowly into the background, a perfect 3D showcase. And it'd be almost impossible to tell that the spike is on the same plane as you before it busts through the platform there without relying on the 3D effect. It's really hard to predict in the GIF.
 
For some reason, I'm hoping the 3DS has trophies based on actual handhelds (GB, GBA, 3/DS, Virtual Boy because why not) & then Wii U has trophies for the NES/Famicom, SNES, etc. to fit the whole theme of 3DS representing handhelds & Wii U representing consoles. I don't think Brawl had any, but I remember the GCN trophy in Melee.

Oh, & Mega Man trophies for Roll, Protoman, Dr. Wily, Dr. Light, etc.
 
I liked the lottery slot machin in melee a lot more than the minigame brawl had, hope it's back for SmashFor also please don't bring back stickers such a boring and lame feature.

That's what Sakurai just confirmed on daily image. However, I'm still hoping that they would go farther than DS and Wii.

Oh, I know each version is gonna have exclusive trophies. I mean an actual trophy based on the system itself, like how Melee had a Gamecube trophy. I wanna see a trophy of, say, the Game Boy on the 3DS version & a little description of it.

My Apologies. I misunderstood your statement. Yeah, I don't mind to see that.

They'll probably have stamps for Miiverse instead, similar to Super Mario 3D World and NES Remix. They'll essentially take the same sort of concept/promo art they'd use for stickers, and turn them into black-and-white stamps you can use and modify in your Miiverse posts on WiiU and 3DS.

oh man you're right, and I imagine there being many many more stamps and variety of them than the boring collections you get from 3D world.
