Sony's conference is tomorrow.
I like the ergonomics of the 360 pad more than any controller ever, however, the stick placement is disappointing...
I've been wanting that stick placement for shooters for years, however, it kind of sucks for everything that isn't a first person game. Camera control takes a backseat to face buttons in every genre that isn't a shooter or first person game.
It doesn't seem like that big of a deal on the WiiU gamepad. The side of the controller is huge. Shifting your hand down to touch buttons instead of the joystick doesn't appear to be as big of an issue, whereas the ergonomics of the Pro controller focus on where the right analog stick now is.
It's probably not a big deal for casual players, but high level Smash play involves all manner of fancy fingerwork, and doing so with the buttons in that lower position would not be nearly as intuitive.
As long as it doesn't lag or anything, I'll be going with the Wii Remote + Classic Pro for now I think. That also has shoulder buttons instead of triggers, which is better for Smash.

Honestly, Sakurai's interview killed my hype for SSB4 for this year, so I don't expect any SSB4 at this e3. NOTHING, NOTHING, JUST NOTHING!

That new controller's button and stick placements are completely mindboggling, but at least there's guarantee of a controller for Smash.

One of my own personal dreams would be a character or stage related to Magical Starsign. Replaying that one currently. Such a charming and good game!
I'm surprised people are actually petitioning for the action figure in the new smash game... I won't mind if he actually is from a game, but otherwise I don't really support this. Petitions rarely work, but if this does then I'll wish people had did this for actual characters instead -_-'.
It would be kind of a slap in the face to have this character over so many other Nintendo characters that are so deserving. There's still many franchises unrepresented, so I wouldn't be alright if a character based on an action figure got in and someone significant did not. Even though there's not that many extremely significant characters left... if there's a new joke character this time too, then I rather have the character at least have had a more prominent role.

I was trying to make a lame PSASBR joke.And Nintendo's is on Tuesday.
Am I reading something wrong here?
They are? I just thought it was a joke. Wario Ware is the most likely series that character will ever appear in.
If you're lucky you might get it as a new colour scheme for Captain Falcon.

If magic happens and Monster Hunter gets a rep, which one do you think would it be? A monster (lol too big), a hunter or a Felyne?
I misspoke.
Sakurai has been tweeting pictures of posable Microman action figures, so it looks like he's still in the process of planning out the characters' move sets.
"Likely to be required for work soon."
I KNOW THAT POSE
That's Captain Falcon's grab.

Microman? What's next, Transformers in smash?

Banana Iwata needs to be an alt costume for Diddy or Donkey Kong.

I don't think he's taking a break. They just simply might not be beyond the planning stage.
Yea he deserved a a little break. It's not like he's just making the same Mario game over and over again lol. I kid. If I remember correctly the original Brawl trailer wasn't at the conference either, but again expecting anything more than a couple of interviews at this point is a bit farfetched even if it could help Nintendo's cause.
Nintendo's showing hasn't finished yet, but everyone logically guessed we wouldn't get anything.

Nintendo's Wii U showing has ended. Tomorrow is supposedly the 3DS showing, and I doubt they would waste a Smash announcement then.
Told you guys not to expect anything!

Maybe the planning stage is his break? heh. And no matter what we would still like to know what his ideas and thoughts are for the next smash.

You're acting like games have been revealed post conference. I have no hopes for a showing, but theoretically the chance is still there.

wasn't a smash bros. (brawl I think) game announced post conference? There's still hope.
Yeah, it was announced the day after if I'm not mistaken
Yeah, about 0.1% hope.

I knew that we wouldn't get any tease trailer. I know e3 isn't over but it's their chance to show it today.
Brawls teaser came the day after the press conference. Not that we'll get one this time.

to defend myself, that was roundtable that happens a day after the press conference right? However, tomorrow would be 3DS conference, not roundtable.
The round table is tonight I'm pretty sure.

So with Takamaru having a section in Nintendo Land, as well as his recent guest appearance in Samurai Warriors and already being a popular character request from Japanese players, what do you think the odds are of Takamaru being a newcomer in Smash?
This was one of the only interesting things to me about Nintendo Land, haha. When I saw that, I knew there would be some Takamaru speculation. He seems like the top candidate for the "retro slot" as it were.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Speaking of which, do you think Nintendo Land itself will serve as a stage?

Very likely.

Also, the chances for Paper Mario (the 3DS game) and Toad (NSMB U) have gone up significantly, and I'd put them around the same level as Bowser Jr. in terms of likelihood (i.e. if a or more new Mario character(s) gets included, it's one of them).
Takamaru, I'm actually not sure. The reference in Nintendo Land seems like a "hint", but honestly, Takamaru doesn't even appear in that minigame, it's just his name. Though he definitely is among the hot contenders for the oddball/retro characters.
