Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 5: Yarning for Yoshi

I'm hoping for a donkey kong fakeout trailer, like mario kart.

Starts off looking like a tropical freeze trailer, then maybe yoshi appears. That's my prediction anyway.
 
Tommorow's new Pokemon XY Episode is called "Dedenne is Pichu and Pichu is Dedenne".

Dedenne replacing Pichu as a Newcomer tomorrow, it's perfect synergy!
 
Was already posted, but this one is more clear.

It's actually finally revealing how to evolve a Dedenne into a Raichu. ( ͡° ͜ʖ͡°)
 
Again, I appreciate every character announcement, but wasting a Nintendo Direct on a few Diddy Kong screens (like Luigi) would be bullshit. We'd have to wait until April for the next newcomer.
 
Did Sakurai even retweet the last Direct?

Yes.

Luigi screenshots really didn't waste a Direct. Also it was quite a surprise as he is usually an unlock so people didn't actually expect him to be revealed.

Watch him still be a locked character. Between him, Rosalina and Lucario, I honestly believe Sakurai has stopped giving a fuck about keeping locked characters hidden until release.

Please...RETWEET.

Iwata:

Today, I will like to announce, Masahiro Sakurai has taken the time to record two special Smash Brothers. videos for you. For Wii U, a native 1080p trailer will be available for downloading at 60fps showcasing a full match, likewise, Smash Brothers. 3DS will be receiving a downloadble trailer of Smash Bros in 3D at 60fps showing a full match.

Believe, BELIEVE.

Oh, and it'll feature Palutena, of course.
 
Funny, I had the weirdest feeling we may be getting a fakeout pic today, and now I hear about the Direct, lol.

Excited for both the screen and Direct, regardless!

It'll be Palutena vs Ridley and it'll introduce a character swap mechanic that allows the player using Ridley to change to Snake when he respawns
 
Not sure if old or not, but someone on Reddit put the characters together at their "real" sizes

Pretty interesting. I never really realized how small the Pokemon in the game are.

There's a Ridley joke waiting to happen

Olimar is actually much much smaller than depicted in that image. He's about as big as a finger nail.
 
I'd like to think Sakurai submits Newcomer reveal videos for approval to Nintendo to show in their next direct, and doesn't know when it is until they announce it.

So it could be a random newcomer! Possibly alongside an overnight Diddy reveal haha

It might not be DK related newcomer in other words.
 
Actually, Olimar is the size of a quarter

Ah yes, apparently that's his size with the space suit - 3.9 cm or 1.5 inches. Without it, he's 1.9 cm or 0.75 inches. Still, much smaller than depicted in the image.

While it might not be a DK-related newcomer, assuming that Nintendo isn't communicating with their developers what they want show in their Directs is pretty much assuming that they're outright incompetent at PR.

Maybe most unlockable characters will be clones/model swaps like in Melee? Melee promoted Ness and Captain Falcon from unlockable to starters due to that. Brawl had a different approach and just made most unlockable returning characters, which resulted in Ness and Captain Falcon going back to unlockable status. However, if we get a selection of unlockables more like Melee's again, it could explain the veteran reveals we've seen so far. They don't need to keep them for unlockable content since they'll have a bunch of quickly done model swaps that wouldn't be very marketable as newcomers, but at least will fill in the unlockable/new character quota.
