If he actually forgot, wouldn't whoever translates all the captions have said something to someone right now?

His Cat is the one who does that....so maybe he is distracting sakurai?

What if there's a surprise Direct today and Serebii Joe is the next newcomer?

 

[Roo]

Ok, I'm done.
It's late, I'm tired and I need to be fresh as a daisy tomorrow morning so good night, folks.

 

[Sponge]

Yeah, I can't do this either. Never have I seen a PotD be this late.

Hope Sakurai's okay.

 

[foxuzamaki]

What if there's a surprise Direct today and Serebii Joe is the next newcomer?

Actually my most wanted newcomer.

 

[theprodigy]

Still have no idea why they're working on a 3DS version...should just reassign them to Wii U

Nintendo may make irrational decisions, but they aren't about to throw away money like that

Must be a heatwave.

10/10

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Nintendo may make irrational decisions, but they aren't about to throw away money like that

But they are in a way; it removes incentive to buy a Wii U

 

[doemaaan]

What the hell? It still isn't up?!

 

[OminousShadow]

Gonna have to bow out now too. Very weird how late this update is. Hope everything's alright with Sakurai.

 

[theprodigy]

But they are in a way; it removes incentive to buy a Wii U

what incentive
the amount of people that would pick up a Wii U for smash is not nearly as high as you think

 

[one_kill]

It's gonna be big! LET'S GET HYPE!!!

 

[Benzychenz]

Yep, I'm definitely going with Sakurai forgetting and going home.

 

[Nintendoga]

Huh?

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

what incentive
the amount of people that would pick up a Wii U for smash is not nearly as high as you think

And how high do you think that I think it is?

My point is Smash is one of the few shots the Wii U has had not being a colossal failure, and not having Smash be exclusive to it is not doing it any favors. There's no reason that both need to be developed simultaneously.

 

[tonyh24613]

Yep, I'm definitely going with Sakurai forgetting and going home.

I think i'm gonna go with this, too. D:

 

[Jacobbles]

I don't buy him forgetting. He's posted one every day for months. When you have something like that every single work day, you don't just forget. Especially if you're Sakurai.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Sakurai just gave up.

 

[casiopao]

The legend?

 

[Benzychenz]

Sakurai just gave up.

Pic of the day: Fuck this shit, I give up.

 

[qq more]

sakurai ran out of ideas for "nothing" pics so he gave up and let you all suffer

then what you think is too high
you really think doing that would make up for lost 3DS sales?

 

[Zalman]

I don't buy him forgetting. He's posted one every day for months. When you have something like that every single work day, you don't just forget. Especially if you're Sakurai.

Even if he did forget, the others would probably remind him.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Todays pic is almost as boring as every other one we have got.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

then what you think is too high

As I said, there's no reason for them to be developed simultaneously. They wouldn't be lost, just deferred.

And I'm not entirely convinced handheld Smash will do nearly as well as you think it will. It's a game, more than most, that's built for the living room.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Come on, guys. Seriously? There's no way he just forgot...

 

[BGBW]

Huh?

+Yeah!

 

[Dimitri LH]

Pic of the day: Fuck this shit, I give up.

Why did that make me laugh so hard?

 

[Jaeger]

Just joking, but I WISH.

 

[kirblar]

Is there anything anniversary/release wise that's special about today?

deferring the 3DS version would obviously hurt its sales, yes
and if the 3DS version doesn't do well, then really they're even more screwed

 

[Dimitri LH]

Sakurai...its going to be 5 AM soon. I need my beauty sleep....you do not want to see me lacking sleep.

Youuu..... Youuuuu Titannnnnnnn.

My heart skipped a beat. I want Mewtwo back in more than most things in life.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Maybe we get a megaton Mini-Nintendo-Direct just for Smash...or it's: When the hero of hyrule has fallen, Alfonzo will join in!

 

[BGBW]

200 minutes late to celebrate the big two double oh.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

I don't think that's necessarily true--no more than handheld Mario Karts cannibalize console ones by being on a delayed schedule. And even if it were, I think it'd be worth the hit to increase the Wii U's userbase by however much

200th post and 3DS' third birthday in Japan.

 

[CriterionDog]

The legend?

I want Rayman in so badly... : (
I was hoping that he would make an appearance due to Rayman Legends being exclusive to the Wii U, but then the game was delayed and moved to like every platform.

 

[The_Intruder]

200th post and 3DS' third birthday in Japan.

Aya brea announced in smash?

 

[Nintendoga]

200th post and 3DS' third birthday in Japan.

Mii's confirmed!?
Another Streetpass stage daily pic confirmed!?
3DS version pic confirmed!?

So many things to confirm, so little time.

 

[BGBW]

Sakurai knows there's a really good pun to be made with today's comment, but just can't get the right words out.

 

[Loco4Coco]

I expect DP tomorrow night.

All the third party characters so far have been Japanese, so...

 

[tonyh24613]

Pic of the day. Now consecutive standard attacks will always transition into a finishing move. This is Fox's finishing kick after his standard combo attack.

 

[Nintendoga]

Edit: Fuck.

 

[casiopao]

There is always the first time.^_^

Banjo for Smashhhhhhhh.
