Yeah but you could equally say the Wii numbers were high due to the insane number of Wii's sold. Wii U don't have that luxury.

the Wii U sure wishes it was at a 2:3 ratio vs the 3DS

But the DS outsold the Wii by over 50 Million,MKW still outsold MKDS by over 13 Million even though install base was smaller and MKDS was better.
Lucina would be so good. Sadly we'll probably get Chrom instead.
My dream roster. No new Pokemon came to mind.

I don't think you get just how badly the Wii U is doing. A lot of the people who bought MKWii bought it because they already had a Wii. They won't suddenly sell systems with SSB.

I was going for Chrom but the Fire Emblem reps would be so... uniform eugh. Three blue-haired, sword wielding males. Booooorrrringggg.
I would be down for that. But I'd still prefer a female FE rep.

Stupid Wii u and it's stupid price making Smash sell less than it deserves
I hope Nintendo drop the Wii u price to 150$ or 200$ at least when Smash releases.
I'm already getting it, too many good games to skip it.

Why not both? Maybe there would be a customization option so you can give him/her any type of weapon or magic.
I explained this a million times, that price would royally screw over 3DS sales, unless Nintendo losers the price of the 3DSes, too.
$250 is the most plausible price drop target right now.
There is already a great thread for discussing which version of Smash Bros. you intend to buy, and its related implications.
Use that instead, please. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=746761

I guess I can consider myself lucky because I will be one of the small majority that will experience Smash 4 in glorious Full HD at 60 FPS on my HDTV.
Well... you at least got 3D and portability going for you.

I could realistically see Lucina as a alternate costume for Marth in the same sense as Daisy/Peach and WFT

Oh... go on
Oh don't worry, "horrid" is just my nickname for anything I disagree with.
Your roster lacks abominations, which is where I'd really judge you.

I'm. Actually, I'm excited to give all veterans a try.

Extremely.
I never touched him in Brawl cause he was just too ugly, his redesign is so damn good.

Samus better have some stopping power this time round. Would like her to become my main again.
I am and he's not my main. I really enjoyed playing as Bowser in Brawl.

I love the Mario universe so I try to learn those characters (Mario is my main, Luigi and Pit subs). Been fooling around with Bowser in Brawl and love his power. And the fact that he looks faster in this one gets me all kinds of excited. I want to add him and Mega Man to my playable list.
*raises hand*
I'm gonna mess with all the characters, but the ones I'm most excited to try are Megaman, Rosalina, and Little Mac.

The Wii U's price has absolutely nothing to do with how it's selling. It's not selling because no one wants it.
If Sakurai is really giving every character a sense of power and dangerousness - some serious oomph - I will definitely be excited to play. However, having followed the dojo religiously before buying Brawl, I'm definitely going to wait to hear first impressions, especially as it comes to netcode.
That being said, this game is one more reason I'm going to eventually fold and get a Wii U. In a couple of years my daughter will be old enough to play video games with me - I think Nintendo still offers the best system for that kind of play.

Yeah me and my 5 year old loving playing Brawl and Mario Kart. She's already excited to try Rosalina in the new Smash game.
Then the only question remains... are they gonna comeback?
I wish for Snorlax to be more big it's always fun to throw your friends at the Pokemon LOL
I got hyped again, what do you guys do while waiting for more videos /information?

It's still selling few thousands every week, I'm pretty sure it would sell better if it's cheaper.

I would play Smash but I'm at University and can't! (Don't have my Wii here). I guess I could... try Playstation All-Stars...

But why doesn't anyone want it? It has quite a lot of really good games; some of the best I've played in years. It isn't that expensive either.
The tech is eight years old, the tablet controller is an unwieldy gimmick, and the name is confusing and awful.
I love Nintendo, obviously -- I think any of us obsessed with Smash Bros. does -- but the Wii U is completely and entirely unappealing. There's no saving it.

I want to make a fake roster. D:

Where the heck do you all got those GIFs?
Also don't, it isn't worth it, I buyed the game on release only to be dissapointed... (also bear in mind that I got the game fully understanding that it would not be like Smash)
Maybe because most people say that "they're waiting for the better games"
Many people don't accept that some Nintendo games have the magic of old times or are easily swayed by other people to buy the Ps4 or Xbox One "because it's the best"
Sadly I saw this a lot in my group of friends, while they most have the new generation consoles already they go to my house almost every weekend to play Wii U games...
I think that mainly Nintendo news a big ass advertising campaign or well who knows?!
They appeal to existing nintendo fans. They don't appeal to a lot of other types of gamers. The audience that bought a Wii for the sports/fit has moved on almost entirely. The audience that plays COD or other shooters is on next gen or PC (or still on ps3/xbox). Different people have different tastes, and it appears that not that many like the games that are already on the system. Or maybe 1-2 appeal to them, but 1-2 isn't enough to drop 300 bucks on.
I want to play killer instinct, for example, but i'm not dropping 500 bucks for an xbox one.

Anything will sell a little bit better if you make it cheaper, but that won't target the core issues. It'd be like putting a bandaid on a severed limb. They need a paradigm shift, and that won't come from anything but amazing new software and radically different marketing. And even then, it's not looking good. They can't afford a price drop anyway with how much the system is costing them to produce, a price drop plus only marginal sales increases net an overall loss in income.
I can only speculate, and even then I'm not entirely sure. Terrible marketing blunders, ranging from making the system look identical to the original Wii to naming the system something that doesn't clearly identify it as an actual new machine. A steady decrease in interest towards Nintendo's core franchises that was offset on the Wii only by the presence of a massive casual fanbase that has since moved its attention to mobile phone gaming. A launch featuring no system-selling titles. Scorn by dudebro gamers who don't see value in a "weak" machine, but mostly who don't see value in a Nintendo machine period. There's a lot to look at here. But price really doesn't seem to be the issue, when you consider that the first pricedrop did very little, and that $350 just isn't a huge amount for a new machine. The everyday consumer does not equate tech power with dollar value in a console the way the hardcore internet does, no one is thinking "this isn't worth the money." They're thinking either "this isn't worth any money" or "what is a Wii U?"
I was really hoping today's picture would be revealing Mewtwo as a pokeball Pokemon. The meltdown on Miiverse would have been glorious.
Wow, Gaf is the last place I ever thought I'd see a gif of Mark.

it wouldn't provide nearly enough to "save it", and instead Nintendo would eat massive losses for....nothing really
if you want 8th gen stuff, you can get a PS4 for only $100 more
if you want 7th gen stuff, you can get a 360/PS3 for a far cheaper price
maybe without the gamepad, it could be $200 by now, but as of now many of Nintendo's biggest titles aren't even on the system yet, not to mention the audience for Nintendo first party has been shrinking anyway (literally every console from NES to Wii U, with the exception of the Wii, sold less than its predecessor)
My dream roster. No new Pokemon came to mind.
How did you get that boss older Ike icon? I can't find it anywhere in this thing. :lol
On the inside, I'm dying a little because I hd to drop the Isa/Katchi love. At the same time, something is better than nothing and Sin & Punishment is awesome enough that it should get something.
In before we get an Isa Katchi AT team up.
This is honestly my only beef with Chrom at current. It's big enough however that I feel bad when I see everyone asking for him and I'm internally going "please no" like a jerk. Robin's better and probably the most likely after Chrom but something's not there for me to really be invested in him/her. I back Anna because she has the senority, would make a nice contrast to the current FE lords and their personalities and she could also play up her apparent knowledge of all things FE in her move set.
That and I really really really want someone with a coin flip projectile. I blame Johnny in Guilty Gear for that.
I'm curious as to what entails an abomination ranking. :lol
I want to say yes, but man I am so ready for new Pit (I blame learning the new Wings of Icarus stuff from Project M) and potentially new Samus. That's not counting other characters who could essentially become brand new in this game (Ganondorf pls).
Nope. I'm not a fan of most of the pikachu-ish types.

Since people are posting their wish list. Here is my wishy washy roster, along with my friends' characters that they desire to see.
The roster isn't final tho since I kept changing my minds with few characters, but I will eventually change them when we get more characters announcements.

"Isn't that expensive" is a subjective view. For a console $300 isn't what I'd call "Isn't that expensive" when for $100 more, you can get a better console in terms of specs and 3rd party support. And for a secondary console, $300 is still a lot to shell out for what some view as a handful of games. If the price was closer to $200 it'd be easier for more people to bite the bullet and buy it for those handful of games
You could replace dedenne with a toaster in that shot. I like his attack, especially if it rotates or sparks out randomly. Reminds me of smash 64 pokemon style attacks.

Alright roster, but I'd rather have a new FE character than Roy.
