The deepest lore.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Still can't believe there's no Eggplant Wizard in the game. Not even in Smash Run iirc.
That Eggplant dude from Wrecking Crew would actually be a cool DLC character though, since you could have him represent all the Eggplant Nintendo shit.

Not even a random trophy, either. There's an Eggplant Pit trophy, but no Eggplant Wizard trophy.

"The Smash Bros. series doesn't always stay true to scale."
This isn't the first time a space animal has been resized to fit into a vehicle.
Probably the most iconic enemy from the original game, and we don't get to see him in at all. Considering how many models for Smash Run were reused (and how many trophies were direct asset rips), it seems odd to ignore the Eggplant Wizard completely.
Maybe he's in the Wii U version as an Assist (or at least a trophy)?

Pic of the day. This is the Orbital Gate stage. This is a Wii U version-exclusive stage reenacting Team Star Fox's defense of the Orbital Gate from an Aparoid missile attack.
Missiles are launched towards the Orbital Gate! The force field shields the machinery for a while, and the missiles eventually get shot down by team Star Fox. Overall, this stage feels like a ride. It's pretty hectic, so hold on tight!
The Arwings are passing through the gate! And the fighters hop on for a free ride!!
They couldn't even get in; look at the "neck" of the ship? Great Fox? More like "So-So Fox."
I'm surprised it's not a trophy, but I guess they'd have to model everyone as an Eggplant with legs for Smash Run, so I can see why he's gone.
And Waluigi's special pitch in Mario Superstar Baseball was Eggplant-themed... just saying.

The characters look "to-scale" when on the Arwings, but then are huge when on the Great Fox

Waluigi for Eggplant rep?
You know what's up.

There is only one true eggplant rep.

The next game Eggplant Wizard is going to be included to piss off Ridley fans.
We'd probably get Viridi, Medusa, or Hades before Eggplant Wizard.
I'm not sure that the 3DS version's development has negatively impacted the Wii U version in any ways that aren't related to roster or specific character mechanics (it's debatable whether transformations were a good thing to begin with, even).
It seems apparent that the Wii U version enjoyed the lion's share of attention in development, and any aspect that the home console hardware can manage over the handheld is being implemented accordingly: multiple Pokemon, fluid Assist Trophies, more ambitious stages, and additional hazards (whether that last one is viewed positively is another matter), for example. I'm hopeful that we'll start to see this idea pan out in the next few months. I'm fairly confident we'll see a more robust set of modes and bonuses on Wii U (and maybe, gasp, an intro).

Wait a second guys - who said there could only be one eggplant rep? There's four more slots left on the roster, so clearly we have room for the Eggplant DLC Pack:
We can all agree that this is the best course of action for DLC.

Damn, this is too dark. Pit is never coming back, is he?

Haha yesterday i streetpass one guy from campus and I added "Ridley" then just now he replied me back "too big" he understood the joke.
You know you'll have to reply with an inappropriate pervy reply now.
Every day that goes by without a release date I worry more and more that the Wii-U version won't be out this year. I know there have been several leaked dates but to me if Nintendo knew when the game would be 100% ready to ship they would want to make the date known asap, especially considering they need this game to help console sales.
They're in an awkward position to where they don't want to derail the 3DS hype by revealing the Wii U date too soon. Smash U won't get delayed to next year, as the fate of the Amiibo figures & the Wii U itself depend on Smash U. The game's release date was changed from Winter 2014 to Holiday 2014 to prevent these fears.

With the leaks on the supposed date and still no word from Nintendo all i can think of is this.

The release date has been removed due to technical limitations on the 3DS.
My favorite is slightly changing the pronounciation of "Pokemon Trainer". lol

I really wish Paluetena's Temple was smaller. A lot of its components look really great but it's just too damn big.
I'm not so sure - I'd definitely think that would be the case if it were a Smash Run track, but as it's tied to Jungle Japes, it might be more of a sign that we're not getting a Returns stage.
Rösti;132465686 said:Some basic trivia:
Villager has a different name in every language, but it's just the translated version of it, so it means villager or inhabitant etc. Duck Hunt (Duo) not included here.
Also, Marth is called марс (Mars) in Russian.
Fucking Glurak.
Also, Mars sounds like it should have been the correct translation initially.

It's the Ridley of stages.
Don't... don't say that...
We haven't seen a new Donkey Kong stage yet, would they really completely ignore the Donkey Kong series?...
oh god Rumble Falls is going to fill in for the series isn't it?

I find it equally strange that we are missing Pandora as well.
I mean, I figured she would at least get a trophy since she's a major boss in the series. It's even more shocking that Amazon Pandora is absent, considering all of the "fan-service" these games have been delivering. Hopefully she appears as a boss in the Wii U version.
The Rumble Falls / 75m combo being summoned from the deep is the worst possible scenario, but I think it's more than possible that the one new DK stage we receive isn't Returns-based - perhaps it'll be a Barrel Blast scrolling stage instead. Don't forget that Samus has three (!) palettes based on Retro spinoffs; giving their games any more representation would upset the natural order. It makes much more sense to focus on mainline installments like Barrel Blast and Other M.
A Factory DK stage would be absolutely sublime. There are so many DK locations and setting tropes that are perfect Smash stage candidates yet it feels like we're always getting jungle settings for DK stages (barring 75m based on the original arcade game). I want to see them branch out with DK stages for once.

Just put 50$ in my eShop account, in case the payment servers go down like they did for the Midnight Pokemon X/Y launch.
I love that most games are 40 or 60 dollars, but eShop cards only seem to come in 35 and 50 dollar varieties?
Pretty sneaky, Sis.

I thought we agreed we would leave the fanfic writing to the professionals.

I liked the idea of 75M, but it should been a stage that moves onto each different M stages (25-100). Rumble Falls is unreedemable to me though. All you did was go up. I cannot see how to make it better.
