I said wow
*raises hand*
That music needs a proper stage on which to thrive!
YES. The Anna trophy alone is fabulous, but I'm also pulling for a Henry trophy. <3

Also having Smash Bros on a handheld is a several year long dream of mine finally coming true so I'm happy it exists anyways

This impressed the hell out of me back when it was first posted, and it still does. This absolutely nails Mega Man's Smash Bros. style. Man, I wish this was real.
Bass is cool and all, but he wouldn't work as a Mega Man alt for the same reason X, MegaMan.EXE, Trigger, etc. wouldn't: he's quite a bit taller than Mega Man and has considerably different abilities. On the other hand, Proto Man and Mega Man are pretty much the same size and generally share similar abilities (or similar enough that they could work interchangeably in Smash) depending on the game.
Yeah, this (and the general lack of customization options compared to previous Smash titles) is my single biggest beef with the 3DS version, which I think is pretty fucking amazing otherwise.
I've always generally enjoyed items (mostly; I turn a few off) and the vast majority of my thousands of hours spent across 64, Melee, and Brawl has been with items on. I think it's a real shame with Smash 3DS, too, because the item lineup is the best it's ever been but they just appear too damn often at the default/only setting. It's so frequent that it feels like Mario Kart Wii at times, which is *never* a good thing.
It's gotten to the point where I play with only Smash Balls on, just because they already appear quite a bit less often than every other item. I really hope an item frequency setting is patched into the 3DS version down the road, and I refuse to even think about the possibility that the Wii U version won't include one.
That said, a buddy of mine showed me last night that playing with only Smash Balls, Food, Maxim Tomatoes, and S Flags on can make for a ridiculously fun, hilarious time...
If only... No matter what tonight's update is, I'm expecting the next stage revealed to be the Great Cave Offensive one, though.

As in "Heathcliff"
We should know in couple of weeks. They gotta to give 3DS version a time to sell.

Yeah, that's a given. I'm almost certain the caption on the Facebook picture is the one that we'll get as well, as the caption for the Orbital Gate picture was the one we got there.
Hopefully that means we'll get a 2nd pic explaining it more as well; I really want to see how this stage works!

The Facebook page accidentally leaked a picture of a Great Cave Offensive stage:
There was plenty killing the Tower of Smash leak, but since they mentioned 3 Kirby stages and missed the GCO stage, people officially consider it to be fully and completely dead and in the ground now.
110% agreed.

Bowser is amazing now.
Knowing your track record, you've doomed us to a PoTD that shows a Murasame Castle stage...That's a straight fusion of 100m, New Pork City and Rumble Falls at the same time. :lol
For the record I'll take anything that props my boy up and allows more music from the game. It's really one of Kondo's overlooked bests.

I hadn't been paying attention to the site after the release. When did they add the secrets page? Man, those Wii U screenshots look nice.

Pic of the day. For the first time ever in the Super Smash Bros. series, you can play with a collection of real-life trophies in the form of amiibo. Simply touch them on this part of the GamePad. This particular screen is dedicated to activating amiibo, but you can also tap your amiibo on the GamePad at the character-selection screen to let that character join the battle.
Once you do, the trophy of your amiibo character transforms into a Figure Player (FP)!! FPs fight and develop on their own.

I found that one hilarious.

I don't think so, it's information kind of already knew.
Which makes this another filler update.
We've never actually seen anything related to Amiibos in the game though. This is our first look.

Err, it's a menu pic.
If we get another Melee-type intro with the quality of character reveal trailers we've gotten,
oh my goodness that would be greatness.

I'm genuinely just happy to see the game in HD again.
...I'm gonna rewatch a direct or something.
oh dear lord you're givin' me the vapors

Bring on the Wii U menu pics!
Anybody else kind of weirded out by a menu in the game having what appears to be an actual photo? The Amiibo and box feel so weird actually being in the game and not an advertisement.
Not dissing Amiibo (I'm excited), just on including an actual photo.

It does feel kind of weird. The only photos in Smash Bros. should be of Sakurai's cat.
Speaking of which, I wonder where he's hidden them this time...

Sakurai said on Twitter that that's a staff member's cat, not his.
Teriaaaaa!

My whole life has been one big lie....
If they could do it on weaker hardware I doubt it really is a limitation of the 3DS system.
It's the processor. Mobile processors are held back by battery tech.

But the game isn't running on Smash 64's engine

Hah, I wonder if Mrs. Sakurai also designed the menu back then (they married right after Brawl, did they even know each other back then?). It looks so desolate when compared to later installments, and if you guys remember the music, it almost emits an ambiance of despair.
Hell, the All Clear song was quite sad, if not downright creepy. Early Installment Weirdness effect at full force.
She did 64's menus as well, apparently also contributing to the stage design for that and Melee. Kind of makes me wish she'd assist with the current game's stages...

No.
Oh god no.
The 3DS's hardware has nothing to do with the cut of any customization options. Those were 100% design decisions, not cut by restraints.

I wonder if the Amiibo menu is the blue icon above the 3DS icon on the Wii U menu or if it's a sub-menu.
I assume the 3DS version will also get an update soon for Amiibo? It might have it already but I haven't checked.
You have no evidence of this.
You will get something from a +10 year old DK game and you will like it.

Wow yeah. That and the menu music are super creepy listening back on them.
There's even less evidence to say it is a 3DS power problem when it was possible on weaker hardware.
