HE IS ENTERTAINER!
Because asking why 2 weeks (4 weeks if we include Japan) after the release of the 3DS version we are still getting screens of essentially menus in the 3DS version is wrong right?
What exactly is the point of 3DS menu pics let alone 3DS pics now when the game is out and has been shown inside and out on the internet already for the last few weeks. The lead up being 3DS focused is understandable since that was the version releasing first but its release has come and gone. Heck i'd take WiiU menu pics at this point if it means actually seeing more of the WiiU version and maybe even learning more about it.

The 3DS filler will never end.
Pic of the day. Now here's a challenge Find Stalfos!! (Difficulty Level 3) This is a close-up of a specific area in the Trophy Hoard, but the search will be more challenging if you zoom out. You can change the alignment of these trophies by holding down a direction on the +Control Pad while you're entering Trophy Hoard.
Its next to the octorok...I think. My eyes hurt now.
That was fake? I should have known since that was from 4chan and nowhere else.

Sakurai says a lot of things. He essentially "mains" every character as a developer of Smash Bros.

Come on Samurai, i need more of the Wii U version...
wtf, how many shy-guy trophies are there?
One for each color, for whatever reason.

I would totes re-main Ganon if this were true.
Didn't you hear? Zero Suit Samus is based on his wife, because he wishes she had... Er nevermind.
I started adding "lfos" onto the end of any Zelda enemy I didn't know the name of. I called the Wizzrobes "Wizalfos" for a while.
I see two red ones. Big on middle left, and small one far right.
I gotta say, even on days when we get pretty boring pics, I much prefer the structure of POTD + Newcomer trailers than the Dojo. I'll always be able to rewatch the trailers because they're so awesome, and the POTD is a nice little side piece that doesn't usually give away every single piece of information about the game like the Dojo did.
I think the one on the right is a Mario Kart version.

I said wow
Yeah, the scary thing is that all that speculation gets spread around and then taken as "obvious fact." :/ My guess is that such an article doesn't exist in the first place.
I don't think most are expecting he said it. Rather, since he plays Ganondorf in the only video we had of him playing at the time, it was assumed. But thanks for the clarification, that's interesting to know. Did he say anything at all in the video that was interesting, or just basic reactions to the match?
But in a recent interview, he gets asked about his favorite characters, and makes a point to say that he plays everyone. Sounds like he's worried about what people might infer if he actually names his favorite character(s).
Nah, he was just basically reacting to the match and paying (empty) compliments to the girl playing with him.
Also, interesting that he gave such a diplomatic answer to what ought be a really simple question. Then again, I'm sure he spends so much time with the game and the characters that he probably feels a certain level of attachment (or loathing lol) toward all of them.
Yeah, seeing people spreading misinformation like this frustrates me for a number of reasons, one of which being the fact that people will continue to believe and discuss this garbage for years to come: "Hey, what about that article...?"
One of them is a Mario Kart trophy.

You can never have too many Shyguy Trophies, they should take up the majority of the Yoshi series trophies with variations and gimmicks alone.
That being if Yoshi ever actually got much in the way of trophies.

The thing is that all of them except for one (so far in my game) are in the Mario section. I mean what the fuck, Yoshi and Shyguys appear in Mario games but they are from games completely different. Pisses me off so much.
Nintendo treating Yoshi as a Mario character is just wrong. His games are completely different. Why you do this Sakurai? This is your biggest offence as a fan of the Yoshi games.
Yes, preach brother/sister!
Yoshis placement on the roster is the biggest offense this game has committed to me (provided the Wii u gets a good deal of good single player content and such). He was fine where he was!

IIRC he plays Pac-Man in the E3 Nintendo round-table. The maining ganondorf rumor was based on him playing it once, guys. He plays everyone.

Yoshi is a Mario character in a way that Donkey Kong and Wario aren't. He still makes regular appearances in mainline Mario games. Yoshi games, for the most part, don't have their own set of enemies, using established Mario ones (and Bowser remains the main villain). The original Yoshi's Island, while it did give birth to the Yoshi series as a whole, is still considered to be a mainline Mario game by the Mario creators and mainline Mario pulls mechanics from it and references it regularly. The Yoshi series isn't completely distinct from the Mario series like Donkey Kong Country and Wario Ware are.
Yoshi is his own thing, yes, that's why he gets his own symbol, but he's still very much a part of the main Mario series.

No, his games are different, and enemies are different too, you hardly ever see Shy Guys in a mainline game and theres so many other enemies uniqe to Yoshi. Yoshi appears in Mario games, even mainline Mario games, but he is not a Mario character. I don't care what anyone says. Yoshi's Island 1/2/3, Yoshi's Story, Wooly World, etc are all Yoshi games. The Yoshi games are very distinct from Mario games. I can't believe anyone is even arguing over this lol. Its like calling Kid Icarus a Metroid game just because Metroids appear in them, its not, Kid Icarus and Metroid are completely different games.

If you watch that Ganondorf video, he plays really badly. I'm sure it was more of a tongue-in-cheek thing than anything hinting at his favorite character.

Well if you don't care what anyone says, then there's no further discussion to be had.

One for each of the types in Smash Run (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow), one for Mario Kart since they drive down Rainbow Road, and a Fly Guy from Yoshi's Island.
The 4 different colored Shy Guys also drop different stat boosts, and have their own trophy descriptions.
It's about as "lazy" as having green/red koopas or other enemies that have multiple variations.
Man, I just found a youtube channel with Nintendo/Rap mash-ups... This stuff is hilarious.

I honestly would not be upset if Sakurai put Yoshi back into the Mario series.
I still want to see a stage with Nep-enut, and a Pach.E.Derm AT though.

This is surprisingly good. The voices are mostly great. Sonic's is especially on point.

The latest issue of GameInformer arrived. Sakurai is doing a column in each issue for a few months, starting with this one. It's pretty cool to see.
Some guy and his friend made a crappy fake pic and sent it to someone else on KnowYourMeme as a legit leak. It was pretty bad and full of mistakes but he kept on insisting it was real. Apparently the "leaker" was getting rather annoyed by all the negative feedback, but what really pushed them over the edge apparently was when a fake image I made was sent to them proving that anyone can make a fake image. Cue a massive meltdown.

Why would you even make a fake over such an absurd character choice anyway...

Something something tears shed about Duck Hunt.
Sakurai once again confirms via GameInformer that Ice Climbers worked on Wii U, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get Ice Climbers to work without using a ton of machine power, so they dropped them. It's a shame, but I've (mostly) gotten over it.

Well that kills the common belief that Gamefreak controls the Pokemon that get in with an iron hand.
That's amazing 0_o

To me, Lucario is like Diddy, Zelda and Villager. They just kind of are in the game, but most of the time I forget they exist and they're not generally in my radar for use.
Except Lucario makes easy work of Clasic lvl 9. So good for him.
Well his pokemon movie is one of the best, tho it might be mostly because of Mew xP

I swear there was an interview with Sakurai earlier in Smash 4's development, like around E3 2013, when he mentioned The Pokemon Company DID have a strong role in influencing his choices.
I mean, all the Pokemon (even Jigglypuff at a time) are big, main-character mascots. I really wonder if, say, Sakurai asked for Jynx, would they let him?

honestly, if the Pokemon company was really as tight with Pokemon as we originally assumed, I don't think Jigglypuff would still be around.
Also think about how loose they were with adding Pichu on short notice and making him a joke character.
A tight leash company (like Sega for example) wouldn't keep around an old mascot that's since been replaced or allowed one of their characters to be a last minute joke addition.
Jiggly really is the odd Pokemon out though. The others are all huge mascots used in marketing and all over the place. Jigglypuff hasn't been used in any capacity in like a decade. She's quickly adopting Captain Falcon and Ness's secret to longevity, in being more famous for Smash than their own series.
