Just in case, some of you folks are hiding in here.

If you have joined the Super Bash Sisters tournament, and will still be participating, would you please let me know. Trying to get everything ready by the 29th of this month, which is when it will begin.

It'll be starting soon! I'm pretty excited.

[IntelliHeath]

Then I stand by what I said. If the DLC flat out denies DLC, then he's deconfirmed. Otherwise, I'd say 6+months of nothing.

Mario kart was roughly 5 months before they announced dlc, no?

I thought it was 3 months?

 

[Richie]

So apparently Eminem has bought a Wii U for Smash Bros, after Destiny disappointed him.

I find this hilarious.

But DKJ isn't!

 

[georly]

Probably. Either way, it's nintendo's MO to make game, release game, wait, announce DLC.

There are some exceptions, and it's usually when they're developed by 3rd party (mario golf, hyrule warriors), so anything is possible for smash.

[MrSaturn99]

you know speaking of sonic music

What're the chances we'll get like three stage themes and then a shit-ton of vocal stuff like in Brawl?

 

[foxuzamaki]

I will seriously be at work during the smash direct and that pisses me off

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Sadly I feel Sonic will mainly have re-used music, and very few remixes...again.

Not that I mind since most of the music is decent, I just hope they expand a bit and we get some more obscure songs like Levitating Ruins from Secret Rings, and hopefully some Generation remixes.

Just treat it like a movie with spoilers. Avoid all internet. Have someone PM you the youtube link, and only look at your PMs and click the link.

Pic of the day. Here's what's happening behind the scenes in one of the secret fighter's shooting moves. The object being held is called an NES Zapper. This is an accessory which was released for the NES outside of Japan. Now, this image is edited, but it's a scene from the secret fighter's reveal video.

Wii U is last gen hardware confirmed.

To say you don't want ice climbers on Wii U because they also couldn't be on 3DS is along the lines of "If I can't have it, then nobody else can!" Yeah, it sucks for the people who are only using 3DS or primarily using 3DS, but that doesn't mean that Wii U people should have to suffer too. :/ It's such a shame.

I completely agree.

We have no clue. Iwata is still sick, so it will probably be Treehouse (Nate and Bill) or Sakurai. I hope it is Sakurai because he is pretty entertaining.

I totally forgot about Iwata's health. I guess that helps explain why it's been so long since the last Direct.

He's still sick? Where's your source on this?
It's been 5 months.

Iwata hosted that direct last month, I think he's back in action at this point.

 

[Okrag]

Iwata hosted the Direct that announced the New 3DS back in August.

 

[The Captain]

Which Direct? Wasn't the last one Hyrule Warriors?

Forgot about that. I guess he is back in action.

It was Japan only. That's where they announced the New 3DS and the Shulk trailer premiered.

I'm still speechless they didn't use GHZ's only remix on GHZ 3DS. Instead they gave us two music rips, one from an entirely unrelated Sonic game...

The music should have been Green Hill Zone and Angel Island Zone Remix. Or better yet, some kind of GHZ remix.

 

[The Bankslammer]

why the heck don't they just use preexisting remixes for the sonic music

between generations and the mario & sonic series, there's sooooo many good arrangements
i'm gonna be kinda peeved if there's a prevalence of original 16-bit tracks

 

[Moonlight]

RIP in peace if there's no Rooftop Run in SSB4

Yeah, you got a point there. I checked the date, and it's nearly 3 months between the release date and dlc announcement. It's possible that we would hear something during Feb 2015.

 

[Muzy72]

Game specific Directs are very rarely hosted by Iwata anyway. It's usually a key member of the development staff (Hashimoto and Kuroda for Bayonetta 2, Hayashi for Hyrule Warriors, Sakurai for Smash Bros, etc.).

Also, this isn't a Direct, it's the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50 Fact EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!

 

[Rösti]

Nothing special, just the majority of the secret characters mirrored:

Dark Pit is not included due to boring mirror. Duck Hunt not included as I couldn't find a file with transparent background on the official website, and I didn't wanna do a cutout.

Or maybe it'll be 3 months after the 3DS release?

All nintendo pre-recorded (but livestreamed) videos that have a host are, and always will be, a direct in my heart

One More Day!

Oh shit, I thought the direct was Friday!

I would've come in here like an idiot Friday morning yelling "Who's hype for the direct!?"

 

[TheSlySoul]

Iwata hosted the Direct that announced the New 3DS back in August.

Yeah, but if you notice he was sitting down during it. I am not sure he can stand for long periods of time yet.
Also, if you read up on it ... some people do not fully recover until a year later.

 

[The Captain]

Wario is Sonic confirmed.

Ness is also pretty funny.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Between this and the Zero Suit pic Ness is Really Feeling It lately.

 

[Dimmle]

Sonic stage will have one track it will be Sonic Boom you will like it

 

[Thorakai]

Sonic stage will have one track it will be Sonic Boom you will like it

i'mokwiththis.png

it has to have lyrics though

 

[The Bankslammer]

fuck sonic boom

get the real sonic cd op in here

 

[GAMERG0D]

Chemical Plant needs a song, hell even a stage.

 

[Lunar15]

Screen zooms out, Issac is holding the zapper

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Dreams of an Absolution is a must, guys.

I don't care if it is Silver's theme.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

fuck sonic boom

get the real sonic cd op in here

Ain't that gonna be like the recent release of Sonic CD where there's no lyrics for Toot Toot Sonic Warrior?

I need the lyrics.

 

[Dimmle]

fuck sonic boom

get the real sonic cd op in here

Is that the music featured in the mobile version?

 

[The Bankslammer]

Ain't that gonna be like the recent release of Sonic CD where there's no lyrics for Toot Toot Sonic Warrior?

I need the lyrics.

yeah the you can do anything lyric rights are in permanent legal limbo

but man what if they weren't
what if the tv show was called toot toot sonic warrior instead

also they added the countdown back in for the S&ASRT version so i guess they at least have that??

 

[SapphireZora]

Chemical Plant needs a song, hell even a stage.

Dreams of an Absolution is a must, guys.

You two are right on the money. Yes, please.
There's such a plethora of amazing Sonic music. Brawl's selection wasn't great (though I'm glad they had Emerald Hill and the Sonic Adventure/2 Crush 40 tracks). I'd like to hear City Escape, among other classic Genesis tracks. Generations had some solid music in it, so some of those could be ported over easily.

 

[Hatchtag]

City Escape should've been a stage. One of the most well-known Sonic stages and the first level in a Sonic game on a Nintendo console. Would've been awesome.

 

[Neoxon]

Chemical Plant needs a song, hell even a stage.

Dreams of an Absolution is a must, guys.

These, please. I'm also hoping for a Windy Hill remix, the Final Boss theme, & the Deadly Six Theme (w/ Violin) as far as Lost World music goes (again, Lost World...as far as the Wii U version goes....is actually alright). There's also a shit-ton from Generations that can be used.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

City Escape should've been a stage. One of the most well-known Sonic stages and the first level in a Sonic game on a Nintendo console. Would've been awesome.

I think the Sonic series would be perfect to have an airship stage.

"Send in the Egg Fleet!"

But I guess Pilotwings and Orbital Gate will have to do.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

It's a shame Sonic is represented in Smash with a stage that's from a recent game that wasn't that great and isn't iconic instead of a fitting and iconic stage. Chemical Plant, Casino Night, Angel Island, Lava Reef, Sky Sanctuary, Station Square, Emerald Coast, City Escape, ARK

There's so many more iconic and better choices

 

[OricWindstar]

Chemical Plant needs a song, hell even a stage.

I was legit surprised it wasn't the new Sonic stage; would have been amazing, but I actually think Windy Hill looks good.

 

[Dimmle]

Ooh, Sky Sanctuary music.

 

[TheChits]

Livin in the City somewhere in smash please

 

[The Bankslammer]

anything that's not a grassy sloped area or city would be lovely

but ha ha as if that's gonna happen
