"Balloon Pokémon"

Yeah good stuff jiggly

 

[OricWindstar]

Jigglypuff: Puff Stuff

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Ah, that makes sense.

Jigglypuff, the Balloon Pokémon, has joined the battle![/code]

I swear, if Jiggs' title is "Balloon Pokemon", I'm going to flip a table.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Booring, damn sakurai failing to start the hype train. I just realized the direct is 50 "must see things" up until now I thought it was "50 new things" oh boy I'm a little worried now. Watch us end up with mostly item, menu and trophy talk.

Nintendo did say "new" originally

 

[Fandangox]

Mario - The Great Gonzales

I wont accept anything else for Mario.

 

[Golnei]

"MD in hand" as a title would be...odd.

 

[PKGaming]

That's really neat, I love the detail. The Boxing Ring (FD version at least) is looking like the perfect stage for serious 1 on 1 fights just based on cosmetics.

 

[kuroneko0509]

>Lucina, hero from a doomed future, has joined the battle!
oh ok :|

 

[Loco4Coco]

"MD in hand" as a title would be...odd.

What's so odd?

 

[Dr. Buni]

Duck Hunt, the old-school hunting crew, has joined the battle!

Nice to see they refer to the character as a crew

 

[Richie]

>Lucina, hero from a doomed future, has joined the battle!
oh ok :|

Lol, reminds me of how bleak some trophies were in previous games, Marth's comes to mind.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Dark Pit's will be "Pit in Black." Ugh, or something generic like "The Dark Angel."

Dark Pit's will be "Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V"

 

[Kyzon]

Dark Pit's will be "Pit in Black." Ugh, or something generic like "The Dark Angel."

Probably "The Canonical Clone"

 

[Boss Doggie]

A lot of those sound a mouthful

And some are terrible, LOL Balloon Pokemon

 

[Richie]

Probably "The Canonical Clone"

But but Spainkiller's leak...

 

[GAMERG0D]

Huh, a boxing ring pic right as I finish Cinderella Man. That title for Samus is a little weird I think. 'Extraordinaire'

 

[Hello.]

I swear, if Jiggs' title is "Balloon Pokemon", I'm going to flip a table.

Better get that table ready then.

 

[Vermillion]

Pit: The One and Only!

Dark Pit: The One and--- Oh.

Dark Pit's will be "Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V"

lmao

 

[Shun]

Marth, Sister Complex Kingpin of Steel.

Quite accurate to what kind of character Marth is in his respective Fire Emblem games. Terrible sister complex and with an entire cast fawning over him.

You could say he's the Narukami Yu of Fire Emblem.

 

[BGBW]

Yoshi - The Egg-ceptional Egg-ecutioneur

 

[WiiRevolution1]

This must be a hint that either Dixie Kong or Ridley will be announced tomorrow!

Or it's just tournament mode

SPAINKILLER CONFIRMED REAL!

Man...i didn't think there would be any differences between 3DS & WiiU shared stages. Please Metal Face, pls don't be a boss.

Yo seriously, Spainkiller leak is real. Basically confirmed at this point. I bet another 200 coin Club Nintendo game for reals. Who wants to bet? Do you dare throw away your coins? (100% serious on this bet. Going asleep now but if you take on the bet, and Spainkiller characters are confirmed, you'll owe me a CN game worth 200 coins and vice-versa. All 4 characters have to be confirmed playable for me to win, and proper characters and not some "playable boss" mode, but it can be in anyway, DLC, connecting versions, etc.)

Spoiler

I 100% think we will get DLC tomorrow announced, but it'll probably be someone noone guessed. I will put my coins on the line for SpainKiller tho!

 

[Fandangox]

Probably "The Canonical Clone"

Dark Pit - Soldier of Fortune

Spoiler

;-;

 

[Kyzon]

But but Spainkiller's leak...

Please don't kill my vibe

 

[Boss Doggie]

We're gonna spend the rest of the day making up titles until the Direct comes out huh

 

[AdanVC]

Let's not forget the greatest resource for naming characters in Smash

 

[solomon]

Nintendo did say "new" originally

Yeah im here thinking isnt that what they said. The only thing I want is a lobby online system, please samurai if you give me that *and ridley* you can talk about items and menus all you want.

 

[The_Intruder]

Pic of the day. The giant screen in the Boxing Ring stage for Wii U reenacts the multiscreen effect seen in the arcade version of Punch-Out!! Looks like their aliases are displayed on the screen too.

By the way, today, October 23rd at 3 PM PST (October 23rd 11 PM UK time, October 24th 9 AM Sydney Time, we are streaming "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza" (“Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50 Must-See Things”). You can watch the stream from the links below when it starts.
For Americas: http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/10-23-2014/
For Europe: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html
For Oceania: http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendodirect

So Ridley and Dixie will be announced in this direct right?

 

[BGBW]

Would have been cool if they made Pucnh-Out styled graphics for everyone. Also odd they chose to use Samus rather than Mac for this PotD.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Mario - Mario Mario
Luigi - Green Mario
Toon Link - Haters gonna hate

Spoiler

cel-shaded

Dr. Mario - TAKE YOUR VITAMINS!

 

[StreetsAhead]

Tomorrow's presentation will have 50 things. There are 48 characters, 2 of which we already have aliases for. I predict 1-46 of tomorrow's presentation will be Iwata reading the aliases off a list, one by one. I predict that the last four will be:

47. Metal Face is a stage boss on Pyrosphere.
48. Flying Man will appear on every stage in the Wii U version.
49. Little Mac has been nerfed, but only in the Wii U version.
50. Ridley will appear on the title screen as a static image. Other M design.

 

[BGBW]

Toon Link - Celda

 

[Dr. Buni]

I can't help but see DK vs Samus in the PotD as a nod to the two franchises Retro Studios worked on the most.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Maybe it-s a hint that Retro is working on the new Punch-Out.

 

[Sleight of Jam]

Joey from friends. Holy shit lol!

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I really hope Captain Falcon's alias just says "Punched Chrom off the Roster".

 

[BGBW]

Maybe it-s a hint that Retro is working on the new Punch-Out.

Would hope not. Next Level Games deserves the chance to make a sequel.

 

[Boss Doggie]

guys you're missing the secret message

Donkey Kong x Metroid game by Retro

 

[Zalman]

You mean by Next Level Games.

Because, you know, Punch-Out and stuff.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Maybe it-s a hint that Retro is working on the new Punch-Out.

The Punch Out!! Wii dev did such a great job, though. It would be a shame if they didn't get to make a new Punch Out in the future.

 

[Golnei]

What's so odd?

It doesn't really fit as a descriptive phrase compared to the other characters' titles, and while it works fine on his "joins the battle" line, it'd look really weird displayed on the screen next to his name.

Would hope not. Next Level Games deserves the chance to make a sequel.

But they're already working on the next Kid Icarus game with Treasure.

 

[ffdgh]

guys you're missing the secret message

It f***ing cranky kong!

 

[KLatin Scelus]

It is kind of suspect that both Samus and DK are the focus here, but I doubt it's anything.

 

[Neo Dark]

So much hype. Kind of odd they're doing the direct tomorrow though. Wonder what Friday's special POTD will be.

 

[Masked Man]

What an awesome feature for the Punch-Out stage! I love it <3

Dark Pit's will be "Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V"

Reila pls

Spoiler

lmfao

 

[Mik317]

So much hype. Kind of odd they're doing the direct tomorrow though. Wonder what Friday's special POTD will be.

If/when Ridley is revealed as a stage hazard...I could expect a salt in the wound pic on Friday to really make souls burn slow.

 

[Ahnez]

Nice details

Awwww yeeeaaahhh

 

[BGBW]

Something that was shown in the Direct most likely seeing as the Direct comes before the next PotD.

Or maybe there will be a new PotD straight away and we won't get one tomorrow at the usual time. It has happened before.

 

[Pompadour]

The Punch Out!! Wii dev did such a great job, though. It would be a shame if they didn't get to make a new Punch Out in the future.

Punch-Out!! for Wii was an amazing game but it faces two big problems: 1) it apparently sold like shit and 2) Punch-Out!! isn't easy sequel material. For a sequel you either have to create an all-new lineup of characters (which Disco Kid, the sole original fighter, wasn't that great and there's only a few great leftovers) or change up the gameplay in some way that would probably ruin the beautiful simplicity of Punch-Out!!

I'd still like a sequel with Dragon Chan, Narcis Prince, Masked Muscle, the Bruiser Brothers, and maybe some of the weirdos from Arm Wrestling like Frank Jr. I was really hoping that Bald Bull's Title Defense fight would have been Mask X, at least.

I'd love another Punch Out, it's my favorite NES game and I love the Wii version. I think they should release it as a budget title though, at 40 dollars or less. I didn't actually buy the newest version til it was 20 bucks.
