That's it Snake fans.. wrap it up.. He's not coming back... the specific call out to him and his codecs was a means of explaining that he's been cut so now Sakurai can continue his bias with more KI:U crap sprinkled throughout the game.. Mentioning Snake is just kicking us while we're down... and before anyone says but why would they mention Snake? I say to you that Sakurai lives on the tears of fanboys

He played us like a damn fiddle

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I dunno if I did it right

Looks like they reused the background from the Mega Man reveal.

 

[munchie64]

Hey Smash Tour is actually that "new character for each stock" mode I wanted.

 

[kuroneko0509]

The soundtrack bit didn't specify, but my guess is B/W since that's popular.

ahh ok

 

[MrSaturn99]

N64 Congo Jungle is back

Spoiler

I have no idea why bring back THAT and not Hyrule Castle, Dreamland or Saffron City, which are all infinitely more popular

Yeah seriously LOL. By far and away the most boring stage from the original.

Magnificent.

Hopefully they do a better job with Cynthia's remix than they did for Vs. Reshiram and Zekrom though. I preferred the original mix of that one by a large margin.

It wasn't the best arrangement, but they included Dragonspiral Tower/Celestial Tower into it so I was good.

 

[J@hranimo]

THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Dies*

 

[Mockingbird]

Fiora!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Axass]

It's also the same as the Greninja trailer.

 

[Ahnez]

It's also the same as the Greninja trailer.

That place should be released as a DLC stage

Spoiler

 

[Axass]

Mario's Castle was much worse. Congo Jungle is great.

 

[Hatchtag]

Neither of the stage select screens have Pac-Land on it. There's almost definitely gonna be a (very, very small number) more stages.

 

[Caladrius]

Didn't notice that before. Huh.

The castle is my favorite stage from that game, actually.

Plus DLC

 

[Moonlight]

oh man what about a pit vs pit palutena conversation

what would that even be

 

[BY2K]

Looks like they reused the background from the Mega Man reveal.

The Mega Man, Charizard/Greninja and Bowser Jr reveals seems to take place at the same location.

 

[Not75Drops]

Wasn't it in the 8 player Smash portion? There were a bunch of stages darkened out but there was one I couldn't recognize before Windy Hill.

Also, I wonder why they didn't show the Duck Hunt Trailer?

 

[Caladrius]

oh man what about a pit vs pit palutena conversation

what would that even be

Palutena just makes fun of Pit non-stop and claims she's directing it at the other Pit.

 

[The Captain]

Every character cut have a chance to be back now..

But not Ice Climbers..

Spoiler

WHY

I give zero shits about Mewtwo, other than the fact that unique characters can still come back after being cut. I'll see you in a few years, Ice Climbers.

Have to say, my hype for Mewtwo is a bit underwhelming...
Mainly because "Spring 2015" is so-far off. I sort of hate long-term DLC, because I always sort of fall behind when it comes out and never get around to picking it up because another game has me pre-occupied.

Absolutely. I'm not going to be playing Smash as much when he's out.

Yes. He's updated it since. I especially love that last line:

Perfect. Today, we are all Mewtwos.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

We could probably speculate the entire time between now and the American release on Kid Icarus codecs alone.

 

[Hatchtag]

Plus DLC

I'm almost certain that Mewtwo will come with a stage if there's not a secret Pokemon one. There's no way Pokemon's gonna have one stage in the Wii U version, at least not after DLC.

 

[Volotaire]

What are the chances that they will announce more content for the Wii U version before it releases besides potential DLC characters or stages? I can't keep up with Smash threads so I don't know if there are certain rumours that are true or etc.

 

[Golnei]

oh man what about a pit vs pit palutena conversation

Something to do with the Chaos Vortex copies...? Or maybe they should just re-use the Dark Pit conversation - who'd notice?

 

[Kinsei]

Unfortunately it seems to be pretty low. The most we'll get is most likely just more in depth looks at everything that was announced tonight.

 

[Hatchtag]

Wasn't it in the 8 player Smash portion? There were a bunch of stages darkened out but there was one I couldn't recognize between Wily Castle and Windy Hill.

Also, I wonder why they didn't show the Duck Hunt Trailer?

I checked and didn't see it. And I'm guessing to leave room for some more announcements/another direct.

I honestly have doubts that Mewtwo will be the sole DLC released in Spring. At minimum, he's coming with a stage. A character takes a lot of time, I understand that. But I don't see it taking 4 (Wii U min, release in March)/6-6/8 (3DS Max, release in May) months and releasing by itself.

There's both the DHD trailer and opening to show off. The opening I can see being left unrevealed. The DHD trailer is going to be shown off though. You don't make that much CGI for almost solely promotional purposes and just leave it on the disc.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Something about all the Pits. Pit, Dark Pit, Shadow Pits, now Pit Pit

 

[MrSaturn99]

ahh ok

Watched it again, it actually DOES say it's the B/W one. Team Flare theme is there as well.

I want to hear the DCKR Vocal one!

 

[Axass]

Didn't notice that before. Huh.



The castle is my favorite stage from that game, actually.

List time:

Last place - Peach's Castle

Not so hot - Mushroom Kingdom, Planet Zebes

Good - Yoshi's Island, Congo Jungle

Great - Dream Land, Saffron City

Amazing - Hyrule Castle

Holy Mother of God - Sector Z

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Since MK8 and Wooly World are getting a stage, I'm sort of expecting 3DWorld, Wind Waker HD and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze to get ones too.

Maybe Bowser World, an HD do-over of the Pirate Ship and a snow level set on DK Island to compensate for no IC level?

CLEARLY THE DHD TRAILER LEADS INTO DIXIE SAVING DIDDY KONG

WHAT

MEGATON

Isn't this the first retro stage making an appearance in Smash 4 that wasn't in Brawl?

If they don't bring back more N64 and Melee stages via DLC so help me

 

[Not75Drops]

I checked and didn't see it. And I'm guessing to leave room for some more announcements/another direct. .

Yeah I edited my post to say before Windy Hill. I still can't make it out but I can't see Pokemon only getting 1 stage.

 

[Pancakes]

So many new features, holy crap. Come Nov 21st, goodbye 3DS.

urgh team flare... wish they would put bw2 team plasma instead :\

Wow....I was hyped BEFORE watching the direct but they are making the game so much better. This game is going to be THE game of the year it seems.

[OricWindstar]

With this picture in mind, I guess Wuhu Island is a travel stage.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Guys Stonecarving City track means there's a Wario Land stage right?
RIGHT?

Spoiler

what a weird track to use in Gamer lol

 

[ColossalLazy]

Edit: nvm

 

[The Captain]

I was pretty hyped before the Direct, but tried to squash the hopes in order to not be disappointed.

This was better than anything I could've thought of. I'm so happy with the results.

 

[Kinsei]

With this picture in mind, I guess Wuhu Island is a travel stage.

Ugh. Why they haven't gotten rid of these damn things now that we have travel stages like Delfino Plaza is beyond me.

 

[Hatchtag]

lmao the dream is dead guys

I don't think that'll specifically happen, but it's still weird to me that they casually mentioned the Snake codecs like they don't involve a cut character or anything.

With this picture in mind, I guess Wuhu Island is a travel stage.

why. just why. we have a wuhu island travel stage already >.>

[balladofwindfishes]

Snake's name drop in the video was so strange. Why not compare it to the Star Fox conversations instead of bringing up a cut third party character.

 

[Okrag]

With this picture in mind, I guess Wuhu Island is a travel stage.

The Stage Select Icon for it shows a platform floating high above the island like Delfino Plaza, so yeah it probably is.

Well, Duck Hunt was first released in the same year Phantom Pain was set...

Spoiler

It's never happening.

 

[Ricky 7]

Did anyone save the edited individual screen shots from the direct? Some were pretty funny.

 

[Rayis]

They should have shown the Duck Hunt trailer instead of the Bowser Jr. one because by the end of the direct we had seen plenty of Bowser Jr footage but none of Duck Hunt so the surprise was ruined.

Spoiler

Though the surprise had been ruined since the ESRB leak

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Guess the Menu is a stage now

It was like that Brawl too. Guess it got remade.
