I'm a little worried that this game might be TOO good with TOO much content. How are other games going to compare? They can't....I can see the video game industry crashing after the release of smash because it's mere existence cannibalizes all sales of games. What a sad time we live in.

 

[Golnei]

Ha-wa-wa?!?

Perhaps something in the vein of Grassland Groove? They have to bring back the "Donkey Kong~" lounge singers in any case.

 

[Benzychenz]

I am certain Ice Climbers will be in as DLC once they get sorted out on the 3DS.

 

[The Captain]

the amount of work put into ridley plus DLC being confirmed says no. Ridley will never end.

How though? In what way could he be both a playable character and a stage boss at the same time?

 

[Cse]

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

Hyrule Castle is probably my favorite Smash stage of all time. I would be ecstatic if it were ever brought back.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

ways sakurai trolled with ridley:
-confirmed with a stage hazard before his segment if you had a good eye (he's on pyrosphere's stage select icon
-confirmed him as a boss who has a fucking stock icon, final smash, and rolling backward animation (it's not a roll, it's the thing the other big characters do where they slide back)
-showed off his trophy at the same time they showed mewtwo's trophy, AND HE GOT CONFIRMED AS A BOSS LATER

Wait, he has a Final Smash? Was that Meta Ridley?


That's going to make Modders' jobs a whole lot easier.

How though? In what way could he be both a playable character and a stage boss at the same time?

There's a first for everything Cap.

I love how they put so much work into him, it shows that even Sakurai can care for his fans somewhat.

I'm almost certain he'll be playable in a sequel or DLC.

 

[Deadstar]

I am certain Ice Climbers will be in as DLC once they get sorted out on the 3DS.

They've shown that they will add features to the Wii U that aren't possible on 3ds. Leave the 3ds behind, I don't care. Give me ice climbers for Wii U!

 

[Azure J]

Hyrule Castle is probably my favorite Smash stage of all time. I would be ecstatic if it were ever brought back.

N64 Hyrule Castle and Sector Z would just make me swoon into a pile of mush. I have so many good memories of those stages. Saffron City as well but only if they could make the Pokemon appearances work the same way they did in that game. :lol

 

[Finale Fireworker]

So who is in camp "there are more stages that will be unlocked" and who is in camp "that's all the stages"?

It seems weird to me they would only make ONE Smash 64 stage.

Also I'm upset Pirate Ship is gone. I don't think you NEED swimming for that stage to work.

Pac-Land isn't on the starting roster of stages, so there's definitely some hidden ones.

 

[Hatchtag]

this is smash, anything could happen. It'd look no less silly than having two of the same characters on the same stage, stages where a playable character appears as an NPC, etc.

 

[Beelzebufo]

That video was like a roller coaster of good and awful. 75m? Seriously?

Worst part was the stage roster, but the best part was stage builder. Game board mode looks like it could be fun or not fun at all.

Also, there's your moving model of Ridley lol.

 

[Kinsei]

Wait, he has a Final Smash? Was that Meta Ridley?


That's going to make Modders' jobs a whole lot easier.

Hopefully they can actually make him Meta Ridley instead of Glowy Ridley.

 

[PadWarrior]

Yo N64 DK level is back???

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Didn't it also play during Palutena's reveal trailer?

Yeah, but it was sped up and cut up pretty badly. I'm glad we're getting the real thing in the game.

-showed off his trophy at the same time they showed mewtwo's trophy, AND HE GOT CONFIRMED AS A BOSS LATER
-topped it off with this little gem:

Yupp. I'd say this was worthy of it Sakurai. This was a worthy finale to the Ridley trolling, and you even left the door open

Spoiler

for crazy people

Spoiler

such as myself

with the amount of work put into him.

Dude, I'm pretty sure that's Reshiram. I don't think it's Ridley, in any case.

There's exactly a 0% chance that's all the stages. Pac-Land's not on there.

 

[theprodigy]

Viridi was giving Peach the shit that make souls burn slow with that kidnapped princess line. I'm SO ready for more dialogue. :lol

I know right, let's just come up with potential dialogue all the way until release day

 

[Kinsei]

Yeah, but it was sped up and cut up pretty badly. I'm glad we're getting the real thing in the game.



Dude, I'm pretty sure that's Reshiram. I don't think it's Ridley, in any case.

If that's Reshiram, where's the bulge? I think it's just supposed to be a generic dragon.

*uncomfortable sigh*

 

[OmegaSmash]

Omega mode misses the point so hard, and ruining all these stages just rubs in the salt. Seriously this downhill slide in stages makes me want Sakurai to hand over to someone that will just give us a hazard editor already.

Have you ever made a game?

 

[Golnei]

Hopefully they can actually make him Meta Ridley instead of Glowy Ridley.

SAKURAI: Towards the end of the match, however, there are some serious dramatic moments. As Sakamoto-san was watching one of these, where Ridley transformed into his Meta-Ridley form, he said 'why is Ridley made of metal?'

IWATA: He said that, even though it had been the specification from the very beginning! (laughs)

SAKURAI: Yes! (laughs) So I told him 'he's Meta-Ridley, that's why he's made of metal'. His response, however, was 'but it looks strange to have this metal person popping up during such a serious event'. It would then become an exchange along the lines of me saying 'But this is the specification!' and him responding 'No, no, definitely strange'.

 

[Beats]

So, I guess we can't transfer all of the custom stuff we unlocked in the 3DS version in one shot? I really hope this isn't the case...

 

[Hero Prinny]

yo in all seriousness tho, the ridley trolling was real. all that work and teasing was put in for a stage boss... like how do you tease a boss that was a boss in the previous game.

 

[tonyh24613]

What's this?

 

[MillionVolts]

Heh, the Japanese version of the Direct is narrated by Tomokazu Sugita -- Chrom's voice actor.

Also, the powered up version of Ridley in the Japanese version is called "Black Ridley"...

 

[The Bankslammer]

ugh fuck me, i know that i know where this music is from but i'm totally blanking

 

[Hatchtag]

That would make sense with what happens during the Other M boss fight. The parallel with Metal/Black Face is amusing, though.

Yep, so maybe there is hope for windwakers pirate ship level after all.. and while we are at it, throw in Rumble Falls as well!

pac mans stage aint there on the list

 

[jorgejjvr]

Want that Viriditi/palutena talk so bad

 

[Golnei]

Just like Pyrosphere's stage boss.

 

[OricWindstar]

Want that Viriditi/palutena talk so bad

I eagerly await the youtube compilation.

 

[Kjellson]

The Duck Hunt thingy is a mystery.

 

[Beelzebufo]

There aren't people seriously still expecting Ridley, right? He's clearly actually too big this time.

Also, I hope this means we still get Chours Kids and Dixie!

 

[Hatchtag]

needs to have the goat Hades appear too. I wanna hear him insult all the other fighters.

how can one expected Chorus Kids and Dixie because Mewtwo was revealed yet completely dismiss Ridley's chances? I mean, if you're gonna believe SpainKiller's source saw Ridley on the 3DS, might as well join us on the crazy

train.

 

[BeauRoger]

I love humanity, and i want everybody to bask in the glory of rumble falls.

 

[PadWarrior]

Hmm.. so I wonder what the unlock requirements for hidden characters will be on the U.

That name's unfortunate.



also rumble falls is god's punishment for living

Hades appears on the villains. Plz

I need to watch this!

So I can imagine it's being narrated by Gintoki.

 

[Kamek Koopa]

It's a shitty version of Mt. Lava Lava from Wario Land Shake It:

[Fiktion]

I can't tell you how happy I am that Palutena and Viridi will talk shit about fighters in Palutena's temple.

It's all I ever wanted, really.

You forgot the best part.

 

[theprodigy]

are you really asking if people will stop believing even when the evidence is right in their face?

You haven't been keeping up with the discussion have you...

Yes!

[WiiRevolution1]

So I can't be the only one who noticed they used brawl ridley art for the KO icon on the result screen right?

Yeah. I'm still calling it: Ridley is in as a full playable character, Spainkiller has true info.

Also just saw the KI conversations. So good.

Prime Ridley as DLC with real Meta Ridley as his FS
