I do wonder about the decision made in the debut trailer for smash, why only show 2 newcomers in the trailer?

Oh I agree
But the Mother franchise is the very last I'd burn down
I just think in terms of relevance Kid Icarus currently beats it handily. Which isn't saying much, but dammit, Hades needs to be in.
Too much work man, there's only so many amusing/cool looking poses they can do with 10 characters.
Pretty sure the franchise has been on a decline consistently. Each one sold worse than the last. SF Command sold terrible in Japan. SF643D only sold slightly better than it.

Dude. It's Star Fox Command.
Yes, I know. I seem to recall the GC titles not doing so hot in Japan either... but it has been a long time since I last saw the sales for them. So I may be wrong on that.
But they've definitely all sold worse than 64 for sure lol

Well, Command is the important one in this case. Assault did well enough for itself (at least, in America), but its quality was making buyers wary. I'm unsure of Command's true sales numbers, but I seem to remember reading that it underperformed (if not outright bombing), to the point that it has more or less been on the backburner ever since. Star Fox 64 3D was intended to be basically a last straw for the series.
I don't see how anyone could look at a series like that and not say it's seen better days, not even counting the game quality (which I would argue absolutely declined).
Mother probably doesn't deserve two, but the series was intentionally ended, I think it's okay as a sending off present.
Fire Emblem isn't a fair comparison at all. Fire Emblem has like three times as many titles with an ever changing cast of characters.
It's a general trend though, that's undeniable. What reason is there that Kid Icarus should get more than two other than you want it to have more than two?
Yeah, true point, that is. Man, I wish they'd just reveal some more so they'd have stuff to work with.
It'd be cool to have two a day to please each crowd.
Are the pics he uploads to Wii U true to the resolution?

Because Sakurai probably listened to the many complainers who felt knowing too many new comers before the games release made the over all experience less fulfilling.
I could care less. I'd be happy with know thing the whole roster now instead of waiting on pins and needles for my top guys and girl.

Sakurai probably didn't have their models ready to go.

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Kid Icarus could be a bigger franchise than Star Fox. But they should really avoid turning it into Star Icarus Punishment to achieve that.

Were you around for Dojo? It was a year of. "This is a Super Mushroom. It makes Mario grow very big. Kirby looks scared now. Ha ha! I hope you have lots of fun using this item in Super Smash Bros Brawl."
I think everyone retroactively remembers all the exciting days (OMG ITS SONIC FO REALZ) and not the endless "Food" "Yoshi" and "That stage you saw already in the trailer" updates. It was excruciating.
Without Sakurai I don't really want a sequel but;
1) Nintendo's are far from the worst hands to leave a franchise in
2) Hasn't Sakurai said he wouldn't do another SSB like a hundred times now? He can be "persuaded".
They jumped the gun and started this screenshot festival in order to appease the more diehard fans until the 2015 release.

When do you guys think we will get a new character revealed?
Naa, it'd be something you wouldn't like. ;3
Naa, it'd be something you wouldn't like. ;3
wow :lol
Nah, I never saw Dojo. What was so wrong with it? Was he updating new things too fast or showing the same stuff over and over?

Whenever Nintendo's big fall Nintendo Direct is is I think the most likely time.
There was an update every single weekday. Some of them were amazing, like newcomers and stuff, some of them were basic gameplay stuff that everyone with half a brain knew. It was amazing. New information every day (save for weekends) for nearly an entire year. I can't think of any other game hype machine that even came close.
"You Must Recover" still stands as probably the funniest non-update on the site.
September Direct

It was really good at advertising the game, and obviously so exciting to get new info, no matter how small, each day. But at 15 I was always expecting megatons, so always got burnt out. Then by the time Brawl launched I knew every mechanic, item, and stage.
New Pokemon character next. I'd bet on it, but I like Simon Pegg in his non-Animoe glory.

lol jesus
So they basically gave away too much too soon?
Now seems like a snail-crawl though. Not enough balance here.
A lot of Dojo updates were silly stuff that all Smash Bros fans have known by now. We're talking like "YOU MUST RECOVER" (update telling us that we can recover from being thrown off a cliff). It didn't bother me, tbh. I don't know why people expected Megaton daily. No game can manage to have 200+ megaton daily updates.
Although there was ONE stupid update I recall that actually bothered me and it was the "Widescreen" update. Like... really, Sakurai? :lol
Did your 15 year old self actually expected Megatons every day?! I was 16 and even I couldn't imagine a game having that much content to do that.. lol

1) If there is another sequel I hope they split the franchise in two if they use Uprising as a blueprint for the series. I want a traditional sequel to the originals not another re-imaging/sequel thingy. I am not trying to imply that Uprising is bad, I am just saying that it isn't the direction I would want the franchise to take.
2) Sakurai says a lot of things.

this actually sounds plausible, cause afterall he's mostly just been confirming veterans, which is good, especially when people are worried about who is coming back but I wasent around through the japan time brawl days but didnt he mostly reveal newcomers early on then vets? only vet I remember being confirmed after a drought was fox
lol cartoon poop is always funny when drawn like that, all swirly shaped
Sakuraiman is the hero we deserve but not the one we need right now...or something like that.

If he's upset by WFT, no idea how he's going to react to Mona from Nintendoland...

If you're curious about what we all went through, you can browse the updates in order here.
EDIT: The Dojo was amazing. So many memories.
EDIT: I had forgotten that they made us wait that long for the Meta Knight character profile update even though he was one of the first newcomers revealed.

correct, possibly september 9th as that was what it was last year
Hopefully when he challenges Reggie to a match at an E3 interview Reggie plays as WFT and wins.

Or, Reggie loses and in a red hot rage rips Keighley in two like a piece of toilet paper stuck to his meaty behind.
A day before Apple's September 10th event? Iwata selling the company to Apple confirmed.

If you look through the rainbow clouds created by the hundreds of strategically placed smoke balls, the identity of the Monster Hunter direct will reveal itself as a surprise Smash direct.

Don't say such things. D:
Yes, the activity in here is pretty great. ^^
So a possibility to be on Monday, pretty much soon. I really hope so, because i'm dying for so major info again.

The thing was we were so amazed at ZSS, Olimar, Pokemon Trainer, Ike, King Dedede, MetaKnight, Pit, and Wario that there was this universal idea that if this is the starting roster, then what new comers are they hiding?!
Lucario, ROB and Wolf as great as they are, each one caused a ship storm since the majority of the unlockables were veterans.
Besides all that, we are getting more information from this game compared to the same time period after Brawls debut. If you got through Brawl's dojo you'll get through this. I am loving these daily screen shots personally. I wake either super excited, super disappointed or somewhere in between. I like that.

It wasn't such a bad update, as Groudon was actually revealed the same day, but they way the updates list is set up splits them.
"You Must Recover" was the next day's update though. The most legendary of updates. Had a comic made of it but I can't find it anywhere anymore.
Nothing like flying crotch to the face.
A very consistent stream of coverage he did. I can see why it could of been an issue.
But SSB4's are too slow.
