Does the difficulty of the computer players matter or is there any other factor? I managed to get 22 KO's by spamming the home-run bat against level 1 opponents, but still got only 38 coins.

I can confirm this. I started with 4285 coins, played a normal match and got 32 coins, then started a new match and immediately quit to gain 32 additional coins. Instead of gaining 64 coins, however, the end result was 4317, which is only a gain of 32. It appears that you will have to...

I agree. I was really hoping for something similar to Ness's victory theme from Melee. On the bright side, at least all of the new music that plays on the Magicant stage is fantastic.

I saw the picture on this thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/apparently-someone-has-a-full-copy-of-the-game.367098/ It appears that someone may have already acquired a copy of the full game.

Knowing Sakurai, if we ever got a rep from Rare it'd probably be this...

I agree with you (wasn't trying to argue your points - sorry if it sounded that way), and definitely agree that it appeals to Melee fans. It's definitely possible that Sakurai took that into consideration when deciding to add Dr. Mario to the roster.

While we don't know for sure why Dr. Mario was chosen to return to Smash Bros as a playable character, I would speculate that he got into the roster similarly to how Lucina did. Sakurai stated that "when two such similar characters function in an even slightly different manner, I give them a...

I agree, the Donkey Kong series definitely deserves more representation. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is one of the main selling points of the Wii U right now, and it wasn't too long ago when DKC Returns was released on both the Wii and 3DS. That alone is more than can be said for most...

For now on they should call the series "Nintendo Kart" and include content from a variety of Nintendo games (like Smash Bros). I wouldn't have any objections.

I'm really pleased with what I've heard so far for Mario Kart 8's addons packs. With the two packs combined there will be 16 new tracks, which is like increasing the content of the game by 50%. It really seems like an obvious decision business-wise, seeing that Mario Kart is a huge seller and...

This. While I'm not convinced that the kritter teasing necessarily means that K. Rool is in the game, we'll have to wait and see who these unlockable characters are before any conclusions are made.

These videos have me convinced that at least some of the leak is real. We'll have to wait and see when footage of Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, and Duck Hunt comes out, though at this point I'd be willing to bet that all of the images in the leak are legitimate. My only questions at this point are if...

Thanks! This may have been asked before, but after seeing that video clip so many times I've always wondered: What exactly is going on in this episode? Also, K. Rool needs to work on his singing... that voice is devastating enough to be his final smash.

I know it's getting a little close to release, but count me in. I've always been a huge fan of Rareware's games, including Donkey Kong Country and DK64. King K. Rool is definitely my most wanted character (at least without looking at third party options). While it is uncertain as to whether...

That last point you made is interesting. Clearly these pictures are not of the game on a physical 3DS because there is no separation between the screens (this can be seen really well on the last picture showing the stage selection menu). Something also seems off with the skewing and borders...
