Pic of the day. These two are a haunting pair. You can only attack Gastly using items, but the Ghost has a perfect guard and reflects your attacks. When you see a Ghost, make sure you use your grab. If you're playing with Diddy Kong, his Monkey Flip should work, too.

Big announcement about future PotD's

Announcement: Originally, the pic of the day was only supposed to continue for about two months, but I've ended up posting pictures until even today. The 3DS version has already been released in Japan, so I would like to talk about how future posts will be handled. First, I will not talk about hidden features until the game is released overseas. On the other hand, I definitely will talk about them after the game is released abroad. In addition, I am planning to continue making posts at least until the Wii U version is released. I haven't decided if I'll go by the Japanese version release or the release of versions abroad, but the point is that I'll continue posting for a little bit longer. Pic of the day won't focus on introducing new information anymore in the near future, but I hope to entertain you with interesting and funny photos like I originally intended to. Thanks.

Today's pic confirmed 2spooky...
...wait a sec..
YOU'RE NOT SWIFT FOX

 

[Radical Bones]

Silver... Era?

That's not Swift Fox or Speed. Why do they all start with S though?

Anyway, I know it's a SR pic, but it has two of my favourite enemies in it <3

 

[KawaiiPiranha]

You gotta wonder when he's going to start switching over to Wii U pics.
I mean, the 3DS version has 34 stages in it, and the Wii U version only has 20 stages confirmed as of right now. He's gotta show off another stage eventually right?

 

[gamer8]

Well, at least it was early.

These two were an absolute pain in the ass to kill in the Best Buy Demo.

That announcement was bound to come sooner or later. At least we know now rather than finding out the hard way.

 

[Evello]

I'm preparing myself for 3 weeks of Luigi's nose.

Joking aside, I'm totally cool with the Pics of the Day being laid back until the NA/PAL release of SSB3DS. I'm already spoiled more than I originally intended to ever be, so not getting things spoiled further is all fine with me. And I'm sure Sakurai will still find a way to entertain. Some of his pictures have been pretty amusing, and will be even more so now that the anticipation of new info has died down.

LONG MAY LUIGI'S NOSE BE ROUND

 

[spiderfreak1011]

OK, so i guess no new Wii U info for a while. Oh well. :\ Gee, i wonder how he's gonna bring up Ness or anything Mother related not being mentioned up until now, andt he inclusion of Dark Pit and Dr. Mario. Probably he'll just dodge those questions because he knows the fanbase is feeling conflicted with him right now.

 

[shrooby]

"I hope to entertain you with interesting and funny photos like I originally intended to."

I am ready for Luigi's nose!

 

[ミスティック Speed]

I'm really ok with today's announcement. Sakurai actually gave us a heads up that the next few pics aren't going to be AS hype-worthy until the international release. For once, some good words from the man himself.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

So PotDs confirmed for future suckage I guess. Oh, and different release dates for the Wii U version too.

VERY surprised to hear it wasn't something they were planning on carrying forward initially, after having hosted something like the Brawl Dojo they needed to have something similarly, expectations were high for the pre-release period after all.

-Sakurai

Okay, awesome update, we're going to get mainly funny pics and occasionally a new Wii U stage or mode. Sounds good to me. Aww, Sakurai. I dunno, this makes me want to hug him, it's kinda like he doesn't wanna say good-bye. Adorable!

Also, Gastly only gets hit with items! I saw some streams confused about Gastly so this is pretty interesting.

No new characters until 2 weeks

I guess we are getting a character trailer the midnight release of Smash 3DS in America then...the rest of the countries get it October 3rd too correct?

This very well could be a possibility.

 

[Mythra]

Welp. no #WarioWeverydayoftheweekHD hype until October.
I liked today's pic because is an useful tip to beat enemies, so I hope we get more on the following days (Or moar Luigi's nose), also Im glad Sakurai explained the future of the POTD, with the first game released "new" info is redundant, so Im in for funny pics again!

 

[Laambo]

What no new content until the US release? I guess this could be the end of pic of the day late night waiting game. Look foward to the release of the wii u pic of the days

 

[ToadsterOven]

*shrugs* I figured the potd's would be meh following the Japanese release of the 3DS version, but more so considering we know who is in the game and who is not at this point making any potd's about the hidden characters kind of a moot point from a hype viewpoint. Plus I figure any remaining details about the Wii U version will be saved for one more Nintendo direct (maybe next month's?) ala how a boatload of new info was saved for the April Direct

 

[Nintendotard]

This very well could be a possibility.

Duck Hunt or riot. Really, we only have 2 character trailer left if the clone being in a trailer with another person (Lucina with Robin) is a legit thing. Or if Dark Pit's trailer was very well Palutena's. Hm...

 

[Doc.Pringles]

I don't know what to think. On one hand, menus should be killed.

On the other, no new Wii U details.. I'm starting to worry whether Wii U version will really have that much additional or proprietary content..

 

[WIldBam]

Cool, we know now that if we want to sleep early then we won't be missing out on much. Honestly it's a good heads up.

 

[Kain6th]

how hyped would people be if october 3rds POTD was 'Smash Tower?"

This is kind of bittersweet. Pics of the day are about to end soon.

Edit: Close the damn [ collapse ] next time.

 

[Rosalina suporter]

I guess that means the updates wont be worth staying up for oh well the game will be out before you know it.

 

[TheDMonroeShow]

When he said near future I think he meant these next two weeks. I'm more then positive its going to have a few extra modes. I mean its already confirmed to have more music's and stages..so why wouldn't it?

 

[Hayzie]

I'm okay with this. He said no new information, which means we can get a plethora of Wii U pics with things we've never seen, just that we have no information to know what it is.

The guessing game is back. Hype still lives on!!

 

[Starbound]

It'd be pretty cool if we could still get trailers for Duck Hunt, Bowser Jr. and Dark Pit (and maybe Dr. Mario).

 

[KawaiiPiranha]

You know, I can see them doing another Smash Direct in a month or two focusing entirely on Wii U exclusive content. That'd be pretty cool.
It sounds like we won't be getting much information for a while though, but that's alright.

Nice icon m8

how hyped would people be if october 3rds POTD was 'Smash Tower?"

Could you imagine? The hype train would go into maximum overdrive !

 

[Radical Bones]

I'm surprised Sakurai doesn't just take the next few weeks off, until the game is out. He deserves a break anyway.

 

[Kain6th]

He should, but most people in Japan hardly take take time off

 

[roymustang1990-]

It's a reasonable announcement.We're already been spoiled by smash 3DS anyways,all in all,it just helps strengthen the curiosity of the wii u's exclusive content.

 

[Laambo]

So what this means is we can no longer rely on the pic of the day for hype or character reveals. I wonder how Japan feels about not seeing their unlockable charcters in hd.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

"Pic of the day won't focus on introducing new information anymore in the near future"

So in other words, there's literally no reason to look at these pics anymore until overseas release or until the Wii U version is out. Got it.

Now no one has to waste their time. Thanks for the heads up, Masta Hero Sack O'Rice. <3

 

[TheRealLegit StevenSeagal]

Damn it, i was hoping for duck hunt dog to be revealed soon, need to see him for wii u. Oh well.

 

[silvR1995]

Kind of a bittersweet update, this one. We're almost done with Pic of the Day, yet as that draws near, so do the releases of the 3DS version overseas, and the Wii U version anywhere.

I'll definitely continue to check back here for a laugh from my favorite game developer, that's for sure. But dammit, Sakurai, TAKE A BREAK!!!

Good lord, man, you deserve it!

 

[LunarDistortion]

This is a strange turn of events, it's sad to have the news end, but it had to happen eventually I guess.

Unless something big happens with one of the PotD's, I doubt I'll be coming back here for a long while. This was kinda another home for me, so it's sad to leave, but with nothing worth staying up until 4 AM like cool reveals, there is no point anymore.

See you guys later, we had a good run with this, and always remember the night of 8/13/2014, the night we waited and Meta Knight appeared.
