New Famitsu pics!

[R0Y]

New pics in Famitsu (and some other Japanese magazine?)

Spoiler

Diddy's and possibly Little Mac's are new^

Spoiler

Sonic's, Olimar's, and Bowser's are new^

 

[Substitution]

Just curious.
Could anyone translate the text?

There could be info that isn't the the daily pics.

 

[Silvera]

Nice to see some new shots of the game.

 

[Big-Cat]

The Zelda one mentions the phantom knight and Sheik but that's all I can make out of it.

 

[Frostwraith]

The Zelda mentions the phantom knight but that's all I can make out of it.

It also says it's unknown if she can transform into Sheik. The text appears to be speculation.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

I wonder how they got these.

 

[Big-Cat]

So they know as much as we do then.

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

So here's another scan, this one showing the screenshot with the Wii Fit Trainer's Male variant... a caption is placed on it too. Does it reveal/hint at anything, confirm alt skins or is it just the usual coy Japanese marketing?

Spoiler

 

[Vintage Creep]

I just hope these are not pics which are going to be shown on the site from tomorrow.

 

[iam8bit]

I wonder if the magazine confirms that Giga Mac is Little Mac's FS. Not that it's not the most obvious assumption, but it hasn't been officially confirmed...

Also, this is a good sign, right? Usually these type of articles come out when a game at least has like a set date, don't they?

 

[MasterofMonster]

I just hope these are not pics which are going to be shown on the site from tomorrow.

I doubt that, no need to worry. ^^

I do wanna know what it says about the Male Fit Trainer, though.

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

I just hope these are not pics which are going to be shown on the site from tomorrow.

I'll just throw this out there, if what you said IS the case, it would prove that the "Pic of the Day" very well may be planned in advance contrary to what we believed before.

 

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

If its just mere speculation on the magazines part that would be a shame, nintendo could have at least given them something to work with upon the images they were given.

 

[iam8bit]

From what I can gather, it seems they're merely wondering if the Male WFT will be a character or not... but it's hard to make out some characters.

Also, I can't read Kanji for crap.

 

[Ta1nted_4ngel29]

I wish these Famitsu pics were more substantial, like showing off FSs, new items or even more skins than Male WFT. :/

 

[FalKoopa]

I just hope these are not pics which are going to be shown on the site from tomorrow.

Most of them are actually old PoTDs and screenshots from the videos so rest easy.

 

[SonicMario]

Not a whole lot that's new. Even in the newer screenshots. (Unless you wanted confirmation on if Diddy used the bananas for his down b)

This might renew the debate about the Phantom Knight though. Considering that if Phantom Knight is an assist trophy. It sticks out like a sore thumb because every other screenshot is the character doing one of their special or normal moves.

Hey, it's a start... My guess is that this means they'll start covering the game in print, so we may get some new stuff in the near future, now that the possibility is open.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Well, Male Fit Trainer is very obviously a alt skin for WFT, so nothing odd there in that case. ^^

But well, still nice to see new images. Just would like to see bigger versions of them. :/

 

[fogbadge]

i doubt theres any new info

 

[MasterofMonster]

i doubt theres any new info

Well, it confirmed that the Banana Peel really IS Diddy's Down Special, and it confirmed multiple moves for multiple characters. Those things vere extremely likely, but it's still new info. :3

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

i doubt theres any new info

Yeah, probably not. Just a couple new shots that may or may not be from trailers coupled with the usual coy Japanese marketing... where they see an interesting screenshot and scream something about it in the form of a question without really offering actual info. Ever see Pokemon Sunday? Those guys can fake enthusiasm really well.

well yeah just an official confirmation of things we had already figured out

i know that to well

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

We still don't know very much about the Final Smashes

 

[MasterofMonster]

well yeah just an official confirmation of things we had already figured out



i know that to well

True, but still Info we technically didn't know for this game, so it's good enough, imo. ^^ Still wanna know what the text says, exactly.

 

[Snagrio]

Not conclusive, but some have speculated that Dixie might have replaced Diddy's down b and the banana in the official website was randomly spawned. So at least we have that confirmed to not be possible.

 

[Substitution]

It also says it's unknown if she can transform into Sheik. The text appears to be speculation.

To be fair.
It could be vague for the sake of being vague.

 

[G-K]

The Zelda pics says she summons the Phantom to attack O.o...

...disregard that. It's merely speculation

really?

 

[TheSmasher916]

I'm curious about those QR codes.. And what it says under Giga Mac.

 

[Norm]

That shot of giga mac is new at the very least.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I THINK THIS CONFIRMS HOW LITTLE MAC'S POWER METER WORKS!!

 

[RelaxAlax]

I believe that kick Sonic is doing is a new - unless it's his up throw and i forget.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I think @MEWTWOMASTER2002 can translate these.

 

[Silvera]

His side throw.

 

[RelaxAlax]

His side throw.

Thanks

 

[kikaru]

In regards to the Zelda picture my roommate roughly translates the text, "Call a Phantom/Phantom is called." The term 'skill' appears in the text as a noun, a partial description of what the Phantom is doing, and "It is unknown whether you can transform to Sheik."

It's a very rough and incomplete translation due to some characters being hard to determine but this does not grant us any additional information we do not already know.

If Phantom is a new attack for Zelda then we must absolutely assume that the writers of this article know for a fact that this is a new skill, if anyone else can provide further information that would be appreciated.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Google Translate says that Little Mac "lacks the force of beam."

 

[Spazzy_D]

Hey, maybe Sakurai held back on a character this month so the famitsu article would be up to date when published?

Maybe, Famitsu is a big publication.
