This is super awesome. I'm a sucker for having artwork in as high res as possible, so I'm really loving this.

Thank you so much for sharing!

I wish it had full resolution images of all those other bonus shots on the official site, such as the Online Mode and Smash Run sections.

This is pure tease.


I must ask why 1920x1080 Wii U version shots are so taboo for us to see for Nintendo. Instead, we get watermarked images at resolutions of 688×387 on the official Smash Brothers website, and 800x450 on Miiverse. The exception is images at the daily.jpg url on the front page, which is still stupidly resized down to 864x486. You just know there's possibly hundreds of the highest quality screens hidden from us behind the screens. Some images have been available at 1920x1080 as far back as last August when Luigi was revealed.

You guys were probably expecting more security, weren't you? ;)

Are we even supposed to access this? lol

Anyway, this looks amazing, but look at the size of those .zip files!

Here's an imgur album with the Smash art that was in the zip.

It includes box art and character art. The character art here is in much higher resolution than the versions on the actual Smash Bros site are. Make sure you click the gear icon on each image for the "view full resolution" option!

The zip also came with a version of the box artwork that didn't have the casing, but that refused to upload for whatever reason. Sorry about that!

I also made an album on imgur, but I got it to upload that one piece of art. It was giving me pains to upload too, which was strange. I also included some pics you missed.

Perhaps Miiverse just can't handle the awesomeness of the .png image format, which is quite sad when Miiverse is your only way to upload your own Wii U screenshots. Interestingly, you can easily take high quality Wii screenshots all by yourself with the Dolphin Emulator.

Thank you! That's really helpful.
no problem. I managed to upload that one pic by changing it from a png to a jpg, so it may not be as high quality as the original.


Also, that shot of mario in edit mode is really interesting. Improved meteor smash? Crits? powershields that explode?

crazy

You can actually see the leather detail on Mario's shoes lol. Nintendo should've released this, the detail is sooo beautiful it's needs to be admired.

Turns out they use the same username and password every year.
Ya just gotta change the password depending on what year it is.
E32011,E32012, etc...
so I guess its not as big of a secret as I thought. Damn these images are beautiful though. Someone tell ZeldaUniverse.net about these hd pics of the new Zelda game. They'll flip their sh#@ over this.

This link makes my browser crash. I guess I'm not allowed to see the High Res pics :(
That's odd, I just tried accessing it from my work computer, not logged int imgur (I uploaded it from home) and it works fine. I have to assume it's something on your end causing the problem, the link worked for everyone else on this thread (I assume)

My browser crashed too, as a matter of fact.

Well, it might be the fact that it's a bunch of high resolution pics all trying to be loaded at once. Maybe it's too much for your browsers.

Which browsers are you guys using? (I've accessed it successfully in both chrome and firefox)

For anyone concerned, I'm fairly certain it's not illegal to guess, or to be leaked and then use a password in a non-harrassingly to download admittedly copyrighted, but exclusively advertising files from a site meant for that very purpose, just for the press. Nintendo would have simply needed to change the password, as it stands now we're not authorized to view them images, but we're not breaking any laws, and if Nintendo really wanted us out, they'd probably change the password. I mean, this same thing happened last E3.

The Starfox pics are somewhat bland, sadly. There is the one pic of Miyamoto playing it, the logo, and then screenshots of Starfox 64 and the original one.
Nintendo says they're still looking for a development partner for Star Fox U so I'm not surprised. I imagine some people figured it was further in development.

Sorry, I'm not sure how I can help then. I'd have to know more/probably be there to diagnose that problem better. It's ironic because I'm currently at work in an IT department (albeit for different purposes)
Yeah I'm using Chrome as well. It might be my computer if anything but I managed to download the .zip file anyways. It's all good.
