In this week's Project M Art Tuesday, the PMDT revealed a new ferociously cute alternate costume for the Ice Climbers. This time, Nana and Popo do their best polar bear impression. Without further ado, it's my pleasure to introduce the Bear Climbers!

So cute, I can't bear to look!

Ice cold.

Nana looks so cheerful in her new faux.

This design possibly drew inspiration from the Polar Bear enemy in the Ice Climber video game, and it's another beautiful addition to this packed new version of Project M. How excited are you guys? Who else do you think deserves an alt?

Here's the link to more pictures of the Bear Climbers!

KhanYe is officially on Netplay with an N64 controller. Follow me on Twitter @rbdayman for a good time.

Too bad they aren't in SSB4. I still love this alt though.
'First, regarding the roster, Sakurai mentioned that even though many characters are included, there are some who worry about those who didn’t make the cut. He specifically addresses the absence of the Ice Climbers as well. It seems they were running in the Wii U version, but due to the required hardware power, the team couldn’t make them work in the 3DS game. There wasn’t as high a priority given to series that are unlikely to have another installment at this time.'

So many mixed emotions, considering they're cut from Smash 4. :laugh:

Though, as a nitpick (haha, Ice Climber enemy pun), the game itself is called Ice Climber, not Ice Climbers. It's kinda like a Jabberwock/Jabberwocky scenario.

So do they hunt bears now? Or are do have they gone training in the Russian mountains with Zangief? You see that's why they aren't in Smash 4 they left to train, by the time Smash 5 comes out they'll be adults, Popo is gonna be buff and Nana is going to mean business.

It make me happy to see Ice Climbers in their alternate outfits for Project M, but it made me sad that Ice Climbers got cut from Smash 4...

Wow, what a quinky-dink! I was just talking about how Ice Climbers should be the next retro joke character for Smash 5, and then this came along! :joyful:

At least they tried to include the climbers. Stupid 3ds...
I bet the new 3DS would probably have enough power to include them. They could make the Ice Climbers a new 3DS exclusive, which is something already happening in general. Like Xenoblade Chronicles.

Right. I doubt it will happen though. Here's to hoping for Sma5h.

Edit: Who knows, maybe the Project M team will be able to hack the Wii U version and make them available for their Sm4sh mod.

So THAT'S what they've been doing with all of those polar bears... And I thought hammering those seals was bad...
