Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - August 18th

[Smashboards]

Super Smash Bros. for WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. Nightmare Wizard appears as an Assist Trophy! He will engulf the stage in darkness, and fighters will need to brawl blindly for a while. Look out for the effect before it goes dark, and play it to your advantage. Blinding and reversal effects even make the computer players mess up."

This looks incredible!!! Although what he does is kinda lame

 

[Warchamp7]

so much nostalgia seeing that guy

 

[ThatGuyYouMightKnow]

Togepi used to do this randomly in Melee. It sucked then, it sucks now.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

Awesome to see this guy appear in Smash in some form.

 

[Drazile]

What game is he from? F Zero?

 

[Brickbuild101]

Ep! Ic! :O

 

[4nace]

Glad to hear they are making the AI respond to things like Blinding.

 

[LF2K]

Not gonna lie, I thought it was Wizeman from NiGHTS at first. Guess Sonic Team isn't getting the Namco treatment.

 

[Keefer]

The wizard looks awesome but the effect is lack luster compared to what he looks like. And im pretty sure we had a pokemon that already did that.

"IN THE DARKEST NIGHTMARE HOUR WHEN NOT MOON NOR SUN HAS RISEN

I TAKE KIRBY IN MY POWER, I SHALL KEEP HIM IN MY PRISON!!!"

But in all seriousness, pretty nice assist trophy

 

[Brickbuild101]

What game is he from? F Zero?

Kirby. :T

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

The Hype is real!!!

 

[NekuShikazu]

Nightmare in that Kirby anime was just awesome. Too bad I can't peek at other 3DS screens.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Awesome more kirby.Now bandanna dee or prince fluff

 

[Green_Pikmin*]

Now this explains miiverse after dark all in one picture

 

[Brickbuild101]

Can't wait to take epic snapshots of Wii Fit Trainer or Villager about to smite him. :3

 

[Phoenix502]

nice look... but that effect, HMM, where have we seen that before?

*sigh* I guess you can only come up with so much chaos before it gets predictable...

Nightmare: For about 12 years (11 years if you watched Kirby of the Stars in Japan), I've wanted to exact my revenge on that wretched pink pest, Kirby, and now, my moment of triumph has arrived!

 

[TylerBlackRunIt]

PARTY IN THE DARK!!!

 

[NATGamer]

This is my favorite assist trophy now (design wise that is). Nice to see Kirby getting more love.

 

[Coastward]

Meta Knight, Dedede and Kirby in one PotD?

Banana Dee confirmed.

 

[Deleted member]

NME Salesman: How can I help King DeDeDe?

DDD: I need a monster that can clobber that there kirby!

NME Salesman: That's what we do best in NME!

Escargoon: you better it with a money back guarantee!

 

[allison]

Sure, it's cool that CPUs are affected by interface screws. But the most wonderful thing in this pic is the world's most epic double chin.

 

[ShinyReshiram]

Nightmare gets a lot of love. And I like it.

 

[Ornstine]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS i always loved nightmare as a villian and always hoped he'd be in smash in some way as a boss stage hazard or assist trophy and im extremely happy that he is actually in cuz i always thought they would chose Kracko over nightmare (i would like to see kracko as an assist/hazard/enemy too tho) or that he wasnt that well known enough to be represented im glad were getting more kirby stuff i love the series hope theres more to come hoping for a stage reveal soon!

 

[proxibomb]

I always considered Nightmare a very colorful, cool, and neat character. I honestly wish he had a bigger part in the Kirby series, similar to how Zero and it's form have a large part in the series.

 

[LeeYawshee]

My favorite childhood villain. I hope his themeis in the game as well. Welcome to the Smash, Nightmare!

 

[Ultra*HappyCharge]

WHY THIS POTD PUTS A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE XD

fighters will need to brawl blindly for a while.

brawl

wow… smash 4 confirmed for brawl 2.0. truly sad, how things had to be this way :/

(in all seriousness, not a fan of the effect, but at least it's a cool-looking assist trophy)

I can't even explain how unbelievably flawed your logic is lol

you probably already got this, but in case you didn't, here's something to help you friend :~)

 

[Reila]

Pretty good, such a nostalig picture~ Nightmare looks great!

 

[Empyrean]

Nice to see Nightmare getting some long overdue love. Loved that ******.

 

[I Am Luigi]

About time we see something new for the Kirby series. Something retro despite the buttload of new Kirby games we've had since Brawl but beggars can't be choosers I guess.

 

[FumiQyn]

now thats awesome!!

 

[κomıc]

Oh no

 

[pupNapoleon]

I thought it was Vaati and my heart stopped for the disconfirmation.


PHEW!!

Only 19 POTD's left, guys

 

[smashkirby]

OH.......MY.......GAAAAWWWWDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!! NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sqa$]

That hefty cleft chin though.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Nightmare get's to be an Assist Trophy? Where the hell is the Star Rod when you need it? Oh wait ... it's an item already!

 

[Nietendodude]

2nd best assist trophy imo but just by a inch. Love it so much I really wish he did more.
