Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - July 4th

[Smashboards]

Smash WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. Pac-Maze is a stage exclusive to the 3DS version, created in the Pac-Man motif. If you eat 100 Pac-Dots, Power Pellets will appear in your color."

He also included a second picture saying "If you eat a Power Pellet, the monsters will become vulnerable and you can defeat them just by touching them. An important point is that the monsters will become vulnerable only on your screen, which means that they can still damage your opponents!! This is one of the unique game features only possible in the 3DS version."

 

[im just peachy]

i don't want to fight on that ..

Wakka wakka you talking about? That stage seems cool

 

[Iron Angel]

I think the Wii U should have also gotten a Pac Man level.

 

[Keeshu]

Looks fun to play on. I just wonder how much the ghosts will interfere with the fights. I just kinda wish it looks a tad bit more like the original game so it'd be even more interesting. However, at least with the way they made it, at least it'll probably be more balanced this way.

One a side note, it seems the ghosts do not chase players around constantly.

I'm curious about those 2 small walls on the right side of the stage. Will some characters be able to camp from being over there in multiplayer? They aren't in any real danger of being knocked off as they can hit someone that is getting closer, and tech off the walls if they have been hit.

This stage... #Banned

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

Meh, i dont like these kinda stages. I play m once or twice, then leave m to die. Just like that elektroplankton stage for example

 

[Wasp]

i don't want to fight on that ..

Me neither

 

[im just peachy]

It did get a pac-man level sir !

 

[im just peachy]

x2

thanks lmao , there is WAY too much going on to concentrate on anything

 

[thebadlamp]

I really like how there are gameplay differences like this for the 3DS and Wii U versions.

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

I hope the most bull**** stages will come to 3ds. It is a much better system for casual play

 

[Iron Angel]

It did get a pac-man level sir !

Yeah, but I meant like a classic Pac Man level like the 3DS has. I wasn't even aware that that was a Pac Man level until tonight when I was searching for confirmed levels.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

At least it's the ghosts who turn blue and vulnerable and not other players.

 

[Drazile]

Pac-dots? That's the official name?

 

[Wasp]

I think most stages will have even more hazards and stuff going on to interfere with the fight than before. Since Final Destination has now a lot of alternate forms, there can be more trolling on the original stages. Not sure if I'm gonna like that.

Sakurai told us there would be stagebosses now and then in some stages, like Ridley on that metroid stage with the magma spewing out of the walls n stuff...

 

[Lucain]

I wouldn't fight on that unless I'm with family or something.

 

[GrapeEscape]

It would seem to me as though this was originally going to be a Wii U stage but was shifted to the 3DS so that Sakurai could implement the unique mechanic of something only occurring on one player's screen, which is only possible on the Wii U during online play. Either way this stage is shaping up to be really unique and probably one of my favorites. Though I do wonder what benefit eating ghosts actually offers besides points, which seems to be pointless like it was in 75m. Are they really that much of a threat that having the ability to get rid of them by eating them is a reward?

Finally! Info on the Maze stage! This stage looks interesting for light-hearted matches, but I probably won't use it for anything else. The invincibiity only showing on your screen is a very nice touch.

 

[SuperDS64]

This really adds a whole new level of "crazy". And truth be told, I found most of the other casual stages of past Smashs' a bit boring that had nothing going on other than wack'd design.

 

[Protom]

Well, this debunks that one 'leak' i think I saw once saying that this stage will be unlockable on wii u, and pac land can be unlocked on 3ds.

 

[ChikoLad]

Pac-dots? That's the official name?

Nope, Pac-Maze.

 

[KatKit]

I love how they showed Kirby, Pac-man, and Yoshi.... All three of them eat in some form lol. And all three have fruit in their games.

 

[im just peachy]

I love how they showed Kirby, Pac-man, and Yoshi.... All three of them eat in some form lol.

i didn't notice that before !

 

[JCDied4U]

I feel like the only stages that will be about fighting skill for the 3DS version will be FD and Battlefield. Every other stage feels somewhat gimmicky, which is fine, but the real Smash comes out at the end of the year for me.

 

[KatKit]

I consider them both the real deal. The irony is, if you include the FD variations, which is neat as far as changing backgrounds/music is concerned, the 3DS has far more "legal" stages than its Wii U counterpart. Needless to say, I like the 3DS's exclusive stages; they're very unique. Nothing wrong with variety.

 

[synesthe-sia]

It looks fun. **** all this "#BANNED" crap. I'm not particularly a pro player, but I'm also not a casual player. I can definitely see a few valid reasons why the casuals hate the tournament players. Not every stage has to be some variation of Battlefield.

Looks like a fun stage, can't wait to try it.

 

[DANICK]

I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IN THAT STAGE

 

[DANICK]

I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IN THAT STAGE

 

[Sqa$]

Good morning, Pac-Man Stage. I would like you to meet somebody I know, somebody you might get along with: 75m Stage. You two go chat it up now.

...

But seriously, I'll play it still, just not as much as some of the others.

 

[BigHairyFart]

I wonder if this will be like Baloon Fight where the characters warp from the side, since you could do that in Pac-Man.

 

[Stake]

Ok pokefloats, calm down.

 

[Gryffin]

So, what am I missing? On the site, there used to be a link to the Mii board where Sakurai added his notes on the image. Sometimes, the link didn't show up. But now, the link is never there. It says just "this game image was taken by Sakurai during development." Once upon a time, I had the direct link to the Mii board, but I've lost it. If you don't have that link, how are you supposed to see his description?

 

[Captain Zack]

Well, it's better than trophy days.

 

[Ryan.]

Awesome stage! I wish it was for the Wii U version too though haha.

 

[ThePlacidPlatypus]

I think the Wii U should have also gotten a Pac Man level.

I has one. It's the stage with all the pixel art shown in Pacman's trailer.

 

[Zenmaioh]

looks like a great stage!

 

[Defile]

Oh look, another stage that I'll never play on.

 

[synesthe-sia]

It did get a pac-man level sir !

I know that most of Pac-Man's moves originate from Pac-Land, but come on now. I'm always open to stages, but **** scrolling ones. Could we really not have gotten a Pac-Man World stage? Not even Pac-Man 2: The Adventures? It just looks like MS Paint: The Level. Sonic couldn't have gotten Pumpkin Hill either? Sakurai is a real *******.
