Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. We've added Masterpieces in the Wii U version--this is where you can look back on what fighters did in the past!! You can actually play the games too."


Sakurai made a second post with a comment and picture as well: "Some of the Masterpieces aren't unlocked at the beginning of the game. It's impressive that there are even games from the Game Boy. Some games have different starting points, while others come loaded with save data."

::waiting for people to insist that the Balloon Fighter and Pilotwing Pilot will be DLC characters::

I normally don't like the Masterpieces as I see it as unneeded fluff though I like this roster of Masterpieces. Especially the fact that apparently MOTHER 1 is an unlockable. I do hope we get the first Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid, Fire Emblem Gaiden, Duck Hunt, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Pac Man. I feel some of these are a lock already.

I do like how when you select the masterpiece, the character pops out....such as Mario's left hand.

I didn't play these in Brawl very often. Mainly because when I tried, it would take a really long time to load and at one point wouldn't reload Smash Bros afterwards

Was the different starting points/pre-loaded save data in Brawl? I never did Masterpiece much, but that is a cool feature and may get me to play this a bit more. And even if this isn't my favorite mode, the detail with the character models and release days is very nice.

I remember seeing Pac-Man in the 50 Facts video. I, too, hope for a Sonic masterpiece, but I'm not sure how likely it is considering he doesn't have any eShop games on Wii U.

Yeah. It was done in games like Ocarina of Time so you didn't have to waste 2 minutes of you 5 minute trial watching the opening cutscene.

Lol Looking at those games definitely take me back I really had good times back there I remember that Super Mario world was my very first games of Nintendo that ever played then DK country, Pac-Man (which I never pass the game), Sonic the Hedgehog, next Kirby superstar and etc. I might play all those games in the future to relieve the moment.

EarthBound should just have you start at the battle with Giygas. "WHAT DO I DO?!" xD

Personally, I find this a waste of development time. I never play them and the characters themselves are what got me interested into their respected series, not Masterpieces.

That makes sense. I forgot Ocarina was included. I guess I mainly had NES games in mind.

These were always pretty nice. Really hope they don't take forever to load like the ones in Brawl

Duck Hunt is coming to the eShop soon and hopefully we see it here. I actually kind of want to play it. My dad used to play it as a kid as was apparently good.

Most of these I will end up emulating, but cool I guess.

They should make a feature where if you have the game you have the complete masterpiece

:urg: I really dislike the inclusion of Masterpieces if the time to use them is still limited... I would probably love them much more if they were done how Animal Crossing has implemented (apparently, at least 1 Animal Crossing installment let you play full NES games, etc.). If we can't even play the full game, the development team/Nintendo might as well just release the time-limited Masterpieces to the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShops as demonstration versions instead.

A waste of space in my opinion. This section would be much more interesting if it was but a showcase of all the games the characters had made an appearance in so far, sorta like a museum or such.

Demos belong to the shop itself.

The fact that there are Gameboy games indicates there's a possibiliac to see a Game & Watch Gallery in it, though I would prefer direct ports of Game & Watch games themselves. Gallery has too much Mario.

Oh I forgot Sakurai hates Wario

Weren't there rumours that the masterpieces barely took up any disk space at all and its more to do with loading data from the Wii Store or something? If so then nothing to complain about these being in the game really.

But anyway my unpopular opinion, I really like Masterpices, it just what I needed in Smash game like this...
