Super Smash Bros. for WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. Here are the results for Conquest mode for players in Japan that are playing the Japanese 3DS version. Their next challenge is to battle each other with fighters they've trained up and fighters made of metal!!"

So very relevant to all of us outside of Japan, eh, Sakurai? At least we get a sneak peak at what to expect. OCTOBER HERE WE COME!

Hey Japan! Wanna know what I think of your menu POTDs?


And I'm sure most here share sentiments.

Once again, Sakurai has left us in awe and wonder. Mainly wonder this time: " I wonder wtf this is?"

I really feel like Sakurai is just phoning it in now. I click on today daily pic more out of habit then interest, a habit I hope I can break quickly.

This is factual evidence that Shulk is a better bishie than Marth.

I'm all up to look at Michiko-sans work. She deserves just as much love as Sakurai and the Smash Bros community needs to show some love to his wife. Hard to find it that some people don't even appreciate her work but call them selves supporters of Smash.

Ok, so I thought I understood Conquest mode from the last PotD, but now I don't. I thought they were placing ALL characters on teams and including them all in one big rating/popularity game. However, this PotD makes it seem more like the Wii's now-defunct Everybody Asks channel.

Hey. Man.

As a life-long dedicated smash fan, I feel as if I speak for a lot of people when I say I could give a flying **** about Sakurai's wife.
That was perhaps a rude way of saying it, but it's also got some comedic flair, so I hope you don't mind.

Are people seriously expecting anything but menus? What else is Sakurai gonna show, stages we already know about?

Ooh, I got 1000 coins because Shulk won. I can't tell whether this is compensation for doing decently as Marth or my prize for doing poorly as Shulk- I can't remember who I used more.

We get it Sakurai, nobody else but the Japanese has the full game. You don't need to spell that out in every PotD. :glare:

This isn't me trying to act like a white knight, but I legitimately think it's cool that the director's wife, someone who in most games do not participate in the development of the game itself, actually participated in giving us a complete product, and that her husband is showing off her work for the world to see.

PotD's are privileges, not obligations anyway.

People are expecting Wii U POTD, don't expect a flow of them yet. The 3DS version was just released and we pretty much know everything about the overall premises of the game. We still have Nov. or Dec till the Wii U Version releases so Sakurai and Nintendo has to balance out the momentum when it comes to what content to reveal for the Wii U version of the game.

They have to keep the hype going but revealing too much, I have a feeling that we will probably get a Nintendo Direct probably around mid October and I believe the Japanese Wii U version releases before ours as well so lets be a bit patient and have fun speculating the information we have now with the 3DS version of the game now released.

Just wanted to throw in my two cents...........

What is Conquest Mode again? I thought this was some tier list evaluation. I was going to say, "Oh, hey! Finding out who is the best to the worst won't be as difficult now."

I'm really confused as to what Conquest mode really is. Is it a way to evaluate characters' performances online to more easily determine balance issues, or is it some sort of odd team battle where all players using a certain character compete against other teams of other characters to get the highest win ratio and get rewards if they win? I guess I'll find out when the game releases, but I really can't find a good, simple answer right now.

I highly doubt we'll get a good flow of Wii U POTD's until after Smash 3DS comes out in the West.

Also, holy **** there are a lot of entitled kids here.

So, another boring PoTD. Unsurprising, if I must say. Though I have a hunch that the reason we've been getting such a huge snorefest lately is because we're leading up to a new Nintendo Direct that'll show off a ton of new Wii U stuff. Just fingers crossed atm.

It seems to me like Sakurai wants to show off all the 3DS stuff before we get it outside of Japan. So I would guess we won't be seeing any Wii U PotD's until after SSB 3DS hits.
