WE NEED THAT INFO! STAT!

 

[Youko]

...I concur. If it truly exists, we need translations.

 

[KosukeKGA]

15 more days is too much, isn't it?

 

[Pieman0920]

Wait wait, didn't we already get most of the scans for that? You know, those moveset pages. >_>

 

[Titan05]

woah, where did they get that information from??

 

[KosukeKGA]

If they did, they would be real ****ing *** nozles.

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

*facepalm*

IGN had to have screwed up somewhere.

 

[TnadeN]

15 more days is too much, isn't it?

15 days = 360h = 21600min = 1.296million seconds... enough said? ^^

WOOT strategy guides FTW!

 

[Blackadder]

15 more days is too much, isn't it?

YES.
I want to see my Ganonbaby, and his new look!
Squee!

I'm acting like a fangurl! But squee! Get a translater in! Stat!

 

[Demon Kirby]

We need the guy who's name in censored! (something something ****a)

 

[LuigiTendo]

So...guide or not? I WANT TO KNOW!

Those scans probably came from the guide, but the posters did NOT want to reveal NEW stuff!

Just the confirmed

 

[bastula]

zomg 200 page booklet? oh HELL YEAH!!!!!

 

[LuigiTendo]

YEAH!
Who has the famitsu? Is it out legally yet? or was it a leaked copy?

 

[Xedi]

Any other site confirm this ?

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

Don't get your hopes up.

Famitsu is out, isn't it? We should've seen those scans by now if it were true. I'm also thinking IGN may be referring to a later date.

Whatever that guide is, if it's not what's already scanned, it's not out *now*.

 

[Novus]

Maybe its a typo and it was actually 20 pages and it just was mostly those scans we saw earlier.

 

[Terrabottuti]

Wouldn't it be great if the guide just had every single update written on the DOJO so far?

While I don't want to be a pessimist, I highly doubt we'd get a guide with every single character in the game about 15 days before the game's release... mind you, Famtisu is a highly trusted source in all things game related in japan so maybe Nintendo would want to leak a lineup like this? Heh, I still have my doubts, especially since I think we'd have seen some guys leak it by now, especially since we got scans of almost every character so far doing their special moves.

check out the numbers on the bottom
its 124 and more
so this is the booklet he refers to

 

[Croco]

...

I said this already around 1-2am Eastern Time.. no one listens to me.

 

[webrunner]

The lowest numbered page we have is 17-18, the highest numbered page we have is 146-147. That suggests we're missing a LOT of pages.

 

[CJay]

look at the page gaps between the known characters. i think there filled with AT, Modes and Pokeballs
so nothing new

 

[Xedi]

So you reckon the Japanese know the whole roster and aren't telling ?

 

[LuigiTendo]

So...the poster is CHOOSING not to show us stuff! Probably going to claim to be a "Prophet" and reveal the whole roster sometime this week. We'll all fall for it, he'll be lying, and we'll never know!

Someone better get ahold of that FAST!

 

[MajinNecro69]

For all you know, the Japanese have the entire roster, but aren't allowed to tell us, otherwise they'd be in major trouble. That's prolly why Sheik was revealed so early, since they were forced to show us.

 

[Nintandy²]

I've read this on a few sites now, then again for all we know this could be sourced to IGN. On the other hand, you're right, there are distinguishable page numbers we can use. I don't think there'll be too much new, but you never know, there might be something we haven't seen before. Two weeks isn't long to wait anyway . I've got months!

[LuigiTendo]

Well, characters or not, there are Stages and items waiting to be shown!!! that's exciting enough for me, Characters make me lose sleep!!! *Lol, I only got 5 last night* after those scans. Couldn't stop thinking about them. But, items, ATs, Pokeballs, and stages are good enough for me! JUST SHOW THEM!


And In Japan...you're online! How does anyone know WHO exactly revealed the scans? Just post them, and it's not like the law will be kicking down your door and hauling you off to prison or anything. JUST SCAN THEM!

 

[LuigiTendo]

But we too, must realize how LONG it would take to scan the WHOLE thing. Lol

HOURS

You'd need a whole office full of people scanning to get it done in half a day

 

[webrunner]

There's only one missing page between Ice Climbers and Metaknight.

We do know there's non-character pages- the Samus history page shows that. I'm guessing there's a history page for Metaknight or Ice Climbers between those two, and then one before or after for the characters..

So given that.. let's say we have 4 pages per character. 4 pages per known character is 25*4 = 100 pages, plus the extra two for pokemon trainer makes 102. Assuming there's some table of contents and other stuff, we can pad that out to 110 approximately, leaving 90 unknown pages.

 

[Nintandy²]

Haha oh I never knew you meant new stages and items etc :D. If that's the case, I'd happily lap it all up!

And someone is bound to scan them in soon, or at least provide translations. Not long now!

-- Andy

 

[LuigiTendo]

Yeah. like a picture of Rosalina, the guitar girl ect. NEW Items, old ones too! Stages as well, Delfino plaza, the haunted house stage ect...JUST WANT TO SEE ALL OF THEM!

here's what gets me going:
1. Characters
2. Stages
3. items
4. Pokeballs
5. ATs

Soooooooo anything from that list would be fine w/ me

New characters that is..the only TWO Without their OWN PAGES are Sheik and Olimar!

 

[webrunner]

I doubt there's any new info.. if there was Sonic's page would be on his stage (since Snake has a stage, Sonic not having a stage seems unlikely)

 

[LuigiTendo]

You mean this scan?

 

[webrunner]

Yeah- that's what I meant, actually, it's not on a Sonic stage, it's on Battlefield, but everyone else's is on their own stage, which suggests either there a) isn't a Sonic stage, which is unlikely, or b) they aren't revealing stuff that isn't already (or that day) on the Dojo

 

[ßruK]

I think it might me the "b)" option.

 

[Tony_]

The bookelet probably has things we already know about more or less.

 

[Eaode]

But Seriously, why would they release a 200 page strategy guide that was incomplete?

So you can put 'strategy guide' on the front and get tons of people to buy it? It's supposedly either in or comes with the magazine, so it's likely a selling piece, rather than a true stand-alone guide. Like the 25 page magazine 'walkthroughs' you see in US publications that only cover the first 5 hours of a 25 hour RPG then point you at the PRIMA guide or such.

Thats actually a pretty good point. I'm with him

 

[kingjoekur]

[Kurizu208]
