Unprecedented, yes. But it doesn't cause the same sort of reaction. That was just Sakurai being an idiot and not recognizing good characters to most people.
Yes. Also, I like how I said I was going to leave, I think about a page or 2 ago, and I'm still here. I may have to get up early, but I'll survive on about 7 hours of sleep.
Dark Pit is one of my most beloved gaming characters of all time. Its very subjective to me.
Yea im hoping for some good news tomorrow, and im sure Sakurai is going to do another update on the website as well.
Snake would not have a trophy even if he isn't going to be in the game at all. It would require licensing and money, and I don't think they'd want to waste that on just a trophy. Maybe DLC is possible in the future though, but I'm not holding my breath for Snake. He really felt like a one-time deal, kind of a shame since I enjoyed his inclusion.
He was among the first trophies to be discovered.
Sadly, yes.
That may have been before the ESRB leak, but wasn't it after the Ninka leak, which had all the ESRB info? I'm still holding out hope for Mewtwo to appear eventually though.
It's the connectivity thing that really gets me. Sure we'll have the same roster across both versions, but you still need both to unlock them all
We were talking about that a few pages back. To be honest it's a rehashed version of what we already know, but I personally think it's possible. Especially since they never elaborated on the Wii U-3DS link option in the Wii U menu screenshots. Like I mentioned I wouldn't get people's hopes up with this, but I can see it happening.
Im guessing that you'll be able to buy those characters as DLC if you don't have the WiiU version but this may not even be true.It's the connectivity thing that really gets me. Sure we'll have the same roster across both versions, but you still need both to unlock them all
It doesn't have to work that way. The other characters could be paid DLC if you don't have a Wii U.It's the connectivity thing that really gets me. Sure we'll have the same roster across both versions, but you still need both to unlock them all
This would be a terrible business decision, as well as opening Nintendo up to false advertising suits for the "both have the same roster" claim. If you have to pay for them, they are a separate product.
Forgot to reply to this: I actually agree that people are very upset, but it's nothing new. In the end, Nintendo doesn't have anything to worry about. We still don't make up significantly.
I agree with this, that would be kind of a bad idea. Like, I can sort of see why they would do that as additional content does cost money to make, but it'd feel sort of cheaping out on the 3DS version-only consumers.
But you don't NEED them. It would only be a deprecate product if the game couldn't function without them, but they're optional. That's how all DLC content works..
You miss the point. They advertised both games having the same roster. If one game has characters that are only available in the other through an additional purchase, that advertisement is false, and legally viable for that.
A corporation being greedy? Do we all live in the same planet? Let's be realistic, corporations jobs are to MAKE money. It's always about the money at the end of the day and keeping the gears turning in the corporate machine. This isn't an indie game guys.
Actually no I didn't. Please show me in print where Nintendo is legally, repeatedly marketing that aspect of the game. As far as I know, they mentioned it once. There's nothing illegal about that. I think you're missing the point - the two games will have the same roster. It's just that, in this theoretical scenario, the Wii U receives bonus content for marketing purposes. The 3DS still has the same roster, it's just that the bonus characters have to be bought. That's a simple marketing fallacy. If the product works with or without the extra content and doesn't become defunct due to it, there's no legal issue. So as far as your "processor" scenario, it wouldn't really count because the extra characters aren't "processor upgrades", they're merely phone cases to enhance your phone. You can have a phone case or not, you'll still have the same phone.
Oh good, I can play as Mewtwo and other characters I actually care about.
LOL It was his (the leaker's) words about the DLC being possibly greedy, not mine.
Well I'm all for free DLC, and I can see that happening as well. But there's nothing illegal about using fallacies as marketing schemes. Yes, it's dirty, but this is business, and a comment such as "both games will have the same roster" isn't much of an argument, legal or otherwise because it's not a prominent or detrimental feature for either games, especially because there's no cross platform gaming. And if it's paid, they could make it cheap, like $5-$10 for all three-four bonus characters, free for people who have both 3DS and Wii U.
He said he was considering adding Mewtwo back at a Pokemon X and Y roundtable
He said he was thinking about it, actually. Not exactly trolling in my honest opinion as he cannot actually answer with a yes or no. The way he teased Ridley is another story though.
So did ridley end up being a stage hazard or is that stage exclusive to wii u?
Well I didn't say he was trolling, but that's the closest thing to a tease which is what you asked.
Well... this is the strange part, we still don't know his fate! Despite Pyrosphere being announced a year ago, we still don't know the status of Ridley. Sakurai keeps teasing us, not showing off the boss at all outside of its shadow. It's... so weird. Like, we only have a few more months to go until the game is out, surely Ridley (as a boss) would've been finished by now so there's no excuse to hide the boss footage... Very suspicious if you ask me lol
Ah yeah, I figured you didn't mean that. I should've been clear that was more or less directed at the dude who said Sakurai trolled us. My bad!
Think he meant Mega evolutions
Someone asked if the new form of Mewtwo (his Y Mega Evolution) would be in the new Smash Bros.
We don't have any official confirmations of it, but considering what happened, I don't see him becoming anything else, sadly. My guess is that he's one of the exclusive features that will be marketed for the WiiU version.
Wii U only.
Gematsu sure sounded credible at the time, and look how that turned up. Yeah, not buying it. Tired of leaks leading to hype.
I'm still getting 8PM AEST here! (10PM NZST)
