Miiverse Daily Pic Thread: 2nd Edition (Updated 9/19)

****ing beautiful.

THIS is an update.

I guess there are like 5 versions of this stage then? I can't really see it going beyond that number. Or is it like randomly generated every time? That would be kinda huge.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Is this the same Animal Crossing stage we've already seen on the 3DS or a second one? If it's the same one, could it be that you travel back and forth and keep geting different random islands? I'm kinda unclear about this, and I don't really know anything about Animal Crossing.

It's the same stage, however, the layout changes everytime you choose the stage


If it is built randomly everytime you choose the stage it would be nice if you could save certain layouts you like.

Same one. This caption tells it all...

"What a beautiful day. On this stage, fighters are randomly placed on a different island layout every time they visit. Yar, come back anytime will ya?"

 

[Staarih]

Nice, stage info! I had almost forgotten about this stage haha. So if the island layout is random everytime, do you think the background characters will be too? At least Tortimer is only in one of the pics.

It's certainly this one.

Because Kap'n in it and it matches with the planks.

 

[DragonRob20]

Meh...well I cant complain, its a new stage...idk if Ill ever get the 3ds version but this is better the lame Dedede pic

 

[Pacack]

Definitely going to be banned competitively if it doesn't have a default look. Even if it doesn't have any hazards, it's going to be impossible to predict which layout shows up.

(Casually, though, this looks like TONS of fun, though.)

 

[BeatNinja]

Quality Friday update. I'm happy. Looking forward to Yoshi's reveal next week, if it happens.

Goodnight folks.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

There's no reason this stage would be banned just because of a random layout. That doesn't even make sense; we've had hundreds of tournaments with random stage select in the past so what difference would it be if a stage had a random layout?

I'm also not entirely convinced based on Sakurai's posts that it's random on stage load and then permanent for the match. We don't know everything the stage does; it's entirely possible you enter and leave the island and cycle through layouts like PictoChat etc.. Given Kappn's presence, I could easly imagine this having a transformation mechanic.

 

[DaDavid]

I still don't quite get the way the actual platforms will work.. those trees look like you can get on them, so I'm guessing that's, but the edges look so strange. I'm gonna assume it's a walk off but since there's water there, it's a bit strange looking as far as walk offs go.

Sucks we probably won't see anything about this stage for the rest of the pre-launch hype era XD

Also someone take not of how long ago he showed us the first screen teasing this; let the countdown for a better look at KI's stage on Wii U begin!

 

[juddy96]

Unfortunately since I don't have money to get a Wii U right now, my only chance is for the 3ds version (I have a 3ds already). Been wanting to use it since X&Y. Looks like an awesome stage. Quality week of updates.

 

[Xaltis]

I knew we were getting a new stage tonight.

 

[DaDavid]

I don't know about that. Knowing how the island works in AC, and given his phrasing of "every time they visit," I think there's more to suggest that we get a different layout on load.

 

[ppbto]

Huh... I wanted a new Wii U stage.

 

[Vintage Creep]

So Yoshi for next Friday is a lock.
I hope we get an actual new WiiU stage also, or at least a good look at the Kid Icarus one.

 

[DaDavid]

Anyone realize we got 3DS screens this week? Two of them in a row at that D=

Wonder if we'll be seeing more 3DS love in the coming weeks. Wouldn't surprise me with a potential Yoshi reveal, given his game on 3DS.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

This stage should have a unique feature: Only Heracross and Pinsir spawn from Poke Balls when playing here.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

I don't know about that. Knowing how the island works in AC, and given his phrasing of "every time they visit," I think there's more to suggest that we get a different layout on load.

I mean... we have no basis to judge that at all is what I'm saying. Sakurai said each time you go to the island; if it's a static stage, it's definitely on load, but if it's dynamic, there's basically no way it could work other than leaving the island. I'm all for reading into exactly what Sakurai is saying and extrapolating, but in this case, I think his language is incredibly ambiguous to the point that it could be either way. Like... this update is so vague that we don't even know what parts of the stage constitute "ground"... I do notice that it's surrounded by water though; swimming confirmed to return?

As per whether you can specify forms, it has gone both ways in the past on stages with multiple load-outs. Mushroomy Kingdom let the player pick 1-1 or 1-2 based on held buttons, but Spear Pillar and Shadow Moses Island (random background Metal Gears) did not though to be fair it's also not clear just how different these various layouts are. If they're really similar, there may be no reason to let us pick but also not a huge amount of significance in which one is picked.

EDIT: And, uh, how does this island work in Animal Crossing? I am super familiar with basically every other smash represented series, but I know basically nothing about Animal Crossing.

 

[Steelia]

wrong topic;; No post deleting? ok, sure, that's cool...

ot, Animal Crossing, never played, so not really hyped for the stage. But the whole randomized stage-swap deal sounds neat.

 

[Silvera]

Huh... I wanted a new Wii U stage.

Maybe next time. We were due for another 3DS stage anyway.

 

[WIldBam]

So Yoshi for next Friday is a lock.
I hope we get an actual new WiiU stage also, or at least a good look at the Kid Icarus one.

I wouldn't say yoshi is for sure going to happen next friday. They may push him back until the Japan release of that game like what happened with zelda, but I hope you're right though, would be cool to see what he looks like soon and get an obvious veteran return out of the way.

 

[abrinx77]

Woohoo! Finally some info on this stage and it looks great! I'm loving all the extra details this game is providing, from the random islands to the several cameo appearances, this stage does AC:NL some justice.

 

[mygamecube]

Another week of goodies.

Here's to next week, aka Week of Yoshi.

I don't know, I really don't find what he said to be that vague. I'll grant you the stage's exact layout as far as what constitutes platforms is kinda funky, especially with the angles he gave us, but as far as what is meant by "every time they visit," I don't see how there's room to interpret that as "go from island to island." I guess my point is that considering what the islands are in AC:NL, there's really no reason to think that the change would be dynamic.

 

[Sehnsucht]

Nice to finally see Tortimore of that stage.

No apologies.

 

[NintendoKnight]

People wanted a stage this week, and they finally got one.

And lol, random stage layout! It's brilliant! Maybe the weather should also change depending on the player's current weather forecast.

 

[NitrusVirus]

Holy **** Im in love with this stage.

 

[Shroob]

So, Yoshi is a lock next week.

 

[Raccoonman_900]

Love how Sakurai comments on how he mentions that he also catches the bugs on the island to get lots of Bells.
It definitely seems that it's random every time you pick it, which gives it both a lot of variety and shows how big the 3DS version is gonna be.
Though I wonder from a detail perspective. Would Pascal show up, swimming in the background and with Pete flying?

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Can someone explain exactly why we will see Yoshi next week?

 

[Shroob]

Can someone explain exactly why we will see Yoshi next week?

Yoshi's New Island NA release date is this coming Friday.

 

[McDuckletts]

This stage should have a unique feature: Only Heracross and Pinsir spawn from Poke Balls when playing here.

I'm okay with this.

 

[PikaJew]

Can someone explain exactly why we will see Yoshi next week?

The NA release of Yoshi's New Island is on the 14th

 

[Kenith]

Definitely going to be banned competitively if it doesn't have a default look. Even if it doesn't have any hazards, it's going to be impossible to predict which layout shows up.

(Casually, though, this looks like TONS of fun, though.)

I'm happy I'm not the only one who thinks like that.

Everytime I see I new stage, I'm like "Oh, that is sooooo banned."

 

[DaDavid]

Don't know why I'm still fairly skeptical about seeing Yoshi next week. We didn't get Zelda till the Japanese release of that game, so I guess I just somehow find that more significant than Diddy who I feel was postponed due to the Direct more than anything.

 

[Aurora Jenny]

This stage should have a unique feature: Only Heracross and Pinsir spawn from Poke Balls when playing here.

Wasn't there a Pokemon select in Brawl? THis might actually be possible.

 

[Staarih]

Yoshi's New Island NA release date is this coming Friday.

Yoshi being revealed then is very likely possibility but I wouldn't say it's a lock just yet.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

There we go.

New stage? And it's on the 3DS version?

Thanks for the early birthday present, Sakurai. You can be pretty cool sometimes, despite being mostly a ****. ¦D

Yoshi's game doesn't come out in Japan til some time in the summer.

 

[Kenith]

No. There has never been such a feature, nor has there been a stage hazard switch.

Please, if not in the original release, the as DLC...
