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

[Admiral Pit]

Not the best stage, but at least it's a Wii U pic.

EDIT: Kind to think of it, if Fire Emblem got 2 stages on the Wii U version, could it be that Kid Icarus could get a 2nd stage on the Wii U as well? I'm serious. I'd be sad if Palutena's Temple was the only one. Whether it's a Forces of Nature stage, Underworld one, or even the Space Pirate area, I hope they get something great.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Ban me for 2 weeks if the PotD is from Wii U or not a menu.

Have fun on your ban.

 

[AustarusIV]

Castle Siege?

That looks really interesting in HD. Guess this means good news for the Coliseum, because I was worried for a moment that they were going to recycle the music from that stage and use it for the new one.

Uh, hey, maybe I'm late to the party, but yall know bout this? http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ice-climbers-axed-from-smash-bros-3ds-roster-due-t/1100-6422368/ I guess Sakurai changed his mind about the "same roster for both versions" rule. Maybe Ice Climbers will be DLC? Or will we be able to see them in a Pic of the day before Wii U release? :o

 

[Mythra]

Castle Siege was my most requested returning stage to return, This is a happy day for me now!
We may get more in the following weeks (Eldin Bridge and Port Town maybe? or Temple and Fountain of Dreams in Melee's case?)

Well one of the FE stages is a returning stage. So the equivalent for Kid Icarus would be Palutina's temple and Skyworld from Brawl.

He still adhered to his "rule".

The ICs weren't working on the 3DS version. Ergo, neither the 3DS nor the Wii U will have gotten the ICs.

Even though, as the article states, they had made a working, if unfinished, Ice Climber pair on the Wii U during development. When the 3DS ICs ended up unfeasible, they would have taken the Wii U ICs and discarded them also.

That is, unless Sakurai has changed his mind since then about both systems getting identical rosters, and the Wii U will indeed gain more characters and/or characters that aren't possible on 3DS hardware.

 

[Starbound]

Hopefully this means that the stage selection on the Wii U version is larger if Fire Emblem is getting two stages.

*prays for Delfino Plaza*

Yeah, thats what I was saying. Especially cause of this quote "However, Sakurai says the team has already prototyped the Ice Climbers running on the Wii U version of the game--a strong suggestion that the characters will appear on the home console version."
I trust Sakurai to make the smart move and use their already made prototype instead of allowing one version to hold another back.

 

[Radical Bones]

Oh wow, was not expecting this! That's cool though! Two stages for FE is awesome new. I'm hoping there's still waaaay more stages to come for the Wii U version. At least one per franchise. Or a more balanced spread.

DK better get two new stages.

 

[nuclearneo577]

Castle Siege looks really nice in HD, in Brawl is was fun but somewhat bland looking to me.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Well, Fire Emblem sure is well covered on stage department, a new stage on both versions and an old one on the Wii U, wish this was the case for all bigger franchises honestly.

Anyways, it's always neat to see something old return in HD, so I'm happy with this update.

 

[abrinx77]

OOH, more Wii U news! And a good stage at that! Seeing as how Fire Emblem has two stages on the Wii U, I sincerely hope it means that every franchise gets proper representation on the Wii U version(they have been doing a good job so far, just need a DK, Yoshi, Wario, Mother, F-Zero, and Game and Watch level.) Fingers crossed for Fountain of Dreams HD as well as an actual Duck Hunt level!

 

[Mr. Johan]

Most of the games in the Fire Emblem series have a different unique setting and have fields without much height, so it was hard to narrow down what venues to focus on. Castle Siege and Colosseum are two stages that aren't exclusive to specific games in the franchise.

Had he not specified the number, I would have thought Colosseum and Castle Siege were the only stages Fire Emblem was getting. But, since he did, that leaves the gate wide open for another stage, particularly a stage with a game-specific origin.

Don't tease with my heart, Sakurai-sama.

 

[Mythra]

Yeah, thats what I was saying. Especially cause of this quote "However, Sakurai says the team has already prototyped the Ice Climbers running on the Wii U version of the game--a strong suggestion that the characters will appear on the home console version."
I trust Sakurai to make the smart move and use their already made prototype instead of allowing one version to hold another back.

I agree, he wanted them back, but at this point seems unlikely, but with the New 3DS coming with better Hardware they may get a DLC on the future along with the Wii U version.

Back on topic; The stage looks smaller for me but maybe is because the larger character models, so probably Sakurai ported the original model and remastered; the sun effect on the first pic is awesome in my opinion

 

[Sehnsucht]

It would be nice, obviously, but I wouldn't expect Sakurai to alienate a segment of the Smash 4 consumer base through character-system favouritism.

For while the Wii U would gain the advantage with extra characters (even if only with the ICs), the 3DS users are disadvantaged. It wouldn't bode well if the 3DS users start crying foul as a result. I suppose this could also apply should a revised edition come out on the New 3DS system line in a year or two. In fact, that might be a good strategy; giving incentive to get the Wii U or New 3DS versions, phasing out the old 3DS version with less characters.

I suppose we'll see. But it seems to me that the fact Sakurai committed to shared rosters was precisely because the 3DS was the less powerful system, so they had to use that as the common denominator.

Wouldn't it be funny if they brought back Rumble Falls?

But seriously, I really hope we get one new DK stage - preferably one from Tropical Freeze.

 

[silvR1995]

I'm really hoping we get Poké Floats back from Melee..

Also an actual Duck Hunt stage and some new Yoshi and DK stages. All 3 got gimped on 3DS.

 

[Mythra]

Rumble Falls is likely to return (we need a scrolling stage nodody will ever use) but I hope Sakurai expands his mind and include a Tropical Freeze stage (we also need the icy stage, and with the IC out, another universe will take the place)

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I hope Rainbow Cruise comes back again, it's my favorite FFA chaos stage alongside Brinstar Depths.

 

[Flaxr XIII]

Spoiler Alert: He's not. They're cut. But I've been dancing this dance all week so I won't harp on it anymore. (At least not right now...)

Yo! Wii U PotD. It's been a while. Looks good. I wasn't the biggest fan of Castle Siege but it's good to have it back.

 

[Radical Bones]

Rumble Falls is the worst stage that has ever existed. If DKCR:TF doesn't get a stage, it's a crime.

Grassland Groove would be amazing. With Windmill Hill's track - or Sakurai can be clever and play Windmill Hill on Sonic's pretty new stage.

 

[LaughingLuigi]

Wow. I wasn't expecting a Wii U pic tonight! I thought tonight's pic caption would be Sakurai announcing that the Wii U version doesn't exist.

 

[Deleted member]

I forgot how beautiful the Wii U version looks.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

Welcome back Castle Siege! It's great to have another good, legal stage just like that; the stage already worked pretty well in Brawl, and all of the mechanics changes should make its generally tedious second form play a lot better now. This update is definitely one of the best in quite a while for me.

 

[Mythra]

Looks like this thread only needed a nice Wii U pic to come back to life! (at least for a moment)
With Sakurai acknowledging the Wii U images drought, we may get at least 2-3 HD pics next week.

 

[IceAnt573]

Don't tease with my heart, Sakurai-sama.

As much as I want a game specific stage (Tower of Guidance would be so hype), there will be so much salt over Fire Emblem getting three stages on the Wii U Version and 4 total.

 

[Ryuutakeshi]

Yes! Fire Emblem is love. Fire Emblem is life.

 

[Spazzy_D]

I always enjoyed this stage for casual play. Seeing Wii U stages makes me remember that I can still feel hype for this game!

 

[Rich Homie Quan]

Ban me for 2 weeks if the PotD is from Wii U or not a menu.

Damn bruh

I'm so glad this stage is back. I love it

 

[IsmaR]

I really hope the Omega Forme for this stage is the 3rd transformation rather than the 1st.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm ecstatic that the Wii U version is getting more stages than the 3DS version.

Let's hope that we get a new one for each franchise.

 

[MasterofMonster]

I really hope the Omega Forme for this stage is the 3rd transformation rather than the 1st.

I bet it will. Would probably be the easiest one to make a Omega of anyways. ^^

Really hope all franchises has a new stage on the Wii-U. Would make it all so much more hype for me.

Melee was so good this way, as almost all franchises had two stages or more. Of course, they have a LOT of more franchises now, so I understand if that is tough to do.

 

[Frostwraith]

As a Fire Emblem fan, I approve of 2 FE stages. Coliseum and Castle Siege may not be from specific games, unlike Arena Ferox, but they do take iconic elements from the series.

With 4 FE characters in the game, I believe two stages for them is fair game.

 

[IceAnt573]

I see Delfino Plaza, either of the Pokemon Stadiums, Onett, and Pirate Ship as having the highest chance of returning.

 

[Silvera]

I'm sure Luigi's Mansion is likely to return. I'd also like to see Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland (N64) and maybe Fourside.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I wonder when he is gonna say, btw here is the cast, on the website as a daily.

Now tell Sakurai to give Brawl a fair amount of regular(Past excluded) Kirby courses. I like Halberd and all, but come on...

But otherwise, I really like the overall sets of courses in each game.

 

[Frostwraith]

Speaking of past stages, the music of the Kongo Jungle stage from Smash 64 is on Smash 3DS.

Could it mean Kongo Jungle N64 will return?

 

[TheDMonroeShow]

I see Delfino Plaza, either of the Pokemon Stadiums, Onett, and Pirate Ship as having the highest chance of returning.

If sakurai's is going to continue to force us to use the fludd on mario, Delfino NEEDS to come back.

I'm also really hoping for foutain of dreams personall..but most of all I just hope this is the start of the POTD generating some wii u hype. I haven't been hyped for the 3ds version for awhile now.

Speaking of past stages, the music of the Kongo Jungle stage from Smash 64 is on Smash 3DS.

I doubt it means much considering in brawl a lot of music was listed from past stages..though i would like to see some n64 stages.
