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

[Kaye Cruiser]

Oh

That explains a lot that I didn't really think of or question with the character

I thought things just exploded around him by chance

Wait...

You're seriously just now getting that? XD

C'mon Issy, step it up.

Anywho, I guess we know what one of the things we're getting Thursday is. And what tomorrow's pic will be, for that matter.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So. pic tomorrow?

 

[BravadoMan_13]

I'm definitely not surprised that we'll be seeing trailers for DH Duo and Jr. + the Koopalings.

 

[Kuraudo]

I may be too optimistic to be thinking this, but I seriously hope that the 50 facts about Smash 4 doesn't END with Duck Hunt and/or Bowser Jr.

Pleeeease tell us there's other characters. sdhfkadjhs

 

[Starbound]

So... Duck Hunt trailer confirmed for Thursday's Direct?

And when will we see the Bowser Jr + Koopalings trailer? (you know the Koopalings will be in the trailer)

Given how thus far, the order Sakurai has been using to release characters has been based on the VS matches required to unlock them. Given that Bowser Jr. requires 100 matches and Duck Hunt requires 110, we'll probably see Bowser Jr. shown with Duck Hunt.

It also means we'll likely be seeing Mr. Game and Watch, and probably Jigglypuff, in the direct as well.

 

[Nebulax]

Excitement!

One last thing that is probably irrelavant. In the Miiverse comments of this particular POTD, Duck Hunt is being censored as spoilers in most cases he is mentioned. But they're also making a massive deal out of covering up any mention of Ridley today. Coincidence? Probably?

 

[Meelow]

I hope Duck Hunt Dog's tagline is "Duck Hunt Laughs at the competition"

What do you mean?

 

[PLATINUM7]

Well, well, well.

That picture looks as though it came straight out of a CGI Disney movie for some reason, like Wreck-It Ralph.

Is the person deliberately trying to shoot the Dog in there?

No, the Dog is giving the person targets.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Duck Hunt reveal video? Hell yes! Today or Tomorrow is the real question. I'm guessing during the Direct myself.

 

[JamesDNaux]

The thing I love about this is that it's official confirmation of what most of us thought. We're actually helping the dog, well besides the fact that we're controlling him, anyway. Either that or we're trying to hit the dog and we just have terrible aim.

 

[Nebulax]

I hope Duck Hunt Dog's tagline is "Duck Hunt Laughs at the competition"



What do you mean?

I mean that in the comments on the miiverse site, things are censored that are considered spoilers. Comments with Duck Hunt are, for obvious reasons, but so are the mentions of Ridley.

 

[MasterofMonster]

No, the Dog is giving the person targets.

Except for when he uses Smashes. You can see Dog is terrified, and he makes some adorable cartoony animations when almost shot. XD

 

[Sehnsucht]

So. pic tomorrow?

It'd be neat if we get a picture of a standalone Mechakoopa.

"Pic of the Day! What in the world is this? And where could it have come from? Maybe we'll find out tomorrow..."

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Well, this could serve as a pretty lame conclusion to the Wii U Direct, I'd rather they end it with a new mode instead now that they've already spoiled the two remaining newcomers have trailers.

 

[AustarusIV]

No, the Dog is giving the person targets.

From the way he reacts in-game, I'm surprised.

I have this head-canon that the Hunter is trying to look out for the Dog on the battlefield, by shooting the other characters that are intent on defeating him. But unfortunately, the Dog isn't aware of he's doing and thinks he is getting shot at deliberately, hence the reactions.

But I guess you could also look at it the way you suggested it, judging from that picture.

 

[Zero Suit Wario]

I kinda wish he would've just saved this for the direct... honestly wasn't expecting any more trailers.

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

They're going to show Duck Hunt's trailer. This scene looks like game-play footage not the CGI (Cinematic) bit. The only way I'll be OK with them showing Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr.'s trailers in the direct is if either more unannounced characters like Wolf are revealed in their trailers or their are other unannounced character reveals just not in their trailers. If no unannounced fighters are confirmed playable in this direct than Sakurai's in some serious trouble.

 

[N3ON]

Can you imagine the ensuing madness if we had gotten this pic two months ago?

 

[MasterofMonster]

Well, this could serve as a pretty lame conclusion to the Wii U Direct, I'd rather they end it with a new mode instead now that they've already spoiled the two remaining newcomers have trailers.

Don't worry. I am very sure the big thing in the end will not be something he has teased about. ^^

Hell, I still sorta expect DLC reveals tomorrow.

 

[Clint Jaguar]

When I first saw the pic, I thought it was Duck Hunt Dog's final smash on the Wii U version.

 

[PLATINUM7]

It makes sense to me that the Dog is directing where to shoot because of how his neutral and side specials work.
I guess his face during his smash attacks could just be freaking out at how close the shots are to him.

 

[Nintendotard]

Can you imagine the ensuing madness if we had gotten this pic two months ago?

It'd still be obvious it was Duck Hunt. His game is the most iconic to use the NES zapper and his character is the most recognizable.

 

[N3ON]

That doesn't mean anything, there would still be freakouts a plenty.

I don't think Nintendo will reveal any DLC (if there is any) until after the game has been out on the market for a while (like Mario Kart 8). If there's any new characters, it'll be as some kind of link with the Wii U at this point.

Personally I think the expectation should be that they aren't going to reveal anything tomorrow.

 

[Nintendotard]

oh yes, I know me and @Arcadenik would have our heads exploded

 

[Mythra]

Man, that pic gave me a nostalgia attack
So, with the Duck Hunt trailer we know one of the 50 things of the Direct?, hopefully Jr. may get his own trailer too; I want to see a "proud father" comical reaction from Bowser when his son joins the battle. But now Im hyped to see that infamous but lovable Dog who has been laughing at our failed shooting skills since more than 25 years ago in full HD

 

[N3ON]

According to Sakurai, as someone plays as DHD, behind the scenes yet another person shoots a light gun at the TV (or 3DS...) every time a Smash attack is used.

DHD confirmed for dual player dual character apparently. And I thought the ICs were too complicated for Smash 4.

 

[IsmaR]

Judging by the size difference, the person must use a flashlight or even a laser pointer for the 3DS version.

 

[powerprotoman]

okay this makes sense for me seeing as the 3ds version does not have a video player thing like the wiiu so ya (talking about why its going to be in the direct)

 

[FalKoopa]

Duck Hunt Dog confirmed to have the best trailer ever. God, that zapper brings back a lot of memories.

 

[ZeldaMaster]

Very Disappointing. That means that there won't be a newcomer trailer for any other newcomer other than DHD or Bowser Jr. Screw this

 

[abrinx77]

So the remaining newcomers (sans Dark Pit) are getting trailers. That's awesome, I wonder if he will give us both tomorrow or split them up. Probably both tomorrow. Either way, I think DHD will get the best trailer of the bunch and it will be wondrous, hilarious, nostalgia filled video.

 

[Morrigan]

lol, doesn't anyone find it weird a "real life" person is pointing a gun at Diddy? I know it's silly but still lol

What do you mean? Were you expecting trailers for returning characters?

 

[ZeldaMaster]

I was hoping for more newcomers, like Mewtwo and Isaac, on Thursday instead of DHD and Bowser Jr, since there would be no hype those two since we already know about them.

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

Well here's hoping the direct is worthwhile and that the filler pic is good. See you tomorrow. Happy Smashing.

 

[Deleted member]

Well here's hoping the direct is worthwhile and that the filler pic is good. See you tomorrow. Happy Smashing.

It's not like we're getting 49 other things from the direct (48 if they show the Koopa Kids). There's still going to be a lot of worthwhile stuff in it.

 

[Meelow]

What does Sakurai hyping up the Duck Hunt Dog Trailer have to do with newcomers?

 

[Flaxr XIII]

Grr Thursday can't come fast enough. But I also want to enjoy my wednesday off because I've been working all week. Sakuraaaaaaiiiiii!!!!!

 

[Erimir]

If the zapper had been somewhere easily accessible I was gonna take an IRL photo of the same thing.

But looks like I'd be looking through a lot of boxes to find it, so never mind.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Missingno confirmed! Yeah...the way Dog Hunt is censored vaguely resembles Missingno.
