Mindless drones with sheep mind? I have a feeling that you hate Brawl because that game was hyped and it did deliver all the hype, just probably not the way you wanted it to, BOO-****ING-HOO! That game lived up to its hype and I find it disgusting that SSB4 doesn't even have any hype to live up, Megaman? Even Megaman's pretty meh if the pic of the next day is Luigi's nose.
Sakurai doesn't even HAVE to post daily pictures, so count yourself lucky.
No other developer's making Smash, and Smash IS kind of a much bigger deal than any other game. You can't provide fans with a fantastic DOJO like Brawl's and then leave us info-starved with this new, uneffective, musicless, orderless format. It's like he's putting much less effort into hyping this game.
The Dojo was Brawl's major problem. It overhyped the game and when the game didn't meet those expectations, it caused a division in the fanbase that still lasts today, 6 years later.
I know Smash is a huge game for Nintendo, but you can't say it's bigger than any other AAA title. I think the DOJO was worse than this. He gave us a lot of info, spending time each day to write posts when he could be actually developing the game - which is his job. The DOJO revealed too much in the end, and before it was released I knew so much about the game I was no where near as hyped.
Couldn't have said it better.
Because we were using them to show off Little Mac's attacks one time... now we have penguins and hyenas all up in here.Hey how come were allowed animated gifs here?
As least with ROB, I actually warmed up to him. Miis on the other hand...
It did meet my expectations, it was all the amount of awesome I expected it to be, especially because I knew almost everything about the game before release.
I'm so with you on this. Zelda and Dedede's reveal did nothing for me, and I love Dedede. Marth's reveal is by far my favourite veteran reveal, along with Toon Link, because I just did not expect them. Surprises are way more fun than thinking you're smart and you can predict a guy who's out there to shock us all.
He only does double pictures if they fit in with the PotD. He doesn't upload them at separate times.
The staff has loosened the rules a little bit regarding gif usage. Still, mind that posts consisting entirely of a gif and that do not contribute to the topic are still considered spam and may be infracted.Hey how come were allowed animated gifs here?
Your idea of being "awesome" is entirely subjective. Just because you don't like it and you don't have the huge amount of content the Dojo had doesn't mean it's inherently bad. I, for one, am okay with how the updates are handled this time. There's nothing really worthy of complaint. We still get news on characters, we actually got more trailers than Brawl, we get news on stages, mechanics and items. Sakurai could have easily opted for just showing trailers in directs and don't have updates, you know, like how other Nintendo games handle the reveal of information.
When he does double picture updates, he posts them at the same time.
The only remotely exciting surprise update has been Marth, but Dedede was MUCH better, we were hyped for him, we expected him, and Sakurai gave the fanbase exactly what it wanted, that's how things are done! I'm still having trouble forgiving him for the Pyrosphere week, the unrelenting reasing of Ridley fans, the douchebaggyness of the Waluigi AT caption, Luigi's nose, WFT's butt...I mean, Brawl had "You must recover" for dissapointing updates, but I'm pretty sure we've had more dissapointing updates for this game than actually-useful ones.
Yeah, I know we got Diddy that one time, but Western releases don't seem to be very important to Sakurai.
I disagree. I feel revealing stuff on aniveraries is much better. It gives us more hype and excitment and it shows how much we care about the character
Actually there is one reveal that's arguably predictable. April 20th is the release of NES Remix 1+2 in Japan and a lot of people speculate this is when the Ice Climbers will be revealed. Everything else though is pretty much a toss up.
Well, yes, that does seem likely, though, I do wonder if it would get a reveal. I also expect a Newcomer.
Thats true.
The next mario party is getting released in japan on the 20th
To be fair, the majority of our bad updates came early after E3. The new information comes through pretty steadily now. I do agree with your early post, some music would be fantastic, that's one thing I miss the most.
Plus, weather has science and a usually pretty safe pattern.
And, I mean, it wouldn't even be that hard, just upload the music on a video through Miiverse embedding on Youtube or something, he only has to take a look at how much more hyped people were for Tropical Freeze once they released a few of Wise's new tracks.
Sakurai is Olimar and we are his Pikmin. He promises us fruit, but sends us to the Bulborb.
My point is actually that people SHOULDN'T have even expected Yoshi to be revealed today.
Not to mention another (what I presume is) Animal Crossing 3DS stage. We already have 3 of those revealed thus far. It'd have been more interesting with a Kirby, DKC, Zelda or Metroid handheld stage.
