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

[Superyoshiom]

You know, this makes me want Chimeras as enemies in Smash run. It would make for some good Mother representation.

 

[Substitution]

So, that's in. Nice to know it'll scare me in another game. If one game wasn't bad enough.
Though in this case, I really doubt that Sakurai would make it instant-kill. It's most likely gonna be high damage or high knockback.

 

[Spazzy_D]

BTW, Magicant is the best choice for a Mother Stage, it was in all 3 games and was an awesome and memorable location in each.

Magicant isn't in Mother 3. Even then it isn't the same Magicant that's in Mother 1 as in Mother 2, since it's technically not a real location but rather a manifestation of a person's mind. In Mother 1 it's inside the mind of one of Ninten's ancestors, while in Mother 2 it's inside Ness' mind.

There are no reoccuring locations in Mother, there are two different Magicants and Saturn Valleys, but that's the extend of that. It's mostly because all three games are set in different countries: Mother 1 is simply set in America, Mother 2 is set in Eagleland (the adventure goes way outside its boundaries though), and Mother 3 is set on the Nowhere Islands.

Personally I want either the Mother 1 Magicant or Mother 2 Saturn Valley as stages, both have great potential and are arguably the two most iconic places in the entire trilogy.

Only ever played (and beat) Mother (Earthbound Zero version) and Earthbound, but I was pretty sure I heard people mention it was in Mother 3 but I suppose I was wrong (I never really looked much into it as I plan on EVENTUALLY playing the game.) Sorry for my misguided assumptions.... I'm actually a bit upset that it's NOT in the game.

Regardless, Magicant was a fun place in the first two games. Also, it's not a "real place" so as long as you stuck with the basic design scheme you could basically reference anything else you wanted from the game.

Exactly why it could be such a fun stage. It could even cross-reference between games, not only having things like the Dragon from Mother 1, but also guys like Master Belch.

Mother 3 lacks a lot of the things that Mother 1 and Earthbound share, it's much more distinct from the others, even to the point that without Porky and Saturn Valley I wouldn't even call it a sequel.

Either way, this is rapidly becoming off-topic.

 

[FalKoopa]

Onett will forever be the best Mother stage.

In regards to today's pic, I guess this is the stage hazard for Reset Bomb Forest.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Back to the current PoTD then. I'm actually not a fan of the idea of Orne being a stage hazard in the Reset Bomb stage. The stage looks awesome but there is already so much going on, Veridi makes a cameo and the stage's appearance changes DRASTICALLY between forms. On top of that, we already see that far less destructive KI enemies will show up so the Orne just seems like over kill.

 

[Substitution]

Wait, I'm forgetting here.
Was there an Orne in the Reset Bomb Forest?

Edit: Now that I think about it, it doesn't look like said stage to me.
It looks more like the Smash Run stage.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Ornes never appeared on the Reset Bomb chapter. Really looks more like a Smash Run enemy. Could be an event where lots of Ornes appear and they'll play the 8-bit music from Uprising.

And now I'm wondering if Reapers will change the stage music during Smash Run.

 

[BluePikmin11]

He mentions the Chimera, Lucas totally confirmed. :9

 

[DraginHikari]

The Reaper and Ornes themes have this weird disturbing sense to them and always make me feel uneasy.

 

[egaddmario]

Chimera mentioned- gimme dat Lucas. Also, if we get Magicant as a stage, all characters on it should be naked. To keep up with canon, of course...

Spoiler

Zero Zero Suit Samus

 

[8-peacock-8]

 

[spader13]

I guess I can sort of see how people would think it's the Reset Bomb factory, but I assumed it was Smash Run when I first saw it and still think that. Viridi has her own army, and Orne isn't part of it, so it'd seem out of place on the stage.

I hope they have their creepy music in the game, and if they're a special event, it seems likely they would.

 

[8-peacock-8]

I believe it's Smash Run.

 

[aldelaro5]

new info? this means that maybe we'll get a character tomorrow because of mario golf.

Apparantly, Mario Golf was already released, today. :/

 

[aldelaro5]

oh lol well still can get a reveal it's been 3 weeks + it seems that we are getting new info.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Of course. But don't expect a character reveal FOR Mario Golf, a day AFTER it's released. I doubt that'd happen.

We can easily get a random reveal, though. It would be nice to get Another Franchise rep we don't have confirmed yet, like F-Zero, or Ice Climbers, or Earthbound, etc.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I'd like to remind people that Luigi's reveal was based upon a game that wasn't even released yet. Albeit, he did happen to also be revealed on a VC Mario game release. But he was still connected to Dream Team.

Basically, it can still reference a game not released yet, or well after release.

 

[Fatmanonice]

After today's spooky, scary skeleton update, I feel this week has indicated a few things:

The good news- We're back to new content and it'll probably be like it was all of March with new stuff virtually every day.
The bad news- This probably means that we won't get any characters until E3.
The good news- But this probably means that we're going to be getting another info dump at E3 like we did for the Direct.
The bad news- If this is true, the full starting roster will finally be shown meaning it will be a make or break moment for the starters from past games not shown yet.

Let's just see how tomorrow plays out...

I'll have to disagree on the last part. They could make some characters that were previously starters are unlockables. I could see Ike being an unlockable this game if he returns; same with Meta-Knight and Lucas. This, of course, assumes unlockables return.

Not necessarily- Ness and Falcon went from being unlockable to default to unlockable again. Someone like Ike or Lucas could become unlockable this time.

 

[Shroob]

I actually think there'll be at least one character this month... the question is when though. 29 feels like such an awkward number.

Only things I could see is MAYBE Meta Knight tonight with Triple Deluxe in the US, and Wario for Mario Kart, though I do feel that Mario Kart is a bit too close to E3's launch...

However, do note that Dedede used to link to the official Kirby site and then they took it down. I assume he'll get re-linked to Triple Deluxe's site, but maybe someone else as well?

Like I said, I highly doubt it, considering that we've only ever once gotten a character for a US release and Meta Knight's not even IN Triple D, but we'll see in less than 12 hours I guess.

Hell, now that Mother has been acknowledged on the site.... Ness/Lucas for MOTHER's Day?

 

[egaddmario]

Nah, just give me Lucas tomorrow and call it a day

Still odd, cuz' you'd Think he would have revealed a character for Golf today instead of waiting for tomorrow. XD

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Not really?

At this point, I've figured he doesn't really care when they're released. And finds a date that works well. Honestly, we might get no characters tomorrow. We just got 5, which is pretty good.

The comment says that he would not have revealed Luigi if not for the Year of Luigi. He was revealed in the direct for the Year of Luigi.

I can't Think of any reason he'd wait one extra day to show a character for a game that released that day. But whatever, I doubt we'll get a character anyways.
But I do expect something neat for tomorrow. Pong!

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

It's also directly connected to Dream Team. Regardless, that means he could've anyway by his own words. It's just more incentive.

Because he doesn't really care about release dates for every character? Considering when he revealed Yoshi, and Luigi...

Tomorrow'll be neat, hopefully.

It's much more likely Luigi was revealed for the announcement of the Year of Luigi though, as the comment clearly meant what it said.
Normally I wouldn't reveal Luigi before the game came out he said something along the lines of that] but "It's the Year of Luigi, so why not?"
Yoshi would not have been released on a North American release. Diddy Kong was only because the Japenese release was on the Nintendo Direct. On the SMASH direct they release some of the biggest stuff. Yoshi had a drastic change. Sakurai even said during the video that Yoshi wasn't revealed till then because of that.

The entire month of May without a character reveal seems odd. We still have 12 (15) veterans that need to be revealed; I mean, we are missing some obvious ones. Surely he will reveal at least one veteran between now and E3.

Whether likely or not, he could've revealed him for any reason. That's all I'm saying.

And my overall point; Having a game release doesn't guarantee a reveal. Plain and simple.

What was Yoshi's drastic change? Rainbow eggs? That is a clear indication that Sakurai's word should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[Bauske]

The Reaper and Ornes themes have this weird disturbing sense to them and always make me feel uneasy.

When I was a kid and played the original Kid Icarus, I was absolutely terrified of the reapers. The music that played when they saw you and that crazy dance they did creeped me out so bad I couldn't play the game any longer. I look at them now and go "what was I afraid of," but back then, I just couldn't handle them. They scared me way too bad. xD

 

[Luigi#1]

M'kay. I don't think we'll get one tomorrow necessarily.
The only chance we got is May 30th for Wario. That's it. And it's a little chance.

His upright stance.
But okay, the dude who makes the game is clearly just lying for no actual reason. Not even trolling, just, no reason.

It was his posture change. Still not drastic, but a bit more than just rainbows.

Precisely the point; the alteration wasn't dramatic. That is self-referential incoherence from Sakurai. Did everyone forget about Bowser for some reason?

Bowser=revealed at E3.
