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

[JCAndre]

I wouldn't be surprised if the stage builder tool doesn't come back at all.

Yeah that was just an example. I was referring more to me saying Sakurai will use this week to show us things we will be seeing at E3.

 

[PurpleSpaceDragon]

The updates this week will keep getting more hype as the week goes on. Friday will be something huge.

Maybe Monday, June 9 will be even bigger than Friday!

 

[Kenith]

Well, its not a SM3DW stage, but it looks good, and hopefully it will have some SM3DW music!

And we got a disconfirmation as a nice bonus!

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

...I meant Kamek would be playable and Kammy would replace him in the NSMB level if he was being used. Like how Alphonse replaces Toon Link on the Spirit Tracks stage.

What's silly about the Alfonzo thing is that Spirit Tracks Link was never the same being as Wind Waker Link in the first place, so there wasn't really a reason to replace him...other than clearing up potential confusion for people who don't know that ST Link is WW Link's descendant, I guess.

Anyway, I'm not sure if the background character swapping thing will occur with Kamek, or any other characters as far as I know. It might just be for the Spirit Train.

I wonder if this week will be all about "you'll see this also in the demo" or "in the tournament" or "at E3" to build up to that haha.

I certainly wouldn't mind that. I'd love a "build-up week".

Wonder if Nabbit will appear as a stage hazard.

Personally what I found weirdest is that they felt the need to change the background Link when you can have up to 4 of the same character being played at the same time and no damns are given. But if the same character is being played and part of the stage, that just doesn't make any sense apparently.

Clearly they just really wanted to include Alfonzo somehow.

This was always my thought. It's suddenly insane if to suggest a character in more then one role because of logic that has no place in this game's discussion in the first place.

 

[Staarih]

I don't see why they couldn't just have Alfonzo be there all the time, would have been less of a hassle.

 

[Katy Parry]

Oh my god. I love everything about this stage! It's so gorgeous! Didn't expect it at all!

 

[AustarusIV]

A new stage that will be playable at E3? That's really cool. Does this mean that it will be in the Best Buy demos as well?

 

[Katy Parry]

Already love this stage. Awesome update.

I am a big NSMB fan, so this one is wonderful. It better have a lava version, as well as a Ghost House version, Painted Forest version, etc. It should have 7 versions, with one Koopaling appearing in every one, in some form.

YES GHOST HOUSE VERSION OMG

A new stage that will be playable at E3? That's really cool. Does this mean that it will be in the Best Buy demos as well?

I'm 95% sure, because we're most likely getting the same demo they are...it wouldn't seem right if they got special treatment and we didn't. People would complain.

But, he does say at the E3 expo. The demo will most likely be playable at E3 as well.

 

[GamerGuy09]

This stage seems to be legal. I'm not sure completely because of the spiny urchin, to the right of the water stage. Do you think that's enough to get this stage banned? I hope not because it looks to be pretty fun even in competitive.

 

[Artorias]

Well, you guys are gettin special treatment over people who don't live in the US/near a best buy. People will complain anyways about a lack of demo's in the eShop

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Eh, not a bad stage. I'm basically convinced at this point that we'll never get that long-awaited Bowser's Castle stage, though.

 

[GamerGuy09]

I really hope this stage is legal. I mean, isn't Halberd legal and that has hazards to right? I don't see why this wouldn't be legal either if that's the case.

The only true hazard we've seen is those urchins from the sides. And I'm thinking that the side water pillars will raise and lower kind of like those platforms on Brawl's Yoshi Island. However it is likely that the Urchin will switch from side to side randomly each time they appear.

I'm thinking we will get 4 worlds. It would be crazy to get more than that in my opinion, the rest will probably be a Sky World, and a Lava World.

 

[Silvera]

I'm not one to complain but it does suck that there won't be an eshop demo.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So....

Is Kamek the boss?

 

[Shaya]

I really must expect/hope the game to be really fast paced (in terms of movement options), lest we have Fox in Melee and Meta Knight in brawl levels of character stage dominance. Those platforms in the first picture could be really easy to platform camp with, although there looks to be 7 platforms on there (going by mario/megaman standing on that cliff thing).

Then we get to the second picture, which looks like you could throw people towards the right part of the stage to get "spiked". People can be really picky about such things, especially if it can kill, if it comes up randomly, etc

A stage like this with current (brawl) character paradigms would probably turn illegal, but who knows. If the spike ball thing isn't horrendous, if the fact that 7 platforms negate the "king of the castle" platform camping, and other transformations aren't that different, could be a solid counter pick.
I really admire the textures, the flip blocks in the first transformation look so much sexier than Yoshi's Island Melee.

Question, isn't Halberd legal in Brawl and doesn't that also have hazards? I don't see how this would be that different, especially because it doesn't seem to be Pictochat level of hazards.

I'm pretty sure that the water pillars will both randomly come up at the same time, with the Urchin switching sides each time.

In my opinion this looks a lot more legal than Poke Stadium 1, just because it seems to not have walls of any kind, which is amazing.

I REALLY hope this is a counter-pick.

Also I think those 7 platforms might be invincible and solid, so you cannot stand under them and kill from above.

So....

Is Kamek the boss?

That seems to not be the case. As Sakurai only states he will come and change the stage, not that he will cast spells at the players.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Eh, not a bad stage. I'm basically convinced at this point that we'll never get that long-awaited Bowser's Castle stage, though.

What if this stage has a bowsers castle form :O

 

[FreeFallUp]

So....

Is Kamek the boss?

Might just be the instigator/perpetrator of a regular stage hazard.

Also, while I'm here, new stage means new info. Sakurai, I hope dis week iz excite!

 

[AdaptiveTrigger]

I'm not one to complain but it does suck that there won't be an eshop demo.

I'm not one to complain either, but I would think a downloadable demo would make a lot of sense from a business standpoint. People who already have a 3DS and Wii U would be able to play an early build. I'd be willing to bet that is the type of offer that would sell some 3DS handhelds and Wii U consoles by itself. I guess they see it as more beneficial to have people at Best Buy for people to make early preorders.

 

[Staarih]

How many different worlds are there usually in New Super Mario Bros. games? I could see the stage turning into lots of different ones, but a lava version and desert/sand version seem pretty likely to me at least.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

So....

Is Kamek the boss?

Nope. In fact, it might just be a regular Magikoopa. Magikoopa(the race) is named Kamek in Japan. Let's be honest, the translator may not have known this. So it's easily just a generic guy changing it.

Of course, I think Kamek and Magikoopa have somewhat different designs, so the actual videos should tell us exactly if it's literally Kamek or just another Magikoopa. Although they are annoyingly hard to tell apart, but eh.

I won't pretend Kamek himself had much of a chance, though.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Nope. In fact, it might just be a regular Magikoopa. Magikoopa(the race) is named Kamek in Japan. Let's be honest, the translator may not have known this. So it's easily just a generic guy changing it.

Unlikely, because normal old Magikoopas are enemies in Smash Run.

 

[Artorias]

I think the bestbuy over demo on the eshop is pretty dumb, specially since they can limit the number of uses you give to a demo on the 3ds. For example, i don't live in the us, i live in Argentina, there's literally no way for me to try smash before release. I still hope they give us a demo later on

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Unlikely, because normal old Magikoopas are enemies in Smash Run.

That doesn't make it unlikely at all. A regular Magikoopa changing a stage? Not weird either. All of them can do magic, so that doesn't mean a thing.

 

[Xavier :D]

Whoa....New Stage..?!? ON A MONDAY?!?!

 

[NintendoKnight]

Whoa....New Stage..?!? ON A MONDAY?!?!

E3 prep week, bro!

Get hype!

 

[Homelessvagrant]

This stage seems fun enough. I could see myself frequently going to it assuming there isn't some hidden broken mechanic in it.

 

[mygamecube]

New stage looks extremely dope.

Playable at E3 demo? Looks like I'll be playing this boy at Best Buy in a couple weeks.

 

[FalKoopa]

Now this is the kind of platform-based Mario stage I wanted, not the barren wasteland from Brawl. This is one of my favourite stages shown so far.

 

[Baskerville]

I'm starting to think we are going to get a lot of good pics before E3 comes around.
Only 1 week, people!

 

[Shaya]

Yes there are hazards on Halberd. Is Halberd legal? Less and less so, but for the majority of Brawl's life time sure. You can blame Meta Knight for eventually forcing it into exclusion. But Halberd's hazards were very very slow and wasn't too strong, while the other was also very slow and easy to SDI to avoid getting taken out by the strong last hit. If its that type of hazard, than it could be fine.
Sharking isn't fun, especially when no other character can really combat it and MK's is the best, and oh, MK's also the best character in the game. (Replace MK with Fox, and sharking with "pew pew pew pew pew")

And you can't tell how the hazard will go at all, you're assuming so many things here. Its got spikes. We can assume it hurts. We can't assume how much it hurts, how often it comes up, why it comes up, etc.

No walls are good, but they aren't necessarily centralising. They aren't the reasons that people don't like Delfino Plaza, Green Greens, briefly on Frigate, etc. Yes Dedede's gotchu, but not everyone has infinite chain grabs.

Yoshi's Island Brawl had randomly rising off stage platforms, in similar position to the Urchin. People hated that platform for many reasons, it got in the way of recovering and gimping and it was random. If that urchin actually kills, and comes up randomly? I don't think people will give the stage a chance based off of that.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I wonder if walking into the water spouts will send you to the top of them like they do in NSMBU?

 

[JForseti]

I guess they see it as more beneficial to have people at Best Buy for people to make early preorders.

Give it time, I'm in Australia and I have my fingers crossed for an announcement of some form of downloadable demo at the E3. This for now is hopefully just to build hype for the E3 itself. They never release downloadable demos before a release date.

But back on topic, I actually really enjoy the looks of this stage. I was afraid it was a moving stage at first. Excited to see what other different areas it can turn into.

 

[Frostwraith]

New stage from NSMBU... It looks great and I really like how it changed between worlds.

This and the 3D Land stage on the 3DS version really do the Mario games' world justice.

 

[Reila]

Beautiful stage. It could have been a stage of 3D World instead, but anyway.

Also, the "WAH WAH"s of the soundtrack of the game was the first thing I thought about after seeing the picture.
