Sakurai be like

 

[MrPanic]

Looks like a 'break the boxes' kind of minigame as replacement for the coin launcher. Good they thought up something more interesting that actually involves smash gameplay, I'm sure it will be fun.

 

[Plain Yogurt]

Clearly I was the only one who derived any enjoyment out of coin launcher. Guess I'm just a sucker for shmups, even barebone ones. I do like that they're incorporating actual gameplay into the trophy collector this time though.

Screenshot for today...

I'm surprised that no one posted this image earlier.

Looks cool.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Oh the wrench boxes could have customizable items.

Might've been better if you could get Trophies(especially new ones) at a halfway decent rate in it. All-Star Mode is about the only decent way to get a Trophy(and lucky if you're new). Stickers are everywhere instead.

Palutena needs those glasses for a taunt.

I'm in the very small camp that liked the coin launcher. I'm actually always a fan of mini-games that have nothing to do with the typical gameplay of the game.

Speaking of which, what I wouldn't give for Smash bros. to have a varied assortment of character based mini-games along the lines of the ones in the Pokémon Stadium games.

 

[KokiriKory]

The coin launcher was cool but tiresome.

I'm permanently, for the rest of my life, bitter that the last two stickers never manifested, no matter what method I used to earn them. I will always, always hate life because of this.

 

[QJD1381]

Sakurai getting more and more blatant with his trolling. What's the next logical step?

"Pic of the day. Here's a fan favorite, the gargantuan Ridley! He is a ...part of this game, to be revealed at a later date!"

 

[Cap'nChreest]

Well. its about 3 to 4 more months of stuff that was in the digital event. hype?

Spoiler

*cues the guy that says "You know you should be grateful that he even does pics and they won't always be things we already know" or something like that.

Thank. You. Sakurai.

You know you should be grateful that he even does pics. Like, gosh.

Jokes aside, I am hoping for SOMETHING. Anything new.

Man this topic is just dead tonight.

pika pika

 

[Swift Fox]

 

[BeatNinja]

...That was fast.

 

[NintendoKnight]

Why so Swift, son?

Why. So. Swift?

"Pic of the day. Pac-Man's standard special move, Bonus Fruit. As you charge this move, the bonuses will change, and all of them have different characteristics and movement patterns when thrown. The bonuses cycle in the same order as in the original game, and the charge-up period doubles once you cycle beyond the orange."

 

[Sehnsucht]

You can replace Pac-Man with @ Swift Fox and the spriteberry with the actual POTD.

 

[BeatNinja]

Swift Fox is the people's champion.

 

[Starbound]

Hopefully we're told something about what this move does because the direct made it look like it just puts something in his hand and then it disappears, which is very underwhelming.

Pac-Man is pretty OP, so they gave him a Special that's just for show to balance things out.

No please

He... He could just ignore that Special then. He would be just as OP.

Sakurai knows how ta' balance his game.

Edit: Ahhh, I had a feeling it would work like that. Kinda like Teddie's item special in Persona 4 Arena. Neato.

 

[Mamp]

I think its going to be some more details about either Pac-man or Palutena, specifically their movesets.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Cool Pac Man picture.

But it would be better if it was Wario, Meta Knight, or Ice Climbers.

Come on Sakurai reveal them already. They're not even secret characters or unlockables.

MetaKnight could be this time.

 

[Mamp]

Is this the FD version of Mushroom Kingdom U?

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

So...other Namco sprites might be from the S flag?

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Or possibly a different move.

Or possibly a custom.

Bonus Fruit, ACTIVATE

**

Dang it.

Well, now I can go to bed. Night, all.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

I wonder if you can hold the charge; that would basically make it into Samus's Charge Shot except with unique behavior at each charge level. I also wonder if these fruits are normal items like turnips that you can juggle and such. If they're just non-item projectiles and you can't hold the charge, this is going to be a really marginal move. Either other model (or even both together!) could make this very interesting.

 

[ToothiestAura]

This miiverse post amuses me. Sometimes Miiverse isn't the worst thing ever.

 

[Sehnsucht]

They shouldn't be a slave to canon. I say they expand the range of fruits Pac can summon.

Papayas, mangoes, star fruits, dragon fruits, ugli fruits, coconuts, pomegranates, gooseberries, elderberries, cantaloupes, durians, plantains, and tomatoes.

I'll never get used to tomatoes being fruit...

 

[Khoru]

I'll never get used to tomatoes being fruit...

watermelons and pumpkins are berries; strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are not

For those confused how this move might work, here's my prediction, basing on what I researched:

I went to StrategyWiki's page for Pac-Man after reading Sakurai mentioning the move having a cycle- basing on the name of the special move, Bonus Fruit might spawn these items in order, if the wiki's correct:

Once again Sakurai, along with Namdai presumably, did their research and translated the mechanics behind the bonus fruits to this move as a gimmick: what I think Sakurai meant by charge "doubling" after orange is the fruits staying much shorter time. much like what Weeginji said at the Pac-Man-board.
This comes from the Bonus Fruits after Orange becoming harder to get due having shorter time in the original Pac-Man (depending on intermissions), but provide higher points, which likely means that the items/fruits after orange are more powerful or have their own interesting attributes. Look it here.

Basing on this, I think the bonus items might be these from original Pac-Man by default, which means the parts where Pac spawns random "Namco Arcade Classics" is one of those custom versions for special moves.

I wonder what the 3rd version is... could it perhaps spawn modern Namco-characters?
