Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

[MopedOfJustice]

The fact that the Donkey Kong series dwarfs the Kirby series sales-wise, always has for decades now, and the fact that the name "Donkey Kong" is part and parcel with Nintendo's arguably most iconic game of all-time, one that may never be topped. Again, Donkey Kong appearing in tennis and golf games with Mario doesn't invalidate the complete uniqueness of his franchise as a separate entity from Mario. Also, great job actually pulling up a poll, but that's looking at who's popular within the game of Smash (Brawl, it seems), not who should have objectively been portrayed as one of Nintendo's most iconic four characters back during the original SSB's 1999 development.

Some guy said that none of this actually matters on the last page, and I agree, I'm just trying to give some perspective as to how fortunate the Kirby series is that its creator is Smash's director, and how this grants it some additional perks in terms of content that it otherwise might not enjoy.

In fairness, a lot of Smash is derived from the Kirby series. Brawl's menu, achievments and stage/character select are all from Air Ride. Melee's too, to a lesser extent.
(Also, the whole "platform fighting based on combinations of moves through single-button-and-directional-input," all of SSE, the guard bubble and a few other things, but that's besides the point.)

I know that we've been talking about DK vs. Kirby for a while, but...

I really hope Dedede gets confirmed tomorrow. He seems like the ideal character to bask in the glory of in a hi-def game based around primary colors. His color scheme was a little bland in Brawl, but this game is just too vibrant.

I agree in terms of the mechanics of the game, though I do have to say, some of the more common complaints I see about the SSE in Brawl are that it's "a watered-down Kirby Super Star" and "It's the Kirby, Meta Knight and Dedede Show, featuring the other 36 characters."

My prediction for the Triple Deluxe-related pic (wheter it is shown tonight or the next week) is a photo strip (like the one which featured Villager planting, watering and axing the tree) which show us how Kirby looks like after inhaling Megaman, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer and Rosalina.

Yes. It did have some aspects of a slow Kirby game, though, in a contest of Kirby games, it still ranks higher for me than RTDL's main story.
It was more like a "more violent Kirby's Dreamland 3." (Btw, several SSE mechanics are from that game, most notably Player 2 turning into a comet and shooting to P1 on-command or when he strays too far away.)
I wish it could have been a watered down SSU, that would still be mind-bendingly awesome.
As-is, I enjoyed SSE, even if it was essentially Kirby, Lucas and Those Other People.

If we don't get Dedede, I would be very content with this.

Bandana Dee will be shown tomorrow.

Lot higher than Kirby.

Mario Kart at the bottom of the list? This looks pretty fake to me.

Edit: also, this list was "last edited: 1 hour go"

 

[ZeldaMaster]

Hopefully we get DDD today. On an unrelated note, I just wanted to mention the dearth of Pokemon in Smash 4. When do you think we'll get more Pokemon related Smash info?

Considering that Game Freak is pulling all the strings with the Pokemon, very little, if any.

Well how about this? MKWii alone sold nearly triple what the other site claims the whole franchise sold.

EDIT: Due to me being stupid.

Donkey Kong is still above Kirby though.

Though it can be a bit later if we get something big.

Listening to this...

Why does it fit so well...

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Might as well even tho i'm late, something kirby related.

 

[CroonerMike]

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Come on, Great King!!!

 

[CroonerMike]

I bet Sakurai is watching us right now. So instead of Dedede, we will get Meta Knight :D...

 

[Radical Bones]

What if... the Dragoon is confirmed to be returning. No Dedede but worst item ever?

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

I kind of hope King Dedede isn't shown





...I don't want the Dedede love to end.

 

[Shroob]

I kind of hope King Dedede isn't shown





...I don't want the Dedede love to end.

It'll never end. Dedede's girth is too thick for any mere mortal.

I'll always think dedede is cool don't worry, he's a pimp after all.

 

[andalsoandy]

I really want Meta Knight's boss theme from Super Star in the game. I don't get how it wasn't in Brawl.

Not quite as upbeat as the other songs, I guess.

Not even in an arrangement though. It totally could have slipped right into that Boss medley.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

This is King Dedede realizing he could be revealed tonight:

 

[Rosalina suporter]

hope hes revealed tonight!!
