Is Meteos owned by Nintendo?

Nope. Namco.

 

[MexM]

Nope. Namco.

Oh, I see. I know Sakurai developed the first one and Namco is working on the game, but it's kinda weird that he mentioned a third party game.

So today's picture is the area in which you fight Ridley in Other M. Don't know what that means for Ridley, but it looks great.

"Pic of the day. Out of the blue, here's a new stage--the Pyrosphere from Metroid: Other M! An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…"

Either Ridley confirmation today or Ridley is a stage hazard.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

This one floored me.

Sakurai is totally trolling us. It's ripping me apart!

 

[SmashCentralOfficial]

It's a whole new stage on its own and it's gorgeous. Gg, Sakurai.

Why are people saying its Battlefield?

I don't know if my heart is ready for either....for drastically different reasons

#Nostagehazardplease

 

[DonkaFjord]

Either way what a gorgeous stage... such amazing lighting it feels pretty intense.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Seriously Ridley as a stage hazard or not, a stage hazard would be a shame on such a gorgeous stage, it'd be the best competitive stage ever, just for the looks.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

This is kinda a disappointing reveal for several reasons, but the main one is that it's based on Metroid Other M. That game is just so awful; it is by far the worst game Nintendo has ever released. Part of me always wants to elaborate, but then I realize that I actually don't have a single positive thing to say about the game and that literally every single element of it I dislike. It seriously is a game so toxic that if not completely discarded it's franchise killing bad, and seeing the game being treated as the last main game in the series (as opposed to Metroid Prime 3) is just saddening.

At the very least, the stage itself might be fine anyway. Sure it's another lava environment from a Metroid game (why they keep doing this we'll never know either), but it's obviously a dynamic stage given multiple plausible stage hazards and the platform lay-out which is asymmetric in the screenshot we saw (it's not their usual design method to make asymmetric platforms as a static environment). It could play just fine, and while most of the environment is really generic looking (like every environment in Other M really), the lava effect looks really nice at least.

 

[vicgur]

Well, I hate this stage.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Yeah, I have a heavy dislike for Other M too, though I'd hardly call it the worst Nintendo game ever, at least it had enjoyable gameplay (though everything else pretty much sucked.) While the environments were very uninspired and unmemorable, I still think this is the one memorable location, and I'm glad it was chosen. Plus, Samus' Other M design is best for Smash Bros, she looks so much more sleak and agile, unlike her Brawl counterpart which looks heavy and clunky, and the Melee model which looks like an action figure.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

People hating on the stage just because it's from Other M?

Ya'll can't let go can you?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Either Ridley confirmation today or Ridley is a stage hazard.

We'll get a confirmation of his role in this game soon for sure, but even if he doesn't get confirmed today it doesn't mean he isn't a character, they could hold out for Friday, or heck, even a September announcement. The only time we can rule him out as a character is once we see him as a stage hazard.

 

[IsmaR]

Ironically before the reveal/seeing how sexy it looks, I absolutely hated the idea of the Geothermal Plant being the Other M stage just because of the wasted potential (generic "you fight best boss in the game here" even if Ridley is awesome, was already in DoA: Dimensions complete with Ridley as a hazard, as someone stated another lava Metroid level, etc.). I'm at least glad they called it Pyrosphere.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Yeah, it's a bit lame that it's just the same location, but honestly, it's just the most memorable location, and it makes for a great fighting stage. This one blows the DoA: Dimensions one out of the water though.

 

[Psymon]

Well, I hate this stage.

WHHHAAAATTTT?! It looks incredible! The length of it will probably favour projectie-spammers, but aside from that, it looks fairly well balanced. Hopefully there won't be any OVERLY-obstructive stage-hazards *crosses fingers*
SMILE, DUDE!

 

[Terrazi Terrajin]

Ridley please.



Sakurai, don't be a trolling douchebag.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I can't decide if this is a good or bad thing for Ridley's chances.

On one hand, the stage may regulate Ridley to a stage hazard thus continuing the injustice against Ridley.

On the other hand, Sakurai's usually vague comment could possibly indicate that Ridley might be revealed as a playable character fairly soon.

Regardless, using Bowser as a placeholder for Ridley was awful, disgusting yet genius and sinister all rolled into one.

And despite my dislike of Other M, this is one sick stage!!

 

[vicgur]

Guys, I don't really hate the stage. It looks gorgeous. I bet I'll be playing a lot on it.
But the possibility of a Ridley stage hazard really, really sucks.
Oh well.

Also, the ambiguity of the update is impressive.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Yeah, when I saw that it was Bowser I first felt like I had been punched, then I smiled because it's just so Sakurai, then I felt like I was being rolled around, and now I have no idea what to make of it.

 

[DonkaFjord]

Other M is going to be where most of the metroid representation comes from this time around at least style/design wise. It was the last game in the series but they may throw a bone to older fans (Especially with how disliked Other M was.) I know it bothers some people but it isn't that bad. I mean this could push a new more likeable HD metroid especially since we are getting a sampling of how beautiful these universes would be on the wiiu.

 

[New_Dumal]

Pic of the day. Out of the blue, here's a new stage--the Pyrosphere from Metroid: Other M! An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…


Sorry guys, but I think Ridley will be a stage hazard.
I never wanted him as a character anyway ;P Sakurai makes a great job in the Stage...
Very good stuff.

 

[Crap-Zapper]

I never been a fan of Metorid stages in the past Smash Games. Really disliked them all, cept for the lava in Melee... So I'm really looking forward to this stage. It is the best looking Metroid and probobly the whole game's (atleast up til now)

The main problem with Other M was the story anyways, and it's not like that's gonna be carried over into Smash Bros in any way but trophy references. I personally saw it coming, but I'm still surprised by how good Samus and this stage looks.

 

[Ixbran]

Ya'll can't let go can you?

I know right? Seriously people need to just stop getting upset over trivial things like that.

I think the stage it self looks wonderful, and cant wait to see what news we might be getting soon. Even without a story mode, every time we learn something new my hype goes back up again a little at a time.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Wow, Ridley seriously deconfirmed? I was just getting hyped for seeing him, considering this is his stage after all.

Ah well.

All the more room for MANthony Higgs! Remember him?

 

[Arcadenik]

IMO, complaining about Metroid stages always having lava is like complaining about Ice Climber stages always having ice.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Brinstar was a regular stage for a while in Brawl. I liked the stage in both Brawl and Melee (moreso in Brawl though). And this stage doesn't look half as bad. Perhaps Ridley will cause some havock that will make the stage unplayable.

 

[Arteen]

There is waaay more to Metroid than lava levels.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

He's not deconfirmed yet, since Sakurai could refer either way. And for the best I'm gonna keep silent about your Anthony comment for once, it's for the best right now

 

[D-idara]

PLEASE, SAKURAI, RIDLEY AS A CHARACTER...Don't do it...don't turn him into a stage hazard...
Please... He's like number-one on the polls, he's never been too big. And I still wonder why they didn't use Phaaze, although there were two Metroid stages in Brawl, would love to see Phaaze.

"Pic of the day. Out of the blue, here's a new stage--the Pyrosphere from Metroid: Other M! An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…"

Not sure if I like the sound of this....

Are there any other enemies from Samus's past that I don't know about besides Ridley? I never played a Metroid game, or at least not much, sue me.

This was the place you fought Ridley at in Metroid: Other M, which is why it's so certainly a hint towards Ridley.

 

[Curious Villager]

Oh... well that does make Ridley the most likely of being that enemy Sakurai was referring to. Hopefully not but I'm not very sure now. I guess we will have to wait and see then. :/

 

[D-idara]

Then again, Sakurai worded it in a way that could mean either a stage hazard or a character reveal, especially with the starting "Out of the blue, here's a new stage"

And "An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…" could also go both ways.

 

[BaPr]

Can someone post the picture of the Metroid stage?

You should be able to see it in the first page but oh well, here it is.

It shows a picture of luigi throwing the blade. Is something wrong with my laptop?
