@---: And I'm guessing you are... right.
It would seem I'm right. :laugh:

I can't wait to start putting up my ideas for Mewtwo. Less "I AM MEWTWO *tail whip yea"
--- might like to hear that I'm implementing the Spoon Staff :D
Well I'll be looking forward to hearing some new ideas. Also it's a sword, not a staff. :p

Too bad the spoon sword reminds me of Dig Ems the HoneySmacks frog.

Eh, Mewtwo needs to use Electro Ball this time. Reason? For another well done troll :troll:
(The move sucks on Mewtwo, if you didn't know)

Only Mewtwo is bad *** enough to be able to eat with a sword. :troll:

Not likely. The one thing that is true is that Nintendo has stated the Wii U tablets will not be sold individually. What this means is having another tablet will require someone else already owning a Wii U console.

Do not forget, the Wii U can still use Wiimotes. For at least the first couple of years I expect there to remain a heavy reliance on Wiimotes as a great deal of people purchasing Wii U consoles likely own a Wii. Meaning many will have access to Wiimotes, and to a lesser extent Classic Controllers.
That may change. They may sell them seperately too. Especially if people have trouble with theirs/breaks theirs. And some games may require it. It's a bad idea not to sell the controller after all.

And any people only buying the Wii U without having a Wii won't have those controllers. There's honestly no excuse anymore. If they can have it use two, they should sell them. Sure, they'll sell lot hotcakes, but there's no reason not to.

Also, I was definitely talking about asexual as in the sexuality, not the type of relationship. I think it's like, less than 1% of the population is even asexual. I'VE MET ONE. He was a jerk.

Anyways, Smash. Yes. I think some characters should have unique entrances together.

Like Mario vs. Bowser

Or Link and Zelda/Sheik vs. Ganondorf

SOMETHING like that.
Asexuals? We call 'em Papal Priests, lulz. :troll:

As for unique entrances, you mean like taunting or addressing your foe before a match=??? That could be cool I guess.

Mario to Bowser: Hello de Bowser.
Luigi to Mario: Yo bro.
Peach to Mario: MARRRIOOO!!!!
Mario to Yoshi: Hello there Yoshi!
Diddy Kong at Donkey Kong: *does an impersonation of Donkey Kong showing off his strength*
Snake (at Toon Link): You'll never be as stealthy as me.
Snake when facing Sheik: Not another ninja!
Ganondorf when facing Toon Link: Epic Wind Waker laugh.
Zero Suit Samus to Mr. Game and Watch: What.... are... you!?!?!?
Zero Suit Samus to Ridley: TIME TO DIE!!!
Fox to Wolf: Time to beat you again, eh Star Wolf?
Falco to Fox: Time to remind you who's best.
Falcon facing Zero Suit Samus: OHHHHH YEAAAHHH!!!!
Lucas when facing Ness: I'll be brave...
Pokémon Trainer facing Pikachu: What... Pikachu?
Ike to Marth: Bow to my Aether!
Mewtwo to Ness: You psychic abilities fail to impress me.
Mewtwo to Lucario: I am the strongest psychic Pokémon of them all!
Sonic to Mario: I'm still stronger!
Sonic to Luigi: Wait, you aren't Mario!
Sonic to Captain Falcon: I'll show you who's the fastest.
Snake to Sonic: I CAN'T STAND YOU!!!

Also, I know E3 will still be early for Smash Wii U and 3DS, but honestly, assuming Mega Man is in one or both games, his entrance needs to be at least half as epic as Sonic's. Seriously, this video confirming Sonic still gives me chills at how epic his entrance was!

Could you imagine a Mega Man entrance as awesome as that=??? Hopefully no one's head explodes. When Sonic was confirmed in Brawl, it created a warp in time about 10 years before Sonic was confirmed, causing Sarah Jessica Parker's face to explode. Needless to say, she's been pretty ugly ever since! :laugh:

I highly doubt they will sell these separately. From the technical specifications I am hearing those alone would raise the cost of a Wii U tablet well above what anyone desires to invest into a controller. Nintendo will likely treat the tablet much like the system in that the tablet will probably be under a warranty.

You are talking about a small minority compared to a much greater one. Having two controllers is not going to be the norm, rather a luxury for select titles.

While certainly bad, it is not as bleak as the article presents it. Given the state of the global market, and Japan's in particular, I am not too suprised. Things will pick up over the holiday season as they typically do.

Dig Em wins.

He has the best motto ever. "Smack, Smack, gimme a smack and I'll Smack ya back!". It's a curse. Kills instantly.

Dig Em > Voldemort in spellcasting.

Except I'm not. What makes you think most new games won't use it? And really? People pay money out their *** for a lot of things. They pay for Kinect. They pay for extremely pricey games that are only that way for the graphics. It's no different here. A lot their stuff is still in the 30's. Even if it's 30 per Tablet, people will STILL pay that amount. If it means having another controller that's easy to use, they'll do it. Especially considering a lot of people actually like holding a single controller with both their hands. It's a money maker to have it be available.

They have multiple markets to appeal to. The Tablet appeals to the hardcore market, or any classic gamer. Price isn't an issue for people. They already know that.

The cost for the Wii U tablet alone could reach about $79.99 or $89.99 (might even be more with flash memory in the picture) depending upon the hardware Nintendo decides to implement into the final version. At least with Kinect you are paying for multiple controllers in one, so a comparison is not very valid though I know what you are insinuating.

If price was not an issue Satoru Iwata would not have stated that the reason they are not selling it individually is due to cost.

Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata, has commented on the confusion and said, "Technically, it is possible for the Wii U to support multiple Wii U Controllers."

But due to this being a considerable price to the customer and with Nintendo not planning on having people buying more controllers, the focus is primarily on one."
Technically≠Likely

As I stated before, the Wii can technically do a lot of things it does not.

It doesn't have a DVD app because it wears down the system fast. Only reason. Hackers proved that.

Also, they may not be planning it, but that COULD change. You're saying they definitely won't. I'm saying they might. That's the difference here. I never said they will, but they should. If your Tablet breaks, you have to send it in. And if it's a game that requires it, YOU'RE SCREWED. There's two solutions: Make every game that uses the Tablet compatible with the Classic Controller, or sell Tablets. The second one makes customers more happy. That's pretty obvious. And trust me, they would pay that much if it they had to.

The main topic is talking about nothing... or a game that won't come out for another four to six years... :awesome: :cool: :reverse: :troll:

As for those numbers, don't let them skew you. Japan is still recovering from their tsunamis and earthquakes a few months ago. Once the holidays come, their economy will get better, and once their nation's architecture and business is running as usual, their economy will eventually return to what it was.

The only thing Japan has to worry about is it's national debt (which is at about $20,000 per person, much higher than any other nation's), but that is likely to go down in the near future. The reason that is so high is again, because of the earthquakes and tsunamis a few months ago.

And dang it, why do people want a DVD player on the Wii U=??? DVDs will be gone in the next five years, replaced by Blu-Rays, 3D Blu-Rays or whatever those things are called, the next generation of home movies, and above all, live direct movie streaming. DVDs are about as relevant now as VHS' were 7 years ago. They will be gone soon... for better or worse. :reverse:

"The sanity of the plan is of no consequence." It may not make sense, but everything I am saying is what Nintendo and their spokesman have stated. I've never said that having multiple Wii U tablets will never be implemented, just that it will not be often. As of now Nintendo has no plans to release the Wii U tablet as the issue is in cost. Since those are likely related to some of the features of the Wii U tablet I don't forsee that changing.

We shall agree to disagree mi amigo. Todo esta bien. Need to speak properly...

I'm not predicting anything unless they actually say "We will NOT be making more." They didn't set it in stone. They only said that they might not currently.

That's why I look at the exact words before going with a verdict. While I don't believe they'll sell it, I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch. It's always a bad idea to pretend something is set in stone when it isn't. That's the entire point of saying "no plans", so they can change their minds without being hypocrites. Nothing to call them out on here.

But dropped then.

ZELDA CANNOT RECOVER WITH LAG.

ALSO, I killed myself because someone was at my door that one time.

ALSO ALSO, you're not very nice for attacking me when I accidentally transformed. Jerk.


Basically, I could rant WHY lag sucks, and how it doesn't read my inputs correctly/at all, and how anything that needs to be done PERCISELY or else you'll be punished, is always punished, but I won't. Because we all know lag sucks.

My mind was initially blown by how laggy the Wii's online was when playing Brawl.

Now I just sigh and say... "WHY FIIII!!!!!" :reverse: :troll: :088:

The only people who I ever had half a frame connection average (as in 30 fps instead of 60, which was my best) were Metroid Man, a bunch of Wario mains (many who were at one point or another one of the top 10 Warios in the world), and a bunch of people in Michigan (it's like my online is connected where I was conceived), lulz. :grin: :) :cool: :laugh: :chuckle:

I knew you would do that.

Look at the match-up. Zelda(No Sheik) vs. Lucario, and I still managed to have you on the ropes most of the time. The problem lies with which character is hurt more by lag. It's Zelda. My moves are easily punished, and I definitely cannot recover for crap if the game isn't reading my exact inputs.

You're not as good as you pretend to be. IRL, I'm confident I could beat you. This is coming from a Zelda user.

I've posted this on Nsider and Gamefaqs, so I will post it here and start gauging everyone's selections.

This poll is to see what post-Brawl Wii game you want to see a stage taken from for the next Super Smash Bros title. My recommendation is to look through the choices listed above so you can have a good feel for the choice you wish to make, but it is up to you. Feel free to comment and discuss your reasoning for your selection, or simply state your selection. If there is a Nintendo game, and yes it must be from Nintendo, not listed that you want to vote for let me know and I will discuss including it. As of now I believe I have most all of the big names listed, but I could always be mistaken. Have fun and hopefully this will garner a good turnout.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Super Mario Galaxy
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Kirby's Return To Dreamland
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Metroid: Other M
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Poképark Wii
Wario Land: Shake It
Wii Sports Resort
Punch Out!!
Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
Rythym Heaven Wii
Endless Ocean
Excitebots
FlingSmash
Xenoblade
The Last Story
Pandora's Tower


Copy and paste because I am too lazy.

Aww, come on, Shortie, my awesome face was just kidding ;) Besides, I am good. I just won a tourny with really good players. Beat all 10 of them in 11 minutes. But I'm still learning, so...

NWMBWii (I would love a Bowser' Airship/Desert level)

Endless Ocean (I have no idea what this game is about, but it sounds level worthy)

The Last Story (The artstyle would make an amazing stage)



NO. I choose an Endless Ocean stage. It's now my most wanted new stage.

I should clarify that it should only be ONE selection. I did not have to specify this on Nsider because the poll already took care of that detail for me.

Tough call Star.

But after some thought, and remembering what Sakurai stated about Miis, I'll have to go with Wii Sports Resort.

EDIT: Are you going to do a DS one?

All Endless Ocean songs would be by OceanLab. They make me want to fall into the Ocean and drift away~ Just like that game makes me want to do.

If we get an Endless Ocean stage, does that mean I can hop on whales and punch sharks.
You can do that in Hawaii, I did.
