? August 7th? it comes out Wii U VC July 30th were not in August Yet and 15 plus 14 = 29 not 30 so I'm a bit confused by your comment
Oh, my bad. It would make much more sense for Sakurai to focus on the more relevant Japanese release of the Wii U port when it comes to revealing him. As for my math being off, I was also focusing on my Mario Kart TV Upload. :lol:

No Isaac is the case for me, plus King K. Rool and Ridley.

I would not mind this roster because of Takamaru; otherwise, I want more character reveals than that.
I Was saddened by no Isaac but Shulk Marshal Takamaru The Avatar from Animal Crossing and the Wii Fit Trainers were on my Top 5 so that would mean all of them got in So I'm extremely happy about them but I can understand no K.Rool Ridley or Mewtwo Perhaps we will get a Villain Trio Pack for the Smash Bros 5?

At times like this, I REALLY hope that Sakurai and the Namco Team at least has DLC content in mind after the game's release. That way, everyone's happy and there will be no flame wars between certain supporters.

Also, I'll add you to the support list if you aren't there yet.

Didn't the leak predict a comic con reveal though? Or was that the other one?

Your In Luck I'm actually Friends with the Leaker you could say and I asked her some questions and she said That DLC Is possible but they want to put enough Content into the Game then they can worry about DLC

mmm come to think about it, a possibility of a villians trailer + the return of takamaru would be like THE MOST HYPE THING EVER!!!!

We can consider greninja and even sheik a "villian" at this point, just think about it :rotfl:
I still think is fake though.

Don't worry, I was just joking a little. I'm just mostly laughing at the people who even expected a character reveal at Comic-Con in the first place.

@ 4cast 4cast We'll be seeing how things actually go next week since it would be pretty exciting to see a Direct revealed that early.

Hello dudes been lurking for a little, wanted to say I defiantly support Takumaru for smash and I'am hyped for his game that's coming soon. At first I didn't know who Takumaru was, I heard his name a few times and wonder why people wanted him, after reading the op, the idea grew on me over time, now I really want him to be in it. I even got Samurai Warriors 3 just to play as him! Also his sword style is my favorite, reminds me of Vergil from Devil May Cry :grin:

Welcome to the club and look out for any enemy ninjas while you're here.

Dat video. I highly doubt that the Kremling King's Krew would mind if we had used their video anyway. :troll:

Ever since Takamaru's Ninja Castle in Nintendo Land, I always thought that now is the best time to bring back Takamaru. With the news of the localisation of Nazo no Murasamejō, it's really making me want Takamaru in Smash Bros. He'd fit in quite well, and it'd be a great way to revive the series, just like the revival of Kid Icarus.

I am in full support for Takamaru in Super Smash Bros! :D

Not releasing for both systems at the same time is weird. Maybe they don't want people complaining for the lack of cross buy?

You guys talk so much about this villains trailer that it will most likely never happen. It is already jinxed.

You can unlock things for 3ds then transfer them. It's a devilish business strategy!

It's probably to give a bit of time to convince people who own the 3DS version to buy the other as well.

I think Hong was referring to Mysterious Murasame Castle, not Smash... I think. If not, then I take back what I said in the other post, because cross-buy wouldn't really make sense for different games.

Thanks for the support and congratulations for being our 100th supporter. Let Takamaru have the honor of doing the fireworks for this celebration!

Do you guys see Takamaru's stage being on top of Murasame Castle, inside it, or outside it in the garden?

Rooftop since it's pretty climatic for a battle, but who says that they can't show a garden before the castle actually succumbs to *in Xehanort's voice* darkness.

@ bksbestbwoy bksbestbwoy This link should show you his entire moveset from the game. http://koei.wikia.com/wiki/Takamaru

Cross Post from NeoGAF's Mysterious Murasame Castle.

I'm going to be legit with myself here.

Takamaru is one of my most wanted character to be playable character in Smash for many reasons but I will leave that in SmashGAF Thread. Right now, I'm trying to keep my hype in check because I have a feeling that Takamaru could miss his boat being in Smash Bros. I really hope that it's otherwise.

Pre-Gematsu, I was pretty sure that Takamaru would be in Smash Bros this time because I strongly felt that Nintendo is working on reviving Takamaru's franchise, Mysterious Murasame Castle.

Takamaru have been appearing in the games lately.

1. There is a sticker of Takamaru in Super Smash Bros Brawl
2. Takamaru appeared in Captain Rainbow, along with Little Mac.
3. WarioWare DYI (Japanese only) had a mini game based on Mysterious Murasame Castle
4. Takamaru appeared in Samurai Warrior 3 as Guest Character.
5. Nintendo added Mysterious Murasame Castle as one of few franchises to be in NintendoLand

I felt that Nintendo was giving Takamaru and his franchise a recognition that it deserved to have. When I heard that they are bringing the game out of Japan which boosted my excitement and hype for the game itself. Also Kamiya spoke out on twitter and expressed his interests to revving the franchise. (Yeah, I'm somewhat exaggerated my comment but yeah you get my draft. ;P)



With what I have been saying, I really hope that Nintendo would request Sakurai to included Takamaru in Smash or other way around via vera. Hopefully Nintendo have an intention to give Mysterious Murasame Castle a reboot feeling as sequel, like they did with Kid Icarus: Uprising.

I'm still hoping that Sakurai would notice that Takamaru being in Captain Rainbow since he actually dug out Fat Mac's model from Captain Rainbow and made it as trophy for Wii U version. Just make my day please, Sakurai.

For pete's sake, they already have icon ready for Smash 4. It was in NintendoLand.





Do you guys see Takamaru's stage being on top of Murasame Castle, inside it, or outside it in the garden?
I always imaged that it would happens at the Garden where the ninjas would pop out and disappear. I'm not sure if I want them to throw ninja tools at the characters because people wouldn't pick the stage if there are a lot of stage hazards. Hmmm.

Honestly, I'd rather have Sakurai make Return to the Murasame Castle than Kamiya (though I really wouldn't mind him working on it).

What event matches do you guys expect Takamaru to participate in in Super Smash Brothers 4?

One of the main ones we'd usually talk about is him facing Sheik and Greninja to reenact Murasame Castle (since the later two are both ninjas).

Another idea I've thought of was a match with Samus, Pit, and Link against him. Being the battle of the 1986 Famicom Fighters and all.

Why not have Sheik attack Takamaru and get beaten up badly only to have Link come and try to rescue his princess? :D

The end could have Sheik, Link, and Takamaru calmly sitting down and drinking tea. :awesome:

Not gonna lie, but that literally made me choke on my green tea when reading this. And don't worry, I'm still alive like Sakurai would say. :laugh:

The segment from the stream that confirms Mysterious Murasame Castle's release, details Takamaru as a character and shows some gameplay is up on Nintendo's official YouTube channel.

I still think they did a LOT of lip service for this one. I'd like to hear what you all think though.

Honestly, I'd rather have Sakurai make Return to the Murasame Castle than Kamiya (though I really wouldn't mind him working on it).
Kamiya made both Devil May Cry and Okami. A Mysterious Murasame Castle revival in his hands would essentially be the hyper active/twitch based combat of DMC with the aesthetic of Okami (or a further stylized version of the NintendoLand look for maximum iconography). I don't see a situation where Kamiya's game doesn't turn out to be the best choice. No offense to Sakurai. :p
