NintenZone Social Thread: Shovel Knight Amiibo Hype Catastrophe (feat. Swamp)

[GamerGuy09]

Hey look an actual leak. I'm not sure if this was covered or not, but it seems Smash Bros. for the Arcade is gonna be a thing maybe.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

So, a recent GameFAQs thread caught my attention. It was about this video, which is supposedly a current build for a Smash arcade game.

Thread: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u/72413170

Looks pretty legit, but pretty legit doesn't cut it these days. I'm calling fake.

That's looks pretty cool.

Seeing how easy it is to fake videos now , I wouldn't say this is real yet

I love how we're getting good leaks again
If it's fake, it's petty well done but the CSS style isn't something I think Nintendo would use

 

[Z25]

The "leaker" said that the characters wouldn't be region exclusive, rather the characters were chosen based on the popularity they have in a specific region, so that way they have at least one character per region that has a large amount of requests. I don't believe the leak, but no reason to dismiss it due to miscommunication.

I literally said this and no one listened

This is very convincing but I don't know what to believe after osami. Maybe it's a fan game?

Spoilered because its a video, but this is fantastic.

Mario and Luigi music is so underrated. It is some of the mos fantastic stuff I have ever heard.

A Smash arcade game would be interesting to see, but then again you can never say leaks are real unless proven otherwise.
inb4 Etika makes a video

This new video leak is basically confirmed to be fake.

When he goes through the "debug" menu and switches player 1's character. He goes through many, but the last one he lands on before cutting out is "Popo".

The "Leaker" is probably trying to hint at Popo (Ice Climbers) by himself being a playable character in Smash.

The timing is to perfect for this to be real. A true leaker wouldn't cut out at the last second with the most important information.

I'd want it to be real just so we get a legit Arcade Ladder mode instead of BS Not-Classic Mode

First things first, @gameonion are you involved in this leak?

Don't forget Nibroc. That man's pumping out leaks more than the public can chew.

Yes to this, there are so many pieces that come to mind, especially out of SSS and BIS. DT was pretty good, and PiT was meh.

Boss battle and Final Boss from SSS, BiS and DT are all amazing.

 

[epicmartin7]

@PushDustIn Could you translate the Japanese text in the gameplay video to see if there are any errors in it?

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Seriously, please tell me.

Just some dumb 4chan text leak.Nice little laugh love when the guy stops talking about his own leak to praise sakurai

Spoiler

Ok my days at namco bandai are soon to be over.I suppose it's bad and wrong to tell my friend news about the upcoming smash news.I mean how was i suppose to know that i could fired by sharing news.Anyway i suppose you cant say this is my revenge in a sense.Anyway let me just tell you what i know

First 4 characters will be coming to smash as DLC.1 more veteran and than 3 characters from the ballot.So far the vet in work is wolf.Only due to the high demand in all 3 regions and how easy it is to use fox and falco bones and model as structure plus his specials being in the game.Nothing to do with star fox zero or anything just due to fan demand and how easy it is to make him.

Before i continue i must say i respect sakurai as a man.He's a hard worker and on the very few times i have talked to him he seems nice.Yes he has a mean side and can be pretty harsh it's coming from a good place.I say this because the man really is in pain when it comes to working on DLC.The constant pressure of doing something to please fans is really getting to him.Which is the main reason he made this ballot worldwide.So he can feel like he's making characters that fans want.Now the 3 characters left are characters chossen from the ballot each chosen from each region.So U.S,Europe,and Japan each get a character based on what sakurai feel will appeal fans and based on popularity

So the U.S. will be getting Shovel knight.Yes i know it's not a popular choice and sakurai really had to go agaisnt his moral code to add him but he felt that if this is what the U.S wants he'll add him to appeal fans.The character was leading the U.S. side of the ballot for the first 2 months and the workers of Nintendo America seemed to really talk him up but i feel reggie or bill had a play in convining Sakurai.From what i saw that have a moving and attacking shovel knight and seems to be working on his stage and balancing him.

Anyway Japan is Waddle dee or better know as Bandanna dee i size this up to a mixture of sakurai loving kirby and waddle dee being popular in both in Japan(were he is currently in the top 5 most voted) and The west(were he is in the top 12).I'm leaning more towards the sakurai loving kirby but anyway Sakurai seems to be taking his moveset from Return to Dreamland and Rainbow curse.I've been told that he's gonna be a glass cannon but that could change.
Last but not least it seems that Europe may be getting Dixie kong.Dixie is a pretty good character all over the world but Europe seems to haev the biggest DK support out there.And with sakurai not finding good moveset potiental in K rool.(which he hates himself for everyday from what i hear.He hates the fact that he couldn't make K rool a playable character seems to think he let his fans down and himself down) but he seems to be able to find something in Dixie.He working on her model currently.
I'll be free for the next couple of hours if you have any question i'll be happy to answer​

If Nibroc was involved, I imagine we would actually see the Popo art, since 3D modelling is his thing and all.

Thanks, but if your title is anything to go by, I think we're talking about different kinds of "trap"

 

[epicmartin7]

Someone on reddit brought up a good point.

The "Smash 6" thing could be an arcade port of both versions. I still don't think this is real, but it's interesting to think about nonetheless.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

BTW the new Team Fortress 2 comic came out!

Warning, it's a doozy.

 

[Khoru]

How would a playable Giygas be like anyway? I really cannot grasp it, you know.

probably like lucas + mewtwo. some of the mother 1-exclusive psi stuff like 4th-d slip and pk beam. plus, uh.... "evil" attacks
ninten could do the same thing but giygas at least looks different from mewtwo

 

[Chrono.]

I was about to point out how the title literally being "Super Smash Bros. Arcade Game" was really dumb but then I remembered what the actual games are called.

Maintenance is going on now.

Get ready for better online play and nothing else.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

That's a convincing video, but so was Rayman.

Trust nothing.

Trust no one.

Eat your vegetables.

Cover the world in demise.

So says Granondorf.

Oh you know it buddy
Is that weird?

 

[epicmartin7]

Welp. The leak is most likely fake.

 

[Chrono.]

Anyone know what the song playing is? It sounds oddly familiar, but it's not the regular menu theme.

EDIT: nvm, leak is kill

Nah, some things may be deceiving
That's what traps are about after all

Sounds like the leaker didn't expect people to read Japanese

Obviously if you live in Japan, than your English isn't going to be so good. Unless you're like @PushDustIn and you know it fluently.

How did he even select Toon Link?

I don't even see him on the roster screen.

Are the icons layered and you press something else to select someone who isn't the icon?

That's confusing.

Apparently, the entire roster is coded in, but half are amiibo-locked. Because that makes sense yes.
