Official Japanese Everything Thread: Sakurai Famitsu Interview - Translators needed!

[L_Cancel]

ShortFuse, awesome thread! This is just the kind of info I needed after a week without update! =]

 

[Puddin Master]

OMG That last commercial is a dream come true. It disconfirmed an actual fear of mine, that "Themed Boxes" were taken out, since they weren't inculded in the demos, but it's there!

...and did anyone else see the complete devestation of PT's FS? Holy guacamole, the victims just stayed in place and got pummeled to a pulpy pulp! Ooh, and PT's Japanese voice is killer amazing (nice echo)!!

"Themed boxes"? What are those?

 

[KidSmash]

"Themed boxes"? What are those?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/item03.html
basically, the image of crates and barrels change depending on the stage's atmosphere

 

[FireJumpPunch]

"Themed boxes"? What are those?

You know the appearance of item containers changes on certain stages, like how on Yoshi's island item they become presents. That's what he means with themed boxes.

Oh, you beat me to it. Ah well.

 

[CyberBenX4]

When the Pokémon Trainer character changed from using Ivysaur, to Charizard (Lizardon), Charizard's voice sounded pretty bad, sounds like a Slowpoke...

I sure hope Charizard doesn't sound like that in the US version, since it is my favourite character confirmed so far.

Charizard, or rather Lizardon (his JP counter-part), has pretty much always sounded like that. So, it's pretty much expected that his DSBX counter-part will sound like that, while SSBB will probably have a different sound altogether.

 

[Puddin Master]

Oh, yeah. The different crates and barrels. I thought he meant those little boxes that tell you what song is playing on the stage before the fight starts. XD

 

[Masque]

Excerpt from Post 166:
ポケトレがしゃべったのが一番のニュースですね。
あの声は前に書きましたが小林由美子さんではないかと。
"POKETORE mouth is the best news.
That voice was Yumiko Kobayashi, who has written before that."

Sounds like they might know the Japanese voice actor after all.

 

[Boofer]

So how exactly do we know that there will be more videos?

This. Are we speculating that there will be more vids, or is it a fact?

 

[Anth0ny]

Charizard, or rather Lizardon (his JP counter-part), has pretty much always sounded like that. So, it's pretty much expected that his DSBX counter-part will sound like that, while SSBB will probably have a different sound altogether.

Here's the question. Are they going to take an anime approach or a game approach to the PT Pokemon voices? If anime, they will call up the Pokemon seiyuu (voice actors) to record the voices, similar to what they did with Pikachu. If they take a game approach, they'll probably place the most recently used Pokemon cries from Pokemon Diamond/Pearl.

I don't really care what they do. As long as it sounds nice, I'm happy.

 

[CyberBenX4]

Yumiko Kobayashi, eh?

She was Ryoto in Super Robot Wars, as well as some other roles (like Bokkun in Sonic X). According to most profiles I've read, she's freelance now, which probably was convenient for some one like Nintendo to snatch up for Seiyuu work for a game.

I don't really care what they do. As long as it sounds nice, I'm happy.

For Japan, at least, the question is pretty much clear; they'll probably go with the Anime voices; they're familiar and pretty much everyone can recognize the stylings of the anime seiyuu at work. Assuming Mewtwo and Lucario are also in the game, they'd just as easily recruit Masachika Ichimura and Daisuke Namikawa (respectively) to come back and reprise their roles once more. It's just how things would work when it comes to Seiyuu in Japan.

For America? I couldn't tell ya. The whole thing with Nintendo and 4Kids parting ways will probably make localization an interesting thing. Though, I guess if they got the 4Kids' Sonic X duc actor to come back for Sonic, I suppose they could get other 4Kids staff to come back too (if they could be bothered).

All I know is that, I couldn't imagine some one else playing Jigglypuff beyond Rachael Lillis, any more than I could imagine some one besides Mika Kanai playing her JP counter-part, Purin.

I think Castform takes the weather from the Weather Channel and different effects come out. For example, snow will cover the whole ground it'll be slippery. Or maybe it uses weather ball. Just an idea.

lol, that would be so funny

 

[raphtmarqui]

with these new commercials in japan, it seems the starting roster has been revealed... but why would falcon be taken out of the starting roster?

It probably isnt the full starting roster

 

[fums63]

It probably isnt the full starting roster

then why would they start commercials?

 

[Scribble]

Yumiko Kobayashi? That's Poemi from the anime Puni Puni Poemi! O_o

 

[CyberBenX4]

then why would they start commercials?

To start the hype train for the casual masses, and accelerate the hardcore's train to insane degrees. What else?

What I think is interesting is that, the commercials have been showcasing groups of 4...and we have 23 members of the cast unveiled on the Dojo up to now.

Assuming that this trend of "4 by 4" continues for the rest of the commercials...it may imply that we got at least one more person to unveil for the Dojo, who may be expected to hold us until the JP release.

Of course, this is if there are anymore commercials at all. You guys keep ignoring my posts. I see no reason to believe that there are anymore commercials.

[2nd Stamp]

Ash Ketchum for PT voice

lolnever

 

[CyberBenX4]

Of course, this is if there are anymore commercials at all. You guys keep ignoring my posts. I see no reason to believe that there are anymore commercials.

Why not? Even if they space 'em out some more over the next few weeks leading up to and including the JP release, there's plenty of reason why there would be more commercials. Especially if it was to just give a few seconds of time to the roster revealed on the Dojo thus far.

 

[Kain6th]

Wow. Kumatora AND Duster are AT's... Sakurai truely doesn't want anyone to like the mother franchise, does he?

What is that supposed to mean?

 

[blink777]

Great thread. Thanks to all the contributors (minus the whole 10 pages of Snake arguing).

 

[Sputnikk8156]

i love this thread...it is the greatest

Fourth Commercial, sort of. Give credit to Captain Spoon for the find, not me.

It still counts as a Brawl Commercial, but it's more of a Wii + Internet Provider. Oh well, doesn't show anything new, besides something worth to laugh at.

 

[brawlmaniac]

I liked the PT commercial the best. He switches out his pokemon pretty fast lol.

 

[teamrocketspy621]

*reads first post*

The Great Bay music is available? Aw, does that mean they didn't do a totally awesome new version?

 

[Falcon1991]

People:

Here is a new video of Brawl.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y57J62IMnuA

Not only does it pretty much confirm Online team battles... it has dancing eggs too! XD

 

[Mr. M]

Heh, wow. I guess dancing eggs can't be worse then TRANSSEXUALS like from the last commercial I posted. Guess that's the second commercial for that company to advertise their internet stuff for the Wii.

 

[Ced The Lad]

Nice find. Online team battles . . . man I'll be playing this game for the good part of the entire year looks like.

 

[Anth0ny]

What the hell is up with those eggs?

 

[WeeklyJumpman]

Nice week-saver, ShortFuse!

 

[Anth0ny]

I just noticed something. The egg commercial confirms two player online mode. I didn't doubt it, but there were some thoughts of "Only FFA online".

 

[squall1207]

So after seeing these comercials I think this will be the starting roster plus lucas or a returning vetran.

 

[deadmon]

Heh...dancing eggs.

Can't wait for team battles!

 

[chaos_Leader]

I have an additional link to a website that may be useful:

http://ikusaba.client.jp/

It is a character prediction site and is connected with this fansite: http://ikusaba.ifdef.jp/top.htm

I didn't see this website among your many others, so I decided to place it here so the cominity can know about it.

Note: do not click the "English Here" link it doesn't work.

 

[Heavyarms2050]

fourth commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfuKm9mv-NA&eurl=http://gonintendo.com/index.php?paged=2

hardly any footage, but it talks about you can play brawl online

 

[Lemon Drop]

Gametrailers has all 3 of these.

[Metal B]

Pokemon Trainers Voice is sooo cool!! He sounds really badass as he shouts the attack for the Final Smash =) And Dedede is so funny. Just Love him =) In the end we know he is in the start rooster ... so there are no secret Kirby characters? Kirby, Meta Knight and Dedede ... do we need someone else?

 

[Bocom]

This has already been said, I am sure of it:

Birdo's a girl. Not a man.
