Then the game would be called Super Smash Bros. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The only game mode is WALUIGI TIME, the only alternative colors are PURPLE and MORE PURPLE, the only stages are Waluigi Pinball and Waluigi's Bridal Boutique, the only item is Bob-ombs, and this is the only song in the whole game.

Pretty much the best game of all time (except if you are Luigi).

Dat song

Just some Smash thoughts

-Good to have a confirmation on E3, but we really have waited a bit too long. Just sayin
-If the new Yoshi game adds another character, I expect it will get a lot of request
-Seem like there is a good focus on Platinum. They are making two games with Nintendo. My theory is Nintendo might buy them up one day.

So I might as well pop the question, for anyone who hasn't already purchased a Wii U yet, do you think that it's starting to look like a good investment now?

Not really. I'm disappointed in the Yoshi game. It looks nice, but Epic Yarn kind of sucked. I'll see if this one improves on it. Also, not sure why they are remaking Wind Waker. Really, I think Zelda is doomed no mater what. I don't think I'll want a Wii U until Smash.

 

[3Bismyname]

wouldnt this new Yoshi character be the same thing that like Prince Fluff is to Kirby's epic yarn.

I dunno, I think the style fits well with Yoshi. At least it doesn't look like "Epic Yarn, but with Yoshi!".

And they're remaking WW

a. To tide us over until the 'real' Wii U Zelda(which will apparently be non-linear). and
b. To give the game a wider audience.

 

[Gamingboy]

I so want Waluigi to get his own game, which would be like Warioware, only it'd be even more of a farce. Like, maybe it'd basically be a Legend of Zelda game, only the Linkesque hero didn't show up so the best they are able to find is WAAAAAAA!

Oh, crud, replace Waluigi with "Luigi" and you get a BiTF strip.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I'm perfectly fine with the HD remake of Wind Waker, mainly because of the very welcome boost in quality. That and I was looking for an replacement for my broken copy of Wind Waker anyway, so it's convenient.

 

[Moon Monkey]

Calling it now Waluigi's Epic Yarn will debut at E3 2014

i could see a Peach's Epic Yarn

 

[lobotheduck21]

Well now I gotta decide to get a wii-u or a 3ds (the injustice)

Yoshi looks cool
Monolith U looks sweet (man Shulk and Saki look similar)
Fire Emblem I'll take more
Wind Waker looks beautiful
Wonderful 101 looks fun
Bayonetta looks interesting (though she doesn't seem to fit (even less then snake)

Please, it's obvious this is a series that must be moved from franchise to franchise. I look forward to seeing Metroid Epic Yarn or DK's Banana Yarn.

...only today did I realize the double entendre in the term "Epic Yarn." Mind blown.

The fact that Takashi Tezuka is really involved (supervisor) should give you hope that this title will be better. Besides, I have a feeling the final game will be more reflective of what we see in the screenshots rather than the video.

Speaking of yarn...I wouldn't mind a Crafting Mama Wii U game. Would make my grandmother proud.

I think I have to get a Wii U now. I was debating whether that or a 3DS, but after seeing Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, I've made up my mind.

i am almost certain there will be more Mama games into the Wii U. the pad kinda lends itself to the concept.

yarn (yärn)
n.
1. A continuous strand of twisted threads of natural or synthetic material, such as wool or nylon, used in weaving or knitting.
2. Informal A long, often elaborate narrative of real or fictitious adventures; an entertaining tale.

There are phrases like "to spin a yarn", which is to make up an elaborate story. Kirby's Epic Yarn is a play on words.

Kirby's Epic Yarn
Kirby's Epic Story

 

[Sid-cada]

Both "epic" and "yarn" can also mean "story."

Somehow, it's a pun that can be described as good.

Edit: Ninja'd.

 

[Croph]

I kinda like video games with double meaning titles, like Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. It's kinda cute in that sense.

I raise you a this.

You know, with the gaamepad, I think they could do the tuner without forcing you to buy some other peripheral.

I think so, but the whole mini-game with the GBA Link Cable was really boring IMO. I think they should just have a renewed quest to find Tingle's long lost brother.

Also, it would be awesome to have your whole inventory on the Game Pad screen, as well as a map, possibly with the ability to flip to some treasure maps. Seriously, this WiiU Pad is tailor-made for all brands of RPGs, that it's ridiculous we haven't gotten a high quality RPG yet on the WiiU! (a Mass Effect 3 port aside)

I really, really hope that Sakurai takes this as an opportunity to further declone Toon Link...

I think this will be done by changing both Link and Toon Link. In every smash game thus far, Link has been sub par (arguably minus the Japanese version of Smash 64). Seeing as how well-rounded Toon Link is in Brawl, I think changing Link more would make the most sense. Still, a new Final Smash (something involving the Wind Waker?) would make a ton of sense. In fact, a Wind Waker using Final Smash would practically make itself.

-Good to have a confirmation on E3, but we really have waited a bit too long. Just sayin

To be expected. But still, news that we'd get visuals of the game should have come 2 months ago IMO. Still, the pictures and perhaps a trailer (if we get one) will look incredible.

-If the new Yoshi game adds another character, I expect it will get a lot of request

It will largely disappear after 3 months, just like the Medusa, Victini, and *insert Fire Emblem female here* hype largely did, as well as a load of other characters over the years.

-Seem like there is a good focus on Platinum. They are making two games with Nintendo. My theory is Nintendo might buy them up one day.

Or perhaps Nintendo will buy their owners, SEGA instead! And then, we'll finally get Tails and Knuckles playable in Smash 6!!!!

I'm perfectly fine with the HD remake of Wind Waker, mainly because of the very welcome boost in quality.

The graphics look better than I could have imagined, and I also think this is a way of warming us up to a potentially cel-shaded styled new 3D Zelda game on the WiiU.

Haven't played Epic Yarn but from what I've heard I understand. Zelda doomed? I'm curious to hear what you mean by that.


Kinda outta nowhere but our good friend augustoflores just announced in the Backroom he's heading off to E3 again this year, so we officially have our man on the inside. lol

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Yes!!! That's our Augusto! Practically calling him our E3 Scout now *BONK*. And boy he'll be for huge time.

I knew about that play on words with Kirby's Epic Yarn quite long time ago. But never knew that DKC2 was one as well.

And boy I so wish they make Toon Link become now Hero Of Winds more rather than being a carbon copy of Link. The reason why I liked Tink/Hero Of Winds so much is because he wasn't really "destined" Link at the first place, but actually volunteered to become a hero.

 

[Deleted member]

I was about to criticize your lack of a TF2 reference when you mentioned him as a Scout, but you edited it in.

You got lucky, comrade.

Speaking of which, while it'd never happen, Heavy for Smash.

 

[Johnknight1]

Don't mention TF2 in my house; my brother is too obsessed with it and too good at it.

Kinda outta nowhere but our good friend augustoflores just announced in the Backroom he's heading off to E3 again this year, so we officially have our man on the inside. lol

Good; maybe he'll make a reaction video. I bet you there will be kinds of people waiting for a Smash trailer.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Yuui: If it ain't eligible in Smash, chances are it'll be eligible in Sonic and All Stars Racing.

And you are really serious about this, aren't you

 

[Deleted member]

Depends on what you mean by serious.
If you mean "you are serious in that Heavy should be in Smash", then no. I think he'd be interesting, but he should not be in due to being inelligible.
If you mean "you are serious in that you would like Heavy being in Smash", then yes. It'd be quite hilarious, and I'd main him solely on being a ridiculous pick that I happen to enjoy.

 

[peeup]

Scout would be such a better pick than heavy.

Oh god TF2

 

[Diddy Kong]

Maaaan... I'd take a Donkey Kong's Epic Yarn even at this moment.

 

[Aipom]

Cranky Kong's Epic Yarn......... at the end, it was all just a story he was telling to other sleeping Kongs

On topic: I can't wait until E3! They've got alot going for them this year. I feel the reveal will showcase somewhere between the amount of characters as Brawl and Melee. Probably 5-8 veterans and 4-6 newcomers

 

[TheCreator]

I'd bet 6.

 

[Diddy Kong]

3~4, at most.

Diddy Kong's Epic Yarn could probably work better than DK / Cranky, seeing as Diddy is more cutesy and stuff than DK. Maybe Dixie can make an appearance in it as well?

 

[TheCreator]

If he plans to top brawls trailer I think he'll add a good bit

 

[Diddy Kong]

I want Smash to be extremely cinematic if they can do so.

 

[TheCreator]

I want Smash to be extremely cinematic if they can do so.

I do too, SSE was worth playing ONLY because of the cinematics. And they were on the WII! Just imagine what these will be like!

 

[splat]

I want Smash to be extremely cinematic if they can do so.

Please, no. Not only do these cinematics take up a lot of space (which I'd rather see invested in characters or stages) but they also consume a lot of time to make (which I'd also rather see invested in characters or stages).

Of course, they were pretty nice upon playing through the SSE, but I think the multiplayer mode should have priority over the adventure mode so I'd rather see the multiplayer getting more attention than the adventure mode.
