[Autumn ♫]

OOT Ganondorf and TP Ganondorf disappointed me in Melee and Brawl. OOT Ganondorf for being a Captain Falcon clone. TP Ganondorf for being a worse Captain Falcon clone. I think it is TWW Ganondorf's turn.... hope the third time is a charm.

I know what you mean. I was dissapointed with OoT Ganondorf and TP Ganondorf for being clones. If WW Ganondorf is the only way to make Ganondorf not a clone of Falcon then I'm all for it. I'd just want to see OoT or TP Ganondorf be a unique character more than WW Ganondorf

I still can't believe we will be getting newcomer confirmations in only about 1.5 months time.

Me neither. Can't believe that it's been so long since Brawl was out. It feels as if the day would never come for me and yet, it's within our grasp.

I expect to see Ridley, Palutena, Little Mac and Takamaru at E3 this year. My hope is that if we get a new third-party that Mega Man will be shown off there as well.

Quote by Iwata including the term 'western media.'

Ridley and Little Mac confirmations, here we come!

 

[Arcadenik]

Get over it baby, we've been waiting since E3 2011. Another 40-ish days is not going to murder you.

Since E3 2011? Try January 31, 2008.

Stupid GoNintendo, updated just a second ago with the full quote:

"At this years E3 we will not be announcing a new hardware system, so E3's primary mission will be to have [press, analysts] experience our software. Many people would like to know more about the titles for Wii U that will be announced. We will use the timing of E3 to focus on providing details about our Wii U titles for release this year, and intend to create opportunities for guests to the conference to experience them immediately. We will attempt to use this year's E3 to make announcements in a new way that we have not tried before.

Unlike previous years, we will not have a large-scale [E3] presentation directed to everyone in the world. Instead, we are planning several smaller events focusing on software for America. Among these hands-on events will be one for American distributors and another for western media."

Its funny. It seems almost as though time has been moving slower as we get closer to E3.

I am really crossing my fingers for Ridley and Mega Man. Getting Little Mac, Takamaru, Palutena, or K. Rool would be really nice bonuses too.

 

[Deleted member]

Hands-on events? So possibly some demos of Smash? [/wishfulthinking]

 

[FlareHabanero]

All I want is answers questioned, so we can finally settle the problems going on.

Are the third-party characters coming back and/or are we getting more?
What about the connectivity feature?
Will there be differences between the Wii U and 3DS versions?
General new and improved mechanics and features introduced?
What about Fire Emblem?

 

[BKupa666]

Speaking of wishful thinking...this game's DOJO equivalent will have so much more content to update about, not the least of which includes the connective features between game systems, new online modes, most if not all of Brawl's characters plus newcomers, and a cornucopia of stages. Because of this, IF a DOJO equivalent were released this year, I think it could sustainably post daily weekday updates up until a late 2014 release date.

Really, the new site will be a win-win for us. Either we get it in a year's time and enjoy quality updates due to so much content to reveal, or we get it waaay early and enjoy the usual updates for a prolonged period of time.

Technically, today is the slowest day ever (no seriously, it is. Days only get slower from here and that's a scientific fact).

I'm really nervous about E3 as well. Knowing my luck, Mega Man is the only character I want that has a realistic chance of being shown (Ridley, Palutena, Takamaru and Little Mac will likely be shown, but I'm not really a supporter, despite acknowledging their worthy status).

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Even if they don't have hardware to show, not having a large presentation like normal is bad. Iwata is going to receive a lot of criticism.

Man, these topics need to be settled now... I am tired of debating these topics for SSB4... let the others discuss them for SSB5 after SSB4 comes out.

Knowing my luck I am going to get Little Birdie and Hairy Lizard instead of Ridley.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I just want to know more about "X" then Super Smash Bros. at this point. Sure seeing Super Smash Bros. after a long time of teasing would be nice, but seriously "X" looks amazing that it shouldn't be ignored.

It doesn't sound like it.

Maybe they will just have a direct around the time of E3 and just use E3 to focus on western developers and demos for the press.
I guess nintendo believes they need new hardware to have a press conference.


Edit: same article on ign http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/04...ce-at-e3-2013?abthid=51789ae81d5e81ed1f000044

 

[FlareHabanero]

So... will we still get trailers of new stuff?

We were promised information for Mario Kart, 3D Mario, and Super Smash Bros. We can assume that other stuff like Bayonetta 2, Yoshi's Epic Yarn, and "X" will also be shown off in more detail.

 

[Metal Overlord]

I been waitin' for Smash 4 since I was still in the 8th grade

 

[ChronoBound]

This is easily going to be the biggest E3 since 2006, at least on the Nintendo side of things.

 

[Metal Overlord]

If Nintendo manages to screw up this year's 2013, I wouldn't know whether to be devastated or impressed

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm still a little concerned. It doesn't sound like there will be a big new trailer for SSB4.

On another note (I fear the lock!), name three new series that you think deserve a character!

For me:
Punch Out!!
Golden Sun
Xenoblade

 

[---]

Looks like it has the potential to be the best E3 for Nintendo since E3 2010, honestly with Sony & Microsoft now in the position that Nintendo's been in the past two years, it would take a lot of effort from them not do well this.

Also Star got an even better quote (STUPID GONINTENDO!) and posted it in the Social Thread. Has some more mentions like no Iwata this year.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Nazo no Murasame Jo (inb4 retro double standard bullcrap)
Xenoblade
Punch-Out!!

Also I'd throw in some other stuff like Dillon's Rolling Western and Panel de Pon if the limit wasn't there.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Golden Sun.
Punch Out
Murasame Castle

 

[ChronoBound]

Its weird. For me the closer I get to E3, the more nervous about it I become instead of more hyped. Like I think more about what could go wrong, instead of thinking about dreams come true.

I still think Ridley will be there, but I have bad feeling he is going to be botched (Sakurai will give him that evolution gimmick).

Those are the three best series of choice. I agree entirely.

As for E3, I just don't think I'm going to be excited. I know that whatever game I want to see revealed aren't going to be so (I've given up on a Star Fox, F-zero and Custom Robo game) and I don't think I'm going to be interested in whatever they reveal. The only thing I'm going to be hoping for is Mega Man's confirmation in SSB4 and that's literally it.

I don't know what I feel so pessimistic about this E3. Perhaps because E3 2012 burned me so badly that I don't expect much from Nintendo anymore.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Golden sun
Xenoblade
Legend of Ridley

Also in the news. Iwata is going to be acting as the new CEO of NoA

 

[Diddy Kong]

I don't even have expectation anymore. Actually, I'd almost HOPE Smash will suck. Cause then I don't have a reason to buy a Wii U anymore.

 

[FalKoopa]

Golden Sun
Mysterious Murasame Castle
Punch Out!

 

[BKupa666]

I could see evolving Ridley being the comic relief of SSB4's trailer. Little Birdie appears first as a horrific shadow on the wall that spooks the characters, who then laugh upon finding out what it is. A split second later, however, their laughter is cut short as the duckface within emerges and this forum releases a collective groan, heard from the distance like Wario's atomic fart in Brawl's trailer.

Yeah. I am already trying to prepare myself for that sadly. I would think Sakurai has the common sense not to do that, but after waiting over a decade for Ridley, I am know there is going be some huge " " I am greeted with when it finally does happen.

[Big-Cat]

Dancing-like movements when he attacks.

RETSU DANSU!

 

[FlareHabanero]

I'm like the only person here that's not as interested in the new characters, and more like answering the varies questions we've been speculating about for years. New characters are going to be more like a bonus then the main attraction.

 

[Metal Overlord]

I care more about modes and revamping existing characters than getting new characters

I'm definitely looking forward to new characters. A good online experience will be one of the best parts of SSB4 though.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I'm in the same boat. In my opinion, a game that is legit is better then a game that is sugar coated. While new characters would be nice, having a more stable interface inside and out is the bigger picture here and as such should be the most notable focus.

 

[ChronoBound]

Up until 2007, E3 would come during the first or second week of May. If that were still the case, we would only have to wait another two or three weeks for the unveil of Smash 4.

As it stands, we got another eight weeks of waiting left.

 

[Popsydoodles]

Get over it baby, we've been waiting since E3 2011. Another 40-ish days is not going to murder you.

just because i havent been on the forums speculating my life away doesnt mean i havent been waiting just as long. sheesh bully
