Smash 3DS Smash 3DS demo playable at CoroCoro tour in Japan - Final version will be "more polished"

[Oracle_Summon]

Guess my friend was just joking with me . But seriously, I still think Megaman should be a starter (and also Sonic). Third parties were just introduced in Brawl, so the rules could change.

I would love to start out with Megaman over Sonic, just my preferences, but I see them starting out as Unlockables.

I changed the title. It's now "apparently complete".

No. The CoroCoro build is the E3 build. We will not know the starter roster "in a few days".

Here's a post from Masked Man (the one who translated the Sakurai's Famitsu interview): http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=122862565&postcount=4173

Well, can you give me ideas for the title then?

I figured as much I think if Sakurai was going to show the starting roster he would do as he did with the main menu

[nessokman]

It conflicts with there being newcomer videos left to show. Will sakurai release all the newcomer videos that one day?

 

[Greda]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Wii Fit Trainer, Villager and Megaman were all confirmed for starting roster?

I hope and pretty sure you're right! Especially the Megaman part!

 

[SoulOfKhaos]

I want Robin to be a starter but I won't get my hopes up, otherwise I don't really care that much for the starting rooster as most of the characters I play are in the starting rooster but that doesn't I wouldn't be hppay to see some newcomers making it to the starting rooster!

I have edited the original post. It does not say the game is finished anymore.
I know some think the game is finished, but it's not. I think August will be the month for the development team to fix everything before releasing it in Japan on September 13. We have like what, 48 days until it's released?

Why does everyone seem to think that a massive chunk of the cast we've seen so far will be unlockable? That there will be unlockable characters at all hasn't even been confirmed, and given that Sakurai is all down on internet spoilers, I consider it a non-trivial possibility that the whole roster will be available from the start. Even if not, it's by far the most logical that everyone we've seen is a starter and that the unlockables are all characters we haven't seen. The only possible exceptions are third parties since Sakurai can be weird, but I read a lot of complaints online about buying Brawl that advertised Snake and Sonic and then not having access to them so I wouldn't be surprised to see that change.

 

[TheAnvil]

It doesn't matter if the tweet didn't say that the game is finished.

Because it probably is. We're now, what? 6 weeks way from the Japan release? The 3DS game will have gone gold by now.

Non-trivial? Logical? lol, I'd say it's more logical to assume there will be unlockables as there have been unlockables in every previous installment of Smash. Of course, it is possible that there won't be any, I'd wager you'll be incorrect. Didn't Brawl's dojo show us Ness, Captain Falcon and a handful of others before release, who were unlockables?

Sakurai wanted to make these character trailers to hype development, rather than save them all for another Subspace Emissary type of thing, because people can watch the videos online. But he didn't go as far as to say that would go for all unlockables. It would be no fun if you had everything from the get-go, unlocking has a charm to it.

And if there were no unlockable characters, why pick and choose what is unlockable? It has already been confirmed that Equipment/Alternate Special Moves will be unlockable (i.e; you'll find them in Smash Run, or maybe as items in fights like stickers/cds) why not give us all that from the start too?

He hasn't actually said anything about whether characters will be unlockable, but he did say that he was doing things differently because of spoilers on the internet. I consider it a strong possibility. Of course, you seem to be in a binary thinking mode here whereby we are assuming one thing or another. I said it's a non-trivial possibility. If it doesn't pass, I'm not "wrong" because I didn't say it was going to happen; I was merely pointing out that it was what I'd consider a strong possibility. Unlocking stuff does generally suck and the game would in fact be better if there were no unlockables of any sort (I don't derive enjoyment from being allowed to select fewer things in the first couple of hours I own the game out of the thousands I'll be playing in total but with the neverending headache of "that guy" bringing a set-up to a tournament that hasn't unlocked everything), but that isn't really a part of my analysis. I will point out that characters are a big "spoiler" but custom moves really aren't, and that's why I consider this a good possibility. It is, however, just a possibility.

Brawl's dojo in fact did not show us Ness or Captain Falcon before release. It showed us the starting roster precisely plus Snake and Sonic. Melee showed us precisely the starting roster before release, and since it was the first game, there really wasn't a pre-release hype for smash 64. Whether there are unlockables or not, one thing I'm quite sure of is that every last one of the first party characters we've seen on the official site will be available from day one. The chief purpose of my post was to point out that it really makes no sense to speculate about how Luigi, Toon Link, Robin, or whoever else will be unlockable when really that's an extremely remote possibility.

When is the Coro Coro Tour?

 

[Soul.]

When is the Coro Coro Tour?

Well, 16:00 is 4pm, which is 4am EST.
Right now it's 3pm EST, which I think means it's 3am in Japan right now.

From the Reddit SmashBros thread.

 

[Deleted member]

I always knew that it'd be a mistranslation. Oh well, but yeah atleast we know that the game will be more polished, which is great.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

NIce! Finally, we have the demo here in Japan. Sadly, it is not in my city but I will try to go to the most southern one in Omuta at 8/31. It's not that far away...maybe a hour and half...shorter if I take the toll roads. Now to convince my wife to come with me. Though in all honesty, I have been waiting this long....I am fine with waiting for for another two weeks to play the game.

 

[Gene]

Starting roster speculation:

Everyone playable from the E3 build and some of the other confirmed characters (Dedede, Ike, Diddy, Mii Fighters) is playable from the start. If Wario and Metaknight are confirmed before the game releases in Japan then they will be starters as well.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I have a feeling that prior to the Corocoro issue on August 13th, we will see the next Nintendo Direct aired...either on the 10ths through the 12th. I think that Direct will showcase the remaining starters such as Meta Knight, Wario, potentially Ice Climbers, and maybe one more newcomer. Then the Corocoro issue will hit showing all of the starting roster. That's my take on it.

 

[Turokman5896]

Do we know of anyone or any site they may post gameplay/impressions?

Yeah, I think everyone's been waiting this long. Maybe it feels like an achievement.
I know I'm being off-topic, but is there going to be a competitive discussion subforum for the 3DS version when it releases, or will there be a subforum right on the 3DS discussion that is about unlocking stuff?

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Wait, are we talking about a rooster now? Because I definietely agree with you that Robin, Duck Hunt Dog, and Donkey should be unlockables

 

[Reila]

2chan, maybe. Good luck translating the Japanese posts.

While I can't say what the staffs plans are at the moment, it will be similar to how the Brawl release was. There will most likely be a competitive sub-forum a little after the release.

 

[Nielicus]

So basically, they aren't revealing anything?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

It's a 6 day event that isn't at a centralized location. I don't think there will be any sort of reveals.

Sakurai removed subspace because of secret character leaks. If all the roster was gonna be the by the first time you boot the game I don't think people leaking the roster online would be a problem.

So basically, they aren't revealing anything?

Yea they are. Just like comic con.

 

[JUr]

I'm glad that they finally show the starting roster!

And with the date of release so near I don't think that there will be any reveals...
