Smash Bros Direct on April 8th, 3pm PST!!

[TumblrFamous]

We're almost at the 24 hr mark, folks!!!

Smashboards, and probably the Direct's servers, are going to implode tomorrow.

If everyone could pick ONE newcomer and ONE Brawl veteran for tomorrow, who would it be?

Palutena and Jigglypuff for me.

Palutena and Lucas for sure.

 

[Starphoenix]

can anyone kindly tell me how many more hours till smash direct??

24 hrs, 45 mins.

 

[RelaxAlax]

On the topic of QOL, I did a project (podcast assignment) on it, and that is going to be released in April 2015, so I'm not so sure it'll be touched upon this year. It could be hinted at but i don't see why they'd do such a thing when it's not even ready.

And in reference to that list, if Paper Mario was in, i'd be so happy. Besides Sonic, he was my number 2 most wanted newcomer (Banjo-Kazooie is my third)

Big things are happening tomorow. My expectations are at a default low but I know we're in for a treat. Think about it - 20 + MINUTES OF SMASH BROTHERS! IN DETAIL!

EDIT: Mine would be Paper Mario and Lucas.

If everyone could pick ONE newcomer and ONE Brawl veteran for tomorrow, who would it be?

Palutena and Jigglypuff for me.

Takamaru and Ice Climbers or Ike. Wario and Ness are the other two veterans I really want to see too but with Wario already having Waluigi and Ashley in this game and Ness being a staple in the franchise for the past 15 years, I don't think either of them are going anywhere.

 

[Luigi#1]

I doubt it too, but i'd love to see her as an alt for Marth. Her alias in Awakening is "Marth" so they wouldn't need to change the name in the HUD. And Male Fit Trainer means there'll be voice clip changes over alts so Lucina actually works.

I need female voiced Male WFT now.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

I'd pick Yoshi and either Lip or Palutena. I guess Palutena now tho.

Palutena and Jigglypuff for me.

The Tuna and Meta Knight would be my choices.

We have 24 hours and 44 minutes.

Oh, I was Greninja'd.

 

[Bauske]

If everyone could pick ONE newcomer and ONE Brawl veteran for tomorrow, who would it be?

Realistically? Palutena and Yoshi.

Hopefully? Pac-Man and Ness.

The worse veteran they could cut imo is

serious.......

[hypeconductor]

who else wants wonder red in the game he has the perfect moveset for smash

 

[Luigi#1]

Ridley, Takamaru, and Palutena [though by now half the reason is to compare the models with the leak to debunk it even though there would be no point by then. It's taken over me.] are the only ones I really want.

 

[Hinata]

Palutena and Jigglypuff for me.

Lady Palutena and Captain Falcon would do it for me.

 

[Kirks21]

Kinda :D I managed to get my best friend on board, even if he's not into nintendo that much. For now I try to get him hyped :D

Edit: Yeah, he likes Smash, though. We had some really fun times with it.

I got a few guys to watch it with and we got a Playstation guy to watch it too! It should be great! :D

 

[SmashChu]

Are the Miis highly requested in Japan?

No
Miis are uncommon in requests, which is surprising considering how much Wii Sports, Wii Play, Friends Collection, and Wii Fit sold in Japan. I guess the people who buy the Mii games in Japan are different from those who play Smash Bros., or perhaps they feel Miis would not work well in Smash Bros. since they are not defined characters?

[Dark Phazon]

I always wanted JigglyP FS to pull out his little microphone pen thingy she had in the anime and sing eveyone to sleep and then stab their eyes out.

It was so cute that microphone im serious about the FS though.

Ok maybe not stab but like kill you with the microphone

 

[Johnknight1]

Pikmin is a million-unit seller (on systems that actually have a decent install base) and critically lauded, what are you talking about? It's not Mario, but it's not nothing.

Compared to Melee's 7 million copies sold and Brawl's like 12 million copies sold, that is just a piece of the pie.

Pikmin doesn't move any noticeable amount of consoles. There wasn't a big increase in WiiU's sold when it came out, but there sure was when

And iirc Miyamoto hinted at the game being unveiled this year. Or at least soon. Before there were only hints towards something being in development.

Didn't he do that in 2012 though=??? (then we got Nintendoland).

That doesn't mean it still won't be big. Smash was pretty much the biggest thing last E3, and it was still over a year away from release.

The biggest thing at E3 was Sony vs. Microsoft, which was a beatdown comparable to the beatdown that killed Apollo Creed in Rocky IV.

As for Miyamoto's IP, eh, I doubt it will be a hit, again, me alluding back to Pikmin.

If everyone could pick ONE newcomer and ONE Brawl veteran for tomorrow, who would it be?

Palutena and Jigglypuff for me.

Shulk and snake.
If they're both confirmed, and all melee/64 veterans stay intact, then this game is a midnight buy for me.

 

[EmbersToAshes]

Shulk and snake.

Shulk and Captain Falcon. Though I wouldn't mind Wonder Red announced in place of Shulk, so long as he was still to be included. Don't really see WR as anything more than an AT mind, sadly.

 

[Johnknight1]

If everyone could pick ONE newcomer and ONE Brawl veteran for tomorrow, who would it be?

K. Rool and Snake.

If K. Rool is confirmed, my #3 pick streak hits 4 consecutive showings, which de facto confirms Ridley, which de facto confirms that I'll shave my head (again), which de fact confirms I'm a part of a conspiracy I don't know about, which obviously de facto leads to something something, which de fact leads to a conspiracy, which always de fact leads to Half-Life 3.

I picked Snake just because I want to taunt people who hate the idea of a playable Snake again, and because he was the best Brawl newcomer (sans maybe Diddy).

 

[Silvera]

If everyone could pick ONE newcomer and ONE Brawl veteran for tomorrow, who would it be?

Palutena (so the leaks will be put to rest) and Yoshi (just because).

I always imagined her final smash would be the microphone as well, putting everyone to sleep while she went on a rampage, instead of that weird grow-to-insane-proportions final smash that really has nothing to do with her character as a Pokemon. I guess having everyone fall asleep though would make her final smash too similar to Peach's.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

If everyone could pick ONE newcomer and ONE Brawl veteran for tomorrow, who would it be?

Ridley and Snake. After that I'd just want Mewtwo confirmed, then I wouldn't really care who gets in after that.

 

[Yonder]

Yep, good ol Windows 8 and their bloody "limited connectivity" problem. Ugh. I wanna watch my hype worthy NC review (worst animated film he's reviewed yet) and the direct tomorrow!

(Connected by gym wifi -.-)

It's a tough decision.

Shulk and Ike, honestly, but I'd also take Shulk + Captain Falcon, or Palutena + Falco, Ganon, what have you.

But yeah, that first one.

Its Super Smash Bros. You'll buy it at midnight anyway.

I can't decide if I want the digital version or not. Like, I do, but I don't.

 

[Road Death Wheel]

I don't even think he's "boring". Shulk is a good character with an interesting story arc and Xenoblade is an amazing game - it's just that a guy who can switch between a bunch of different weapons on the fly has more potential for a unique moveset. Yes, even despite the fact that the Monado can extend, shoot energy blasts and create barriers.

im not talking about his fighting. I feel hes boring because he a one man army. its bad writing his group cant do anything without him there supporting.since there multiple mechons i would expect that bionis would have multiple people who could wield manodo are even better. weaps with the same trait as the manodo but can be like guns axes and such.

Without spoiling anything: you didn't actually get very far in the game, did you?

 

[Johnknight1]

I wasn't doing in any specific order, but if I had to:
1-Crono
2-Crono
3-Crono
4-Crono
5-Frog

I am okay with this list. Man though, Black Mage, Slime, Crono, Geno, etc. would all make great smash bros. playable characters.

But nope, people want freaking Cloud.

"We want a cool character with a big sword" they say.

Apparently Ike doesn't exist. (btw Ike > Cloud, because he fights for his friends)

 

[TumblrFamous]

Honestly, I am very nervous for this tomorrow. Excited, but nervous.

Compared to Melee's 7 million copies sold and Brawl's like 12 million copies sold, that is just a piece of the pie.

Pikmin doesn't move any noticeable amount of consoles.

Compared to MK's 35 million (or more), Brawl is just a piece of pie. Compared to Brawl, TP or SS is just a piece of the pie.

There is always a bigger fish out there, but moving more than a million units on the Gamecube is nothing to scoff at. Obv there are better selling IPs, but Pikmin, a new IP, still held its own against other Miyamoto IPs like SF and F-Zero on that system, so it shouldn't just be dismissed. Btw, Nintendogs and and Wii/Mii are more recent Miyamoto series, and they did phenomenally.

Obv Pikmin isn't as big as Smash, but on a game-by-game basis, only Mario, Wii, and probably Pokemon are. Miyamoto's new IP won't be as big as Smash either, but it's something new, it'll be marketed well (Nintendo can market things proficiently when they choose to - look at Uprising), and it's not too much to assume it's be very well received critically, isn't that good enough?

There wasn't a big increase in WiiU's sold when it came out, but there sure was when

http://playeressence.com/japanese-wii-u-sales-up-217-since-pikmin-3s-launch/
There was definitely a notable one. With a larger Wii U install base previously it would've been even bigger, but no one is pretending it's a massive system seller.

Didn't he do that in 2012 though=??? (then we got Nintendoland).

I don't think so, but I don't remember. I'm pretty sure he was just making hints that there was something in development, and people took that to mean we'd get to see it.

The biggest thing at E3 was Sony vs. Microsoft, which was a beatdown comparable to the beatdown that killed Apollo Creed in Rocky IV.

I meant the biggest thing Nintendo had to show in terms of hype generated.

As for Miyamoto's IP, eh, I doubt it will be a hit, again, me alluding back to Pikmin.

It's going to have to touch down at some time, it's been in development for a while already, and the Wii U is struggling, so who knows.
