Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - April 8th

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day, and a very important announcement. On 4/8, at 3 PM PST (8/4 11 PM UK time), we'll be airing a Super Smash Bros. Direct!! There will be all kinds of info about the new Smash Bros. games on this simultaneous global stream that will be delivered "directly" to you, so don't miss it!

It's airing at a really late time for some of you, but it'll probably be worth the wait.

You can watch the stream from the official site (www.smashbros.com)."

THAT METAL CRATE IS SEXY

 

[Chrimbo]

Ridley is hiding in the box on the left.

 

[Your local Hipster]

Why does it look like, you'll throw that box and Ho-oh will come out of it?! Hahaha.

 

[LF2K]

Sakurai Clause has left a present...

THAT METAL CRATE IS SEXY

 

[0-bit]

Smash Companion Cube confirmed!

04/08/14 The day when smashboards collapsed.

 

[Cheezey Bites]

Bulbapedia posted an interesting theory that these crates hint that there'll be three character reveals... I'm not so sure but I wouldn't put it past Sakurai to hint at something this way.

 

[Maxoxpower]

it's christmas time before time! :D

 

[SuperNova!]

Cool Points to anyone who can translate the Hylian text on the bottom of the picture...

"but it'll probably be worth the wait."
Okay now I'm excited also they apparently said they will give a release window but not full date, they're probably waiting for E3 for that

Bulbapedia posted an interesting theory that these crates hint that there'll be three character reveals... I'm not so sure but I wouldn't put it past Sakurai to hint at something this way.

That would make sense, three characters seems like a good amount for this, maybe 1 newcomer and 2 veterans. I'm hoping for Ridley/Palutena, Ike and Ganondorf

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I don't know about the character reveal theory, since for all we know, we might only get one newcomer, and perhaps a veteran, if not two.

 

[Fansmash]

Cool, the return of the crates ! I like it the new design !

 

[Brickbuild101]

Wooden Crate with Pikachu on top = Pokémon Newcomer or Mewtwo. Crate of the Future = Release Window (Already confirmed to be announced) Present = A SURPRISE!! (Possibly whatever that SSB6 rumour means!)

 

[GreenKirby]

Here's how the Direct will go:

Information about Miyamoto's personal life, something about his favorite podiatrist. Oh and the newcomer will be tropical shirt Mario from Sunshine. Along with 5 minutes of Iwata saying "Please understand"

 

[PaperX]

I've had a nightmare about today's Direct sucking hard. I sure as hell hope it stays a nightmare.

 

[Uffe]

It's like Christmas all over again! I can't wait to see what's inside those boxes. Maybe I should go to bed again. Time seems to fly faster that way.

 

[SureNsync]

The regular Smash box is a returning character, metal Smash box a newcomer and the present is Smash information. Hopefully.

 

[afistfulofwasabi]

I love mewtwo in melee, pkmn trainer in brawl, and playing as lucario and ivysaur in PM. But I think its time they let Gengar or Zoroark get in on the fight.

 

[Xarreno]

Did anyone else notice that two different types of boxes (metal and present) are displayed on the same stage instead of one per stage?

Edit: Maybe that means they have different properties or contents.

 

[The Slayer]

Sakurai's mindgames. He would be extremely scary for guessing games just by posting a few pictures with a thousand words.

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

Im gonna stay up for this.
Hope to see more information about online play

 

[Deleted member]

The Nintendo Direct will be ten minutes of a still photo of Pikachu rolling on the floor and yawning on Battlefield while Iwata explains that Shadow Mario will take up the rest of the newcomer slots.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

Even Sakurai seems excited...it will probably be worth the wait he says..he's just adding fuel to the hype...tonight I'll be watching on my phone ignoring anything going on in class

"Please understand, Shadow Mario is the most important thing in the new Smash Bros" -Iwata

 

[iHook]

I hope the metal crate has different properties from the others. Maybe it can be thrown without breaking a few times (2) and break on the next (3)?

 

[JuanTendo]

The HYPE is so fu*king real. mewtwo and the L cancel mechanic. LETS GO!

 

[extremechiton]

note: that is the rolling crate

 

[Nin404]

I'm Soooo Excited for the SSB4 Direct! I want him to show of at least one newcomer Pacman, or maybe Ridely!
And at least two returning charaters, , , , or .

 

[Silic0n]

I'm mad that I'm not going to be able to see the whole direct, I just hope that it lives up to the hype.

 

[PaperX]

You can still watch it when you have more free time. Just restrain yourself from looking at any Smash related news until you can watch it entirely (tough task, I know)

 

[RoxburyGuy58]

So that would be 6 PM EST?

 

[THE_MAAFIA]

I suspect that the direct will show pikachu looking at the boxes, then seconds later, a box with legs walks next to the other boxes and sets itself down, I'm definitely guessing snake will be confirmed with humor about the card board box ^-^

 

[Silic0n]

Nintendo UK tweeted for everyone to "tune in to learn about the launch window for the next #SmashBros, and much more!" The hype is real!

 

[Kolbin]

Cool Points to anyone who can translate the Hylian text on the bottom of the picture...

From what I could tell it was text from skyward sword written backwards.
I believe it says "All right". Make of that what you will.

 

[BigHairyFart]

I'm curious as to why the wooden crate is now on wheels. Maybe if you hit it hard enough, you'll send it flying and can hurt other players with it. Maybe you can send it off the ledge to hit people on a platform below, or maybe even as their recovering.

 

[Myuutsufan4832]

That looks too much like a companion cube ... GLaDOS confirmed?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

The fact that Sakurai said it will be worth the wait basically assures us it will be amazing. I don't think Sakurai has ever blatantly said something will be great! All he said ever was "Remember to tune into the direct at xx:xx!"

Didn't brawl have some wooden crates on wheels, I remember one being in the hit the targets lvl 1
