Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - August 19th

[mario123007]

Seeing this makes me think of one thing, the Wii U version got to be rated T.

 

[Zeallyx]

Awesome stuff.

Brinstar too!

 

[Ussi]

Well it was only a matter of time.

I just hope I don't play too many thristy 14 year olds in smash now.

To be fair, the Link Costume you're referring to isn't a True Alternate Costume, its an Alternate Texture thats only made to resemble the Skyloft Link outfit..chances are Link will have a completely different Alternate Costume that actually changes his Model..like, say, Hyrule Warriors Link or Fierce Diety Link or something.

I am quite aware of that SS Link in Smash is just an alternate texture which is why I had a big beef about leaving that hat on. I was just pointing out how silly it was that Sakurai "stripped down" Samus yet couldn't be bothered take off Link's cap. I found it quite humorous.

I do agree that SS Zelda needs to happen.

Stop Nintendo! Your oversexualizing woman and hurting the feminist argument! Kappa

 

[MechaWave]

Can we get equal fanservice for the male characters too?

 

[SmashBro99]

I approve.

I'm a devout feminist and I have zero (haha) problem with this. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the designer being female. It's a bit disturbing, however, how little people actually understand feminism and the principles it promotes (including many women and self-described feminists who have little clue about what feminism actually is). The sheer fact that people are expecting this extreme feminist backlash is the problem, not this alternate costume.

People know what feminism is, it's how feminism is portrayed by those self-proclaimed "radical" feminists that you'll see on YouTube and Tumblr that get the most attention (really the things they do is just plain unacceptable). People don't actually see that black-and-white.

Keep the alt costumes rolling!!! This pretty much was the only logical costume for her (Justin Bailey coloring from the original Metroid on this would be nice too, though).

Since Namco is working on this with Nintendo, I wonder if they are pushing for alternate costumes for everyone? Tekken has at least one for everyone in the newer games (actually I think nearly every Tekken has alternate costumes for everyone), so I would imagine they had a hand in pushing for the alternates.

That and the attention Project M has gotten for its alternate costumes, it'd be really great to see some of those in the new Smash. Here's hoping every character has at least one in the final build and/or DLC costumes!!

 

[BladerDaBrawler]

This raised my eyebrows more than Ike did. For two reasons. One, I just saw HD Samus in shorts. Two, how on Earth is this OK for children? I hate to be 'that guy', but come on, little kids are going to be playing this. At least bump up the rating to T.

Brawl was rated T.

 

[LasermasterA]

My friend literally said three days ago that these wouldn't work and would probably look bad.

He said today, "This is the best thing I have ever been wrong about."

Anyway, these are really awesome. I hope we get a Justin Bailey thing too.

This is mostly Justin Bailey. Justin Bailey from Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission.

Or did you mean Amiibo?

I expected this costume to make an appearance since she was announced as a separate character from (Power Suit) Samus. It's fine by me.

 

[Zenmaioh]

Party people in the house say DAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Wasp]

Stop Nintendo! Your oversexualizing woman and hurting the feminist argument! Kappa

You're
Women

*flies away*

 

[VioletSmashfan]

No wonder Australia gave these games a mature warning label, it had to do with ZZS' getting an alternate costume.

 

[HONY]

Is that Brinstar? Why bring back Brinstar again? I really hate Brinstar.

That weird dip in the center right of the stage where you get stuck on the stupid ball things that hold the two sides of the stage together... I wonder if they'll update any old stages the way Mariokart does with theirs but it doesn't look like they will be doing that. Haven't in the past either.

That being said... #DatBooty ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[AB-80]

Do the graphics/textures on the Wii U pic look average to anyone else, or is it just me?

 

[Minty_]

I completely agree!

 

[L9999]

I just woke up and already 6 pages of comments for a pic of the day?! Just wow. I can't believe they actually went with this costume, but I don't care, it's fantastic. Thanks female designer, you have a fine taste with this topic about controversial costumes. Also, why Brinstar? Nobody likes that stage, not even casuals. WHY NOT FOUNTAIN OF DREAMS.

 

[The Light Music Club]

The comment saying he didn't think that this could be done in time makes me think we still have a ton of cool stuff waiting for us to see.

They'll show Fountain of Dreams when they show Dedede's midriff alt costume

 

[D-idara]

Are you serious? Brinstar's like the best Melee stage, great music, great hazards, great layout, great graphics, atmosphere, etc...

Also, why does everything Metroid-related on Smash always cause ****storms?

Yea like TONS of newcomers :D

Ok I don't care about tons, just give me Isaac as a playable character.

 

[Uffe]

Tell Tumblr there's no fire

I'm sure they'll still be complaining. I was watching a video on Tumblr about how Avril Lavigne did some music video with Japanese people, and people were talking about how it was cultural appropriation, and how she was deemed as their savior or some BS because she was this different person with the main focus and the Japanese were all dressed the same. She responded back, and these Tumblrites were still getting on her case about it. I'm guessing we're going to see that with this, even if a woman was behind designing these.

 

[Metalbro]

Damn. Samus is hot.

 

[Pikmin1211]

Looks like Sakurai is participating in Miiverse after dark...

 

[L9999]

They'll show Fountain of Dreams when they show Dedede's midriff alt costume

No thanks. I mean ddd midriff, not Fountain of Dreams.

 

[Wasp]

People please... why is this bad for kids?
Kids go to beaches too... I think that there's even more harmfull material than No-Suit-Samus. Stop being so hypocritical and prudish. Get real plz

 

[RPGatWill]

*Puts on most over the top british accent*

A woman showing skin! This is something that has never happened before! Hupuchahumbabahumblebir M! RATE IT M! US OLD PEOPLE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS NUDITY IN CHILDREN'S GAMES! Belly buttons are far too sexual for a young child! M!

 

[D-idara]

It's an official alteration of Samus from an official game. Good enough for me.

Nice to see so many alts. I really hope Lucario gets some form of alt. Wouldn't mind an explorer variation.

We should get Scarf Pikachu from Explorers too, I'd rather play as my explorer Pikachu than Ash's Pikachu.

 

[AppleCracker]

Dat belly button doe.

 

[Bedoop]

Looking at the number of days we have left for development, it would be an impossible task to create this… That's what I told my staff. But thanks to the determination of her female designer, these Zero Suit outfits got completed in time.

RIDLEY CONFIRMED
TELL YOUR KIDS
TELL YOUR WAIFUS
TELL YOUR HUSBANDOS

The beach argument is a really bad one (in most cases, mind you, not all) for several reasons, but honestly this isn't a bikini or anything, so people shouldn't be getting too worked up over it.

Oh, I meant the one with green hair and pink leotard thing.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

i love how even sakuari is constantly impress by his team. Not much time left! Soon we will know all characters and costumes!

 

[allison]

Naturally, when I looked at the second image, my eyes gravitated to BRINSTAR.

What did you think it was going to be?

 

[dezeray112]

Woah, pretty nice design.

 

[Deleted member]

The beach argument is a really bad one (in most cases, mind you, not all) for several reasons.

And just what are those reasons?

 

[DavemanCozy]

Now we need Captain Falcon in a nice bikini


EDIT: Also, they're focusing on costumes now and he's worried about development deadlines? Why not just release them as DLC or something like that? I guess making the game as complete as possible is nice
