Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - August 7th

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Inb4 we get a Brash the Bear trophy.

@ Wasp Wasn't Trophy Rush revealed a few months ago? (Unless that will be a apart of Classic Mode).

 

[Placebo Effect]

Now take a good long look at this and imagine all the actual content they could have added.

 

[Demie Duken]

"Here's something new--the trophy shop. If you're having a hard time getting certain trophies, why not just buy them? They sometimes go on sale, too."

Kinds of reminds me of Kid Icarus: Uprising. I wonder why...

If we can sell excess trophies for coins, then that'd be nice too.

 

[C_Mill24]

I'm liking this a lot. This will certainly make trophy collecting a little bit easier.

 

[bkslider]

I'm not a fan of trophy POTDs, so I'm glad it was more than just Dr. Wily. I like the display and shop so far.

I hope we get more trophies from games not represented by fighters. I was going through Brawl's trophies last night, and the distribution was really skewed.

 

[CrossbowPig]

I imagine that the types of Trophies available in the Shop change each day. Looks like I'll finally have a way to spend the excess 9,999 coins I'll end up getting!

 

[Cancel]

Imagine if this guy was in the game =D

 

[SSBM_HypnoToad]

Dr Wily on his knees beggin for the ****.

 

[Gef]

Goomba is deconfirmed. My life's over.

 

[Wyntir]

I honestly think this is the best POTD all week. Other than that, I honestly only care about stage / character reveals at the moment. Still hoping for wolf.

 

[D-idara]

"The two games will have 1500 trophies combined. Of them, 1400 will be from Kid Icarus "

"I'm so clever because I jump in the 'Kid Icarus being overrepresented' Bandwagon"

 

[Opossum]

Now take a good long look at this and imagine all the actual content they could have added.

I don't see how this isn't actual content. Trophies have been a decently large part of the game since Melee.

 

[CardiganBoy]

Now this is what i wanted to hear, collecting trophies was always one of my favorite things in Smash, now i just hope to see decent collections for each franchise, i still remember how lacking were Wario and Earthbound collections in Brawl.....

 

[RedRambo4]

Tomorrow, I predict that Sakurai is gonna reveal something about the settings of the game, I like to predict the least so that I'll be surprised if it's better.

 

[Enchlore]

I still think Dr. Wily is the best part of the update.

 

[The Original Robot boy]

Oh shut up lol. No ones asking for everything; people just want something substantial ( rather what the majority would deem substantial).

and telling me to shut up is going to change that how?

 

[the101]

I've heard statements from interviewers that went to E3. Nintendo representatives supposedly stated that they'll be boss encounters in Smash Run. I believe Kraid from Metroid and an unspecified Kremling from Donkey Kong Country were mentioned.

Does anyone else want Doctor Wily to appear as a boss in Smash Run?

 

[Zyphyx]

Oh geez... Can't imagine getting them all.

 

[Placebo Effect]

I don't see how this isn't actual content. Trophies have been a decently large part of the game since Melee.

By actual content I mean like characters and stages and stuff. Unlockable nonsense is fine, I'm just saying there's a lot that could be that stuff instead as someone who only cares about playing the game.

 

[Opossum]

And likewise, there are lots of people who enjoy collecting and looking at the trophies. Why cater to only one side? It's not like the gameplay will be lesser due to more trophies.

Trophies do count as "actual content," so you should probably stop claiming otherwise.

Trophies are not nonsense. They have been a staple of Smash for a long time now, and they fit perfectly into the idea that Smash is meant to be a celebration of all things Nintendo, old and new. Thousands of Smash players enjoy collecting trophies.

And what makes you think trophies have somehow taken something away from the rest of the game? That's just a ridiculous assumption on your part.

 

[SD Grandmaster Hero]

Pretty neat! but i was expecting more... so

But WHY were you expecting more? Please explain.

They take up memory. I understand that they're part of the spirit of Smash but I'm talking purely from the perspective of characters and stuff, which nostalgia aside I'm sure more ppeople would appreciate.

The roster would. Some enjoy trophies yes, but I'm fairly sure that even the casual players would appreciate a larger roster.

Well I'm not going to. All I'm saying is nostalgia aside I'm pretty sure everyone, even the casuals/nostalgics, would most likely enjoy more playable content instead.
A disc only has so much memory. I really hope common sense isn't ridiculous.

A disc can only hold so much memory, memory that can be used for playable content. I'm pretty sure even the casual players/nostalgics would prefer more playable content, but the thought that gamers would want more actual playable content might be a mistake on my end. Partially joking there.

If you want another bland fighter you'll forget about in a month or two, fine. Let's scrap everything not directly related to fighting and forget about the very spirit of Smash Bros. Maybe we can cram a few more extraneous characters in the space the trophies were taking, because game development is totally a 1-to-1 correlation between disk space and development time.

It still surprises me how much people seem to love hating on the PotDs. Sakurai doesn't even have to do them. Nobody is entitled to them. There is no quality quota Sakurai is obligated to fill for each one. Sakurai is not your errand boy.

There aren't even enough unrevealed characters to fill a PotD until release, so that demand doesn't even make sense. Even if there were, why would you want to know everything and leave nothing to mystery? That level of hype is what made Brawl feel like such a let down after release.

I bet if we did get a new character every day, it wouldn't even make the haters happy. They'd find reasons to be unhappy with the characters being revealed. They'd change the tune of their complaints, but complain nonetheless.

PotDs are a gift, not something owed. Try to appreciate what you're given rather than whine about what you don't have. Seriously, if you're quadruple-posting so you can argue with strangers bullet by bullet, you have to know you've made some mistakes in your life.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

Because i believe Sakurai is hiding something big , as the good troll he is

 

[DavemanCozy]

But WHY were you expecting more? Please explain.

I can't speak for the author, nor expecting more specifically today, but I do believe that there's more to come.

The Japanese 3DS release date is just a month and a few days away: I wouldn't hold it past Sakurai to reveal something the few weeks right before to max the hype.

I don't believe I ever said it's a 1-1 correlation, or anywhere near close.
I'd rather have extra characters really. I know not everyone may feel the same but I was talking of my own opinion. Sorry for having free will.

I disagree with Nintendo's view on nostalgia and don't understand why every game they make is like that.

It is Sakurai's choice, right. Again I never said I did, and I never said I'd want a character reveal that often either. A small roster is fine. You sure do like to assume from what I'm seeing.

Tbh I don't even like Smash, just the gameplay. If Air Dash Online was still in the works I could finally ditch this series but here we are.

I could say the same about you insulting strangers on the internet really. This shouldn't even have turned into whatever it is, but internet hostility I guess.

 

[the101]

One must also take into consideration is that the generous amount of trophies isn't taking anything away from the initial developments. Trophies are added after most of the concrete content - such as characters and stages - were already finalized. Ergo, trophies are more like icing on the cake; they don't necessarily add something for everyone, but their presence doesn't take away any other potential content either.

The disc has more than enough space to hold it all. The playable characters in Brawl only took 8gb, if I remember correctly, and were poorly compressed. The compression here will likely be better, and without the space hog that was the SSE, you can have both playable content and a ton of trophies. Everyone wins.

I didn't realize it was that little, good to know. Thanks for the info, I'm still learning this stuff.

 

[The21stSmasher]

wait? goomba not playable??? :0
*waits for ssb5*

Just... why? Waiting for a 5th sequel while the 4th's in development is just stupid...

 

[BigShad]

Dr. Wily is on his knees in disbelief that he didn't get in, clearly. :3

Please replace your avatar with a bird made out of hitboxes and collission.

 

[Wasp]

Donk't forget you don't have to buy them, it's just for the ones you have a really hard time getting

Well, that just takes the challenge away now, does it not?

I'm kinda hoping that trophies that can be bought from this shop are actually trophies that can be randomly obtained... I'd like to have trophies that can only be achieved one way or another. Like for clearing a certain event. Or because you've done something special or hidden thing that unlocks a trophy. Those shouldn't be purchasable in this shop, but I guess Sakurai will think of that, so I should stop worrying.

 

[extremechiton]

ugh... more trophies...
when can we get something a little bit more informative and/or interesting?

 

[BobEugCox]

I like trophies, don't get me wrong... but I'd rather see them for the first time when I earn them. It won't be exciting to get certain ones now because he keeps showing them to us...

 

[TheDarkKnightNoivern]

He can't reveal something informative and/or interesting everyday, why are people still complaining about this, plus it isn't just trophies this revealed
