Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - July 25th

[ChikoLad]

Does anyone know if there will be online capabilities for Smash Run? The bottom screen seems to indicate otherwise...

It has been confirmed that Smash Run has local play and online play. I'm really confused about why it doesn't state that on the main menu.

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

Anyone know why it could be sooo hard to make a bottom screen show a picture? I am really wondering this... I am a software engineer and really... how hard can that be, lol

 

[Rockaphin]

I'll be very disappointed if Classic Mode isn't on the 3DS version.

 

[TheFadedWarrior]

I really hope that "Challenge" button is the Event Mode.

 

[BigHairyFart]

So, why does the desc. for Smash Run say, "take on three CPU rivals in a final battle!" Why would it specify only CPUs when you're supposed to be able to play this with other players as well.

 

[Gamecube Kid]

In the glimpse all the modes for the 3ds version from E3 I saw master hand being defeated which means there will be classic mode.

 

[Wasp]

Maybe so, but none of the other icons look this way during this stillshot.

Maybe that is because its not all synchronised? Pehaps that button just got deselected or something i dunno... geez we're really discussing this?

 

[SmashHole '82]

I'm seriously questioning if the 3DS version has Adventure Mode...

Anyway, beautiful menu as always Sakurai. I'm giving him a virtual clap.

If you look closely at the minute-and-a-half video from E3, it does, with various branching paths to take, based on different fighters!

 

[DavemanCozy]

What is that Challenge option in the Menu? I'm curious how he chose to organize it, seeing the lack of the 1P menu, but I guess it must be around there in a sub-menu

 

[qwillinallthefish]

The buttons look very similar to how the City Trial power-ups looked in Kirby Air Ride, but the Challenge button looks out of place and unfinished.

What would be the point of getting the Wii U version then?.

HD, Gamecube controller, Gamepad off-screen play, different modes, different stages, different trophies, the ability to use the Amiibos when they launch since the peripheral for NFC with the 3DS apparently won't launch until next year, ideally for tournament settings it would make a lot more sense to use the Wii U version so you don't have all these 3DSs trying to sync up to consoles, the list goes on and on.

It would be the same reason they show the Wii U version in so many demos and used it for the Invitational instead of putting the 3DS screen on a big screen - the Wii U version just looks better and plays better.

The 3DS's ability to be synced up to the TV would be for those couple months when we don't have the Wii U version available, or for those who want to Smash Run on the big screen. I imagine it'd be a relatively simple task with all the work they've already done.

The benefit then of the 3DS would be that you could take it away from the TV and play on the go. Bottom line benefit of the Wii U version is that it was designed not to be taken on the go, and is thus more beautiful and comfortable to play.

Did you know that Sakurai's Wife is part of the UI?

 

[Sqa$]

It has been confirmed that Smash Run has local play and online play. I'm really confused about why it doesn't state that on the main menu.

I think it doesn't mention the online capabilities of it because of the fact that they aren't in the online section, so there's no need to mention it. If they clicked online, probably a similar screen would show up that had "For Fun," "For Glory," and "Smash Run" in there or something like that.

You would have to select the "online" menu to play game modes online. Rather than selecting a game mode and then choosing online or offline this game has it so that there is an "online" menu (seen in the screenshot) where you then select what game mode you want to play while online.

 

[BunnyBoy1337]

The challenge button I'm assuming is the adventure mode.

Mr. Sakurai already said the new Smash Bros. games don't have have an adventure mode, via one of last year's Nintendo Directs.

No, he didn't. He said there wouldn't be a subspace emissary, as in with the story and cutscenes.

 

[Suli Hyuga]

Can someone explain to me why there's a wii u functionality there. I thought that Wii U and 3DS has no cross play function.

 

[4cast]

I asked my Friend DeJeux on GameFAQ's some questions about the upcoming game (her being the pipe burst leaker after all and just generally a friend of mine) And my last question was if Smash Run has online and She Said Yes So I'm pretty sure it has online capabilities

 

[extremechiton]

challenge: event matches,

games&more: that new trophy mode, home run contest, break the targets

wii u: transfer data to your wii u

 

[RedRambo4]

Looks good, for some reason, I really wanna play Smash Run with Mega man..it'll be like an upgraded version of his old games

 

[Galespark]

It looks good, but that "Challenge" button looks kinda out of place imo.

Also, Challenge is probably the same "Challenges" from Brawl, aka achievements where you unlock stuff by doing stuff in the game (Or like the treasure hunt from KIU).

Wii U - 3DS interaction was confirmed to be Custom Characters tranference but I hope there's something else as well.

Classic Mode was confirmed to be in the game in the E3 3DS Trailer as well as other modes:

Plus You Get the Epic Wily Castle Music all the 5 minutes playing it!

Yes, the 3DS version does have Adventure Mode/Story Mode. I went to the Best Buy Invitational, and had a chance to play both 3DS and Wii U verisons. It was pretty cool, despite waiting in one line to get into another line.

 

[DavemanCozy]

Classic Mode was confirmed to be in the game in the E3 3DS Trailer as well as other modes:

Ah, I knew I had seen Classic Mode somewhere. Now I'm really curious as to how they chose to organize the structure of the game menu.

 

[Zebkeet]

Welcome to the Platinum age of Smash.

 

[AncientBaby]

Am I the only one who thinks the challenge button looks a bit out of place? It seems flatter than the rest. Doesn't really bother me too much, but it's kinda weird.

 

[WinterShorts]

Isn't the Adventure Mode Smash Run?

I've reread this many times myself.
He says things like this often, and I often just come to the conclusion he must be praising his workers for a job well done.
This one seems particularly strange to me, though, and I do not want to say he is hinting at something, but...
Difficult task... Difficult UI... Difficult Unlock....

Hmm... a lot of people are saying the Wii U button is to play cross-play I've seen, not on here as much as other places but I'm pretty sure it's just for data transfer. As for the Adventure mode, I think that'll be exclusive to the Wii U version while 3DS has Smash run, if not, awesome! If so, I'm still satisfied! Wonder what Street Pass will be for! o.o I think if there is any other Adventure mode on 3DS it'll be on the 'Games & More' menu. I could be very wrong though... xD

 

[Deleted member]

This is almost exactly what I imagined. I like the flat design style in this one.

 

[Myougi]

 

[proxibomb]

There is no cross-play fights between the Wii U and the 3DS, it's already been confirmed.

 

[KinGly]

Games and more? Didn't samurai say something about mini games on the 3ds version?

 

[Polo]

Something that strikes me as odd is that I don't see the all-important "options" button here. Although it could, of course, be under the "Games and more" section. That would be odd though, as it looks like there would have been enough room to add an options button somewhere on this main menu.
I am also wondering where the Classic mode button would be - probably under the "Smash" button?

 

[gamestationpro]

The challenge option looks imcredibly out of place it doesn't have the same thick black border plus it's a strait up rectangle

 

[IAmEnel]

The menu's lookin nice! I'm curious as to what the Wii U connectivity and Streetpass will do ingame.

 

[Chukkaque]

Reading through all of these comments its like half of the commenters have kept up with Smash info on a daily basis, while the other seem to have just heard of the game. Because a lot of the questions being asked have been answered in otther directs and quite some time before today.

Regardless, I like the menu it looks sweet. I hope they treat it like Uprising and let you hold and move the icons around.

 

[KageJuin]

Does anyone wonder why there is no pic of the day today?

 

[Hypercat-Z]

Honestly I'm a bit disappointed.
I was expection a whole new kind of look.
Remember the changes we had from Melee to Brawl?

 

[RPGatWill]

I thought Sakurai didn't post pic of the days on weekends?
