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

[Smashboards]

Smash WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. The all-time classic Balloon Fight returns to the modern age, now playable with four players. This is only a small piece of this jam-packed game."

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

We already knew about this stage. Oh goodie, the Filler of the Day begins again -.-

 

[Deleted member]

We did understand that Balloon Fighter is not playable a long time ago, Sakurai. -_-"

 

[Mic_128]

Do do de do. DE DOOO.

 

[WwwWario]

We already saw this at the direct, AND in another PotD ._.

 

[Tristan_win]

B-b-but guys we haven't seen the 3Ds version before :3

 

[DarthLuigi36]

It isn't about revealing the stage, guys. If you've ever played Balloon Fight, you'll see he's making a joke with Villager's up special.

 

[proxibomb]

Yes Sakurai, balloons.

 

[SuperDS64]

So wait, are we able to actually play Balloon Fighter as a mini-game or is that an "honor rules" match to recreate balloon fighter?
Possible Event Match?

 

[Drazile]

Hey, now we know that the colour of the balloons and helmet change per player.

 

[bigbro2233]

Sakurai, where's the new details? You could show more details about any stage, move, or character, and we get a picture of the same stage we already saw? You could show a returning veteran like Ness or Captain Falcon, even instigate the community by showing Ridley's tail or something.

Pictures of the Day are serious business.

 

[Phaazoid]

I wonder how long we're going to be forced to bask in the post E3 information drought.

 

[DakotaBonez]

B-b-but guys we haven't seen the 3Ds version before :3

I thought this stage was only for the 3DS version.

 

[Deleted member]

Balloons, eh?

Do they float?

 

[MSmariosonic]

I thought this stage was only for the 3DS version.

It is.

 

[The TaBuu]

After hours of meticulously scrutinizing this 'Picture of the Day' I was able to come up with one and only one conclusion :
Fish eat humans.

 

[IonProductionz]

I guess this further confirms that the red sinning obstacles will be placed in random location of the stage.....*obligatory streamers*

 

[Marthmario]

Oh a new stage!

 

[Skyle]

Maybe it's trying to tell us how overpowered the Villager's special recovery is.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Hmmm.......

What are these "Balloons" you speak of?
Whatever they are, they seem to fly in midair.

Ridley also flys.

Ridley Confirmed.

 

[BladeOFLucas]

The question that this raises for me is this: Do the villager helmets change based on costume, or player slot?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Am I the only one not bugged by this pic

 

[itsameluigi1290]

Ohai pic of the day from April

 

[HugoBoss]

Super Smash Bros Fillers are the worst.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Looks like nobody noticed what's really being shown... Here's what the stage looked like in the April Direct:

Notice anything different? Like, maybe the entire stage? This means either the stage has been redesigned, or will transition, or will randomly choose from a stage pool like Tortimer's Island.

Maybe Sakurai actually means what he's implying here and there's really a Balloon Fight minigame. It's not like that would be hard to implement, and it would be one more reason to consider buying the 3DS version.

 

[Deleted member]

This isn't very new for us per say, no, but it does show something for the fans who aren't following this religiously like we do.

I don't care for this stage in any case. Have never really been fond of any NES games past perhaps Kirby's Adventure or something.

 

[BobEugCox]

Agh! I can't wait to play as the Villager. Ya'll gonna get tree'd! ...But I'll need you to stand right in front of me for about 10 seconds first.

 

[Nietendodude]

The only interesting thing about this pic is the quote Sakurai gave. Is this just a clever wording or an actual mini-game?

 

[itsameluigi1290]

Agh! I can't wait to play as the Villager. Ya'll gonna get tree'd! ...But I'll need you to stand right in front of me for about 10 seconds first.

I played as him, really fun.

 

[SupermanNKO]

im pretty positive they are saying ballon fight is a mini game playable in the new smash

 

[ImaClubYou]

I guess everyone forgot that we got an opportunity to play a demo, watch our favorite pro's participate in a Nintendo official tournament, and gave us a slew of new info to debate over.

Ahh.. some people.

[Mechonis]

Balloons, eh?

Do they float?

Oh yes... they float... they all float....

 

[Uffe]

It would be interesting if you could walk off the stage and end up on the other side just like in Balloon Fight, making the only way to defeat your opponent by knocking them out upward or tossing them to the fish.

That is how the stage works, confirmed in the April direct. It looks like a really slick feature!

 

[Deleted member]

Oh yes... they float... they all float....

YOU FLOAT TOO!

 

[Mechonis]

YOU FLOAT TOO!

Should be a modified balloon fighter stage taking place in the sewers... with a killer clown that grabs you instead of that fish thing.

Should add you as a friend, rofl. That movie is so bad, but I love it. XD

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

For April fools day I hope there is a trailer for the Muffin Man.

 

[Camalange]

As long as "Masterpieces" doesn't make a return. What a waste of space.

 

[Drowzee64]

They either reveal everything at once or they reveal nothing. There is no middle ground.

Oh well, we'll get all our answers when the game comes out in Japan in September anyways.
