Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - March 13th

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. The tiny Motion-Sensor Bomb is hard to see. If you get any closer, it's dangerous. I warned you."

 

[comics]

OHMAH GAWWSH! I'm fist! I'm first! (nobody cares)
DK looks too curious about that explosive, someone warn him ASAP what he's up against.

 

[Your local Hipster]

Don't worry @ comics it's a stock match lol

 

[itsameluigi1290]

Small, cute, and highly dangerous...

Like an angry little sister! :D

 

[Ephecus]

Do all of the redesigned items have a red/black-ish vibe to them, or is it just me?

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Great, just what I needed. I can hardly see the ones in Brawl and now I won't even these exist when I play with all items on.

 

[Sonicguy726]

What the hell is it supposed to be based on, it it just original?

 

[SuperNova!]

DK's like, "Is it... tasty?? Is it... crunchable???"

 

[Diana's Safe Landing]

why is DK in like every other daily

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

We want more MARIO!

 

[Sonicguy726]

I'd rather see more dedede, I love his animations

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

He's got this great face that's like "oooh, shiny..."

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Sakurai's really doing a good job remodeling items in Smash these days. I wonder what the Beam Sword's gonna look like

Inb4 the Beam Sword looks the same.

 

[Dinowulf]

does anybody look at this picture and think "Stoopid monkey"?

 

[Jet3000]

It looks like he's gonna kiss motion-sensor bomb

 

[XakYm]

Or fox getting hit in almost every daily.

 

[CardiganBoy]

If only Rare was still with Nintendo, we would have get a goldeneye or perfect dark inspired motion sensor bomb.

 

[Renji64]

I want the homie mario to get some love. But i love my main dk as well.

*ape*

Sakurai: I warned you about bombs, bro. I ****ing warned you, dog.

I never understood why it was called "Motion-Sensor bomb" in the first place. It activates by touching it, not hanging around near it. I've always called it the mine.

 

[SD Grandmaster Hero]

Not gonna lie, so far, I've been happy with the work from the design team. Every change they've made to an item I thought looked really nice.

 

[CyberZixx]

The new bombs look a lot more threatening.

I think you mean a "Melee" color vide , red black purple

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Nice to see the returning series items coming back these past few weeks. All we have left are Barrels, Crates, Blast Box, Party Ball, Sandbag (likely returning as an item and/or Home Run Contest thanks to Little Mac trailer), Beam Sword, Fan, Lip's Stick, Star Rod, Super Scope, Cracker Launcher, Team Healer, Food (let's hope they're actual 3D models this time), Maximum Tomato, Warp Star, Bob-Omb, Freezie, Hammer, Metal Box, Super Mushroom, Poison Mushroom, Starman, Bunny Hood, Mr. Saturn, and Screw Attack. We should also expect the Pitfall because of the Villager's appearance and not expect the Heart Container since the Fairy Bottle heals for the same amount unless they scale its heal rate down.

I love how they're making the censors less noticeable. I hope you can have a **** load of them planted all over the stage like you could in melee. Brawl allowed like 3 or 4 before they started exploding automatically once you exceeded the limit. I love motion sensor bomb matches.

Hope this is the case with PokeBalls and Assist trophies too. Melee PokeBall matches were chaotic!

Also, LOL at the muddy textures on the ceramic upon close up.

 

[DaDavid]

It looks like a little killer spider to me.

 

[Delzethin]

It's smaller now? All the better reason to be aware of your surroundings even in less serious matches.

Is it just me, or does the design look inspired by Kid Icarus Uprising? I don't remember if the game itself has anything like it (because I've been too broke to get it >_>), but maybe it got dummied out in development?

 

[Empyrean]

Look at how nice the bomb looks. Then check out DK's face and fur. And then.....the stage itself.....wtf happened..

I'm gonna assume they ported the graphics directly from pikmin 3 and since the camera is zoomed out and the world is bigger the textures are worse

DK imo looks well enough, just not in comparison to DKC:TF. I'd say the characters and items got a lot more attention than the stages, which is to be expected honestly. Looks nice from a distance so I'm satisfied, but yeah, those textures on the ceramic are pretty terrible.

 

[BANCHEEE]

I don't play with items on. But when I do...

There are landmines in KI:U but they are only noticeable with a red flash on the floor.

Every Smash game has bad textures if you zoom in close, but it's only noticeable in camera mode, but that's to be expected, as you need to have REALLY high quality textures for them to look good up close (like, modern PC game quality). The games always look great from a distance though, and this one looks absolutely beautiful during gameplay (thanks to the lighting and shading effects).

The stages have lower res textures to make sure the frame rate is kept high, as high texture quality hurts performance, so only the characters really get higher quality textures as you're only really gonna focus on them throughout the match. Though, it's only really the realistic stages that suffer this. Stages like Windy Hill have higher res textures, as the colours are flatter.

I love how they are completely redesigning all the classic Super Smash Bros items. I can't wait to see how the new beam sword looks.

I know it's a close-up and all, and obviously I'm not expecting this game to have the best visuals in gaming history, but there are some stages that really need work, close-up or no. GoH and Skyloft look terrible compared to other stages like Pyro, Battlefield and the Galaxy stage.

GoH actually looks very nice to me, though Pyro is definitely a stand out among all the stages so far. Honestly Galaxy looks just as okay to me as GoH.

am i the only one around here wondering why that texturething that the bomb is sticked onto is so damn low res?
