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

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. Here's a new stage for the 3DS version: Tortimer Island! I've been here countless times to catch bugs."

Sakurai has also shared an additional photo and said "What a beautiful day. On this stage, fighters are randomly placed on a different island layout every time they visit. Yar, come back anytime, will ye?"

Didn't we already see this with a pic of dk and kappn

 

[Knowwuh]

Different random island layouts. That's cool!

Yep

 

[Uffe]

I hope the water inside the island isn't deep. That could be annoying if it is. It would be cool that if items were on, the coconuts would spawn and you could use them against your opponent(s).

 

[Nietendodude]

I really like this stage very much. Especially since the layout changes. Plus the fruit on the tree might be healing items or throws. Also (probs reading too deep) I think we might see some beetles on the trees as well with Sakurai's comment.

 

[CardiganBoy]

Looks kinda neutral, and i like it.

 

[extremechiton]

Tournament legal?

 

[Tepig2000]

Looks really cool!

This will play a huge factor tourney-wise. Is there a set number of possiblities? And it looks like the Y-plane is also affected because he is closer to the house than in the first picture. It also maybe a camera angle also.

What I find interesting is the island, I believe, is the same in each New Leaf as opposed to the Smash Bros. version where it changes each time.

I don't think the change is going to be drastic enough to make a difference

Well in AC:NL, players can customize the content of their island as far as trees and flowers and stuff go, so I think he was just kind of trying to recreate that feeling of no island being exactly alike.

That reminds me, Yoshi's coming to town in one week

 

[proxibomb]

This stage could have lots of potential in decoration. I say, more trees, random fish/sharks come out of the water, day and night transitions, with that - it'll be the perfect stage for me.


I too spent a lot of time here.

 

[MoosyDoosy]

For those saying there might be a Y plane, I doubt it. I think the little incline is part of the stage, almost like a small platform off the ground.

 

[Delzethin]

A stage with angled depth? Trippy.

Looks like all the water around could make it a good stage for characters with poor recovery...unless the swimming mechanics have changed.

Kapp'n Singing: Yar, Smash Brotheeeeers, it's really quite innnnteresting. Me islands a staaage... now what's that s'posed to meeeeeaaan?

And it looks like the Y-plane is also affected because he is closer to the house than in the first picture. It also maybe a camera angle also.

That could easily be a different form of the stage.
In the second pic, there are several differences such as the re-positioning of shrubs, added stump, and additional flowers. Not to mention the incline has a different shape in the first pic as opposed to the second one. It's also possible that the location of the building may slightly shift as well, so I assume that's what's happening here.

This kind of reminds me of the Dreamland stage from 64 and Melee.

 

[dimensionsword64]

I'll probably play on this stage a lot. It seems really fun!

 

[Wasp]

Not my stage, but nice and original tho...
I'm more from the flat stages with floating platforms and no hazards.

i think he is referencing this as the club tortimer island, aka the online matchmaking bit, which is always randomized

Really? I did not know that. For all the AC I've played, I never bothered to get Club Tortimer.

 

[Soupeschleg]

3DS looks really good

I doubt there are hazards. This IS Animal Crossing. Unless the Jellyfish sting you out of the water.

 

[SSBBDaisy]

I love this stage. I'm going to be picking it a lot on the new anyone mode

 

[bigbro2233]

I'm guessing the first picture is from the camera, and as far as I remember, angles like that weren't possible before.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

love the idea of an always different stage, keep it up!
