Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - May 16th

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. You can choose to play as the girl villager too!! How lovely."

 

[extremechiton]

yes! sakurai you did not disappoint!
and not just a female villager skin, but completely different villagers!!

 

[link2702]

Pretty obvious that we would be, but least its fully confirmed now.

 

[Matunas]

Hmm, actual sorta kinda news.

[Kenith]

I don't like the Villager...but that's really cool!
HURRAY FOR GENDER EQUALITY!

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Awesome! Sakurai, you are making brilliant moves after brilliant moves.

 

[proxibomb]

I anticipated this more then anything else ever. I hope they have plenty of shirts to offer!

 

[SchAlternate]

Jesus christ what is up with the guy with the No 6 shirt.

But yeah, this really neat!

 

[AIM0001]

Sooo wait are all four of those villagers selectable or just the first two on the right?

 

[Oracle_Summon]

They are alternate colors/costumes.

 

[iLLuMinati_EYE]

I hope every character gets alternate costumes

 

[ChunkyBeef]

He's single-handedly going to make Villager top-tier by rendering the opponent's strategies ineffective.

They'll be too busy getting their soul taken from them with his look to focus on the match

 

[SchAlternate]

Oh well, time for a new avatar, I guess.

 

[Kenith]

That guy in the 6 is not even engaged in the action. He's just staring straight at the screen.

I wish I hadn't noticed him...Good thing I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight...

 

[Uffe]

I like the Villager on the far left and the far right. The other two are kind of strange. I never could play as those two in Animal Crossing.

 

[Tollhouse]

Pretty obvious that we would be, but least its fully confirmed now.

When was it ever obvious?

 

[TheLegendOfVenusaur]

They are somehow ALL creepier than the original.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

Good to see it confirmed! A lot of us were expecting it and it would have been a huge missed opportunity not to have those.

 

[Tristan_win]

I actually really like this daily pic, good info.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Love this update, though I hope there's more villagers than this, I need the brown eyes with eyelashes, the girl version is there, so hopefully the guy one is there.

Sakurai really likes that detail, props.

 

[TingleZC]

Nice.

Even more nice, there's really no reason not to put Doctor Mario as a alternate costume then, at this point.

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

Oh god these are so f***ing creepy

 

[grizby2]

this is cool, though I wonder if you'll be able to customize the appearance for each somehow. still, nice stuff!

 

[Shin F.]

I didn't think Villager could get any creepier.

Well played, Sakurai. You've proven me wrong.

 

[Ingoro]

Wow, this is great!

 

[ImaClubYou]

Number 6 reminds me of South Park a little too much.

 

[Sonicthesneak]

Number 6 reminds me of South Park a little too much.

I was thinking the same thing! As soon as I saw him, the South Park opening was playing in my head.

Oh and your avatar picture? Glorious. Glorious I say!

 

[Shin F.]

Number 6 reminds me of South Park a little too much.

He kind of reminds me specifically of Clyde...

South Park alts for all characters confirmed. Cartman as Wario is a lock.

 

[Wasp]

OMG, that 6-guy

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

Bullhorns or no buy.

 

[SchAlternate]

There must a Tom Nook's leaf uniform palette, or I'll be mad...

 

[Wasp]

So yeah, there's actually one thing that keeps me wondering;
Does every character (or at least a few more) get alternate costumes too?
Wii Fit Trainer does have her male alternate, Villager also has completely different characters as an alternate... Wario -though still not confirmed- also had his alternate costume... I would love to see more like these things but for now they're only at characters with non-specific names. I mean, all these villagers can be called villager, and both WFT can be called Wii Fit Trainer... A Daisy-costume for peach would still be called Peach though...

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

Jesus christ what is up with the guy with the No 6 shirt.

But yeah, this really neat!

It just wouldn't be a male Villager in Smash without a dose of murderous intent, would it?

Edit: spelling

 

[KatKit]

Village people confirmed. Children of the corn confirmed.

But Little Mac has wireframe mac so it's not just for characters with non-specific names

 

[Shin F.]

It's still Little Mac, though, so it might just be that the character's name has to match the costume.

 

[TheLegendOfVenusaur]

Like Dry Bowser or Dr Mario? I suppose the only exeption to this rule would Marth getting a lucina skin or Sonic getting Shadow (even though I'd prefer a sonic boom skin or Sonic dressed as link from the list worlds zelda dlc)

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

Lol these crappy faces... Im gonna have fun smashing those in
