What is up with everyone making weird faces and poses?








.......

Didn't you hear? SSB4 won't be a fighting game. It's a very detailed selfie simulator featuring popular Nintendo characters. Don't quote me on this, but I think this is part of their new plan or something to reach out to the larger audience.

At the level shown on those screenshots, I actually like it a lot. The game looks so vibrant and colorful that these expressions just make the game feel a bit more alive.

For example, I always though that the faces the characters make in Street Fighter 4 were a little too much in some situations.

I found the SF4 ones mostly funny. If there were any issues, it had more to do with the models.

Doesn't get worse than some of those models with SFxT textures/coloring. *shivers*

This game's graphics make me so impatient to see characters like Falcon, Sheik, and Ganon on glorious HD. And maybe some HD Chrom/Lucina/Lyn?

The worst offenders, model wise, were Blanka (stomach), C. Viper (burger ****), Rose (too masculine and then there's the hair), Ryu, and Ken (you can just tell those two were the first ones made). You can definitely see though that the later characters were much improved in quality. Some of the alternate costumes improve on the models like with Viper.

Brawl went for a realistic style. SSB4's going for a cartoon-y one this time.
With a premise like Super Smash Bros., the latter works better.

With the selection of characters and the whole plaything/trophy gimmick, trying to treat it like some sort of epic is a joke.

Even then, a realistic art style does not excuse it from being expressive.

Still no news for GameCube VC on the Wii U? Want to play Luigi's Mansion again.
Don't expect to ever see Gamecube games on the VC -- at least any Nintendo games. Nintendo has found a formula in Wind Waker HD that allows them to update old games and sell them for a premium slightly under current prices. Pretty confident Super Mario Sunshine or F-Zero GX is next in line.

Luigi's Mansion HD? Why haven't they taken my money yet?

Rumor is Nintendo is developing a Dark Moon HD port for the Wii U. I forgot which company had that in their database, but considering the Yoshi game turned out to be true, I won't discount that listing unless E3 comes and goes without any showing.

Dark Moon was good, but it wasn't quite like the original. I don't think I'd buy it again, even if it was an HD console version, I'd rather the first one or another sequel.

I have yet to play it, so if both options were available I'm not sure which I'd choose. All I know I want Nintendo to re-create is F-Zero GX for the Wii U: add online play, Miiverse functionality and some off-TV play and I'll be set.

I've seen a very convincing Snake-to-Waluigi moveset transplant. I'd say he fits the bill pretty well, other then being yet another Mario rep, of course.
I don't know, I support Waluigi, but I would prefer him to use a sport based move-set. I just don't see Waluigi using realistic explosives.

Bowser? Are you too afraid to use Ganondorf? :smirk:
Ganon bores me, and he's one of those "Let's hype this character because he/she is one of if not the worst characters in the game" kinda routines. Besides, I rather stick with my mains and keep em polished. It's my principal.

Considering how surprisingly well Dark Moon has performed -- 3.7mil globally as of December 2013 -- I think we'll be seeing more Luigi's Mansion in the future.
That is great news, Luigi's Mansion was one of my favorite Gamecube games, I was a fan of Luigi far before Luigi's Mansion, but the game certainly reaffirmed my adoration for the character. I have waited about a decade for a sequel, one that never came... until Dark Moon that is.

This means so much. We've been planning it for months but it never happened. Until today.

So happy I could cry! :awesome::sadeyes::cry:

Are you going to link your channel or something? I would be interested in checking it out.
