Super Smash Bros 4 (Wii U/3DS) Topic

[Sharkarat]

I think since Sakurai said Capcom characters are definitely going to be in it, then all the characters will look like those altered NES Mega Man sprites you see everywhere by very talented spriters. I mean Sakurai said it's difficult to accommodate the different styles between third-party characters, so this is the obvious solution.

Wouldn't call myself talented at it, but I tried making a mega man style pikachu

 

[Diddy Kong]

I remember that like a year or longer back or so, I challenged people in Brawl: defeat my Diddy (with Sheik- but most ended up using their own mains) and I'll shut up about Impa replacing Sheik forever.

I wasn't beat.

 

[Oasis_S]

You big bully.

 

[ChronoBound]

I'd like to see Smash take a more cartoony style a la Smash 64 than the relatively realistic style it had in Melee and Brawl.

I would like to see this too. The realism in Brawl's style got to be a bit creepy.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Melee looked realistic? Samus looked like a toy power ranger...still i loved it though the grapchics were soo smooth and sharp brawl might have had better graphics but melee looked better imo.

Brawl to blurry and washed out..i didnt like D.K's fur effect....

 

[Moon Monkey]

Yeah i want better fur from DK this time around! He has come so far from 64, I also they find the perfect blend between cartoony and real. I'd hate to see this as Mario

 

[Vintage Creep]

Tomorrow there's a Direct focusing on summer games.
So it's pretty safe to say that we won't see Sm4sh in it.
Still...

 

[Frostwraith]

Another Nintendo Direct and possibly the first of many. The European one starts at 3 PM WET / 4 PM CET.

 

[Curious Villager]

Another direct? Great! I've been hoping for another one, even though the last wasn't that long ago.

 

[Baskerville]

Just read them on GAF, please show more of X

Where do you guys get this information? Lol. ._.

 

[Curious Villager]

Where do you guys get this information? Lol. ._.

From Nintendo themselves (Nintendo of Europe site).

Nintendo of America site (also says they will discuss future Fall and onwards Wii U games in a Nintendo Direct before the start of E3).

 

[Frostwraith]

Too bad I won't be able to watch it live... I have class from 2:30 PM to 4 PM and Nintendo Direct starts at 3 PM...

My hype levels are rising...

 

[Deleted member]

Damn, I'm going to miss this one.

 

[Big-Cat]

Once again, I'm glad this is in the morning here. I have to leave for my graduation starting at 3 PM. Speaking of graduations, what song would you replace that tired Pomp and Circumstance with?

 

[Vintage Creep]

Me too but heh, it'll probably be about release dates and that's all. Maybe 1 ONE announcement, like Mario Kart, I expect nothing more

 

[Wario Bros.]

Well, shoot I don't get home from work until 10:30 EST tomorrow so I'll have to miss it live. But thankfully I finished my Bingo sheet before a Nintendo Direct came out.

 

[FlareHabanero]

God dammit, why the hell must these conferences always be broadcast during working hours? How can I enjoy ****storms if they don't compliment my schedule?

 

[Curious Villager]

Guess I'm one of the few lucky ones who has a day off on Friday...

I'm not really expecting something big but I'm still going to look forward to it anyway.

 

[Vintage Creep]

My expectations:
- Release date for Game & Wario for EU and NA with the announcement of it being at special price (30/40 bucks)
- Finally release date for Pikmin 3 worldwide, before september
- Release month/date for Wonderful 101, around september too
- Official release date for Pokémon X and Y, now with the date and not only the month
- Information about the release month for the Layton / Ace Attorney series in EU and NA, sadly I expect some of the Layton games to be downloadable only too like Ace Attorney 5
- Some news about the Super Luigi DLC
- Release date for Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Mario Party 3DS
- Release month for Zelda 3DS, I expect november/december
- Some new footage of all the above
- A new game already announced but never shown, probably Mario Kart U or Wii Fit U, with release date
- Iwata says goodbye and announces another Nintendo Direct next week

It's maybe too much but 90% of it would be only info about release dates, so I guess this is possible.

 

[~automatic]

I'm a bit of a early bird but I can always see a recap of the main things on Kotaku if I miss the ND (which will be on at 7AM my time).

Speaking of graduations, what song would you replace that tired Pomp and Circumstance with?

Beethoven's string quartet #13 (which I posted earlier)
Tales of Legendia OST - Seeking Victory
Bach's Brandenburg No. 2 Part 1
Fire Emblem: Awakening OST - Don't Speak Her Name

EDIT: The OoT medley from Brawl's Soundtrack would also be a decent choice imo.

 

[---]

Wow a Direct already? I would have thought we'd get one around the the end of the month/in another 2 weeks. Not really sure what to expect given how early it is, would personally hope it covers the stuff we know already coming out (Game & Wario/101/Pikmin 3) so they don't clog up the main conference which I doubt this is.

They say it's about first party summer titles for Wii U and 3DS.
It's not the time for the bombs already.

I also have a day off, but on Wednesdays instead...

I'm not expecting much, but I would be quite happy if they pulled a nice surprise.

Yeah, a Direct already was unexpected. I'm not getting my hopes very high on this one, honestly.

I expect it to be some release dates for previously announced titles.

It's not the time for the bombs already.

It would be foolish if they dropped the bombs too soon. They will probably announce some release dates for some games and nothing much more.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I expect a new Direct every week leading up to E3 anyway. Maybe some of them focused on one or two games only (new 3D Mario + Sm4sh would be a nice combo).

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I hope they reveal sylveon's typing at E3

 

[Wario Bros.]

I hope they reveal sylveon's typing at E3

I can tell you right now we aren't getting any Pokémon news at any Pre-E3 Nintendo Direct or E3 show. Pokémon games have NEVER been presented at any Nintendo E3 show (the only exception being Pokédex 3D but that was released before the E3 show and was nothing more than a free and incomplete app.) Pokémon will sell no matter when it was announced making it unneeded to have any recognition at E3's. If you want Pokémon news then start looking at the monthly CoroCoro comics & weekly Pokémon Smash show (which then Nintendo will tell the same news in English speaking regions online not long after its CoroCoro & Pokémon Smash reveal in Japan.)

I don't think that's the main reason we never get Pokémon in E3's...
I think the main reason was the big ****ing gap between the Japanese launch of a Pokémon game and its Western launch.
The E3 usually[always] happen when the "new Pokémon game" hype is happening in Japan. And ONLY in Japan, because it's only gonna launch there.
So the game launches in Japan by Fall, and comes here around 5~6 months later. E3 doesn't get that hype because it doesn't happen when the hype itself is happening.

Well... At least that's how I see it.

I do think they could/might say something about Pokémon this year, now that it's gonna be out around the world in the same day[hooray].

I hope I was clear enough, I keep getting lost in my own thoughts as I write, so sometimes it could be confusing to read my bigger texts. Heh.

 

[Big-Cat]

Actually, X and Y are having an international launch.

Didn't read all the way.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

I'm still amazed at how such a large part of the pokemon community are so lost as to what this pink and white pokemon is that uses many normal moves and has a bow and has scarf-like appendages, all the while possessing no distinctive features outside of these. Truly a mystery indeed.

 

[N3ON]

Just counting the existing types, going by design Normal makes the most sense for Sylveon, but my bets on the rumored Fairy-type. Normally I don't buy into rumors of new types, but this one seems a bit more believable than others. I'm wondering if they'll stick with Fairy internationally or will go for "Light" type or something.

But yeah, I doubt we get any Pokemon info at E3. At least, no X/Y info, maybe a spin-off or something, we've got that at E3 before.

Also looking forward to that Direct tomorrow. I usually like to keep my hopes low for Directs, but considering this is like the first of the E3 Directs and they'll be talking about the Wii U, I hope we get a new game reveal or something. At least more info on what we already know so future Directs can be purely new stuff. I'm also not expecting any Smash for this Direct.

 

[volbound1700]

IGN reported that there would be a Smash trailer at E3, is that not happening now?

 

[N3ON]

It could still happen, but all that we've actually had confirmed is "screenshots", (IGN likes to assume things) though knowing Sakurai a trailer is very likely. It's just a question of when we'll get the trailer. Nintendo is normally hard to predict at E3, especially with Smash, but now that they're changing things up even more and doing multiple Directs and no main conference, all we can really do is guess. It could even be tomorrow (though it probably won't be).

Why this question?

Considering they showed it's weaknesses and resistances in pokemon smash, and it doesn't fit any current type, a new type is very possible.

If the skit was accurate and to be believed

 

[Vintage Creep]

A new type is basically official now, it's fairy.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Saw the email for the new direct and quite pumped to see what we're getting.

Want Smash to mix in Melee's cartoony + detail-style with the animeish artwork akin to KIU.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Wut.

Anyway tomorrow's Direct probably won't be about Sm4sh.

 

[CombustingFetus]

I should be around tomorrow for the ND, unless I'm asleep.

...

Yeah, I'll probably be asleep.
