...I'm SO happy that Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 are coming my way this October...

Oh, I'm sorry. That's just me realizing how long we've been waiting for SSB4.

Here is some news. Not sure if posted elsewhere.

http://dustycartridge.com/features/a-chat-with-tekken-series-director-katsuhiro-harada-part-2/
Obviously people are saying many things since we are developing the next Smash Bros. We’re very excited that Nintendo chose us, and most they likely did because Namco Bandai has a very good track record with fighting games such as the Tekken series. We have a lot of experience and knowledge regarding this particular genre, that’s probably one of the factors in their decision. That being said, although we’ll help provide support on technology and other things involved creating the game, I’m currently very focused on the Tekken series. Some people might say online that I’m going to be involved in the development process or not but that shouldn’t really be an issue because the game design is going to be handled Masahiro Sakurai. So I don’t understand why there would be any worries there.

I mentioned in a past interview recently that the Tekken characters are something that maybe long time fans of the Smash Bros. series don’t really expect, so maybe they won’t be in there. The feedback was very mixed, there were 2 camps, one said “Harada, you’re very right, we don’t need the Tekken characters in Smash Bros, good job.” It’s nice that they agree with me but on the other hand, they themselves don’t exactly need Tekken characters in Smash Bros. so it’s kind of complex. Then there’s the other half were people saying “No you’re totally wrong, we want Tekken and Soul Calibur characters in the game otherwise why does it need to be developed be Namco Bandai” so there’s really two different sides and it’s difficult to choose one. Obviously I’m not going to say to Sakurai, “We want Tekken characters, please put it in” that’s not the case so people don’t have to worry about that. The sole decision will probably be made in a way that if more people want Tekken characters in it then Sakurai might choose to do so, if not then so be it.

So basicly he's saying Tekken characters will be in Smash.May not buy.:urg:Pac man would fit,but any other Namco character would not only fill up much needed 3rd party roster space(no Sonic:c),but also get a negative response from most fans.

That isn't the case at all Tyrogue

If anything, Harada's statements just confirm what most of us has always thought: a little unlikely, but overall the chances for a Tekken character are still up in the air so it's possible

What it's actually means is Sakurai chooses, and just because Namco is working on it doesn't mean Namco characters will be in.

Can we get some news please?Something from Sakurai or a teaser and not some interview with a Namco developer sworn to secrecy who can't tell us anything or a 3 day count down teaser that turns out to be something else!:mad:

And am I the only one who saw the anime kid (a.k.a dettadeus's avatar) yesterday morning(see earlier posts)?I think it's some sort of glitch or something,but why dettadeus's avatar?:confused:

"...currently planned to release on..."

Stopped reading there. There's no way in hell they have a release date of ANY kind ready. And I severely doubt Sakurai will respond to this when he's at that CEDC thing that's happening August 10.

100% Crap.

WE should e-mail them anonymously and tell them because of the VGT poll that skull kid is going to be in the next smash and Miyamoto is considering remaking majora's mask because of it and see if they go crazy

Wow, that rumor is laughably bad. The Universe rumor was gold compared to that.
I eagerly wait the inevitable more plausible rumors....

Plus I'm still mad at Zelda Informer for getting my hopes up about Banjo-Kazooie (although I mostly blame myself for that one :embarrass::rolleyes:)

Finally, someone gets it. As if being told that Zoroark/Krom are shoo-ins because of relevance is bad enough (at least those two are realistic possibilities), it gets even worse that people are expecting not one, but two Namco reps (or even more).

The fact that Pac-Man is considered among the Top 10 (or 5) most likely newcomers is sad as it reeks of bandwagon support.
Worst Smash Bros rumor ever. This is just laughable. Enjoy!

Honestly the tipster was probably from some goon around here...
It's hilarious how they're throwing rumors like that out there. They're clearing doing this for the hits.

I so look forward to those more plausible rumors. Those will be fun to get into.

The TMNT smash bros game was like Soul Calibur 2 in that it was published on multiple consoles, so they included special characters from popular franchises on each system so people would actually buy it/ be more hyped about it.

But because smash bros is nintendo systems exclusive they have no need for characters like Pacman to get us hyped for their game because people who own nintendo consoles already favor nintendo characters like Link and Starfox.

But they got nothin' to lose by adding 3rd party characters. I mean it's not like someone is going to not buy the game BECAUSE so and so is in it.

Are you saying that they should put Sony and Microsoft characters in the next game?That's ridiculous!:rotfl:

Guys, Sakurai posted a video (an hour ago) on Twitter detailing how Smash Bros. WiiU and 3DS' gameplay will look like!
LOL how Meta Knight plays.

Better idea: Tell them that the WiiU smash bros. game will be 100% all about Zelda, and will feature such popular Zelda characters as THE KING, Saria, Error, Orca, Link's Uncle from A Link to the Past, Ralph from the Oracle games, Hooded Zelda, Young Zelda, Four Swords Link, that Goron kid who cries a lot in Majora's Mask, the Four Giants, a random Hylian soldier, Link's grandmother in the Wind Waker, and the Majora's Mask Moon! :troll:

Well, they at least lost 1 sale because they added those special characters.

I specifically skipped the game because of it

Maybe it was Schrödinger's cat

Sakurai's cat confirmed to replace Nintendogs assist!

also, I will probably want to start a rumor over the fall if there are no screenshots of the game by then... i'd want to make a character already in brawl fighting a newcomer using totally new designs... that way people would have to say ZOMG IZ SMASH CUZ NUTHIN LOOKZ LIEK DAT! SAKURAI DA BESS!!
it would have textures high polygon count and some stage... i dunno... skyloft i guess...

I will probably use a camera to capture the monitor and then upload it to reddit or 4chan... or something....... nahhhh i'm terrible at this leak stuff, i'd probably be found out...
