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

[---]

Why are you saying Smash technically exists? Just because we're not seeing anything doesn't mean it's in a vague area or anything like that. Nintendo's been doing a strong policy, after all, to only show new games that are going to be out in a year. Realistically, that won't happen until some time next year.

They did say that they have the basic system all up and running, or something like that. I don't remember exactly right now, nor do I want to get into an arguement over it.

Frankly, I'm looking more towards New Super Mario Bros. U right now.

After finishing NSMBWii the other week, I'm definitely more excited now to see how the game turns out. Hopefully more new than NSMB2...

 

[GiantBreadbug]

The only things that made me not adore NSMB2 were the recycled environments and music.

Mario is as much about "wow" inducing and magical level design as it is about straight up smooth platforming. The NSMB titles have this stale sigma, and somewhat rightly so, because they haven't really strayed too much from the first title in terms of environments and variety of level design. NSMB2 is most guilty of this.

But honestly, though, NSMB was a great revival, and NSMBWii was a fun sequel that pretty much brought about the modern use of multiplayer in platformers.

I think NSMB2 had to bring something new gameplay wise, or just have really inspired level design (ideally, both). The gold affixation wasn't really enough for most, and rightly so. The game is still a blast, but it suffered from bad timing, coming out so quickly and so closely to NSMBU.


It probably would've been best to delay NSMB2 for awhile and really put everything they had into it. Release it in late 2013, maybe.

It would've put some distance between it and NSMBU. The two launching so close just makes the "rehash" argument easier.

Ultimately, though, NSMBU looks like it's really a breath of fresh air, even though I think the series has only had one really uninspired entry (NSMB2). So maybe breath of fresh air isn't the right term. I think it's looking really great and original, and I think it'll hush the naysayers of the NSM series.

I think it'll probably be either NSMBU or Rayman Legends for me at launch. I've got NintendoLand with the Deluxe SDK, so that's a pretty awesome launch to me.

 

[SmashShadow]

Oh! The price isn't nearly as high as I thought it would be. Now I have money to buy a couple extra games too.

 

[Inawordyes]

I hope there is a Xenoblade II at some point for the WII U. Yeah....

 

[N3ON]

Well Monolith is working on a Wii U game, but I doubt it's a sequel to Xenoblade, as much as I'd like that as well. A while ago there were rumors it was a Baten Kaitos sequel, but I never really followed that rumor very much, it could've been disproved a long time ago.

I'd guess (considering the success of Xenoblade), that a sequel wouldn't be impossible, and we might even see one for the Wii U, but I'm guessing it would still be several years away.

However, Shulk in SSB4 would definitely help maintain popularity for the series and encourage requests for a sequel.

please yes!!! Xenoblade's my favorite!
Even with the good price, I'd like to know how much Wii U games are going to be. I'd like a confirmation on that really soon.

 

[augustoflores]

question, is xenoblade chronicles a chronicle of it's own? or does it imply there is more to it? does it feel like the way Crystal Chronicles was presented? like having lore that could instigate more out of it?
and i do believe it is a baiten kaitos game they are working on...

EDIT: Wii U games are suggested at 59.99

 

[yani]

It has been confirmed yesterday that Monolith Soft is working on a new IP. I'm happy to hear that..but I do hope we get a Xenoblade sequel too.

 

[Baskerville]

The amount of salt about Bayonetta 2 being exclusive is simply outstanding. Its like these people don't seem to grasp business decisions, if it wasn't for Nintendo Bayonetta 2 would never come to life.

EDIT: BAYONETTA CONFIRMED!

 

[Aurane]

What a boring event. Nice to know the price, but it's not really worth it for over 300 bucks.

Did you expect it to be any lower? In full honesty?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

1) Bayonetta REALLY doesn't look like my kind of game so I don't care about it
2) I'm probably going to get the black wii-u
3) Can you use an external hard drive with the black wii-u?

 

[Pichu4SSB4]

I don't think an external hard for Wii U has been confirmed yet, but i'm guessing you'll be able to use SD cards for extra data storage just like the Wii did.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Yeah, actually, it's been confirmed that the Wii U will work with USB hard drives. By the Regginator himself, no less.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

While I do have a 500 GB hard drive at my home, its USB connection has gotten quite lousy lately, making it not very reliable for data storage anymore.

Of course, I did recently get hold of a 128 GB USB Flash Drive, but it's primarily used to play my Wii titles with the WiiFlow application.

Regardless of the situation though, I'll just play it by ear.

Not really that surprising to me.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Wii supplies were quite limited when they were released, so it's not too surprising that the Wii U will deal with the same dilemma too, regardless of its price.

 

[Metal Overlord]

Lol, I legit squealed when I saw the "Namco Bandai Releases New Smash 4 Footage!" headline at the top of the page, only to find out what it really was

Still hyped, though, for Tekken Tag 2 that is

 

[Wario Bros.]

Yeah, when I heard about that GameStop thing I went and preordered the Deluxe set a couple hours ago just to be safe.

Wii U: Hype Get!

 

[augustoflores]

It's a fear tactic, in actuality, they do have more than they say, but will only give them out and say there's limited quantity so people preorder more. more preorders = guaranteed launch sales (allegedly).

Some people online are posting that some GameStops have stopped taking preorders for the Deluxe set. And rumor or not, I'm not making the same mistake I did with the Wii: didn't preorder it and thus I was camping at stores with zero luck and had to overpay via eBay months after launch just to get it.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Now I'm feeling really paranoid that the cashier at Gamestop accidentally made my preorder for a Standard rather than a Deluxe...

Then I'll walk in on launch day and be stuck with a white console and no NintendoLand...

I think I should call to double-check.

 

[Deleted member]

I really don't want to get the White Wii-U. For $50 more, you can get 32 GB and a game for the black Wii U.

Though if the deal for the Deluxe Wii-U is truly limited, I'm going to wait until Nintendo upgrades the 8 GB to a 32+ GB before buying it... and under $400.

 

[augustoflores]

There will be no price cut for 3-4 years.

1 TerraByte hard drive costs around 80 - 90. if you plan on using a lot of memory for downloadable games, there's that option, and comboing with the basic saves you 50 along with the possibility you don't want nintendoland.
this puts a basic at 390 + 60 for Blops2 or Assassin's Creed III... 450... plus tax. 476... wish i had a job.... i think gamestop salesmen get it for free if the manager doesn't already have dibs on every sided console.

 

[Aurane]

Aye, I'll be waiting for a long time for the WiiU. I'm only interested in SSB4 for the WiiU, and that won't be out for awhile. Until something better comes out, I'll wait and see if I can get a WiiU at a lower price.

And there are many ways that can happen. Someone might of pawned theirs because they didn't like it... It's been dropped in price due to some sale... So on. That's how I got a Wii.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I waited 2 years to get a wii

It was mostly because stores were constantly sold out of them.

Seriously, the only reason no one got me a wii for christmas was because no one could find one

I don't know if that was only a local thing, wii's being mostly sold out for nearly 2 years or what

I'm sure if I tried hard enough I could have found one though

Lol same here. Every store my parents went to to find one was always sold out. I imagine it might be true of the Wii U as well.

And I don't mind not getting the 32 gigs, since I'll oribably just but a hard drive anyway, but I'm worried that if I don't get the Deluxe set I'll never get a chance to even try Nintendo Land.

 

[yani]

I preordered my Deluxe Wii-U yesterday. Very happy

 

[Pichu4SSB4]

Yeah, actually, it's been confirmed that the Wii U will work with USB hard drives. By the Regginator himself, no less.

Oh i see, i didn't watch the american conference. Watched the one for Europeans. :D

 

[Sword_kirby777]

So, alright, I just called my local GameStop, and the manager told me that the Deluxe Wii-U preorders sold out 28 hours after the announcement. I may just have to suck it up and get all the money together and order it from Nintendo directly. May not work though. I has a sadface.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Yeah, called my local GameStop today and they said they're also all sold out of the Deluxe set. Good thing I preordered my yesterday!

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Or you could, y'know, order one online. Or from a store like Target or Walmart or something. Or a gaming store that isn't Gamestop

 

[Baskerville]

Amazon are actually selling the Premium bundle for only £250. Haven't got the money...

 

[~automatic]

it looks like I'm going to have to wait out the first months for the WiiU's launch, lol.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

it looks like I'm going to have to wait out the first months for the WiiU's launch, lol.

I'll probably be waiting longer, since I'm trying to save money right now.

Trying being the key word.

 

[~automatic]

Go wash windshields at stop lights. Earn a bunch of dollars and buy that WiiU!!!!!!!

 

[Pichu4SSB4]

I feel so guilty, knowing that i'm in the position to be able to buy the Premium Wii Set with most launch titles. While most people aren't.

Don't know if you guys have caught wind of this, but apparently "a good bit" of Rayman Legends's Single Player campaign is using Murphy to guide an AI-controlled Rayman via the GamePad.

If I were on a bit more competent device, I'd find the video, but one of the game's directors was talking about it to Nintendo World Report. Everyone should go look it up and interpret it yourselves, but I'm going to cling to the hope that there was a miscommunication.

There's no way Ancel, or Ubisoft for that matter, would let this happen. For a couple of levels sure, it's a neat idea, but for it to comprise a huge portion of the game? No.
