Exactly... Toad being playable in Super Mario 3D World made me hype for the game more than Peach being playable and I was already hyped for her when I saw her doing her classic floating jump. I got an urge to replay SMB2 on Wii Virtual Console... maybe play the whole game as Toad only.
Smash Bros 4 3DS and 4 Wii U!
Some on GAF are saying that the way the logos are and Sakurai refers to the title on YouTube indicate the game will be called Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U. Beyond that speculation, no clue.
Truth be told, when I was filling out Club Nintendo surveys after registering my Mario games (SMG2, NSMBWii, SM3DL, NSMB2, M&L:BIS, MK7)... I kept asking for Toad to have more playable roles alongside Mario and Luigi and I kept asking for Peach to be playable because I kept bringing up SMB2... lo and behold, Toads are playable in NSMBWii, NSMBU, NSLU, and SM3DW (with Peach to boot!). Let's see if they fulfill my requests for a playable Toad in SSB4.
) before he was confirmed and literally no one suggested Wii Fit Trainer because we all saw her as such that we didn't bother toying with the notion.
Uhhh...
I was always asking for Nintendo to stop portraying Toad as a spineless weakling (SMB3, SM64, SMS, SMG, Mario RPG games, Melee/Brawl). I demanded that they return his backbone he had in SMB2. I wanted Toad to have an active role in the games as opposed to as a NPC who gave you items. So I am happy that not only Toad, but even generic Toads, have backbones and are as active as the Mario Bros.
Toad is more wanted and is a classic character who was brought back to the spotlight with NSMBWii, NSMBU, NSLU, and SM3DW.
No interview? There was a Developer Direct that involved Super Smash Bros., where Sakurai explained varies details about the game.
There are more than one Toad in the Mario games, you know. Toad being playable shouldn't affect Peach's moveset.
That was not an interview, that was Sakurai talking to a camera. I am talking abut Sakurai giving information to the media.
This is exactly what we need. We need an actual reporter asking him legitimate questions so we can have a few things answered. I was really hoping for some interviews where he might discuss roster size, newcomers, etc.
Agreed. I loved how Bowser looked in Brawl. Everything about him was awesome. However, I wasn't pissed that they changed his design in Smash 4. It makes perfect sense that they would change him for Smash 4. Bowser DOESN'T look awesome in the canon. He's goofy and ridiculous.
Toad's chances are unaffected by this game.
I never felt so angry when I was lied to about toad being in Super Smash bros. Melee...
Yeah it's definitely weird. Honestly I would have thought we would have gotten at least some comments from him or Capcom on Mega Man's appearance. And here I was hoping to start updating the Directory thread.
Same here with Toad and Dixie. Toad hasn't really gotten anything to help boost him, it's still just another game where he's a Mario clone. Dixie Kong definitely received the biggest boost due to her previous problem, if we can even call it one, of not having been in any recent DK games now being fixed.
a) It was completely uncalled for, asshole.Ohh how pissed Golden was when I replied to his Dixie being playable lowered K.Rool's chances with the fact that Toad is playable in the new Mario game and not Waluigi or Dr.Mario.
It's more or less dependent on if Pac-Man, Little Mac and Mii gets confirmed today. If so, then I'll have to re-evaluate his chances (along with everyone else), but if not, then I feel as a Mario addition is overall unlikely since I don't see it getting priority over the likes of Ridley, a DK rep (K. Rool and/or Dixie), Mewtwo, a FE rep (Roy and/or Chrom), a Kid Icarus rep, etc.
Yeah, it kind of surprises me here. Whatever the case is, I maintain that Sakurai enthusiastic attitude made Mega Man possible (I don't think he would do third-parties again if he had a similar attitude as in Brawl's development). Nevertheless, I really want to see Sakurai comment on Mega Man.
At this rate for many characters, it's a make or break moment for them, Toad being one of them. If he fails to get in now, he's probably not ever going to get in a Smash Bros. games and X amount of appearance isn't going to do anything.
I also asked for those plus more Waluigi, Wario, and Daisy (especially in RPGs since it just doesn't make sense since you already have large castes of characters).Truth be told, when I was filling out Club Nintendo surveys after registering my Mario games (SMG2, NSMBWii, SM3DL, NSMB2, M&L:BIS, MK7)... I kept asking for Toad to have more playable roles alongside Mario and Luigi and I kept asking for Peach to be playable because I kept bringing up SMB2... lo and behold, Toads are playable in NSMBWii, NSMBU, NSLU, and SM3DW (with Peach to boot!). Let's see if they fulfill my requests for a playable Toad in SSB4.
Yeah he does run faster but it isn't anything new. He was faster than them already in SMB2, which did come out before Smash 4 was announced. Nothing has really changed outside of it being another game on his resume.Toad runs faster than Mario, Luigi, and Peach in SM3DW and is said to be for advanced players (Peach is said to be for beginner players). I guess Toad's poor jumping height and fastest running speed make a platformer game more challenging.
Exactly, another playable role in an A-list Mario game that will no doubt sell millions added to his already impressive resume. It's like I said before, Nintendo is starting to give Toad more attention... maybe we might even have a Year of Toad in 2015 (30th anniversary) or even 2025 (40th anniversary).
