I just think back to that June Nintendo Direct where they were just casually talking about games and stuff, then suddenly, "Hey guys by the way Namco-Bandai is co-developing Smash 4 no big deal or anything," out of nowhere.

I'd like to think that could happen tomorrow. It can. Right? RIGHT?

No, not by any indications or statements thus far.

Super Edit: To add fuel to my totally silly fire, the JP ND has been announced for tomorrow as well, and features 3DS news as well as information on Wii U titles that have already been announced. And Smash Wii U has technically been announced. GET HYPED because you totally know it's gonna happen. And if it doesn't I will flip all of my tables.

But nothing will probably happen, so I'm going to put all my tables upside down tonight so that when I flip them tomorrow, they'll be rightside up.

While this isn't news, I think I should post this just to show that Nintendo hasn't forgotten about Smash. It's kinda cool they're mentioning it when going over all the financial reports they were releasing though.

"Brand new title" & "Monolith Soft Inc." = HYPE

That reminds me. Does anyone remember that Nintendo had licensed a trademark called Amaterasu?

I noticed that Smash 3DS wasn't listed under Japan's 3DS list. Must've been an oversight.

Curiosity

I notice that many people in this thread link to GoNintendo or other independent Nintendo news sites which seem to publish a lot of menial content. Is there a particular reason why?

I use GoNintendo a ton as that site collects a ton of Nintendo related info from a huge number of websites/sources and puts them all on one website for fast and convenient information. Plus GoNintendo has never been biased, have been completely reliable and accurate on pretty much everything posted, and I don't have to wait long for them to update.

Mostly because it's faster than waiting for some of the larger sites to update hours later. Either way people are desperate for any little mention (as a lot of it I wouldn't call it news) of Smash 4 and it helps pass the time (since some people have been at this since Brawl came out).

If you're having a problem with people posting stuff like this right now, you better buckle down for when we get some legit news in the coming weeks/months. Looking back though, it's rather amazing how quickly news spreads these days. lol

Smaller sites do have to collect info from everywhere (which isn't a bad or odd thing considering many important news outlets share and collect content) but reporting on 3rd party hardware seen at Walmart and price drops for things no one cares about as much seems like content for the sake of more content.

No bias is always great; specially considering how IGN and Gamespot have Microsoft and Sony bias respectively. Not to mention they also publish some pedestrian content (though not as much as smaller sites) from time to time.

You're acting like that's the only thing GoNintendo reports. Yes, we do get that kind of stuff that but it doesn't appear anywhere near as much as any other topic on the site (and I can see some people seeing price drops useful).

I like how the My Little Pony fighter has almost twice as many votes as PlayStation Allstars, lmao. Sadly PS is a sponsor so AllStars will definitely make it into the actual tourney lineup whether people are hype about it or not.

Voted Brawl, Melee, Ponies and Korea vs. Mexico (KoF13) btw.

Can you blame them? Fighting is Magic's been looking really good so far, especially for a fan game. xD

Not really since you can't form a team. It's more like Marvel or Darkstalkers to me.

Or the awesome, very different characters. And boobs, it won't have boobs.

Since all characters would basically have the same body shape and they can't do anything as creepy or bizarre as Darkstalkers

That would mainly apply to the Mane 6. You've got the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Big Macintosh, Spike, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, etc.

Yeah, I don't watch pony shows. I had to google those things

The only kid cartoon for me that's on these days is TMNT

Well, as a technicality, they're only adding season one characters, apparently, so Cadance and Shining are no-gos.

:lol:

Why are we talking about ponies in Smash discussion.....?

I know bronies like to put ponies in everything, but this is ridiculous.

Woo, page 100! Please no Spidey for smash, worst well known superhero besides Aquaman.
What began as a social discussion thread for SSB4 escalated into a pony and spiderman argument which has decimated the fighting game community. . . (TA)
