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

[Big-Cat]

Technically, it had been in work even longer, possibly as far back as October 2011 (since that was the original starting time). At the very least, we do know for a fact that Namco was working on a working prototype prior to Uprising's release.

 

[BKupa666]

Time surely does fly. In fact, just yesterday was the five year anniversary of the day Reggie "promised" Brawl would be released at E3 2007.

Anyways, last minute character reveal predictions, in the case a trailer -is- shown: Ridley first, then four others, including Little Mac and Megaman.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Still, don't get your hopes up just yet unless you love being disappointed.

 

[BKupa666]

I doubt this event will yield much of anything, though how awesome would it be to get the trailer out of the way here, and give the alleged demo facetime at E3??

Basically.

 

[Deleted member]

I don't think we'll get anything, but if we do, this is my trailer prediction for newcomers (I've been sticking to this for a long time):
Ridley
Palutena
Little Mac
Takamaru
Maybe Mega Man

Been playing this on my head for a long time. This just make too much sense.

GOOD news everyone!

Turns out the Japanese Nintendo Direct will happen 6 hours earlier than the US one. I severally doubt it'll have anything Smash related, if at the most a progress report. Still there's nothing like another Nintendo Direct to start up some activity around here.

 

[Pyra]

Well, the game was only confirmed in E3 so technically nothing about the game has been revealed considering there's no game footages yet. xD

Then I must have taken you too literally.
I was joking anyway.

I'm doing like everyone else and hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

You're expecting a nuclear war between the US and China?

 

[Pyra]

That's what I'm assuming everyone else is doing, yes.
Why?

 

[FlareHabanero]

I'm doing like everyone else and hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

So I presume the worst case scenario would be Iwata prematurely closing the stream because of a lion catching the place on fire right before we get the trailer for Super Smash Bros. and everyone dies while their families watch in absolute horror?

 

[Big-Cat]

If all in the air in the world turned into wood?

I like where this is going?

 

[Opossum]

And the Four Horsemen of he Apocalypse show up to seal the deal, but with their annoying tag-a-long kid brother, the Fifth Horseman, to complete the set of Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death with Annoyance?

 

[FlareHabanero]

If all in the air in the world turned into wood?

That would actually be the second worst case scenario, next to all the air in the world turning into sulfuric acid.

 

[Big-Cat]

There is no fifth horsemen. Only the horse named Molestia.

EDIT: Okay, okay. The fifth horseman could be Jiz riding Molestia.

Exactly same charactes that I was thinking for trailer, but sometime I would randomly change them with someone else that could make sense.

 

[Gamingboy]

My guesses for trailer when it comes is similar:
Ridley
A customizable Mii (you may hate it, but look deep down: you know it's coming)
Zoroark
Takamaru
Baby Bowser
SURPRISE GUEST STAR: Pac-Man

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Hmm? Reveals.

Ridley
5th Gen Character
3rd Party Character
Medusa
Bowser Jr./Dr. Mario/Paper Mario/Waluigi(a Mario or somewhat related one).

RUMOR: Nintendo acquiring Sega?

I don't know if anyone here knows, but there seems to be a rumor claiming that Nintendo plans to acquire Sega.

check it out here.

If this is, indeed, true, you know what it would mean for the future of Smash...

 

[Pyra]

Yes. I can expect that.

If this is actually turns out to be true then... then
. . . . . . . . . .
I don't even know what to say.

yeah... when I found that out, I was pretty much shocked as well.

if this does happen, expect Sonic to return in SSB4, since he gets promoted to a first party character... just the idea of Sonic becoming a Nintendo character is weird... it would be an interesting twist, anyway.

 

[Baskerville]

Such an ironic fate for Sega if it is. Once rival companies now they've merged together.

 

[Deleted member]

It means more than just Sonic and pals.
It would mean other Sega characters that are Nintendo relevant would have a major shot at Smash, and there's quite a bit of them.

indeed... Super Monkey Ball suddenly pops in my head and does The Conduit and NiGHTS...

Is Bayonetta propriety of Sega? because if it is, and if this rumor is true, it would mean that all Bayonetta games from now on would be all Nintendo exclusives, meaning some fans wouldn't be happy, considering the massive ****storm that happened with Bayonetta 2...

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Looking at the video and the source... you call this a rumor? Seriously?

This guy just throws out some story we don't even have any clue if it's even true and secondly, I don't even see why Nintendo WOULD WANT to buy SEGA during these current times. They'd definitely be restricted from releasing games outside of Nintendo-platforms if it happened which would hinder SEGA's distribution of it's games.

So yeah, not buying this rumor at all... seeing how it just is coming only from a certain hiphop-man's mouth.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Considering that Sega is in a bit of a financial rut and has been all buddy-buddy with Nintendo, the possibility of the two companies fusing in a vein similar to Namco Bandai isn't exactly that obscure.

Still, it's going to be a while before we see "Nintendo Sega", if even that at all.

that's why it's a rumor... it may (read: it's likely) not be true...

then again, I originally saw this link in the GameFAQs boards, so try not to take it too seriously.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Definitely ironic, but not unheard of. Remember Square-Enix?

 

[N3ON]

I wouldn't put much stock in Nintendo buying Sega rumors, we've heard them for like a decade by now.

Especially from this article, which seems... less than credible.

If by some ridiculous chance this hypothetically turned out to be true (which it won't), it would likely only result in more Sonic characters and possibly Bayonetta becoming playable in Smash. In Smash 4 at least. While I would love to see characters like NiGHTS, I don't think it would be especially likely.

And I know I'm late with this, but anybody expecting Smash at the Nintendo Direct later is going to be left disappointed.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

N30N: From what I've seen from the japanese one, it mostly showcases the already announced games for 3DS and Wii U coming next year.

 

[Baskerville]

Like the people on NeoGAF hype up every Nintendo Direct like its E3 and get disappointed. You'd think they would learn by now.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

It's always like that though. ND's usually are about showcasing new stuff and occassionally showing something new, but not too new IMO.

 

[Big-Cat]

As expected, nothing new with Nintendo Direct, but good God, the lighting in Pikmin 3 is marvelous. I was just amazed when the Fiery Blowhog shot out fire. It was such a massive improvement.

 

[---]

Nothing new, not surprising. Pretty much what we all predicted. Nice to see FE13 coming out on Feb. 4, definitely getting it for my Birthday.

 

[N3ON]

Pretty standard ND. Looking forward to Awakening, Feb. 4 needs to get here soon. Pikmin also looks great, but it's slowly sliding further and further from "launch window"

Glad HarmoKnight is coming to the west too, not that it's surprising. Would've liked even a little info about Animal Crossing though...


Still kinda sad to see all the comments asking for a Zelda, Metroid, Starfox, or F-Zero to be announced during the Direct. People get their hopes way too high for these things.

I came in late so I didn't hear that. But sweet, Gamefreak needs to make more non-Pokemon games, too bad the only guest music in that game is from Pokemon...no Pulseman or Drill Dozer?...


Didn't see the NA Nintendo Direct, but the European one confirmed FE13 DLC showing off Marth and Ike. I'd like to take this as a sign they're officially the two most well known FE lords, but it probably doesn't mean anything. Either way DLC is awesome.

That's good to hear. I'll be picking up pretty much all the FE DLC. I hope Roy is one of the first ones released, I won't be able to wait long for him.

I doubt they'd do this, but I'd really hate if some of the Japanese-only lords weren't released as international DLC. Unlikely, of course, but I still want to play as Leaf, Alm, and Celice. And Cellica too, I guess.

 

[Baskerville]

I want a 3DS so bad.

 

[Deleted member]

So for Europe, the first two DLC are Marth and Ike as opposed to Japanese DLC being Marth and Roy (and Leaf, who was released at the same time as Roy) first with Ike being near the last?
Interesting.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I never tried a pikmin game before, but I am excited to try out the game for the first time when the Wii U version comes out

---

Also, Sonic as a Nintendo character would be pretty awesome.

I wonder if they can make a 2D platformer that both of them could be in. Somehow. They have very different mechanics, but if they could pull it off, it would be fantastic
