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

This is new.

Best commercial Nintendo has made in years.

 

[Pyra]

This is new.

I want that superpower.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I want that superpower.

It wasn't a super power. It was a whistle

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Let me just say, I'm glad the commercial is nothing like this..

 

[Fastblade5035]

Alright, I need a break from Smash Bros.

I had a dream last night that Sakurai agreed that Ridley was too big, and he instead put Ridley in an Arwingf/F-Zero car hybrid. Imagine an F-Zero car with Arwing features, and Ridley's head and wings sticking out.

It was terrible.
The worst part is, I'm being 100% honest about this.

EDIT: i first saw Smash 64 in my local Mr. Movies. The idea of Mario fighting Pikachu was awesome to me.

Speaking of good commercials. I instantly wanted smash when I saw this commercial

I first played Smash 64 at my cousin's house IIRC. Played Yoshi. Was good times.

Needs more blast processing. And/or running over the Snuggle bear.

Smash Dreams are the worst

When I blow a whistle, plant people don't run towards my enemies.

Nintendo has produced some comics related to Starfox and Metriod, but i am not sure how recent they were released.
But I would agree, I would much rather have a Nintendo Direct around this time.
But Nintendo is desperate for exposure and will take advantage of any events available to get people aware of the Wii U.

I think a Nintendo WiiU demo area would make sense, but anything other than that or some comic-related series or games doesn't make sense IMO.

As for Nintendo being "desperate," Sony and Microsoft have both done this before numerous times at Comic-Con. Given Nintendo's strong 2014 WiiU lineup (The Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, Super Luigi U, etc), and how much better that lineup is than the PS4 or Xbox One, I don't think they really are that desperate. If anything, they're in the same situation as the Xbox 360 was before the Wii and PS3 came out, albeit the competition is clearly much better this time around (and the WiiU obviously has a higher quality of exclusives than the Xbox 360).

Exactly, but slightly more colorful because of the Arwing stuff.

Smash Dreams are the worst

When Sonic was confirmed in that Nintendo Press Conference viva that trailer, I was blown out of the water. I watched that video a thousand times. Then, I went to bed, and though "man, that was great." I woke up thinking it was a dream and I was like "man, I wish that was true." I log onto the Dojo, and bam! The dream was real confirmed! I couldn't believe it after all this that my dream was real, and that Sonic was got into Smash that way!

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Smash was my first Nintendo game, first played it when I was like 5 or 6

Didn't know any of the characters besides Pikachu

My first Nintendo game was Luigi's Mansion, played it around the age of 4 or 5. It was also one of my first Gamecube games, and the game also introduced me to Pikmin thanks to the trailer in the options menu.

 

[APC99]

My first Nintendo game was Brawl. OBSESSION.

Well maybe "desperate" was the wrong word to use, but with the staggering PS4/XB1 pre-orders and how slow Wii Us have been flying off the shelves, kinda shows the tough position that they are in.
The Wii U doesn't have that ''IT Factor'' that the Wii once had, so I doubt people will be flocking to the Wii U as they once did with Wii.

I'm not denying the Wii U's strong line up, but this is the line up that should have been present during the first 6 months of the Wii U.
These were suppose to be the games that would help build the systems install base and to help entice 3rd party devs to make games for the Wii U.

EA has all but abandoned the platform. Activsion & 2K seem wishy-washy on Wii U support. Which kinda of leaves Ubisoft the only 3rd party to support the Wii U.
Nintendo has an uphill battle trying to pleasing fans and devs now. I'm expecting another Gamecube-esque era from the Wii U, which i don't mind. A sick Smash installment is all I need.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

My first nintendo game was Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES when I was about 4 or 5

 

[Johnknight1]

That just so happens to be my current favorite one of the series to play against my friends.

The game looks like it is a lot better offensively in the air than Melee or Brawl, which IMO is a good thing. Smash 64's sense of stage interaction (especially added with the new teching off of walls and roofs), stage quality, stage variety, and offensive execution is really a long forgotten about thing by most smashers.

Arwridly for smash.

False, Landmastdley.

I remember when I first got a GCN, lol I used to love just staring at the box that it came in because of all the upcoming game screenshots they had on them

My first GCN game that I played though was Metroid Prime

Yeah, but that same thing largely happened with the Xbox 360 against the PS3 and the Wii. The PS3 started strong, and then folded, while the Wii took over. Considering the WiiU is about to get a heck of a lot better games than either console, eventually, that will help sell a lot of WiiU's.

The Wii U doesn't have that ''IT Factor'' that the Wii once had, so I doubt people will be flocking to the Wii U as they once did with Wii.

Part of the WiiU's lack of sales is economical, part of it is poor/limited marketing. All of that in time will be fixed. I imagine the Xbox One will run into both issues, while the PS4 will definitely run into the former. Also, the limited library problem the WiiU is currently facing is one that the Xbox One and PS4 will face (although likely not as bad, except the Xbox One will definitely not have the same quality of exclusives).

I'm not denying the Wii U's strong line up, but this is the line up that should have been present during the first 6 months of the Wii U.These were suppose to be the games that would help build the systems install base and to help entice 3rd party devs to make games for the Wii U.

As for 3rd party developers, I don't think many of them will make a noticeable impact until late 2015. Usually it takes most 3rd party developers about that long to make quality games for a new console, specifically multi-console games. On top of that, a lot of developers will be just fine with making PS3 and Xbox 360 games for a larger amount of people who own the console and thus about 10 times as many people could potentially buy said games.

As for 3rd party developers Nintendo has, they got Bayonetta 2 and 3 exclusive Sonic games. That should help sell WiiU's.

To be fair, Warner Bros. and Disney are helping Wii U as much as Ubisoft. Or more.

 

[Fastblade5035]

My first Nintendo game was Harvest Moon on the GBA, though I really got into Nintendo during the GameCube era. Sunshine, Melee, Wind Waker, Air Ride, Pokemon Gale Of Darkness, (Shutupilikedit) Sonic Adventure 1-2 and Majora's Mask really made the GameCube an enjoyable system for me.

So yeah, Harvest Moon. Is it first, second or third party?

XB1 is actually selling?

About the Wii U, the 3DS had a slow start too, but as of late the 3DS will have a fantastic library of games by next year, so I'm willing to give Wii U a chance. Though it is true that Wii U devs are dropping like flies (the SDK must be a nightmare because of the two screens!!)

How could I forget about SEGA.
Them and Nintendo are like this:

Spoiler

The Video game industry has such a rich history.

SEGA and Nintendo having a rivalry, which Nintendo ultimately won, the video game crash of 1983, SEGA cooperating with Nintendo, among many other things.

 

[Autumn ♫]

My first Nintendo game was Diddy Kong Racing. I think that was also my first game too.

Nintendo ought to buy SEGA. That way, at least in regards to smash bros, all of this "Sonic won't return" crap will go away, and we can finally get Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman Robotnik in Smash! Plus, that would give us more potential newcomers to actually care about to want.

I don't know about you guys, but Ridley and K. Rool are the only two potential newcomers (with a reasonable chance) I really want, while Isaac, Shulk, Dixie Kong, Pac-Man, and pre-Sticker Star Paper Mario. If most of those are gone, especially the first two, there's no newcomers left for me to really want.

With SEGA being bought out by Nintendo, not just can we get all those 3 Sonic characters, but all kinds of SEGA characters like Nights, a few Virtua Fighter characters, AiAi, Beat (Jet Set Radio), Alex Kidd, Vyse (Skies of Arcadia), someone from Valkyria Chronicles, and heck, maybe even a character from one of my favorite series, Total War!

 

[Mr. OC]

My first Nintendo game was Halo.

 

[lobotheduck21]

First system was N64, my first games on that were Elmo's Number Journey, Star Wars Pod Racer, Pokemon Snap, and Harvest Moon (first game my mom bought me was luigi's mansion but I was terrified of the ghosts)

My first Nintendo game was Halo.

not subtle enough

 

[Fatmanonice]

My first Nintendo game was Donkey Kong on my Dad's Colecovision back in 1989. Christ, thanks for making me feel old guys...

 

[FalKoopa]

My first game was the SMB + Duck Hunt on the NES.

While my NES is broken, I still have the NES Zapper.

 

[Fastblade5035]

I dont give a damn about Sega characters other than Sonic in Smash. If Nintendo did buy Sega (which I completely support) I honestly wouldn't care if Sonic was the only Sega rep.
Sega IPs just never appealed much to me.

 

[FalKoopa]

Double post. (>_>)

 

[TheRealMrWillis]

My first Nintendo games... I got Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Super Mario World for GBA. Yeah, my childhood was epic.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

My first system was a GBC, and my first game was a crappy licensed Disney game. Luckily, My sister had a GBC as well, and she got Link's Awakening DX. Plus, my parents got Pac Man(for the GBC) and SMB Deluxe, so it all worked out in the end.
