Fates selling really well in the US. 300,000 between the versions in first 3 days.

So much for that torrential downpour
Edit

I wonder how much it is for each and how many are buying multiple copies? Awakening sold 180,000 in it's first week but it got most of it's sales through good word of mouth and being a good reason to justify the previous purchase of the 3DS as Pokemon was still on the DS and Kid Icarus: Uprising caused all the cramp. It remains to be seen if there's growth.

 

[Staarih]

I was expecting Pokémon-related news to pop out later this week because of the actual anniversary being on the 27th, and bam, we get a Direct. 5 minutes is plenty to build up hype, be it just a trailer or two.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Finally, we're getting Pokemon news!

Pokemon Z here we come (though I won't mind that possibility if will only be about generation 7 as well)!

The third version of a previous generation with slight enhancements to a previous region/story is more exciting than an entirely new load of Pokemon and new region? I think your dictionary is a bit borked.

 

[PushDustIn]

In what cases has a headcanon actually ruined something?

Smash speculation for many years

 

[Guybrush20X6]

In what cases has a headcanon actually ruined something?

At the point when a series becomes long running enough for fans of the original work to become writers and thus arm them with real-canon.

 

[PK_Wonder]

5 minutes huh? Where is Serebii getting this info?

If so, that confirms one of two things to me.

1. There are going to be monthly or bimonthly little installments like this.

2. the news IS SO HUGE THAT 5 MINUTES IS ALL THEY NEED TO GENERATE HYPE

 

[Burruni]

Pokemon Direct on Friday!

Big #Pokemon news is coming! Tune into our #PokemonDirect on February 26 at 7 a.m. PT! https://t.co/sy6qYCV7cX pic.twitter.com/Fmg7wSh318

So here's a question, how are people hacking Smash Wii U stages into Brawl?

 

[Bedoop]

"Evan, do yer work"
Okey
*does work*
Teacher I'm done m' work
*teacher is ignoring me completely*
T-Teacher are you there
"EVAN"
"AREYOUDONEYOURWORK"
yis ; v;
"DIDYOUPRINTIT"
...Print it?
"YEYOUNEEDTOPRINTIT"
Oh OK, where do I print it to?
*teacher goes back to ignoring my existence before answering*
O
OK then
- - - - -

So here's a question, how are people hacking Smash Wii U stages into Brawl?

Wii U stages R models
Export Models
Import to Brawl/Melee/64ifyoureallywantto
Bada-boom

The only ones that would be difficult to export would be the 2D Stages (PAC-LAND, Mario Maker, the Screens of Flat Zone 2, Flat Zone X & Dream Land, among others)

Is simple

Fanon is headcanon

POKEMON Z
PLEASE

The Direct with Pokemon XY was 20 minutes but 15 minutes of it were a Pokemon games release timeline

11m, to be precise.
Good they will cut back on this. It's only 5 minutes now.

I still really want a general one because I want to see how they are going to change it up.

 

[Deleted member]

That page is very outdated, as the definition has changed over time.

-------

Also if the Pokémon Direct is only 5 minutes, then we might still get a proper direct soon.

Do you have evidence it has changed? Or that the page is outdated?

Welp, looks like Corrin/Kamui is staying in Smash Bros,

I never had any doubt tbh

 

[NintenZ]

I never had any doubt tbh

I did, a lot of people hated him in both Smash and Fram Blam so I kinda had low hopes for him.

I guess I was wrong though.

 

[Wolfie557]

WOHOOO I'M PURPLE!!!! I LOVE YOU WHOEVER DID THIS <3

 

[NintenZ]

WOHOOO I'M PURPLE!!!! I LOVE YOU WHOEVER DID THIS <3

Meanwhile I've never been pranked...

 

[Con0rrrr]

POKEMOON DIRECT YES POKEMON I LIKE THAT GAME

 

[BluePikmin11]

WOHOOO I'M PURPLE!!!! I LOVE YOU WHOEVER DID THIS <3

When I think of purple, I can only think of this now:

 

[NintenZ]

So I've got to say, even though I do like it very much I've got to say... I think Smash should stay on consoles from now on...

Honestly Smash just wasn't meant for a handheld, it's supposed to be a game that all your friends can play together whether they own the system or not, but now, everyone has to have the same system. Also because of the 3DS limitations, several things had to be cut, not to mention that things had to take more time since the games were being developed simultaneously... I honestly don't think that the series should be on a handheld, it's just not meant for it. If they focus on one thing they can get more things done in the amount of time they have, so I think the series should just stay a console series, like it's meant to be.

 

[A Distant Demon]

WOHOOO I'M PURPLE!!!! I LOVE YOU WHOEVER DID THIS <3

Damn that took a long ass time. Put that one in on the 13th. Weird.

Meanwhile I've never been pranked...

Gee I wonder why

 

[FalKoopa]

Oh, a Pokémon Direct?

I'm actually looking forward to Detective Pikachu more than Pokémon Z. Let's see how much hype they can pack in 5 minutes.

 

[Burruni]

Start putting your wishes down now, folks.

Pokken Fighter 15 - Galvantula

People have already warmed up to them and unlike japanese players, who thought Corrin was a bland lord, they have been received better in the west
Seriously though, I don't know where they got that from
Corrin is a great lord character and a nice break from the two previous Hector clones

Why do I get the feeling that you're baiting for replies?

For me, a portable Smash that I can play anywhere and any time, was a huge blessing. My college is in a different town from my home and I'm glad that I don't have to lug a Wii U everywhere to play it. Plus, it's cheaper.

I think it was a good experminent but I agree. I would rather have it home console only....

...unless I can't afford/don't want a gimicky console...so um.....just keep it for both for now XD. I'm sure the next handheld can handle Ice Climbers.

Damn that took a long *** time. Put that one in on the 13th. Weird.

awww thanks buds.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Yeah, I don't really appreciate the spammed votes on Daisy. :/

I do like that I can take it anywhere, I really do,

even though I do like it very much

But I feel like Smash is meant for home consoles, I like Smash on the go but I dunno...

Plus, it's cheaper.

That is true, it costs much less then a Wii U...

Addmittedly the version I got costed $700.00 while the 3DS one costed about $40.00

As someone who started on 3DS, I have a few things to point out.

1. Smash sold FAR more on 3DS than Wii U.
2. People have been begging for handheld Smash for a LONG time.
3. In early production, it was discussed to have ONLY Smash 3DS.
4. It really bugs me when people say the series needs to be permanently kept off of handheld because the 3DS was too weak to handle some features. A new handheld is inevitably going to be able to handle a new game much better, and if you're worried about split resources then I think I have a pretty good solution: enable crossplay. Give both versions the same stages ON TOP of the same characters, and just disable some modes like 8 Player Smash if those cause too much of a strain.

 

[FalKoopa]

But I feel like Smash is meant for home consoles, I like Smash on the go but I dunno...

I'm literally the only Nintendo console owner for a hundred miles around, so the supposed social aspect was never a factor for me.

That is true, it costs much less then a Wii U...

Addmittedly the version I got costed $700.00

Just getting a Smash 3DS XL and the game cost me about $380. That's about 5 times my monthly expenditure. You can see where this is going.

 

[Frostwraith]

Smash 3DS is love, Smash 3DS is life.

Anyone who denies this is denying a truth.

Handheld Smash is a dream come true for me.

I'd take Daisy over Sans any day
You don't know how painful it was to type this

 

[Deleted member]

You know, I would love to see a new version of Pokémon where we could see the 'Perfect form' of Kyurem.

After all, we only saw its two halfs in Pokémon BW2.


Also I love how everyone react to BluePikmin11 's poll without mentioning Luffy.

Actually I never thought about crossplay... I think calling it a mistake was the wrong thing to say... More like, it's not the right place for it... But it's not a bad alternative actually... If they can get some things working a handheld Smash can still be really good... As it costs a lot less then the console alternative...

 

[A Distant Demon]

I have put probably about 20 hours into smash u (i need practice so bad)


I have probably played over 100 on smash 3ds.

Being able to play smash anywhere and everywhere is amazing. Being able to play with my friend every day at school was awesome. . .i just wish it had more legal stages and music.

 

[Wolfie557]

For me she beats exactly 7 from that list.

 

[Aetheri]

I feel like the 3DS/Wii U should've been handled differently...

some features were left out of the Wii U because of the 3DS's limitations and likely because of the extra time needed to port shared content, Ice Climbers for example, Break the Targets I felt was left out due to time as it requires time to create a separate stage for each character...

The 3DS version I felt should've been a stand alone Smash game, didn't need to have 50+ fighters but at least it wouldn't seem like it held back another version of the game, which could handle more than it could...

during the ESRB leak I always thought that some characters like Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr. would've been 3DS exclusive while more characters, including the Ice Climbers, would've been added to the Wii U since content in every other aspect of the game wasn't fully shared between the two...and the more simplified single player would've been a better fit for a handheld...

I love that it's on a handheld but after getting the Wii U version I rarely ever play the 3DS unless I go out an about, but since I'm usually busy doing something or driving I don't really get much of an opportunity to actually play it, and while at home I have the Gamepad, soo...the only reason I put in more hours to the 3DS is because I've owned it since it was released and I only just got my Wii U last November...probably would've had more incentive to buy it sooner had it not been on the 3DS or had it actually been treated as a separate title, which to me is a huge factor why the 3DS sold better....plus more people own a 3DS than Wii U regardless...

 

[NintenZ]

Yeah, I've definitely put more time into the 3DS game then the Wii U one... No questions asked...

Luffy is in there because there are anime characters in SSF2.
Luffy is one of the most demanded in the game in my last poll.

 

[NintenZ]

Anyway back to Daisy... No... Just please no...

Sorry but she's just a character that I no longer have any interest in seeing due to a certain situation that happened on the site a while ago...
