The Week in Review #14

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

The Week in Review Issue #14 was released earlier last weekend in the Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS boards. The Week in Review is a weekly periodical written by a vast number of writers within the Smash 4 speculative community. The Week in Review covers areas such as the Picture of the Day, Smash 4 related news articles, and potential leaks and rumors. Also featured are Smashboards member/staff interviews, in-depth stage/character analysis articles, Thread of the Week, polls, franchise analysis, and many others. The Week in Review or tWiR focuses mostly on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS and the speculation community. The tWiR pulls a lot of input from Smashboard users and incorporates it into the articles thus making it more community oriented.

Following the hype that was the Super Smash Bros. Direct, the Picture of the Day was a bit lackluster compared to the game play footage and videos not to mention more content than Cranky Kong could shake a stick at. The Week in Review touched on the Picture of the Day, interview with the poll master @Shortiecanbrawl, coverage on Create-a-Smash Project, a Peach analysis by TumblrFamous, a stage analysis of Mega Man and a subsequent franchise analysis. If you are hyped for Smash 4, come on over and give it a read.

TAC Attack!
04/17/2014
Day #4: Thursday
Writer: BigAxle

Thursday’s Image brought us a picture of Donkey Kong engaging in minion beatdown on a Skuttler Soldier, unfortunately ignoring what’s going on right behind him. TAC is sneaking up on him, and readying his attack with his Steal Bag.​

“Pic of the day. Tac (on the left) steals your charged power. If you've charged up a lot, he might steal a ton of it. Chase after him quickly to get it back!!”

This is the second image of Smash Run, exclusive to the 3DS version, shown in a Pic Of The Day. This image is set in an area in the lower left sector of Smash Run’s Labyrinth. It’s just out of view in the map of the stage shown in this image below (taken from the Super Smash Bros, Direct. While it’s not a new image, exactly, it’s one that confirms and clarifies upon speculated aspects of TAC.

Franchise Analysis
Mega Man Franchise Analysis

​

Mega Man is one of Capcom's flagship titles along with Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter. Mega Man or Rokkuman in Japanese (ロックマン) first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 in Japan, 1989 in America. It was very well received and it spawned further installments of the franchise. It has maintained an intense relationship with Nintendo with many of its games appearing on many of the Nintendo consoles. To date, 55 Mega Man games have been released on a Nintendo system including the NES, SNES, GC, Wii, GB, GBC, GBA, and DS. Sadly, Capcom has largely avoided the Mega Man franchise as of late with hardly any new installments. The latest main series was Mega Man 10 which was released 2010. Street Fighter x Mega Man was released in 2012 and can technically be counted as the latest Mega Man game.

Oh, and you mentioned in the stage section that Mega Man Legends never saw a Nintendo release. We got a port in the form of Mega Man 64.

What a great idea for an ad!
