Smash Run on the Wii U? No thanks. From what I've heard from other people, Smash Run seems like a really boring mode that's only fun the first time you play it. Tower of Smash combines Event Matches and Boss Battles (which both are absent from the 3DS version). And even if you don't like ToS, you can still do Tournament Mode, Break the Targets or Stage Builder. (If the leak is real of course..)
I still think by unlocked from the start he meant that the Wii U version wouldn't need to be linked up to the 3DS version to gain access to them. Or perhaps they're unlocked at the start if you do happen to link them and unlocked them on the 3ds already? Perhaps with the 3DS version being out for two months by then they figure everyone will know the roster and would rather work on unlocking (hopefully) more customization options? Well it could also all be made up and the leak fake, but I'd rather keep my hopes up for those few extra characters.
What I meant with that is that I want also want a really unique mode for the wii u version (like SSE for brawl and smash run for smash 3ds) and ToS just doesn't seem that unique to me!
That all makes a lot of sense to me, honestly. It's also possible he got an old build that has everything unlocked and he doesn't know that there were more conditions for unlocking in the final edition. Think of it like a Debug Mode game of sorts.
DLC will be guaranteed by that point.
Yeah I'd wager if characters come out on the Wii U initially to help sweeten the deal for people not really wanting to double dip or buy a Wii U when they're happy with the 3DS version, the characters would come out on the 3DS as dlc, an update, different ways it could happen. Now if they want these to help push Wii Us they may not come out right away on 3ds, hypothetically, but I'm sure they'd still come some how.
I was thinking that too. If the leak is true and all this person had access to was a version of the game with everything unlocked right away, he may only know about these extra characters due to them not being on the 3DS and being unique in how one would need to obtain them.
Exactly. Game testers or those with beta copies don't know who is unlockable or not. The ERSB leak had everyone, for instance.
Makes perfect sense to me, too. I honestly can't wait to see. I'm very glad I'm getting both versions myself. Even if there's no new characters outside of DLC, I love the ability to transfer customs over. I might farm them on the Wii U version since the controls are more usable to me.
What makes me super skeptical is him claiming DLC is planned, when Sakurai specifically said they wouldn't be thinking about it until both versions of the game are out.
Lucina was a costume first. He changed his mind. I think it's believable, but outside of characters first appearing on the Wii U or Data Transfer, I believe any DLC character won't be released till quite a long time after the Wii U version. Courses may be released soon, since they probably take faster to make.
Mr Prince admitted he was wrong about Wonder Red and later claimed he's an AT. Read the rest of his post history, it just reeks of trolling.
Oh, okay. Thanks.
Once again, I agree with this. So much potiential for an awesome multiplayer mode... But then we get this.
And you can STILL be fighting in stuff like Smash Run, Adventure Mode, etc...
Yeah. I have this strange feeling this week will be judgement week for this leak. It can go either way at this point.
I though it was gonna be last week but then friday came and we got what feels like one of the most last minute POTD's ever
nah next week will be more menu pics of conquest mode
Unless Sakurai goes into ultra-super-amazing troll mode and posts 3DS PotDs every day of the week...I'm not even joking, he seems to be avoiding to post wii u PotD every time he can.... I don't know how this man keeps doing this when we have absolutely no info whatsoever about the wii u version other than barely 3 confirmed stages, but nothing about modes or anything bigger than that...Anyways, i really hope he stops doing that or updates us BIG on the wii u version already, we are close to the release date already after all.
I'd imagine there might be a Smash Wii U that covers alot of stuff, but, still, Sakurai could be the troll like he sometimes is.
I'm still predicting a direct on the 31st of October, where all the big info will be revealed. The way I see it, next week is Ganondorf, rob and game & Watch. The week after is Bowser jr, duck hunt and jigglypuff and then the direct the following week
Hopefully secret characters have nothing to do with how often the Wii U info gets released by Sakurai, specially because everyone has unlocked every character by now already, so it would be a silly reason to delay news on the wii u version....
That's what I feel may happen.
But they're doing it in the order you unlock them, G&W, ROB and ganondorf are definately next week. Unless sakurai wants to stretch out reveals for another week and just do ganondorf and rob
He probably already finished making the game, so, he's just probably trolling us at this point, it seems.
True True. I'm just holding out for a direct this month, or at least one in the first week of November.
The end of october feels like the perfect time to me
This. My guess is that he is working on more and more content for the DLCs coming later, but the standard version of the game is already completed, or at least about 90% already, no less than that.
That's most likely the case, but it doesn't explain why Europe and Japan get the game a month after, though.
My easy guess is that since the 3Ds version got first in japan, they decided it would be fair to do the same thing this time giving the Wii U version first to US. Also, it's actually less than a month of time difference between the release dates this time, the 3ds version was a way longer wait between japan and the rest of our regions.
And for the Europe ?
