Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 6: Final Destination confirmed for not fun
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
I am since he's my secondary after Mr. G&W.
I thought he was great, though, I can see how annoying Waddle Dees tend to get during a match.
Cutting down on randomness so you can use your moves reliably?
Also, various types of Waddle Dees are enemies in Smash Run.
Waste of an attack, the Gordos were always what the player hoped for

To nerf and buff Dedede. The Waddle Dee's could be annoying and wall out projectile characters and also had an annoying habit of having a gordo pop out because RNG says.
It's a buff also though, because it seems like they gordos will be better damage dealers than waddle dees, though less so than Brawl.

probably because everyone uses it hoping to get a Gordo, and it's pretty lame

I hope they don't do that. My wallet couldn't handle it. Nor would the wife lol.
Not necessarily. I used Waddle Dees to block projectile attacks while I laid down chilling.

Yeah, but the Gordo move looks way weaker than in Brawl. Of course, that may be to compensate for the fact that it's 100% Gordo each time. I'll miss randomly throwing out capsules though.
NFC figurines are how custom movesets will work.
Want to play as Mario with the huge fireball? Buy the figurine!

Dedede should have just been buffed through the roof and be able to toss out Knuckle Joe.
The popular opinion is that Lin could replace Snake should he not return, but Days of Ruin bombed so there's not a great chance of that happening.
Otherwise, Advance Wars only got an Assist Trophy (and even then it was generic infantry and tanks) so there's no hope of e.g. Andy making it in as playable, maaaaybe as an Assist Trophy if we're lucky.

That is a terrible idea, and you should feel bad for suggesting that.
According to who, shunxsato?

But I want Sami!
Character and stages, get as much in before summer is over.
Then work on wii u content.
That said, I have no idea how this development is going, so all this could be meaningless.
They could just have lied to us and delay it to fall, I dunno man.
It's been nearly a decade since Dual Strike, the last game Sami was in (not counting the Virtual Console re-release). It's also been 6 years since Days of Ruin (not counting the Japan only eShop Club Nintendo reward). I think with Fire Emblem becoming a higher priority, Advance Wars has kinda fallen by the wayside.

That's what I'm thinking. I really hope that they would do good job with the development. Less Character Cut please!

We got Advance Wars on the VC first!

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So, you think we'll still get a general Nintendo Direct?
Kind of going on a tangent here but it really feels like Intelligent System's development cycle has slowed. From 2001-2004 they released two Advance Wars games, three Fire Emblem games (going by Japanese release dates), and Paper Mario tTYD. From 2011 up until now all they've Pushmo and Crashmo (smaller e-Shop games), Sticker Star, and Awakening. Which isn't bad by any means but it's just nowhere near as good as it was a decade ago. Though I'm guessing they're helping with the development of various other things, like the hardware applications.
I think the split release is more a question of having a big game ready for the holiday sales / not having the 2 versions eat away at each other's sales. As such, I see the 3DS release date as early rather than the Wii U one as late. Many people would have argued that late October - mid November seems most likely for that one, anyway. Also, the fact that the 3DS game will be out of the way come August / September implies that they'll have even more people ready to make sure they won't have to delay the Wii U version.

If we don't get one announced this week, I think we probably won't.

I think between the MK8/Kirby/Mario Golf news & press previews, Smash Direct, and Tomodachi Life Direct that there's no need to have one until E3 now.
Possibly - April 25th is my bet.
It's been 2 years since Awakening was released in Japan, which must mean we're due for an Advance Wars announcement at E3
BELIEEEEEVE
I don't mean to suggest they do it exactly like that, but NFC figurines modifying abilities and unlocking content sounds lucrative for Nintendo in a Skylanders sort of way.

well, development takes much longer these days for one
I'd like to see SMTxFE revealed at E3 along with a new Advance Wars.

You gotta believe, man!
There's an example somewhere in this thread, can't remember what it was though: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=107486504
Nirolak was pointing out that unless there was an example like you said, the thread title should've been Wii U version: 21st December to 19th March.
Edit: I think it was this post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=107483300&postcount=325, although that may have been debunked later.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo did consider Winter 2014 and Holiday 2014 to be the same.
Please please please let them be the same.

What's special about this week? We're still coming off the heels of the Smash direct. If I missed something then sorry, I'm just tuning in =[
I'm gonna post some individual stuff about characters or stuff since this thread is nearly done and don't really feel they should be grouped together.
I think Peach's Side Smash only uses a tennis racket now.
She only uses one hand in both of these. Of course, there is the possibility that the tennis racket now has a unique animation. I just think it is more likely that she only uses a tennis racket now.
In Brawl, she would use both hands for everything.
So what does everyone else think?

Mario Tennis > Mario Golf
You can also see Peach's dress split at the front during the animation of the attack cause clothing physics.

Nothing, other than that's when a bimonthly direct normally occurs.
Damn straight.

I hope the racket isn't her only side smash unless sakurai removes that hard to get sweet spot and buffed it. Golf club 4 life.
also....
New running animation.
dash attack has a magical effect now.
Second jump is now an actual second jump again.

I'm actually glad that they're working on removing all the random aspects from the character movesets. I do wonder what that means for Peach's turnips and G&W's hammer tho.

I don't see why people kept doubting the annual things. I know it might be first time that they would skipped on bimonthly direct but who know.

Ok. I don't see one happening until E3 now. Unless there's a surprise one in May
IntelliHeath

Wow, you must have mained Peach a lot to notice all of that. She was the character that appeared the least out of all other characters. Maybe tied with Sonic. But Sonic was at least doing stuff every time he appeared.
EDIT: Yea, I just saw the second jump. Looks much bigger than Brawl's lousy second jump.
EDIT2: Just saw the magical effects.
EDIT3: She doesn't seem to be holding dress when she runs now?

Guilty as charged lol.
Me to. It week be good for the competitive scene and for For Glory mode. I think they have added so many items and stage hazards so that they can keep the party game fun and random, while still making the competitive game more precise and skill based.
I personally don't have faith in a bimonthly direct, but it's certainly a possibility.
In all honesty, I'm not sure if I even want one. The Smash direct and Mario Kart news was hype enough for me. Part of me would rather them save everything they've got until E3 with a big blowout of information.

Once MK 8 comes out I'll probably stop looking at the Pics of the Day and just focus on MK8. That big Direct for me is enough to hold me over till the game releases.

I think an "actual" Direct for April would be nice, even if we might not get any Smash news (tho I hope we would). There's 2 more months between now and E3. I'd enjoy if they put out some smaller news/release dates for games we know are coming in that Direct.
Also, if they're going to show Zelda Wii U at E3
, I imagine a Zelda-related newcomer or something
to happen there.
Also, if they're going to show Zelda Wii U at E3
and maybe a teaser or trailer for a new Metroid, pls Nintendo
like a Ridley reveal
Not sure if posted, but ...
