Nope. We'll get details on some modes through PotD, but otherwise we're pretty much done with news. Friday's Direct is the last blowout we're getting on Smash 3DS.

As I and others have noted, it's probably called "Duck Hunt" because it's equal parts dog, duck and unseen hunter. The hunter probably takes the form of an aiming reticle that you can either control or that functions like Palutena's Auto-Reticle move. I could see it factoring into the specials and Final Smash. This also allows them to avoid a physical depiction of the Zapper, which varied from region to region and looked like an actual gun in Japan.

I guess you haven't seen the outfits/armor you can wear in Xenoblade. They have a lot more baffling attire than that.
It only takes 100+ hours if you do all of the terrible side quests.

I'll be posting the newcomer nomination results soon. Be sure to check it out, as today is one of the characters I would be thrilled to see in Smash.
Only about 60-70 hours, if you move at a decent speed.

Maybe I should sell my copy before the price falls from the 3DS version...
I'll buy your real copy of Xenoblade Chronicles for One Million Imaginary Space Bucks.
Depends, did the Earthbound game price dropped when it was released on the eShop?
49.99 on Gamestop, you know, the people who had it reprinted. 5 bucks off with a power up rewards card.

Around 65 or so hours I'd say.
I seriously recommend skipping the sidequests. They are so bad that they actually negatively affected my enjoyment of the first half of the game.
I hope Xenoblade Chronicles X has better ones.
Oh, nice! I thought you were saying Nintendo sent out a new reprint in general.
I always buy new, though. Does "pre-owned" still come in a good condition box, or...?

Depends on the condition of the box the person traded in. Gamestop accepts just the disc, so you might just get a generic black box and no manual.
Yeah, think I might do the same
The dirty little secret with this game and Metroid Prime Trilogy is that they had a reprint commissioned for both games and sold them as preowned. It is more likely than not that your pre owned copy would just be a never sealed new copy. I'd look around your local Gamestop stores to see what sort of copies they have instead of getting it online but even online I'd say your chances to get a new "preowned" copy are high. Not many people ever traded in Xenoblade.

You just stole my gif. *thumb up*
Perhaps, but Earthbound and other games' prices haven't really got hit by VC. It's depend on how good Xenoblade 3DS is. If it's medicare then the price might stay high.
Alright, thanks.. I think it's my goal to finish Xenoblade before Smash 3DS' release date for EU/NA.

Isn't it releasing in 2015? How the heck can you guys wait that long lol I NEED TO PLAY RIGHT NOW!! Specially if I'm planning to main Shulk in the Wii U version and there are a lot of spoilers trophies.
After seeing all these Japanese posters ads and all the people talking and asking about Shulk and Xenoblade, as a Xenoblade/Monolith/Tetsuya Takashi/RPG fan I cannot help but feel really happy for Shulk's inclusion in Smash. The guys behind Xenoblade have been around since the times of SNES and worked in masterpieces like Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and Xenogears even before Monolith existed, and as Monolith they worked on many other ambitious RPGs like the Xenosaga trilogy, the Baten Kaitos bilogy and Xenoblade. Also, for Nintendo, Xenoblade is one of their most ambitious and expansive games ever, probably one of the most ambitious RPGs ever in concept too, so for me it was natural to see Shulk as a representative of one of their biggest new series. I see all of this as a homage to their career and contribution to gaming as a studio.
Also, Shulk is one of those bold and exotic additions to the roster that each Smash pushes forward for recognition. In the original it was Ness, in Melee were Marth and Roy, and in Brawl were Ike and Lucas. Cool characters that few people know about but with such interesting looks, fighting styles and universes that foster the players' interest in them. We probably wouldn't have seen Fire Emblem around here if it weren't because Marth and Roy.

Last time I checked, I don't really see it getting hit hard. People are still wanting to buy the hard copies.

In the final release? English, of course.

Earthbound Cartridge itself would wage about 120-160
Earthbound Cartridge with guide book would be like 200 to 250-ish
Perfect Collection - 300 to 600 dollars

I've never played it, but I saw a pic of (not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but just to be safe)
some sort of "tribal" outfit with all sorts of feathers which looked totally ridiculous.
That's still a little much for a game as old as that. I know Gamestop has gotten stingier in recent years (I remember when used games typically went for $20-$25; now they just knock $5 off retail,) but still. I wish Xenoblade was cheaper/more readily available, because now, your only other option is wait for the N3DS version.

I'm still at the tail end in the middle of grinding for the last few battles. I agree with all of that. The open, expansive environments makes me think THIS is what next gen Final Fantasy should have been. Only thing I don't like? The gem system. A lot of the gems just seem irrelevant and it feels like they tried to make sure this game had EVERYTHING, but the gen system goes a little too far imo.
Also, yeah the England based localization is quite charming.
The fact that we'll know everything about the game (and some of you lucky bastards will be able to play it) in 13 days (maybe a little less) blows my mind.
That's less than two weeks. That's only 10 pics of the day. That's only one more episode of Doctor Who. That's before my nearest uni assignment is due.
In case you can't tell, I'm hyped.

Or do, as they are really fun.
Also someone dissing the gems? Yeah, there are a lot of useless ones but there are also some that you think are worthless that are actually quite grand.

It doesn't make sense even then. Duck is the adjective and Hunt is the noun, which implies that you're playing as a hunt. A hunt is an activity... You can't play AS an activity. Even if you're playing as three different characters, you're still playing as those characters and not something abstract like a hunt. Taking that into account it makes even more sense to call the characters Duck Hunt Dog, because even though the noun in that name singles out the Dog as the character (which the select screen does as well), it still acknowledges the duck and the hunter. Unless "Duck Hunt" is the Dog's name, it makes no sense to use it. I can think of plenty of better alternatives. Duck Hunt Dog, Duck Hunter, Hunting Dog, Dog & Duck(s), Duck Hound, etc.
We've known WFT would have voice samples since the beginning.

Yup! And characters have always had English voice acting in Smash, assuming they weren't Japan-only. "Jigglypuff"
And that's when we make a JP OT so we won't be spoiled much more!
Then three weeks of resisting temptation!

Well it's an easy alt color and every character are apparently getting 8 colors, so it's probably gonna be back. Looking forward to seeing Doc's colors.
I'm more curious about Dark Pit's colors, though.

Smash loves a colorful combatant, so how could you not want:
Captian Rainbow
Notable Appearences
Captain Rainbow (2008)

What do you guys think? Does Captain Rainbow have the entire spectrum of Smash necessities? Or is he doomed to become yet another forgotten Nintendo hero? Let us know below!
