Megaman: awesome
Wii fit girl: incredibly lame

3DS art style looks pretty nice, I hope it's comparable to the WiiU version in terms of content.

 

[Gartooth]

Mega Man's announcement seriously was the best thing at the Direct today aside from Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, so glad he is in the game and I'm glad he looks like a faithful reincarnation of NES Mega Man.

Wonder if we will say any more characters for Smash at E3.

Some screenshots of just the stages in the 3DS version:

Ok, I'm a bit LTTP on watching the actual trailer for WiiFit Trainer but I've watched it and it's just still so weird to me how well she fits in. In my mind, it sounds like a horrible idea but then, when I see it executed, it actually kind of works.

- Sakurai states the 3DS and Wii U versions will have "the same amount" of characters.
- There are no 3DS screenshots as of yet for Villager & Wii Fit Trainer

Probably blowing it out of proportion. But still. Would be nice to see some confirmation.

Sakurai said this:

"although the 3DS and WiiU versions have the same amount of characters, each game has different stages that relate to the platform blabla"

going by that, it looks as if his following statement was related to WICH stages and not the amount, so I took it to mean he was trying to say (or got lost in translation) that both versions have the same characters

 

[BassForever]

can someone explain/confirm what all this talk about exclusive characters is about. Not cool.

Sakurai said both games would have the "same amount of characters" and there are currently no gameplay pics of Villager or Wii Fit Trainer for the 3DS version.

However I'd like to post this

and this

Their official reveal posters say WiiU/3DS I think if these characters were version exclusive they'd have said something by now.

 

[Fey]

I'm so happy the 3DS version looks so great, since I'm still very iffy on whether or not I should buy a Wii U.

Gerudo Valley >>>>>

 

[Beth Cyra]

Link looks so dreamy.

He really does.

Honestly my biggest worry with this game would be them going full Cell Shaded and have it be SS Link as the Adult and Toon Link for Child.

I couldn't be happier that TP Link kept his spot.

 

[Not]

Can anyone tell me if that subtitle is temporary? I really don't want to ask friends hey, wanna play some For Wii U

"For 3DS has better so and so than melee"

It's just lazy and awful. Hoping it's a placeholder, can anyone confirm yet?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

so how are people digging the cel-shaded graphics? not liking it AT ALL! still a long time before the game is released *crosses fingers* wii u is looking good though

They're fine. It's intended to make the characters more visible on the 3DS's smaller screen.

 

[SloaneRisette]

The villager's stupid smile is killing me

"What did you say about my smile?"

Spoiler

So far I'm gonna main Villager/Wii Fit Trainer. Really hope Olimar makes it back in though.

 

[BGBW]

Watching the reveal video of Wii Fit Trainer to the press shows why some were pissed. They got tricked HARDCORE. They all thought they were going to watch a Wii Fit demo and then BAM it's actually Smash Bros. They didn't like that I can tell.

 

[KevinRo]

Does anyone know if Sonic will be in this version too?

 

[schuelma]

I know this didn't happen last gen with Snake, but damn Mega Man seems perfect for a revival on Nintendo platforms.

I have a good feeling he'll return. He has decent history with Nintendo now especially with the exclusive partnership they have going on.

If he's replaced by another 3rd party character, I think it would be

Pacman

 

[BGBW]

Pointed this out on the ACGAF IRC, but the two villagers show here are the friends of the protagonist in the AC Movie. Neat little nod.

 

[Zoramon089]

Sonic should return
Snake can leave

Kojima clearly doesn't care about Nintendo consoles so he shouldn't get a rep in the game

Hahahaha that's hilarious. Wii Fit Trainer ultimate troll character, I just love her.

Pretty sure it is. It was announced just today & we're not getting it until next year. They've still got plenty of time to decide on subtitles.

Time to count the pixels.

The Wii Fit Trainer is going to be the most balanced character



I'll see myself out

I feel ashamed for asking this, but which game is this stage based on? It's going to be a handheld title as said in the Developer Direct.

Also I hope this means we get some GameBoy/Color stages. GameBoy Camera and Printer mascots would be a funny out there character.

I heard people say that this is possibly a part of the new adventure mode.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I'm really hoping we get some more characters tonight or this week.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of Wii Fit trainer, as long as it doesn't take spots away from other potential candidates, like Majora's Mask's Skull Kid.

 

[Kyzon]

My social life cant take a smash on console and on the go :/

it will never happen

I kind of surprised they didn't just confirm Luigi considering the whole Year of Luigi business.

if you told me i'd be seeing this picture one day..

 

[Ryce]

We've definitely seen everything Smash related for E3. You can quote me on that.

 

[jph139]

As someone who's played hundreds of hours of Wii Fit, I could not be more pleased to see the Trainer in... the little snippet of the Balance Board hopping around near the end of her trailer really hit me. I love that little son of a bitch.

Wii Fit has fans too!

 

[Drago]

Luigi doesn't need confirmation, and he's always an unlockable anyways.

Megaman: awesome
Wii fit girl: incredibly lame

You're kidding right?
she's like a perfect fit for this game.

 

[pixlexic]

I love how they went with 2 different graphic styles for both versions.

 

[Busaiku]

So Wii Fit Trainer is actually super effective against heavier characters.
Wonder how that'll work out.

 

[peaceiscloser]

The one character I'm really really hoping for inclusion is Palutena from Kid Icarus.

Since it's been revealed Pit's using some of the items from Uprising, I think a moveset for Palutena could be logical to use some of the other items -- and at least from the anime shorts for Uprising that were available on 3DS we know she can use some of them.

Pit: Bow, Upperdash Arm, Guardian Orbitars, (First Blade?)

Palutena: Staff, Tiger? Claws, Cannon, Palms

Spoiler

Magnus: Club

There you go, Sakurai.

 

[NotLiquid]

Pretty sure Miyamoto practically confirmed Luigi when interviewed by Geoff. It's his favorite character.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

I'm surprised by how good the visuals of the 3DS version look.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Link looks strange in some shots, but his CG rendition is quite excellent. The Mega Man reveal was awesome, and I loved the beginning shots with the franchise logos.

 

[L00P]

This reminds me of Mega Man Legends 2's ending

 

[GuardianE]

I can't believe how good MegaMan looks and how true to his character they were... and I'm not even a big MegaMan fan.

So, MegaMan will be featured in two upcoming crossover games while Capcom... maybe promotes another fan game?

 

[Plinko]

btw

tom nook all but confirmed

calling it


dat "mmhh" pose

His super move is going to be his kids following you around the stage asking you repeatedly if you want to buy something until you just jump off the edge voluntarily.

 

[Chance Hale]

I'm surprised by how good the visuals of the 3DS version look.

Really? I think the cel-shading actually looks kind of bad. And the stages themselves look crazy jaggy, although I imagine it'll look better on the screen itself.

I need to fight Nook and his lovely sweater vest

Where the hell is Captain Falcon, at least give me that Fucking Dumbtendo -_-

Lmao, the wiifit girl looks awesome as fuck.

Obviously that moon is there for a reason.

MML3 believe

People had to wait over a year to finally get him confirmed in Brawl.

He'll definitely be there.
