No way they are gonna cancel the 3DS game when it's gonna outsell the WiiU one by a factor of a ton.

Problem is that I don't understand why would they go with 3DS and WIi U. I meant would 3DS version stopped people from buying Wii U since they are similar in term of characters. If they want more people to buy Wii U then they need to go far as they can for Wii U, rather than spend their time on 3DS.

Isn't it just a Metal Blade? I think they wanted a weapon to be the icon though I would have expected Megaman's head to be the icon.

That is not the Metal Blade. It looks like a real generic gear

They are going with WiiU and 3DS games because Japan is portable land and has been for more than a decade now.

He's actually in excruciating pain, he's just too stoic to show it.

What a badass, not to mention he won that match against Mario.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

All they have to do is limit Download Play and the Wii U version will still sell fine. Nobody's going to buy 4 3DS's and 4 copies of the game to fully enjoy the game.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

probably already posted but tripping is gone and the gameplay is a mix between the faster Melee and the casual style Brawl along with no DLC


aw yisss

No DLC? Sad day.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Mega Man's icon should have been obvious:

The Dr. Light icon from Mega Man 9's boss doors.

 

[ffdgh]

...I can't see this as a bad thing....character wise.

Somebody please make a new thread on this. This is the most important Smash related news yet.

 

[demidar]

The Dr. Light icon from Mega Man 9's boss doors.

Or a Megaman 1up icon. Or just his mug, anything than a gear.

 

[Incendiary]

No DLC? Sad day.

Nah. I'm glad. It means Sakurai is intent on making the games as full on content as possible. Planning on DLC means leaving characters out for later, which is done way too much with fighters nowadays.

 

[Xane]

Now I wonder if Kirby will change to Metalman when he copies Megaman, as he'll just copy the Metalblade anyway. Would be funny.

 

[one_kill]

Jeez guys, Mega Man's icon is a gear because he's a robot

 

[qq more]

Part of the big appeal on upcoming Smash Bros games are the newcomers

I think adding DLC character would kind of hurt the fun in that.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

No DLC? Sad day.

They said it was a possibility, just not on the cards at the moment. It'll be stages more than characters I think. Anything that shakes up the fundamentals Nintendo genuinely seems to like not including as DLC.

 

[peaceiscloser]

I think one of the things I'm looking forward to just as much as new stages and characters is NEW MUSIC

I'm personally hoping that Monstrosity from Fire Emblem Awakening makes it in.

Yup. Kid Icarus is stuffed to the brim with content, so I'm optimistic that it'll be the same for this.

Less than 50% possibility so I'm happy.

Exactly. It'd suck having to get an awesome character via dlc.

[Gartooth]

I think either Mega Man's helmet or maybe an E-Tank should have been his icon, a gear is too generic and hasn't really ever been used as a symbol of the series.

Yeah, I've loaded all three of those songs (and some other Fire Emblem tracks) onto Castle Siege in Project M.

It sounds SO good and perfect.

Same here. And I am the minority who LOVED Brawl's main theme.
So looking forward to rip all the music again. Love listening to the original format with proper looppoints. xD

 

[Violet_0]

current status: concerned

 

[Jawmuncher]

I hope Snake isn't in this game. MGSV isn't even coming out on the Wii U. I know they released Snake Eater 3D, but that's not good enough at least for me.

Well you aren't good enough for me.
Wait that's just awkward. I think snake needs to stay at the very least move set wise. All that work into a new character just to scrap it seems pretty wasteful. Like I keep saying if you have to give the move set to a advanced wars character. Ill take that compromise.

 

[HK-47]

So Smash 64 physics and speed? YES PLEASE

I dont think they are talking physics. I wont believe it until I see it. And thats the part that made Brawl slow.

 

[PBalfredo]

The way they're not planning any DLC currently but are open to it in the future leaves me in high hopes of the best case scenario: game comes out as complete as can be with MOAR added in the future.

 

[Magicpaint]

Some y'all might be overreacting a little; the 3DS isn't exactly NES-level hardware. It can at least handle something of Melee caliber. If there are going to be limitations, I don't expect them to be severe. But I do subscribe to the idea that both versions should have been something entirely different. Different rosters, different stages, difference mechanics, possibly. Basically tailor the designs to the strengths/weaknesses of each platform.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

That way I like it.

 

[Village]

Megaman needs a helmetless alt.

 

[suavelicious]

So what about WiiU-3DS-crossplay. Wasn't this a thing some time? Did they mention it during E3? How would that work out if some 3DS chars would play differently? I guess i must have missed something...

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Kid Icarus's multiplayer made me want a 3D Smash Bros. Just saying.

 

[destrudo]

I'd be really disappointed if Snake didn't return, he ended up being my go to character in Brawl. Wasn't his inclusion due to Kojima pushing for it?

I really don't care too much for third party characters though, as long as the previous ones return I'd be happy enough.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

 

[Symphonic]

SSB on the go is pointless for some people like me.

Well I mean I don't mean literally walking (or riding) and playing. I mean if I want to go chill chill in a hot tub and play SSB with friends I'm covered. Instant LAN parties wherever the fuck you want.

edit: "Fit-chan" what the shit

Love it.

 

[superpickleman]

I think they just said that the two games would connect in some way. No specifics.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

I hope Sakurai can read these.

 

[Negator]

I hope he can't.

You can think of situations where, if you implemented touch controls on Wii U, then the GamePad player would have advantages over other players," Sakurai told me. "We want to balance evenly across Wii U and the 3DS versions, so there's a balance issue there, which means you would have to avoid using touch screen controls."

What I'm hoping for if they do eventually decide to do DLC is to incorporate content from games that come out AFTER Smash 4. That would be a great way to promote the new games, and would definitely be worth purchasing.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Snake clashed pretty badly with the rest of the cast.

*braces for tomatoes*

 

[linko9]

Thanks! We haven't even posted tons of our best stuff yet.

What are you waiting for

I do always appreciate it when interviewers ask readers for questions. They often end up getting the most informative and useful responses.

 

[Oblivion]

Wii Fit girl does look pretty stacked in that pic.

 

[Red Arremer]

Was it already posted that tripping has been confirmed to have been removed?

 

[Nocturnowl]

Mega Man's icon should have been obvious:

The Dr. Light icon from Mega Man 9's boss doors.

You know looking at the picture you posted and before reaching the end of the post I actually thought you were going to say a silhouette of Mega Man jumping into a boss door, it's iconic!

Yeah Snakes inclusion was because of Kojimas push. But who knows what's going on with that now. No one wanted to ask kojima that question at E3. VA might be a big issue to. No way Sutherland is going to record audio for smash

Yes it was.

I wouldn't mind someone else getting his moveset, but I just don't want the roster to be compromised by a character that isn't even releasing the new game he's in on the Wii U.
