I hope Kyle Hyde is an assist trophy

he could smack the characters around and lecture them about properly raising their children

 

[Keru_Shiri]

We are reading way too much into a translation...

 

[Krowley]

considering how niche Dr Wright is, I imagine a SimCitii must be in the works.

Or maybe spore, with Dr Wright included

that would be sweeter IMO.

 

[RiskyChris]

In that quote, he's playing off the fact that someone visiting the Web site's first impression will be, "Why would I want to use that Nintendog? It'll be in my way, too!" Considering Sakurai's sense of humor in these updates, it would be more likely that he was being coy and you wouldn't actually care about the 'dog blocking your view when you play the game -- because your character disappears.

I take the stance that assist trophies can sometimes backfire, like a Goldeen that also screws you over.

Speculation-time !

[Danthrax]

The last trailer showed characters able to destroy the three platforms floating above the main area. Perhaps they have all been destroyed to show the effect of Dr. Wright's attack better? Or maybe the skyscrapers themselves can smash stuff. :O

Yeah I think you're right, after looking at some of the other Kid Icarus stage screenshots:

 

[Kevtones]

Watch the Nintendo World Movie on the front page. You can see it in motion.

Word, thank you! I'm sort of new to this nightly Megaton business!

 

[Danthrax]

It's called "Japan Time." Welcome to the party!

 

[dfyb]

the dog is also in the first e3 trailer. only 3 other players are shown.

i find it highly unlikely that the 4th player has avoided being shown in all of these examples.

:lol :lol :lol

I like it! And when he pops up that "urgent" music starts playing. Awesome.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Okay, that's just awesome. :lol

 

[Kevtones]

:lol I have much to learn

Then again, Dr. Wright was a trophy in Melee, and the SNES version of SimCity is now readily availabe on the Virtual Console.

 

[Zerodoppler]

I don't know how some people can complain when we're getting awesome fanservice like this. I hope Sakurai didn't forget to put in Mr. Stevenson as an AT as well.

 

[PolyGone]

true, didn't think of that

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

DR. WRIGHT? :lol :lol :lol That came out of NOWHERE!

So true. :lol This is really a surprise !!

 

[superfly]

The inclusion of Dr Wright is brilliant. I was never a huge fan of the smash bros gameplay, but as a fanboy throwback, this version looks to be the ultimate

 

[Pipomantis]

Gimme a Mach Rider that runs over my contestants as an assist trophy for god's sake !

 

[thefro]

Awesome assist character update, as someone whose 2nd SNES game was Sim City.

 

[MasterMFauli]

Lol, i just thought how this game could start another megaton for Nintendo at E³.
How about Sakurai presenting the game, telling us: "If you choose Samus Aran for the adventure-mode, you´re re-playing the whole game of "Super Metroid" with remaked 2,5D graphics. If you choose Link, you´ll play through "A Link to the past" from a top-down view in improved 2,5D visuals. Every character´s adventure-mode will be one of their most famous games remade!"

 

[Myke Greywolf]

I'd pay 250€ for that alone - console not included.

 

[MGrant]

They wouldn't do that. The resulting semen tsunami would wipe out most of the northern hemisphere.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

The last trailer showed characters able to destroy the three platforms floating above the main area.

IIRC, the Nintendo World trailer showed the platforms in the Angel Land stage crumbling beneath players, not the players actually destroying them (unless you meant that in the sense that the players being on the platforms caused them to crumble?).

 

[psycho_snake]

How are the assist trophies going to work? Can you use all the colected trophies in a battle?

 

[Cosmonaut X]

I don’t think so. It seems that the Assist Trophy is just another item that will appear during a match. When your character picks it up & uses it, a randomly selected Assist Character will appear and dole out whatever special attack they have – Samurai Goro’s multiple slash attack, Hammer Bro.’s hammer toss, Dr Wright’s tower attack etc.

Think of it as a Poke Ball that contains a random character from a previous Nintendo game.

 

[Do The Mario]

This game is looking hot town, think I will pick myself up a Wii in the next few weeks.

 

[Haunted]

Oh hell, assist trophies are going to bring so much fanservice. :lol

Ok, so far so good.
But the second Nintendo reveals an awsoem character to be only an assist trophy, i´ll get angry >_<

Ridley as assist trophy confirmed.

 

[MasterMFauli]

Ridley as assist trophy confirmed.

 

[Mistouze]

I know I might begin a geek war here but here is my question : Do you think there will be any MGS assist trophies in the game? I'd love to see some of the bosses from the series!

 

[usea]

Yes.

 

[Ramenman]

So true. :lol This is really a surprise !!

Seriously, out of ****ing NOWHERE :lol

I was like OMG OMG, not that I even knew the guy before, but just that now it's even more true that every freakin game character ever can be in this game !!

Well, I guess Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the kind of game where anyone can show up and anything can happen!

OH YES OH YES.

 

[mj1108]

haha...wow.... that was out of nowhere!! Very cool.

 

[DDayton]

All we need now are:

1) Elite Beat Agents / Oen--Oendo---whatever those leaders of cheering are called

2) Pac-Man

3) To a lesser extent, Sonic

 

[Koomaster]

Some of you guys are making me feel old calling Dr. Wright "obscure" :lol

 

[Chemo]

This is probably the most exciting update I've seen for this game yet. The Assist Trophies are ****ing amazing.

 

[ant1532]

Amir0x is going to be happy

Do you ever stop in the middle of typing a post and wonder if hitting submit is really smart

 

[SovanJedi]

Nope, I just watched it again and it clearly shows all the characters smashing the platforms with various A-button and B-button attacks.

(And on that note, I still think that Lylat stage looks absolutely ****ing incredible in motion.)

 

[MasterMFauli]

LOL, dude, what´s wrong NOW?

 

[Shiggy]

I've got doubts.

 

[djtiesto]

This is an awesome update... Nintendo's really digging into their back library for their fan service and I'm loving it! I'm just hoping that some of my favorites from Melee - Ice Climbers, Marth, G&W, make it in and aren't cut. And then having Doc from Punch Out and Mike Jones as assist characters... would make this game perfect. Can't wait for Nintendo's E3 conference, I hope we get more info on this game (like maybe online info or the reveal of Sonic)

 

[Cosmonaut X]

I’ll have to have another look when I get home from work, but I’ll take your word for it – and I must remember to ask ant to change the OP listing for that stage to reflect that. Being able to destroy the platforms would make for an interesting twist, though…

 

[GSG Flash]

I hope Tetris makes it's way onto this game somehow.

Yeah sure. And Ridley will be a playable character, too.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Dunno whether it's been noted earlier in the thread, but of the four assist trophy characters revealed so far, three have appeared as trophies in SSBM. Is it perhaps worth looking to the trophy listing for Melee for a hint as to which other characters might appear as assists?

The trophies were a very comprehensive catalogue of characters from previous Nintendo games... really pretty much any Nintendo character they could possibly use was a trophy in SSBM. It's not like they can retroactively expand their back catalogue.

"We made this awesome crossover game, but in the 1P mode each character will be confined to their own franchise! Isn't that great, guys?"

Besides the sheer implausibility of remaking Alttp in SSBB, considering the completely different engines, that would just be a waste of resources. Do you want to play through Zebes with Samus? Go play Metroid. This is SSB!

If they expand the single player game, I want to be able to kick space pirates with Captain Falcon, go through the dreamland with Mario and defeat Ganondorf's creatures with Ness. Characters out of their original worlds FTW. Some kind of platformer/action mode, divided in stages spread through different worlds, each world based on different series represented in SSBB, would be the perfect single player mode.

 

[Krowley]

There should be a tetris level with random falling blocks you have to avoid.
