Did someone replace Reggie's face with a flower pot?

 

[Linkhero1]

I predict a character update

 

[Golden Darkness]

When there's a new Pokemon update, it better be a 4th gen one.

We are also lacking a new character profile for the week.

But which one should I go for....

 

[Kafel]

Where is the Earthbound guy ?


How do you feel ?

Hope everything will be fine for you today ( yeah, I want my Mother update )

 

[ant1532]

He's back!

:lol That looked so funny when I first read.

 

[Zeed]

Where is the Earthbound guy ?

Over in Japan, busy not getting localized.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I smell megaton ahead...

 

[fernoca]

I smell megaton ahead...

The fact that you can "smell" things through your computer is a megaton already.

 

[VegaShinra]

Something Fire Emblem related is my guess for tonight.

 

[Duderz]

It'll probably be something lame, like Pikachu's final smash.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

THE SUSPENSE

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Past 3:01 and not updated, megaton confirmed

 

[Zeed]

The update is late wtf.

 

[Busaiku]

It'll probably be something lame, like Pikachu's final smash.

That's already happened.

 

[Easytoremember]

The update is late wtf.

the one time i stay up...

 

[Danthrax]

OH SHIT FROM THE ITALIAN SITE:

MOTHER!!

 

[Golden Darkness]

It is a Mother/Earthbound update.

The Franklin Badge.

http://www.smashbros.com/it/index.html

Q: Why does it say MOTHER on this item?
A: Is there anything WRONG with having an item that says that?

The Franklin Badge. It’s a little small.

Just put it on your chest for now. I mean, it IS a badge...

It doesn’t stand out much, but characters who wear this badge are protected from projectiles.

I’ve been shot!

It... It bounced off!

In other words, this item gives you reflector capabilities—and you don’t even have to do anything. Talk about handy! And reliable!

But it won’t stay on through an entire match, so be sure to notice when it comes off partway through the match. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.

Come on, now! Where are you sticking that thing?

 

[Zeed]

Wait, so is this what was supposed to make "Mother Fans really happy"? This is it?

 

[Duderz]

That's already happened.

I guess it'll be so lame that they'll talk about it again.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Oh so that is why they aren't updating the USA site. Mother stuff is exclusive for Europe/Japan

Edit:
NVM. I half expected Nintendo to do something like that

 

[ShockingAlberto]

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING BUT KIND OF ACTUALLY WAS

DAMNIT BUT YAY

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Oh poop, that was lame.

 

[Jiggy]

I like how Kirby just sort of sticks it on the top of his head.

 

[BorkBork]

Good timing on the forum uncensoring.

FUCK YEAH!

At least something Mother related anyways.

 

[Danthrax]

Franklin Badge, when you pick it up you wear it and all projectiles bounce off of you and hit other characters. This, based on my rough translation of the Spanish site.

[edit] You guys realize that this basically confirms Ness is back, right? They're obviously not ignoring the Earthbound series so they're not going to ignore a character that was unlockable in the first game and a starter in the second game.

Hear that Amir0x? Ness is in!

 

[Zeed]

Someone summon Amir0x.

 

[Duderz]

:lol at Kirby.

There you go, Mother fans! Maybe next week...

 

[HolyCheck]

[Zeed]

To be fair now that they've given us this shitty Mother update, I think we can probably expect a...not so shitty Mother update? Soon? Hopefully?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Another day, another Samus butt shot.

 

[kamikaze]

kirby rules!!! :lol

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Wait, so is this what was supposed to make "Mother Fans really happy"? This is it?

Well, while the badge itself is pretty weak, the fact that Nintendo is dropping the "Earthbound" name and utilizing the game's proper title is pretty cool.

It's like they are trying to act like Mother never existed anywhere.

*sigh*

 

[Somnid]

Today must be Jonk's lucky day. 2 item updates in one week and no pokemon/assist trophies.

[jman2050]

Samus = screwed

 

[Dark Ninja]

They should have used her for this quote!

"Just put it on your chest for now. I mean, it IS a badge..."

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Earthbound logo is officially there.

Someone update the list.

 

[Enduin]

To be fair now that they've given us this shitty Mother update, I think we can probably expect a...not so shitty Mother update? Soon? Hopefully?

The pattern in the past would indicate yes. Especially these past few dealing with FE. So I wouldnt be surprised if we got the Ness update next week along with his final smash or one of his moves.

By confirming that MOTHER characters/items/stages/whatever else will be in Brawl.

 

[scottnak]

kirby rules!!! :lol

Ahh Kirby. Love him. Hehehe.

 

[sprsk]

Why wouldn't they use the main character from Mother 3?

 

[Zeed]

The pattern in the past would indicate yes. Especially these past few dealing with FE. So I wouldnt be surprised if we got the Ness update next week along with his final smash or one of his moves.

The FE pattern was completely different - they just sprung Ike on us out of nowhere and followed up with an FE stage. Then came the Subspace Megaton. Still, maybe Lucas will show up next week, he's overdue already.

 

[Somnid]

It says Mother because people like me would have no idea what it was from.

 

[kman3000]

Kirby is so Cute in that pic.:lol
