Shame we get the inferior Yoshi Island. I would of taken Yoshi Story's Stage over that.

But what is the stage next to that?

 

[Kouriozan]

why would you release this game the same day as pokemon?

damn you nintendo

Come to EU, we get Pokémon a week after US, Smash 2 weeks after and Captain Toad a whole month after!
Amazing!

 

[emb]

Image is broken for me, can someone please rehost?

Does that work?

(Though I have no idea of the authenticity. But cool if it is back.)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

there is no way the team is going to work until Spring for just MEWTWO so I expect a few more DLC to drop on us when sales slow down

now I am forced to buy 3DS version just in case of more tie-ins

 

[Papercuts]

So basically fuck Pyrosphere and Gaur Plains. The boss focus just doesn't make stages fun at all.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Someone should gif that Amiibo video kid getting rejected.

it could have a lot of use with diff faces.

I might if no one else does.

 

[friskykillface]

I see no brinstar depths or poke floats ;_;

Maybe next lifetime

Looks like N64 Kongo Jungle is back

What's the stage to the left of SSBM Yoshi's Island? Is it a Yoshi's Story stage!?

I might if no one else does.

So gonna get a bunch right now.

 

[Sp3eD]

The item frequency is total bullshit. There is zero reason that it can't be in the 3ds version and should be patched in. Probably one of my biggest complaints about the 3ds version to be honest.

 

[InsuRn]

Really happy with what they showed. And finally Ridley's fate got sealed. Now I can move on knowing only the AI will play it

[Grexeno]

This had 40k views on Twitch, maybe higher at some point but I only saw that. I think Nintendo is really missing out by not having streaming on the Wii U.

Increasing viewership to 41K views.

 

[Refreshment.01]

Absolutely! I was getting worried the Gamepad will be only for mirroring the damn footage of the TV screen but omg, those photo modes edit features and stage builder is just perfect.

Would have liked a detailed paint mode for the characters also. If Nintendo isn't too keen on people painting over their IP at least have the mode for the Mii characters. Just allowing for detailed painting (not even decals, just color swaps) would have introduced a lot more variety.

Would have been cool maybe, a sort of dungeon master option where the Gamepad player can alter conditions of the match on the fly.

But at least we ended up having a good Gamepad use in a game most people were exppecting nothing XD

 

[emb]

What's the stage to the left of SSBM Yoshi's Island? Is it a Yoshi's Story stage!?

Looks like Paper Mario maybe? At least the windmill reminds me of that.

 

[rekameohs]

Does that work?

(Though I have no idea of the authenticity. But cool if it is back.)

16 past stages.

Oh.

 

[Dryk]

I can't believe Wii U Gaur Plains is going to be even worse. Also Garden of Hope has hazards and Pyrosphere is Magicant 1.5

 

[ffdgh]

My point is that comparing two completely different situations is silly. Using the Mario Kart promo as an argument for Mewtwo being offered as DLC in the future doesn't make sense, since both situations are completely different. Same is true for the Ambassador games, which also were being offered in a completely different context.

Will Nintendo offer Mewtwo as DLC in the future? Well, who knows. It's certainly possible. However, making him an exclusive "loyalty bonus" would also be a very Nintendo thing to do, so acting like it's a foregone conclusion and even calling other people "idiots" for doubting it, is pretty silly.

Nintendo knows people will pay money for mewtwo. They aren't that daft.

 

[MrSaturn99]

What's the stage to the left of SSBM Yoshi's Island? Is it a Yoshi's Story stage!?

Maybe Yarn Yoshi?!? I can't think of any Yoshi game with a windmill in the background.

 

[Drago]

Does that work?

(Though I have no idea of the authenticity. But cool if it is back.)

Holy shit I think that's a Woolly World stage

THAT'S A WOOLLY WORLD STAGE OH MY GOD

Between that and my dream Miiverse stage coming true... oh god I am so happy!!!

 

[Mory Dunz]

So gonna get a bunch right now.

A bunch of GIFs?
maybe, but no ones really paying attention to that vid with the craziness right now though.

 

[TheMoon]

I don't even know what happened I was laughing too hard at that amazing announcer.

BUTTONS!

SOUND TEST!

IT HAS A MICROPHONE!

 

[cafemomo]

let me change palutena's alt to pink or something and i will do anything for you sakurai

 

[SmackAttack]

This had 40k views on Twitch, maybe higher at some point but I only saw that. I think Nintendo is really missing out by not having streaming on the Wii U.

It was at 61k on YouTube at one point. Could have been more but I was glued to the video.

[The Bankslammer]

So seems like Pac-Land is unlockable, like Pac-Maze was in the 3DS version.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Holy shit I think that's a Woolly World stage

THAT'S A WOOLLY WORLD STAGE OH MY GOD

Between that and my dream Miiverse stage coming true... oh god I am so happy!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot that had a name change LOL

I can't believe we're potentially getting a stage based on a future game!

 

[Jaeger]

I have to rewatch the video. I'm so pumped right now.

The whole which version is superior debate is dead. Everyone really knew which version would be the definitive one. Outside of the Soundtrack and DLC, I don't have any reason to play the 3DS version post Wii U.

Anyway, MEWTWO!

 

[Xeroblade]

there is no way the team is going to work until Spring for just MEWTWO so I expect a few more DLC to drop on us when sales slow down

now I am forced to buy 3DS version just in case of more tie-ins

Wait to buy it, thats what I am going to do. I mean look at how that direct pooped all over the 3ds version.

 

[Refreshment.01]

Isn't Michiru Yamane a Konami composer mainly. So why is she in the credits?

 

[astrogamer]

Jesus, WOW.

This isn't includes some other stages we know like Pac-Land and Miiverse. I have to double check for that.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Is that dk64 level image for real? It looks off compared to the other stage pic floating around

 

[Kriken]

No black bars either and plenty of female characters too.

Breaking news: A sudden outburst of brain hemorrhages causes production to stop at Ubisoft

 

[King Hippo]

Ahh that wrecking crew representation, so good!

 

[Masked Man]

Looks like Paper Mario maybe? At least the windmill reminds me of that.

That's what I thought at first, but it's listed down with the Yoshi stage(s) and away from the Mario collection.

Maybe Yarn Yoshi?!? I can't think of any Yoshi game with a windmill in the background.

Yeah, I couldn't recall one, either, so Yarn Yoshi it is! That would explain why the Yarn Yoshi music was used during the Direct as well.

Holy shit I think that's a Woolly World stage

THAT'S A WOOLLY WORLD STAGE OH MY GOD

Between that and my dream Miiverse stage coming true... oh god I am so happy!!!

All our dreams are coming true! BELIEVE!

 

[Kansoku]

I need a Wii U.

 

[Vyse24]

I love it.

 

[mmxzero]

I couldn't be happier about the Palutena "codec" conversations, Kid Icarus Uprising 4 life

That was great direct, so much stuff packed in this game.

And hopefully those who think that you can only get Mewtwo if you get the 3DS and WiiU version are done embarrassing themselves.

 

[ec0ec0]

I was able to see the direct using the iphone of a friend

About the direct, dissappoined. I saw many useless things. I just wanted smash.

 

[demosthenes]

It was at 61k on YouTube at one point. Could have been more but I was glued to the video.

Yea I think Nintendo is really missing out.`

 

[Nothing1016]

Isn't Michiru Yamane a Konami composer mainly. So why is she in the credits?

She left Konami around 2008/2009 and is now freelance I believe.

 

[Crazyorloco]

People..people the 3DS version of smash is actually pretty good. I don't understand these comments. You don't have to buy it (unless you want Mewtwo right away) but it's not a bad purchase if you do.

This was an great Nintendo direct. This will be the definitive smash bros. game I can't wait to hear all the music in the game.

 

[astrogamer]

Is that dk64 level image for real? It looks off compared to the other stage pic floating around

I found it from NintendoEverything and it looks like its from a press release

 

[Codeblue]

I love it.

This was probably the highlight for me, DLC aside.

 

[Moonlight]

I love it.

I am not kidding that this is second-only to Mewtwo in terms of reveals today. I was crossing my fingers SO DAMN HARD for this, and it's as glorious as I imagined it would be. ;_;

 

[Spinluck]

Weird that they didn't show items in 8 player Smash.

Anyway, I really wish that I could get online with a friend and do team battles against other players not on my friends list. I really can't see why that is not a feature or option.

 

[BY2K]

Best thing about the Direct: It confirms there's an opening for the Wii U version.

I swear if I don't hear SUPAH SMAAAAAASH BROTHERRRRRRRRS I'm gonna cry.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Weird that they didn't show items in 8 player Smash.

You should watch the BJ trailer.

 

[Gaiaknight]

My body was definitely not ready for this direct cant believe all the stuff revealed today and we are less than 5hrs away from bayonetta 2 this was a great way to end th eweek.

 

[darkmagus]

bomb after bomb, my god!! came with mild expectations. left super Hyped!!
