That seems to be what the guys are doing for Killer Freaks.
They better stick with that as an option/mode that is featured and not toss it under the rug.

In that scenario it could be GLaDOS.
It could tease you to look at the Upad to catch a hint or something.
Phew! Totally with you though, wasted away yesterday night making a gif for Starcraft.
Really interesting how they manage to get the social multiplayer component down, especially with the limited Pad support and Wiimotes not included (?).
Heh Ace, real RPG's, now that would be interesting. Stuff like Left4Dead is at least already playing with similar ideas. Could be nice.
Sooooooo good.
I'm starting to doubt an appearance of Smash Bros at this E3. The Melee and Brawl reveal trailers were god tier. Not sure if Sakurai could cook something up that can hang at that level in... 4 months?

The oddest part is the little nubs on the side.Pictures of the back of the console make it look so enigmatic. So much we don't know.
They almost look like places to put straps...
A CGI trailer with a few new arrivals is doable, but probably not anything with gameplay.

A CG trailer could be done in four months, but it's a question of whether he's designed the characters, decided who some of the newcomers will be, what their weapons and styles will be, etc.

and
for more Wii inside stuff
shows how much that dvd drive takes up. I wonder if the Wii U will have a more portable drive (like a laptop style drive)
I also wonder what the "new" Wii (the one that gets rid of Gamecube parts) looks like
Imagine how small it could be without the DVD-drive, if it only used 32GB flash cards as "physical media".
Anyway, you guy's think they'll be building Wii components into this thing or just somewhat emulating for BC?

Well we all know
is coming back as a playable character, they might's well confirm it.
Sorry Ace, I don't think anyone wants to see Mathew.
And why would they?
We all want this:
Such a BA.
They aren't using 1T-SRAM, so they can't put Wii parts into it. It'll have to be all emulated via software somehow.

I'd say Magnus is probably the only lock right now.
Skyward Sword Link, obviously, but that is more of a redesign than a new character. Rosalina might be in, as well.

Portal pad (PU-Pad? haha) Nice work, love it.I made a new gif. Since it's almost 7MB and not E3 yet, I'll be considerate of some of your computers. Any gifs I possibly make in June... well my condolences in advance.

I wonder if Demise or Ghirahim will make it into the next Smash? Dr. Mario needs to come back, Mewtoo too. Also, Mega Man needs to come home.

Could Shulk from Xenoblade be in? Monolith is first party now, right? So Shulk is officially a Nintendo character?

You forgot Honey Queen.
Character designs could've easily been started in the waning days of KI development.
You're gonna have to have Capcom take the pillow off his face first...
I'd be okay with that.
That Melee trailer was pretty much Melee graphics over the Smash 64 engine, and the Brawl trailer was Brawl graphics over the Melee engine... but even still, 4 months after Kid Icarus has gone gold. Can't see it happening.
As for characters, I'm having a hard time choosing more than 5 to be honest. Who else? Meta Knight, ZSS and Pit weren't exactly heavy hitters when the Brawl trailer was released. Wario and Snake made the trailer for me. They've exhausted damn near every first party Nintendo character. I can't think of anyone at the level of a MK, ZSS and Pit, let alone a Wario or Snake.
Palutena is in there 100%. The wrestler from Rhythm Heaven is a lock. Mega Man would be nice. Besides that, who else is there? Waluigi? Rosalina? Bowser Jr?

I remember people guessing that they are there to stop anyone from standing the system on its side or pushing it against something, blocking the vents. Makes sense to me.
Well I'm not sure how the development cycles flow, but maybe they already assembled a small team to start working on the next Smash near the end of the Kid Icarus Uprising development?

I tend to think Nintendo treats Waluigi pretty much the same way Capcom now treats Mega Man.
I would play as Waluigi, and I'd love to see a fresh game with him.

Aren't they to stop you putting it in a tight space?
I.e. there'd always be airflow as the nubs create a small gap.
No other console maker thought of this?

Koopa Kids and Bowser Jr. as playable Smash characters would be amazing. Put them ALL in as "one" character and tag team 'em out kind of like the Pokemon trainer but on a whole new level.
That or all I ask is that I don't have to wait another 18-20 years to see the Koopa Kids in a game again. :/

It's not like they were all heavily involved with KI up until the day before it came out. With a game as huge as Smash, preliminary work has definitely been under way for a bit. Also, how are MK and Pit not heavy hitters? Tons of people wanted them in and neither was a surprise. You can't think of ANYONE on the level of the Brawl reveals? Little Mac? Ridley? Mii Fighter? All three are much more likely than the Wrestler.

The GameCube has them too.
Yep.
Seems like it.
Even the picture from the front shows it...
...So that there's at least a small space in case people put it in relatively tight spaces and none are blocked.
What Jet Set Radio rumor??!? SOMEONE MUST TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Isaac got so hot with age. <3!
I was just about to say that. SWEET JESUS. And I don't even LIKE beards!
I wouldn't have considered MK or Pit heavy hitters in 2006.
I forgot about Ridley. That big bastard better be in there.
I was kidding about the wrestler. But not really.

I want Dan Hibiki in the next Smash Bros. And yes I'm serious.
I've never expected any Wii components to be in it as they would want to save on that cost.
Thanks. I can see GLaDOS also making insults from the controller while you play. Maybe something like using "waggle" to play the game.
I made a Portal 2, Wii U gif if it will help.

That the game was apparently been in the (early) works for the Wii U and canned. Was been done by Headstrong (House of the Dead Overkill), but Sega is currently going through some problems and cancelled a few games they were making.
Wonder if it was related to the Jet Set Radio-reboot Headstrong (back when they were Kuju); pitched for the Wii.

If anything, guess it shows that Codemasters is on-board since last year, even when WRC hasn't been mentioned for Wii U...yet.
Nevermind, WRC is been done by Milestone. Codemasters jumping on it was an rumor.

What don't we know about the back of the console? I see a power port, sensor bar port, HDMI, Nintendo's standard A/V port, two USB ports, and a case fan.

I like to stand my consoles vertically but will gladly make an exception for the Wii U.
No way the new Smash just adds a bunch of characters without leaving a few behind so who won't be returning from Brawl?

Everyone better be back. Including Melee dudes.
But if I had to guess... probably Lucario and Toon Link. Replaced by gen 6 Lucario equivalent and whatever iteration of child Link is popular in 2014.

Ike and Lucario, first and foremost. Then sadly toon link most likely
Agreed on all 3. Add Lucas, Wolf, and maybe Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff is grandfather claused. I can see wolf and lucas being removed as well.

As cool as Wolf is/was, he's just another placeholder for the essentials, Fox and Falco. I actually like Lucas. So other than Wolf, probably Ike needs to go.

Magnus will be the new Ike.
i hate hate HATE lucario! i was so pissed when they ditched mewtwo for lucario. what a stupid character... no real relevance to the pokemon series, just as common as the next pokemon, and in no way as iconic as mewtwo. the only thing worse would have been blaziken - i was ripping my hair out when listening to fan requests all that time ago >_>Ike and Lucario, first and foremost. Then sadly toon link most likely
ike will get replaced with whichever FE character there is at the time of the next smash release (though i'd kill for them to make lyn a playable character).
i think toon link will stay. toon link essentially replaced young link from melee, and toon link's following and uniqueness is too strong to drop.
