The first 6 are all awesome. I've got to admit that I love the different styles in each. From cel shaded to anime. Sakurai nailed it.

I need a 3ds game for a long flight soon.

Here's what I've played: Fire Emblem: Awakening, Animal Crossing, Bravely Default, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Pokemon X, Link Between Worlds, Ocarina of Time, Kid Icarus Uprising, Ace Attorney 5, Pushmo, Fallblox. Already played 999 and VLR on other platforms.

Was thinking Kirby or Ace Attorney v Layton, or maybe digging up some old gear and maybe trying to see if I can get AAI2 to work...

Kirby's a good choice, but it probably won't last you terribly long... There's maybe 15 or so hours of content in there if you're willing to squeeze to the last drop.

Pac-Man - Mii Fighters (that bit with Iwata vs Reggie was too good) - Rosalina (because at first I sincerely believed it would be revealing Kirby as driver in MK8 lol) - Lucina/Robin - Wii Fit Trainer - Palutena - Greninja - Mega Man - Little Mac - Villager

Lucina and Robin is top tier because of based Falcon and the great CG style.

Mega Man's is just awesome, Villager's was great as the intro trailer, Mii was good for the Reggie v. Iwata fight, and I also liked Little Mac's.

Do you like Kingdom Hearts

The 3ds one is good.

haha, that and rune factory 4 are right out. Region locking.
Oooof. Forgot about that, sorry.

Lemme wrack my brain for a moment. I think Devil Survivor Overclocked's got a PAL version, but I'm not sure how hard or easy it is to find. Plus there was that debacle about the glitch that got added in. Theatrhythm is a pretty solid rhythm game, too, with a huge tracklist if you're about that.
 
I'm really liking the Chrom and Roy friendship shown in fanart/images since both of them aren't in Smash.

Get Kingdom Hearts 3D! Edit: Nevermind.

The rest were good. But these are my tops.

I had Theatrhythm and sold it on; I simply didn't remember enough FF tunes to make it worth it to me and the rhythm/rpg elements weren't grabbing me.

Might grab X and X-2 for Vita though

I don't know man, it's hard for me to rank the videos because my attachment to them also comes from the situation in which I saw them.

Megaman? For one thing it was our first look at the game. Too hype. But the scene where he's a silhouette and then he gets the helmet? I was in a Skype call with my friend who's a huge Megaman fan and just everything about that moment was amazing.

Greninja's trailer was beast because it ended the Smash Direct, which was.. a pretty big deal. I was super stressed about classes and stuff so getting a message from the same friend as above telling me that there was 30 mintues of news + a new character = incredible. Incredible.

Pac-Man was cool not necessarily because of the trailer but again because of the whole day surrounding it. An entire day of Smash from the Nintendo Digital Event and refreshing video game sites and keeping up with news on impressions and whatnot. The invitational wrapped up and then here I am looking at liveblogs to see what was in that developer round table. In a skype call with same friend (lol) and here we are reading the news and we see it: "Pac-man in smash" AGHHHHh gosh so good. And then going nuts on the Smashbros website refreshing and waiting for the video to upload. It was a beautiful moment.

Wow I seriously just recapped on the biggest events in the last year related to this game.

I think Little Mac's video was mega stylin' though, so to properly answer your question he's one of the ones up there.

Edit: I MIGHT ALSO ADD that the Mii Fighters video if you include the Iwata v Reggie fight was INCREDIBLY funny to watch in the Nintendo Direct given no prior context. The Event was was already off to a very silly start, and then that happened, and I was like "Whatttt?!" I had a hunch it was for Mii and all but god damn it was funny.
 

Masked Man

I said wow
I'd like to help Gaf out with coverage too. I live in Japan and will be getting the game at midnight. If you have any specific questions you want answered, please send me a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Where can you get the game at midnight in JP? I want to get in on that, but I don't know of any places that will be open at midnight to release the game!

Really? Did you see anything about certain character being cut on twitter? Or was it actually Chrom?

They specifically said "the reason why Chrom wasn't used in Smash 3DS/Wii U was listed in the latest issue of Famitsu", but they failed to go into detail about what that reasoning was.

You need some Life and Hometown.
 
SHULK WHEN?

You REALLY want to get shulked badly dont you? Some of you people need to go out more. ;P

Tonight we will get a newcomer trailer for a Fatal Frame character. #Believe

Actually....Fatal Frame is made by Tecmo Koei right? I can totally see a Fatal Frame Assist Trophy. A ghost covers the whole screen a la nintendogs while the Fatal frame protagonist tries to seal it away in the spirit camera.

I'll strongly vouch for Triple Deluxe. Never really cared for Kirby games before, despite owning Epic Yarn and Return to Dreamland and giving both a fair shake. But there's something special about Triple Deluxe. It seems simple at first, but the inventiveness is consistent and the pacing is snappy and the feedback from all of the different moves is gratifying. And the art direction is superb, with wonderfully animated characters and terrain transformations, and beautifully layered landscapes where you bounce back and forth between background and foreground, and elements in one impact the other. Definitely play it in stereo 3D. Oh, and the music is great, there are reams of collectibles, and the supplementary modes are neat. :)

That's interesting so I'm looking forward to see whoever got the magazine and explain it here. It gotta to be good.

So, has it been confirmed that the game will have unlockable characters? At this point, it looks like we'll get the entire roster (including hidden fighters) revealed before the game comes out similar to Mario Kart 8. I'd be pretty surprised if we got 4 Fire Emblem characters in the starting roster along with previous unlockable characters like Luigi, Toon Link, and Lucario.

It was confirmed by unreliable source. (Nintendo Rep. I'm not sure if it's Treehouse worker or not)
 
So Max posted a new video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUTe4g5tfYq-IZy7vvhYV1LQ&v=hEhVbToD0Qk

Was excited...untill I read it was all Matt talking and his speculation.

My reaction finding out it was matt:

Meh, its a alright video...I guess.

I'm pretty sure there will be, though perhaps the Wii U version might not because of the 3DS version (I doubt this though).

I know it's series tradition, but unlockable characters are laaaaaaaaame

Don't like 'em, no sir

Recently started up Brawl for a party. It's on my WiiU. Most of the characters are locked because I didn't transfer over my Wii save. Shiiiiiiiiiiiet!

Just have all of those sweet, delicious characters available from the start.

Pls Mashpotato Samurai, hear my cry

God damn, this. I'm OK with unlocking stages, music, trophies, stickers, whatever. But locking away characters, which is the main thing fighting games (SPECIALLY crossover ones) is just lame and it sucks.
