I don't know why, I've never played Earthbound (yeah yeah I know, someday), but I feel all sorts of tingly nostalgia and feel choked up on sheer joy whenever I hear that Melee Victory theme.

The "Eight Melodies" themes in general always make me feel really nostalgic. Moreso the Mother one than the Earthbound one, though; I can't listen to the former without tearing up to some degree. The choral version used in the original commercials only makes this worse.

Also, I'd totally be okay with Ness reusing his Melee victory theme based on Earthbound's "Eight Melodies" while Lucas uses the Brawl one based on Mother's title screen.

lol at the "Wario is Missing" pic!

Wario is Wissing

 

[SenorArdilla]

I liked Game & Watch's Melee victory theme over the Brawl one. Just like how I prefer Flat Zone to Flat Zone 2.

He could pass for a Ridley alt.

That batman's thighs alone is bigger than any Ridley body part lol.

SDCC is the last "big" media event before the games launch right (since I don't think Nintendo is going to TGS)? Might be a good time to reveal Snake (if he's still in the game).

Well, there's always a possible August Nintendo Direct if he isn't at Comic Con.

Spoiler

i will never give up hope

 

[Dr. Buni]

Listening to those, a lot of people need their melee victory theme back, especially Ness

Yup. If there is one thing I liked in Melee more than in 64 and specially Brawl, it was the victory themes.

Fall Direct, Smash 3DS Direct, Gamescom (seriously doubt this one)

 

[Xpike]

zelda series brawl victory theme is inherently better than zelda series melee victory theme on account of actually being a victory theme

victory themes that are just variants on the main theme make me strangely bitter grrrrrr

snakes victory theme is his game over music.
how does that make sense

 

[WiiRevolution1]

About time you got rid of that creepy avatar, I thought the bet was over a while ago

Its not my fault! There just wasn't a avatar to replace it! Everytime someone made avatars, they were taken before I had a chance to get em...till now.

August normal direct w/ newcomer trailer, Early september special smash 3DS direct w/ remaining chars. That's my prediction.

It actually plays when you finish a VR mission in MGS1 iirc

 

[The Great Gonzales]

I have trouble believing that they'll announce a character at Comic-Con. Nothing on the main website or in the PotDs has told us to pay attention to CC, and Nintendo wouldn't reveal anything without doing any hyping and advertising beforehand.

No johns

Pretty much what I expect too, though I wouldn't be surprised if the August Direct was focused just on Smash again like it was in April.

It does.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Yup. If there is one thing I liked in Melee more than in 64 and specially Brawl, it was the victory themes.

How unified were Brawl's victory themes in terms of instrumentation? I remember Melee's all/mostly sounded like they were played by a live orchestra, which was cool. I'd have to listen to them all back-to-back to see which I liked most.

 

[BGBW]

I found Wario!

TGS is after Japanese 3DS version launch. Probably the last big event is gamescom

 

[PadWarrior]

I found Wario!

Ah yeah

 

[georly]

Only reason I say normal direct is because of hyrule warriors needing coverage as well.

 

[ffdgh]

I found Wario!

Bat wario man?

 

[Loco4Coco]

I found Wario!

Damn it! lol

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Apparently Dylan Sprouse (of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody fame) wants to get into commentating Smash.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I love you too! LOL

 

[Drago]

That's true. Still, April had Directs dedicated to Smash, Tomodachi Life, and Mario Kart 8, I can see them doing multiple single-game-focused Directs in a month again.

Yeah that makes sense, it's worth keeping our eyes peeled on any Nintendo Direct haha, I wish they announced them earlier than they do!

Not only HW, but I bet they will show another new game out of nowhere in the next direct

Is that the one who got his dick out?

this guy thought the same stuff as me :lol

 

[BGBW]

Hopefully they don't do something silly like broadcast a pre release direct in Japanese only.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

He and his brother are pretty big Nintendo fans from what I can tell.

 

[Loco4Coco]

What if Japan gets exclusive characters?

 

[The Great Gonzales]

He and his brother are pretty big Nintendo fans from what I can tell.

But he's not a fan of Pink Gold Peach.

 

[BGBW]

Can I do Smash Commentary?

Masked man will be our savior, then. <3 <3

 

[HawthorneKitty]

No.

 

[LeGourmand]

So when does that 3DS smash tournament stream start?

 

[Neoxon]

I welcome him. Everyone deserves a shot to prove themselves.

 

[georly]

So when does that 3DS smash tournament stream start?

In a little under 24 hours.

 

[Professor Beef]

But he's not a fan of Pink Gold Peach.

That means hes perfect.

 

[ffdgh]

Thankfully Sakurai saw that was a stupid idea in melee with marth and roy .

 

[SmithnCo]

But he's not a fan of Pink Gold Peach.

As it should be

 

[BGBW]

No.

Hoping we get more live orchestra stuff considering Nintendo's recent trend in their latest games.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Good luck to him. I remember when he was really hyped up for Project M being released.

Spoiler

I still can't get over the fact that he's the kid in Big Daddy.

 

[Kriken]

Can I do Smash Commentary?

Only if you commentate like you're reading a CBOAT post

 

[Berordn]

The last proper good Kirby game I played was probably one of the DS ones (Or the one with the phone you could call people); How is Triple Deluxe?

Vastly superior to Amazing Mirror and Squeak Squad, the two Flagship developed titles. Not quite as good as Super Star Ultra, since its absolutely jam packed with content and challenge, but Triple Deluxe is easily the best original Kirby game in the last ten years. Still easy to blow through the story but there's challenge to be had if you're willing to find it.

 

[LeGourmand]

11.30 a.m

I'm guessing this is PDT. If so i'll be back from work before this start, perfect!

 

[JStein0222]

Man I would love if Wario got revealed in some newcomer trailer soon. Character has so much personality, he's gonna be hilarious in one of these fancy trailers.

 

[Makai]

that's my biggest fear for 4. Most stages have huge hazards or are walk offs.

Only BF and FD seem viable so far. (3DS)

Smash Boards discussed this and they're a little more optimistic:

Battlefield: Starter
Final Destination: Starter
Arena Ferox: Starter/Counterpick
Prism Tower: Counterpick
Boxing Ring: Counterpick/Banned
Rainbow Road: Counterpick/Banned
Spirit Train: Counterpick/Banned
Reset Bomb Forest: Counterpick/Banned
Find Mii: Counterpick/Banned
3D Land: Banned
Jungle Japes: Banned
Gerudo Valley: Banned
Tortimer Island: Banned
Balloon Fight: Banned
