Dark Pit as a seperate character would be about as terrible as that one game. You know the one.

 

[Cosmic Dreams]

i would genuinely be surprised if sakurai made dark pit a separate character over a recolor. again, lucina makes sense since she's a female with a completely different sword. Pit and Dark pit are the same characters that use the same weapons.

I don't think the orbiting menus were much of an issue in Prime 2 for me as far as its visual layout goes, it's more about just how fractured the logbook section was in general, so many subsections made for a rather confusing structure, it's like a mini metroidvania in my menu trying to remember the right path to reach the sky temple key hints.

 

[Exotoro]

where's that picture of robin attacking megaman with Nosferatu

please

 

[Caladrius]

So I was thinking about Metroid Prime's UI and how awesome it is... And then I remembered how bad Metroid Prime 2's is. Sure, the scan visor was massively improved, but this..
We should thank our lucky stars that whoever designed Prime 2's menus didn't design Smash's, because good gravy, just picking a character would be annoying.

I'm going to sound completely insane but If 8K televisions were standard I'd love a globe-shaped character select for each player.

We all know Maxwell has no shot against GAF's number 1 most-wanted WB rep.

Is this a play on Metroid Fusion using the same engine as Wario Land 4

Batman?

I'd rather have Batman than Maxwell at this point, at least his games are better.

Oh god I can't. It's nice of them to include Dixie AND King K. Rool instead of one or the other like most, but Geezus... talk about riding that Duck Hunt Dog train and going over the edge of the cliff with it with Ganon, Captain Rainbow, Maxwell, and Pokemon Smash.

 

[Toxi]

I literally just finished Echoes, like a bunch of hours ago. those orbiting logbook entries are my main gripe with the whole game. It's absurd they thought it was a good idea. I've never seen worse menus and options in my entire life.

I just finished Echoes too a few days ago, and yeah, they're horrible. For all the hate that people rightfully give Playstation All Star's UI, at least it was easy to use.

It's funny because Retro drastically improved the scan visor's ease of use, but completely fouled up the menus.

I don't think the orbiting menus were much of an issue in Prime 2 for me as far as its visual layout goes, it's more about just how fractured the logbook section was in general, so many subsections made for a rather confusing structure, it's like a mini metroidvania in my menu trying to remember the right path to reach the sky temple key hints.

I think the reason they had so many subsections was because you couldn't have too many entries up at the same time with the orbiting menus. Navigating 5 or so entries was bad enough already, I can't imagine navigating around every creature in the game trying to find if I had the Pillbug scan or not.

Who says they have to be dead?

I think Duck Hunt Dog should get an official name.

"I work on the 3DS version of Smash bros! but I only know about characters, and sorry no pics! also here's some info about an unrelated game"

 

[IntelliHeath]

I think Duck Hunt Dog should get an official name.

People at Smashboards coined reasonable names for Duck Hunt Dog if he's playable with ducks. They coined it as Dog & Ducks.

 

[Kyzon]

If he's playable he will. Most likely made up by Sakurai and Co.

Fun fact. They also made up the name Zero Suit Samus.

If Duck Hunt dog is playable, I bet it's because Sakurai chose him to represent the moveset he almost thought of for Nintendogs during the Brawl days.

Naturally it's easier to swallow beating a cartoon looking dog then a realistic looking one too.

Especially when it's a cartoon dog that a lot of older gamers would absolutely love to beat the shit out of.

If any Metroid tracks in the next Smash have the Metroid Prime 2 whistle, I'll die happy. That sound is so wonderful.

Could I have a link to where ever you got that info? Not doubting you, just curious to read about it.

Yep, I would agreed with you there. Ironically enough, I made a same post like 10-20 pages ago. I even included the picture that Sakurai posted during Brawl era, explaining about Villager and Nintendog not being playable characters.

Especially when it's a cartoon dog that a lot of older gamers would absolutely love to beat the shit out of.

Exactly, but I wouldn't place a completely faith in a rumor tho. It would be cool if it actually happens. If it didn't happens then I wouldn't be surprised because Sakurai don't really give Dog a recognition. If you look at Melee, you would only see Duck as trophy. For Super Smash Bros Brawl, Duck was a sticker.

From the Iwata ask, Iwata tells Sakurai he couldn't make Nintendog into a fighter very well.

Somebody is trying really hard.

I don't believe a single rumor that's out there right now, including the second part of the Gematsu one. And I'd be absolutely shocked if Duck Hunt Dog was in Smash.

I'm trying to find the source. However it's not related to the question that you asked, but I remember there is a picture of this when he were talking about assist trophy or something.

You know, if Villager wasn't in, Maxwell would be the next best thing. lol at his FS being Cthulu, too.

This might be my favorite title screen music of all time - at least, it's up there with TTYD.

Can I just mention how much more I love the CSS in this than in Brawl, specifically in Widescreen? In Brawl, you just had so much empty space. I hated that. In this, it looks like there won't be much of that!

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Hidden characters have already been revealed, it's not as big of a deal as it used to be that a character is unlockable. People expecting some hidden surprises in the roster via unlockables are going to be disappointed.

All of the characters revealed so far are starters. It pisses me off so much when anyone suggests otherwise. Sakurai isn't the dumb MK8 team, he is not going to reveal a character that you have to unlock except for maybe third parties, but I think they too will be starters. Theres no real reason to have the unlockable unless its a secret character, which obviously any character officially revealed isn't secret.

Why isn't G&W on the website? Its because he's a unlockable character that was just used to do that little video in Pac-Man's trailer. Like the previous games, there will probably be atleast 4 unlockable newcomers if not more. They could be all clones, but they still will be new.

 

[Toxi]

Everyone talks up Corruption, but Echoes really has the best title music of the Prime trilogy.

The menu theme is also awesome.

Neiteio, it's easy to do, just time consuming. I think you could do it just fine in Paint.NET!

Toon Link and Luigi as starters?
