Thank goodness for Metroid: Other M, the game that made it clear that Samus is only a viable character when near-fatally subservient to a man
 
why are we talking about shipping
We are? Damnit people, this is the general Nintendo thread, not some silly conest to see if amazon or play-asia ships to the US faster.

Seriously, someone needs to create a general Nintendo thread in community after the dojo ends. Or else we will be lost forever. :(

Also its time for me to post another leak:
Actually, no its not. Since for the first time ever I did not check for leaks today. Been catching up on Nintendo Force and beat Kirby Triple Deluxe. Don't worry! I will read all fake leaks and post them as soon as I can!

I generally enjoyed Other M, but that is the one part of it I just cannot excuse. Samus having feelings, fears, and emotions beyond "shoot everything" is great - awesome, actually - but making her subservient to Adam to the extent that she was... there's just no excuse for that.

I do get her showing respect and deferring to her former commander for old time's sake and because it was technically Adam's operation. That just shows that she's respectful to her one-time COs, male or female. But not activating her Varia Suit in molten areas and nearly dying because of it simply because Adam didn't authorize it took things way too far.

I'm a little confused are custom moves only unlockable in the 3ds version and have to be transferred to the wii u?

There was a screenshot that showed the little customization item bag in the Wii U game. So presumably we will be able to get them there. I ended up stopping my 3DS grind to unlock them when I saw that earlier this week
and haven't touched the game since.

we need an extra early POTD this time to get rid of this discussion
It's going to be super late, and by the time Sakurai posts it the thread will have moved on to talking about the ethical ramifications of PikachuxSamus shipping and the thread will be permalocked

What is shipping? I probably don't want to know actually.

It's basically just being a fan of a romantic pairing (real or imagined) in a fictional work.
 
She's in a full armor capable of sustaining extreme heat and cold, WHY DOES SHE HAVE A CLOAK!?

Master Chief did the same thing in the Halo 4 reveal trailer!

Not 4. The next one. 5?

The biggest reason we need Other M considered non-canon...

Anyway what is everyone's prediction for POTD tonight?

Yeah, let move away from those shipping discussions. It's not healthy for threads :p.

A little over 1 month to go before the Wii U version goes live! Hope that from here on out every PotD will be a Wii U version pics.

Wonderful 101 stage reveal, Mr. G&W and Jigglypuff, Smash Direct 2 announcement for Tuesday, WiiU demo to go up later that day, free WiiUs to be given out at Gamestop on launch day, Santa Claus is real, and a personal house visit from Sakurai to all who purchase the game and register it on Club Nintendo by 12/31/2014.

I'd love to see the Pirate Ship stage return, but something tells me they'll bring back the Temple instead.

Temple is not a good stage, but I guess it does have nostalgia going for it. That was the very first stage I played in Melee. Don't remember if it was intentional or randomly selected. Was Mario vs Bowser, because why the hell not.

And my first Brawl match was Ike vs Zelda. Not sure which stage.

Smash 64, I just know my first match was as Samus.
 
Temple will be back, it's iconic of the series and has smash run music in the 3DS version. Luigi's Mansion and Rainbow Cruise do as well, and also Castle Siege and Halberd, but we know about them already.

I don't really see why Pirate Ship and Temple can't both return. Especially considering it seems likely both rainbow cruise and luigis mansion are returning, the old retro level per series seems not accurate. If a level deserves to come back, it shouldn't really matter if that series already has a retro level.

Quite honestly, I'd like Eldin to return too, just because between Skyloft, Eldin, Temple and Pirate Ship represents a fantastic cross selection of the entire Zelda series.

Speaking of which, what the hell were they thinking, having Final Destination as the hardest stage to unlock in Melee?

Oh, Mega Man Legends is completely different. That series plays by its own (awesome) rules. Haha, but yeah, MegaMan Trigger does come off as a bit pervy depending on what optional events you come across...


Oh god, this. This so goddamn much. Pirate Ship was my favorite Brawl stage and I want a Pirate Ship HD stage in Smash Wii U more than any other potentially returning stage.

In addition to a completely new, original Wind Waker HD stage. I'll take Forest Haven or Submerged Hyrule Castle...


This picture is amazing, my god.

I'd want the Forsaken Fortress, personally. I think the lighting changes for Wind Waker HD worked best in the dark, funnily enough. Something about the bloom in the daytime bothered me.

Helmaroc King stage boss too.

Then with at least one new stage that would be 5 Zelda stages. Does Mario even have that many?

Edit: Wait, Skyloft is new in Smash 3DS/Wii U. Thinking about the PM stage. Oops.

I only want Pirate Ship back if they bring back swimming for the Wii U version.

I know Melee's Great Bay didn't have swimming but after Brawl, it boggles my mind that fighters just drop down into the ocean like nothing is stopping them in Tortimer Island and Paper Mario.
