What's the chances of Bayonetta being revealed?

 

[Platy]

If it is 50 NEW THINGS FOR THE WIIU VERSION than no new characters =P


....unless it has a boss mode where the gamepad player controlls the bosses and you count this as new characters =P

Unless bayonetta is announced as a playable character (which won't happen) I can't see this doing anything else than harm to bayonetta's sales. Even then it would still steal the spotlight. It's hilarious.
And fucking sad.

How can a video about Super Smash Bros affect Bayonetta sales? Unless there's some sort of subliminal messaging telling watchers not to buy the game I really have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

What's the chances of whatshername from Bayonetta being revealed?

There's genuinely more chance of Sakurai fellating a full size replica of Ridley (complete with a anatomically correct reptillian wang)

 

[emb]

Hype ^.^

I wonder how minor each of the 50 things is. I'm sure we'll see several stages and modes in that, but I wonder if they'll go down to little stuff like (assist) trophies and music. I wonder if we'll have anything left to speculate about for this version after Thursday.

Calling it:
Demo or more characters

This time my Club Nintendo notifications are as enabled as possible. Bring on the demo.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Awe yiss!!!

 

[ffdgh]

I can't wake up 6am in the morning

You can and you will! What if wolf is one of those 50 things?

 

[Zephyrus]

I want mewtwo. Give me mewtwo.

 

[Kandinsky]

So hyped, omg.

 

[Kazerei]

Yep. Japanese page says it's stuff not in the 3DS version

I think you are right since it said that they will show 50 things that aren't in 3DS version.

HYYYYYPE

 

[OmegaSmash]

FOR THE LOVE OF SMASH, PLEASE HAVE THE ICE CLIMBERS.

Look at the lovely pumpkin in my avatar. Look at it.

 

[KingSnake]

It's a Japanese game about a witch who shoots bullets from her shoes. I'm sorry, Nintendo could force people to buy it at gunpoint and it'd still be a commercial flop. Make peace with it.

Can one make pace with ignorance, though?

I just think blaming the inevitably poor sales on a 30 minute online stream is a little sad.

I'll wait the extra hour just to watch the Direct on time if I have to.

And I'm talking about acting so in the knowledge and describing a game from a 30 seconds video seen by accident or something in the same post.
Arrogance works better when you know what you are talking about.
Edit: or maybe you are just very bad at making summaries and in that case I apologize.

 

[Monocle]

I hope they slip a promo for Bayonetta 2 in there.

"Please be patient a little longer for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U. While you're waiting, consider enjoying the highest rated action game of the generation..."

 

[Frodo]

Coincidence that it is on the same day Bayonetta 2 comes out? I don't think so. Bayonetta unleashing Wicked Weaves as her final smash would be sweeeeeeeeet!

But I'd settle for 8 players Smash.

 

[Aeriscloud]

1 Ticket to hype please!

 

[OminousShadow]

Direct anticipation time!

HYPE!!!!

 

[chaosblade]

New/additional characters are one thing I definitely don't expect to hear about.

You won't BELIEVE what's in the new Smash Bros game!

Oh this is on Thursday now? Ok cool now I can play Bayonetta 2 non stop.

 

[Lonnie413]

Wonder Red as DLC, works like Shulk but instead of Monado modes its Unite Morphs that change his smash attacks.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Yup. Unless it's DLC, new character discussion is out of the question.

 

[Monocle]

They could literally show footage from just the demo superimposed with review scores and quotes, and viewers would fall all over themselves in their rush to buy Bayonetta 2.

I think she would be an Assist Trophy at most. Or trophies like the Fatal Frame 2 protagonists.

Let it go. Ice Climbers are not coming back (until the next Smash for the next generation, at least), because parity.

 

[chaosblade]

I don't expect to hear about DLC before launch either. Maybe a few months later kind of like Mario Kart.

Right but they won't though, will they. Come on.

 

[Ricky 7]

I have no doubt that that Vince McMahon .gif is going to be us during the direct.

 

[Mistle]

oh wow!

 

[Hours Left]

Parity is bupkis. They've been confirmed to work on the Wii U version. They should be put in.

The 3DS and Wii U version are already different enough, and since there's no cross play, parity is meaningless.

 

[georly]

You think they'll be numbered in the direct, or do you think it'll be up to us to count them?

 

[Hasney]

I have no doubt that that Vince McMahon .gif is going to be us during the direct.

This one?

Spoiler

I know the one you mean and hope you're right!

 

[Exile20]

 

[NotDreamcast]

Might be cool.

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[TheSlySoul]

Nice that they decided Direct instead of announcement. Why did it have to be directly after work? Guess I will be leaving a bit early to see it when it starts.

 

[ActStriker]

My body is ready.

 

[Enforced]

Hype!

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

what the hell

 

[Aostia]

Meh.
No Wii U Direct confirmed....I wonder if they at least give us one of them in January.......

 

[Platy]

The 3DS and Wii U version are already different enough, and since there's no cross play, parity is meaningless.

Let me put this way :

Ice Climbers could have worked on the 3DS ... but Sakurai CHOOSE to have better graphics and 60 fps on 3DS.

If they made the graphics like the n64 version we could had even 8 player ice climber matches =P

Okay.....?

Still wanna see them in the Wii U version. They work. It's time to let them loose~

 

[georly]

You can't use a hype train gif for smash that DOESN'T have Sakurai in it. That's silly.

 

[Kjellson]

This will be a nice thing to watch while I download Bayonetta 2.

 

[PadWarrior]

Should be interesting.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Smash Bros. Wii U Direct on Thursday, Bayonetta 2 and Fantasy Life on Friday. That's a nice way to end the week.

 

[ActStriker]

Aw crap, I can't watch this live because I'm going to a hockey game on Thursday and I have to leave the office early.

 

[jmizzal]

Its happening yay

I thought it would be the week after Bayo 2 comes out but this week nice

The day before Bayo 2 comes out does this mean Bayonetta in Smash? lol

 

[Mango The Magician]

I'm hyped, sure, but I'm also quite worried that the general directs might be dead. So...yay?
