Support NeoGAF

[Hale-XF11]

For fun, for glory and tournament.

I guess I didn't catch that, thanks.

 

[powerdrain]

Show of hands, who still this Ridley will be a playable character? I do.

 

[Lunar15]

Being able to host tournaments will be great for GAF.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Seriously, can someone explain how 1080p 60fps 8 players...is possible?

Nintendo black magic is the best possible answer sakurai knows how to get the best out of the hardware he is working on.

 

[kunonabi]

Seriously, can someone explain how 1080p 60fps 8 players...is possible?

No black bars either and plenty of female characters too.

 

[Dimmle]

That two plane stage and the stage builder mode really exceeded my expectations.

 

[Kinsei]

Fuck me, some people will piss and whine about anything.

Donkey Kong stage with 2 planes, tournaments, a vastly improved stage builder, Master/Crazy Orders, Event Mode, etc aren't "good things"?

8-player simultaneous play isn't a "good thing"?

I had event mode in my list of good things.

Stage builder, tournament mode, 8-player smash, and special/crazy orders don't interest me at all.

 

[SmackAttack]

Nintendo Magic.

 

[EloquentM]

They're not going to make a character and put him out as DLC and then not sell him.

Don't be an idiot.

Asking for too much.

 

[Cody_D165]

i was not prepared for this

as soon as i saw the mewtwo polygon i think i died

i only remember heavy breathing and mashing my keyboard into a bunch of my friends' Skype IMs

 

[BassForever]

Nintendo tweeted "register both versions during a promotional time period to get free mewtwo dlc" going to assume if you miss that time period you'll have to buy him

 

[Hours Left]

They name dropped Snake. It probably doesn't mean anything, but it still makes me happy.

Yeah, lots of DLC character hinting IMO.

 

[Hasney]

I guess I didn't catch that, thanks.

Yeah, he never came out and explicitly said it like that annoyingly. I caught that from the menus and from what he was talking about tournaments as that won't be available at launch.

 

[CrazyDude]

I don't even know what happened I was laughing too hard at that amazing announcer.

His voice is similar to the narrator of the goofy shorts.

[HawthorneKitty]

You could already have like 6 through Multiman Smash in 3DS, no?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Remember when if you bought Mario Kart 8, you got a game for free and then they never sold that game anywhere ever after that

I miss Pikmin 3

I hope Nintendo lets stores sell it again

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Mewto being 40$ DLC and everyone is happy.

Okay.

Yeah, it's not like don't get the 3DS version of Smash Bros or anything. $40, for just Mewtoo.

 

[Kouriozan]

I want Lucas DLC, can I buy an amiibo for him too please.

 

[Neo Dark]

His voice is similar to the narrator of the goofy shorts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfUHjx7-kr8

Wow he does. I still don't get why they switch the announcer's voice for every new game though

Also... trending on twitter

Yeah, it's not like don't get the 3DS version of Smash Bros or anything. $40, for just Mewtoo.

Also a soundtrack as well.

 

[Teknoman]

I had event mode in my list of good things.

Stage builder, tournament mode, 8-player smash, and special/crazy orders don't interest me at all.

That tournament mode is a pretty big damn deal for the game though.

 

[Divvy]

Oh there is an amiibo youtube thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3c_JDDp99k

Lol what the fuck

This sitcom writing

 

[Chezzymann]

Mewto being 40$ DLC and everyone is happy.

Okay.

From the way its worded Mewtwo will be free if you register both, but if you don't, you'll probably just pay a small DLC price on either version.

 

[Azuran]

Mewto being 40$ DLC and everyone is happy.

Okay.

Most of us already have the 3DS game and actually play it. Now why would we be sad?

 

[AvoidDaNoid]

Local only.

No. They said 8 player Smash was online

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Remember when if you bought Mario Kart 8, you got a game for free and then they never sold that game anywhere ever after that

I miss Pikmin 3

Genuinely laughed. Nice one.

 

[AdanVC]

Holy shit there's like 5 Smash Bros Wii U related trends on the Worldwide Trending Topic on Twitter!! #WiiUSaved

 

[SweetDonuts]

Online tournaments are gonna be soooo good I can't wait. I wasn't even expecting that much from the direct but it delivered and more

 

[Grexeno]

What Mewtwo is: DLC that will be free if you register both versions of the game within a promotional period. If you don't have both versions of the game or miss the promotional period, he is paid DLC.

What Mewtwo is not: Character that requires both versions to even obtain in the first place.

 

[HyperHip]

Hopefully there is another way to get Mewtwo, cuz I ain't paying 40 bucks for a US copy.

 

[Sadist]

Well this was awesome.

Back to Bayo I go!

 

[BGBW]

Best reference in the whole thing

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Maybe it's the same guy? They sound so similar.

lmao

 

[phanphare]

you know I gotta say

having 8-player smash makes amiibos make a lot more sense

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Can I say how much I freaking love the american announcer?

Now im pretty sad of our unprofessional NoE german worker trying to get a gig in spanish dubbing, fuck him and fuck anyone in Nintendo Iberia who thought it was passable.

 

[Molemitts]

Some of this stuff, like tournaments, should have just been in the 3DS version, though.

Obviously, there's loads that couldn't be on 3DS for technical reason, of course.

 

[Durden77]

They name dropped Snake. It probably doesn't mean anything, but it still makes me happy.

I dunno it kinda just bothered me. With Mewtwo not being until spring I'm not sure how many DLC characters we're going to be seeing. He might even be the only one.

 

[danielcw]

Have you never seen any 1080p60 game have 8 characters on screen?

In the end it is just a bunch of polygons, and the Wii U has the power to push them.
Also the combinations of environments and camera angles are well know, so compared to 3D games with a free camera it is easy to optimize, if needed.

 

[Codeblue]

Untailored world wide trends.

The people want Ice Climbers.

 

[Crazy_maniac]

Are the soundtrack cd's also for EU club nintendo members?

 

[Majukun]

No. They said 8 player Smash was online

they did?

 

[AdanVC]

Pon pon pon way way, pon pon way pon pon way way.

 

[Neoxon]

So, Spainkiller's source mentioning 4 moving models. Let's see how that's going.

- Ridley: Boss
- Mewtwo: DLC
- Chorus Kids: ?
- Dixie Kong: ?

You know what that means, guys...

 

[emb]

Ridley confirmed.

If I had been shown that image a few months ago, I would have probably BELIEVEd. Even when everyone would have been logical enough to guess that it was a boss KO.

No way. He said Mewtwo was in the game already, but he's apparently nowhere near complete. Ridley isn't playable. No mention of Chorus Kids or Dixie. His leak got 1 lucky guess.

Oh yeah, you're right. Good, that confirms what I was expecting earlier.

 

[Hasney]

Are the soundtrack cd's also for EU club nintendo members?

Don't know. If someone who was watching the EU stream could confirm, plz do.

 

[Celegus]

No. They said 8 player Smash was online

I thought it said "sorry, this won't be available online".

 

[Teknoman]

8p Smash is not online.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Only way to get Mewtwo dlc is if you KO Ridley in both the 3ds and WiiU version.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

So, Spainkiller's ource mentioning 4 moving models. Let's see how that's going.

- Ridley: Boss
- Mewtwo: DLC
- Chorus Kids: ?
- Dixie Kong: ?

You know what that means, guys...

Aww yeah, animated trophies

Stage backgrounds like Silver and Knuckles in Brawl?
