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

 

[Karsticles]

Mewto being 40$ DLC and everyone is happy.

Okay.

I already plan to own both versions, so it's free to me.

 

[Dimmle]

But seriously

where's that Duck Hunt video

 

[Rayis]

:O
Though she looks really dark in the Wii U version. :|

Yeah, I also thought she looked a little off, but she's in and a starter so I'm still super happy!

 

[Ricky 7]

Also that Ridley part was hilarious.

 

[Soulstar]

It's on the red CD (i.e. 3DS songs).

That's good to hear. Best song in the game IMO.

 

[Teknoman]

holy crap... my internet died just in the middle of the "share" feature... I totally missed mewtwo.

btw... I didn't get the 8 players mode... is online only? or can it be played locally too?... if so... how?, I'm confused. WiiU supports 8 controllers?

Local only.

 

[AdanVC]

They went really port happy with the stages =/

Don't worry, there's EVEN more stages to unlock that didn't appear on the stream!

 

[jmizzal]

I hope but didn't sound like that from how they worded it.

They said it was free to those who own both version, they didnt say only for those who own both versions

 

[3bdelilah]

Honestly, 8-player Smash sounds much better on paper than actually seeing it. 4-player Smash was already pretty hectic, but this is ridiculous, haha. Cool as a feature though, but I'll probably won't use it a lot. Except maybe with the Big Battlefield stage, all the other stages looked hectic as SHIT with 8-players.

 

[Nesther]

This direct was absolutely amazing, I had tears in my eyes at some of those announcements.

I cannot wait for this any longer, I'll probably need to freeze myself until then.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

But seriously

where's that Duck Hunt video

Sakurai has trolled us again.

 

[Kouriozan]

Please don't tell me Smash Board game thing is local only, they already f*cked up Smash Run :-(

 

[Hatchtag]

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

 

[ffdgh]

Mewto being 40$ DLC and everyone is happy.

Okay.

But he's free and portable smash is cool.

 

[Shaanyboi]

8 player smash is going to be a fucking nightmare to keep track of

 

[Sadist]

Mewto being 40$ DLC and everyone is happy.

Okay.

Got my copy of Smash 3DS for free

I'm not even mad

 

[Timeaisis]

People are all excited for Mewtwo and all, and it was damn exciting to see him in the end, butt I'm way more excited about all that other new shit they mentioned.

 

[careksims]

OMFG!!!! That was an incredible Direct. I have no words! GOTY! I can't believe it's going to be next month! Free OST and Mewtwo!? I'm ready! So ready!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

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

Don't be an idiot.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Tourney online, pretty awesome!

 

[Dimmle]

75M?

SEVENTY-FIVE METERS?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I didn't see Tharja...

 

[TheMoon]

That stage builder looked amazing.

GamePad redeemed.

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

plus everything mirrored on the gamepad...

 

[emb]

Spainkiller redeemed I guess? Neat.

 

[zruben]

Local only.

LOL, I swear I heard "online only"

 

[Chezzymann]

The reddit thread for mewtwo has 1000 upvotes and 400 comments and it hasn't even been 10 minutes yet

 

[Esiquio]

this direct sucked ass but at least i know when to buy the game now

Get out of here with that ridiculous trolling.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Wait, what exactly can you play online? Is it just the 2-4 player fights or some of the other modes as well?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Please don't tell me Smash Board game thing is local only, they already f*cked up Smash Run :-(

You know it's going to be. You should just come to terms with it not so it doesn't hurt as much later.

 

[akidnamededdy]

MEWTWOOOOOOOO man I hope he has that sweet armor he has in Project M.

Spoiler

He won't.

 

[Korialstrasz]

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

They did 60fps 4 players full steroscopic 3D on the freaking 3DS...

 

[Hours Left]

Also, I'm more convinced than ever that Chrom will be DLC too. Lucina's trailer seemed to heavily hint at it and the fact that he's got his own icon and appears in Palutena's chats makes me think he's on the way.

 

[?oe?oe]

Ridley will be downsized for a future DLC.

At least not the Other M version lol yuck.

 

[Molemitts]

My boy (Bowser Jr.) finally got the trailer he deserves.

Also, Stage creation looks really good. A great use for the gamepad, too!

 

[Loco4Coco]

Also that WiiFitTrainer custom stage though...

 

[emb]

That stage builder looked amazing.

GamePad redeemed.

That really did look great.

 

[An-Det]

The Mewtwo dlc doesn't appear to be time-limited like the soundtrack, so picking up a cheap 3DS version in a sale later on seems like a fine option.

So much content though, goddamn. Definitely getting the digital version so it's always available to me.

 

[Leependi]

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

 

[ratcliffja]

Spainkiller redeemed I guess? Neat.

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.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Anyone else concerned that the announcer didn't mention which multiplayer modes would be available to play online?

 

[Magnus]

Damn. I misread the thread title earlier and thought that this was tomorrow. So much info!

 

[Zen_Arcade]

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

Don't be an idiot.

I need to save this so I can quote it every time someone complains about Mewtwo for the next couple months.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

That was pretty disappointing IMO. Only good things were event mode, Mewtwo, and the Jr. trailer.

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"?

 

[Hasney]

Anyone else concerned that the announcer didn't mention which multiplayer modes would be available online?

For fun, for glory and tournament.

 

[wrowa]

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

Don't be an idiot.

They sell him as part of a 40€ DLC package.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I'm so glad right now. The 3DS version was a huge letdown to me, since it felt like everything but the core-gameplay received a huge downgrade. The Wii U version on the hand looks like exactly the kind of Smash experience I'm interested in.

I'd throw the 3DS cart in the trash, but I still want that Mewtwo.

Have you registered the game on Club Nintendo? The direct made it sound like you would be sent the DLC code for both versions when they were ready.

No Subspace announced and movie section shown. I am worried its not in the game

Why would Sakurai be like "I'm not doing another SSE, You all hated playing it and just watched the FMVs on youtube" if he was going to include it.

It is gone. Also the character trailers I feel replaced it.

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

They said it was slightly lower quality. But given you're only allowed to play on giant stages with the camera zoomed out it will be hard to notice.

 

[AdanVC]

This are the Worldwide Trends on Twitter right now:

#TheHypeIsReal #WiiUSaved

 

[Alfredo]

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

 

[Bullza2o]

This Direct just made Smash Wii U my GOTY. Sakurai went well beyond expectations with so many megatons!
