Support NeoGAF

[Wiz]

Do yall think they really release a demo for Wii U?? With no GC controller support? Hmm...

 

[E-phonk]

ok - ready for this. Hoping for some additional game modes, dlc, amiibo goodness and some crazy last-minute character/stage reveals.

 

[Silver_DNA]

I just got out of work... but I have to go to my second job... At least the Direct will be waiting for me when I get back.

 

[SuperSah]

Hoping for 3DS DLC, new 3DS modes, and hopefully a patch for some niggles.

Spoiler

jkjk, i'm pretty excited to see what U version has to offer

 

[J@hranimo]

I have a feeling that the DK stage in this game is also a 8-Player Smash stage.

 

[Mistle]

I'm very excited to hear about the Wii U exclusive things, but if anyone is expecting a "megaton" of DLC or new characters, I have a feeling you'll be very disappointed.

Roster looks very final to me, and if there is DLC it's not going to get announced before the game is even out.

I'm kind of just bracing myself for a shitty aftermath..

 

[jorgejjvr]

With this and bayo, the time to buy a wii u is NOW

 

[Matt Attack]

I'm not getting too hyped for this because I don't want to get disappointed, but I am still pretty excited. Just seeing how good everything looks on Wii U compared to 3DS should be nice.

 

[Zalman]

Unleash the #truepotential of Smash Bros.

 

[Gino]

Getting hyped! First time showing wii u video since 3ds smash came out. There are sure to be some cool suprizes.

 

[shaowebb]

Me: "THE FINAL HOUR IS UPON US. THE SUN BLEEDS IN THE SKY AND THE PROPHECY OF 50 IS UPON US!"

Wife: O_O *maracca shaking intensifies*

35 minutes remain...

 

[Mariolee]

Anyone have English youtube link?

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

There's a whole video of it

10 minutes of my life I could not possibly have spent better

 

[MrSaturn99]

This man gets it. Bramble Blast, Returns Sunset Stage, Grassland Groove, or Seashore War. Take your pick, Sakurai, they're all winners.

You're going to get another jungle/waterfall stage, and you're going to like it.

The JP stream is "up".

EDIT: And pleb not youtube flash stream from NintendoUK is also up:

[WiiRevolution1]

How is that not interesting though

Only new characters will be exciting. This is always the correct answer.

Bring on Mewtwo, Ridley, Dixie, and Chorus Kids! Spainkiller you better not have lied! D:

 

[Rösti]

Do yall think they really release a demo for Wii U?? With no GC controller support? Hmm...

A demo doesn't need all features of the full game. I'd gladly play a demo if it had support only for Wii Remote even.

 

[jorgejjvr]

35 mins in length

 

[Dr. Buni]

Only new characters will be exciting. This is always the correct answer.

Bring on Mewtwo, Ridley, Dixie, and Chorus Kids! Spainkiller you better not have lied! D:

Remove Mewtwo from the list then, since it is not a new character

 

[SalvaPot]

I'm getting all giddy with excitement.

The North American YouTube stream is up.

 

[Zalman]

can't believe people are legitimately getting their hopes up for more characters

 

[OricWindstar]

You're going to get another jungle/waterfall stage, and you're going to like it.

After Brawl, I'll take any DK stage that's remotely playable.

 

[3bdelilah]

30 minutes left, hold meeee GAF

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I have a feeling that the DK stage in this game is also a 8-Player Smash stage.

Yeah, I can imagine a huge DK Island Stage that mixes in all the elements of Returns.

 

[Kouriozan]

Come on Break the Target, Event mode(s) and improved Stage Builder 2.0

 

[SalvaPot]

Youtube Stream title now says its an Extravaganza, get Extra hype GAF!

 

[StreetsAhead]

Japanese stream says it'll be 'around' 30 minutes long.

 

[Mistle]

can't believe people are legitimately getting their hopes up for more characters

Yeah, I almost can't take this thread right now, I'm not ready for the flood of disappointment.

 

[Volotaire]

I wonder if the Twitch version of the feed will include 60FPS direct feed footage of the game.

 

[JB2448]

Not only is the YouTube stream up in North America, it's what Nintendo's using on its website (which has a nice background design now).

 

[IntelliHeath]

Just got home from work. Removed pants immediately. Put on my Captain Falcon mask.

Wife: "Is it that time?"
Me: "NO WIFE. NOT YET...BUT SOON."
*grabs a chain, a Padlock, and our Wii U*
Wife: *looks at me and nods as I padlock the Wii U to my genitals with a chain*
ME: "WHEN THE HYPE IS AT ITS FULLEST THE PROPHECY OF 50 SHALL COME TO PASS AND THE SUN WILL ECLIPSE AND I WILL BREAK THESE CHAINS WITH MY FALCON HYPE."

...and so I wait Gaf...so I wait. The wife is holding maraccas to sound the coming of THE PROPHET.

#bringingthehype

When I bring the hype I bring the hype.

wow, you are definitely unmatched for hype in this thread. No one would dare to touch right there. You win.

 

[Kouichi]

35 minutes of pure Smash goodness. Can't wait.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

There wont be anything interesting. Just explaining of Modes and some stages.

Thats it.

No DLC and no Ridley.

This is what will happen and as a Ridley fan I will hold back my tears while silently cursing Sakurai.

 

[OricWindstar]

30 minutes left, hold meeee GAF

 

[Kouriozan]

Are you ready to see Smash "true potential"?

 

[Axass]

Wouldn't it be great if the Smash hype never ended? I'm almost sad the definitive version's about to release.

I hope they're planning a massive amount of DLC, having a game such as Smash keep selling throughout the system's last years would be great for them. Bring on that DLC Nintendo!

 

[OricWindstar]

Are you ready to see Smash "true potential"?

If that means a item frequency toggle, then yes!

 

[Kouriozan]

If that means a item frequency toggle, then yes!

I really want that back too!
Pokéball/Bob-bomb at very high, everything left at 0, chaos ensues.

 

[SuperSah]

Even though I only own 3DS, this is exciting.

I can't wait to see DHG's reveal trailer, lol.

 

[Mariolee]

can't believe people are legitimately getting their hopes up for more characters

I can feel it in my bones.

 

[Kriken]

25 minutes remaining

 

[BY2K]

Watch them announce a Wii U Bundle for Smash.

With a price cut.

 

[OricWindstar]

I really want that back too!
Pokéball/Bob-bomb at very high, everything left at 0, chaos ensues.

That's one reason. Other reason is I like to play with items on low generally, so with the 3DS version I've just had items off.

 

[Kouriozan]

Hoping that the reveal trailers will be in the Wii U version, too.

Thanks for this. Their YouTube streams work better for me than their Twitch ones and was hoping one would go up before it started.

 

[ratcliffja]

Honestly I'd be happy if they even mention that there WILL be DLC even if they don't mention any other details. If they don't even mention DLC, it's very unlikely we'll be getting any.

 

[PreyingShark]

Are you ready to see Smash "true potential"?

"We have decided to remove Charizard from the game to add in Ash Ketchum, who will fight using his bare hands because he don't need no stinkin' Pokemon with those biceps."

 

[Majukun]

wondering how the board game mode will work...

 

[stan423321]

What a moment to post first my message here.

Are there any chances for subs on UK stream, like with the April one? My "English hearing" is horrible.
