Hey guys, do you know if the regular wii remote (not the plus version) will work on Smash 4 Wii U?

Just heard 9 am PST too, is that a thing?
Not sure what time. I just heard shit gets real on the 19th.
I would have a fucking midterm on the 20th worth 50% of my mark...

So the triggers are like the original GC ones? That's interesting they could be different than the white controller, I expected the Smash ones to basically be those with different paint.

Someone can figure out whether or not Ray, Isaac, and Drill Dozer have Assist Trophies or even just trophies in the game.
Now that Golden Sun has a second music track represented may or may not mean something.

I said wow
Hatchtag, I hope you find your cat! My cat means so much to me, and I can't even bear the thought of losing him, so I understand how stressful that must be for you. 
Well, it wasn't really by choice, per se. He and I just realized that we didn't have much of a future together for a number of reasons.
Yeah, it was a mutual split--"irreconcilable differences," as they say in the legal world.
Very perceptive of you.
Moonside is brilliant, isn't it? I remember the first time I experienced that trippy wonderland. I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the game!

The Moonside suggestion hurts.
Hopefully that's just mentioned to throw us off the trail. We're onto your game, Lunar.
I just went through Moonside for the first time last night though. Definitely a high point of Earthbound so far. Another highlight:.getting teleport and seeing Ness run really fast like he does in the Melee intro

And yeah, the teleport was pretty eye-opening for me, too, since I was finally able to understand what the intro in Melee was about, haha.

Considering we've now had Rob in two games with no stage to call his own, combined with Marth/Roy not having one in Melee, I could very well see a Ray/Isaac/Drill Dozer DLC as just a character with no home stage and their home stage is just the closest thematic level or wherever Sakurai randomly decides to send them.
The whole area was wonderfully done! Once I got there I was leaning forward in my seat, just staring in awe, like an excited kid, until I was done. It was pretty unexpected all around for me.

I love playing this game and seeing the origin of things that are in Smash Bros... but I can't imagine how great it must have been for the ones that already appreciated Earthbound, who got to see all the things referenced and re-imagined in Smash. Though, I still don't see how they ended up with Ness's moveset. Seems like he doesn't use half the moves he has in Smash, lol.
Also why does smash call them PK instead of PSI? Localization difference?

I'd be interested in seeing some footage of Master Fortress - how long it usually lasts, if the layout changes, and if all the Smash Run enemies made the transition.
That's not quite true - ROB had two stages in Brawl. It's just that Mario Circuit and Port Town are intended to represent Adult Timeline ROB rather than Downfall Timeline ROB.

Yeah it's weird. One of the move is PSI Magnet, so the rest should really be PSI Fire <greek letter>, etc.

The original distinction in Mother 2 was that PK was offensive and PSI was defensive. So it's supposed to be PK Fire, PK Thunder, PK Flash, etc. But it's also PSI Magnet, PSI Teleport, etc.
EarthBound just localized them all as PSI.

Woke up this morning with a strong urge to play Mother 3 on a handheld.

This is completely possible. Mother 3 in English has been manufactured onto cartridges by Retro Quest. They work perfectly and look excellent.
That actually happened. They got announced a few days ago. All they do is punch and kick the air. They're terrible characters. If you manage to get hit by them its your fault.

Those are some pretty sweet designs. A bit large for some people's tastes I'd imagine, but I love the use of the Sonic hazards (the lighting and fire in Scrap Brain, the bumpers and elevator, etc. in Casino Night). A casino-themed Sonic level would be amazing.
Yeah, with Casino Night I was going for a new 8-player Temple
Also there's so much good shit in that zone...I don't get it. They're pretty evenly matched. I thought you were going to show us Mario doing something badass.
It is a lot. But it also has 13 Brawl stages and the only 64 stage is not noteworthy...

Ah that explains a lot.
The trophy info especially for Star Man makes it annoying. So it should be PK Thunder Alpha rather than PSI Thunder Alpha?

I really don't get the love affair with Fountain of Dreams, yeah it's a pretty stage but in the end it's basically just battlefield with platforms that occasionally lower... yay? There are far more interesting to fight on retro stages I'd want to see return like Hyrule Castle N64, Saffron City N64, Big Blue Melee/Brawl, Brinstar Depths Melee, Fourside Melee, Great Bay Melee, and Pokefloats Melee off the top of my head. Heck with 8 player Smash I'd be down for New Pork City to return if they add Lucas as DLC down the line.

Fountain of Dreams has IMO the best track in Melee
Oh shit so you're saying the triggers are more like the original models?? That's the best news I've heard about them so far! Awesome.
Boss Doggie

Honestly I prefer Dreamland 64 over Fountain of Dreams. That stage was the GOAT, FoD was boring.

I want Great Bay to come back timed with the release of Majora 3D. Do it Samurai, please.

I love it because it exemplifies one of my favorite things about Smash Bros. stages; It's a pretty amazing looking re-imagining of a location from a game where that level of detail wouldn't be possible. Yeah, the platform layout is simplistic, but so what? It looks great and has fantastic music. That's all I really ask for in a Smash Bros. stage.
Neither are terribly complex stages, but if one had to be brought back, I'd pick Fountain of Dreams for the aesthetics alone. Even if it only received an upgrade on par with Temple (primarily limited to textures and lighting) it'd look stunning; while a mostly-unaltered Dreamland is much less appealing.
I'm surprised Green Greens wasn't in either version - it had already been converted for Brawl, and both versions lack a 'standard' Kirby stage.
Boss Doggie

But it doesn't really represent fountain of dreams. It pretty much has the same complaints people have in new stages like in Skyloft where "we don't really fight in the game stage but rather on a platform showing them".
I wouldn't say that applies to Fountain of Dreams, seeing as the main platform is the fountain itself.
It's been resized compared to the original and to fit the 'floating island' format, but the stage still uses it as an integral part of its structure rather than just a background.
And while that complaint is justified for some stages (N64 Peach's Castle, New Pork City, Norfair), I'm not sure how it applies to traveling stages like Skyloft, Port Town and Delfino. The transitional platforms themselves could perhaps be given a design more in line with the source material, but a large portion of gameplay in those stages is occurring directly on the original landmass.

I'm really not sure. It hasn't stopped hundreds and hundreds of people from buying them. I have one, they made English manuals and boxes and everything. I think it has to do with there being no intent on bringing the game to America.
Fans asked and asked and begged and begged for years. When it was clear Nintendo wasn't bringing Mother 3 over, fans did it themselves.
Maybe they got in trouble though, because I just noticed they're no longer for sale on the website and eBay isn't turning much up. They were plentiful last year. My friends and I all bought copies.
It should. But technically PSI Thunder is how it was localized in the United States. Continuing to adhere to that translation is continuing to be wrong, though. Especially since they've acknowledged that it was supposed to be Porky, not Pokey.

Flat Zone 2 to be the ender of hopes once more and what a crummy stage to finish on.
Flippin' Lion Tamers.
I'd say that having two new ones on 3DS is what limited it to just one new stage on Wii U but there's little use in trying to figure out any sort of logic to dealing out stages across both versions of the game, really it's just a mess, at least Zelda netted 3 new ones across the board with some past stages as well.I refuse to believe Skyloft is the only new Zelda stage when 3DS had both Spirit Train and Gerudo Valley.
I mean they could just reuse Gerudo Valley seeing as OoT is a console game too
I miss Melee giving all starter series 2 stages each, that felt right and balanced.
Well you are on the fountain, meanwhile the NES game has the fountain in the background as you fight on some slab of land so if anything its the other way around to the usual complaint. (Golnei stealing my thunder with pictures, I can't compete!)
I'd like the stage more if it were a bit bigger, four players on this one is cramped, same with Green Greens for that matter, Dreamland 64 has all the extra space I crave.
lol that is perfect. I can't believe I never seen this whole video. I sadly do not have a WiiU yet but you never know with the Holidays coming.
That actually happened. They got announced a few days ago. All they do is punch and kick the air. They're terrible characters. If you manage to get hit by them its your fault.
That is until they use their Final Smashes.
Can't believe we'll be playing Smash Wii U this time next week. Think I'll dl the new Project M so I can get used to jumping with buttons on a GCN controller again.
Also with less than a week left, Smash 3DS is 15 hours away from passing Bravely Default as my most played 3DS game.

Glad to hear, as I had the same thoughts as you! Say, without going in details, any particularly ingenious or neat Omega versions of stages you came across? Loved Onett's way to handle it.
Honestly, I haven't done too many. Coliseum's is interesting because it acts as if the platform you're fighting on are the same ones that raised in the non-omega version. Hard to explain, but basically, you can see the mechanics of how the Coliseum accommodates both omega and non-omega forms. I felt that was kind of cool attention to detail. It's still an incredibly boring and generic stage for Fire Emblem, though.
Honestly, the stage selection is incredibly disappointing. Omega versions are too boring for my tastes, but as a result the non-omegas are too gimmicky. I'd prefer more levels that were just a balance. Gameplay aside, a lot of them suffer from being too generic when there should be an endless number of possibilities in Nintendo's library of diverse locales. None of the stages really excite me.
People may disagree, but I'd be fine with less stages as long as they were all very detailed, lively, and balanced. I'm fine with having your crazy gimmicky stages, as long as you have a decent number of non-gimmicky stages.
