Gaming Super Smash Bros Nintendo Direct 4/8/2014

Oh My god I cried from laughing when i came home ad saw the release dates. How often can Nintendo Shoot themselves in the foot with Game releases? Theyve gotta be running out of toes by now

 

[Jiehfeng]

I'm freakin Hyped!!!

I mean, not that I care about Wii U's current state but wouldn't this move hurt the Wii U version sales?

 

[Apex]

This is just speculation based on the trailer: Greninja looks like a clone of Lucario. The water shuriken-ish move looks like a charge up attack similar to Lucario/Mewtwo's charge up blast, and the counter attack where he replaces himself with some pokemon I don't recognize looks like Lucario's down-b counter move.

Remember, I'm just speculating. One of my biggest wishes for this game was for the reworking of clone characters. I don't care if you agree with me, but when I see them potentially showing off a new character as a clone, it saddens me a little.

Yeah with the 3DS version out this summer, I feel that it's going to hinder the Wii U version sales by a bit. Hoping that they'll try to release the Wii U version earlier but who knows, maybe it needs that extra polish time

I think he replaces himself with the Substitute like in Pokemon X and Y.

Did Sakuri say some time ago that the Wii U version would have a lot more content than the 3DS version? IMO, the 3DS version releasing first is more of an appetizer prior to the main course.

You mean a presentation of *one* game? That's a bit underwhelming...

So was the last one, too much on the 3DS

 

[Anakir]

I like the idea of removing transformation from gameplay and upB tethers but there are still many things about this iteration that turns me off like Brawl did.

 

[Terenigma]

Ok just woke up and watched the whole thing, iv done a quick list of pros and cons that stand out to me:

Pros:
- Greninja is awesome! I assume he will have a very shiek-like moveset with some larger looking projectiles. Im totally on board with that and may main him early.
- New items all look fantastic.
- The different final destination style levels are great
- The online monitoring and bans for players who abuse in various ways. Brawl taunt matches are hopefully a thing of the past thank GOD.
- Zelda's new attack.
- Customizing moves for offline only.
- 3DS version out in summer, not long to wait!

Cons:
- Little mac being ground-based means he WILL be spammed on the "glory" online mode since the level will require very little jumping and air combat.
- Rosalina still looks far too powerful with far too many moves for crowd control and item control. Her recovery looks strong too.
- Charizard filling one of the pokemon slots, i know he's popular but i can think of like 50 pokemon that i would rather have in the game
- Olimar looks nerfed
- Since Ness is still not confirmed, im pretty sure Lucas isnt in the game (My main on Brawl)
- Wii-u version out later (The version i want) but im not going to wait for it since i also own a 3DS and im not buying both.

Is it safe to assume that there are still yet to be revealed characters? I'd think so since we're missing Ness and Captain Falcon.

 

[slingblade1170]

Well I gotta say Nintendo probably got me buying both versions by releasing them so far apart. Hats off to ya Nintendo.

 

[Duo8]

Is Nintendo turning into Microsoft? Making weird decisions...

Did Sakuri say some time ago that the Wii U version would have a lot more content than the 3DS version? IMO, the 3DS version releasing first is more of an appetizer prior to the main course.

Then the Wii U version must be FAR better than the 3DS version to give people enough incentive.

Ness, Jigglypuff and Captain Falcon are the 3 from the original N64 game that haven't been confirmed yet. I expect to see all of them in the finished game.

There'll be more at E3.

I assume by "Summer 2014" (Winter in Australia) that Nintendo mean 'right at the end of August'.

 

[Bladexdsl]

the wiiu stages look fucking gorgeous! fuck the 3ds i know what version i want. and my wiiu lan adapter IS ready! have a few cons though:

• Disappointed you can't use custom rules etc when playing random battles that will be the main mode i will be using. i don't want to play with all the items especially the ones that KO you in one shot.
• No online ranking WTF...??
• why no smash run on the wiiu??

For the 3DS version, yes, the Wii U version will likely be a Christmas or Thanksgiving-targeted release. I'm sure we'll see the rest of them at E3

That last one, yeah, pretty f***ing retarded not to have that in the Wii U version, hate to say it, but I couldn't give two shits about the 3DS version lol They'd better have a compensating feature to make up for it.

 

[Bladexdsl]

also megaman looks way too overpowered with fucking abilities!

 

[DJPlace]

not bad... wish they would of took a dive for cross play risk. still not enough roster leak yet...

Well i guess it would hurt more to release both versions at the same time

That was exactly what I thought as well! My guess is that they seperated the release for double dippers and they gave the Wii U a winter release because it's the holiday season.
Though, I'm sure the Wii U version will have some sort of extra mode like Smash Run, otherwise it's just another reason to pick the 3DS version over the Wii U.
