If they do a special package of the game with all DLC (I refuse to use the term "Game of the Year Edition"), then that'd be a T though

Corrin is very different to every other one though...

In some ways, this makes sense though. Think of Nintendo characters as the core. They'll keep coming and keep adding to them. DLC characters as special guests. They may not return, but they're a hell of a lot of fun.

Wasn't expecting Bayonetta to be the winner of the ballot, but I'm happy. She was top in Europe and top 5 in America. If she was top in Japan, they'd have said so. We all know Jibanyan was top in Japan

They can always add more if they needed to

Retailers are stupid. It's not a Smash series amiibo. I'll be very surprised if Shovel Knight is a playable character in this game.

But the entire idea for it is to be wired for lack of latency.

Protocols for it could be included in the game

Yeah, Simon Pegg has had a major hand in writing it. I was so hyped until this news nugget about why he was writing it. http://screenrant.com/star-trek-3-beyond-script-orci-simon-pegg/ I'm very skeptical. Will have to wait and see but my hopes aren't up

Right, so less than 6 hours to go, who is everyone (other than staff and @Glen\-i)hoping for? Here are my top 4: Captain Toad Captain Toad has managed to make the Toad species interesting again (sorry Toadsworth) and with the moves from Super Mario 3D World & Captain Toad Treasure Trackers, he would make an interesting character. They'd have to make him able to jump, sure, but make him like Little Mac and be a terrible jumper. Bomberman Bomberman is an amazing character with a long history of Nintendo. While Konami are seemingly not doing games anymore, they did just put out a Bomberman mobile game and Bomberman would be the last(ish) third party character that I'd really accept in the game Hoopa Hoopa is a bit flavour of the month, but thanks to the fact it uses rings as portals, it has so much potential as a fighter, being able to call in elements etc. to do combat. Plus, its Final Smash could be it turning into Hoopa Unbound and doing this. I would say Hoopa Unbound should be the fighter, but it's Ridley levels of big. Finally, and a massive outlier. Jibanyan Yo-kai Watch is HUGE in Japan. Seriously, huge, and while its popularity there is dying down (merch sales in the summer were down 75% on last year and the anime keeps switching ratings with Pokémon rather than being ahead) and it didn't make an impact in the US, Jibanyan would be a cool option in here. It can use its Soul Link attacks very well. Personally, I'd have liked Whisper, but Whisper isn't really a fighting Yo-kai I think Inklings should wait until the next Smash. There are lots of other Nintendo characters I'd like in Smash, but let's save something for the next one, eh? Who do I think we'll see? Impossible to say. Dixie, K. Rool, Shovel Knight (urgh) are all solid choices

The newest Wii U trailer Considering arcade controls, it's very unlikely they'll be used for much

Yeah I had 4 free plays today

I think it's wired via USB. The page makes no mention of this controller needing a Wii Remote, which it would do. Wired is for removing latency. A bit redundant to wire it to a wireless device for that.

It's also better value for money than the Wii U version :p

I already miss the times in a Direct when we thought it was over, and this animation with the heartbeat came. Then you knew shit was going down

This week: Nintendo 64 Mario Tennis Nintendo DS New Super Mario Bros. GBA Onimusha Tactics

Finally got through Chapter 5's level wall. Going to level up as much as possible before I continue onwards with the story, that was a hell of a pain in the arse

Insane sounds like Nintendo to me :p

:p

There's two sticks when then bring up options on the screen. No thanks.

Agreed. Gen 3 had Grumpig Yuck

Magnet Pokémon Sludge Pokémon Egg Pokémon

Seems because it's gone international, the Japanese one will be rebranded as Nintendo Badge Arcade. There's a huge event for the 1 year anniversary next week

This week, in Japan. Bunny got confused and greeted me in English, then in Spanish Swapnote WarioWare Inc Kirby Squeak Squad Splatoon Ice Climbers The Christmas Mario made a return, too
