Wii Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Pic of the day. Here's what's happening behind the scenes in one of the secret fighter's shooting moves. The object being held is called an NES Zapper. This is an accessory which was released for the NES outside of Japan. Now, this image is edited, but it's a scene from the secret fighter's reveal video. It's Duck Hunt Dog Edited October 22, 2014 by Wii Automerged Doublepost
RedShell Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 It's so weird how that's still a spoiler, but I guess quite a lot of people are just waiting for the Wii U version. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the vid, as I love that "new" character.
FireMeowth Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Hopefully that means the other hidden newcomer will also get a trailer... The Direct is gonna be great! Also, clearing 100-Man Smash with all characters is very tedious... Luckily it doesn't take too long, but it's so boring... Can't wait to be done with this challenge. (Halfway there now...)
Wii Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Pic of the day. The giant screen in the Boxing Ring stage for Wii U reenacts the multiscreen effect seen in the arcade version of Punch-Out!! Looks like their aliases are displayed on the screen too. By the way, today, October 23rd at 3 PM PST (October 23rd 11 PM UK time, October 24th 9 AM Sydney Time, we are streaming "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza" (“Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50 Must-See Things”).

markderoos Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Wow, dat attention to detail! I love that it seems likely every fighter in the game gets his own "title" (like King of the Jungle and Bounty Hunter Extraordinaire)
Wii Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I was trying to think what some of the others titles will be: Link - Hero Of Time Peach - Mushroom Kingdom Princess Captain Falcon - F-Zero Champion Pac-man - Pill popping junkie Shulk - Wielder of the Monado Pikachu - Stupid Pokemon Kirby - Pink shape shifting hoover Sonic - Blue speed demon Wii Fit Trainer - Fitness guru Zelda - Hyrule princess Diddy Kong - Dirty stinking ape Mario - The Italian job Villager - Psychopath Little Mac - Knockout king Pikmin & Olimar - Lost in space Starfox - Intergalactic space pilot Yoshi - Mean green eating machine I'll stop now because they're awful.
Dcubed Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 That's awesome and makes me really want a VC release of the original arcade Punchout games!
Serebii Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Pic of the day. At long last, the Wii U version supports eight-player multiplayer!! It gets pretty hectic watching eight people duke it out at once. And here's a stage prepared for a large number of fighters, Big Battlefield!! Fighters can spread out, so it should be easier battling on a stage like this. Also, official site update: Edited October 24, 2014 by Serebii Automerged Doublepost
RedShell Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 The insanity of 8-Player Smash: Completely bonkers.
Blade Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 The insanity of 8-Player Smash: Completely bonkers. Does look amazing I have to say!
Serebii Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 The insanity of 8-Player Smash: Completely bonkers. Totally not going to train 7 amiibo and fight them all at once.
Ronnie Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I'm really not feeling that Mario Galaxy stage, I think it's the neon green grass and bright blue space background. Looks like a Sega visual.

Ronnie Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Looks like Mario Galaxy visuals to me :p With horrible lighting

Serebii Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 After the Smash Direct on Thursday, I have lost all interest in playing the 3DS version. Just biding my time for the Wii U one.
Guy Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yeah, I'm done with Smash 3DS too. On to the main course.
Serebii Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yeah, I'm done with Smash 3DS too. On to the main course. It's a shame because I adored the 3DS version before Thursday. Now it seems lame and empty
Guy Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 It's a shame because I adored the 3DS version before Thursday. Now it seems lame and empty I was never that keen on the handheld controls, but I recently realised I was actually getting less excited for the Wii U version after playing the 3DS all the time. I'm doing myself a massive favour by holding off for now.
f00had Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 It's a shame because I adored the 3DS version before Thursday. Now it seems lame and empty That's how I felt on the 5th of October, there really isn't a lot to do in the 3DS game if you don't play online or have friends to play with. I'm going to try and complete all the challenges before the Wii U version comes out then I can probably sell my copy, doubt I'll ever play it once I have it on Wii U.
Dcubed Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 The 3DS game has some of the best stages in the series though! And Smash Run is irreplaceable (if you have local friends to play with of course). No way could the Wii U game "replace" the 3DS one. There's far too much exclusive content here. Do you guys like never play older Mario Kart or Smash Bros games because the new hotness is out? No way! We still play stuff like Double Dash, Brawl, Mario Kart 7 and the older Mario Tennis/Golf games alongside the new ones! It's just more Smash. The Wii U game will add to the series, but not take away what the 3DS game did! You're not going to see stuff like Pacmaze or Golden Plains on the Wii U game, nor will you get stuff like Smash Run.

dazzybee Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I've been holding back since launch so it doesn't take the shine off the Wii U one, however, I think it's incredible and will play it more once the WIi U version comes, it's just a different version of it, fun in it's own way and good for travelling, at work, in bed etc
