Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

I'm very excited for Corrin. He'll be the last DLC character I'll be buying. Also plan to get his amiibo as well.

During the lead up to Fire Emblem Fates, I was eagle-eyed enough to notice that they eventually updated the boxart to have the amiibo icon. I was all ready to hunt down amiibos for Corrin and the Nohr and Hoshido royal siblings, but it turned out that FE:F only has functionality with the Smash FE amiibos. Dang.

Just hope that his amiibo is released closer to his Smash release then it was for Mewtwo. (Mewtwo came out in April, we had to wait until November to get his amiibo.)

Also, been playing Cloud. R.O.B. may have some competition on the subject of who is my main main now. Though I do wish they had gotten Steve Burton to voice Cloud, he just continues with his Japanese voice clips in the English Smash.

Congratulation Bayonetta and Platinum Games for winning the ballot. Welcome to Smash. 

I am intrigued by Corrin's playstyle or the fact that FE Fates features a Manakate. To me, it boils down to one question. Who is best Waifu? Nowi or FemCorrin?

I am a bit bummed that Simon Belmont didn't make it but since Konami is "Evil-er" than EA, He or Snake never really had a chance.

Oh well... #VaderForSmash5

Oh my god her Poster Artwork is Gorgeous~



I can't even right now <3

I'm getting yandere vibes from villager.

Check-in and security has been cleared. Now comes the waiting game.

Also. Nipples the Enchilada!

I mean it's not like they can just say.

"We'll be adding Corrin for Smash, and to reduce the number of Fire Emblem representatives we're removing Ike and Marth."

Someone on the Smash Boards was kind enough to make a list of links to the songs that were shown during the part of the direct showing off Bayonettas stage, so I figured to cross post it here for those who might be interested in sampling Bayonettas soundtrack.

I do like it a lot and play it oftenly with some friends ! It's always a lot of fun !

Hmm? Hold on a second.

In the broadcast, Sakurai said we'd be playing as Corrin before his game releases, and Fates releases on the 19th of February. Yet the wording Nintendo gave on Twitter regarding Bayonetta would imply that she'll still be unreleased for Smash by the time Fire Emblem Fates gets released.

I had assumed that Corrin and Bayonetta would be released at the same time, but this suggests that Bayonetta won't be available for download until after Fates' release, thus meaning they'll be released at two separate points in time. Either that or they had to push back the release date for the DLC a bit.

Man, and I had been hoping for a February 2nd release for both characters. It would mean that Bayonetta gets into Smash on Platinum's 10th anniversary, and Corrin would convinently also be released at the same time.

This FFVI fan and Terra fan shall be crying salty tears into his pillow tonight.

Really, it may be hype backlash to a degree on my part, but I never found Cloud all that remarkable. He's one of FF's better protagonists, ( I consider him better then Luneth/Onion Knight, Cecil, Bartz, Zidane, Tidus, Vaan, and Lightning, but worse then Warrior of Light, Firion, Terra, and Squall.) but not the one I'd get hyped for. I'll grant that he's a blast in Smash and has become my off-main (Robin is my overall main), just not my FF pick.

I'd have done cartwheels of joy if we got Terra or Squall.

SSB4-NX's Exclusive Mode, if this is true, will hopefully be Story Mode.

SSB4-3DS has the knock off Adventure Mode, SSB4-WiiU has a Board Game no one plays. If SSB4-NX is going to have a console exclusive mode, I'm hoping its the return of Story Mode. Because really there would be no point in getting it since it'd just likely be a shiny port of the Wii U version with all the DLC at once. In this generation of Smash I only intended to get the 3DS version, due to Smash run, and was planning on not getting the WiiU version due to lack of a single player mode that doesn't just mimic the multi-player mode with restrictive rule sets. I only got the Wii U version soly because my 3DS was broken and I had to save up for a new 3DS, and was able to find a copy of SSB4 for under 20 bucks at GameStop.

Yes, Brawls story mode was nonsensical and didn't make much sense, but at least it was a fun side scrolling adventure that let you explore areas, find hidden rooms, solve puzzles, and take down huge bosses outside of stage boss fights. I really miss being able to do this, and while it is true I can go back and replay the story in Brawl when ever I want, I would be restricted to the games smaller roster, not to mention the slower game play mechanics, and poor game performance.

If Sakurai is worried about people uploading cutscenes onto YouTube, then he needs a reality check. People do this with all games with over arching storylines, and removing a story mode from ANY game franchise simply because "I don't like they put the cutscenes on Youtube" is just asinine and infantile. Instead of the high quality graphic cinematics they did in Brawl, just use the games in-game graphics for real-time cutscenes with the characters game models. It would definitely make the game funner if players could have their costume choices show up during these things.

Also, if SSB4-NX has all the DLC made available from the beginning, then that means they could include all the characters in the story.

As of now, if the SSB4-NX rumor is true, I have no plans to get it. Not unless it offers a mode that would give gamers a worth while single player experience, one that doesn't just mimick Multiplayer modes with set rules *cougheventmodecough*, because otherwise I'm not buying this game a third time.

Heads up: Corrin and Bayonetta are now live. I just finished buying Corrin and Smash is doing its system update now. (7 more minutes to go.)

Altogether, for Smash DLC, I didn't buy Lucas or Bayonetta, didn't buy most of the DLC stages, (though I did get the Midgar and Japanese castle stage, since they came with Cloud and Ryu), and bought only one pack of Mii parts. (Only because my 'I don't buy cosmetic DLC' rule unfortunately waned when I saw that Black Knight outfit, hehe.)

Still, Smash 4 is now complete for me as far as I'm concerned. If and when we get a Smash 5, expect me to be championing the Inklings, Elma, and Linkle getting into the game.

New rumors say that smash will be a launch title for nx, curious what that will end up being

SSB4-3DS has Smash Run, SSB4-Wii U has Smash Tour

My hope is that SSB4-NX will have a Story Mode, or at the very least an Adventure Mode. Because I am not buying this game a 3rd time without a decent single player mode, one that doesn't just mimic the standard multi player fights with limited rules/restrictions. Smash Run is nice, but the lack of multiple different environments and boss fights makes it just as repetitive and boring as melees adventure mode.

If they don't do a story mode, at least make an adventure mode that features an over world map like SSE from Brawl, with multiple different areas and unique boss fights at the end of them. One of the things i loved about SSE in Brawl was that it had a very Metroidvania feel to me. There was a straight forward path first time playing through a stage, but you could go back after beating the story and re-play stages with different characters, allowing you to access areas you couldn't before (one example being a vertical tunnel in an early mario/pit stage which could only be accessed by someone who could wall jump)

At the very least give us that type of variety in an adventure mode.
