Wii U thread hit autosage and I can't find the (3)DS thread, so Nintendo General. Wii U thread: >>166771

>Madden NFL 25 Will Not Come to Wii U
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/02/madden-nfl-25-will-not-come-to-wii-u
While I have 0 interest in sports games, they're a pretty big part of consoles; that the Wii U won't see an entry for this year is going to be a big hit for Nintendo trying to expand interest in the platform. I would have thought the GamePad would have been an excellent input device for it, too, for things like plays and so forth. Maybe EA is just being lazy and don't see enough return from a Wii U version, considering the work they'd have to do with the Gamepad instead of just saying Square->A?

>Nintendo Tells Wii Owners That Wii U is ‘Not Just an Upgrade’
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/01/nintendo-tells-wii-owners-that-wii-u-is-not-just-an-upgrade
lololol. They sent a message to the Wii mail system to try to convince Wii owners to get a Wii U. Still missing the point. I haven't fired my Wii up in a few months despite getting new games for it, perhaps I should just to see this message.

Man, like there's not over 2 billion pieces of porn of Princess Peach. Or Samus, for that matter. If anything, they've been pushing Zero Suit Samus more since the porn for her exploded.

I think this idea that companies stop using a character who shows up in porn a lot is a myth, unless the character is also unpopular. Especially from a Japanese company, where they know full well how much money there is to be made off of horny otaku.

It's a total rumor. There's no confirmation at all from anywhere aside from Anonymous school yard tale tellers that Erin Esurance was shelved because of pornographic parodies. She was a temporary animated mascot with a super spy/secret agent motif, and she did her part in several commercials. Aside from Geico, no big insurance company has a serious long standing mascot. Flo might join that soon though, she's been a constant for a while now.

Anyways, Krystal wouldn't be any different from Fox but for tits.
I think the ideal would be either be Fox and Wolf for a villain representation (more important than waifu rep) with their current playstyles of similar Bs but drastic differences otherwise or Fox and Krystal with no similarities at all, but not more than two SF reps. It's not that strong of a series lately.

Megaman must have been a difficult inclusion. When they add a character like this, they look to make great effort to make sure they're characteristic of their real series counterparts. That they move the same, feel the same, sound the same.
Breaking down Megaman's trailer next post. This one seems long enough.

I want my main in Melee back; but how badly do I REALLY want him?

In any case I hope they clip some of the chaff that was in Brawl.
Also Glad to see that Pit might now be an annoying dick prickler to deal with.

>Anyways, Krystal wouldn't be any different from Fox but for tits.

Next time read the rest of the post. Yes he's retarded for saying that Krystal is just Fox with tits and waifu bait; but he goes on to at least admit she has the capability for a different move set.

There's a lot of characters they could add to SSBU; and spoiling WiiFitness Trainer this early opened up the speculation floodgates (as intended obviously).
We have a year to go before it gets here; so until then calm your tits and get ready for disappointment like the rest of us.

(Whoops, posted wrong image.) So if you missed it, A Link to the Past 2 is now called "A Link Between Worlds". What I find interesting is that the logo features an upside down Triforce.

Initially, this just seems like a Light World/Dark World thing. EXCEPT that I remembered the boss battle against Demise in Skyward Sword: His sword Ghirahim had an upside down, darkly-colored Triforce on it: http://www.zeldadungeon.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/zelda_skyward_sword_art-33.jpg

Could Demise have a connection to the new game? In addition, the Dark World vanished at the end of Link to the Past, so what is the other World involved? Finally, the end of LttP has "And the Master Sword sleeps again, FOREVER!", so is he just using a generic sword? Retcon?

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii …youtube thumb
Link so you don't have to go searching.

30 Seconds: We see his entrance. Mario comes up out of his pipe, DK bursts from his barrel, and Megaman ports down in classic stage begin fashion.

Next up is his movement. He runs at 3/4ths view, like in his classic games and his walk cycle looks similar. When he shoots he curls his other arm up towards his chest as well.
>NOTES: When he's facing left does his shooting arm change like a sprite switch? Can he only have three lemons on the screen at once?

Next, he's jumping and sliding, and both retain the quirky style of the original games. It reminds me of Arthur in MvC3. When they put him in, they made absolutely sure that his jumping and running and unique control methods were translated. This made him a shit tier character, but hey, tiers are for queers.

He roll dodges a couple times, dodges Bowser into the background, and then dodges Samus with a different dodge animation and proceeds to Shoryuken Samus in the ass. This isn't something he can do until X, but it's a great nod and good move choice if it serves well as a recovery as his ^B as I'm assuming it is.
>NOTES: Why does Megaman have two dodges? The first one is Shield and Down presumably, and then the second one is a swift duck which would only make sense as a move or as a Shield and Down dodge too. What's up? There's a Life Meter on Megaman's Mega Buster here, does it go up and down as his damage accrues and gets healed?

Next is Rush and the Charged Mega Buster. This looks a bit disappointing. It's like Samus' cannon more than the Mega Buster. Charging should have resulted in the telltale glowing particles and sound, not a shaky ball of energy outside the gun. Rush is shown briefly in his Rush Coil form, which lets Megaman leap substantially higher off the spring.
>NOTES: Is Rush Coil a move, can other Rush modes be utilized, is it just a taunt, an asisst trophy, item, or something like Sonic's ^B?

Megaman starts getting beat down, his hit stun animation is like his old school ones, staying true, and his death explosion and sound effect are perfect.

Now, the most important and hard to figure out/guess mechanic.
The Copy Ability. This is what sets Rock apart from the rest, and also will make or break the character.
In total, he exhibits the abilities of 9 Robot Masters, across all the games. Is this the limit, are there more, are there all, and how are they change to/from and how do they affect Megaman's playstyle?
My best guess is vB switches, and that alters your regular B move to be the Metal Blades, Crash Bomber, Leaf Shield, etc. That's easy, just hit B, they're projectiles. But some of the moves, like Hard Knuckle, we see that shoot downward. Is that from pressing vB, but can't be because that's what we guess swaps weapons. Is it just regular B? Is it vA? Probably regular B, and when you're on the ground it must shoot forward. We see Spark Shock hit upwards though.

I'm gonna have to get my hands on the blue bomber or some dev interviews on how he plays. I'm very excited.

I played Star Fox and 64, the ones that matter.
I played the game she originates to completion a decade ago. She does jack and shit, sir. She's a damsel in distress that plays the exact same for her measly 30 minutes or so as Fox does when he gets the staff, hell, she's even worse because she lacks the fireball and other special moves you get throughout the game. She made me quit the game twice before I finally powered through her section and saw the Great Fox.

What does she do in Assault and Command, tell me. Fly her Arwing differently? Have a Jetpack? She is literally Fox's Daisy but with less exposure and more fur.

There have been more cancelled Star Fox games than there have good Star Fox games. It's not as powerful a series as the fans imply it to be.
>> No. 175846

Simple. Make her the character she was supposed to be before Fox hijacked the game where she was supposed to be the sole protagonist.

A barely legal cat?
But I kid, more games is always a good option. Make Dinosaur Planet. Make Krystal the protag and make it good. Cameo Fox or whatever, don't shoehorn in flaccid Arwing sections, make a good game and make her a good character.
Right now, the best game she's been in is was made by PlayShapes, and that's a shame.

I don't give a rat's ass about her appearance, she's not the type of character who turns me on. But yeah, the rest of your post is fine. I'm not a fan of mixing gameplay types, anyways. I always detested platformers that forced me to have a racing section. I'm not good at racing games, I don't play them for a reason.

I started thinking about hypothetical Subspace story mode team-ups. Most likely ones that didn't already happen in the last game.

I kinda want to see Wii Fit Trainer and Lucario teaming up to fight in a dojo together. Kat and Ana's stages from WarioWare would work perfectly in this case.

Holy shit, man. Nice analysis. Dunno if you've seen it yet, but here's the developer direct video where Sakurai talks a bit about the three new characters (www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ) and the uppercut is supposed to be the one he has in MvC. I'm wondering if Rush Adapter will end up being his Final Smash.

The Villager looks pretty crazy. I wonder if he can collect a friendly projectiles in a team battle, because that could be a fun thing to mess around with.

Sakurai said in the video (>>175854) that both games would have the same characters, but some different levels: the Wii U version will focus on console games from the various franchises, while the 3DS version will focus on handhelds. Hopefully there will be some crossover, but it's interesting.

Just like Wario then.
Also I know how they can still have clones like say Doctor Mario.

Even though Toon Link and Falco where two of my mains in Brawl; I'm kind of hoping they get dumped for the new game so new characters with different movesets can roll in.
That's to say if they're doing everything from scratch.

>>175845
In Assault they drive the telepathic/ psychic angle more.
If we're talking about ANY Starfox character; all they do is: "shoot guns, fly jets, and drive tanks." Just like the Merio Bros are all the same. And yet they managed to give Captain Falcon and Fox unique movesets when all they're known for is using vehicles. I'm sure they could do something with blue-fox-slut to make her different and interesting. They probably will not since everyone that's had their hands on the series thus far (outside of the Command team) seems to just be ok without putting much effort or creativity into things, so if she ever shows up again they'll probably keep her the same old boring character she is now which is a damn shame because a psychic fighter pilot has a lot of potential. Not to mention tribal themes in a futuristic sci-fi setting.

>>175829
... this looks like a photoshop job someone did for a Fakemon... but it's not. I don't know how to feel about this. It's like they went back to formula and kept the designs simple and clean, yet it just feels awkward... I'm probably just getting too old.

Aside from his tilt up A I kind of like Dorf as is; but I wouldn't mind seeing a different incarnation with some fresh tricks.

I'm REALLY hoping they go all out with this one and give us some combo-ability this time around. I know it's a party fighter, but adding a little depth like that would go a long way. As long as they remove random tripping and actually playtest the damn game, I think it can be great.
>> No. 175914
Yeah, something I've wanted since Melee was skins; at least costumes. Make Falco and Wolf skins for Fox, if Sonic is back in he can have Shadow or Silver skins, Daisy and Peach can do their Sports and Kart outfits, Mario and Luigi can do the power-up variations, etc.

Why Wario was the only one to really get this in Brawl, I don't know.

In hectic fast paced fighters with busy backgrounds (Marvel or anything in the VS series and Smash Bros type games for instance) I like palettes better than outfits as outfits break up character silhouettes and can cause you to lose track of what's going on with that character if you're used to seeing them in a standard outfit normally. This gets even more problematic the more costumes you have.

Bayonetta was never gonna get in anyway. And Joe and Ammy are already in MvC. There was a chance for the guy from the Wonderful 101, but I guess not anymore.
