So. Smash Run. Why the hell is it only for 3DS? Is there some kind of amazing mode that's only going to be on the Wii U version instead? If there is, why didn't they say anything about it?

Because every player needs their own screen for their individual Metroidvania adventures.

Whatever special Wii U mode exists, it's clearly not ready yet.

I'm very concerned that the Ice Climbers will be cut due to the 3DS's limitations. Handling as many as eight equally-complex 60fps fighters at once could not be possible.

Popo and Nana are synchronous (or very exactly asynchronous), that's the point. They'd be unplayable at different framerates.

I feel like there's basically no way they're gonna cut any characters that have been in every game. That would be a pretty weird decision and would make people mad for no reason.

Well the original 12 are safe, I'm sure. But Melee folks are fair game.

Is Rosalina's Luma at 30 fps?

Rosalina's Luma isn't literally Rosalina recolored. It's probably less than 1/10th as complex, visually or computationally.

I'm thinking Rosalina's gonna "fill" the two-character twin control "gimmick" of the Climbers. I'd be happy to be wrong but I'm not counting on them making it in.

The pikmin are probably each 1/4 as complex so if you have 4 Olimars each with their max 3 pikmin out and then they all simultaneously do their up B does that count as 8 characters?

The Pikmin are like 1/20th the polycount if we're being generous, and very basic textures.

It's this poo poo. I can deal with the jet-heels (though not the pointless heels from Other M) but the loving boob-socks are just egregious pandering. It's awful.

At least she's not five-foot-six like in Other M, though, that was loving Mai Waifu bullshit.

I'm curious if they're going to encourage the players to A) pick the new characters B) don't just go for the boring flat stages and C) play with items on?

I mean it's a tournament so I imagine the competitors want to play with competitive rules, but on the other hand this is 100% a promotional tool and they'd want to have them show off all the game has to offer. Or perhaps they'll have for glory and for fun matches at this invitational thing to show off both.

I don't play competitively, but I think it's really cool how they included Final Destination versions of most of the stages.


:psyduck: That would be genius


I would legit be okay with Simon from the Yogscast being a special DLC for Smash Bros real talk

I'm looking forward to getting this for 3DS, but my one reservation is that the characters will get too small with zoom, especially on the larger stages. Does anyone who's played that new Kirby game know how the VS levels compare in size?

Well, for one each player gets their own screen. But in addition, those thick black outlines on the 3DS version are designed to make characters "readable" at a distance.

At least it looks like they're making new models for a lot of the trophies instead of half-assing it like Brawl. (That is a new model, right?)

Then again, a lot of the more obscure/not mainstream ones got new models anyway so who knows.

Kurtofan posted:

I think the switch to HD is going to force them to redo models for the trophies. 3DS might be a different story.

If I remember right, most of the good looking trophy models from Brawl were based on things from GBA/DS games.

They kept re-using (with new textures) models from goddamn Pokemon Stadium right up until they released that Pokedex 3D app on 3DS.

It's perfectly fine and in fact beneficial in a pre-release, reality show styled E3 event with a wacky ruleset (seriously read the rules, in the event of an absolute tie the winner is chosen based on which name the crowd cheers louder) that focuses on fun and is entirely paid for by Nintendo. But in a serious 'For Glory' setting the top 16 needs to be the actual best 16 players available, and demographics can't be a factor or else the integrity is gone and there's no glory in that.

There's integrity - albiet of a different persuasion - in promoting equality, especially if promoting equality has such trivial repercussions as the outcome of a video game tournament.

Considering the amount of times players were screaming out for gamecube controllers I figure they'll make a neat profit off all this. Assuming that most people will want the game + 1-4 controllers + the adapter.

I reckon they'll bundle the adapter with one Smash-Branded GCN controller for around $30-$40 total.

I'm hoping the adapter is packaged with the game by default, because it would suck to bring your own controller to a friend's house and not be able to use it.

...you could just bring the adapter with you, too? It's not big.
