Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Five

Oh snap....Link gonna hit dat

I didnt think I would ever say this, but I cant wait to play as Peach!

Peach giving a wedgie! Shes jealous of trainer's regimine...

the second one! just the corridor looks ugly, I cant believe there is so much detail on characters but the corridor without shaders looks like a gamecube graphics.

"Can't decide" is the option I voted.

"Erm, it's the inside of a corridor"

Obviously.

Peach: oh WFT what a cute thong you have.

Atomic Wedgie. And, yes, that is now the name of the screenshot.

When Smash Bros. comes out I'll beat anyone here,

@ShadowFox254 You're on. >:3

@ZackNormandin I LOL'ed.

@WinterWarm I've beating 3 CPUs on team battle all lv 9 fighting only me. So you shouldn't be problem.

First Luigi, now Link?

@ShadowFox254 Depends on the map. Can you do that consistently on all maps? Some maps are known to be exploitable when fighting AI.

Also, by the looks of it bunny hopping is back?

I guess nobody else noticed this, but that screenshot of Olimar is the first instance of a Pikmin character on a handheld game, barring the Pikmin that carry data during a 3DS system transfer.

@Ernest_The_Crab 2vs1 100% any random map. 3vs1 maybe 60% certain maps gives me an extra 10-20% increase.

Smash Bros. is the game of the year whenever one entry comes out, hands down.

What stage is the tunnel thingy from?

@ShadowFox254 beating CPU'S doesn't mean you can beat anyone or it doesn't mean you are good either. Just saying

Peach you naughty girl...

The week of Peach completely owned. Atomic Wedgie wins for me but Link is Dreamy was a very close second.

@chaos_ I have also, beating people who are good at the game that makes the lv 9 CPUs look like lv 1.

@ShadowFox254 still doesn't mean you can beat "anyone" and that's still not worth bragging about

@chaos_ I wasn't bragging about it until you guys keep bringing up. -_-

@ShadowFox254 all that one guy said was "your on" and you responded with bragging how you can beat 3 lvl 9 CPU's by your self so you started it

@chaos_ That was just friendly trash talk. -_-

@chaos_

He wasn't bragging, he was just explaining something to someone that asked him a question.

@ShadowFox254

Pah! We'll see how long you hold out against the fierce, pounding fury of winter itself. ^–^

@ShadowFox254 We'll see...

Wow, there's already an entire site dedicated to Atomic Wedgie, including art, ideas about whats up, and a surprising amount of logical, common sense.

First Other M, then no birthyday party and now even Peach is trampling about on her. Poor Samus.

Anyone else wanna ship Link and Peach now?

Great! The picture gets taken down and so does my comment. (Not like I said anything really suggestive!)

Anyway, I guess the Peach and Link pick will be more of a subtle pic to ship! -_-

Between Peach and Samus, I always thought Samus would be on top.

Hey there everyone, please keep our Community Rules in mind while posting here — we have always asked that explicit, vulgar and/or pornographic images not be posted here at Nintendo Life. Nothing has changed. This isn't the place to make lewd comments about what you'd personally do to a game character or to post and leer at skeezy pictures of game characters in compromising situations, so if that's the sort of thing you'd like to post and discuss, we ask that you take it elsewhere. Thanks in advance, and if you have any questions, our inboxes are open to you!

The graphics look pretty basic, to be honest. Brawl played in hidef on Dolphin doesn't look much worse. The upgrade doesn't feel that big, although I bet it will look great in motion! It's gotta be 60fps, right? Dolphin does require quite a beast of a machine to play Wii games at 720p. ;p
Maybe it just goes to show that despite lower res / lower poly, the Brawl art style holds up?

EDIT: Gah, I take my words back. The graphical fidelity is significantly better. I just checked this comparison gallery:
http://nintendoeverything.com/excellent-super-smash-bros-wii-ubrawl-comparisons/
Maybe it's just that the models are SO similar in design that it keeps it from feeling fresh? It just looks so familiar. :J

@Moshugan yeah that is what I mean, specially the corridor looks pretty basic without any shaders, characters are ok but the stages looks meh.

@Moshugan I checked your site and I enjoyed looking at the side by sides. I do have to admit something. I'm about to get flamed for this

Looking at the pics...I have to say that the graphics to the Wii U is a jump, but not a huge jump. Here me out! Really the only thing that changed here is the textures and outlines with a bit of smoothing here and there. Outside of that, it looks the same in my opinion.

This actually enlightened me more about how well the Wii actually was with first party games. I actually like the look of Mario on Brawl compared to the him on the Wii U. I guess more specifically...the jumper. You can see that the jeans look better on Brawl than they do on U (Wii U). Nintendo should have kept that look. WOW the Wii really was more capable than people gave it credit for. Heck, it was more capable than I gave it credit for. All it needed was some HD love and BAM! Looks just as great as it's rivals. I'm not ragging on the Wii U at all. Just like how the graphics from the rivals and their next consoles aren't a huge jump, neither is the Wii to Wii U. Still, that takes nothing away from how great these games look. I'm a proud Wii U owner. I can't wait for this game to sell out and top the charts for weeks and months to come. Probably holiday next year.

Peach giving Link the bedroom eyes LOL.

@DarkKirby
She must like the color green.

Okay, Peach... what are you doing to the Wii Fit Trainer?

@DestinyMan
Best profile picture ever.

The one with Peach and Link is hilarious to me.

@Rafie The problem was not really the graphical aspect. The biggest problem with Brawl was the colour palette. It was completely washed out. In addition, certain characters were portrayed incorrectly ie Bowser. You ask the people out there, the majority of people will tell you that the Brawl version of Bowser is a poor portrayal of him (one of the things the new game fixes).

Sakurai actually commented on the colour palette; it was changed because he felt after making Brawl, Nintendo characters fit a brighter palette rather than a darker one.

I like the way the games are coming along. I just don't like the announcements of characters that we know are going to be in the game. They need to announce Lil Mac and Ike already!!

What about Sonic!!! We need Sonic to complete the game!!!

@gioku
Ikr!

@ZackNormandin Lol! "Link gonna hit dat"

I think I know what that weird, ugly corridor is!

It's where Samus fought Ridley while falling in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. If that's a stage, it's going to be epic!!!!! And that would explain the ugliness, because everthing will be rushing by, no time to actually see it.

"Classic head bopping"
Can't wait for this!

Some of these texture better not be final ...
The horrors of the rock face are too much XD

@DestinyMan IKR? There's sooooo much stuff in Brawl you wouldn't see ordinarily, but Sakurai put it in there anyways. That guy's amazing.
