Accepting mediocrity seems to be the norm these days.

C O N S U M E

@Baart Anyone who freaks out over a bunch of sweaty guys throwing/kicking a ball are also mentally lacking. But that's normal behaviour, so it's fine.

I'm assuming the people calling anyone who freaked out over this reveal 'mentally ill' don't understand what a big deal Smash is. Smash is a huge deal, and at this point it's a video game character hall of fame, which makes the series one of the biggest forces in hype culture. Banjo being in is also a huge deal. People have been wanting him in Smash for well over a decade and this is his first appearance on Nintendo in 14 years. Just because you didn't freak out over their reveal doesn't mean you're better than anyone that did. And keep in mind that these people were in a crowd, and you all know how crowds act.

@Manah The crowds at Nintendo NYC lose their minds over anything Smash related, so it's not really surprising

@Baart I'd hate to see what you think about people who lose it over sports

@KennyBania People being happy and excited is le cringe

I'm one of the many fans who signed the card. K. Rool was my most wanted Smash newcomer, so to see Sakurai finally add him in the game has me ecstatic! December 7th can't come soon enough.

Can't anyone edit IMDB tho?

I'd be surprised if it didn't do well. In terms of both sales and reputation that is.

Actually looks pretty cool!

Bwhahahahahaha, it was real.

I can't believe people in this thread actually believe these games are coming to Switch. It's just an error... 😒

@Nintendoforlife Hope you're prepared for more disappointment!

Real

Why are the characters using their 3DS models? Also, Mario looks off compared to the Waddle Dees. Sadly, I think this is fake.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE How was it lazy? Besides new tracks, what else did you want them to add?

Why waste 100 Platinum Coins on those videos when you can just watch them on YouTube for free?

Looks incredible. Gonna buy a Switch just for this.

And to the people saying the game is going to be "literally unplayable" because ONE level has realistic looking people in it; lol. Stop.

Sounds ridiculous, but interesting at the same time. It's a Mario RPG (at launch), plus there are party members (which haven't been in Mario RPGs for a while now.) I wonder how the gameplay will differ from the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series.

It's also interesting that this is being developed by Ubisoft, and not Nintendo. I personally think this is more than likely real, and I look forward to seeing its official reveal.

@GoldenGamer88 Wow, you saw like 3 seconds of footage of the new Mario game, and you've come to the conclusion that it's 3D World 2.0 and it's linear? Seriously? You're jumping the gun this early? Also, the triple jump returns (which was absent from 3D World), and the camera is behind Mario's back like in Mario 64. It seems like a blend of 3D World, Galaxy, and 64 to me.

EDIT: Also, a heart container is seen in the distance in that one area with the Bullet Bill. Again, it is NOT 3D World 2.0. Don't be so pessimistic.

@deKay The difference here is that those tech demo games for the Wii U were shown a full year before the console was released. The Switch comes out in 5 months. Even then, most of the Wii U tech demos were eventually made into full fledge games.

@JaxonH Yeah, I'm still hoping the game will be good. I'm interested to see the end game. I believe the producer said there was a twist, so I'm looking forward to seeing it. I just hope it isn't Bowser or something dumb like that.

I'm going to dive into all the spoilers after the game is released, and if it seems any good to me, I'll probably pick it up. But for now it just looks like Sticker 2.0 to me. But we'll see.

@JaxonH I can't get hype for a game that looks the same as its predecessor. The only Paper Mario game I played was Sticker Star, and I hated the battle system in that game. Color Splash looks more of the same. And the fact there are no new characters (other than the paint bucket) or enemies is a huge turn-off to me. Seriously, this "only use characters that appeared in the Mario series" is an incredibly stupid rule to have. Why limit the creativity?

@Anti-Matter Lol there's a randem dancing pig so funne. XD

@JaxonH No, that video didn't make me interested in the game at all. What makes this gameplay footage hype? It's cool that they have the enemies as NPCs instead of Toads (even though very generic), but that's it. The video is just Mario talking to enemies, and then they show more of the (IMO) unfun looking battle system. Again, how is this hype?

Also, what is up with all the people only buying the game for the graphics? I'm seeing this on other sites especially. In fact, I saw one person say "the graphics will make up for the mediocre gameplay." This is getting sad.

That was charming, but the gameplay still looks like Sticker Star 2.0. Going to remain optimistic.

@Syrek24 Sticker Star is the only Paper Mario game I played, and thought it was garbage. I must be stuck in nostalgia some how even though I haven't played the previous Paper Mario games!

Here's the changes if anyone is interested: http://smashboards.com/threads/1-1-6-patch-notes-patch-discussion.436806/

Some pretty heavy nerfs.

TL;DR: Some of her moves now have smaller hit boxes, more ending lag, more/less knockback, and deal slightly less damage. So basically, it's harder for her to combo now.

Ganon buffs please. Give his grab more range.

@Gauchorino Smash replays aren't videos, they are CPUs recreating the match you saved a replay of. If they didn't delete everyone's replays after a balance patch, there's a good chance the inputs in the replays would mess up. So that's why they have to delete them every time they do a balance patch.

@Zach777 Smash Wii U and 3DS have completely different stages, so that would probably be impossible. Even the stages shared between both versions have some differences between them.

@Mechageo To do that, they would probably have to remove some button configurations from the controls menu. But why would they do that for a playstyle that's really hard to use and no one is using? There's no point in patching it out.

People are more excited for these plastic toys than any game coming to the Wii U this year. Sad!

Shrek should be in Smash too. He's a very famous character, right up there with Mario and PAC-MAN. He would fit very well in the game's art style, and has appeared in dozens of games, a bunch of which turned out to be successful. We need to get him modded in this game, but more importantly, get him in the next Smash!

People are losing their minds over this? What? Why? It's not like these things are being masproduced. This seems like a neat little project someone made just for the sake of "How would the NES Zapper look like if it was an actual gun?" and nothing more. It's not like the sole purpose of this gun was made for shooting up innocent people, and to let kids play with it. And what is up with these people saying NO ONE should be allowed to own a gun? You people are waaay too sensitive these days.

Ironic, considering she was the most voted character in Europe.

The Mario Baseball series (Super Sluggers specifically). Really really fun game, with the best Mario character roster by far (they have all the main characters, the important spin-off characters, all the major enemies, and a good majority of the DK characters). I really hope they make a sequel soon...

@ACK Sounds like you're butthurt because "x character is more popular than my character!" Also, "Completely disgusting"? That's rather bold. lol

@zool Not sure how talking about a scrapped character = milking, but okay.

Looks like it's coming back...

The only thing leaked was the Geno hat. Everything else is stuff we've already known about.

The amount of salt in this comments section is absolutely hilarious. "I hope this wasn't the big announcement!" LOL. How many times do we have to telll you guys to not get super hyped over stuff like this? But no. You raise your hype levels through the room, then when the announcement finally drops, you cry on the internet on how disappointed you were by it.

Also, Nintendo never said there was a "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ZOMG" today. But you know who did? An employee at NoA that manages the indie stuff. And you know where it was announced? It was announced by the same NoA employee in a podcast interview ABOUT indies.

ALL SIGNS OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT POINTED TO IT BEING AN INDIE RELATED ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE BEGINNING. Now stop crying, and just accept that this is the big announcement.

Sad. It was a really well made mod, that had a lot of passion put into it. A lot of people see it as only "Brawl with Melee game mechanics", but it was much more than that. That was the intent at first, but as the time went on, they started shifting their focus to other things. Such as making a gazillion really well crafted character costumes, making new stages and bringing back old ones, brought back old characters from the ground up, new music, new modes, etc. It was a great effort, so it's sad to see it go.

I wish them the best in their future endeavors.

Still looks extremely generic. Generic worlds, enemies, NPCs, and story make me not want to support this game. That was the main reason why I hated Sticker Star. I'm sick of these "It's like NSMB... but an RPG!" type of games. Sorry, I prefer to have originality in my games.

3. Super Mario Maker
2. Super Mario 3D World
1. SMASHHH

I also own MK8. It's a very fun game, but it's very overrated. A lot of people ignores its flaws, and call it "the best racing of all time." Like I said, it's a fun game, but I don't think it's worthy of that much praise.

I used to own New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, Captain Toad, and Sonic Lost World. But I sold them for Mario Maker because they're boring/underwhelming. Also, NSMBU has got to be the most overated game on the Wii U. You people do realizes that it's just the Wii version, but with new backgrounds... right? Yet, people praise it a lot.

@VanillaLake Yes, I have played them. SM3DW is still a good game. I think it's better than Sunshine and Galaxy 2.

What's up with "NOT ANOTHER SWORDSMAN!" comments? There's about 11 swordsman on the roster. Now compare that to the 40 characters in the game that don't use swords. I don't get it.

And what the hell is up with the K. Rool hate in here? I'm really confused by all of it. He's a loved villain from a popular Nintendo series... what's there to hate exactly? Because he's a popular requested character? If so, that's ridiculous. There are way more requested characters out there that are more popular than K. Rool. You're pretty much hating the underdog for no reason, which is kind of pathetic. Direct your hate towards the characters people want in because "muh bandwagon", and not the characters that people are really passionate about wanting in. Absolutely ridiculous.

Well that was... WHAT. Looking forward to the Smash Direct in December. Crossing my fingers for King K.

@BigBabyPeach jerk

@JaxonH The leak IS NOT REAL. Fake leaks in the past have accurately predicted Nintendo Direct dates before, but the leaks themselves have turned out 100% false despite that (i.e. the January and April ND 4chan "leaks"). Also, the "leak" mentions talk about mobile. But as people have pointed out in the comments section, the ND website said there won't be any mobile (and NX) talk.

So yeah. IT'S FAKE.

I think people are missing the point of these levels. Levels like these show how insane some people can be with level design. They're not suppose to be your average run of the mill "fun and challenging" SMM level. These types of levels are supposed to be nearly impossible to beat. It makes them more fun to watch, and beating them feels really good. These well-designed super hard, off the wall SMM levels aren't that common anyway. So I have no idea why people complain about them. It's such a petty thing to complain about.

The people who are defending this are more angry than the people "offended" by this. These people are going as far as to tell the people upset by this to "rethink their lives", and they're "dumb". Really now? Calm down people. No need to be so toxic.

As for what I think of the doge meme reference? I think it's stupid, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I can see why people are upset by it, though. It's just a poor attempt at humor.

Don't know what everyone's probelm is with Smash DLC.

For example: Ryu is $6. This is what you get if you buy him.

• 1 character
• 1 stage + Omega form
• 6 music pieces
• 4 trophies (some of them you have to unlock)

...how is that overpriced? People are just penny-penching IMO.

Dear God people, stop acting like this automatically means Shovel Knight is in Smash Bros. The amiibo listing page has also listed ZSS for Ducktales, and Dr. Mario for Splatoon before. It's an error, not a conformation.

JUST STOP.

@PanurgeJr I counted, there's actually 12 comments supporting Shantae.

@Crimzonlogic Mii costumes don't deconfirm anyone... (unless Sakurai says so himself, which he hasn't)

I voted for King K. Rool. I don't think the Mii costume of him hurts his chances all that much, because it could mean anything really. I really hope he gets in.

@Gauchorino @Tsurii The stage builder in Smash U is a huge step up from Brawl's. Only problem is that there's not enough elements (ice blocks, falling platforms, ladders, etc.) Other than that, it's way better. Brawl's was too clunky and limited.

Hope he does justice to Nintendo and takes the company in a good direction. Best of luck!

@Tempestryke Yeah, such a shame that Nintendo adds extra content to their games after they're completed. How dare they!

A lot of you guys are saying Smash's DLC is overpriced. But let's look at it like this.

Here's what Ryu comes with:
1 character (a newcomer mind you)
1 stage + omega version
6 songs
4 trophies (2 of which you have to unlock)

All of that for $6 is a steal IMO. But the Mii costume packs seem a tad bit much.
