I see a few Nintendo fanboys in the comments damage controlling Nintendo's E3, and don't see why we're upset. Well, there's a few major reasons why we're upset:
1. They gave us the names we want, but not the games we want. (Metroid and Animal Crossing) 2. Only two new Wii U games were announced, and they were crappy spin-off titles that had no place at E3 (Mario Tennis and Animal Crossing). 3. 90% of the Digital Event were games we've been seeing for the past 1 - 2 years. (Xenoblade, Mario Maker, Yoshi, etc.) 4. As stated at #2, there were a few titles that shouldn't have been showcased. They had no place at E3, and should've been shown in a Nintendo Direct. (Happy Home Designer, Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis, etc.) 5. They talked about some of these games for far too long, especially the ones we've already heard about. (Mario Maker and Yoshi)
There's probably a few more, but that's all I can think of at the moment. But yeah, if you thought what Nintendo did on Tuesday was acceptable and are damage controlling it; you're killing Nintendo, and you're the reason why they won't change.
Can we please STOP with the "Ryu shouldn't be in because they're hasn't been any recent SF games on Wii U." The 3rd party characters don't get it because "they have new games coming out for the Wii U." They get in due to their legendary status as a video game character.
Also it's funny how bitter and overly sensitive these Nintendo purists are. lol
@Nintendo_Ninja Hmm... probably because Melee and Smash 4 are so radically different than each other to the point you can't really even compare them? And who cares. Let them play what they want to play. Melee is still being played for a reason.
@DarkEdi Longer snaker, and his down throw puts characters in a pitfall. Also, who cares. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
@BulbasaurusRex Wolf's specials look similar to Fox and Falco's, but function very differently. Plus, his titls, smash attacks, and throws are COMPLETELY different from Fox and Falco's. I wouldn't call Wolf a clone, but I would put him in the same boat as Luigi.
@OneBagTravel It's a huge deal whenever a character in a Smash game gets cut. Especially if it's a unique character like Mewtwo. He first appeared in Melee, but however didn't make it into Brawl, and a decent ammount of people loved playing as Mewtwo in Melee. So when fans found out Mewtwo was cut, they started requesting him to come back like crazy. Also, he's pretty cool Pokèmon.
He's also considered to be one of the top 3 most requested Smash characters for Smash 4 (and in Brawl). Which are (no order):
@Oren87 I love level editors to death, so this type of game appeals to me. I'm debating on buying it because it's basically the same as Mini-Land Mayhem.
@Spectra_Twilight Play Mini-Land Mayhem, then play Tipping Stars, and tell me with a straight face it's not a rehash.
@alex167 This.
@Goginho I have no idea how you got that from my post. This and Smash Bros. are not comparable.
My brother is big into SMW hacking (he also makes similar levels like this one), and he showed me this about a week ago. And I have to say... this is pretty insane. Well, even "insane" is probably an understatement. lol
Those were some very informative, helpful, and high quality videos. Kudos to whoever made them!
Also, since this an article about competitive Smash, there's probably going to be some ignorant comments (because this stuff is controversial for some reason). Competitive Smash has been becoming more popular recently, so hopefully people will warm up to it more and not say outlandish, ridiculous stuff about the competitive scene.
"First off, PewDiePie is an idiot and anyone who watches his videos is dumber than he is. "
Wow, what a wonderful, lovely person you are. So mature.
"Secondly, uploading gameplay is copyright infringement."
Except it isn't.
"It is no different than uploading music or TV shows without proper consent."
With movies and music, you have to watch it for the full experience. On the other hand, with video games, you have to PLAY it to get the full experience. So uploading video game footage IS different than uploading music or TV shows without "proper consent".
"And finally, it is not free advertising."
Except it is.
"Watching some dude play through a game defeats the purpose of buying it"
No it doesn't (unless the game is heavily story driven).
A Dr. Mario themed stage was my most wanted stage! DLC please.
@King_Stannis You're cute.
EDIT: There's 25 new stages, and 18 returning. Try again.
@HawkeyeWii What "slots"? There are no "slots." Sakurai doesn't go "OH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 50 SLOTS! FILL THEM UP!" No. He can put as many characters in as he wants. Also, Dr. Mario took little to no development time. So stop using the "this character took up a spot!" BS, because it's not true
@Jahir "I'll see the SSB4 tournament for sure, the matches will be more interesting than those of melee." I'm assuming you haven't seen any competitive Smash 4 or Melee tourneys/videos.
@midnafanboy Hmm... I have no idea if you're joking or not. But in case you aren't... The fact that you called people who play Melee are "living in the past" shows that you know nothing the game, or the competitive scene. But I don't know if you're joking or not. Also, go Diddy Kong!
@shingi_70 "Eh I wish Meele wasn't in the tournament." Because...?
@VIIIAxel "I'm surprised it got a spot, considering some competitive players seem to think anything past Melee is unplayable garbage for dirty casuals." This is sadly true, for the most part. .-. But keep in mind, Brawl was at EVO 2008, and Melee wasn't.
@DarkKirby "I'm expecting a very Diddy/Sheik heavy Apex 2015 for Smash 4." Me too.

Re: Empty Slots on Super Smash Bros. Site Suggests More Upcoming DLC Characters

More of a rehash than New Super Mario Bros. 2. Disgusting. I'm debating on wether or not to buy this.
Also, NL praising rehashes? What a surprise.
Re: Preview: Puzzling Our Way through Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars
This so rehashy, it's not even funny. This is 100x worse than the New Super Mario Bros. series. I think I'm going to puke.
Still buying because of cross-play and I love level editors. That means I'm apart of the problem. smh
@TeeJay You could stop them in the first game? Pretty interesting. I wonder why they would remove that...
