I don't mind missing a few hours. I'll just wake up to some good news! Maybe...
@Mega719 - You want to see everyone's faces when they reveal a character we all knew about because of the leaks (and the fact that everyone's still talking about it)?
I've had my 3DS since launch and it's showing its age a bit. If the New 3DS were to cost that much when it gets here, I'll probably upgrade so long I can keep all of my data through transfers.
2015 though....
This isn't the first game to do it; Sonic Generations, Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team also had that feature. Nevertheless, I'm glad it's in this game; going to listen to that soundtrack non-stop!
Delays always suck, but it's well worth it if it leads to perfection. That happened with Brawl and if Smash 4 Wii U gets delayed a bit, then so be it. Hopefully, it'll be released before 2014 though; for the sales if anything.
Play testers are heroes with this kind of stuff. They're the reason why a fantastic game doesn't suck because of bugs. I saw a comment on this mention the possibilities of how many documents and waivers you'd need to sign as a play tester, for a game as big as Smash Brothers. Having knowledge about it well before anyone else... and then Nintendo Ninjas come to your door if you say a word...
Mega Man IV for me, having fun with MMIII so the next game will be that much better.
As much as I'd love it to come here, I'm not gonna expect Shovel Knight for a while because the localisation process is Yacht Club Games' issue, not just Nintendo's. Plus if this is anything to go by, it's gonna be a while.
I'm happy to see Meta Knight return, hopefully he's not as OP as he was in Brawl but it's nice to have him regardless. He seems to have a bit of battle damage in some of the screenshots. Check out his shoulder guards, they're scratched in some of the shots but spotless in others.
Perfect, there's always a few trophies that I could never get in Brawl. Plus the option to use Play Coins is always good. Finally have something other than Mario Golf to spend them on if I never run low on Smash Coins. I'd buy that Viridi trophy in a heartbeat! ^^
I think people are forgetting that Robin is the main newcomer and he's a fair bit more interesting than Chrom; Lucina was planned to be an alt but the small differences were enough to give Lucina her own slot. She didn't replace anybody so she's merely a bonus; between having her and not getting anything else, I know what I'd want!
This reveal was great! I could not have asked for anything better. I'll be sure to play as Robin and do him/her justice with flawless tactics! I'm glad about Captain Falcon's confirmed return as well. He was awesome in the reveal trailer!
I'd greatly appreciate if Kirby Fighters had online of some sort. It'd be the closest thing to Smash Bros. until October 3rd, but if the price is good; I'll probably go for both anyway.
Don't understand the hate for this. It's OK to not like it by all means; but it's free, it's optional and it doesn't even look that bad. Anyway, bring on the Mario Kart DLC.
I don't know why but I love making video game levels so this really appeals to me. I've made a lot of Mario vs. Donkey Kong levels over the years. One thing I hope they also take note of is the game's mechanics when changing graphic styles. I'm too used to being able to wall jump with NSMB, so not being able to when playing with those graphics will catch me off guard. Otherwise, this game has HUGE potential and I hope it's all realised while the game is made.
Wow. What a coincidence. I recently went back to Power Paintbrush (the other name for Canvas Curse) to get the last medals and 100% my first file from years ago, and now this comes up! It's like fate. I'm all for it.
Well, this happened! XD
I suppose this is a good way of advertising the game. It will spread through word-of-mouth thanks to this! Luigi's clearly had enough of the 'Green Mario' treatment he's been getting up until now. The Year of Luigi ain't over 'til Luigi says it's over. You will respect the L or get the Shell!
I would like the Fake Item Box back. I like it as an item and concept. Just make it blue so it's easier to fall for it and mayhem will ensue. @Corleonis88's idea of a Fake Coin isn't bad either. Rather have that than an actual coin from Item Boxes.
@Grumblevolcano - You mean MK8 or another Mario Kart in general? In CTR's multiplayer, it appears often; I've seen players get it 4 times in a row in Crash Team Racing! Way worse than MKWii ever was, but again, that's just the multiplayer.
Single-player experience is great and CTR's aged pretty well.
Crash Team Racing is an awesome racing game, one of the few racing games that's on par with the Mario Kart games and was imo, better than MK64. Nice single-player mode, good battle mode, fun challenges, the game had next-to-no flaws. I would like to point out though that in multiplayer, the game's Blue Shell equivalent shows up a lot in races. Seen it show up more times than the Blue Shell does in MK Wii.
I like how the kart looks actually. The advert is great, the real-life Mario and Goomba too; they didn't look laughably bad. Oh and hey, this means DLC is a thing for MK8 so I can look forward to more of that.
Mario Kart with a couple of guest characters/tracks? Sure, I could tolerate it. Nintendo Kart concept on paper? No thanks. Maybe I'd like it in the end if it does actually happen, but right now I can do without. It'd have to be done really well.
@rjejr - The mirroring effect only applies to some characters. Not everyone gets this effect, so weapon wielders will most likely not get this treatment.
I had my last few rounds of Mario Kart Wii and Smash Bros. Brawl today and had a great time, about 5 or 6 hours worth. Surprisingly, Brawl went pretty smoothly, no lag and after a couple of trolls and taunt rooms, I had some awesome hardcore Brawls! I intend to make of most of the Pokémon services later. Farewell, Nintendo Wi-Fi. We had a good run...
@sinalefa - I think Mario Kart 7 had all of its characters revealed, iirc.
@Ttimer - I'm guessing for the same reason Waluigi is a heavy weight, their height. Both are pretty tall and might not have enough leg room in a medium kart, I guess.
Some people have wanted the Koopalings for quite some time now so that's good. Unlike the majority of everyone else, I'll give the other two newcomers a go. If I end up hating Pink Gold Peach later, it'll be because she'll be overused in online races. Otherwise, I'm willing to give Her Royal Shininess a chance!

Oh, and inb4 any "shovel knight" comments; the European region localisation team are in the "Final Testing" phrase now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th August (Europe)
Mega Man V for me. Really enjoying the GB games so far.
If I had a Wii U, of course I'd get the MK8 DLC as well.
Re: Super Smash Bros. For 3DS Will Feature A Music Player That Works In Sleep Mode

Re: Super Smash Bros. For 3DS To Feature More Trophies Than Brawl
Perfect, there's always a few trophies that I could never get in Brawl. Plus the option to use Play Coins is always good. Finally have something other than Mario Golf to spend them on if I never run low on Smash Coins.
I'd buy that Viridi trophy in a heartbeat! ^^
Re: PokéBall Vivillon Available in Short Term North American Distribution
I'd like for one to come over here in Europe as well. Tis a pretty design.
Re: Multi-Generational Paper Mario Stage Confirmed for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
No doubt that they'll be more sections of this stage. It looks great, can't wait to play on it and I hope the music selection is good too.

Re: CoroCoro Magazine Reveals Mega Metagross for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
It's looks alright but really, there should be more underpowered Pokémon getting Megas, not the already powerful ones.

Re: Weirdness: Luigi's Mario Kart 8 'Death Stare' Is Deemed Noteworthy By Fox News
