And somehow disney infinity is able to stock my local gamestop with 100s of figures, while they literally had 8 amiibos. Not even pikachu or kirby. SHAME ON NINTNEDO!

Seriously pro smash players are so immature and annoying and don't deserve being respected in the community. Great skill, terrible personalities.

Duck Hunt dog is one of those really annoying projectile spammy characters anyway!

Ok gen 5 had that one flounder pokemon, WORST EVER. But for some reason even the bad ones like vanillish grew on me! I liked having a completely new set of 150 pokemon to work with. X/Y let me down on that front.

And I'm just trying to get a regular villager amiibo lol.

Dang I want the villager!

Kit... <3

I didn't pre-order this game and learned my lesson! My family was in disagreement on who was preordering and it just never happened. Thus it has created a huge fiasco and upset everyone. After being hyped every day for this game for over a year its quite anticlimactic and disappointing. Luckily they have the bundle available online at walmart (even if i did have to do rush shipping)

@OdnetninAges HAHAHAHA

Wow who knew jimmy was so intense about MK8? Im surprised he is obsessed with talking about the cyber slick wheels too. He must actually play it a lot. I still don't like him. Such a tool to the modern consumerist society.

Any amiibo deals or too soon?

If smash bros was made by ubisoft or a similar AAA title maker, who likes to get as much money as possible Im sure the clone characters would have been paid DLC. They could have also made the classic stages paid DLC. But they didn't and I'm happy with that.

There is already SO MUCH CONTENT. Seriously 50 characters is plenty. And Sakurai doesn't want gamers to think the game isn't full of content, because it is.

Because the hype has been so long and the 3DS version is already out I feel like the reviews don't even matter this time. I'm sure its a great game.

As long as its not stretched or skewed. Like I am fine playing low res GBA or NES games on the 3DS, but the fact that the pixels don't align and are blurry (only on the original 3DS) it makes it worse.

Haha if I was in high school still I would totally be all over this. I remember somebody in my Calc class would play a 007 shooter game on his TI-84

The real threat is a skilled Rosalina user. Little Mac is quite fun to play with though.

Actually the Mii fighters are super fun to play as!

AEGIS DEFENDERS YES!! I am actually friends with somebody on the team! Looking forward to the game. And I have a feeling it will be on the Wii U, I mean they are only 5k away from the stretch goal, it would be a complete shame if they didn't.

So what is CRAZY is that one of my Facebook friends posted about how he was so excited he got hired for a gig just to play super smash bros! He assumed it was for a commercial, but could not talk about it. (I'm in LA btw). It turned out to be this. No joke.

I'm surprised they used the e3 build! According to my memory it played a lot slower than the 3ds version did...or is my mind playing tricks on me?

I can't decide who my starter should be!

In sapphire and emerald I picked Mudkip both times, but there are so many awesome water types I could put on my team instead. And there are hardly ANY fire types in this game for some reason. I might end up with Blaziken, even if I did have him in X/Y

do i have to play bayonetta 1 first? Id rather play 2 and then go back and play the first one later. unless there is like major differences in story etc.

so cutttttteeeeeeee i see the red one fell into an empty ramune bottle!

i LOVED the character reveals and the awesome animations for those, wish they could have added more of that. i mean seriously you spend your whole cinematic sequence budget on PR and then drop the ball on the opening.... SMH

@TheItalianBaptist yeah tbh i feel that way too

And the big announcement is probably 8 player cross-play matches between ads and wii u systems, or a delay.

I LOVE that screenshot. ZSS looks like a real person! The graphics are gonna be so good I can feel it. THERE BETTER BE AN OPENING VIDEO.

Go listen to Smash Bros voice clips of Palutena 12-18. If you haven't heard of it, you're in for a "surprise"

Honestly I'm just buying my favorite characters to put on my desk as a paper weight/ decoration. The game application is just a bonus to me.

Toadette is SO CUTE. <(0__0)>

well W101 was pretty awesome as far as the demo goes so I'm hoping this game is similar, but with less silly cartoonish stuff. Just worried about the oversexualization of the main character....considering that Isn't a push for me to buy the game as I don't swing that way.

How did that mario player get to the final match? He sucked at recovering. If he knows his recovery is really bad, he shouldn't try and do ledge guarding/off stage tactics. So many DUMB decisions in the final match on mario's part it was painful to watch.

OMG THE WHITE XL HAS LIKE EVERYGAME EVER RELEASED WHO'S IS THAT?

Compared to the original system, how much larger are the screens? Like I know the XL is 90% larger.

I have the original 3DS and have been dying for that extra screen size, but if its a nice medium then I might get the smaller one for the faceplates. But It seems the xl has the more "premium" feel and i like the gamecube blue color.

@JaxonH Very observant remarks. Ultimately commenters on nintendo life are so niche and not representative of more than a few percent of the nintendo games user base. More casual gamers are rarely concerned with things avid fans are: example being smash bros.

I showed it to classmates who didn't know there was a new one, and it was for handheld, and they were blown away! They were most excited about just playing as pac-man and mega man, they couldn't give a damn if the "wifi was semi laggy in 4 player matches" or that they took out the ice climbers.

Nintendo just doesn't understand marketing and tends to make it seem too childish and unappealing.

Nintendo is pretty aware that when you buy smash bros, you are gonna be pretty heavily absorbed in it, so its not like they want another triple A title coming out at the same exact time. Keep in mind casual gamers still have to catch up and get Mario Kart 8.

Hoping this holiday season with Smash Bros AND MK8 will turn the tide. (along with all the previous spectacular wii u titles that people haven't bought yet- hyrule warriors etc)

I'm dying to have one. I just got smash and have to say the characters are tiny on the screen! I really need the XL version! Too bad they couldn't release it this fall!

@birthgirth Yep 9pm pacific time in the US.

Still waiting for the PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte) pokemon. It could be like Rotom, but be a sponsored by Starbucks.

(Im joking btw)

OMG THE GRAPHICS!

Problems with your statements Sakurai:
1.The models for zelda, ganondorf, and several others, plus their attacks and animations look very similar to brawl. Plus about half the stages are repeats. I don't believe it was built from scratch, I believe they remade a lot more than they are letting on. Plus lots of the music is the same as previous games.
2. The "dynamic range" comment is spot on. The joy and hook of super smash is the wide and varied move sets of each character. Each is unique, personal and fun to play with because they are so different in style of play. Clones are the antithesis to this idea. For that reason everybody hates clones.
3. Very little "innovate" gameplay has been derived from the unique opportunity for each player to have their own screen. What about a level where the platforms are placed in different areas on each person's screens and are invisible to other players? What about the camera zooming and focusing on just you instead, since the screen isn't being shared you don't need to always show the far edge of the screen. Touch screen controls? Second screen level?

An amazing game, that I and many will love and play for hundreds of hours, its just always a shame to see masters miss the obvious when they noses are buried in their work. There is always hope for patches, and I for one will be playing the Wii U version more simply due to controls, screen size, and less lag in online mode.

WTFFFF NOA I WANT MY NEW XL model!!! CRIES I assume i can't play US games on it?

Honestly just watching the videos by CTZeRo on his channel help a lot. He explains all the best strategies for the demo characters. Really helps! Its a lot about knowing when to use a quick or slow move, ground or air move.

I miss mario strikers! They need to make a 3rd one!

Im hoping its Animal Crossing meets Final Fantasy/ Dragon Quest...but we shall see.

Its causing mega hype beyond manageable levels. I felt like i was gonna explode.

Now that I got a code from my friend (never got mine even though I should have) I'm just so thirsty for the full game. Playing against CPUs on one stage is really fun, but i really want to play the whole game. I don't really see anyone being able to resist the full game. At least I can't imagine it.

This game is going to be so wacky and wild and crazy I can't wait! So many different play styles!

Thank GOD for Ness. Waiting for the Lucas reveal. I'm sure he will be added post release. I'm sorry but Ridley is NOT in guys, he was already confirmed as an onstage boss character like the Yellow Devil in the Mega Man stage.

YOU GUYS THE US DEMO IS PROBABLY GONNA BE RELEASED THIS FRIDAY DURING THE NINTENDO TREEHOUSE LIVE BROADCAST. OMG

@kenzo LOL WTF

Special competitive mode revealed Oh one can dream.
