From personal experience doing concept art for student projects: A lot of concept artists are of course heavily inspired by the video games they love, so he probably did this as a personal portfolio piece almost liken to that of a fan art piece, just so he could add it to his portfolio. If he is looking to get hired he can't show a portfolio of "unannounced projects" so he probably had to make some "theoretical" concepts just to show his skill, as he probably is not allowed to show most of his work.
This game has so much potential! Just think about all the possible pokemon and their move sets! I could see it becoming a serious fighting game, rivaling street fighter even!
You guys this is a FAIR PRICE: argument: Have you ever seen the prices of anime figurines (aka Nendoroids?) they are crazy expensive, about $40 each.
I saw the Amiibos in person and have to say they are beautifully made, and very high quality. I am comfortable paying $13. Probably will get about 3 to start out with. If you guys are the type to have to buy all of them well sorry but thats how they get you! Its not about spending $200 to buy all of them its about getting your favorite character(s)
the small one has a .3in larger screen size. which if noticeable then ill just upgrade to that. i just have bad eyesight and don't want to have to wear glasses so i may get the xl version as planned. the faceplates doe!
i have the original 3DS, and was planning on getting the New XL, but i might get the new 3DS as it has at least a tiny bit larger screen and these look so beautiful
WTF BOWSER JUNIOR? I thought he would use a paintbrush like in Mario Sunshine....
As for the DLC, I just cannot see Snake returning, nor the Chorus men being included. If the ice climbers (2 characters) is hard enough, how will 3 units work?
Thank you for this detailed explanation of this fiasco. Its causing a major stir (mostly negative IMO) would have loved to see the reveal the Sakurai way. I personally see the DLC list as b.s however. I'm starting to think this leaker has an incomplete version of the game, with certain characters being a day 1 update.
@IxC Yes he did say there would be no DLC, there shouldn't be things in the game only certain people have. So I think if these characters are going to be added late it will just be an update, not paid DLC.
I want these so bad! I just want them as decorations! The pikachu and kirby as well as samus were exceptionally well done and very smooth. I also hope there is a ness one. UGH ITS GONNA COST ME SO MUCH!!!
i know people have mixed feelings on remakes, but I'm a huge zelda fan and Majora's Mask is one I missed. It will be a new game for me! SO I HOPE ITS GONNA BE SOON! Or I may have to get something off the shop
@B3ND3R Exactly! As for the best characters in smash, its all up to Sakurai, who loves kirby and kid icarus, as well as being a huge fan of metroid series. So obviously those characters are going to be fairly good. His bias has always given his characters the upper hand. But seriously the pro players are all talk.
I live in San Diego and waited in line for about 3 and a half hours and didn't get to play the WiiU version. I resorted to cutting (sorry folks) to play the 3DS version, which was sooooo LAGGY that our 2 minute match took about 5 minutes, and was all around a disaster...
But the "hardcore" gamers in line were priceless. "They better have fox's 1 frame shine!...etc." and they didn't even own a wii u or 3ds so i didn't really understand why they would wait in line in the first place.
I loved the nintendo treehouse because they really got into the grit of the games, especially for smash. i feel like i actually know what the games are like versus seeing the trailers and previews.
Wow I'm kinda surprised by all the hate for Lindsey Sterling! Although I could see some people not enjoying it, I always find the exotic nature locals to be really fun and and a beautiful backdrop. She does seem to be overly "sugary" and pixie-ish, but it doesn't bother me. She seems to have a lot of fans, her album was #1 on iTunes in the US when it came out a few weeks ago. I love how people equate being successful in the entertainment industry to selling out. They kinda go hand in hand.
All i know is that I would prefer a 3Ds with 720p on a 3dsxl size screen from the get go, with a thinner profile. It would then plug into the home base to play on the tv.
Nintendo has always done better at handhelds. Just look at the japanese market, they always go for the portable system. I see cross play being a big part of it.

Re: Nintendo Shows Off 38 "Kisekae Plate" Changeable Covers For New Nintendo 3DS
This is such a smart idea I'm laughing at how long into the 3DS's life it has taken for them to think this up.

Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Patch The Controversial Fire Hopping Technique In Mario Kart 8?
if every person online starts hopping around constantly then I'm gonna have to ask for a patch...it just doesn't look right.
However, I do use hopping if i end up on the grass or dirt, it lets you get onto the track faster because there is less drag.

Re: Nintendo's Plan for "Redefining the Definition of Video Game Platforms" Around Two Years Away
All i know is that I would prefer a 3Ds with 720p on a 3dsxl size screen from the get go, with a thinner profile. It would then plug into the home base to play on the tv.
