Big Fresh Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 The outrage is too much skin. Though this costume came from Metroid: Zero Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 My dreams are finally coming true... I can now use Super Smash Bros. to stomp out communists all around the world. I will end the Red Scare once and for all... through Smash Bros!! AMERICA!!!!! I wasn't expecting to see the NES Open Tournament Golf costume make an appearance. I wonder if Luigi has one too.

Big Fresh Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 By the way, this was SUPPOSEDLY leaked from the ESRB. Take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 The leak appears to be real. Here's some videos of Bowser Jr. (Fighting in a Bowser car) and Shulk. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsKwxhG3ioc6FDKupmlVHZQ/videos Plus about 40 pictures: Imgur.com/a/PzeCw The leaker has also stated that Dixie Kong and Mewtwo are the last 2 characters. He didn't have them unlocked when he took the above screen shot. But hasn't supported that with pictures or video yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I would just like to say that "Duck Hunt" is a really inspired idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah it is. I'm excited to try out Duck Hunt, Bowser Jr., Greninja, Little Mac and Pac-Man. My only disappointments are the cuts of Ice Climbers (apparently the 3DS could not handle the two characters), the not-yet-confirmed Mewtwo (PLEASE! Brawl was so rough on me without my main character!), and Wolf. Really, who would rather have Falco over Wolf? Falco still plays a lot like Fox. Wolf was completely different. And awesome. Though he's rumored for DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I really don't know why Dr. Mario and Dark Pit weren't just costumes though. I suppose it's possible they'll have movesets to make them non-clones, but I sincerely doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salads Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Wolf was completely different. And awesome. Though he's rumored for DLC. That would be a first for Nintendo using DLC in that way if true. Will believe it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 They're getting better about DLC. They'd doing this Mercedes-Benz stuff for Mario Kart this week, Pikmin 3 had some additional challenge maps available, etc. Smash characters are just a natural fit for it.

Big Fresh Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yep. No offense, Salad, but that's kind of outdated talking point. It's definitely happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 since we don't have a Mario Kart thread, i'm hijacking this one to say that i'm super psyched for the Mario Kart 8 DLC. i've got it preordered already. Went ahead and downloaded the Mercedes car pack also, since it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salads Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yep. No offense, Salad, but that's kind of outdated talking point. It's definitely happening. I never said Nintendo doesn't do DLC. I said it would be a first for Nintendo using DLC in that way. They've always been very vocal about doing DLC right and 'pay just $x to get the rest of the game!' wouldn't fall into that. PIkmin 3's challenge maps, Fire Emblem's extra stories, Mercedez-Benz karts etc are all trivial extras. They've been doing new pokemon DLC since '96, but because they're integral to the game they're still leaving money on the table by giving them away for free. I didn't think they'd add new characters and courses to Mario Kart for this reason, but the packages revealed so far have novelty and (I know this is the wrong term for a game like Mario Kart) non-canon theming to frame them as distinct from and arguably even clashing with the original retail content. Extra characters for Smash could happen but 1) it's a lot harder to argue that an incomplete fighting game roster is fully satisfactory as a standalone product, 2) not only are Sakurai games famously stufffed-to-the-brim with content but in Smash finding and unlocking that content is a key part of the game and 3) they've already spurned an easy chance to milk money out of the game by making Amiibos completely non-essential.

Big Fresh Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Adding extra characters or stages is not paying to complete the game. It's extra. And completely optional. I have no idea what you're talking about. Paying a few bucks to get Link in Mario Kart (which happened, he'll be out in November) is no different than paying a few bucks to get Wolf in Smash Bros.

Salads Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 For fighting games, the characters are the game. People begrudgingly buy fighting game revisions because they come with extra characters. This entire thread has been hopes, reveals and speculation about the roster and little else. The roster decides whether people buy the game, what abilities the player has and what the player has to do to get good. You said it yourself - Wolf plays completely different, so if you don't have Wolf you are missing out, but Link in Mario Kart doesn't change shit. He's a costume. He's horse armour. And 'It's extra. And completely optional.' could be said of every piece of DLC ever released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 if you don't have Wolf you are missing out, And 'It's extra. And completely optional.' could be said of every piece of DLC ever released. And if I don't buy a gallon of milk, I'm missing out on milk. What's your point? You're buying a complete package when you pay your $60. It's already the largest roster in Smash Bros history. If you want even more characters, you'll have the option to buy them. You're basically just an anti-DLC guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already the largest roster in Smash Bros history. If you want even more characters, you'll have the option to buy them. You're basically just an anti-DLC guy. You do understand that I've been trying to explain to you Nintendo's DLC policy (which has been stated outright, upheld 100% to date and appears to exclude holding back members of the Smash character roster for DLC unless it was a free update) and not embarking on some bizarre tirade at somebody on a message board for suggesting that Nintendo would dare act against my personal preferences, right? I thought you were going to come back and explain how you thought extra characters in Smash could fit into that policy because I was interpreting it wrong, or maybe that Mario Kart 8 was a sign that financial woes had persuaded them to abandon it (both possible), but apparently all DLC is the same anyway because it's all extra so giving examples of what types of DLC a publisher would find more acceptable than others and why is a sign of someone hating all DLC / games / capitalism.

Salads Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I was going to buy the game when it came out but you've successfully spooked me into holding off because yes, I will inevitably buy any DLC if it has non costume swap character additions (I would have left a DLC Dr Mario to rot.)
