Super Smash Brothers 4 coming this summer (3DS) and winter (WiiU)

[StevenC]

I really wasn't expecting anymore updates until E3 for this game. I figured they'd just announce the rest of the lineup in one giant 2 hour SSBFWUa3DS Nintendo Direct.

Cool that Ike's back, now it's time to announce Roy.

Having Roy in the roster would be great. He still is my main character in Melee.

Good news about Ike, too. He's not a main of mine, but I like him a lot and I'm familiar with his moves. I'm happy to be able to use him in this game.

 

[StevenC]

I find it kind of odd that they haven't announced old characters like Captain Falcon or Ness. I mean, they've been in every other game, so they'll be in the game, along with the likes of Ganondorf and Falcon, just it's funny they haven't announced them. These days, Captain Falcon is more a SSB character than he is an F-Zero character.

Unless there's a new F-Zero game coming out and they want to make a big splash at E3?

Also, I see no reason not to have every character that has appeared in the series in the game. Bring back Mewtwo, Dr Mario, Pichu and Young Link, as well as Roy. Also, Plusle and Minun should be in the game. Pickachu/Pichu meets Ice Climbers.

Wii U Gamecube controller adapter! And hopefully, they'll make some more GC controllers, because mine are wearing out and there are still GC games I want to play.

really though who cares about this, there are a thousand good characters they could add to this that they wont. Everything was progress up until this point, now it will just be more of the same.

at first i thought this was the confirmed character list, and i was EXTREMELY excited but too bad nintendo cant do anything for og fans.

I'd save the bitching until the entire roster is released, probably at E3.

i lie though i am still excited for it lol

I doubt worthy characters like those from golden sun or any bad guy from mega man will be in the game. Im aware im whining a bit and that putting in mii and wii fit trainer are good for marketing but i cant deny to myself what the game would be like if they put nintendo characters that were made for fighting.

 

[StevenC]

^Mr Game & Watch is one of the most OG Nintendo characters ever, and he is not made for fighting.

The game will be better off with interesting new characters doing interesting new things. It's a game about Nintendo characters, so Wii Fit Trainer is just as relevant as Mario.

As cool as a Golden Sun character would be, I don't think the franchise is significant enough in Nintendo's history. Mega Man characters would be cool, but it was probably enough work just to get Mega Man himself in the game as a playable character.

LOL at that list. Altair. Gordon Freeman. Kratos. wat. Whoever made that list was likely drunk.

In any case, I, for one, am happy with the current roster. I never expected the more obscure characters and franchises to make an appearance (although that's always really cool). Honestly, it still surprises me until today that Solid Snake made it into Brawl he feels so off being in there. Even then, there are quite a few cool new features that I'd love to try out and that I feel enhance a lot of the gaming experience.

 

[StevenC]

I was looking through that list and laughed when I saw Akari Hayami!

Wave Race would not work in Smash Bros...

Though, now that we're talking about it, new Wave Race game, please?

i do agree with this as game and watch is one of my favorite brawl characters. It will be good i was upset initially.

GenGAME Wii U GameCube Controller Adapter Revealed by Nintendo, New Super Smash Bros. Tournament Details

Semi-related.

If this isn't TOO expensive, I don't have to worry about blowing like $180 on 3 Pro controllers.

 

[MFB]

Can't you only use one pro controller per WiiU anyways, so why buy extras?

Really? I never knew that.

 

[MFB]

Yeah, 99% sure that's the case and everyone else can use either the regular WiiMote/Nunchuk or Classic Controller

Silver lining: you just saved $180 by NOT buying them?

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

True. I already have a Wii Motion Plus remote and a classic pro controller. Could probably buy another WMP + CP controller if the time arises.

 

[StevenC]

You can use up to 4 Pro Controllers at once.

I have, like, 6 GC controllers, probably 8 Wiimotes and a Classic Controller. Don't have one of the Pro controllers yet, but my roommate has one and it's awesome. I was kind of excited for getting a bunch of them.

 

[InfinityCollision]

The music when they announce the GC controller adapter is gold

 

[StevenC]

October 3rd is not Summer! Not cool Nintendo.

That's the 3DS release date, FYI.
