I really dig the smashing into the front of the TV Screen KOs.

Personally, I know the 3DS Version comes out first, but I'm just gonna get the Wii U Version. The graphics look better and I can use a Gamecube and/or Pro Controller.

Also, just look at that box art, what's not to love!?

No joke though I would like to see that Bandanna/Sunglasses combo as an alt for DK.

Go look up the opening cutscenes for the GameCube era golf and tennis games.

E2: Huh it's weird that Links is stepping out of a Tornado since he only used Tornados as a teleporter in like two games.

Always took it as a reference to the Gale Boomerang in Twilight Princess (for Brawl's); this Link is still pretty heavily the Twilight Princess one and not the Skyward Sword one.

He used a Tornado to travel on the NES zelda too, similar to how the Warp Whistle in Super Mario Bros 3 would warp you using a tornado.

Link has so many means of transportation.

I think riding in on Epona or an Ocarina of Time Warp Spell would be pretty cool.

I was thinking "yeah, that's what it must be for his Smash 64 intro" then I remembered, no, that's not his intro at all. He just sort of falls down in a glowy thing which... makes me want to think it's a reference to warping in OoT, but I'm not sure why and I can't even remember when it looked like in OoT.

Yeah it's an Ocarina reference. That's what it looked like when you teleported out of a dungeon after beating the boss.

Yeah I wouldn't mind DK's alt looks just him stealing from the other Kongs like Funky or Swanky.

I hear this sometimes, but it's not really true. Waluigi was just the first boss. Bowser was still the final boss.

Still his most prominent role to date though.

We also thought for sure they would reveal a character at the end of the E3 tournament, but they inexplicably didn't reveal Pacman until afterwards. Who knows with Nintendo! :v:

I'm still waiting for Waluigi World to come and establish his rivalry with Luigi. I like to think it's something like, Luigi's just bumbling along in every level and Waluigi comes and harasses him and he flails around and messes something up and hinders Waluigi's plans, and he's all 'Curses, that dastardly Luigi has foiled my plans again! I'll get him next time...'

Shaped like a friend

Waluigi hasn't had a interesting intro in what's likely 6+ years. The sports intros were good on the gamecube but the most he ever gets now is slightly amusing victory animations you're likely to skip after seeing them a couple times.

Sorry, Waluigi was only really developed cause of BitF, even the mods that try to add Waluigi to smash can only take from that comic.

I paid $50 for Other M on release and spent 2 hours trying to get my lauch-day Wii's dying disc drive to read the disc before I was able to start it up. I was so excited when I finally got it working.

I never bought another Wii game after that, out of spite.

I'd legitimately watch a Smash anime. Little vignettes of the cast hanging out with each other followed by a five minute segment of actual Smashing. Maybe a thing during or after the credits where obscure details of the actual game are pointed out.

We don't know, but it's likely to be similar to the invitational. The only thing that's known is that it's a 3DS version tourney and there's a big surprise thing coming on the stream (most people assume another character reveal).
