Was Smash Run confirmed for online play? I know he said multiplayer but didn't know if that was online or not.

How big is the Earthbound Franchise in Japan?

I know over here it has a pretty big cult following and is beloved enough that people fan-translated Mother 3, but I'm always curious as to the series' popularity on its native soil.

I heard it's pretty big but not a lot of people liked Mother 3 for being super depressing. I remember a specific quote being "I don't know why they want it over seas. It's a alright game but it's just so moody" or something similar.

"Stinks" but yeah. It was a remarkably weird ad campaign, in an era where it was acceptable to make masturbation jokes in magazine ads for new joysticks, the Earthbound ads were their own special kind of strange.

Earthbound literally could only be bought brand new in that big box that came with a strategy guide. It definitely cost more for Nintendo to put out there than the average game.

I miss those ads. I recall some ad with a character talking to a girl in a bikini and I wanted to be a artist so I was trying to use the character as a reference. Ended up getting sent home from my classes because the teacher thought I was staring at the girl despite the sketches of said character right by me.

Latest ads I see these days are just the character standing by the title with a few screenshots.



Actually more on topic didn't the Itoi say that he wouldn't mind a mother 4 if it was made by fans? I could of sworn I saw that.

Wrt Smash clones and such, there's a smash rip off called Punch Time: Explosion, which stars cartoon network characters. Its an extremely blatant ripoff complete with final smashes and assist trophies.

I've heard this is fantastic and it's a very popular import, although I'm not sure if that's because it's legitimately a good game or if people just bought it because it's anime Super Smash Bros.

It's pretty fun, there are typical ring outs but you have a hp bar and there's a absolute assload of customization. I imported it ages ago and hell even it's online worked pretty well, only real complaints I can remember having were the fact that the stages were so big that it was easily possible to just walk off screen and have to search for the enemy.

Also another big difference is you could swap characters mid match. You were given a comic page to fill out and you could add playable characters, assists, buffs etc to it. Bigger the panel the better the character. (Goku for example would be normal if he took up 4 panels, but super if he took up 6 or something similar)

Recently they went 3D with Jstars Victory Vs and tried something new (and it's pretty goddamn good). If Smash ever goes 3D or has a spin-off I legit hope it's similar to Jstars Victory

Sitting here I realized Megaman is going to be in this game.

Do you think they'll try to give him a voice? I think the only one that doesn't grunt/talk is Samus (suit) and it feels like it would be kinda odd if he didn't make any kind of sound at all.

Have almost the entire roster open from the start, with the exception of Jigglypuff. Who still requires you to beat Classic Mode.

But yeah, I think it'd be good to have the 3DS version with unlockables, and the WiiU version without. It seems like a good setup; the surprise and anticipation is the best part, and it's not gonna be there by the time the WiiU version comes out.

Biggest surprise is "I'm the boss" mode, it's where four players are fighting and the player with the gamepad can control the boss characters that show up. You get to play as Ridley/Yellow Devil/etc :v:!

Oh I know about smear animations, it's more like her hand kind of spazzing out in one of the screenshots and Link's arm squishing horrifically in the other that's getting to me the most. In Brawl I remember Sakurai encouraging people to take screenshots and send them to him so telling people to pause all the time to check stuff like this out seems a bit suspect.

Personally I don't get the hype for Isaac. He starred in a RPG that makes Tim Buckley look like the master of crafting a story and the latest game did so poorly that as far as I know the sequel got poo poo canned. To me dude is lucky he even got to be a assist trophy, he'd be a sticker if it was up to me.

Samus' heels aren't offensive to anyone but those who understand the struggles of gender equality. Therefore most folks would see it and think "They gave a female character high heels! Neat! I can't wait to jump around and look at Samus' boobies :downs:"

I think Samus's heels are only offensive to people with really lovely thin skin tbh. People who get hung up on them are genuinely hilarious, when playing I don't know a single person who's going to be staring at her feet and crying while she flies around kicking and shooting people.

Edit: Seriously how does having jet heels in which she uses to kick peoples teeth in make her weaker? I'm not saying IT'S THE BEST DESIGN EVER 10/10 but people calling samus a bimbo or whatever is insane.

Some people never learned the meaning of the phrase "pick your battles."

I seriously know a person who refuses to watch Pendleton Ward cartoons because she finds them sexist. It's ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, if Samus was portrayed as her Other M self, crawling around crying and clinging to a male character yeah somethings hosed up and I'd genuinely find a problem with it but giving Samus jet boot/heels is just something dumb and silly. She can now fly around and kick people in the face, I can imagine it loving hurts to.

I think one reason I find it genuinely confusing is the same people throwing a fit about it are the same people I've seen ask for Bayonetta who is far, far more raunchier and has been doing the battle heels thing even longer (considering they're y'know. Guns.)

Having a hard time getting hyped up for Best Buy loving up running demo kiosks for a second year running. I'll probably just check out some of the UI stuff and the game in motion from the videos that'll come online from that. Curious if it'll be like the Brawl demos and feature. Reduced roster or if everyone announced will be playable.

Still hype for the game, but the Best Buy event last year was just so badly handled that i can't be assed.

Do they even allow footage of people playing the best buy demos if someone brings a camera? I recall them doing this last year but the only things I saw from it were the videos of Microsoft employees harassing dudes or whatever that whole debacle was.

No because in cutscene 20 (Two birds, One Time Machine in the movie viewer) of Mario's Time Machine it's heavily implied that Wario stole it to sell it and trap Mario in the past forever and we never see him sell it so he still has it.

Was Meta Knight really that important? The Halberd was important, sure, but Meta Knight himself wasn't anymore important than Ike or Marth.

I'll choose to consider him a big part as he is the owner of the Halberd and all. Guess if you wanna say that it doesn't count that's fair but his ship showing up everywhere brought him to mind in a lot of scenes.
