I recall Sakurai saying in an interview from around E3, that they weren't planning on utilizing the gamepad screen at all.
I would like if they had a mode where the player with the gamepad controls a boss while the other players fight it, though...although that's precluded by whether they bring back bosses in the first place...

Welcome to th:|Would you rather talk about Ridley?
In all seriousness, it's likely because Smash has a unique relationship with Fire Emblem and the fandoms tend to blend and talk because of that. Maybe.
Just a hypothesis.

Again, this is why I wish IS would just make a Fire Emblem fighting game so people can get whoever they want. And it still probably won't satisfy them if it was made because there's no way to include every single character.

We could always go back to having it loop into Zelda instead. That's always fun.
Returning to the villain topic for a bit, it'd be nice to see Petey Piranha return as a reoccurring boss/stage hazard or something. It'd be a good opportunity to show off some of its actual abilities as well.

"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyI could see the touch screen being used in breaking out of grabs, status effects (like being frozen). It might not be used at all though, this is the man who made a racing game that uses only one button.
Yes, yes, villains.Majora's Mask, Twin Rova, Metroid Prime/Dark Samus, Ashera, Deathborn, Don Genie, Black Shadow, Zoda, Achi/Kachi, Pious Augustus, Kaiser Vlad, Space Demon, Dynal, Captain Syrup, Orcos.
I hope Sakurai's hands do not prevent him from making more video games in the future. I would not mind an Uprising following following Of Myths And Monsters.
Buldogue's lawyerI'd like to see Hades be the villain of a story mode (He's got enough power that it wouldn't feel odd or self-indulgent for him to be top dog over other Nintendo villains, being a god and all), but if we aren't getting a full-fledged story mode I'd rather not waste him on it.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Honestly, Tecmo Koei should have made Fire Emblem Warriors.
Replace. Assist. Trophies?
Not likely. They'd have to make one of these plush models for each and every character.

Because with his power of Great Lord he gains the ability to give Death Glances.
If it helps, in Far Cry 3, if you are too close to an explosion you get shrapnel lodged in your arm.

Playables are always confirmed on the website, he's said, so that was pretty much an implicit denial of him being playable.
Hey, how do you guys think the Wii U gamepad and the 3DS touchscreen will be utilized in the game?
