[up][up][up][up]Yeah, I can't understand why Smash Run would be exclusive to the 3DS version. I guess maybe Sakurai thought it would work better if each player can't see what the others are doing (even though it's based on a mode from a console game, but whatever)...although even then, that could still work with 2-person multiplayer on the Wii U version, by having one player use the screen on the gamepad.

Yeah, I'm sorta disappointed that Wii U version won't have Smash Run. I loved City Trial.

I'm going to use the strongest possible variation of Falcon Punch possible.

This is the most correct answer that anyone could possibly give.

They key words here for most people are going to be "trying to justify" and "Other M."

Ex-actly. Other M is a game I think that most people would prefer to be able to forget by this point. Trying to come up with a justification for the existence of something from a game people would rather wasn't included in the first place is kind of a loosing scenario.

It's also probably a big part of the reason why Dark Samus showing up - even as just an assist trophy - is kind of a big deal, because it shows that they haven't completely forgotten the Prime series (at least not entirely), which are Metroid games that are received in pretty much the exact opposite manner that MOM was.

I know I would certainly love it if Nintendo tried to forget Other M the way they forget other embarrassments from their past. Like the Virtual Boy. And the Super Mario Brothers movie. (and for reference, I actually like the Super Mario Brothers movie. Go figure!)

I assume Smash Run is 3DS-exclusive to avoid the need for split-screen, which, combined with SSB's somewhat zoomed out persective, doesn't sound great to me.

But yeah, it'd be ridiculous if 3DS gets Smash Run and all Wii U gets is My Music. Hopefully they'll announce at least one more Wii U-exclusive mode or feature to compensate.

[up]As today's Tomodatchi Direct demonstrates, Nintendo hasn't forgotten about the Virtual Boy at all.

[up][up]It releases six months later, so they have plenty of time. It would probably be a bad idea to focus this wave of marketing on the version coming out second.

[up]Considering Nintendo's tendency to announce release windows and then release games at the ass-end of said release windows, I'm guessing it's going to be more like 4 months, max.

EDIT: Wait, do you mean six months between the two games' releases, or just six months from now?

Well, the Wii U version might have a Subspace-Emissary-type game mode again, right?

As for Sheik's FS, maybe a bunch of Sheikah shooting arrows from the background. *shrugs*

That said, this is a little off-topic (sort of?) but... what happened to Brawl+? Did they get a cease-and-desist or something? I'm trying to get it running again, but the official website doesn't seem to function anymore and every alternative place I found so far to get it seems highly suspect.

No, we've already been told there's no adventure mode like SSE.

And I'm pretty sure Brawl + became Project M.

Oh gee, I'm not sure how I feel about that. I was pretty okay with the premise of keeping the changes subtle, since I still want to play it casually with some friends sometimes and I just want it to be decently balanced...

... But then I saw that it has Mewtwo, so...

We actually have just been told that there's no story mode, not no adventure mode. We could well get a version of SSE minus the cutscenes, or at least something like an expanded Melee Adventure.

I sure said that!

I wouldn't mind the former. I like that Smash Run actually has enemies from the games, and it's disappointing that they'll be limited to that.

I find it amusing that there's Chandelures as enemies. The idea of having Pokemon as mooks in Smash Bros. always struck me as sorta odd for some reason. I guess because you're supposed to fight them with your own Pokemon, not run up and punch their face in yourself.

Well, they suck your souls and burn them for fuel. So of course they would become mooks.

Now I am trying to imagine a Pokémon Ranger trying to capture Chandelure.

They should have added Chandelure as a playable character.

[up][up][up]Well, yes. But you can also have Mario or Captain Falcon run up and smash its face in. Something just amuses me about that.

PAL users: there is currently no release for PAL.
Son of a bitch.

Does... anyone have any other ideas?

Nope. From what I know, a lot of people in PAL regions are disappointed that there's no PAL version yet.

Igh, yeah, don't get confused here. Just talking about Brawl mods.

... guess I'll go back to trying to find some old versions of Brawl+. ._.

I'm really getting tired of getting hyped up about cool stuff only to find out later that I can't have it because I'm European.

Come on people, they're not going to restrict Smash to NA and Japan. This is the thing that's going to sell Wii Us. They can't afford to not release it everywhere.
