I really hope the US commercials are just as effective. That AKB 48 ad was cool.

I don't think I understand what that trailer is about other than Miis.

[up]Well, the U.S. equivalent would be having them face a bunch of Miis based on singers from the U.S.

[up][up][up][up]What [up][up] said basically. AKB 48 is a very popular idol group in Japan. The point of the commercial (it's a TV ad, not a trailer) is to showcase that fact that Miis are in the game.

They also had a 3DS game feturing them (and, well, you) as Miis.

[up][up]Is it? The point of commercials is (mostly) to generate hype (and subsequently, profit) for the people that don't closely follow a product like more net denizens tend to do.

That said, if there was a similar commercial in the US, I'm unsure as to who they'd use (as I don't follow the celebrity scene).

The International version should be a bunch of YouTubers. Specificially, those who do a lot of Nintendo shit.

I mean, fuck the casuals, it's all about the hardcores. Okay, *maybe* they should also get a Dylan Sprouse Mii in it, but at least he's done a Smash commentary once.

The worst part about being surprised about an AKB 48 3DS game is that I shouldn't be.

I can't get both versions because reasons, so I gotta choose between smash on the go, and beautiful HD Smashing.

Choices, choices...Though right now I am kinda leaning on the 3DS version.

You should totes get the 3DS version. I mean, fuck HD graphics. I'm only getting them both for the soundtrack, otherwise it would have been 3DS first, Wii U way later. I don't have enough friends who want to come over and play Smash.

Considering Nintendo's current situation, I highly doubt they would let Sakurai make a 3DS version unless he gave the Wii U version something really good. As for what it could be, we'll just have to wait and see.

It's not characters because both games have the same roster and it's not a new story mode so I don't really care if the Wii U version gets 2 more stages than the 3DS version or whatever is different.

Hopefully Sakurai will talk about the Wii U features after the 3DS one is out.

Both versions were planned long before the Wii U's situation came to light. Nintendo wants both to be system sellers. Presumably we'll see more on the Wii U version after the 3DS version comes out. That's also when I expect to get a release date.

Yeah, I do wonder what the Wii U version could have. It doesn't have Smash Run and it even costs more than the 3DS version (if Amazon is to be trusted on that), which can't be entirely because of HD graphics. There's gotta be something major in there. Something big. inb4 Ridley

...

Just to be sure, it's not possibly possible that the statement on "no story mode" was misunderstood and he just meant that the 3DS version won't have one?

That commercial. I didn't know who the group was, so my first thought was "that outfit would be perfect for an Edea Lee Mii."

That'd kinda be preaching to the choir. I think they'd rather use a household name to broaden the appeal. Hard to think of a famous group with as many members as AKB 48 though, at least in the United States. Maybe the local, er... Sportball team? The Dallas... Texans?

Still extremely disappointed they haven't renamed them the Seattle Marioners.
