Don't know why they'd start the opening with Shulk. It almost always begins with Mario.

Well I wasn't expecting much in the way of movies. The gameplay should be enough to keep my attention.

8-player Smash, Smash Tour, Special Smash and playing with my 3DS. I might not even get the Gamecube controller adapter...

I'm probably most interested in Special Orders, since, well, Smash Tour looks kinda shallow.

I sure said that!

Between the recent releases on the Wii U and the announced games for it, I'm really glad the consoles been getting a lot of attention lately.

Anyway, does anyone else here like having to think that the Announcer is Master Hand, especially for the 50(+4)-Fact Extravaganza, just for the mental image of Master Hand hyping up BUTTONS and SOUNDS?

And yes, the Announcer does refer to Master Hand by name, but I'd think Master Hand would be the kind of guy who would sometimes like to refer to himself in the third person.

[up]How about Events? I like the new tree system they have going on there.

I was speaking strictly of new modes, though, yes, the event system looks nifty. I might need to consider springing for an amiibo to handle the second half of them, if online co-op isn't an option.

I might end up pleasantly surprised by there being more depth to Smash Tour than there seems to be, but I'm not getting my hopes too high up.

[up][up]Hasn't his VA been the announcer's in every game prior to this anyway?

EDIT:[down], [down][down]; I know, I meant every announcer has been his voice as well.

Yes, but we've had four announcers and four Master Hands as a result.

... I really hope Xander stays around though. He's great.

It's reportedly changed between games; they all just generally use the same exact tone of voice.

Also, wow, the clone form Master Core takes is actually called Master Shadow. Those Persona 4 jokes seem a touch funnier.

[up]Not really exact, but Xander's tone is really similar to Cashman's.

[up][up][up] Yup, Master Hand has been voiced by the Announcer's voice since 64. And so is Crazy Hand, since Melee.

I nailed half the names for Master Core's Swarm forms and feel kinda proud as a result! Shadow and Beast...! Were pretty obvious, all things considered. Master Edges and Master Giant were a touch trickier and I didn't call them.

I sure said that!

I called them Blades and Terror or Monster- It changed sometimes, just to be clearer- respectively.

Blades and Edges are kinda close, and... I honestly kinda like the more abstract name I came up with than Master Giant.

And yes, Master Edges is a real pain to fight.

...Now I'm trying to imagine actual Persona 4 shadow versions for all the Smash characters. Barring Pit since Dark Pit kinda already is one anyway.

Frasier from Video Games Awesome kind of had a good point: A significant chunk of the Direct was Nintendo saying, "Wow, let's face it, the 3DS version blows dead rats compared to the Wii U!"

They're going to want their less successful system's version match or exceed the sales of their already established one, of course.

We're also skipping over the fact that the 3DS game is the core elements of the Wii U game EXCEPT YOU CAN TAKE IT EVERYWHERE WITH NO SACRIFICE IN PERFORMANCE.

Well, of course.

But from a technical standpoint, holy shit they stuck a Wii U game on the 3DS and the really important stuff didn't get lost in the transfer. Everything runs smooth as silk and handles identically to the home version.

Well, mechanically speaking, they ported a Wii game onto the 3DS and Wii U. Which, looking at what happened to Xenoblade (which still required enhanced hardware), is still an impressive accomplishment.

Regarding Master Core's sword form, the European Direct actually gave it a different name: Master Sabres. And no, I don't know why the directs were different in such minor ways.

So I honestly wonder why Yoshi's Wooy World got a stage even though the game isn't going to be out anytime soon. Some people would have like to be a Kirby's Epic Yarn stage instead.

Oh yeah, I forgot, Sakurai hardly considers any Kirby game past Air Ride existing.

Only sometimes posts

Some would prefer epic Yarn.

As the stage appears to use nothing specific to either game world, I kind of prefer the Woolly World aesthetic, myself.

Anyway, Sakurai does occasionally throw in post Air Ride stuff. He replaced Kirby's final smash with the Ultra Sword power, and I noticed a Lor Starcutter trophy in the direct.

Though, a Lor Starcutter stage would be really cool, if a bit derivative of Halberd, or various Star Fox stages.
