So, Amazon is saying that my Marth amiibo is being delayed because of an issue with the carrier, but tracking information says that it departed a carrier facility this morning and I got the delay message last night. So, could it be a glitch that Amazon's site is giving me (because it hasn't updated the delivery status to "Arrived" for my Captain Falcon and Pit amiibos), or could there be something legit?

Also, my Game Cube controller adapter shipped and is estimated to arrive on Monday.

That was a pretty infamous one. Ahh, brings back memories of reading video game magazines and seeing collages of James Bond jumping around with Mario and Link on Brinstar. Wouldn't be surprised if his wanted-inclusion inspired some of the moveset for Snake.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

All those requests for anime characters don't look so ridiculous now, do they?

No, they're still ridiculous. James Bond's consideration was likely due to the massive popularity of Goldeneye 007. The Cloaking Device or the Motion Sensor Bomb, I forget which one, comes from that game as well.

There was also a Swapnote stage planned for Smash 4. I can't help but wonder if that idea was dropped due to Nintendo having to stop the wifi service for it.

Sounds like Swapnote was the 3DS counterpart to Miiverse.

I find that it's pretty kick-ass that James Bond was considered for Melee. It might have led to us getting anime/comics/cartoon/Star Wars characters for Brawl and 4. Keyword is might.

If Darth Vader isn't in the next incarnation of Super Smash, I'll be severely disappointed.

I'm most interested in the fact that Heihachi was considered for Smash Bros 4. He would have been the first fighter to be in Smash and Playstation All Stars, though that's probably why they cut him. They most likely didn't want his moveset being too similar to his Playstation All Stars one and didn't know how to differentiate it from that. His Mii costume was most likely included as the next best thing.

Lots of interesting tidbits in that article. I feel like that scrapped racing mini game for Smash 64 was probably what became Top Ride in Kirby's Air Ride.

I finally did the "Clear 20 turns of Crazy Orders with Mario" challenge

God this took so long.

I completed all of the 9.0 Classic challenges across both versions, except for the one that requires you to complete 9.0 without losing a single life.

Picking up Marth was probably the best thing I've done in recent memory. Sure, Classic on higher difficulties is a bunch of RNG bullcrap for the most part, but I managed to do the Marth challenge without any customizations.

I was surprised when I completed that challenge the first time I completed 9.0 as Marth. With all the fluff (results screens, picking the right opponents to fight, hearing the announcer say their names), it must have taken me at least twenty minutes to do.

Man, I wish the Miiverse stage was moderated more closely. I just had a match with my brother and my cousin. They were Mario and Sonic, I was Jigglypuff.

Nearly all of Mario's "cheers" were various jeers, saying things like (paraphrasing all of these) "mario sux", "Luigi's better", "You better lose", and "SEGA does what Nintendont". The only cheer he got was just a "YAHOO".

Sonic wasn't any better: he got a couple of good cheers (or memes like "& Knuckles" and the one image from Sonic Unleashed), but he was still getting a lot bad press (most likely due to his Tier Induced Scrappy status).

Meanwhile, the only negative thing I got as Jigglypuff was something like "Leffen is better than you". Everything else was either cute and/or poorly drawn images in support of Jiggs (mostly based on her anime version with the marker) or just generic "you can do it" type stuff.

We had a laugh about it all, of course (my brother took a photo of some of the Mario ones and my cousin pretended to be deeply wounded by the Sonic ones by repeatedly SD'ing off the stage near the end of the match), but I'm just surprised that we had a match where one of the characters basically got nothing but jeers.

Miiverse is weird, I've had times where it looked to be pretty clean and others where it was just a lot of spam.

There's some gems in there at least, some of the drawings are really awesome.

I've seen a lot of jeers on Miiverse. I've seen it with Mario, Wario, Meta Knight, Lucina, and Dark Pit. Though it is a thing with just about everyone. I kinda don't go on the stage much anymore because of this shit.

They're not going to clear miiverse of posts unless they violate rules. Jabs at characters is perfectly fine.

It's miiverse, expecting everything to be overwhelmingly positive was asking for too much.

Unfortunately. This just happened to be the first time I've played the stage and had one character's posts be almost entirely negative. tongue The few times I do play the stage, I usually end up with half and half depending on the character.

The jeers are pretty equally distributed, so it doesn't really bother me. I'm sure maybe Dark Pit and a few others get more hate on average, but what can you do. It's a fun stage and I like seeing art of the characters appear in the background.

Fun fact: I've seen way more sexy Bowser than I have of any other character. People like that spicy dad.
