I was updating the Mario Kart 8 topic on the Mario Kart board and was looking for the trailers. It seems that Waluigi was in the reveal trailer back at the E3 Nintendo Direct last year.

I'm also updating the roster for that game in that topic I brought up earlier. It's pretty big so far after this new trailer.

Sakurai announced from todays "Picture of the day" update that there will be a Nintendo Direct completely focused on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. It's a little early to be making this topic but I had to get the word out since it's one of two games people are waiting to buy a Wii U for. The other being Mario Kart 8 but that'll be handled in a topic I made yesterday.

The Smash Bros. Direct will happen next tuesday (April 8th) at 6pm Eastern (3pm PST, 4pm Mountain, 5pm Central, 11pm EU). You'll be able to watch it on the official Smash Bros site where he puts the "pic of the day" at  smashbros.com

Like usual I will gather the info after it is over, most likely from Gonintendo and post it here for all 5 of you to see. We'll see ya then! Afro


You can either watch it here:
http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/04-08-2014/


Here is the full presentation:

Well, Greninja is neat and the custom moves sound cool - but they're screwing the Wii U even more by releasing their biggest WU game 6 months after the 3DS version.  Roll Eyes

This is the info gathered from the Super Smash Bros. Direct.

Release Date (Window): 3DS version- Summer 2014, Wii U version- Winter 2014
 - 3DS version runs at 60fps in 3D
 - some assist trophies will run at 30fps
 - fighter lineup the same between both games, but the stages will be different
 - in the 3DS version, each stage has 2 songs tied to it
 - in the Wii U version, visit My Music to play songs from past Smash games

- past stages returning in both versions
 - Dr. Wily castle stage has the Yellow Devil attack the fighters at random times. The last person to get the final hit on the Yellow Devil will net them a massive explosion attack hurting all other players.
 - boss characters appear in other stages as well

- Both versions of the game will have online play
 - For Fun and For Glory online play modes when not playing with friends. For Fun includes random stage (except Final Destination) and items. You can also set parameters as you choose. Number of victories will be recorded. For Glory only lets you play only Final Destination. No items will be available here either.


- online play will now show Nintendo Network IDs. Online play will try to combat people that try to drop out of matches and may even ban them.


- online play will have a scoring competition. This will include scores for solo modes. This is called Global Smash Power. The larger the number, the better the player. This is compared to players worldwide. No rankings for online multiplayer, but matchmaking based on skill levels.


- Almost every stage has a Final Destination form

- There is a Master Ball item that summons rare and Legendary Pokémon. Arceus is confirmed as one of them.

- Samus' suit will no longer fall off after her Final Smash. Zero Suit Samus is still included on the roster, though. She now has jet boots.
 - Zelda now has a Phantom Slash move that brings in a guard from Phantom Hourglass. Sheik also returns with burst grenade and bouncing fish moves.
- Kirby now has a Hammer Flip attack and an Ultra Sword final smash.
- King Dedede no longer throws Waddle Dees. He hits Gordos at you now.
 - Lucario's aura attack has been strengthened. He also has a Mega Evolution
 - Olimar can only have 3 Pikmin following him. Olimar now plucks Pikmin in a fixed order. He now uses winged Pikmin for his recovery jump.

- Pit has had the glide move removed. Three sacred treasures as the final smash
- Yoshi is returning and now stands more upright
- Rosalina can shoot out the Luma and control it separately, if wanted. They each have a different set of moves. She has a Star Bits move, a launch star long distance move, a gravitational pull that draws in items and blocks enemy shots, and a power star final smash.
 - Little Mac has a Smash Attack that has megaton levels, but he is very weak in the air. He also has a terrible recovery ability. His power meter is filled up by other landed punches. It even gets filled when he gets hit by other attacks. The meter fills to a KO uppercut, a one-hit kill punch. Transforms into Giga Mac as a final smash. Wireframe Mac is an alternate costume. Punches called Straight Lunge, Joly Haymaker, Rising Uppercut, Slip Counter
 - Villager moves include Pocket, Lloid Rocket, Balloon Trip, Timber and Dream Home

- Mega Man's final smash brings in multiple version of Mega Man over the ages to combine for a mega blast. Moves include Charge Shot, Spark Shock, Flame Blast, Flame Sword, Slash Claw, Air Shooter, Hard Knuckle, Super Arm, Metal Blade, Crash Bomber, Leaf Shield, Rush Coil.
 - Wii Fit Trainer can use the sun salutation and store it up. She can also use deep breathing to strengthen. Both male/female versions are available and both are the same power level.

- custom move sets allowed online with friends or local, but not online with strangers

 Smash Run is a 3DS-only mode in Smash Bros. 3DS. It's a 4-player battle game where you search a dungeon for power-ups. Has a time limit of 5 minutes. Each type of power-up has its on effects and give new strengths. After the 5 minutes are up, a battle takes place between the 4 players. You can enter this mode by choosing what power-ups you want from your collection. Features enemies from all sorts of game series'. Has a random fighter option as well.
^It's like City Trial in Kirby Air Ride.




- Charizard and Greninja will also be playable characters


I'm pretty sure that was it. I didn't get done watching it until a few minutes ago.

This is a pretty successful 3DS game that has been out in Japan. Here's the video of the direct. It's only about 11 minutes and I suggest watching it to get the gist of what's going on in it.



Here's a press release about it.
Quote from:  Nintendo PR
In Tomodachi Life for Nintendo 3DS, Mii Characters Join Your Dream-World Starring Your Real-World Friends

 REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Take all your preconceived notions about life’s possibilities, crumple them into a ball and toss them out the window. It’s time to star in a whole new life. On June 6, visit the outrageously bizarre island world of Tomodachi Life for the Nintendo 3DS system. Everyone you know, and everyone you wish you knew, should prepare to meet their Mii maker – you! – as you build a bustling fantasy population of friends, family and even celebrities, all in one wild and hilarious world. The real emotional connection you already share with your Mii characters will keep you glued to the drama, intrigue and hilarity that ensues as everyone goes about their extraordinary daily lives, evolving and interacting in unpredictable and often uproarious ways.

 The Tomodachi franchise already has taken Japan by storm, selling more than 5.5 million games. Its first North American title, Tomodachi Life, is poised to stake out unprecedented video game territory when it launches June 6. Nintendo announced more details today in a special Tomodachi Life-themed Nintendo Direct. To view the Nintendo Direct in its entirety, visit http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct.

“Nintendo fans are familiar with Mii characters, but now they come to life in ways they never have before – with their own lives, interests and personalities,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Customization and open-ended play are two big video game trends for 2014, and Tomodachi Life delivers a fun, creative experience that makes you want to visit again and again, because there’s always something interesting going on.”

 “Tomodachi” is the Japanese word for “friend.” After completely customizing all your Mii characters, from their voices and appearances right down to their personality quirks, you’ll recognize them instantly. But you can’t possibly predict what they’ll do next. For the first time ever, Mii characters behave based on the personality traits you select, playing out the drama you set in motion. A celebrity might fall in love with your math teacher. Your mom might jump on stage to belt out heavy metal songs. Or you could become famous striking poses down the runway of a fashion show wearing cute and silly outfits. Best of all, you can document these unbelievable moments for posterity and share them all with your friends via the Nintendo 3DS Image Share service.

 Even your far-fetched celebrity dreams can come true in Tomodachi Life. If you have ever wanted international superstar Christina Aguilera to join you in a sing-off, or believed that she would become BFFs with your cousin or wished she would perform a song with your customized lyrics, it could happen here. The multi award-winning singer has signed on to be a part of Nintendo’s promotional campaign for the game, and her Mii character will be available at launch. Aguilera’s Mii character also will guest star in a TV commercial and in online videos that show all the exciting things that happen when celebrities mingle with Miis players know personally. The first video in the series can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/sBTHSY5GKKY/. Additional celebrities involved with Tomodachi Life will be announced over the upcoming weeks.

 The plot of Tomodachi Life thickens with the addition of each Mii character. As they deliver one gripping twist and turn after another, you can reward them with in-game gifts and clothes, their favorite foods or special flourishes for their apartments. Together you can further broaden your Tomodachi Life horizons by exploring the island, solving characters’ problems and helping them with their needs.

 Additional information about Tomodachi Life will be revealed in the future. For the latest updates, visit http://tomodachi.nintendo.com. The game will play on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 2DS systems, and will be available in stores and in the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS and on Nintendo 2DS at a suggested retail price of $34.99.

The game comes out on June 6th in North America.

Randomly happened today. DG posted some info about the North American Wii U Mario Kart 8 Bundle and free game deal in his topic earlier: http://wiiunite.smfforfree3.com/index.php/topic,25504.0.html

But now it's time to share a bunch of info about Mario Kart 8, "Directly" to you!

Full Direct:



Nintendo NoA Press Release:
Quote
Revealed: Wii U Bundle, Free Game Offer, Online Features, New Items and Racers

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- One month from today, Mario Kart 8 will be driving players wild with anti-gravity racing action. To get people revved up for the Wii U game, Nintendo released a new Nintendo Direct video that announced some additional news nuggets, including a Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle, a free downloadable game offer for Wii U owners who buy Mario Kart 8, details about online features, cool new characters and devastating new items.



"Everyone loves Mario Kart," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "It's a franchise that brings people together for fun at a family gathering, a frenzied race against friends or just an afternoon break at the office. The numerous new features of Mario Kart 8 make this the most ambitious version yet, and one that will have players of all skill levels racing for the checkered flag."

To view the Nintendo Direct in its entirety, visit http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct. Some of the new information announced today included:

Mario Kart 8 Wii U Bundle: People who don't yet own a Wii U system will find it easy to get in on the action. On May 30 Nintendo is releasing the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Set bundle that includes a Wii U Deluxe Set system, a Mario Kart 8 game, a red Mario Wii Wheel accessory and a red Mario Wii Remote Plus controller, all at a suggested retail price of just $329.99.

Get a Free Digital Game: People who buy Mario Kart 8 and register the game with Club Nintendo before July 31 will receive a free Nintendo eShop download code for an additional Wii U game. Players can grow their Wii U digital game collections by choosing from one of these well-received Wii U games: New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD or Wii Party U. That's a two-for-one deal featuring some of the all-time great Wii U games. This offer also applies to people who get the game in the Mario Kart 8 bundle or digitally in the Nintendo eShop.

Online Multiplayer: Up to 12 players can race together online in four different multiplayer modes, as long as everyone has a broadband Internet connection. Like to trash-talk your friends while you're preparing for a race? You're in luck! Mario Kart 8 lets players chat with one another in the lobby area using the Wii U GamePad microphone or text phrases as they wait for their friends to join. Players also can create public or private tournaments for which they specify the day of the week, the time and the rules. Per tradition, players will be able to race against ghost data from friends or even the top 10 worldwide racers. They can try to beat them or just pick up a few tips and tricks from studying the best. If you beat the development team's ghosts, you'll get cool stamps for use in Miiverse posts.

Mario Kart TV: As previously announced, players can watch their highlight racing reels, rewind them, play them in slow motion or upload them to Miiverse. They can watch the world's most popular highlight reels and comment on them. But players with Google accounts can also upload their reels directly to their YouTube channels.

New Items: Items are what make Mario Kart games so balanced. No matter how skilled racers are, they're just a blue Spiny Shell away from disaster. A well-timed item can also turn defeat into victory in an instant. The new Super Horn blows away all other items - literally. Sounding the Super Horn issues forth a sonic shock wave that blasts away everything in the vicinity, including other drivers, Red Shells and even blue Spiny Shells. It's a potent asset, especially for drivers trying to maintain their lead. Mario Kart 8 also introduces the Crazy Eight, a swirl of eight different items that lucky players can use one by one.

New Racers: Two new playable female characters make their debut appearances in Mario Kart 8. New heavyweight driver Pink Gold Peach glows with a golden light and makes a nice counterpart to Metal Mario. Baby Rosalina shows up for a play date with other Baby characters. As in past Mario Kart games, players can again choose to play as their Mii characters, which rounds out the field of racers to an even 30.

Mario Kart 8 is now available for pre-order at major retailers throughout North America. A deposit may be required for pre-orders. See individual retailers for details. For more information about Mario Kart 8, visit http://mariokart8.nintendo.com.

Remember that Wii U features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu.


A side note- Europe kinda gets a better deal on the free games thing as they get to choose between 10 games.
- Nintendo Land
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii U version)
- GAME & WARIO
- Pikmin 3
- The Wonderful 101
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
- Sonic Lost World (Wii U version)
- Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games
- Wii Party U

^This is for Europe, remember that.

Now we can continue with the info. This is from IGN so it may have been covered in the direct or the PR already.

IGN-
- Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach confirmed
- Crazy 8 is an item just like Mario Kart 7’s Lucky 7
- Super Horn item can knock out other players or destroy incoming shells (including Blue)
- Super Horn will be a very rare item
- supports voice chat in lobbies for games with friends only
- select an icon and input a name for when you use Create-a-Tournament
- select rules for a tournament (speed, teams, number of wins and more)
- set a tournament to be public or restricted to friends
- you can also restrict control schemes used in a race, whether computer players can fill in empty slots, and even vehicle types
- set up a race so only players who achieved a certain online rank can join
- complete tournament creation to get a number code to share with your friends
- this code can also be discovered publicly via search
- set up daily, weekly, or monthly recurring tournaments
- you can also set start and end times
- choose which item sets are allowed in a race
- options include all items, shells only, bananas only, mushrooms only, bob-ombs only, no items
- Frantic Mode means more likelihood of Lightning Bolts, Bullet Bills, and Blue Shells
- the game records every race that you participate in
- it will save the events of the last 12 you competed in on the Wii U itself
- edit clips down to 30, 45, or 60 seconds
- you can also render a highlight reel to display the full race
- share the video via Miiverse or YouTube in HD
- sign up/in with a Google Account to share via YouTube
- add stamps to Miiverse posts
- battle mode takes new and existing courses and re-engineers them for battle
- battle mode replays can also be edited and shared
- GamePad will mirror the TV in 4-player multiplayer


Here's a battle mode video:
http://youtu.be/yRq9bqj-eRk/





That'll be all that I post in this edition of the topic. There were a bunch of preview videos so I'll save that for the Mario Kart discussion topic.


My take on all of this:
It's amazing. Glad Miis are back in and iffy on Baby Rosalina (even though she was joked about) and Pink Gold Peach. I at least wanted Dry Bones back since he was my man in Mario Kart Wii. I like the vehicle balancing they did so Bikes aren't OP anymore. Voice Chat in friend lobbies is a plus. Like the Youtube thing too since I might actually use it. Online seems to be looking pretty nice.
