Nintendo’s E3 Schedule Revealed

Nintendo’s E3 Schedule Revealed

, , , , , , 0

Nintendo was unexpectedly the first of the Big Three game companies to reveal their full schedule for this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. It doesn’t give specifics, but the vague outline sounds promising. For one thing, the festivities will begin one day early! E3 doesn’t commence until June 12, but on June 11, Nintendo will be hosting the Splatoon 2 World Championship. Opening rounds will begin at 3:30 PM Pacific / 6:30 PM Eastern on Nintendo’s official feed. The finals will broadcast the next day, but not before…. …the most anticipated Nintendo Direct of the year at 9 AM! A lot of info regarding Switch Smash is expected, and it’s the only game they’re confirming at the moment. Some people are worrying this is literally the only game they’ll show (because there’s precedent for this), but nobody panic….the outline specifically mentions “Nintendo Switch titles for 2018,” not just Smash. I’m fairly confident we will get some huge announcements. As they did last year, any filler time between tournaments or special announcements

Masahiro Sakurai Will Direct The New Switch Smash Bros.

Masahiro Sakurai Will Direct The New Switch Smash Bros.

Masahiro Sakurai was the brainchild behind Super Smash Bros. when it first appeared on the Nintendo 64. Since then it’s grown into one of Nintendo’s biggest hits with a VERY VERY devoted fanbase (we mean very), and each entry has been personally approved by Sakurai, every step of the way. And boy, does he get involved. Sakurai confessed in an issue of Famitsu that he goes far enough to program much of the games himself. “With the previous Smash Bros. games, I would input all the fighter specs and attack hitboxes, and with the new games I’m doing something very similar.” It’s a lot for one man to take on, but as he puts it, “It’s faster and more accurate to do it myself than to tell someone else over and over again what to do.” Sakurai puts so much of his heart and soul into Smash that a sequel without his involvement would feel unavoidably different. He complained of exhaustion after Smash For Wii U And 3DS and there

Super Smash Bros. Creator Working on New Game

Super Smash Bros. Creator Working on New Game

It looks like game developer Masahiro Sakurai, creator of Super Smash Bros. and Kirby’s Dreamland, is working on a new game project. What new project that could be is a complete mystery. This is from a translation by Source Gaming of Sakurai’s Weekly Famitsu column. You can check out the tweets on the subject below. It’s completely unknown what the game could be. One would hope that it could be a new Super Smash Bros. game for Nintendo’s next console, the Nintendo Switch. Sakurai reportedly confirmed that he’s working on a new game, and he also looked around the development room, noting that there weren’t a lot of people there who have previously developed game projects for the Famicom (NES). Sakurai noted that “he’s getting older.” PVPLive reports that a new Super Smash Bros. game for the Nintendo Switch is rumored for a 2017 release. So, it could be that game, or it could be another Kirby game. Or, it could very well be something completely different, such as Kid Icarus.

Smash Bros. Producer Wishes Geno Could Have Made It In

Smash Bros. Producer Wishes Geno Could Have Made It In

In a new interview with the Japanese website Nintendo Dream, Smash Bros. producer Masahiro Sakurai was asked which character he wanted to include in the latest Super Smash Bros (which just wrapped its DLC production this month) but couldn’t. Sakurai immediately mentioned Geno. In fact, he wanted Geno in the game all the way back in Brawl. Geno is a living puppet that was introduced in the Super NES classic Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Aside from a silent cameo in 2003’s Game Boy Advance title Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, the character has never appeared again. The leading fan theory is that Square-Enix, who developed Super Mario RPG for Nintendo, has partial ownership of the Geno character and, for whatever reason, won’t sign off on his return. This has never been confirmed, but the fact that no other original character from Super Mario RPG has made a playable return anywhere is pretty convincing evidence. It’s not entirely true that Geno isn’t in the game at ALL.

Super Smash Bros: Bayonetta and Corrin Hit This Week

Super Smash Bros: Bayonetta and Corrin Hit This Week

Nintendo has officially announced via the official Twitter account for Nintendo America that the new DLC fighters for the Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS rosters will be hitting later this week. Starting in the afternoon of February 3, Nintendo will release Bayonetta of the Bayonetta franchise and Corrin from Fire Emblem Fate as DLC characters for the game. Besides the two new characters, the new update will also feature a new wave of Mii Fighter costumes. Here’s the full breakdown of new costumes (via Gamespot): Geno (Super Mario RPG) Chocobo Hat (Final Fantasy) Bionic Armor Takamaru (game unreleased in US) Ashley (Wario Ware) Gil (Tower of Druaga) Tails and Knuckles (Sonic) Bayonetta appears in the game after winning the most votes for a worldwide character poll for the game (that Nintendo has the rights to use). The next DLC fighter to join the roster will be Cloud Strife of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII. Amiibo for Bayonetta, Corrin and Cloud are also all in the works. The long-awaited

Good News, Darlings: Nintendo Is Rereleasing Bayonetta 2

Last month Nintendo revealed the final member of Team Smash, as chosen by a worldwide poll: Bayonetta. And it had an interesting effect on the once-pokey sales of her critically praised sequel from 2014. Suddenly, thousands of gamers realized “Oh right, I need to get around to playing that,” and headed out to the store. Up until that point, copies of Bayonetta 2 were relatively easy to find. I’ve seen the same three sitting around in a Fred Meyer display shelf for months. Then Bayo’s Smash trailer broke and all those copies vanished into thin air, as well as every other copy in unassuming supermarkets, every GameStop copy both in stores and online, and pretty much anyplace else the game was once sold. All gone. And you can bet no one was happier than the scalpers, who bought any remaning copies in existence and marked them up on eBay to ridiculous levels. Sometimes when this happens, Nintendo does nothing about it and all existing copies remain rare and valuable forever.

Nintendo revealed some enlightening news for this week’s Nintendo Direct, which was the final Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct video presentation. You can watch the complete presentation in the player below. But among the announcements were two new DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS, including Bayonetta. Super Smash Bros. franchise creator Masahiro Sakurai narrated the presentation and revealed the remaining DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. Those two characters will be Bayonetta of the Bayonetta franchise and Corrin from Fire Emblem : Fates. Corrin will have both male and female versions in the game. The Corrin DLC character will not have a new stage, but there will be two new musical tracks for the game with Corrin. Also, the 3DS version will have new Ryomo and Xander-themed trophies. The new fighter doesn’t have a dedicated stage, but buying them as DLC will also net you two new musical tracks. The 3DS version of the DLC also comes with Ryomo and

Let me set the scene for you. It was at E3 a long time ago, a trailer for what would be called Super Smash Bros. Brawl was revealed, and it was epic. But what many remember most about the trailer was this… https://youtu.be/9BVNsTcx-2k In one 47 second trailer, the entire complexion of Super Smash Bros. changed, not only could the vast legendary roster of characters from Nintendo games be in their fighting title, but 3rd party characters could be as well. Then, on October 10th, 2007, Sonic the Hedgehog was added to Brawl. When Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS was announced, we were treated to the reveal that Mega Man would be in the game! The 3rd party characters just kept coming. Soon to follow would be Pac-Man, Ryu from Street Fighter, and in the biggest bombshell since Snake, Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy VII fame was brought into the title. With a special Smash Bros. presentation coming this December, one that will likely announce or showcase

Nintendo officially announced in today’s edition of Nintendo Direct that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS will be getting a special new playable character with the classic Final Fantasy hero Cloud Strife! You can check out the video announcement of Cloud for the game in the player below. Skip ahead to 42:10 of the video to check out the arrival of Cloud to Super Smash Bros. Cloud Strike will be armed with his trademark Buster Sword. Along with that, it looks like his alternate skin will be Cloud’s look from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. In addition, there will be a new Midgar environment stage as well. The Nintendo Direct announcement did not reveal when Cloud will be available for Smash Bros. players. However, the video did say that a special Super Smash Bros. “Special Broadcast” is coming in December 2015. Hopefully, more details on the release of Cloud and a Cloud Amiibo figure will be clear at around that time. This is probably music to the ears

Between numerous free updates for Splatoon, and the continued support of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, Nintendo is doing very well in terms of free gaming downloadable content as of late. And for the latter, a new update is coming soon for Super Smash Bros., which will feature much new content. The update will arrive in Japan on the 31st. However, there is no word as of yet about when the update will make its way stateside, but we’ll keep you informed. Key among the content for the update is the arrival of two classic stages from the N64 original Super Smash Bros.: Peach’s Castle 64 and Hyrule Castle will return in all their glory. Both stages will have a graphical update or two to show off the system’s power. Also, there will be new costumes for the Mii’s to wear in Super Smash Bros., chief among them is a King K. Rool outfit from the Donkey Kong franchise and a Chrom outfit from Fire Emblem Awakening. For Japan

On July 31st the next firmware update will be applied to both the 3DS and the Wii U versions of Smash Bros. In addition to the usual tweaks and bug repairs, this update is anticipated to add all the features Nintendo has hyped in past Nintendo Directs and at E3. Nintendo promised back in June that some retro battle stages would be making new appearances in both games. On July 31 that happens: the Kirby’s Dream Land stage, the original Hyrule Castle stage and the Peach’s Castle stage, all from the original N64 game, will be added to the roster as DLC (and yes, you will have to pay this time: $1.99 a stage, or $2.99 a stage to get it on both platforms at once). One new feature that will be free is the long-overdue ability to instantly upload your Smash replay videos to YouTube. Once you sync up your Smash game with your Google account, you will be able to preserve any of your favorite matches forever, or
