That's cool. Will we get full sentences or just grunts?

Literally all we've seen is a static render of him. Nothing to suggest its the female or if it'll talk or anything.

Well, he talked in Japanese Melee, so there's that.
I know it's not much to go on :lol

I wonder if we're gonna get a proper shiny as an alt for him.

Hooray for Mewtwo getting into the game some way, boo for me having to go out and buy a copy faster than I can probably afford the console (which I already had to do for the soundtrack I guess, but still)

I'm sure Mewtwo will be available to everyone without both eventually at a price. This is Nintendo. For some reason people act like they're not the biggest money-grabbers in the business, but they're quite literally the worst. There's no way they're not going to wait a bit, get whoever they can to buy both consoles and then, when nobody's buying them any more, release Mewtwo so everyone who hadn't bought both can give them money too. I'm getting him free, but I still think the whole thing is a tool move on their part.

Speaking of money-grabbing, has anyone noticed how crap Amiibos are? Like, they're literally the crappiest thing ever. They offer absolutely nothing more interesting or more fun then just adding a Lvl 9 COM to your battle, its just they cost you $15 a pop so the people brain-dead enough to think "Oh! Wow! A COM restricted to a single character that increases its AI by playing against it!" can further empty their pockets into Nintendo's. Such a waste of money and time that you just know will soon become an integral part of Nintendo's business.

I was assuming that the stupid COM gimmick wasn't the only thing those pieces of plastic had to offer, that there was some great secret that was yet to be revealed. But nope. That's it. Its a single character COM that slowly increases its AI and stats (like those Customs! Such new!) that you can take to your friends' houses for whatever reason.

Oh! But as the Direct proudly announced, you can put two Amiibo COMs in a fight and watch them battle yourself! Whoopee.

And the worst part is I'm probably dumb enough to impulse buy one. Ugh.

Oh I fully expect him to be available to everyone at some point, it's just annoying because I planned to get both copies of the game at some stage, but just not sure whether I'll be able to buy a wii u before whatever the cut off date is (which for the CD's case is mid Jan anyway). So I have the choice of rushing out to buy a game I can't play yet to get Mewtwo for free, or waiting and then having to pay for Mewtwo despite owning both versions of the game.

Timed offers like this are bullshit, if Nintendo want to do it for people who buy both copies of the game it should be permanently available to people who buy both copies. Oh well.

And you have to buy them new... Assuming the ones you get used already had their codes used and registered. More money directly to them.

Finally got the game today, holy crap this game has so much, I cant decide what to play. :lol

I'm sad that i won't be able to play as Mewtwo on my copy of the 3DS version... Well i can always play as him in the WiiU version.

I took this snapshot of my Layton mii and i feel like it needs a caption. :lol

Why can't you play as Mewtwo on your 3DS copy?

Oh, and a patch was released or something.

Becuase i hear it's a club nintendo thing and since it's my brothers account, and he has a 3DS copy as well, he gets the DLC.

*sigh*

All that has been said so far is that people who register both the 3DS and WiiU version to their Club Nintendo account will get him for free.

NINTENDO HAS NOT AT ALL SAID AT ANY POINT THAT NOBODY ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO GET IT.

Yet that seems to be the prevailing opinion everyone's buying into for whatever ridiculous reason. No, they haven't said how, but it's assuredly simply going to be paid DLC instead.

Oh and get your own damn Club Nintendo account man. Problem solved on that front.

Anyone know what today's patch actually changes?

The link I was given (Here) doesn't confirm anything. They basically just say "Patch was released. Balance changes made. No confirmations. Download via QR code or at eShop."

UK release date for smash for wii u changed from 5th December to 28 November same day as pokemon ORAS come out

The Smash bros tournament i entered at Uni... It didn't go so well.

Just learned that they killed Bowsercide in the WiiU version. :/ It, Kirby's, and Dedede's suicide moves now apparently kill the user first instead of the opponent.

Shocking

I see. At least it makes Bowser less cheap now. It'll also hurt his position on tier lists, I'm sure.

EDIT- wrong thread.

although I havent played the game in a week. Is this a sign? :lol

Perhaps, I'm guessing you meant to post in the Pokémon thread...eh...all 3DS games are the same anyway. :lol

Less than one day remains until the Wii U version drops onto US shores!

Does anyone else have a Wii U?

Yup, i already have it pre-loaded ready for its release

I have a Wii U but i don't think i'll be getting Smash Wii U anytime soon, i mean were in the holiday season and i'm more interested in Pokemon, so obviously i'm not gonna find it anywhere.

I don't own a Wii U, so I'm only on 3DS.
If anyone wants a quick couple of rounds, I'll be here.

Lucky Americans! Still have to wait a week.

Really sad that there's no un-revealed stages outside of another Flat Zone. Nintendo seem to be making a habit of not leaving anything to be surprised about.

@King Prinny: Cool. When we do get our copies we'll exchange numbers so we can do online battles.

I think I'll consider playing some Donkey Kong...

My 3DS needs a recharge but I'll try to be online ASAP.

Oh, you wanna play some? Awesome~

It'll be awhile. Stupid 3DS needs both an system update and an SSB4 update.

Goddammit Nintendo why must you be love forcing people to update all the time?

So many updates~

I am so sorry about this. Video Gaming has become such a hassle but hopefully I'm nearing the end of it so we can do some online smashing.

It's all good~
No need to apologize.

OK I'm ready now.

I'm online and ready to go!

Hopping online right now~!

Mild correction.
It turns out I never finished the update download, and now because of fucking ORAS, the eShop is overwhelmed and I can't access it to restart/finish the download...

5 Stock with Custom Movesets OK with you? I recently got all of Mega Man's moves and want to test a few on the online battle field.

EDIT: Ah ORAS, you must ruin everything because of Pokehype. We'll try again on the weekend since right now the servers must be swamped. That sound OK with you Matrix?

Sure, I'll be good with it then, too. No worries.
And if you wanna use custom movesets, my only rule is to not use power boosts.

Anyway, I finally got the eShop to work. If I don't get screwed over and it fully finishes, I'll send you a visitor message.

I don't like power boosts so we're good on that end.

I'll keep an eye open for that message kay?
