Do you think it is real or fake?

Spoiler:
Apparently, the leaked roster we saw last month is the "final" roster. However, there's this rumor that recently popped up by this user from neogaf (warning: strong language) that states the last four characters from the previous leak (Mewtwo, Ridely, Dixie, and Chorus Men) can only be unlocked when you link the 3DS version with the Wii U version. This sounds like a clever excuse to buy both versions to complete the roster, since they're suppose to have the same characters available, but we'll see this turns out to be case, or else Sakurai has seriously screwed the Smash community in terms of character demand.
Spoiler:
So you'd have to buy both versions to get the characters nearly everyone wanted in the game? I guess it makes sense why that "Wii U" button is on the main menu of the 3DS version. Honestly, I hope this isn't true. I mean, I planned on getting both from the get-go, but I personally don't agree with the idea of HAVING to do this to fully complete the roster. I know some people won't be able to get both or don't want to get both, and if this is true, they would never be able to play as these characters. Which really sucks.

Spoiler only if you're a Mother fan, and even then, only pertains to a stage:
Spoiler:
Magicant is a stage! Based off of Mother's, but blends both 1 and 2's elements, such as actual footage of events from both games. As someone who really likes Mother the most out of all three games, story wise, this is beautiful. Not only that, but the stage itself is like the greatest gift to Mother fans. It makes every other stage the series has received look like they didn't really give a darn in comparison. You want Mother 1 and 2 references, oh boy, you GOT em. Probably also the nicest looking stage overall, too. Maybe the hypest, too. Everything other stage just seems like too much of a straight rip or doesn't have the same neat aesthetics.


Ugh. Now if only someone would play a stock or two minute match there with the default music so I can hear the whole Magicant theme. I dying, here! How long before one of the early guys decides to do a music rip, I wonder?



Also, Pokémon...
Spoiler:
Jigglypuff with superior Sugimori model is now in. Super cute. She was compared with being much more like an anime character, and by God they're right. So much more expressive! I've always liked Jiggly before, though I was also always a little off put, too, but now I'm alllll in. Jigglypuff for female creature main (as if she really has any competition, aside from one turtle-like youth)!

I would be pretty surprised if the Wii U version had more characters, in any way. Just because one leak is accurate doesn't mean others trying to be attached to it are as well. For every correct rumour there's a hundred fake ones.

It's not the first time Nintendo has done something like this. Remember Mario Golf and Mario Tennis for the N64? They have four additional characters, which require the GBC version to unlock them. Same with their GCN and GBA successors as well as Pokemon B2/W2's difficulty settings. This guy has also made an interesting theory regarding the four extra characters.

Duck Hunt dog and duck are the most unique characters. If you can make the least remembered Nintendo characters be a playable character in a fighting game, you might as well be god

Everything about Wario is SO good except for getting rid of the shoulder bash and what looks like is a slightly nerfed air speed?

Seriously his ground options are so good now. I really hope they don't nerf his aerials, though.

BUT HIS ANIMATIONS *O*

I guess it makes sense in that regard. I can also see them being DLC in the future, long after the game's release. lol either way, I just wanna play as Mewtwo and Ridley (now that I know his inclusion is very possible). Though it's kinda weird to have the Chorus Men be part of this group due to Rhythm Heaven enemies in Smash Run. Are there any other enemies in Smash Run whose series doesn't have a playable rep?

A tweet from Nintendo: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/510477123748769792

If you're a Club Nintendo Platinum member, you can get codes for a Smash bros 3DS Demo! Though they didn't clarify if you were supposed to be a Platinum member now, or from last year. @[email protected]

Oh, but even if you're not, you can still get the free demo of Smash Bros 3DS on the EShop on the 19th:

Though I think this is only for Europe?

Ok, I think now is the time to start panicking. Both Dixie AND K. Rool are trophies, meaning the DK franchise gets jack despite being a successful long-running franchise. Sakurai is definitely screwing with his fans in terms of the roster, and there's bound to be a riot/boycott. Believe me, I have seen what the hardcore fans are capable of, which is why Project M exists.

Dragon was kind enough to gift me one of his codes for the 3DS demo...

It's fantastic. I am loving everything about it on the 3DS. Scary how much of a 180' I have just made on my opinion on it. I think it's great and works extremely well for the 3DS - but I still think the Wii U version will be superior. Considering how I feel about the 3DS one, the Wii U one should be STELLAR.

Panic isn't the word I'd use. Nor do I think that Sakurai is "screwing with his fans". It's to be expected that not every franchise is gonna get a large number of reps. And while DK is undoubtedly a long time successful franchise, as far as I know it's never been as successful or popular as, say, Mario or Pokemon or Zelda, which is why those franchises have the largest number of reps in the game.

And really what are the ultra-hardcore fans gonna do? Whine and scream and complain? Not play what will otherwise be a good game despite it missing a few wanted characters? With the size that the roster has been since Melee, there's gotta be at least ONE character that everyone will enjoy playing as. Ya can't get everything you want.

You're underestimating the fanbase, as well as the talent being done on Project M when it comes to adding characters into the roster. There was a group called Project Rainfall, whose goal was to demand Nintendo to bring Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower, and the Last Story overseas, which they eventually got, so why couldn't it be the same for Smash Bros.? Let's not forget the fan outcry of Metroid Other M and the ending of Mass Effect 3. Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo's top five best-selling franchises, and its series representation is still incomplete, for it's missing the female sidekick (Dixie) and the series antagonist (K. Rool). Both of whom are well-requested characters but were confirmed as mere trophies, meaning they will not be DLC characters. There is a saying "the customer is always right," and they have the right to criticize a product that doesn't meet its requirements.

I'm not saying that they can't ask for certain characters or things, nor am I saying that they don't have the right to criticize something. They are within their rights to do so.

I just think that it's a bit ridiculous to get that upset over the lack of a few characters. Like I said before, you don't always get everything you want. But if they want to get Sakurai to add in certain characters to the roster, it'd be better if they act like adults instead of spoiled children. It's not the end of the world that Dixie and King K. Rool didn't make it in, and there's always next time. The past 3 Smash games didn't have my ideal roster, but you never heard me get upset about it.

Don't forget though, with the trend that Nintendo has had - I.e Mario Kart DLC - I'd like to think there's a good chance that they'll have DLC to add new characters to the mix even after the launch. While that may or may not add more characters from the Adam universe because of some of the trophies, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo added say 4 characters to the mix later on.

It does seem like the end of the world to them, because these two also had some detractors because of their popularity from longtime fans. These detractors believed King K. Rool is no longer relevant to the series due to missing out on the two recent mainline DK games, which, by that logic, should also apply to Ganondorf because he hasn't appeared in a mainline Zelda title since Twilight Princess (OoT3D and WWHD are enhanced remakes, and Hyrule Warriors is a spin-off), and Dixie Kong will be a clone of Diddy, despite Dixie not using peanut guns nor a jetpack in any of the DK games she's appeared in.


Don't forget though, with the trend that Nintendo has had - I.e Mario Kart DLC - I'd like to think there's a good chance that they'll have DLC to add new characters to the mix even after the launch. While that may or may not add more characters from the Adam universe because of some of the trophies, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo added say 4 characters to the mix later on.
That's the idea, and the only well-requested characters whose trophies haven't been found yet are Mewtwo, Ridley, and Issac (From what I've heard, Camelot being listed on the ending credits despite Issac being axed as an assist trophy, due to the players having able to unlock all assist trophies, seems suspicious).

JESUS FREAKING YES MY WAIFU PUFFLYJIG IS STILL IN. But seriously Jiggly was my main in ever single smash bros. So far the demo only have 5 playable people being the following:
Pikachu
Mario
Villager
Mega Man
Link

Mario is an ass kicker, Villager is a little weird to play as, Mega Man is unholy, Pikachu's Volt Tackle is a lot easier to control

Link, he's still Link :P

I haven't happened to do much with Club Nintendo codes for quite awhile, and back then the rewards was only "Doc Louis' Punch-Out!!" so not quite as cool as now.

If anyone happens to have a spare code, I would enjoy it greatly. Can't wait for the full release.

Sighs because Im not a platinum member and have to wait until next Friday to finally experience smash <|3 But at least we are getting the demo at all, I've waited years for this game so another week can't hurt! I'm very pleased with the final roster, even if two of my mains got cut. hopefully the remaining newcomers get trailers!

For getting the demo, did it apply to people who had Platinum status from the last club nintendo year (with the rewards being nothing but eshop games)? Because if it meant those who have platinum right now (meaning you had to get 600 coins in like 2-3 months), that's kinda dumb. I don't even have gold right now.

...I wanna play the demo so bad! xD
