Super Smash Bros: What happens when Kirby eats Mega Man is 'classified'
Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai may have been forthcoming about the new Super Smash Bros' lack of cross-platform play, but when it came to the really important information, he was still pretty cagey. For example, what could be more important than finding out what happens when Kirby eats Smash newcomer Mega Man?

These are two gaming icons whose main ability is to steal the abilities of others. For all we know, Kirby swallowing Mega Man could create a rift in the fabric of reality, destroying all life as we know it. Alas, Sakurai wouldn't give us much information. "A lot of what you're asking is still classified," he told us through an interpreter at E3.

"As far as the physical appearance of Kirby," he said, "I think what you imagine is probably pretty close to what will actually happen." Sakurai put his hands next to his head, in what we're pretty sure was the international sign for "Mega Man's helmet." We followed up by asking if Kirby would be gifted with a Mega Buster. "He's got little tiny arms, so who knows."

i care about the story mode. i think platformer beatemups are fun

Are there gonna be any differences  between the WiiU version and the 3DS version? Also jesus fuck it's  been a while.

the stages will be different for both versions (they're trying to stick with console game levels for Wiiu and handheld levels for 3ds) but they've already shown battlefield in both so i'd imagine there might be a few more exceptions.  that's all they've brought up so far

Spoiler for Hidden:

I won't believe it until he's confirmed in fake character roster screenshots.

an interview where sakurai talks about the Design Process. pretty neat stuff

Also I don't see why "as many characters as possible" is more important than "best possible gaming experience"

because that would at least be preferable to putting more effort into a story mode no one cares about

good news everyone

PN: There was a big focus on Story with Brawl, notably with SSE, the very first "story mode" of the series. Is there anything similar with the new SSB?

S: Actually we are not planning to include a similar story mode this time around.

 

surprising nobody, olimar has been confirmed as a fighter http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/pikmin.html

his stage looks pretty sweet though

not to me it doesn't :(

oh it's from that shitty 3ds pilotwings game where they took out all the features from the original that made it fun, like the ability to ride along the ground in your gyrocopter over a miniature of the united states while haphazardly firing missiles at nothing in particular

now touching down anywhere but the landing zone just instantly explodes you

fuck you nintendo

NINTENDO OF JAPAN IS 100% TAR SCORPIONS AND/OR GRAVEL GERBILS

so much for that "levels from handheld games on the 3ds version / levels from console games on the wii u version" thing they were talkin about
