Super Smash Bros. Wii U

A new rumor (one I just found out about) and this was on the same day of the Direct.

Well, it seems there will be some Namco items in this game:

aliens from Galaga

flag from Rally-X

And now...we wait for Pac-Man. 🙂

I hope they throw a curve ball at us and Mappy gets added

Pac-Man confirmed:

Also Palutena and Miis are in which pretty much confirms the Gematsu leak.

Yeah, at this point, it's very clear that the leak is true.

That means we just gotta wait for Shulk, Chorus Men, and Chrom.

Link is pretty slow in that video. I thought he was a lightning timer. mmm

Four video game icons in one game. I bet 20 years ago, nobody thought this would happen.

Seriously, Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man in Smash?

This is like when the Beatles were formed.

R.I.P. Snake (probably). I wanted him back more than almost any newcomer from the last game but the writing on the wall's becoming clearer and clearer for him now 🙁... unless he and some other veterans that don't make it back are DLC, which at least is possible/likely now unlike with Brawl.

Yeah prolly not, last I heard snake was only in the other due to the close connections with the smash bros team and them. So figured with Namco's heavy involvement might not be the case. Instead we may get heihachi =p

I really don't see Nintendo doing that sort of DLC. It's just not like them. If they're putting someone in the game they'll do it on release.

Man, E3 has me still high on hype.

Much as it pains me to admit it, I'd rather have that kind of DLC than like Mewtwo still not coming back at all. Even his fate in the game kinda hangs in the balance based on the Gematsu leak/number of characters the roster will have.

No need for Heihachi when there's Pac-Man.

So Lucina and Robin eh? Thank god Gematsu's leak/list wasn't the end-all-be-all.

Yep. Bring on Ridley!

As someone who hates Fire Emblem, but enjoys playing their characters in Smash Bros, Lucina is an absolute waste of a character slot. She's officially the most redundant clone I think this series has ever had, and in the fourth installment of the franchise, that's seriously disappointing. Making a clone-inherently redundant-, but then making the moveset that of of a character that already had a clone, and a FEMALE clone of an explicitly feminine male character, you're just being ****ing lazy even beyond the blue haired sword wielder character design. This isn't a genuine addition, this is fanservice and status quo bullshit.

Captain Falcon's return was the big news here. I'm just hoping he plays closer to Melee than he did in Brawl, I always thought he was the biggest victim of the transition and physics change.

How is she any worse than say Dr Mario or Falco?
