This Japan-Only Game Boy Game Made It Into Super Smash Bros., Too. August 4, 2014 . 11:02am

“Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru” is one of the more obscure pieces of Nintendo’s history in Super Smash Bros.

While a lot of the cameos and Nintendo nostalgia in Super Smash Bros. tends to be from well-known Nintendo games, there’s also a bit from their more obscure titles in there. One of these games is Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru.

On Miiverse, director Masahiro Sakurai posted: “In this Smash Bros. installment, this little guy is also making an appearance! I…don’t know his name, but he’s the Prince of the Sablé Kingdom. He’s from the Game Boy game Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (translated as The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls), which was only released in Japan.”

Sakurai added: “Here’s the trophy of the Sablé Prince. He transforms into a snake or a frog, and unloads multiple attacks on any opponent he catches. Keep attacking your foes when they’re trapped in his dust cloud.”

The Daybreak From Kid Icarus Is A Weapon In Super Smash Bros. August 5, 2014 . 11:00am

The Daybreak from Kid Icarus: Uprising will be a usable item in Super Smash Bros.

The Daybreak from Kid Icarus: Uprising will be a usable item in Super Smash Bros., director Masahiro Sakurai has revealed. Like Kirby’s Dragoon, you’ll need to combine three pieces of the Daybreak to form the weapon.


“This is what it looks like when all three parts are combined together,” Sakurai wrote on Miiverse. “How powerful will its beam blast be?”

“FYI, you can fire shooting items while moving backward and forward. Change direction by flicking the Control Stick or Circle Pad toward the back of the fighter.”

Xerneas Increases The Launch Power Of All Fighters In Super Smash Bros.. August 6, 2014 . 11:30am

“Victini and Xerneas are both support Pokémon,” Sakurai said on Miiverse.

Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai has shared details on two of the legendary Pokémon that have a possibility of popping out when you use a Poké Ball—Xerneas and Victini.

“Victini and Xerneas are both support Pokémon,” Sakurai said on Miiverse. “Victini’s Victory Star boosts the attack of whoever throws the Poké Ball, and also prevents flinching.”

Meanwhile, “Xerneas’s Geomancy increases the launch power of all fighters, but exceptionally raises it for whoever had the Poké Ball.”

That's cool about the supporters and pokemon and all, but when the hell are we gonna get the rest of the roster?

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

Soon!....ish.....maybe....possibly....if the great Sakurai allows it...

 

[Tron Bonne]

We're probably pretty close to the end. Might see more at Gamescom, and then they'll probably be a direct with the rest.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS Alone Has More Trophies Than Brawl. August 7, 2014 . 9:32am

Additionally, Mega Man’s Dr. Wily is one of the trophies in the game, director Masahiro Sakurai revealed over Miiverse last night.

Mega Man’s Dr. Wily is one of the trophies in Super Smash Bros., director Masahiro Sakurai revealed over Miiverse last night. In fact, Sakurai said, the number of trophies in the new game is seeing an increase over Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

“You can rotate the trophies by drawing circles on the bottom screen,” Sakurai wrote on Miiverse. “Super Smash Bros. Brawl had tons of trophies, but rumor has it that the 3DS version alone may have more than Brawl. Looks like the Dr. Wily that we made from scratch for the 3DS version is on his knees in disbelief.”

Sakurai added in a follow-up comment: “Here’s something new—the trophy shop. If you’re having a hard time getting certain trophies, why not just buy them? They sometimes go on sale, too.”

Rumor has it? You know, Sakurai, you know!

Gameboy stage for SSB 3DS. Apparently, it's designed so that if the 3D effect is one, it'll look like an original GB screen is imbedded into the top 3DS screen.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Love that there is a Gameboy stage. That's so cool. Does it greyscale (or greenish scale) fighters? That'd be rad.

 

[Mr. Marko]

Seems pretty similar to the Game & Watch stages we've seen before. I like it.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Probably gonna be some portion where tetris stuff falls down the screen. Maybe something inspired by Super Mario Land

Looks like it does in that picture.

 

[Lily Adler]

Question: Does anyone else have certain soundtracks they hope they add to the game? I would like this one from Paper Mario to be in it:

More Mischievous Trolling From Super Smash Bros. Director. August 11, 2014 . 9:31am

Director Masahiro Sakurai is at it again.

Ah, Sakurai. You sure know how to hit right where it hurts.

Pic of the day. "Hello! I'm Samus, the intergalactic bounty hunter!" "And I am Meta Knight, joining the battle!!"

Yeah!

[BlackMagicWolf]

Wait! Do you hear that?...It's the sound of Sakurai laughing as he watches the fanboys of the internet try and decipher the meanings of this pic!!!

He's trolling us! Gosh dang it he's trolling us!

 

[Tron Bonne]

I have no idea how this is a troll

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

Because there's a lot of theories as to why Metaknight will/won't be back in Smash. This is much like the Game & Watch thing at the end of the Pac-Man reveal. There's no reason to think that he won't be in the game, yet there's no update on the site to say that there is.

Thus, until we get that answer, we have to speculate endlessly. Hence, trolling.

The Smash Ball Won’t Be The Only Item You’ll Fight Over In Super Smash Bros. August 12, 2014 . 12:31pm

The new game introduces an item called the Special Flag.

When a Smash Ball appears during a Super Smash Bros. match, everyone drops what they’re doing and begins to fight over the Ball instead. However, in the new Super Smash Bros. game, the Smash Ball won’t be the only item you’ll want to grab first.

The new game introduces an item called the Special Flag. Director Masahiro Sakurai wrote about the item in a post on Miiverse last night, along with the screenshot above.

“If you manage to raise this Special Flag for long enough, an additional KO count will be added to your score in a time match, or you’ll get an extra stock for a stock match,” Sakurai wrote.

“When this appears on the stage, the fight for the flag becomes a fierce battle of tactics, which makes things pretty interesting.”
