Nintendo Skylanders is a thing. Or Super Skylander Bros Brawl. Or whatever you want to call it.

Goodbye my wallet. I want figures of every Nintendo character.

This is what the gaming world has come to.
God.
Damn.
It.
SKYLANDERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

 

[TechPowah]

When's Joltik?

 

[Rellek]

I like little statuettes anyways, so if they serve another function too, then I'm all for that. I'd be getting a Rosalina one first if I get any at all :P

it's almost as if gaming is a medium directed primarily at children and young teenagers

Except it hasn't been for over a decade. But you know whatever.

 

[Ruin]

exactly

"Pic of the day. Bullet Bill here is an item. Can you guess what happens when you use it?"

Kinda meh for my birthday's POTD, but here's the item version of the Bullet Bill chasing Mega Man down.

"Answer: You turn into Bullet Bill and go full speed ahead!"

Or not, cause I missed the part where it was the Mario Kart version where it turns you into a giant Bullet Bill!

 

[SpaceCadetKeon]

In the first pic, Mega Man looks like he's having flashbacks to the Killer Bullets from his first game.

 

[Jutsei]

Dang that Sakurai, threw me for a loop!
Was certain today's PoTD was lame.
THEN IT'S THE MARIO KART BULLET BILL.
Awesome

I personally found this rather lame :P

 

[Ruin]

better than yesterday's that's for sure ;__;

 

[Zeriam]

I found this.

 

[Rellek]

Yeah apparently they dun goofed. The miiverse post doesn't match the official site. I lol'd.

 

[Horseman]

I found this.

So, Ice climbers (practically) confirmed?

 

[TheMightyBox]

Yeah, pretty much.
Even though we saw the polar bear earlier in the post-Direct photo dump.

 

[Rellek]

I think we even saw it IN the direct, though I can't say for sure. Regardless, did anyone doubt ICs returning?

Yikes, no need to be so serious. Bet you'll feel a little rustled when ICs are back, yeah?

 

[Ruin]

The game launches and every character is just Reggie.
Every starter, every unlockable, every boss, every enemy, every stage hazard.

 

[Clawsome Bombs]

A Reggie fighting other Reggies to unlock secret Reggie to get to Final Reggie who is protected by Mini Reggies and bounds of Reggie Jiggawatt Bombs, Reggie Energy Beams, Reggie Ray Guns, and Reggie Killer Lasers?

 

[Goodbye18000]

[Lavama]

Spoiler

Best darn description for Mill decks in card games...

I wonder if they got around the memory issue with the Ice Climbers. Though, does someone have any sort of confirmation that was an issue? Seems odd that Sakurai would say that without announcing them.

 

[TheMightyBox]

It definitely was said at one point that the 3DS was having trouble with characters that encompassed more than one character.

Though Olimar and Rosalina seem to be working just fine, so maybe the problem's solved?

 

[Zeriam]

The Dragoon from Kirby's Air Ride is back it seems.

Spoiler

Pic of the day.

Uniting three parts will complete the legendary Air Ride machine…the Dragoon! It's back! But we didn't just leave it the way it was, and added some nice touches to the design of the targeting screen. It is, of course, in stereoscopic 3D on the 3DS.

 

[SkullMan]

No body is safe...Unless they have the reflexes.

<The first pic was posted already, so here's the text:>

Just the target screen felt lacking so here's a pic of the Dragoon itself. I wanna get on it. I wanna get on and ride it.

 

[Dr.Sanity]

Huh. That means you can tilt the 3DS around to aim right? That's cool. Think they'll do that for the Wii U controller too?

 

[Goodbye18000]

No, stereoscopic 3D is glassesless 3D.
And I don't think there'll be tilt controls simply because you can't get the precision with the stick. MAYBE it'll be on the touch screen on 3DS. Maybe. But otherwise It'll probs be unchanged.

 

[Jutsei]

The item no one asked for is back.
Fine with this XD

 

[Covenant]

...I wanted it back.

 

[Goodbye18000]

Eh, as long as it doesn't disable Smash Balls this time, I'm fine. Or at least make it a little rarer.

 

[LordTerminal]

Or y'know, just do what I did in the last game when that got on my nerves: give us the option to turn it off.

 

[Goodbye18000]

Well, I like the item, I just don't like how common it is. Give us the option of changing the frequency all every item, not just a general one.

Assist Trophies/Pokeballs would be awesome too, but I can't see that happening.

 

[TheMightyBox]

Oh Dragoon, if only there was someone out here who loved you.

Nah, the dragoon was a cool item, but I admit when the peices started showing up I half wanted to collect them so Smash Balls could come back.

Though obviously you wouldn't be able to turn off Dragoon peices in For Fun, so there's a slight hole in that plan.

 

[Rellek]

Lol, Dragoon was already confirmed in the direct tho.

 

[Goodbye18000]

NOTHING IS CONFIRMED

YOSHI MAY TURN INTO BOSHI

WONDER RED MAY STILL HAVE A CHANCE
