Well, this is it folks! The final Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS presentation is nearly here. In just a few hours, we’ll know about what sort of goodies are planned as the game’s DLC begins to come to an end.

The stream will begin at the following times below:

We’ve posted a live stream for the presentation below. Along with fresh posts on the site for important news, we’ll also maintain a live blog. It should be a good time!

GThe Smash Bros. presentation should be about 33 minutes long, according to the Japanese stream.

Live blog

• Down + B – “Counter Surge” is a counter move where Corrin counters by transforming into a dragon. Attacks in front and behind
• Final Smash is “Torrential Roar” which pulls opponents in and KOs them

The November 2015 NPD report was issued on Thursday. But, as usual, we didn’t receive much in terms of concrete sales figures.

Thankfully, NeoGAF’s creamsugar has once again come through by sharing various sales in the U.S. last month. The lineup includes Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, Yo-kai Watch, and more.

Here’s the full list:

Wii U

Super Mario Maker – about 140,000 units
Smash Bros. / Splatoon Wii U bundle – about 140,000 units
Splatoon – about 105,000 units
Yoshi’s Woolly World – about 97,000 units
Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival – about 36,000 units
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash – about 18,000 units

Update 4: Bumped to the top. Added in trophies, possible Mii Fighter hat images, and music.

Update 3: Added in possible Mii Fighter hat/outfit.

Update 2: Added in a stage note. That might be it folks! And I personally see that as a good thing.

Update: Thus far, it’s looking like there are no new characters in the update. Cloud and the Midgar stage seem to be added with the patch. Possibly another stage as well.

Data miners are up to their usual tricks when it comes to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. It appears that content from the latest patch has started to leak, which isn’t too surprising given that the new presentation is taking place tomorrow. We won’t be spoiling anything on the front page or our social media accounts, but you can keep track of updates as they happen after the break.

Following CoroCoro’s coverage, the Mythical Pokemon Volcanion has been officially revealed. The creature was shown in a new trailer today, which you can watch below.

Here’s an official overview of Volcanion:

“Unlike any Pokémon discovered before it, this Pokémon is both Fire and Water type. It uses fire and water to create steam within its body, expelling explosive shock waves and boiling steam from the arms on its back. The power is said to be great enough to blow away an entire mountain, gouging out the earth and changing the shape of the land.”

Volcanion can’t be encountered through regular gameplay. We’ll be hearing more about the Pokemon soon.

Let’s Talk #33: What do you want to see from next week’s Smash Bros. presentation?

On Tuesday, Nintendo will be holding another Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS presentation. We know that this will be the final broadcast for these Smash Bros. titles, and we’ll be hearing more about Cloud. Nintendo has teased other information for the event, and we’ll almost certainly hear about the Smash Ballot. It should be pretty big given that this is the final Smash Bros. presentation!

So what are your last minute hopes for the stream? Is there any character you’re particularly pulling for? Is there a new stage you’d like to be added? Sound off in the comments below!

Highlights from last week’s topic: What are you playing? – December 2015

Lots of site stuff to talk about again. Please bear with me!

New site functionality

This post has been a looooong time coming. Since we put up the new version of Nintendo Everything towards the end of October, we’ve been working hard to bring in additional functionality/features as well as improvements. That’s finally been done, which is great, since this all nearly killed me. Let me talk about what’s new!

All sorts of interesting information has been emerging from the Fire Emblem 25th anniversary book. Among other things, there’s an interview with Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, which has him reflecting on the appearance of Fire Emblem characters in the series. He spoke about how Marth and Roy made it in, shared a story about re-recording Roy’s lines, and plenty more. He also commented on those who wish to see him work on an entirely new game, and noted that DLC for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS is ending soon.

We’ve picked out some tidbits and quotes from the interview below. You can read the full translation over on Source Gaming.

– Sakurai wanted to include Marth since Smash Bros. on the N64
– The hidden characters in that game were made “only on the premise of being able to reuse some movements and parts of the models of pre-existing characters”, so Marth didn’t make it
– Sakurai wanted Marth in to represent Fire Emblem and have more variety with sword-wielding characters
– Roy came up while thinking about clone characters for Melee, and his game was in development at the time
– Roy’s design from Melee was more of a suggestion, and many of his aspects were redone
– Counter moves for the Fire Emblem characters comes directly from the Fire Emblem games
– There were difficulties in trying to include Marth (such as how he never appeared overseas), but Sakurai pushed to have him in
– Discussion and internal disputes when it came to Roy
– Sakurai met with Nintendo of America while working on the game, and there was talk about removing Roy
– NoA said he’d be fun, so Roy was left in

On the selection process for the Fire Emblem characters in Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS…

Next week, Drill Dozer will be available on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console. There’s an interesting feature packed in with this particular release. Just like on the Game Boy Advance, rumble will be supported. It’s quite neat that Nintendo ended up including the functionality!
