Unused text found in Smash Bros. Wii U relating to YouTube uploads
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Wii U | 5 Comments
The Cutting Room Floor is known for its ability to unearth data and information from games that wouldn’t be accessible under normal circumstances. In the case of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the site has found several lines of unused text that points to an unused feature in which users could upload videos to YouTube.
Here’s the full lineup of text:
Convert the replay data into a video and post it? This requires a Google account.
(Note: This process may take longer than the duration of the replay.)
Cancel the conversion process?
Download?
Download complete. To see it, go to Í and then Í.
Download and save?
Replays you’ve downloaded can be found in the Vault.
By connecting to Nintendo Network, you can send your replay to friends or show it off to the world.
Whom do you want to share this with? Data will be sent to the following number of people: .
Is this OK?
Sent.
Mario Kart 8 lets players upload race highlights to YouTube, so I don’t see why Smash Bros. wouldn’t allow for the same thing. Is the text above from a scrapped feature? Or will the functionality be added in down the line via an update?

Thanks to listings on Amazon
, this year’s Skylanders entry has been confirmed as “Skylanders SuperChargers”. Recent rumors had suggested that the game would indeed be given that title.
Along with the final name, Amazon also reveals the first Skylanders SuperChargers details. First, check out the overview below:

Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight coming to North America on August 4
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is launching in North America on August 4, Atlus has announced. Like all of the company’s games, this one will be sold both in stores and on the eShop.
For those who haven’t heard about Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight previously, here’s a handy overview:
The first-person dungeon crawler from the classic Etrian franchise is updated with an all-new standalone story, complete with voiced characters who must adventure through the mysterious forest labyrinth and the ruins of Ginnungagap, where they may uncover the secret origins of the Fafnir Knight and his power to transform and use demonic powers.
The story mode is only half of the game, as Classic mode will allow players to play in the traditional Etrian fashion – by putting a party together from 13 unique classes and then clawing through dungeons to prove your mettle. Introduced in the first Untold game, both Classic and Story modes allow players to choose their own difficulty, from Picnic to Expert.
The choice of whether to start with Story or Classic mode will be up to you, when Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight launches on August 4!
Along with today’s release date announcement, Atlus released a new cooking video for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight. You can watch it below.

A look at Splatoon’s upcoming battle stages
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, Wii U | 3 Comments
Just like with the Splatoon weapons “leak”, we have a look at the game’s upcoming battle stages thanks to the new Prima guide. Bluefin Depot, Kelp Dome, Camp Triggerfish, and Port Mackerel are all shown. These stages will be added to Splatoon over the next few months.
Update: Confirmed – A look at Splatoon’s upcoming weapons
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 21 Comments
Update: Bumped to the top. This has now left rumor status, and is now confirmed. A second person has come forward with the guide and notes that the image above is indeed in there.
Splatoon will be updated with new content over the next few months. Nintendo will be adding in new modes, maps, and more. Additional weapons are also on the way, and we may have our first look as to what’s planned for the future – including one inspired by the NES Zapper.
The image above is making the rounds on 4Chan and Reddit today. Rumor has it that it’s a photo taken from Prima’s new guide. That guide should be officially released in the very near future, so we should know if there’s any truth to this speculation very soon.
Splatoon already selling out in Japan, Nintendo issues apology, promises more copies next week
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 18 Comments
Splatoon was released yesterday in Japan and it seems like the game is being incredibly well received as copies are already hard to come by. On its official Japanese Twitter account, Nintendo issued an apology and promised that additional shipments will be delivered to stores next week. Meanwhile, they urge customers to purchase the digital version if they can’t wait. Nintendo also intends to produce more Splatoon amiibo, which are similarly hard to get.
