New findings from Smash Bros. Wii U data-mining, including possibility of cut Rhythm Heaven character
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Fans have data-mined Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in hopes of finding secret goodies. Based on the latest discoveries, it seems like there were some rather interesting plans for the game.
Source Gaming’s data-mining suggests that the new Smash Bros. could have received a Rhythm Heaven character (Chorus Men) as was originally speculated quite some time ago. There may have also been plans for a Dr. Mario stage.
Here’s the full rundown from Source Gaming:
The Share menu (Sharing Mii Fighters, Snapshots and Video) is present in the Wii U version. The text for it is the same (AFAIK). There are no additional fighter characters. However…
C:\SSB4\ui\replace\chr\chr_00 chr_00_Virus_01.nut
C:\SSB4\ui\replace\chr\chr_11 chr_11_Virus_01.nut
C:\SSB4\ui\replace\chr\chr_12 chr_12_Virus_01.nut
Lastly… C:\SSB4\ui\replace\chr\stock_90 stock_90_Virus_01.nut
This strongly suggests that Dr. Mario was going to receive a stage. Perhaps the three different Viruses had a different effect on the players (Chill could freeze, Weird could give the effect of Lip’s Stick and Fever could give players fire breath). There’s no way to tell as the models and stage have been removed.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
N-ZONE, Germany’s last Nintendo-specific magazine, has teased the reveal of a new LEGO game. A preview of the title will be published in N-ZONE’s next issue.
We can’t say for sure what will be announced. Although, maybe it will have something to do with the rumored LEGO Jurassic Park game…
We’ll be seeing the next issue of N-ZONE on February 18. However, it’s possible that Warner Bros. will make an announcement before then.

Sakurai on how it was decided which stages to bring back for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS feature stages from previous games in the franchise. There are some stages from Brawl, Melee, and even the original release.
In his latest “Smash Bros. Diaries” entry included in this month’s issue of Game Informer, director Masahiro Sakurai addressed a question about how the team decided on which stages to bring back.
There are several factors that came in to play. Sakurai mentioned “the popularity of the stage, whether or not it’s a match for the 3DS screen, and whether or not two stages from the same setting are getting ported” were all considered.
Below are Sakurai’s full comments:
