I wasn't really that hyped for Smash Bros. And actually had me in doubt that the game would be released this year considering Brawl was delayed. But I guess they do have consderable progress and we can definitely see a finished game sooner than expected.
What sucks is that the 3DS version will come first. It won't be as great as the console version for sure but at least the content is almost entirely different. And since both versions have the same roster, we are gonna know the entire roster for the Wii U version before it's out. Which sorta kills the hype for me, since I was mostly looking forward for the Wii U version. Hopefully the content involving connecting both games will be worth it.
And there seems to be a lot of people worried that Ness and Captain Falcon aren't gonna be in the game. Well, in the press photo set you can clearly see Mr. Saturn returning as an item. The Franklin Badge is in, too. And we saw Samurai Goroh in the direct, so I'm 100% sure they are still in. Like really, the only character you should be concered about not being in is Snake, since Kojima seems to not be involved according to a recent interview (but both Kojima and Sakurai seem to love making elaborate ruses so...).
The press kit also showed some Namco bits in. Such as a Galaga assist trophy and the Special Flag. So I'm sure a Namco rep has to be in somehow, considering they are playing a big part in developing the game.
I'm sure we wont be seeing any more actual new things about Smash till E3. But at least it's not that far away. Just 2 more months.
