E3 2013: A New Challenger Has Joined Super Smash Bros.

Cannot WAIT!!!

Happy about this if only for the remixed mega man music <3

If only the Wii U had gamecube controller ports!

Is it just me or does Megaman look oddly proportioned? Something just seems off with the model...

It took them long enough! I'm super excited!

This game makes me wonder how I could ever live without a Nintendo console.

This is cool and all, but is Snake coming back?

How does this work on the wii u? Only one game pad can be supported at a time, do the others have to use a pro controller?

YES YES YES YES.

Yup, I'll be picking up a WiiU soon for sure. What with this AND Bayonetta2.

I hope this wasn't Capcom's big surprise.

Yeah. I know he's supposed to look like a kid and all, but they went maybe a little too far with it; he's damn near toddleresque. I don't think he ever looked quite that young in any of the games or official art that I've seen.

@bernoulli: It was Dead Rising 3

That's one of those things that will likely get addressed later. I think for now it's safe to assume that the pro pad and wiimotes will be supported.

so who's the yellow dude at the end?

Great news for Super Smash Bros. I love the addition of Mega Man. It's a shame we still have awhile to wait to play it.

I blame real fighting games for my general apathy towards this announcement.

Both the Wii U and 3DS version look great. Holy shit at Mega Man! Can't wait, might pick up both versions if they're different enough :D.

Sequence of events when I first saw this reveal:

"Oh hey, Megaman? Only a matter of time!"

"Wait...does he...are those the same animations as the NES games?"

"OHMEGERD HE'S USING MEGAMAN 2 WEAPONS"

This looks like more care and respect was given to Megaman than Capcom has done in the last decade.

i came...

There's no life behind those dead eyes.

Keifer Sutherland isn't in this?

Wow, that actually looks like a really good approximation of at least how I imagined that sprite looking as a kid.

Gratuitous Mega Man 2 fanservice!

Now hopefully it plays like Melee instead of Brawl.

Basically as excited as possible. I'm more than ready to get my hands on this.

The Yellow Devil. He is like the one boss in every megaman game. And he is a BITCH to beat.

God Damn it! Now I have to buy a Wii U, too?!?! Smash Bros., I want to leave Nintendo and you keep bringing me back, you beautiful bastard.

No more yellow devil... please.... oh god why....

probably the most meaningful exclusive move, aside from titanfall.

So.... he's basically Samus+Kirby?

It looks strange because no other game has taken his sprite so literally before. I think it works when they put as much effort as they do into making him accurate to his 8-bit style, including the awkward curled hand when shooting and the derpy hurt frame. Very faithful. I love it.

Tekken, Marvel vs Capcom, now Smash Bros. Truly, Mega Man is the true fighting champion.

He has basically no neck and looks a lot shorter and wider than what we are used to seeing, but I'm cool with it because I suspect that this is all in service of making him look as much as the NES sprite as possible, even down to the blank expression and his jump & damage animations.

It's most likely the "Yellow Demon", a reoccuring boss character from the old games.

Damn it. Now I gotta but a Wii U, just so it can collect dust like the last 2 systems.

That's the first thing that I noticed... and I LOVE it. I'm not a Mega Man fan, but I love the work they've done with the character. It's faithful to the original sprite, while looking very modern. I absolutely love it, and can hardly wait for SSB Wii U/3DS.

This

Good to know somebody is doing something with Mega Man.

I don't think he looks bad, necessarily. It's just a little -- out of place, maybe? The majority of the other characters don't look like their original 8-bit (or 16-bit) sprites, including other guest characters -- Sonic, for example, is his Sonic Adventure and Sonic '06 incarnation.

I would have just expected something more along the lines of how Mega Man is portrayed nowadays -- ie, still looking like a kid, but not with 8-bit sprite proportions that make him look like a chubby toddler.

To each their own, etc. I'm still happy he's in the game, regardless. And for trying to make him look reminiscent of the 8-bit sprite, they did a fairly good job. (though his mouth needs to just be a ridiculously long, black line!)

Nothing like some classic tunes remixed to get you pumped!

So...beautiful *sniffles*.

Look, megaman is just taking this gig to pay his rent.

Yawn.

Well aint that peachy. Looks pretty nice.

@king9999: @xeroxedmessiah:

Can I assume you two never played Brawl?

Basically it allowed you to use the Wiimote, Wiimote + Nunchuk, Classic Controller, & GameCube Controller.

It's nice they're putting Megaman into Smash because he's never going to be in a good game ever again.

Megaman was pushed out of Marvel vs capcom and is Crashing Smash bros! Rocking! glad I got a 3ds :D

FINALLY! A NEW MEGAMAN GAME! IV'E BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS!!!

Well, it's not like Capcom was using him for anything...
