Smash Bros. for Wii-U Opening Cinematic

Smash Bros. Wii U's Opening Cinematic is Decidedly Awesome.

2014 was one of the BEST years to be a kid. You’ve got this game, the 3ds version, the consoles themselves, as well as great tv shows like mixels, sonic boom, wow wow wubbzy, etc. truly a great year for kids entertainment!

Seeing those comments about how shit the intro goes to show how spoiled and ungrateful the Smash community is. Considering all of the content that's going to be in the Wii U version already, I think we can let an intro like this slide. And, let's be honest, how many of you are going to watch this every time you play the game? Maybe a few times, but not every time. It's on screen for two minutes, and it goes away. If you don't like the intro, then deal with it.

I miss the "Super... BROTHERS!".

The Wii-U version looks absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait for it to come out!

[themkwtiger]

I cannot wait for Smash Bros for Wii U! This opening looks amazing!

[htsmash]

Don't deny it, best opening theme!

I can't believe people would whine about this, seriously. "OMG this is just gameplay footage and the reveal trailers, wtf melee had CGI this sucks." You do realize the reveal trailers WERE CGI, right?(more than that even, with Palutena's and Little Mac's reveal) And I'm pretty sure all of them put together equates to much more than the Melee trailer ever was. After being spoiled with all those beautifully made trailers, you then expect them to create something completely different from scratch, with all 48 characters present in it? That would be a jumbled mess to be completely honest, using the reveal trailers was a much quicker and easier way to introduce the characters. Furthermore on Melee, that apparently god like CGI trailer is the only and I repeat ONLY trailer made for the game, so you shouldn't be complaining about this at all. And all of this complaining over something that at most is 1% of the whole game.

Best opening AND game in my opinion.

Come at me Melee fanboys.

The openin’ 18 seconds are so beautiful ong

Let us put things in perspective, ladies and germs.

Smash for Wii U is gonna give us, among other things, multiplayer for up to eight players, new game modes, a new end boss, a stage editor, more online options, a painting studio, bigger stages, more music, and more trophies to collect.

If the fact that you don't like the intro is the biggest gripe you have, then this game's gonna be just fucking fine.

You guys should at least be happy that we get an intro in this game unlike we did in the 3DS version. I mean, if we had never seen, the character trailers, we would've been excited for this. I agree it does feel, a bit meh, but the intro isn't going to affect the game in anyway like some mediocre RPGs or FPS with "flashy" intros. If it did, then nobody would buy this game. 

Brawl's intro wasn't any better, same with Melee on some points. But nothing can beat the Smash 64's intro. Not only for it's nostalgia, but for being completely original and having its own original opening theme. 

But one things for sure, Smash 4 had some pretty sweet newcomer trailer. Palutena's, Little Mac's, and Robin/Lucina's trailers were my personal favorites due to how unique the animations were. But like I said, the intro hardly matters. It's the gameplay that shines the most.

i refuse to believe this is 10 years old

I think what everyone (including me) is disappointed about (disappointed being the light term) is that this intro doesn't have the "Wow" factor or the "Hype" factor or actually, any type of factor that could draw any form of excitement, it's very underwhelming. People shouldn't use the whole "Oh they're reusing clips and old footage" excuse because, besides 64 (I think), Melee and Brawl did the same thing with Melee using it's E3 reveal trailer with a few tweaks and Brawl having Subspace and other footage. The key difference is that Melee and Brawl did it *better*, they didn't have to completely overhaul the Melee E3 trailer because it had the substance, the factor. Brawl, while not having the same full motion video type of opening, worked due to its theme. Brawl had an epic theme song what with all the orchestration and latin vocals and that helped to carry the video, it had an 'epic' factor. Smash4s opening can't really rely on it's music as a carry since it's been heard so many times, in reveal trailers, openings for some smash directs and the 3DS version of the game. The music, while still good, has lost its "oomph" so that aside what were left with is gameplay synced in time with the music, chopped up versions of the character reveals and the first trailer. IMO I think the opening should not have begun with shulk and megaman of all people it should have started out with the beginning of the first reveal trailer, then segway into footage and finish with alternating between footage and the character reveals (but not Palutenas, that was jarring as i mean random anime right in the middle? It was really odd). And who can forget the iconic title shout? If they don't need it then fine but here I think it really should have been implemented *rant over*

In my opinion (Game)
1. Brawl
2. This
3. Melee
4. 3ds
5. Original

I remember playing this on my 3DS when I got this on Christmas morning when I was 5 or 6
I was a huge fan of Pokemon so the first one I wanted to play as was Pikachu

[SwiftieLuma]

Why the hell do people even care about this?
Thats my question . You would be a Big liar if you say you'd watch the whole opening every single time you'd play the game!

It does not really matter! Stop acting like children, Oh my freaking God. I cannot believe how spoiled Smash fans are! You got many features in this game + HD + FREAKING MEWTWO and you keep complaining?

Sakurai should just cancel the release, like seriously, this is just getting ridiculous .

[AnarickTheDevil]

an the into theme is still better then the crap they used for ultimate's.

[laabitres]

Easily the most forgettable Smash Bro game imo

[KuroNoTenno]

So many good things came out on WiiU... I think I gotta buy it.
