[@Slashser]

I love how the Smash invite letter changed from being only part of the Animal Crossing games to being an integral part of Smash Bros. characters reveals

[@worldsboss]

Yeah, it was really cool how they built upon it like that 😁

[@fernandobanda5734]

I think it was because fans used it a lot in memes. Smash 4 didn't have any other invitation letters, but Ultimate did, most likely in response to how fans used it.

[@wingedbluj1674]

I think the reason Olimar threw a red Pikmin at Charizard is because... Red Pikmin are immune to fire damage

[@worldsboss]

Yeah, I thought that too. It was quite funny 😋

[@smuglord8629]

I love how much the smash series has to cover to this day.

[@benmalsky9834]

Smash Ultimate updates and additions may have ended, but it’s a true testament of how much the games are still something we love talking about long after.

[@Whispernyan]

There's a possible detail a lot of people miss in Villager's reveal trailer. Rosie and Margie are both main characters in the Animal Crossing movie, and if that wasn't enough, Margie in the movie has a sketchbook, while that's not the same as the regular book she is reading from in the reveal trailer, they are still pretty similar further cementing the possible nod. It's just too much of a coincidence considering both villagers otherwise have no real significance.

[@Cdoggle]

Today I learned-

[@Mudkip971]

In Rosalina's trailer, Kirby being on Rainbow Road also somewhat references Kirby being in a racing game that being Kirby Air Ride

[@newageBoundhippie]

on top of that, Kirby's Air Ride was also one of Sakurai's games

[@SlashCraftJack]

Furthermore, "Legendary Machine" from Kirby Air Ride plays during the beginning

[@pokedude720]

[@theonlybilge]

Did your mouth open in an oval shape, while you turned to someone and pointed behind you?

[@worldsboss]

The Mii reveal trailer was actually super underrated from a marketing perspective. It used Nintendo celebrities doing something completely random and unexplained (but awesome), before specifically highlighting the Wii U gamepad, which was obviously being pushed heavily at the time, and then doubling up for a cross-promotion with the Amiibo reveal. Really good stuff! Also, for Mega Man’s “joins the battle” I always interpreted that as a callback to Brawl, since Mega Man was among the first reveals for Smash 4. Brawl actually started the taglines with the character’s name, followed by “joins the brawl”.

[@WuhHuh]

I’m convinced that Megaman’s tagline is a reference to the game Megaman: Battle Network

[@worldsboss]

@@WuhHuh That would also make a ton of sense!

[@marplatense31]

My favorite was definitely Mega Man's trailer. I always thought the missile move Iwata did was supposed to be a reference to E. Honda from Street Fighter.

[@CiromBreeze]

Mega Man's was definitely the most hype out of the lot of them, especially with how *little* Capcom was doing with the blue bomber back then.

[@moosesues8887]

@@CiromBreeze bro what it was like 3-4 years after mega man 10 tf??

[@CiromBreeze]

@@moosesues8887 Yes. 4 years where we heard *nothing* from Capcom regarding *anything* involving Megaman. No announcements, and any existing Megaman projects (those being Universe and Legends 3) had been cancelled. Now imagine if that happened with your favourite series - you'd think it was dead as well. And it would be a good while again before the next game in the series - Megaman Legacy Collection - would release.

[@moosesues8887]

@@CiromBreeze thinking something is dead after 4 years is crazy

[@Poyostar]

Just some additional stuff regarding Rosalina & Luma's reveal trailer that wasn't mentioned here: Masahiro Sakurai has mentioned this first tidbit when looking back at all of the reveal trailers created for Smash 3DS, Wii U and Ultimate, but the inclusion of Kirby in the trailer ultimately gave it a Mario Kart VS Kirby Air Ride feel to it. This is also helped by the choice of music in the first moments of the trailer where Kirby rides across the stars and eventually Rainbow Road, which is the opening theme of Kirby Air Ride. And just in case no one mentioned it yet, Kirby dancing with the Luma at the end of the reveal trailer is also a clear nod to the Kirby Dance, which the pink puffball typically performs upon clearing a stage or beating a boss in his home series. How cute!

[@courage1363]

Well lets not forget that BOTH Mario Kart and Kirby Air Ride are BOTH racing games and spin-off titles so it has to make perfect sense.

[@kirbyofthestarsfan]

Another detail in the Rosalina trailer is that it opens with Kirby Air Ride music (the intro theme) and transitioning to Mario Kart, which is a sort of fake-out since MK8 info was hot news back then (and make people think Kirby content was coming to the game)

[@joghnythegurue2710]

Samus in Mac's trailer is also likely a reference to the fact Samus is actually remarkably tall (around 6'3 if I recall), so the height disparity is especially apparent.

[@courage1363]

Well of course she is tall since its refencing how LITTLE Mac is suppose to be short like in the games he appeared in the Punch-Out!! series.

[@pearlplayaa]

I feel like Rosie and Margie being the only normal villagers featured in Villager's trailer (the others, Isabelle and Tom Nook, being special villagers) is a nod to the Animal Crossing movie where they were main characters

[@fl0_hrl]

It is a reference to that for sure

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Um. Animal Crossing Movie? What?

[@pearlplayaa]

@@TheSmart-CasualGamer yeah, there was an animal crossing movie

[@birbbabybirb]

Just a thought: Greninja standing on the stick could be a reference to Lucario standing on the icicle in Brawl. Probably not, but that's what it reminded me of.

[@razzberrypie]

Another thing about Wii Fit Trainer: The line "Weighs In" could be a reference to the practice in boxing or MMA where the fighters are weighed the day before a match, suggesting that WFT is ready to battle Edit: My goodness I wasn't ready for this many likes

[@roddybaba]

I always assumed thats exactly what it meant.

[@crimsonwerecat]

Came to the comments to mention this, saw you beat me to it!

[@darc5925]

0:57 can I just mention that Villager planted a bunch of tree saplings all next to each other, right by his house. If I'm not mistaken, you can't even do that in New Leaf without having them all wilt the next day.

[@benmalsky9834]

I can’t wait to see all the references and homages in later trailers because they go all out.

[@Klonoahedgehog]

One of my favorite little references in these smash trailers is the one in Jokers where he sits next to Pirahna plant, as reference to the plant Joker can take care of in P5. Which i dont think anyone actually did. (I only found out you can take care of the plant in my third playthrough of the game lol)

[@James-lx9nz]

At least in base P5 kindness is kind of hard to come by super consistently so taking care of the plant is actually pretty useful. Any time you can get social stats without advancing time you should take so it's definitely worth it.

[@mitchnin10dofan]

I’ll never forget seeing DK yawning and instantly knowing that it’s King K. Rool and losing my mind during the reveal. Also the same goes for when the second I saw Incineroar’s eyes.

[@NunofYerbizness]

2:42 Considering it also shows up in Mega Man's final smash, I've kinda always saw "Joins the Battle" as maybe a reference to the Battle Network games.

[@zachgamemaster3329]

Little bit of a stretch, but I like it. So I shall approve of it being intentional.

[@Dresfvae]

That’s a very far of a stretch considering canonically both takes place in different universes. Plus the only reference to Battle Network is .Exe himself

[@worldsboss]

Aaaah that’s smart. I interpreted it as a reference to Brawl’s reveals, where all fighters were revealed with “joins the brawl”. I could be misremembering though.

[@AgentDajo]

For Little Mac, his rapid punches are actually a reference to how fast he really is in the Wii game. If you pay attention to the timer, it slows down when Little Mac stuns and punches his opponents.

[@etrotm1226]

I remember when I was 13 back in 2009 when I first played Brawl for the first time. I took notice of Palutena (for various reasons). I played a lot of Smash Bros Rumble (Old PC Smash Bros fan game a lot of people played before we had Smash Bros Crusade) and saw Pit's final smash in that, but not Palutena until I played Brawl. Of course I fell in love at first site cuz look at her. But I made a prediction to myself saying "What of she makes it in the next game assuming we get a next game?" Naturally I forgot over time cuz 2009, 2014, that's a long enough time. Then BOOM I gotten the game on Wii U (along with the Wii U too) the year it came out and saw her in the game. I was happy.

[@glitchicano6829]

Palutena was my dream character to join. When I played brawl for the first time as a kid I was hoping you could unlock her. Most people told me she was too obscure to join and I completely believed that. My phone was blowing up the day she was revealed lol

[@dippin4dots]

Little Mac fights Dedede in the ring, and Dedede is first fought in and is commonly fought in rings, and after that he fights DK who also features in Punch Out! Wii

[@Rabbid4240]

4:50 Something of note here is that the Robot Masters in Mega Man 6 were created by unknown scientists from all over the world for the Robot Tournament, and then taken over by Dr. Wily, so technically Flame Man's model number shouldn't be DWN (even though it is his canon model number)

[@linkoftw2605]

Yeah sadly same thing for the cossack robot masters no DCN

[@bleyization]

To this day I have chills whenever I see the MegaMan reveal trailer. And I have a place in my heart for the Mii one, just to see Iwata and Regi fight

[@gr8gmr]

So glad to see a video explaining the references within these character reveal trailers. I always tried looking for these references myself but there weren't any videos that explained them like this. Hope to see more videos like this real soon.

[@ARDIZsq]

Interesting to hear that Shaft were the ones who did the Palutena trailer. As for my favorite trailer, it's that one, out of the ones in this video. For my ACTUAL favorite, it's a toss up between Sora and Inkling. Sora's was more me going "he's finally here," as at the time, he was my most wanted fighter, which apparently I had a good track record with because I wanted Inkling, Sephiroth, Pyra/Mythra, and Sora in the game, in that order, and that's what happened. Inkling's was amazing to me because it evoked a HUGE feeling of nostalgia for me, since Splatoon is one of if not my favorite video game series of all time, up there with Pokemon. Seeing that Splatoon 1 trailer recreated made me so happy and excited for something new for Splatoon, but then seeing it go dark and having the fiery Smash ball made me go "oh shit, this is happening."

[@worldsboss]

Inkling’s reveal made the whole community collectively lose their minds with hype. Even though we got some incredible trailers, I don’t think anything will truly top that.

[@CaptBlock]

I think it's also worth pointing out that Palutena's design was changed between her trailer and the game's release due to age ratings.

[@ZTimeGamingYT]

The smaller details really show the love poured into a game, especially based on a collaboration of dozens of characters.

[@nixuniverse5240]

Greninja’s trailer makes me feel like there was a Story Mode in the works that was scrapped. Why’s Kirby just randomly holding a Star Rod ? I know it’s from his game but never has he ever just had a Star Rod on him like that.

[@exetone]

Probably not this, they just needed another projectile to be thrown

[@jamesheatherly4209]

We knew that story mode was planned, but got canceled because people kept posting the Subspace cutscenes online.

[@generaljimmies3429]

If the Mario movie does well, well, here's hoping for a Nintendo cinematic universe, or NCU.

[@PlayrR3D156]

Imma be honest, I love the feeling of unlocking characters because it really feels like there's a character witnessing your strength and wanting to challenge you. As for reveal trailers a few of them are Everyone is Here, Mega Man, Steve and Little Mac. Also, they did Mega Man dirty with his splash art. I wish it were something other than "Joins the Battle" because that's literally the default.

[@TommyTheCat_05]

for wii trainers splash screen, i belive the flavor text is a refreince to boxing, where you weigh in before your first match, determining what weight class you go in. hope i could help!

[@ClawsAndTeeth]

Mega Man's trailer was unbelievably hype. As someone who grew up playing the Mega Man games, the Robot Master montage was just flat out awesome! I'm also a sucker for a good underdog comeback story, so Mega Man losing midway through just made it better. That's my boy!

[@JustAPrinnyDood]

One other thing in Little Mac's trailer is there are stars behind him during the splash reveal, referencing the Star Punches

[@Bloody_FOXY47040]

I can't wait for ultimate origins for the trailers, I will NEVER forget the Steve and Alex trailer. I have been playing minecraft for 10 years and as SOON as I saw the blocky pixels and the explosion noise when Mario bust through the cave, I Exploded (no pun intended!) My second favorite Videogame character (after mario) that I grew up with that joined my favorite nintendo game of ALL made me more happy then I've ever been in my depressing life😔

[@Leet-iz2fz]

The Charizard and Fennekin shot may also be a reference to what Charizard did as a Poké Ball summon in 64 and Melee, a role which Fennekin kind of fills as a replacement, shooting fire back and forth.

[@mongodroid4842]

2:05 could also be a reference to the "WARNING" that blares before a boss fight in more modern MegaMan games, like in MegaMan Zero (♥) or MegaMan X

[@MartynAndStuff]

In case, it hasn't been done in the next video, Roy's Smash 4 reveal trailer explicitly references a meme about Roy enjoying curry (a reference to a photo contest back in the Melee days where one of the screenshots was Roy reaching out to a superspicy curry using his down(?) taunt)

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

Man seeing these again took me BACK. Back to even when the smash 4 polls were happening and I put Sora in it and look now, he's in smash finally! I cannot wait for when you cover all the dlc and ultimate reveal trailers!!!

[@DauntlessBlade___]

Amazing video concept

[@MumboMod]

0:18 Randomly discovering someone was in the game by playing the game was the hypest part of Melee. Like oh shit, Luigi is here! Omg Mewtwo! It was such a surprise ❤️

[@doorbox788]

Weigh in is a pun for how in pretty much every 1v1 sport that has weight classes (boxing, wrestling, MMA, etc.), you have weigh ins before hand. I always assumed her reveal trailer was referencing this, not her giving her opinion on smash bros.

[@Aaronitmar]

I am so stupid, you are 100% correct

[@dna_and_dan_komasansy]

Small thing i kinda missed, in greninjas trailer one of the could is pac man shaped. Thought it was a neat little hint thst he'll be revealed soon too

[@CouchSpud91]

I just wanna say that randomly finding a fighter you didn't know about in the game was actually relly damn awesome and had a charm to it. Yes, you don't get the fandom excitement from the announcement trailer, but that sudden surprise of "OH SHIT IT'S HIM!" when their silhouette appeared in Melee is a memory that many cherish.

[@Dayashii]

something of note is the rosalina reveal trailer has kirby air ride's opening theme, possibly refrencing the fact both mario and kriby have racing games and are now crossing over, especially with kirby on the warp star

[@slabofbeef7104]

Seeing 5'7" Little Mac next to 6'3" Samus always makes me laugh.

[@BJGvideos]

[@MateusDrake]

10:25 Little Mac punching DK can be a reference to the fact that he is a secret boss in Punch Out for the Wii

[@awesomejacketdude]

0:17 What are you talking about? That was one of the best things about Smash Bros. It was the whole mystery of unlocking new characters in Smash Bros while playing the game wondering what character that you'll get next by doing a specific challenge or certain task. It was extremely exciting of what will you see.

[@Compucles]

No, if nothing else, it's much better knowing the unlock conditions in advance so that you can unlock the characters as a reasonable pace and never getting completely stuck at how to unlock anyone. Naturally, this also means finding out in advance which characters will be unlocked by those methods.

[@SupaidaFan]

17:43 “Now I scan finally beat Abe as members of AKB48”

[@acidthewolf3603]

another thing to note about mega man’s reveal is that before we see him use metal blade we hear a drum beat that references mega man 2’s weapon get screen

[@JuanGomez-ke5py]

4:42 mugman joins the battle

[@spystar18]

I'm glad we get to really appreciate how much though was put into trailers

[@SonicKid7]

I imagine in the Little Mac trailer, Dedede being the first opponent in the gameplay section is a reference to his first fight in a boxing ring.

[@CaptainKirbyCK]

I always thought that the intro to Charizard and Greninja's reveal was a nod to the opening for Pokemon Stadium for N64 before you turn the game on.

[@sirvincerd9346]

Mega man's was the most action packed and detailed imo. Sakurai definitely treated fans of Mega Man very well.

[@smartboy201]

The reason they went with Luigi when "sneaking up to olimar" is likely because, among those with a confirmed "Crawl" animation from the Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi is the one who best fits the situation. Wario's basically "swimming", and Bowser's... yeah...

[@yosoyflips]

Just realized that Mac's jump rope from the trailer could've been his up special for recovery since it literally propels him upwards lol. Just make his uppercut his up smash

[@Chelarino]

interestingly, in the sequence where villager misses luma multiple times with his net on skyloft, plays out next to what is (if i remember correctly) the home of batreaux, a character whose sidequest revolves completely around so called "gratitude crystals", which could be seen as visually similar to a yellow luma also, while these aren't necessarily collected using the net, a bugnet IS a very prominent item in skyward sword, and also one of the few you actually get in skyloft also i'm pretty sure samus rolling in front of mac and doc is just a funny tumbleweed joke, but again referencing the connection between mac and samus

[@GameurBlais]

Wait, for the villager trailer, the two villager we saw are the two character from the animal crossing japanese movie!

[@AUSans101]

Great job on the video!

[@paperaaron6486]

You forgot to mention the song from Kirby air rides opening cutscene in Rosalina’s reveal trailer

[@KayFiOS]

16:49 For a moment, I thought I heard Gaijin Goombah screaming...

[@paceycastaneda5238]

Mii Fighters in the AKB48 CM: Mayu Watanabe (Graduated from AKB48 in 2018) (As Fighter) Yuki Kashiwagi (Currently with AKB48) (As Swordfighter) Minami Takahashi (Graduated from AKB48 in 2016) (As Gunner)

[@TY-im1sg]

In Rosalina’s reveal trailer, I like the little touch with the characters they picked to used for the race Like this might be a stretch honestly, but it might not just be because they’re in the game, but because Mario, Luigi, Peach, DK, and Bowser are veteran characters thats been in every Mario Kart since the first one

[@Adriethyl]

The kirby in space bit is from the Super Star Ultra opening...

[@christiella8233]

The Pac-Man characters of Mario sonic and Mega Man was in reference to the fact that they were Namco’s main rivals that being Sega, Nintendo,and capcom

[@2-Way_Intersection]

6:22 this could also reference how in sports like boxing, players 'weigh in' before matches presumably to assign weight classes (note: i'm only really aware it's a thing, i'm not 100% sure about it's purpose or frequency) EDIT: 9:26 i dont think he's so much flying as this is just a prolonged anime style jump

[@sanicboistolen]

I always thought the camera scrolling by the Pokémon in Charizard and greninja’s trailer was a reference to brawl’s intro

[@jamesheatherly4209]

My favorite was Kazuya’s because I liked how it lead to it looking like a new trailer for Tears of the Kingdom.

[@catriamflockentanz]

1:51 No mention of the game title "Animal Crossing: Let's go to the City"? 10:17 Funfact: If you go with the canon height of the characters Little Mac is actually _not_ among the short characters. 12:15 Also Red Pikmin are (normally) immune to Fire so throwing one of them would be a natural choice for Olimar.

[@user-iv9jk1tf3x]

Little Mac punching donkey kong could be a reference to donkey kong being a secret boss for wii punch out but I don’t think so

[@fl0_hrl]

Rosie and Margie are present because they were part of the star crew in the Animal Crossing: Animal Forest animated movie, so here's an additional reference

[@leahbennett7126]

My favorite reveal trailer is always gonna be the Everyone is Here trailer solely because of xD1x's reaction

[@vicbaez]

Charizards tagline could have been "charizard fires back" as he is technically a repeated character

[@mikemath9508]

"even worse" ? fucking loved SSBM's unlocks. you didn't know what was coming or why. I remember my friend getting Melee when it came out and we were playing vs, i was winning of course. and then "warning, character approaching" it was god damn swordboy marth, some guy we'd never heard of, so we both played as him for a few rounds.

[@Mariogamer369]

this rainbow road track is so different like from Mario kart series also Theres no starting line it say Mario kart on starting line Logo and no item box in rainbow road of Rosalina trailer

[@sonder420]

Also in the trailer pacman is shown clashing with the water from the fire hydrant. In game it doesn't have that attribute and just pushes him

[@trustindean5164]

Weighing In most typically refers to boxing or wrestling where you "weighing in" is establishing your weight class to determine where you go. It's kind of shorthand for saying "getting started", hence why in boxing matches and stuff they will say stuff like "coming in at 178 pounds, its _____"

[@Greenboi32]

6:44 I'm pretty sure this is DS Rainbow Road

[@Gleon115]

For the Animal Crossing one I would like to point out both of those villagers are in the Japan only animated movie as well and it could be a rare nod to it as well

[@enzo1673]

5:10 I don’t remember this smash trailer

[@MrAuthor3DS]

Small thought I had when thinking of "By Book, Blade, and Crest of Flame". Probably nothing, since it's not how it works in games like Awakening, but...in the Tellius games (Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn), wind tomes were strong against fire tomes. So that could be a reason why Robin countered Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch - a fist charging with fire - with Elwind? ...Eh, probably not. Like I said, that magic element triangle only really applies to the Tellius games. (EDIT) Ah, okay, it's also in Genealogy of the Holy War.

[@pokedude720]

Um, achtually, the magic triangle 1st appeared in Genealogy.

[@CaptBlock]

The opening of Charizard/Greninja's trailer had a higher animation budget than the entire Pokemon franchise.

[@jameswallace3439]

2:00 I remember when people were getting on the Smash 4 hype train after this trailer came out.

[@maiastniki]

Mario and Luigi with Pokéballs, trying to catch Lucario and Greninja. Mario = Red; Luigi = Green. Red and Green are the names of the trainers of Pokémon Red and Green, respectively.

[@gromgaming7438]

In the greninja trailer, just after he water jets away, you can see a pac man in the clouds

[@JakeSm4sh]

A trip down memory lane

[@kirbysmith64]

Another tidbit: Right before Mega Man uses the Flame Blast, his Mega Busters open up on the sides. Sakurai explains this is to vent himself out since he will overheat when he uses both hands. (He does the same thing when using the Spark Shot.) While Mega Man's arms never vented like this in the games, it's a reference to _Super Rockman Adventure,_ a Japan-exclusive game for the PS1, where it's revealed that if Mega Man were to use both of his busters at the same time, he would overheat.

[@richie404]

I love Megaman's Trailer.

[@davey_rulez7301]
