maybe they just don't want to deal with ratings boards this time or whatever
The first round had 4, this one has 3.Last time around, there were 5. Are there just 3 this second wave?
Yeah, but not too surprising from the company behind "we get our own Directs"Pretty disappointing to see S/V get a whole wave.
It better have 4 so that the last row is filled in all the way.I hope the next and final spirit event has five spirits...
I can confirm that they did not add support for the Shiver, Frye, Big Man, Noah, or Mio amiibo, sadly. Figured that was the case when nothing about that was in the patch notes, but I checked anyway just in case…
Yeah, but that happened in an update that also had balance changes and added support for the remaining upcoming DLC fighter amiibo (minus Sora), and before the development team would have fully disbanded, whereas now that support for the Sora amiibo has finally been added, there’s not really any other need for them to update the game again, and I doubt they’d do another update just to add support for those other amiibo purely to have them unlock spirits. I guess it’s possible, but I doubt it.There's at least a small chance they may add that support after they become part of the regular spirit rotation; support for the Dread amiibo was only in the December 2021 patch even though the amiibo were available before Sora's update.
This isn’t new content. They’re not adding anything new to the game, it’s just an online event with rules set that require teaming up with an amiibo. It’s nothing the game wasn’t already capable of before.the fact the third tweet says they're adding some sort of "amiibo Tag Tournament" mode to the game definitely makes me think Switch 2 is only going to get an enhanced port of Ultimate rather than a whole new title.
the fact they've been consistently adding new content in the lead up (almost) to the launch of the new system was suspicious enough. but i believe this fully settles it.
and playtest, because they're battles that need to be clearedthe new spirits just require someone to plug in some parameters and slap some images together.
I mean, I guess, maybe?? But it would hardly require anywhere near the amount of play testing that actual new content like DLC fighters or balance changes would.and playtest, because they're battles that need to be cleared
There's one wave left that hasn't happened yet, yeah.Hmmm. Am i wrong or wasn't there supposed to be another wave of spirits?
This feels the most likely, but they'd have to announce it very soon. Wouldn't be surprised if there were more SMRPG spirits too.Wonder if they’re gonna have the last spirit event be for MAR10 Day and feature spirits from Princess Peach: Showtime! and Super Mario Bros. Wonder…
They still need to announce the release dates for Luigi’s Mansion 2 and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, too, which they surely will very soon, if not on MAR10 Day, so I imagine there’s a good chance all of this gets announced at or around the same time.This feels the most likely, but they'd have to announce it very soon. Wouldn't be surprised if there were more SMRPG spirits too.
Okay, so this didn’t happen… It’s gotta be a standalone spirit event for Princess Peach: Showtime! then, right?? I mean, what else could it be? If it was for an older game, why wouldn’t it have been done by now? Plus Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 both already have spirits, so there’s nothing really to pull from there. And we already had a batch of random third-party spirits last time, so I don’t think we’ll get a second round of those right after that.Wonder if they’re gonna have the last spirit event be for MAR10 Day and feature spirits from Princess Peach: Showtime! and Super Mario Bros. Wonder…
brb gonna make a clickbait vid about how this means fighter pass 3 with Alear is basically confirmedVery surprised Engage didn't get a spirit out of any of these events.
They skipped a lot more than just Fire Emblem Engage; Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Nintendo Switch Sports, Bayonetta 3, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, Everybody 1-2-Switch!—all of those could and should have gotten spirits but none of them did. And that’s not even counting remakes/remasters or more iterative sequels that aren’t as viable for new spirits, either.Very surprised Engage didn't get a spirit out of any of these events.
I'm wondering if the Wonder Flower is its own spirit while Talking Flower pairs with Elephant Mario
All others have, so doubt they'll leave this one out.I missed the last two because I didn't have wifi and now I'll miss this one too... We thinking they'll put these waves into the game normally later?
