Or just an NG patch for ultimate.They may as well have put up red blinking lights on a sign saying "WE ARE BACK TO MAKING A NEW SMASH BROS" with this news. lol
I was thinking about this, actually. They could also use it as a smooth transition. Later down the road, they can add a next gen patch, and two years later, release the new SSB.I think Smash might be filling the role 8DX did for a bit in the Switch era of a game that will get a roadmap of future mystery content after quite a bit of silence. There's definitely a focus shifting to Smash again at least, I don't know if I'd bet on it getting a full next gen retail version, but I think Smash will be supported again, and I don't think they'd get casual fans to really care with just balance adjustments.
They know Mario Kart tracks and Smash characters get people REALLY talking, so I think we could be headed towards a Nintendo that passes off the two for marketing buzz, in between letting the other one breathe.
Sakurai’s not even involved anymore, and the only new content we’re getting is stuff that can be fairly easily added without an active development team like new spirits, events, and amiibo support.Can I have some more Mii costumes too, Sakurai? They don't count as new characters anyway. Just one is enough for me: Layton!
i wouldn't be surprised if part of the issue was that Disney had attempted their own line of interactive figurines before, which flopped.Can't imagine working with Disney was easy, they're very protective of Mickey and the rest, it's still a miracle we got an amiibo at all, imho
Wasn't Disney Infinity already dead before Smash even released? Although I could see it being maybe a point of contention.i wouldn't be surprised if part of the issue was that Disney had attempted their own line of interactive figurines before, which flopped.
The three games with new amiibo, plus Pikmin 4! Pretty much exactly what I’d expect, lol.
They only said we’re getting four new batches of spirits, and these are those four, so no, looks like no new Pokémon spirits unfortunately.I fear that there won't be a separate Scarlet and Violet Spirit event after that.
Like Pokémon Go and the lack of Galar. :4pacman:They only said we’re getting four new batches of spirits, and these are those four, so no, looks like no new Pokémon spirits unfortunately.

Depends on your time zone. Just guessing based on the usual Nintendo update release timing, it’ll be out 10:00am on the 12th in Japan, so that means it will be the day before in NA.So what's the start date? The 12th?
These aren't the four events; this is the first of the four events, which will cover four series (one spirit each it seems).

Yes, there are four spirit events and this is the first. It's confusing because this first one has its spirits divided up from four different games, but there will still be three more events with new spirits after this.Wait, So we be getting more spirits after these 4? I still quite don't understand. What's the chance of getting third party spirits?
I get what you mean. If it would be a special third party, the my hopes are up for either Red Dead Redemption or GTA Trilogy, since those games are special for a Nintendo way of thinking, and came out after Ultimate's end. It'll give me a kind of CJ in Smash in some sortsAnd I'd say the chance of getting third-party spirits is lower but not impossible. There aren't many events so this third-party would presumably have to be special in some way to be chosen to get spirits.
As of Splatoon, I can see Mr. Grizz being there, or Lil buddy, or Marigold.What if the next events are another character from each of these four series. So like Lanz/Sena, Sonia, Spiky Olimar, and New Squid Friend (idk Splatoon very well, sorry) as a hypothetical wave 2
We need an amiibo of oatsiJust a reminder that the spirits are now live!
The game has always had this feature. A bunch of spirits were added via events like this. Pretty sure the Switch is supposed to have some service analogous to SpotPass internally.Is this the first time spirits were added without a game update? Or was Evil Ryu also added that way?
They added an update so you have a rematch with every spirit from the collection page and get a high score for it. That's basically a mark of doing every single one twice.They could release an update where every spirit can be reobtained, but this time it has a star next to the name, and I would be excited to get every one again.
How is there no GaaS support for this game. I’ll take ANYTHING! Please!
