Seconded. Smash Board on Wii U wasn't nearly as engaging as Smash Run on 3DS; I still don't feel I got to fully explore the entire map given it's vast complexity and how few people I knew had a 3DS, let alone SSB4 on 3DS to play multiplayer with.
But WoL overstayed its welcome due to just being endless fights with the occasional boss fight, something that the Event Mode concept wasn’t made for. It’s why I brought up Invasion Mode from MK1, as it suffered from the same issues & the game as a whole was considered a downgrade in single-player content.
i would rater prefer if Nintendo updates such games with patchs, that allow them to reach the maximum perfomance/frame rate they can do, like a patch to Bayonetta 3 that allow the game at 720p/60fps, is so anti-consumer made you buy a game just to have 4K/60fps on it, a parch that allow this is a much better solution, i completely agaist that, is the same as Sony is doing with the Last of Us Part 2(the game was already patched at 4K/60fps on PS5, now you sugest do the same to Tears of the Kingdom, absolutely ludicrous what you sugest
This too
You're too young to sound like me.
Those alone won’t cut it in an era where Capcom & (from the looks of it) Bamco are doing more to deliver a complete fighting game package than even NRS’s most recent outing.
You’ll need Nintendo to be willing to spend more on voice acting to get an actual story mode. As for roster cuts, they won’t axe half the roster unless they completely start from scratch (which hasn’t been done since 64 -> Melee).
Is it? Melee's Adventure Mode is one of my favorite things that Smash has ever done. I loved the silly platforming and different game world elements to it. But admittedly I'm a very casual Smash fan who doesn't particularly like fighting games, so I might just be looking for alternate play methods and things to do that aren't standard combat.
This is what it’s like to be stuck in purgatory
Well, if people want new gameplay mechanics, a bigger focus on SP content, and veterans with reimagined movesets, then you are going to have to make sacrifices. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Those are neat but that's not why I play the games. If the fighting is good, then a slight garnish of modes plus online play is all I want. Everything else is bloat.
That’s the exact mindset most of the genre used to have……until NRS started to eat their lunch. Capcom went too hard with said mindset with SFV at launch, & we all know how that turned out.
Like I said, Smash pretty heavily reuses assets between games (especially animations). Hell, Smash Wii U being the base for Ultimate was how they were able to bring everyone back. So while I expect there to be cuts, they won’t be massive unless the next Smash game completely clears the board (see SFV -> SF6 or MK11 -> MK1[2]).
Bronze.
And I'm saying that they should let go of this idea that most veterans should come back if they want to shake things up. If you expect majority of the veterans to return, then the whole conversation about rebooting and reimagining Smash is moot. Again, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
I never said they should completely reboot, hence why I mentioned that such a thing hasn’t been done since 64 -> Melee & how Smash usually relies on existing assets.
millions of nintendo fans put in a preorder
You couldn’t help yourself could you
Smash is batting in a different league than Capcom in terms of popularity. I think NRS did a great job with MK & Injustice but those games also have pretty big casual appeal that SF lacks.
And some time later: Mario Kart 8 - The Lost Tracks
i honestly thought you were like 40. you remind me of a friend i have who is also raccoon bastard and old so maybe i was just biased towards raccoons being old.
The alternative then is whatever you're unhappy with not being there with day one you're just stuck with until next generation, or longer. And resources being finite, you can never expect any new entry to be a superset of all previous games at launch, especially if we actually expect fresh things.
Splatoon 1.75. Next comes Splatoon 1.875.
It would allow for many of the same sorts of savings Lite has. No need for three separate batteries, three separate sets of motion controls, wireless Joy-Con communication, etc.
Aside from the four you mention, I think all that's left is Astro's Playroom and a few remasters of earlier PS4 games.
such contents on Animal Crossing New Horizons, was comtent that was day 1 on prior Animal Crossing games, why do i need to wait months just to have diving?features that should be day 1
Features like that would take time. Not everything can be made on time and ready day 1.
I think it’ll be similar, but much better because of third party. A new IP from Nintendo to launch day 1. BotW switched for Prime 4. Monolith Soft with a new IP. No Splatoon. We’ll see 3D Mario. Maybe Wave Race or Star Fox. Square, Capcom, EA, Rockstar, Sega, Atlus, Ubisoft, etc.
Changing Smash’s gameplay to be like Power Stone wouldn’t make it Smash anymore. It’d be like trying to make Street Fighter into a platform figure.
I think that depends on what is Smash for Sakurai and not for us. If for him Smash is a fighting game that serves as a crossover between different franchises, it can be either 2D, 2.5D or 3D.
At that point just call it Mario Kart 8 Ultimate
Smash takes core design philosophies from 2D fighters and Kirby. Sakurai created an entire new genre of Fighting games with Smash, in which it dominates for better or worse. Changing it to a dead, niche genre is a death sentence for the series.
