Masahiro Sakurai Talks Super Smash Bros. 4

IGN:

Masahiro Sakurai, the man behind the Super Smash Bros. franchise, has teased what fans can expect from the next entry in the series.

Up until now very little has been revealed about the as-yet-untitled Smash Bros. game planned for Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS, aside from the fact it's being developed by Namco.

Sounds great to me. I am excitied for a new Smash Bros.

gamerben4314d ago

I'm not sure about this namco business. it's a good company, but for a game based off of nintendo characters, you would expect it to be developed by nintendo themselves.

Diegon4313d ago

the legend of zelda minish cap = nintendo/capcom
metroid prime = nintendo/retro
donkey kong country returns = nintendo/ retro

now if its the more controversial metroid other m maybe but it wasnt all bad in my opinion

gamerben4313d ago

Still, I see no reason why nintendo needs namco to develop the next smash bros game, it seems nonsensical.

As for Other M, it seems like more and more people are beginning to like that game. Which I really don't understand, imo the gameplay was equally as bad as the story. The controls are downright silly. If they wanted to make it feel more like a 2D metroid game, then they should have made it 2D (or 2.5d). the 3D depth doesn't allow you to control the game like you would want. if you want to aim upwards, you have to flick the remote at the screen, which is very tedious.

ChickeyCantor4313d ago

It's not a matter of need, but a matter of realizing that Namco could probably contribute to the franchise. Their mindsets are different. Sakurai is still in charge. I dont see why he would destroy his own game.

DarkBlood4313d ago

we are forgetting that the reason they have another company involve is to make the development go faster so we dont have to wait so long

Sgt_Slaughter4313d ago

This better release quicker than Brawl did... having an E3-announced delay is low. XD

I'll be playing P.A.S.B.Y. in the meantime to hold me over.

TotalSynthesisX4313d ago

2013? That's a surprise. I figured it would be at least 2014 before it's released. Hopefully it won't be rushed.

And I don't like this Namco deal. Smash Bros is supposed to be fully Nintendo. That also leads me to my next point: As much as I enjoyed Snake and Sonic in Brawl, I don't think Smash 4 should have any third-parties. It just ruins the "Nintendo" aspect of it. I mean, I used to think (way back when Snake was announced to appear in Brawl) that whoever said including third-parties is not a good idea was crazy. Now I know where they're coming from.

Anyway... regardless of how many 3Ps appear, I'll have it preordered as soon as I can.

gamerben4313d ago

I agree, there are so many articles like "ADD MEGAMAN, ADD BOMBERMAN, ADD CLOUD, etc." It's like after solid snake was unveiled for brawl, people now view it as a "Videogame allstars fight" rather than a "nintendo allstars fight"

Firelotus24313d ago

I had to put in immense amounts of effort in order to restrain myself for making the troll comment: "What is this game that's trying to rip off Playstation All Stars?". I didn't want to establish myself as a troll being a new user. However controversial though I feel that Nintendo's new controller will prove to be an extraordinary addition to the Super Smash Gameplay that we've all grown to love. Even though I've never owned Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I played it very often and actually enjoyed the various options in terms of controllers.

It's a "scroll wheel" feature on the controller. Switch 2 rumored to have one.

XiNatsuDragnel179d ago

Scroll wheel would be in line with nintendos uniqueness I find appealing imo.

Rainbowcookie178d ago

Just wish they would lower their prices after games are a few years old. Its hard in countries where the exchange rate kills gaming. 1 game is = to and 1/8 of their paycheck. Hard to play a nice mario when its like that.

0hMyGandhi178d ago

Damn, you guys got mean marios over there?

GotGame818178d ago (Edited 178d ago )

Nintendo used to lower prices back in the Gamecube Wii days. They were called Nintendo Selects and priced $20.00. They haven't done that in years. Nintendo should!

FinalFantasyFanatic177d ago

@GotGame818,

I miss those days, they didn't even lower prices for 3DS games before they scuttled new Eshop purchases, or prices on physical copies. I've also noticed the discounts for Switch games aren't as good now that the pandemic has been over for a while, especially on first party games. I wish they would bring the Selects back and drop $20 off the price permanently.

DazaMc178d ago

It's about time for Arkanoids return!

Brazz178d ago

Scroll Wheel would be very cool. Legit great feature for games that need select skills, itens, weapons, etc.

Tacoboto178d ago

Especially if "next to the triggers" means clickable scroll wheels instead of bumpers/L1R1.

That would be so great for games where those buttons already bring up in-game select wheels

Knightofelemia178d ago

Was not one of my favorite consoles but the shit a person could do with it. A gameboy player was about the reason why I liked the GC. And taking it apart to clean it pretty simple I wish Nintendo would let the gameboy player work on the Switch.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Has Been Labelled A ‘Masterpiece’ By Super Smash Bros. Creator

Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has spent his weekend playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and has come away more than a little impressed, labelling both games as masterpieces.

eagle21217d ago

Nice! I guess he considers them a "smashing" success. ;p

InUrFoxHole217d ago

Well played sir... well played!

CrimsonWing69217d ago

You win “comment of the day!”

Tzuno217d ago

He must be having quite a low standards when it comes to games
Saying that Reskin 2 is Masterpiece... lol

Dandizzle217d ago

salty much? SM2 is absolutely a masterpiece.

Unknown_Gamer5794217d ago

Just a troll who can’t handle MS taking third place yet again with 2023 exclusives, with their supposed “GotG” not getting the reception it was expected to. Nothing to see here.

GrizzliS1987217d ago

What does he know, 7/10 no name reviewers are much more credible.
Ps: starfield 10/10 easily

FinalFantasyFanatic217d ago

It's Sakurai, I think you need to learn your game developers better, in fact, he has a whole Youtube channel dedicated to game design. I think he knows a thing or two about what makes a good game.

Nerdmaster217d ago

Spider-Man confirmed in Smash Bros Multiverse on Switch U!
