Sakurai Considering Mewtwo for Next Smash Bros. Games

Mewtwo may return in Smash Bros., possibly with his new X and Y form.

Masahiro Sakurai is considering having Mewtwo return in the next Smash Bros. games.

During last week’s Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Developer Roundtable at E3 there was a Q & A session with Tsunekazu Ishihara, President and CEO of the Pokémon Company, and Junichi Masuda, Director at Game Freak. I was fortunate enough to ask the men the following question:

“Can you go into more detail on how Mewtwo changes forms, and would you like this new form to appear in the new Smash Bros.?”

Why...he was already in Smash Bros, I know others have been but they've been around for a long time.

I'd rather they get a new character to be honest.

kirbyu3992d ago

Technically you would, now that he'd have 2 forms.

TXIDarkAvenger3992d ago

Well he does have a new form right? Though I'd prefer them inputting his original form.

Anyways, Mewtwo is more iconic than Lucario so if they must, replace Lucario with Mewtwo.

vickers5003992d ago

Mewtwo was probably my favorite character from Melee (if not, then top 3 at least), and I was disappointed when they took him out. Lucario is all right, but I preferred mewtwo a lot more.

DEATHxTHExKIDx3992d ago

they need to balance him better then he was too floaty in melee.

Fierce Musashi3992d ago

Hopefully only his old design.

SAYGUH3992d ago

Yea I agree, keep his old form. If his new form is added, make it optional like Sheik or Zero Suit Samus. One more, Im beggin you guys to support a spot for Meowth. Tweet, comment, whatever plz support Meowth

GenHero3992d ago

i don't get why some people want Meowth as a playable character, there's nothing special about him. plus there are enough playable Pokemon already.

SAYGUH3992d ago

Meowth is as iconic just like Pikachu & Mewtwo. Pikachu's # 25, while Meowth is # 52. They are considered opposites, hero vs villian, cat & mouse.

Jagsrock3992d ago

I'm all for mewtwo returning. I'm not clear on how he changes to his other form in x/y(is it temporary or is it a evolution?) but im sure they'll have him change some how in game, either with a shiek Zelda mechanic zero suit style or perhaps you can change after a certain amount of damage. What ever it is I'd take mewtwo over lucario or any other Pokemon any day.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H93d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX3d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H93d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro3d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos2d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger883d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk773d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos3d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris3d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno20d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
