Nintendo took an unusual approach to E3 this year, foregoing its traditional big press conference in favor of a video livestream. Fans can give you a laundry list of reasons the event should come back to future E3s in a big, but here's a biggie: It's sad to think that the Nokia theater remained empty and silent when it should have been reverberating with roars of approval upon Mega Man's Super Smash Bros. reveal.
In a relatively short time, Generation VI's Ninja Pokémon has become wildly popular, outpacing nearly 900 other Pokemon.
While some Smash fans may have hoped for a more recognizable character, Super Smash Bros. as a whole has borrowed so much from SNK games that Terry is a natural fit. In fact, an SNK character probably should have been included much earlier.
Super Smash Bros. didn’t just emerge, fully formed, as a way for Nintendo to keep contemporary characters in the front of our minds while introducing newer players to classic characters, games, and even music. The series owes a lot to SNK, and The King of Fighters.
When Super Smash Bros. Creator, Masahiro Sakurai, showcased Smash Ultimate's latest guest fighter, Terry Bogard, he brought up the fact that one of Fatal Fury's most popular characters, Mai Shiranui, would not be making an appearance in the game at all and alluded to her sexual nature as the main reason.
It turns out that Sakurai and his team had a bit of a back and forth with CERO during the development of Super Smash Bros. for Wii-U circa 2012 as the rating organization actually asked the Smash team to turn female characters upside down for panty shot angles.
Well now it makes sense why some of the character clothes in smash Bros was changed
Censors? CERO isn't a censorship organization. It's a rating board and it's no more censors than the ESRB.
They don't ask you to censor your game. They give you a rating depending on its content, no more, no less. If you want a lower rating than what you're given, that's on you.
That would be an interesting job duty, even if it’s in the name of censorship. Someone was literally paid to do a panty check on female characters, lulz.
Games will show muscle men's nips, but God forbid a quick glimpse of princess Peach's vagina. Hypocrisy!!!
Now they have no "but mega man is irrelevant to today's gamer" excuse.
If smash could revive and popularise obscure IPs like kid Icarus and fire emblem, then mega man will be introduced to millions of young new gamers who haven't heard much about the franchise.
Well the fans have been clamoring, and rightfully so. Capcom better have something creative up their sleeves for Mega Man. That franchise deserves a lot more love than its current IP holders are giving.
This is a franchise that I really wish they would revive. And I mean "megaman" not "X"(sry never was a huge fan).
If done right could work great outside of being just a sidescroller. I say draw some inspiration from DMC
