AM I the only one who thinks that the announcement of characters previously in Smash games really isn't exciting at all?

IIZANGETSUII3805d ago

I'm with you, but its always nice to see who joins the roster (even old characters) i was not expecting this one

Kennytaur3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

Sakurai, the guy in charge of SSB, is also the creator of Kirby. King Dedede is a Kirby character.

He's the link between worlds.

BTW, I didn't disagree, it's not that common knowledge.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

Uh all characters reveal were solely base on Japan Releases. Kirby Triple Deluxe release in Japan Today. King Dedede is the main theme of that game.

-Foxtrot3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

I know what you mean, they are just coming out of no where

Remember Brawl when they had a site with question marks on it and they slowly counted down to each reveal.

I'm sick of these screenshots they keep doing everyweek,

I'd rather of them announced a bunch of features and characters while they were at the VGA's

Kennytaur3805d ago

Sakurai posts a new screenshot every day (except Sundays, I think) on Miiverse to keep fans in the loop. That's where most of the pics come from.

It's a nice little daily thing for fans.

There's a pattern of one new character reveal per month.

_QQ_3805d ago

I don't think flying sakurai to US for the crappy VGX was something Nintendo should have done.

FlyingFoxy3805d ago

Not really, i don't really understand the overall hype for the series either.. It's nothing special imo.

Kennytaur3805d ago

It's the Mario Kart of fighting games. Incredible fun with friends.

Qrphe3805d ago

I hope Smash's roster doesn't go into the DBZ Tenkaichi levels of variety if it already hasn't like Brawl did. Im sure as hell Im not alone in wanting characters from more obscure Nintendo IPs. Only new IP into Smash so far has been Megaman.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3805d ago

DBZ Tenkaichi games has over 100 characters including forms. Brawl was no where near that.

BosSSyndrome3805d ago

And animal crossing. And wii fit.

The way they did it with Dojo was awesome, this way is kind of boring but at least we are getting info.

I think they are trying to get most of the known or past characters revealed first and maybe save a surprise or two for the end.

Not every character is always brought back from game to game. Nice for fans to know a character they enjoy is bring brought back.

I don't mind how they do this. Feels much more like the developer is communicating with the community. Plus it does well to keep the hype going.

Not sure if it is the best or not. Brawl had a bit to much hype and never was going to be able to live up to expectations. Loved the game though.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

The roster is complete just haven't reveal the rest of the 17-25 cast.

ZeekQuattro3805d ago

Glad to see the king returning. Seeing how the reveals lately are based on the recent releases of Zelda & Kirby its probably a safe bet that when Tropical Freeze drops Diddy will get revealed next. Who knows Nintendo might even place Dixie or Cranky on the roster or as assist trophies.

I feel bad for Smash fans. Those guys have been trying to maintain the scene active for 20+ years and get nothing but hate from Nintendo.

RoseSapphire387d ago

Sakurai explains how he and Nintendo still don't understand how the internet works.

FTFY

Snookies12387d ago

Exactly, online play would be wonderful on Smash if Nintendo gave a crap about their online services. To be fair though, Nintendo's online offerings would be great if it were 15-20 years ago lol.

jambola387d ago

I've always said that Nintendo is either innovative and ahead of the curve
or 20 years behind, no in between

CrimsonWing69387d ago

I’m sorry, but if a game is MP then there’s no f*cking argument that can justify no online MP. What he says about competition being different from just playing with friends shows me how out of touch these people are.

It’s not until a new generation that understands things steps in to clean-house that we’ll see some evolution here.

Vanfernal387d ago

His argument is nonsensical. "You'd be limited to just playing people from your region". As opposed to being limited to playing people FROM YOUR COUCH!

CrimsonWing69387d ago

What I don’t get is how do you not have competition and experience the same issue if you have a friend that’s way better than you?

GoodGuy09387d ago

It's a big fighting game so online multiplayer is a must. Competitive smash is the only thing I see fun in these games anymore asides from the big character reveals, singleplayer is laughable and you ain't gunna have people over for couch gaming much.

If Nintendo makes a new smash, it needs a huge evolution for singleplayer/couch play to be enjoyable for me any more. But we all know they'll just do a deluxe edition for their next console lol. They really need to up their servers as well.

NotoriousWhiz387d ago (Edited 387d ago )

I can't imagine Nintendo producing a better smash game than ultimate. Roll it forward with a deluxe edition maybe with an extra character or two and call it a day.

Some other developers can try pushing platform fighters to the next level, because I don't think Nintendo is up to the task.

DarthZoolu387d ago

They already created a better smash brothers game than ultimate when they created melee

masterfox387d ago

he sounds more like is trying to justify Nintendo ineptitude to create a proper network infrastructure in order to Smash Brothers work properly online.

Xenoblade Chronicles X needs a remake when Switch 2 comes out! The game was fantastic, and it looked great! Better than most Switch games.

It isn't going to happen though. Monolith soft said "it is way too big", and would be too costly. I would absolutely buy that again, especially a remake or even a remaster.

Xenoblade Chronicles X should have sold better.

Sgt_Slaughter549d ago

One of the games I'm grateful that I found in-stock at GameStop before they quickly cleared nearly all pre-PS4/One/Switch games from their stores.

Nyxus549d ago

Perhaps if the series sold a little more on Switch, it would be worth it to do a port. If only some of those Pokemon numbers went to Xenoblade...

Sirk7x548d ago (Edited 548d ago )

I don't see how it would be too costly for them, when even a 1:1 Switch port would sell far better than the Wii U version ever did. It'd sell a million copies easy. Also, it is kinda crazy how good that game still looks.

GotGame818546d ago

X looks better than the Switch Xenoblade games.

Profchaos549d ago (Edited 549d ago )

Thank you homebrew community for breathing life into the system Nintendo spent years trying to forget.

One of my favourite systems for homebrew along with the Xbox, vita and ps2

Sirk7x548d ago

Huge library of great games with a modded Wii U. Virtual console, including injections, emulation, Wii U, Wii and Gamecube games with Nintendont on vWii.

FinalFantasyFanatic548d ago

Please port Xenoblade Chronicles X, I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet since everything else pretty much got ported to the Switch.

Ranking the Super Smash Bros. Games From Worst To Best

There are few franchises that seem to have been played by almost everyone in the world at least once. Standing with titans like Pac-Man, Mario Kart, and Call of Duty, Super Smash Bros. is a household name.

Been playing Smash Bros. since the original came out and this is one list I can whole heartedly agree on.

Kinda interested in the game (Switch), but its consistently high price combined with 2 equally expensive Season Passes means I’ll probably never get to own/play it.

Inverno1019d ago

Most likely they'll release a deluxe edition for the Switch 2 cause they've shown no interest in re-releasing any of their games with dlc in "complete edition"s. But having to buy another Nintendo console wouldn't really be a good solution either.

Yi-Long1019d ago

They might, but I assume just re-releasing this game on next gen will get the existing fans angry, who would prefer a completely new Smash game (like they’re upset about there not being a new Mario Kart this gen).

Seeing how very few Switch games I actually bought, because of those high prices by Nintendo, I also doubt I’d invest in a new console from Nintendo.

FinalFantasyFanatic1019d ago

@Yi-Long,

I would kill for a new Mario Kart, 8 isn't bad by any stretch, but it doesn't make the best of the Switch's capabilities, although I pretty excited for that new Mario Party. I do own quite a few Switch games, but I'd own more if the games weren't so expensive, it they're not Nintendo exclusive I end up buying elsewhere.
