"I really enjoyed the new Super Smash Bros on the 3DS. Besides the novelty of finally having a portable Smash Bros, it’s just a very smartly put-together game, packing a ton of content into a small package. It runs smoothly, the circle-pad controls are easier to get used to than I anticipated, and overall it’s a tighter, faster game than Smash Bros Brawl on the Wii. That said, it has some limitations. The selection of stages in the 3DS version isn’t as robust as I’d like, and keeping track of all the action on a portable screen can be challenging at times. It’s clear that Smash Bros is pushing the absolute limits of the 3DS hardware—the console must reboot itself after you quit the game. I’d love to see how the New 3DS handles Smash Bros when we finally get the upgraded console here in the states, but for now it feels like Smash 3DS is outreaching its grasp just a bit."
Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros., explains why he believes online play isn't a good fit for the series.
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.
Sakurai explains how he and Nintendo still don't understand how the internet works.
FTFY
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.
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.
he sounds more like is trying to justify Nintendo ineptitude to create a proper network infrastructure in order to Smash Brothers work properly online.
Wii U recently celebrated its tenth anniversary, and in honor of the occasion, new data has revealed the top ten best-selling games of all time in the United States.
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.
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
Please port Xenoblade Chronicles X, I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet since everything else pretty much got ported to the Switch.
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.
The ONLY bad review so far is from that one weirdy with daddy issues, who didn't even list anything specific from the game.
Good to see everyone else can see this game for what it really is. One of the best video games ever made.
