I have found myself saying this every year since 2011 (and never without truth) but I feel the 3DS really outdid itself this year. 2014 brought us so many special titles, too many for me to mention here (although please feel free to elaborate on your top titles of the year in the comments section as I’d love to hear!)
That said I can confess there has been 5 titles that have stood out amongst the rest in my eyes. So please relax, take a load off and allow me to share with you my top 5 3DS titles of 2014".
The Verge Writes: "Nintendo is giving its OLED Switch a Smash Bros.-themed paint job. The latest version of the console comes as part of a new bundle with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and includes gray Joy-Cons that feature the game’s logo."
Yeah, I like the black and gray best. I just don't care for most of the colored ones. They're a bit too flashy for me. Some of the themed ones are pretty cool though.
COGconnected's Jacob Greenwood interviews Super Smash Brother's player MKLeo, the best player in the world, about Genesis 8.
Super Smash Bros. series boss Masahiro Sakurai is unsure if the franchise can continue without him.
The latest issue of Famitsu, the Japanese gaming magazine, includes an interview with Sakurai discussing the future of the fighting series after Super Smash Bros. Ultimate received Sora as the final piece of DLC last month.
It's one attack button and one jump button. I think Nintendo can handle that without him.
I am pretty sure it's a hell of a lot more complex than that, but go ahead and shit on someone and something you have only the most basic level of understanding.
Yeah, everyone knows real combat games have 4 different jump buttons, thats what makes them hardcore
Its been a minute since ive seen you spewing your nonsense here.
So if its so easy to make an arena fighter with the same level of polish and depth as smash, why has no other dev been able to do it? There’s good reason these games are called “smash clones.”
Sakurai has literally devoted his life to this game and it shows. You just dont like this type of game and are what is commonly referred to as a “hater.”
To be fair, some fighting games make their combat systems way too complicated, just play soul calibur 2 and then compare it to the most recent one as an example when it comes to getting too complicated, simple to learn and harder to master is fine by me.
My boss also pretends she's responsible for the results of my work even though I only speak to her 10 times a year.
More Great Man Theory nonsense. I'm sure there is loads of talent capable of replacing this man that all work in that studio.
Yeah..just like every other fighting game series that started in the nineties and its creators are gone since ages from the companies. ...is he OKAY?
Guy has created a monster that is sure to outlive him. Smash is one of the largest IPs on the planet so nintendo will eventually have to find a new director. Hopefully the new guy prefers melee to brawl.
There will definitely be another one made. Imagine having the ego to dismiss all of your coworkers that helped build the game by saying that without your contributions the series can't continue...
I was thinking, surely SOMEONE, but Sakurai really is a unique guy. He really loves his games. He learned to play two characters at the same time. He has the mind of a really dedicated player and understands really well. Smash really would be different with anyone else.
I think Nintendos only option is to maybe build off of Ultimate and eventually port it forward to their new consoles. Adding and balancing a new character every year or so would keep us all happy while preserving Sakurai’s swan song.
Horrible picks. Should be Smash Bros, Bravely Default, Mario Golf World Tour, Persona Q, and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby
Well such picks are purely subjective anyway,
I do agree that Retro City Rampage and Zombie Panic in Wonderland stood out nowhere near as much as say Persona Q or Bravely Default but my choices would vary from yours as well since Mario Golf World Tour barely registered on the radar to me.
Smash Bros, Bravely Default, Persona Q, Fantasy Life and Shantae And The Pirate's Curse (personally think Pokemon is way overrated).
