Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios was overjoyed to win at Apex 2015, but calls for a more cohesive community spirit in future tournaments.
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
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.
I've always said that Nintendo is either innovative and ahead of the curve
or 20 years behind, no in between
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
They already created a better smash brothers game than ultimate when they created melee
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
Please port Xenoblade Chronicles X, I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet since everything else pretty much got ported to the Switch.
Nintendo's little purple square didn't get the acclaim at the time, but the best GameCube games show what a powerhouse it really was.
Oh man... FZero. That is actually the only game I ever got sick off of. And Im not talking motion sick but full on seizure induced sick. It was so damn fast that my eyes just couldnt keep up and I found myself waking up in the hospital. Havent even tried to play it since, nearly 20 years ago. I can play wipeout, fast racing RMX, burnout... lots of other really fast racing games no problem. FZero really F'd me up that day.
Other cube games I never get tired of playing are mario kart dd, metroid prime, rogue leader and ikaruga
Man, we need a Viewtiful Joe and Viewtiful Joe 2 remake, along with F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime 1,2,3, can't forget Eternal Darkness, damn that game was amazing, Baten Kaitos as well. Noticed I said remake not remaster, I would love them to be remade in a whole new engine brought up to at least 2022 standards.😊 Remade on Switch and ones that are 3rd party can go multi-platform.
Honestly that console was up there in my top 3. So many good innovative games. Eternal Darkness was brilliant with the way it messed with you….aka your controller is disconnected… lol. Metroid, Zelda, Viewtiful Joe, and so many others. I miss playing them. Been thinking of buying a GameCube and jumping back into the nostalgia.
I feel nothing but sympathy for this guy.
As someone who has loved every Smash game for what it was, even if I can't fully understand the depth of his disappointment from that one moment on stage, the general feelings of disgust over all of this bashing going on within the community, between Melee supporters and non-Melee supporters, is something that has also affected me to a much greater degree than I wish it did.
I dunno if I'll ever get there, but I'd eventually love to be known, myself, as one of the better Link players in the scene.
I can only imagine how bad it would feel if, the moment I got up there and accepted a trophy for putting on my best show for others, the most noticeable thing to come back to me from out of the crowd was a bunch of people saying "Yay it's finally over! Get to *insert Smash version here* already!"
I know that being aggressive towards others is just one of the by-products of a competitive gaming scene, but it should never get to the point where those that play feel ashamed of their own community.
There can be aggressiveness while still being accepting of things from another person's view, even if you don't agree with it.
The bashing needs to stop. We can be competitive without being d***-wads.
And there isn't a single version of Smash that cannot be fun in its own way.
I am not saying all melee players are mean, but the melee community is one of the worst fanbases I have ever seen. The unnecessary hate for everything not melee is infamous that there is a forming of a group of people against melee and its players. Many melee fanboys are selfish, rude and ignorant. Big smash players talk about growing the community, but how can I support a community run by grown men who act like 3 year olds.
A lot of them I would not even call Nintendo fans because that would be a disgrace to Nintendo and its fans. I wait for the day the community can get its head out of its anus.
This article gave me much more respect for ZeRo. Claps to you ZeRo. Maybe your voice can be loud enough to get the community in a much better position then a daycare.
