Nintendo never did that for Super Smash Bros

Pookandpie2461d ago

Nintendo finally seems to be embracing the Internet age.

They've been releasing patch notes for Splatoon 2. How I wished that they did that for Smash Bros before I stayed up all night helping people on Smashboards test things, lol.

I wish Nintendo was more supportive of Super Smash Bros' competitive scene

Honestly, if they keep adding more and more characters and stages to Smash Bros each game is going to take longer and longer to develop and they're going to be less and less balanced.

That's why I've been in favor of them making a "deluxe edition" of Smash 4 on Switch with all the DLC, Ice climbers, Snake (if they can), Wolf, Pichu, Ivysaur, Squirtle, and a selection of stages from previous games. It'd easily be the most definitive edition of Smash yet in terms of content and the roster would be huge.

Then, after that, they should make a smaller game with a roster and work with the competitive scene to make it focused more on "hardcore" and tournament play. The smaller roster would be much easier to balance. Items could also be a heck of a lot more fair. Stages could be unique and very few could have significant hazards. The game could be faster paced like Melee was. With both the games on Switch all fans of the series could be satisfied.

As it is, if they make a Smash 5 with even more characters than 4, it's going to take a while and the balance will likely be even worse. A Smash 6 with even more content would just be insane. You'd be looking at 75 characters or so, which would be absolute horror to try and balance.

Nintendo Select: 5 Switch Games That Deserve A Second Chance

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "The Nintendo Switch has been one Nintendo’s most successful systems ever, both measured by the number of units sold and the quality of its titles, but if there’s one thing this generation has been missing it would have to be the Nintendo Selects line, bringing existing titles that had paid their dues back at bargain prices. With the Switch now entering its twilight years, and there being few new titles in store for the foreseeable future, what better time could there be to bring back this tried-and-true tradition? While the actual realization of it may be doubtful given how rigid both hardware and software prices have become in recent years, that only gives us all the more reason to dream up a hypothetical lineup of our own.

For this article the specific focus will not be on those massive multi-million evergreens that the lineup would no doubt contain a few of to cement its value, but instead on games that for one reason or another fell short of their full potential the first time around and deserve a second chance to reach more players at an affordable price. Let’s get started."

I really want Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, can't believe that hasen't been ported. I'm playing Skyward Sword at the moment and I'm almost finished, but it's so long and the controls are so bad, even without motion. Astral Chain is fantastic though, they should make a sequel.

A bunch of Nintendo Switch games just got the same patch, but no one’s quite sure why

ARMS has received its first update in five years, but we'd prefer if it got a sequel

I got the same for Splatoon 2. Nintendo's release notes should be more detailed. Interesting.
