It might help to link an article about this: Basically his doctor probably just doesn't want him on a plane. But other than that, it sounds like he's fine, and there's no real need to be concerned about his health. And he'll definitely still be presenting during the Digital Event/Nintendo...

Sonic if anyone picks him (which I doubt will happen), otherwise probably one of the newcomers. Though like everyone else, I'll probably root for players over characters.

I guess the idea is that because it focuses on who you're better than as opposed to just simply ranking you against all other players, it makes you view your skills in a more positive light? Like you think of it as "oh I'm better than this amount of people, that means I'm good!" instead of "oh...

Hm, from the title of the topic, I expected an argument much different than the one that was actually presented. I would not argue that appealing to competitive and casual players (and the entire spectrum of skill levels, really) is a bad decision or one that should be criticized; however, it...

After this, I had a hard time taking him seriously. He also went on to say that Sheik would be cut because "we're getting SS Zelda and not OoT Zelda" (ignoring the fact that we didn't even get SS Link and that Brawl had TP versions of the Zelda characters). Snake was considered problematic...

I absolutely want DLC for this game. I'm not sure why people continue to worry about bad DLC, since Nintendo has multiple games with DLC - none of which have been the abusive cash-grabs that other companies are notorious for. I understood the apprehension when they initially started doing it...

Each Smash game so far has topped the previous one in sales, so it seems a pretty safe bet that this one will sell 10 million+. However...Brawl's sale increase was far less impressive when you account for the fact that it was on a console with a much bigger install base than Melee. You have to...

Top: Villager. The top of the tier list in Brawl was pretty much dominated by newcomers for a while (still kinda is - 3 of the top 4 in the current one are new characters) and I kinda figure that will continue. All of the newcomers look pretty good thus far, but Villager stands out as one of...

This rumor is so hilariously stereotypical ("friend" who's a game dev, vague predictions that kinda-sorta make sense based on fan expectations/desires, a random extra bit of information being thrown in that make no sense being included with everything else, etc.) that it's incredibly easy to...

I'd rather secret characters just not be a thing anymore. As fun as it is to not know about some new characters beforehand, it's pretty much impossible to not spoil the roster before you get the game, especially with the Internet. The effort you have to go through in order to dodge spoilers...

If I were hypothetically in a financial situation where I felt comfortable dropping a hundred bucks on something like that, with the knowledge that it was absolutely going to be true, sure why not. It'd be kinda fun knowing ahead of time and also potentially "leaking" the information somewhere...

Nintendo: Ridley (not only because he's a great character choice but also it'd just be nice to silence the "too big" crowd). 3rd Party: Sonic overall; Mega Man was the only new 3rd party character I wanted.

Yikes...lots of misinterpretations of quotes and jumping to conclusions here. Then again, that always seems to happen when Sakurai says anything. His statements about the 3DS's limitations were incredibly vague, but I highly doubt that the actual size of the roster would present any...

I don't believe there was ever an explicit "there will be online again" statement, but Sakurai did say some stuff about how he was looking back at Brawl's online, analyzing the problems with it, and thinking about how it could be improved upon, so I'd say that effectively confirms that it will...

I actually believe this is a very interesting and potentially successful idea, but I think people here are looking at it from the wrong point of view. Most of the suggestions here seem to revolve around the idea of suggesting characters, or changing the game mechanics. The very obvious problem...
