Being playable would still be better than an impotent glorified parade float like he is now

As I look back on it now, there really are a lot of bad stages. Palutena's Temple: Basically New Pork City part 2. Game Camp Offensive: Is that my character? Or is there just a bug crawling on the TV? Wily's Castle: The Yellow Devil sexually harassing me at all times makes this not so fun...

There is a person on GameFAQs claiming they got the error code and had downloaded the update. Take that as you will.

I very much doubt this... people are still getting errors and if this prevented future issues, Nintendo would be screaming it from rooftops.

I'm okay with it. I think Sakurai's taken it as far as he can, to be honest. It really seems like he's run out of ideas, based on how half-baked and just plain underwhelming some of the modes are in this one compared to the past. And unfortunately I think his negative tendencies just become...

Palutena's Temple and the Great Crap Offensive I disagree that 8 player Smash is the worst thing to have happened to the series (tripping? Smash Tour? Angry Birds thing?) but the 8 player mode is definitely terrible when they cram it into Classic Mode like they do. The sweet spot is 6...

Well this is poop. Gonna let the Wii U take a breather until Nintendo sorts this out. Between sending my Wii U in for repairs (warranty is out, so paying for your broken mess will be on my tab, Nintendo) and losing all the trophies and junk I accumulated, I'd rather just wait it out...

To be fair, his appearance is interchangeable with any generic Final Fantasy anime-styled character

It's not boring for me yet. But I can see potential fatigue setting in. I haven't gotten deep into online yet, so that could keep me around. But the jump from 64 to Melee was huge. The jump from Melee to Brawl was huge. The jump from Brawl to this was... not so huge. I've been playing...

Yeah, this is unforgivable. The forced 8 player matches in Classic mode wouldn't be so terrible if the CPU actually made a genuine attempt to fight each other and not just dance around, faux-battling until they can move to completely molest me.

I agree with a lot of your post, but this one specifically gets me. All the Assist Trophys, the Pokemon, the stages, the music... even the sound effect when you press start at the Main Menu is straight from Brawl. A minor complaint in itself, but it really feels like HD Brawl to me...

I'm particularly annoyed about all the challenges that force you through this miserable exercise in order to unlock a trophy or something.

This game is an improvement upon Brawl but still disappointing. It looks beautiful. There are new characters and new stages. 8-Player Smash adds a whole new dimension to the game. New Events and an improved online mode. Let me first say that I am a casual player. I don't care about...

After playing Smash Tour... Boy, I sure feel I was on point with this one. This monstrosity is the worst mode in a Smash game thus far.

The problem here is Sakurai's hypocrisy. It's not the audience who is demanding complete accuracy. Obviously, Ganondorf and few other points annoy some fans, but fans are generally willing to accept some creative liberties. But don't feed us this tripe about how important is to maintain...
