Breaking the Ice - Ice Climbers DLC Discussion Thread - Under New Ownership!

[FancySmash]

I want a reboot, I was thinking about trying to start some sort of movement to get a voice heard, but I don't know where to start or how to start, I was thinking maybe Reddit.

I mean if fans are vocal enough, I'm sure Nintendo would see, I mean it happened with Fire Emblem, Earthbound and Kid Icarus right?

Of course, it definitely is possible. I think the only obstacle the series has is getting someone to pick it up. I mean, if it weren't for Sakurai picking up Kid Icarus, the series probably would have stayed dead...

Earthbound didn't get a reboot. The first one just happened to be released a while back. The series is still dead.

Earthbound didn't get a reboot, but a vocal cry got it over to the west (minus the 3rd one, but don't look a gift horse in the mouth)

That is true.

If you can, go play a translated room of Mother 3. It's a great game.

Ah I didn't need to, can read Japanese so I played the original.

I can't (sadly).

EarthBound isn't dead. It's far from dead. It's got a strong fan base, whether you like it or not, or care about it or not. It may be smaller than others, but each one of us is made of steel.

Onto more oppressing matters...

It is the LAST DAY to cast your vote in the Ballot. Get your ICies votes in now!!! With just a bit more, we can conquer this mountain!

I meant as in "the series is discontinued". It's fanbase is still strong to this day, that's undeniable. But the creator of the series stated that there will not be a Mother 4. It's kind of live Earthworm Jim. It's a series than has been officially ended, but is still popular even today (Though, to the extent of Mother).

In other news, October 3rd arrives in less than 2 hours where I live. I am so hyped right now.

 

[Yoshister]

Felt like posting this here, so.....here you go:

The wait for being confirmed is quite length, you know. Looks like the Icies are passing the time.
I hope the Ice Climbers are DLC, even if I don't think they will be.

 

[ROBnWatch]

OK, I thought the Ballot ended today, as in we couldn't cast anymore votes. Guess I was wrong. Today is the last day, so everyone get your votes in!!!

Heheh, I had a feeling today was going to be the last day. Fingers crossed and hopes high as always. Either way idc what happens, Sakurai is da boss. Smash community is cool. Falco is wrecking me after the patch. Is all good mang. Also the three character slots is pretty hype. I hope we're getting more pre-planned DLC. It'd be one of the many cases I'd be ecstatic that Sakurai changed his mind. (or lied, heheh)

 

[Marigi174]

As good as it is to get more IC votes in, I feel a little disappointed at having to wait an extra day for closure tbh. I want to find out if our efforts were enough sooner rather than later :/

 

[lightdasher]

They will always be my ice babies no matter what happens.

 

[ROBnWatch]

I've submitted my final vote for the ICies. Lotta writing in that one 500 character limit box throughout the last 6 months. It's hard to come up with different things to say that many times without repeating yourself over and over. Maybe I'll throw in some random vote for a newcomer I want before the end of the day. But I of course want ICies over anything. Hopefully we'll know by tomorrow whether or efforts were all worth it. And hopefully, they were.

 

[TheBeardedPunisher]

So it's October 4th and the Fighter Ballot page is still up, albeit the first few hours of the "day." I just need to see some kind of change to at least assure me that something has changed. Still hoping for some reassuring yet spoiler free information.

 

[Flor@]

Watch the site simply change to "Thanks for voting! Voting has now been closed." lel

 

[ROBnWatch]

8:04 am EST time, Ballot is still up.


I'll bet they forgot about it and didn't take it down yet. Lol.

 

[Marigi174]

I mean, they have no use for the sub-domain anymore. They probably just stopped checking it after the ballot closed, or they disconnected their vote-processing system

 

[ROBnWatch]

Ya, it's still up even now. They probably just didn't bother removing it or something, and all votes from here on out aren't going to count towards anything.

 

[Flor@]

It's down :3

 

[AnonymousMoon]

like it never happened.

 

[swordofacorn]

like it never happened.

Maybe it didn't happen, and we just dreamt the last 6 months. If you go to smash u and there's no dlc characters...

 

[Eight_SixtyFour]

Come on IC news. If these guys, Wolf, and Ylink are in, I will be happy. After that, they can add whoever else they want.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

They can add Goku and Shrek for all I care. Just as long as the Ice Climbers come along with them.

Okay, I may actually kind of want Shrek...

 

[Furret24]

At this point, I honestly wouldn't mind Shrek getting in.

 

[FunAtParties]

Ar..are you guys kidding?

 

[lightdasher]

Ar..are you guys kidding?

I sure do hope so

 

[ROBnWatch]

ICies get in first, and Wolf as well (since I believe he should've been brought back in the first place), then add whoever the heck you want, as long as the character fits in Smash (meaning no Shreks or Gokus or stupid as heck characters).

 

[Furret24]

Ar..are you guys kidding?

I'm being completely serious.

Either i'm really starved of new content or want to troll on FG with him. I dunno.

I'm sorry.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

I'm serious about Shrek. I don't find him a necessity, but at this point, I'd rather have him than another Fire Emblem or Mario character.

But back to Ice Climbers discussion. Anyone else hope they show up in some other games besides Smash? I'd love to their parkas and snow shoes as DLC gear in Splatoon around Christmastime, or see them as Mario Kart DLC sometime down the road.

 

[FunAtParties]

To each their own I guess.... I feel like Shrek is taking it too far.

SHOCK AND TERROR!!!!!

I'd rather have him over the Ice Climbers. <- The ultimate insult (Not really true though)
I'm even with the two.

*comes back and looks at post about Shrek in Sm4sh*

How cool would it be for the next Mario Kart DLC to bring back Double Dash with a Double Dash mode, and Nana and Popo to be the characters to signify it's return? I think that'd be really hype.

No thanks. I'm not a fan of the Double Dash mechanic. It's one of the primary reasons as to why it's one of my least favorite MK games.

I would however like to see them in a kart racing game from Nintendo, along with other Nintendo characters.

It'd just be an extra mode for DLC, dude. Why do you gotta **** on all my dreams?

OR Nana & Popo could be the Double Dash drivers by themselves with the unique ability to hold two weapons! lol nah, your idea is better.

Furret24 get out. lol jk but what did you think of the stages compared to other games?

Either would do really. I just love me some Double Dash.

I liked them. The tracks were a big highlight for me. Especially the Yoshi track with the Super secret shortcut.

I just don't care for the Double Dash mechanic.

It's also the only Mario Kart game that I never fully completed. I guess I just sucks at the game. Which is a shame, since King Boo is my favorite MK character to play as. :/

PS: DS and 8 are my favorites.
