Augh I wish he'd get a projectile. The Coconut Gun from DK64 would be perfect.

Ehh, I'm not a fan of DLC. Sakurai is known to be a perfectionist and he's probably focusing on presenting a complete and well-rounded package for the game itself. Characters aren't just characters in Smash; they come with stages, items, Assist Trophies, music, regular trophies, etc., and those...

It's tricky. On one hand the surprising curveball character (Game & Watch and R.O.B.) has always previously been a "hardware" representative (the Game & Watch handheld and the R.O.B. toy, respectively), and WiiFit Trainer as a representative of the Wii Balance Board fits this trend. On the...

I loved R.O.B. personally. I think Smash could use more cute and funny characters. It's not a serious or gritty series, in my eyes.

I keep seeing people worry that Sonic and Snake won't return and I don't see why. Their inclusion in Brawl was immensely successful. Nintendo has a working partnership with SEGA. Kojima himself begged Nintendo to put Snake in Brawl and I don't see why he would be opposed now. It's true that the...

Sakurai seems like a such a wonderful person. I'd play Kirby games with him. And maybe politely suggest Lip for Smash 4.

The alleged reasons for that are manifold. It's possible that Sakurai doesn't consider quasi-clones to be a problem. In the case of the StarFox trio it's understandable to a degree, but with every new iteration it gets more and more ridiculous for Ganondorf to be a Captain Falcon clone...

I would rather have them go back and rework quasi-clones like Ganondorf, Toon Link and Falco, who have potential for unique movesets full of personality, than bring them back as they were. At this point I am more interested in a game with balance, polish and care than a game with as many...

The concept of bosses has so much potential for the Smash series. It can give ignored series a spotlight and bring in characters who wouldn't gel as playable fighters. I'd love see a fight against King Hippo in close quarters, a scrolling battle on King K. Rool's ship, a Mega Man 2-inspired...

I honestly think Brawl is as dark as Smash will ever get, both in terms of looks and tone, what with the hyperrealistic character textures, desaturation, and sacrificial R.O.Bs.

I'm glad. The Subspace Emissary was a cute concept but such a slog. I'd much prefer a short and lithe Adventure Mode like what we saw in Melee, but hopefully with a bit more creativity. The only two aspects I enjoyed of The Subspace Emissary were the humorous cutscenes and the boss battles, and...

No daily verbose updates straight from the wonderful and ineffable mind of Masahiro Sakurai? I am sincerely crushed.

Doesn't his head look too big for his body, even considering it's Ness?

I don't think there's anyone from the Zelda series who truly needs to be added to Smash. All villains aside from Ganondorf have appeared in one game (with Vaati being an exception) and are unlikely to appear as anything more than an Assist Trophy. What the series really needs is for Ganondorf...

Bowser looks amazing this time around. He has more of the curmudgeony brute personality that shines through in the Mario RPGs, whereas in Brawl he looked like some kind of hunched, feral beast. Link's design is somewhat disappointing to me. I like the overall brighter look of this game, but...
