  • What was so important about the Big House tournament anyway?
    Wigglerman
    Wigglerman
    It's a regular event and probably the biggest event being held this year. But it isn't inherently about Big House itself. It's the fact that Nintendo is arbitrarily stepping in to stop a big event during a trying time for people. To halt this event during Covid just feels like a totally out of touch and **** move. Nintendo flexing when it really has no reason to. Nintendo being Nintendo at their worst.

    Essentially cowardice and being awful just because they have the right to.

    Just like how they tried to cancel the EVO Melee tournament whose money and donations would be going towards breast cancer research and now they're cancelling a tournament where people are trying to hold onto their sanity and trying to have a good time together in a trying time.

    Nintendo having 0 empathy, so to speak.

    This and the comments explains everything about it

    Surely Nintendo has an upcoming game after AoC that's planned for December, right?

    Probably gonna have to wait until 3D World port, TBH. I imagine Nintendo's sitting out December outside of the slight chance something happens at TGA, and I'm kinda doubtful personally.

    …Really? After they canned the Big House earlier today, that’s what you’re worried about?

    To answer your question, no. Any further games they have planned (as far as we know) are set for 2021, the Super Mario 3D World port being one of them.

    Just because they haven't announced a game for December yet doesn't mean they won't.
    When N64 Online gets added to Switch Online, Diddy Kong Racing needs to be included in it. If Microsoft is OK with Banjo in Smash, they could also be OK with and old game being on Switch where Banjo and Conker are both side characters in the game.
    Vol. 2 is ranking in the cash because of Steve so maybe, just maybe Nintendo will change their minds and make a Vol. 3. Ultimate could have as much DLC as possible without making Ultimate suffer from DLC overload.

    Sakurai always tells us he's fine though and he gets rest when needed.
    DrCoeloCephalo
    DrCoeloCephalo
    Pretty sure Sakurai has said in interviews he's overworked because it's his own fault from always scheduling himself for way too many work hours, not letting the other staff actually do their jobs and then doing it all himself like a possessive control freak.

    Him not getting any proper rest is absolutely no one's fault but his own and certainly not the fault of Smash fans paying him to the high heavens for the work of numerous game designers BESIDES Sakurai whom just as easily "deserve a break".

    I, for one, am not going to settle for less content just because of one person's foolishness.

    If people want him to rest so badly, then he can retire. The series would probably be just as good if not better off without him like Kirby is.

    Pretty sure that Sak is used to working by now, to the point that he makes sure to be careful with his exercise and dieting regiments. He'll stop when he wants to. And I don't want a second plague to happen because of fate being tempted.
    3 years ago the first and only trailer for Bayonetta 3 came out and since then, Platinum and SEGA have told us nothing else about the game. Sure the Nintendo employee from the Feburary 2019 Nintendo Direct said the development on it is going well but no gameplay of it was shown. Maybe development isn't going well. Remember in 2015 why Miyamoto said Pikmin 4 was near completion?

    small wonder why Valve's Gaben goes out of his way to avoid saying the number "that's more than 2, but less than 4" in any way, shape, or form...
    The only great thing about The Emoji Movie is its soundtrack. I give the movie a 3 out of 10 other than that.

    I'm going to take a guess to why assist trophies can't become DLC newcomers. Here's my guess: it could be because the character is already in the game. If Alucard was to be in Vol. 2, his reveal wouldn't be very special since he's already in the game and people would complain about buying a character who's already in the game.
    DrCoeloCephalo
    DrCoeloCephalo
    Little Mac and Isabelle were Assist Trophies. No rule or law saying they can't do the same thing within one game when people clearly want that character.

    Other games like Yo-Kai Watch has done stuff similar to that, tho granted its DLC is usually free and it's no stranger to crossovers either.

    They're not just buying a character that was already there. They're buying a character that was there but not PLAYABLE.
    Inkling Man
    Inkling Man
    But Isabelle and Little Mac didn't become playable in the same game they were assist trophies in. Alucard will have to wait until Smash 6 for another chance to become playable.

    I'm not sure if you read the thing DrCoeloCephalo DrCoeloCephalo posted right above you. He said there's no law it can't happen, even if it hasn't happened yet.
    Say Sora did join Vol. 2. If he had the Mickey Mouse chain on his Keyblade, people would think non video game characters are eligible and more people would campaign for them. They could replace the Mickey chain with a Smash symbol chain.
    I wish the Ganondorf from Twilight Princess was in Mortal Kombat 11. His design and fighting ability blend great with MK's overall narrative. Plus he could have green blood like in OOT. Nintendo wouldn't want him to have red blood anyway.
    The Spring Man Smash Tag icon used to have a dark grey background. It now has a light green background, why is that?
    Janx_uwu

    This is why Sakurai never tells us what games he's playing.
    The reason Banjo isn't a base game character might be because Ultimate's roster was decided back in 2015 and during that time, Nintendo still wasn't completely open to the idea of having a rival company's character in Smash.

    I'm... skeptical about that since Minecraft was released on Wii U at the end of that year. Also, didn't it enter development in 2016 though?
    Inkling Man
    Inkling Man
    Yes but Minecraft Wii U Edition is what helped LEAD to Banjo being in Smash.
    If you like Persona 5, you'll probably like FE Three Houses too. Both games are JRPGs that are about anime humanoids and they both have silent protagonists and you can choose what they say. Both games even have in game calanders.
    The Wii and Wii U both had N64 games so hopefully N64 Online will get added to Switch Online. Or are N64 games still too valuable to be played for free like NES and SNES games?
    Janx_uwu
    Janx_uwu
    You aren't playing the NES and SNES games for free, it's $20 a year. I think it's pretty safe to say we'll get N64 NSO at some point next year.
    What if Nintendo bought Microsoft? With their combined strength, they could dominate Sony and bring order to the gaming industry.
    cashregister9
    cashregister9
    That would Monopolize the gaming industry removing choice, and increasing costs just to make the rich richer.
    Venus of the Desert Bloom
    Venus of the Desert Bloom
    .... that’s stupid.

    Microsoft is far more than just a gaming company and Nintendo doesn’t have any interest (from what we can see) in branching out into other industries. And like, cashregister9 said, it would remove freedom to purchase the console/company of your choice. A mutual partnership and cross platform play between the two consoles would be far better for the industry and the two companies instead of a buy-out.

    I highly doubt Nintendo can actually buy out a company like Microsoft. Microsoft constantly ranks in the top 5 in the world, Nintendo, according to a Forbes 2020 report, sits at #87 but, even taking into account that it’s currently Japan’s richest company, it’s still a peddle in a very big pond. It wouldn’t make any sense for Nintendo to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to acquire Microsoft just for the XBox (which Microsoft wouldn’t part with unless the whole package was included) in order to dominate Sony.

    Even if Nintendo could do it, the XBox is extremely unpopular in Japan (you know, Nintendo’s main market) and the PlayStation is starting to go by the wayside thanks to the Switch and Mobile. I know your post is in all good fun and not a serious discussion topic but, still, what you said was worthy of a facepalm.
    Should movie and TV show characters be allowed in Smash 6? Imagine a game where Mario, Darth Vader, Kermit the Frog and Peter Griffin can fight.

    I don't think so and if they are, they should be held up to far more scrutiny than video game characters.
    Dlala Studios should develop the new Banjo game like they developed Battletoads 2020. Whether you like Battletoads 2020 or not, Metacritic gives it 73% which is pretty good.

    Well the game now has more than 1 million players. That must mean the game has sold more than 1 million copies already.
    Is Banjo still the face of Rare?

    Probably now he is (with Kazooie), but I don't think he was the face to start with when Rare was behind stuff like Conker, Goldeneye and Donkey Kong Country.
    Shroob
    Shroob
    I mean... I don't think they'd be legally allowed to have Goldeneye or Donkey Kong as their "Mascot", and that leaves Conker, a character who only had a game on the GB and his actual N64 game was delayed to hell and came out at the butt end of the N64's life. Banjo is 100% their mascot, and pretty much claimed that spot no contest as soon as he came out.

    yet it's ok for trump to be buddy buddy with North Korea, And russia? just an FYI, Russia is quite literally still our ENEMY, in case you didn't know. As is North Korea. Two countries with actual dictators as leaders, but it's all fine and dandy for Trump to cozy up to them?

    Vol. 1 had 90 music tracks. Vol. 2 should have more than 90.
    Megadoomer
    Megadoomer
    I don't know how likely that is, considering that more than half of the music tracks in Vol. 1 were the result of SNK responding to "which of these music tracks can we use?" with "all of them."

    Unless there's a similar situation with Koei Tecmo or Arc System Works or some other new company, it will be tough to repeat that.

    The Banjo amiibo will have a giant Jiggy on it even though he doesn't use a giant Jiggy in battle. Nintendo cares about him enough to give his amiibo special treatment so could this mean Rare Replay is coming to Switch? Also Joker has blue aura around him when he summons Arsene in battle which is why his amiibo has blue aura on it.

    "The Ice Climber amiibo has a chunk of ice on it does that mean we are getting a new Ice Climber game?"

    They have been giving amiibo better stands lately instead of just clear sticks or stands if it is thematically appropriate

    Yes because Rare Replay coming to Switch would definitely be Nintendo’s decision
    ARMS 2 needs a lot more depth and complexity than ARMS 1 had. This will help it hold its momentum and people will be more likely to talk about it. Some fans like the simplicity though which is why there should be a mode where the gameplay is simplistic.

    As a huge ARMS fan, I'd like to see how more complex gameplay would be for a sequel. Heck maybe the player can use the Arms in unique ways that could help them win.
    Retro Studios really needs to finish making Metroid Prime 4. People have waited too long already and they're starting to think the game is silently cancelled.

    Well, do you want a game that's rushed for the sake of being rushed, or a good game that takes its time? Take your pick. Believe me, you want the latter despite how grueling the wait may be.
    Champion of Hyrule
    Champion of Hyrule
    You would maybe have a reasonable point here if it weren’t for the fact that Retro has already said they had a huge overhaul on the development of the game.

    At this point, it’s definitely a case of fans being impatient, and have no idea how long development time actually takes
    Spring Man was my requested ARMS rep but Min Min is also good. In fact her joining is a better deal because Spring Man is going to be a Smash 6 newcomer anyway since he's the star and Min Min will also return in Smash 6 so we would have two ARMS reps in Smash 6. Also if Min Min didn't join through Vol. 2, she probably never would have joined the Smash series ever.
    Champion of Hyrule
    Champion of Hyrule
    Did you think Sakurai was joking when he said the developers of Arms would prefer Min Min in the game?
    I’d said it before, I’ll say it again, there is not supposed to be one protagonist of Arms
    Inkling Man
    Inkling Man
    And Isabelle isn't the star of Animal Crossing but she was added because she was very recognizable. Spring Man is also very recognizable so he just could join the next Smash.
    Wigglerman
    Wigglerman
    Again, he'd be an easy addition but I really don't see him being the character that someone would buy the game for. Especially since Min Min has basically 'stolen' the excitement of an ARMs rep. I wouldn't mind more reps from the series if they can make a second rep stand out compared to Min Min.
    I hope Age of Calamity has characters from other Zelda games too just like the original. Link's Awakening DX Link could be a new character.
    Wigglerman
    Wigglerman
    As much as I would love that, I wonder what the odds really are for more criss crossing like the first Hyrule Warriors. The first one had a unique story that didn't really care about the 'clash' of having all the crossover characters from the various Zelda titles. However with this one being, from what we have been told, effectively a canon story to the BotW. So tonally, it'd be awkward for the other characters to crop up in the main story mode.

    However if they're still playable in 'free mode' then that works too and I'd welcome them. I'm in the camp, though, that the campaign mode should only allow the BotW characters.
    I feel bad for Chrom supporters from the Smash 4 era. Chrom had every right to join but he got snubbed and humiliated in the Robin trailer and by Viridi. We could have had him, Robin and Lucina in Smash 4. That would have angered a few Smash fans but most fans didn't mind the amount of FE content in Smash 4.

    People only started complaining after Roy and Corrin showed up as DLC. Roy because even though people did want him back, having him AND Lucina in the same game meant two characters whose movesets were clearly based on Marth, plus Roy kinda fell into obscurity between his removal from Brawl onwards.

    Corrin was REALLY the straw that broke the cammel's back. He was added to promote FE Fates ("Shill" character concepts were EXTREMELY hated during those days, and still have quite a lot of detractors now) which didn't even came outside of Japan during Corrin's reveal, was ANOTHER FE character right after Roy got as DLC (which is made worse since Corrin is the only Nintendo newcomer as DLC in Smash 4) and Fates itself beign regarded as a very controversial game. The direction it took with the character designs, the "buy 2 games to get the whole story" deal, the localization, dear god the localization, and so on and so forth. It was that specific moment where a lot of people just had enough.

    Viridri must die btw.

    They're both the exact same candidate with different superficial aesthetics. They're both geriatrics hopped up on Adderal that adopt the talking points of their respective parties of which their past history shows they don't care the slightest about. Biden is one of the main architects of modern systemic racism and has been part of some of the worst administrations in recent times in that regard. He's no more a friend of the brown people than Trump.

    Trump is clearly way in over his head and he only ran to further his narcissism and self-promotion. He clearly does not care for the job at all and is just listening to what his party tells him. To try to pretend he's in any way shape or form able to govern is to completely ignore what a mess he and his entire life has been. He's only managed to maintain his legacy by swindling and exploitation, so he's no more a hero of the working class than Biden is of minorities.

    They will both govern the exact same way as proven by Trump's last four years being inline with standard fare and the only difference will be in superficial rhetoric and mannerisms. If you honestly think Trump will be more hostile to China or Biden will handle Covid better then you haven't been paying any attention.
