Smash Cadet
I preface this by saying that I really really want SSB4 to be good. I want my old melee mechanics coupled with my old brawl features with some new stuff that makes me squeal like a 4 year old girl. I wanna a better single player where I don't fight ******** subspace whatevers, stronger custom content support and the option to have tourney legal and illegal options for every stage.
I believe I could get all of these things. But I'm doubtful I'll get a great roster and here's why.
Nintendo has had very very few new IP's in the last couple of years.
Xenoblade. That's really it.
Also, Nintendo seems to have very little interest in developing new franchises and seems to be more interested in re-popularizing old franchises. If you don't believe me, read Sakurai's comments on including more retro characters and NintendoLand.
Which brings me to my final point. Sakurai has already said that there will be the same or LESS characters in this iteration than before, meaning that he will be shaving off the tried and true for...
Balloon Fighter?
Pacman?
Shulk?
Who cares about these characters! I don't and neither should you!
I suggest that Smash Bros responds to the changing times and just makes it a game of mascots with complete disregard for the brand. Give us Banjo, Megaman, Ryu and Simon Belmont. We'd trade are non-existent nintendo loyalty for that group over Balloon Fighter any day of the week.
Thoughts and opinions?
