I never bought the Wii U version (because the 3DS version being on a handheld made it more accessible to me), so I never got to play on the Woolly World stage, so I wouldn't be opposed to it being brought back.
Pac-Maze, Woolly World, and Rainbow Road for sure.
I really want Jungle Hijinxs. Basically for no reason other than using K. Rool on a DKCR stage would feel so good.
I have never understood why the mechanic of Pac-Maze HAS to be included in Ultimate. I think it would be pretty simple to ditch the pellet mechanic and just let us have an actual GOOD Pac-Man stage. Of all the Stages to be missing, that one hurt the most because it's the most iconic Pac-Man related thing ever. The Pac-Land stage is atrocious and such a poor representation of Pac-Man.
I think the going theory on Wooly World was that the physics based platforms didn't play well with 8 players. It's the only stage like that in the series where physics play such a vital role in the stage, and if it was struggling to perform, I can see why they would have dropped it in a game with so many other Yoshi stages. Sure, Fountain of Dreams has the same issues with 8 Ice Climbers, but given how constantly requested that stage was to return, I don't think they could have gotten away with leaving it out in a game that brought back so many others. I mean, it was THE stage a lot of fans seemed to ask for.
As a fellow King K. Rool user I was gonna say the same thing, As much as I love the previous ones from 64 and Melee that are based off of Rare's work on the original Donkey Kong Country series, It was a breath of fresh air to see DK get a new stage from Retro's modern Country series it's also a shame we didn't get stage of from Tropical Freeze.
At least I got Peach Castle 64 and Dream Land Game Boy back, anything else would have been gravy at this point anyway.
The issue isn't the profitability of multiple seasons of DLC. That's a generally known fact. The issue is that when Sakurai says he's done, that's that. Nintendo has basically confirmed with their constant requests of Sakurai that he's the only one to lead the franchise. He's the only one that they really trust to handle Smash. He doesn't have any chosen successor as far as we know either. With Sakurai being alive, healthy, and well respected, the franchise is extremely unlikely to move on without him, especially in a DLC cycle of the game he already created. The respect Sakurai has earned means that Nintendo is incredibly likely to respect his wishes with regards to the game.
I mean, of course I would like to see them all back. The more the better. But the only ones I really want back are Rainbow Road and Mute City. Those are the only stages I would consider a great loss.
Oh, I think Sakurai loves the autonomy that Nintendo gives him with projects. Since he doesn't specifically work for Nintendo, he gets to enjoy his freedom while basically having Nintendo bankroll any project he wants to work on.
100% agreed. It's not like they would let Smash die without DLC like they did with Mario Kart 8 deluxe. That would be just Nintendo being stupid business-wise, it's not like they are anywhere close running out of very good dlc choices they can still bring in.
As far as I can see, the decisive point is when the pass' final character gets revealed by February, then we'll know what direction he will take from there. Until then, it's nothing but conjecture.
Well, yeah, of course. I'm just theorizing based upon the factors I'm seeing surrounding Smash and Sakurai as to how things might work out that doesn't result in more DLC. I just don't think anyone can be 100% confident in more DLC so soon. Nor do I think anyone should be convinced absolutely that there won't be more. It's absolutely way too early to tell when we don't even have the slightest idea who our next character will be in the Fighter's Pass after Joker, and still don't even know how Joker plays for that matter.
crosses fingers for another Kid Icarus game
Probably a relatively quick game, in all likelihood. Given the slots found in WOL's files, they do at least seem to have some sort of future-proofing in place, in case Sakurai somehow isn't done with Ultimate yet.
Still 14 years left to go, so I wouldn't count on it.
Ooooo, you're right, that would be really cool to finally play with Banjo & Kazooie on the N64/Melee stages alongside the N64 vets, especially since they would've still been with Nintendo around that point before the buyout. And yeah, I can agree with you on most of your choices for returning stages, but Pac-Maze represents Pac-Man FAR better than Pac-Land. That level tends to be pretty insufferable to play through. But yeah, really want Poke Floats, Mute City 64, and Rainbow Road back to play on, especially if they're all graphically updated, which I'm sure they would be!
Wasn't that the leak that said banjo's a costume, and everyone will be revealed at e3?
It amazes me how many people held on to that post as absolute fact.
i doubt your source, everyone knows smash players don't shower
I know, right? Apparently, text is enough for people to assume you have authority on things.
Phooey, I shower myself from time to time.
Thats why you need to post credentials to make your self credible.I know, right? Apparently, text is enough for people to assume you have authority on things.
Their the one potential newcomer that really has a lot of evidence, demand and momentum going for them right now and all the jiggy's seem to be falling in place.
Well, he actually could. NDAs usually prevent people from just speaking on their involvement on a project so saying MC isn't in, is not the same as saying that he is contributing something to Smash. And technically if MC was a skin it wouldn't even be accurate to say he's not in so Nintendo would really have a hard time saying 343 disclosed secret information. I highly doubt through the logic of possible NDAs we will be able to say who is and is not in Smash.
Welcome to internet discussion on NDAs. Where everything breaks them but not really.
That's all incredibly comforting and it really is incredible to see the jigsaw pieces falling into place for them so neatly, but until Sakurai, Nintendo, and Microsoft officially unveil their Smash newcomer trailer, I'm gonna continue holding my breath in anticipation, keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping for the best while remaining objectively skeptical. I really hope this time we aren't left in disappointment!
Thank you for sharing this! The one thing that makes me think the Spirits are not good replacements for Trophies was their lack of a description for each one that talked about the character/object in question; this makes things better!
I just don’t see how Trophies are worth the time investment at this point to be honest. They’re a fun collectible and I do miss some of the information stuff, but there’s also the Internet with even deeper amounts of information available on those characters and I’d personally prioritize adding well... anything else to Ultimate. They had a LOT more importance back in Melee and Brawl I think, but by 4 I was already starting to lose interest.
Brinstar Depths, Fountain of Dreams, Mushroom Kingdom 64, and Subcon returning made me completely satisfied with the stage selection in this game and made up for the lack of new stages in my opinion.
Its not so bad. Now you can claim to live rent free in their heads. If anything, them screencapping you destroyed their argument that only old 30 year olds know who Banjo-kazooie is. Turns out I got a time share in some nimrods skull for zilch! This happened at work, where I cannot post to 4Chan due to phone IP restrictions. Yet this numbskull assumed this post was me. Funny how we share screencaps of 4chan idiocy under anonymity and censored usernames, yet these trolls are willing to do the same without at least blocking out our usernames. They now want to claim we do the same? Need I remind you all that their discord thread raiding group was first screen capped by a 3rd party, not affiliated with our group.
While it's true we have all the information thanks to the internet, the Spirits fail to make me interested in the character and not enough for me to care to look them up. I think they should have at least given descriptions for each Spirit. Trophies were more convenient in that respect.
It's hard to know what we're even supposed to be looking at. Why's there a random Ganondorf next to Ganondorf?
There are three blank spots at the bottom, supposedly the nickname for the dlc characters. Apparently the blue ganondorf is mewtwo, and the mewtwo at the bottom is a dlc character.
