Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Nekoo]

I'm sorry if this comes off as rude
but to expand your knowledge a bit.
Joker prior to being in Smash has appeared in Persona 5, Persona 5 Dancing and Persona 3 Dancing and Persona Q2 (Japan)
After he got in Smash he appeared in Persona 5 Royal (if you wanna count that), Persona Q2 (Everywhere else) and Persona 5 Strikers.
Also was in a few other crossovers including being a costume in the SMT X FE crossover and Sonic Forces and being in Dragalia Lost and Puzzles and Dragons.
While its not as many games as Rayman or Doomguy he has been in more games than 1, ever.

Not Only that, it wasn't as if Persona 5 basically revived the JRPG genre to the public and pushed Persona itself making it Mainstream after a long and hard time for the genre, and Sega saying that Persona 5, not persona, but Persona 5 is one of their strongest IP.

Pbrush seems to be credible, and when I asked them if there was any chance that Dark Souls II could be ported to the Switch, they said "supposedly yes, but nothing's confirmed yet". Better than an overt "no" for me, lol.

PracticalBrush is credible, I mean, considering they're basically leaking Directs almost word for word, it's hard to say they're not.

I'm seeing this mini Doom vs FF argument that idr wanna get into myself haha

But it DID remind me of this.
Hope it enlightens y'all.

Though Dragon Quest and Doom weren't really the progenitors of the genre despite being highly influential, when id had earlier FPS games like Wolfenstein and series like Ultima and Wizardry predated and directly influenced Dragon Quest. You'll also run into a lot of contention on the "masterpiece" since I would guess even more people would consider games like Chrono Trigger and Half-Life masterpieces than Xenoblade and TF2.

The middle group seems about right, I suppose.

Could you ask them about any Tales ports by any chance? lmfao

Joker.
I take Pokemon Colosseum/xD and Punch-out.

Still sad that the first Main entry on console, aka Switch of the biggest I.P on the planet, aka Sword and Shield looks and play like absolute dog**** compared to two spin-off games that does what it tried to do much better on gamecube.

Mother and F-Zero.

Sorry StarFox, but you're going to need some competent devs to come back first.

Surprisingly they're pretty responsive to comments on reddit. I don't want to push it, but tbh, I think you could just ask yourself

Really hard to choose because I have a feeling any of these options will end up missing the point of the originals.

Like, I highly doubt a Strikers remake will actually emulate the artstyle and expressions that the originals had even though it was like 95% of the games' charm.

Fair points.
Just clarifying, I didn't make that chart, though.

Golden Sun & F-Zero

I’d say Kid Icarus but according to Sakurai that’s like 1000x harder to develop than Smash deadass

 

[ahemtoday]

Two Golden Sun games

So is this Golden Sun 4 and then immediately Golden Sun 5, or is it GS4 and a remake of the first game, or is it remakes of the first two games?

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

So is this Golden Sun 4 and then immediately Golden Sun 5, or is it GS4 and a remake of the first game, or is it remakes of the first two games?

How about 1 remake of the first two games combined, and then a new game?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANYHOW

New game!

Let's say there's a new Bonus Fighter. No new music, no stage, no spirit board, just the character. Just like Piranha Plant.

BUT, let's add a twist! Let's say that this new character MUST be a character from of one of these three series:

Zelda

Donkey Kong

F-Zero

What would your three choices be, one for each series?

I'll start: Tetra, Funky Kong, and Bio-Rex

Ganon
Funky
Goroh

simple as

 

[PacificFun]

I'm gonna leave this here

(Also, I'd bring back Advance Wars as FE's more "light", explosive and "cartoony" sibling).

Geez, N3ON , how come Nintendo let's you have two Golden Sun games?

I know I already made one meme reply, sorry I couldn't resist this template was too perfect.

F-Zero & Golden Sun.

 

[SKX31]

My two cents on the matter is that iconicness will always be different across platforms, regions, age groups, and personal interests, so I've basically just given up on trying to measure it beyond "Are they iconic enough?" And in my case, my bar of entry is real darn low compared to everyone else's, so most of the time they are indeed iconic enough.

Case in point: Tencent's Honor of Kings, also known as Arena of Valor outside of China and effectively Tencent's mobile LoL.

It's absolutely iconic in China - it's the first game to reach 100 million daily players (according to Tencent) and has together with LoL itself pretty much ensured that the MOBA genre is in a pretty damn dominant position there. One of the reasons that Pokemon Unite saw cold reception amongst the Chinese hardcore was because it was yet another MOBA that Tencent (which the hardcore there also generally dislikes due to the rampant churning out) has a stake in. It's to the point one commenter noted:

“So many people are bashing the game, but they’ll still be good and play it when it’s out,” one Weibo user said.
“If they really don’t, Tencent wouldn’t be where it is now.”

(Why am I getting the same feeling with EA Sports / Activision...)

Here in the West the reception can be mostly summarized with "Literal who?".

Decisions, decisions.

F-Zero because that series could really use another game...

And Megaman's Soccer because I'm really curious and want to know how the **** Nintendo would tackle that game of all things.

So having a mouth = porn?

It was more that it could be looked at as either a shouting mouth, or a moaning one.

boi I am two years older than u stop rubbing it in

Alright. I think that might be enough Smashboards for tonight.

I guess I should just be glad that only one person tried answering Stoopid Unikorn's question, shouldn't I?

We thought we could escape the horniness of the internet by finding shelter in this refuge, only for the horny to follow us wherever we go. Truly, no place is sacred anymore, on these great wide web servers.

Mother Trilogy remake and new Mother game. Easy.

But seriously, Mother Trilogy remake and...you know what? Let’s throw the other dormant original 12 franchise a bone too. Mother Trilogy remake and an F-ZERO game please. Though many of these series’ fans deserve a bone to be thrown their way...

For me it's Kid Icarus and either F-Zero or Golden Sun.

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

Let’s have a bit of fun
Pick 3 fighting game characters that you would want smash and why

Chun-li
Johnny (or Cassie) Cage
Talim (or Siegfried)

 

[SharkLord]

Let’s have a bit of fun
Pick 3 fighting game characters that you would want smash and why

1. Reimu Hakurei (There's six official Touhou fighters)
2. Adol Christin (There was a big Falcom crossover fighter a while back)
3. Bandana Waddle Dee (He's in Kirby Fighters 2)

 

[GoodGrief741]

So... ya'll... I have some bad news.

As of Tuesday May 25th, 2021 at 4:14pm EST; my math equations have unfortunately passed away. I have tried to redo them over and over to try and get consistent results, but to no avail.

View attachment 316487

There's still a 0.0000000000000000000000001% chance of a miracle, but... that's gonna take some pixie dust and sakurai himself most likely to bring it back.

May 25th, 2021. That was the day speculation died...

Decisions, decisions.

It's really hard to choose just 2 so instead I'll choose 2 franchises not to bring back, being Nintendogs and Mega Man Soccer. As far as I'm concerned this is the trolley problem, if I don't do anything I'm not to blame for the bad stuff.

Mother Trilogy and a new Kid Icarus are my choice. Then perhaps Mother 3 can finally rest.

I don't think you are not rude. We just have different tastes. What is Persona 5 Dancing? LOL.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

It's a rhythm game on PS4 and PS Vita.
