Great to finally have these here!
do keep your hopes in check just in case
I'd probably say five chances since there is most likely a promotional Sword/Shield mon hidden in that pack somewhere but yeah.
im still not entirely convinced there is such a thing as a promotional pick
I guess it depends on how you view it...
whats that?
Arc Systems is the company behind DB FighterZ and Guilty Gear.
oh, never played those, the idea of layton being in one is strange
I guess Layton decided to go to Yasogami High School for some continuing studies. It seems like a bit of a downgrade after teaching at Gressenheller, but it's important to diversify your education CV.
I mean, I don't know what fighting game ArcSys would do that would involve Layton (unless Cross Tag Battle goes completely wild with future DLC), but I'll never object to ArcSys making a fighting game including proprieties I love! ArcSys are truly masters of their craft.
I'd love to see a fighting game involving Level-5 properties one day, asides from Layton, they could do some interesting stuff with Inazuma Eleven, Yokai Watch, Ni No Kuni, Snack World and maybe Dark Cloud among some others, it would be interesting to see as well as finally seeing Layton himself in a fighting game and how he'd work in such a setting if Smash itself doesn't do it first.
A Level-5 crossover fighter could certainly be amazing, though I wonder if it'd be better to make it a Smash-clone then an ArcSys anime fighter... You'd want something that appeals to people of all ages, while ArcSys is kind of known for their hard-to-learn-harder-to-master mechanics (with some expections, notably BBTAG).
Yeah, though that may not even tell us much. I've heard people speculate that this past may have front-loaded the third parties just because it's better to get the negotiation-required contracts out of the way... I understand that Smash needs its character reveal speculation to continue the free promotion that is internet buzz, but the fact we're in the dark almost completely again definitely sucks.
Good lord, Tuesdays are gonna be tense with the prospect of disconfirmations. Lets hope Layton can hold out from getting spirit boarded.
Yeah it would probably be something more simplistic than your traditional fighter, knowing Level-5 they will probably put their own little spin on it.
Yeah... It's cool to see the crossover growing, but it does suck to have a lot of popular IPs get deconfirmed via spirits on a random Tuesday... At least everyone will probably be safe next week due to a Byleth-themed tournament?
True! Level-5 doing a proper fighting game themselves would be very interesting, actually. They're good at putting their own spins on genres (sometimes literally, in Yokai Watch's case) for better and for worse...
ArcSys definitely knocks out one of the major ones left... Koei still lacks representation outside of a property co-owned with Nintendo. Otherwise, there are companies like Mages, Nippon Ichi, Spike Chunsoft, FromSoftware, Type-Moon, and, of course, Sony... Plenty of others as well, but those are the ones that quickly came to mind.
That;s the least I'd expect.
>When Snack World makes it into Smash before Layton, Yokai Watch or even Inazuma Eleven
Oh well, I suppose it would at least indicate that Sakurai and Level-5 have at least talked in regards to Smash....
i could see izumi 11 getting one, though that could be im holding out hope for layton/yo-kai watch
full kudos for using my favourite yo-kai
That would be me, Snack world isn't as appealing as their other stuff.
I don't think we have any sports uniforms for the Mii's yet (other than a jogging outfit I think), or at least no football/soccer outfits so it could lend itself well for any sports themed stage builder stages and the sports items like the soccer ball.
dont think it appeals to me either but i gotta give it full kudos for a so bad its good pun name i saw on its page, sultan vinegar
TBH, Snack World getting a spirit event would be pretty hype for me. It'd be a sign Level-5 is involved with Smash in some way without deconfirming any of the Level-5 characters that have considerable support...
It would be hilarious if this got a mii outfit because no one in America knows these games exists.
Yeah I suppose that would probably be the best case scenario. Use it as a sign that Level-5 is at least involved in some way without disconfirming one of their more popular and highly demanded IP's (assuming that they do indeed get a character, that is) It would at least not bring any tension between fans of Level-5's more major IP's, at least I think...
I think they at least have the first game in the US, although only a digital download on the 3DS eShop.
Yeah, the first game was brought over to America. That's how I played the game and I loved it. Kinda want to import the ones that came out in Europe honestly.
I've played the first and second game, they were pretty fun.
A shame this was cut in the western release though.
Yeah, it'd be nice to have Level-5 involved without the heartbreak that could come from a Yokai or Layton event...
Its hard to tell wether they are just promoting something or if it's just Sakurai trying to work further on his goal to make Smash Ultimate the largest crossover game of all time. Which, let's remember, that does include all the other content besides the playable characters.
And this video is already outdated as well, Imagine how many more franchises there will be by next year...
True as well, though I do feel like the odds of him having wanted to add Daemon X Machina to the crossover for reasons beyond "it's a new IP" seems low to me haha... ha... I wish that game had turned out better then it did. Regardless, yes, the game is really expanding the number of universes and worlds included in Smash Bros all of the time.
It'll be weird to see what happens post-2021 when the series continues. I wouldn't be too shocked if we got our Smash Kart or some sort of other crossover first, as they've kind of set an impossible standard for this game. I imagine Nintendo's lawyers are working insanely hard to get all of the IP negotiations to work out...
For some reason I can very easily see a Yokai watch spirit even being a thing.
I kind of feel like a "Smash Kart" might be something that the Mario Kart dev team might eventually decide to pursue, we kind of already got a taste of it in Mario Kart 8 after all.
Probably some kind of warzone I suppose, kind of like Castle Siege. Perhaps even Castle Siege as a full on track, where you drive from the top of a castle to the interior and then the underworld thing, and then somehow get back to the top?
It would be a good way to mix things up, as it'd be hard to sell a Mario Kart 9 in the Switch's lifespan without some sort of gimmick to make it worth owning alongside MK8DX. Sakurai leading something a la Kirby's Air Ride could be fun, though obviously not possible when he's working on Smash non-Kart.
Fire Emblem would probably just be driving around Garreg Mach Monastery? It's the only place that is iconic and shown in freely navigable 3D... They could also just pick any castle or town with an original-ish design, then have you just kart around it.
Xenoblade and Pokemon both have a lot of iconic landscapes that'd be fun to drive around. I wonder if they'd put third-parties in the first iteration of a Smash Kart... It'd be funny if there were some third-party characters in Kart and not in Bros.
If Fire Emblem had to be included into Smash Kart, they should be represented by Sigurd from Genealogy of the Holy War since he is a horse lord.
