New Smash Bros for WiiU

[-Mars-]

Haha, what's good, N?

In terms of anything worthwhile, nothing's even really developed, unless you consider flame wars noteworthy

nothin better than a couple of bowsers just standing on dreamlands edge spamming firebreath as measley lil fox noms up all the flames ;_:

I don't remember where I read it, but I as sure there where rumors going around that the Wii U would have much better hardware than the PS3. I wouldn't in the least be suprised if it was a big fat lie though.

I swear nintendo like pays people to make up rumors about them, like good rumors then everyone is pissed, like blue balls pissed, and then they buy that **** anyways.

What a privileged generation, you know back in my day, DK64 plus a fancy red cartridge was a world of vibrant colors and awe!

Nice to see all your wonderful texts fellas, really those are some fancy colors.

 

[Opelucid]

They better get rid of the whole friend code thing on the Wii U you should just be able to join parties like on X-Box with a gamertag and **** like that. SSBU's online really needs to be improved too I hated Brawl online

Oh and hey N

 

[Metal Overlord]

Gamertag system sounds great, just no achievements, please

Yeah, I absolutely loved the Nintendo 64 and the fond memories with it. Maybe a few years off I'll consider getting it back.

@Opelucid: Well then, I have some great news. Friend Codes are gone.

 

[augustoflores]

i heard that they will do away with the friend codes... one thing i heard was that sakurai wishes to never have leaderboards. im perfectly fine with that.

Oh and hey N

failcodes are the worst, nothing like hours of tediousity to find a decent brawl match.

2 min random FORCED ITEMS ON brawl was the worst **** ever.

Oh really? Cool!

this **** is ****ing fail. sakurai is gonna have to eat a **** on this one imho.

 

[nLiM8d]

Oh most def, it definitely means a lot if the game play is rock solid.

But less about nostalgia. I totally had a dream about a code-less nintendo online experience

 

[Metal Overlord]

People would probably just hack the leaderboards anyway like with MW2 if Smash had them

 

[Conviction]

Example of a good game but bad graphics.

Sonic Adventure.

Hate on it

Only a year left until we get to that point.

 

[nLiM8d]

You gotta consider the economics behind it, a game with arena depth like SA would definitely require a bit of restraint in some departments.

Oh yes, I hope Nintendo doesn't disappoint with the interfacing.

 

[SmashKing201]

I heard about getting rid of friend codes, but didn't hear nothing about Sakurai never wanting to add in Leaderboards

 

[-Mars-]

Sonic Adventure.

i played sonic adventure yesterday, why i ever liked it i will never know, game is complete trash, controls are INCREDIBLY buggy and the game is insanely easy/

Only a year left until we get to that point.

thats just til next year, smash 4 comes out next year for the next 8 years guys dont worry.

 

[Metal Overlord]

Graphics aren't the entire package, for sure, but they can help enhance the overall experience

Case and point: Metroid Prime

 

[augustoflores]

anyways, the leaderboards comes from an interview that i forgot where... google it... see what comes up... i think it was IGN... or something from europe.

Ohh hell naww...

 

[augustoflores]

thanks alot for the search help, nerds...

IGN: Smash Bros. is a very competitive series, but you have avoided detailed online stat tracking and leader board ranking systems for Brawl. Why is that?

Masahiro Sakurai: Well, I'm sure that people hitting ranks one through 10, were there such a ranking system, would be incredibly pleased with it and having a lot of fun. But, you know, it's not fun for everybody involved per se if such a system were to exist. I was asked this time around to try and get Wi-Fi into the game and so certainly we've managed to get wireless battles so you can play with people in other places. But it's really a game in my mind that has been designed to be played with a smaller group of people -- be that a group of friends or within your house a group of family members -- competing in the small circles and not really worrying about winning and losing so much as the process that gets you there. That is where the fun should hopefully be for a lot of people. It can also be kind of trying and painful for some people who want to be at the top and think that they're really good at Smash and they look at their online ranking and they're the one-hundred-thousandth best Smash Bros. player -- those are some of the reasons I've decided not to go with leader boards.

 

[Big-Cat]

i heard that they will do away with the friend codes... one thing i heard was that sakurai wishes to never have leaderboards. im perfectly fine with that.

Sakurai said that for Brawl since he didn't want to see people's spirits crushed when they find out they're not all that good. In other words, socialism in videogames. What has this world come to?

Great to have you back, N.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I just wanna see the E3 and see how the Wii U works. If it plays worse than the Wii, I'm not gonna get it. Simple as that. Seriously, the amount of games I buy gets less each generation. Had a **** ton of SNES games, then a lesser amount of a **** ton of N64, a reasonable amount of GCN games, and I guess just the classics of the Wii.

 

[augustoflores]

hey diddy... it couldn't possibly play worse than the Wii... Wii U games are compatable with Wii tech... it could only improve from there.
unless you only played every game with gamecube tech.

this is me being optimistic... lol... the only reason i don't have a wii is cause of the economy and cause i gots no jobz... if i did though... i would be littered with great titles and t*tties.

 

[Conviction]

Sadly the same has been happening with me too Diddy

 

[nLiM8d]

Augusto, your mentions are surprisingly outgoing lately.

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

I got Quest 64 from a friend at school today. I'm gonna play it to see what I think of Brian.

 

[augustoflores]

what ever do you mean, N?

...brian... Oh! Quest 64! i had always wondered what you meant when you say brian.

 

[Big-Cat]

this is me being optimistic... lol... the only reason i don't have a wii is cause of the economy and cause i gots no jobz... if i did though... i would be littered with great titles and t*tties.

I'm in a similar job situation. My dad works for DOW and he found out recently that HR is cutting back on hiring people, including interns so my application may never get through due to this economy.

On my little socialsim reference earlier, what do you think is the "problem" with multiplayer games like Street Fighter, Call of Duty, and even Smash when it comes to accessibility? In my opinion, it has nothing to do with the depth of the games. Rather, it has to do with the developers just tossing in the player with just the controls at best.

Actually, I take back what I said a little bit. Depth CAN be a problem if something is made excessively complicated.

 

[nLiM8d]

Its a turn of pace that I'm seeing, maybe. Being outspoken is no small feat.

In other words, socialism in videogames.

What heavy implications there fella, it can't be all that severe can it?

 

[Opelucid]

I wonder if the Wii U will have GCN games on the Virtual Console so people are still able to play SSBM and a few other games. As for the leaderboards for Smash discussion I really don't have much to say about it...

 

[Big-Cat]

What heavy implications there fella, it can't be all that severe can it?

It can be. Socialism may be a strong word, but communism would be an ever stronger term. Maybe political correctness is a better term than socialism as the underlying thing here is that "everyone's a winner."

 

[Conviction]

I can see the polotical connection you are using there Kuma.

The delevopers are the goverment and we the players on the online community are the (derp) community they govern over.

 

[nLiM8d]

Impossible, there is no victory without loss. If not, there's definitely no appreciation for the victory without recognizing what's at stake if the loss were to occur.

The notion of a universally accessible system is a game changer for the Wii U.

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly, I was pleased with what the Wii had to offer and if I had the money, I would be buying and playing my Wii on an almost daily basis.

Also, no leaderboard sure has a lame excuse from Sakurai. Why not just make it optional?

 

[Zzuxon]

What are we talking about?

 

[Big-Cat]

Impossible, there is no victory without loss. If not, there's definitely no appreciation for the victory without recognizing what's at stake if the loss were to occur.

Tell that to the people that like to push that kind of philosophy.

@SSBF
I don't know how you could make the leaderboard optional. Seems like an odd thing to do.

 

[Conviction]

@Kuma: EASY! Just make the leaderboard go by seasons. It resets every season change. Fall,Summer,Winter,Spring leaderboards. You can choose to sign-up for any of the leaderboards, during anytime of the leaderboard, or just not participate in the leaderboard at all.

/taking notes from AllisBrawl

 

[nLiM8d]

Certainly doesn't make sense to omit a Leaderboard. You knew what you were in for when you chose to view it, anyhow.

 

[augustoflores]

a resetting leaderboard... woah... mind=blown...

@zuzu... leaderboards.

 

[nLiM8d]

Oh yes
