New Smash Bros for WiiU

[GiantBreadbug]

I think there's definitely room for evolution in the series. Uprising takes very little from its roots as a platformer (gameplay wise), so an Ice Climbers revival could be anything.


I'm just spitballing here, but how about this:

Ice Climbers: Sub-Zero (or some other silly subtitle) could be an 3D Action Platformer with minor RPG elements where you trek up mountains and into caves. Sometimes it's to escort an NPC to a certain location, sometimes it's to find treasure, and so on and so forth. You can take a party of four (the main character can be played as Popo or Nana), and fights take place in real time. The game would best be described as a cousin of Super Paper Mario, but with a tremendous focus on action sequences and quick platforming. Partner moves would have a large presence, with certain areas only being reachable with your Ice Climber partner present (belaying, lifting up your partner, catching partners if they're in danger of falling, etc.). New party members could lend new abilities, and the extra party members could be Nintendo characters from similarly themed games (Balloonist, anyone?). New weapons and equipment could be acquired, modifying the real-time batlle performance of characters. The story would be whatever, blah blah blah evil force at the top of Icicle Mountain, blah blah blah.

Huh, I actually kinda like that.

In Skyward Sword she did. **** tons of more stuff Sheik did as well. Which isn't hard to do at all in the first place.

Like what? You don't say. All she does is follow Zelda, almost gets ended by Ghirahim, and wait in the past while Link (and Ghirahim) do a bunch of stuff. What is curious is why you argue Impa when Ghirahim did far and beyond more and was promoted more.

Because you learn everything about Impa just right after the final battle, so promoting that would've been major spoiling.

Also, I've explained her role time and time again. Basically I either get ignored, or someone comes up blabbering roles are not important and what not. And then goes on about another character. And defend it using their role in their respective game.

Hence why I'm getting tired of this and just do and say what the **** I want.

Unless someone really wants to argue Impa of coarse. Which nobody wants cause they haven't played the best Wii game to come out after DKCR yet. Which is Skyward Sword btw.

Besides, OOT is overrated lol

Her role at the end of the game? You ready for what her role was. It was being OLD. She had no other role. Groose did more. Ghirahim did more. I'm sure Zelda's Dad did more. Like, every other characters in the game is more important than Impa. The only thing Impa really did was make a bridge.

Groose explored the ground and fought off the weird Grimace creature
Ghirahim was at your heels the entire game
Fi made your sword not suck (and tell you things you already knew)

Impa did none of that. And these "points" you make are "Impa should replace Sheik because PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" Your only argument and reason is the character everyone loves MUST be replaced by the character no one cares about out.

Everyone disagrees with you. No one thinks this is a good idea. So likely Sakurai also thinks it's stupid.

I'm only saying this because you think your dumb ideas are somehow insightful. I'm done.

 

[Weavel]

Pretty sure I heard Geno wont ever be in SSB because of the past copyright thing. They have to work something out with the final fantasy ppl.
And if they had the time to do that they should just get the rights for the original mario rpg as well.

 

[Diddy Kong]

LOL SMASHCHU U MAD!

Done with you now.

 

[Oasis_S]

How can you be done with SmashChu?

I just can't quit Chu.

Yees! I totally love this concept!!!! (-lUl-)b

Makes me even more wish this game would be made.

I'd NEVER quit you Oasis.

Spoiler

Not sure if this was on purpose, but gay cowboys because of Sherrif

 

[Diddy Kong]

You and I must have different Sexualities then Sir...

Oh my goodness that wasn't even intentional... You're the best.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Get a room you two...

 

[Weavel]

Get a room you two...

Dont you mean tent?

 

[Starphoenix]

As if this thread could not become anymore bizarre...

I like the idea Chrono posted a couple of pages back that maybe the Marth in Awakening is really one of the zombies revived by the shadow dragon and wears the butterfly mask to hide his eyes. If so I'm almost sure we will get a zombie Marth palette swap with glowing red eyes. Which would be awesome.

Would be badass......(and less girly)

 

[Starphoenix]

I don't know about less girly, but I could definitely see him getting a dark blue palette swap with red eyes. Then we could have a Shadow Link / Zombie Marth battle. If Krom was playable we could have a Krom / Zombie Marth battle similarly to what is shown in Awakening.

 

[Oasis_S]

You play as Krom in the next story mode, happen across Zombie Marth, defeat him, then haul is trophy around until you find Dr. Mario to heal him.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Booooooooooo Dr. Mario.

That is all.

 

[Starphoenix]

Better yet Krom stumbles across Ike and engages him in battle, mistaking him for another zombie force.

Or maybe Metaknight would be a better choice?

 

[Oasis_S]

Booooooooooo Dr. Mario.

That is all.

The only other Nintendo doctor I can think of is Doc Louis then.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Yes yes yes a thousand times. Athletic trainers are awesome (Doc Louis), and I'm totally not saying that just because it's my major.

Not at all.

Besides, I think some NPC appearances in the next Story Mode would be cool, and Doc Louis should get in on the story.

 

[Starphoenix]

Neeerrrrd.

 

[Big-Cat]

LOL SMASHCHU U MAD!

Done with you now.

You have seen the light.

How can you be done with SmashChu?

I just can't quit Chu.

Simple, I added him to my ignore list.

 

[Oasis_S]

Cowaarrrd.

 

[Big-Cat]

It's like talking to a brick wall. You can't win. So instead of beating the living crap out of the wall, I just move on.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

I think he meant physiological clinical doctor, but touche. There should be a clinic run by Doc Louis, Dr. Srunk, Dr. Crygor, and Dr. Kawashima in the story mode. Except Dr. Kawashima should have a body.

 

[Oasis_S]

Maybe the brick wall fell on you and crushed that part of your brain that tells you of defeat.


Also suddenly I guess Dr. Wright isn't good enough for anyone???

 

[Diddy Kong]

I'd prefer the slegde hammer approach. Cause I'm IMPATIENT like that.

I'd like to know what he has his doctorate in. City Planning? And yes, that is an actual thing.

 

[Big-Cat]

That would be another option, but I'd be the Stronger man by not breaking down the wall just like that.

 

[Starphoenix]

Meh, I'd just rather have an Adventure mode that features more characters. Really don't want to see a bunch of NPCs start showing up. Just bosses and playable characters.

 

[Oasis_S]

I'd like to know what he has his doctorate in. City Planning? And yes, that is an actual thing.

There is great poetry in city planning. A healthy city is much like a healthy human body. Wright has the brains and heart to keep it running happily.

Here's some food for thought on DLC. Thought this was a really good comment on the SFxTK DLC controversy.

It might not seem fair to have to pay for content that is already on the disc, but if you ever worked in game development, then you will see that it is actually justified.

You can't think of it in terms of not getting the full game unless you pay additional money for "DLC" that isn't really DLC. The term "Downloadable Content" is misleading in this case and adds to perception that consumers are being deceived. A more accurate terms would be something like "Overbudget Content."

Instead, think of it this way: If Capcom was not able to charge for the additional 12 locked characters that is already on the disc, then they would not have the budget to create them for the game in the first place. The budget for the full game does NOT include the locked characters. BUT they essentially went over budget in order to create the additional 12 characters intending to recuperate the costs by later charging for this extra content.

People would not feel deceived if the content was not included on the disc already and it had to be downloaded later. Why? Because doing that implies to the consumer that the content was created outside of the original scope of the game, outside of the original budget. But guess what? That is exactly the same case here, the extra content was created outside of the original budget, it just so happens to be delivered differently. Nobody complained about the DLC for Super Street Fighter 4 because of the release timeline in that case, but the economics involved are for that game and this one are exactly the same.

To many, this practice will always be viewed from the perspective of ripping off the consumer but for a reputable company like Capcom, this is not the case.

At the same time, here's Nintendo's views on DLC.

 

[Diddy Kong]

And then they release a 2nd version of a game, which already has 2 versions of it out already. YEAH, JUST ACT LIKE YOUR INNOCENT AND KEEP SMILING, WORKS EVERYTIME!

And nothing is as Strong as my IMPATIENCE.

 

[Big-Cat]

B..but they aren't doing the dirty DLC like that evil Capcom!

 

[ChronoBound]

I am still betting that "Marth" is actually Martha. I would hate if people start suggesting for "Martha" to replace Marth just because she calls herself Marth anyway and because "she is female and the most current incarnation of Marth".

 

[Diddy Kong]

That evil Capcom.....!!!

Spoiler

Lol I dunno what I'm saying / agreeing with actually.

Gimme some Ike as DLC for Fire Emblem already! At least then I have a legitimite reason to own a 3DS. Which I don't. I don't own a 3DS. Anyone wanna give me a 3DS?

Marth will stay Marth. Be it zombie Marth or not. This will in fact not be a Martha or an imposter I think, this is the real deal.

The three Fire characters from the previous games seen on the in-game cards in the trailer are:
Ayra (FE4, Seisen no Keifu)
Claire (FE2, Gaiden)
Innes (FE8, Sacred Stones)

I do know for a fact that Ayra is one of the most popular characters from FE4 (there was even an official poll where she got second place).
