Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[3BitSaurus]

Considering I've had childhood rivalries about Halo vs Metroid, I would have laughed in your face if I was told this had a chance.

Every time someone says something like this, I'm reminded of Haloid. Good times, man, good times.

So to summarize: King Zell is reiterating the stuff about MCC coming to the Switch and for other things, limited himself to "2020 will be a good year" in response to someone asking about other Nintendo series like Pikmin and Paper Mario. So I guess we can expect a few more first party big hitters next year too.

 

[Spongeboob]

I also don't want 4th party characters in smash, but if we get one I'd be down for someone like Mike Tyson or Tony Hawk who have direct ties to gaming. No Spongebob, Harry Potter, Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, etc. I'd rather not open that door at all though or we'd just get buried in 4th party requests to the point where no video game characters are getting asked for

I would be cool with a 4th party fighter if they were either from Nintendo or the very LAST fighter in the last game of the series. (That means no more Smash Bros.)

There's only one space marine I want in Smash and it ain't Chief.

Buzz Lightyear isn't getting in.

Who gave this game five stars? View attachment 251854

Probably bots or a click farm

Nintendo still, STILL, STILL doesn't let you refund digital purchases. I bought a game recently I never even started, and decided I wanted a different game instead, but nope, I'm stuck with that game. Nothing I can do about it. This is inexcusable in 2019 and the only reason it's tolerated is because Nintendo has cultivated a "clueless about online" image that makes people instinctively lower their standards for them anyway, which is unfortunate because it dampens the upset that Nintendo should be feeling from their user base about this stuff.

Isn't not allowing refunds for digital purchases illegal in the EU

Can anyone here verify if this is KingZell and if this post is real?

EDIT: The post is real.

And apparently this IS KingZell.

EDIT2: I'm skeptical of this and I actually WANT Master Chief in Smash.

Well, **** is getting interesting, could be Chief in Smash or could be the MCC being brought to Switch (which does seem odd since they're already in the middle of bringing it to PC)

 

[RileyXY1]

Half of the posts talking about this are simply acknowledging it could be a port on Switch and nothing else. Please stop being a downer.


You're only saying this because you're not the one working on the pass. The sole purpose of the pass is to sell money. Grab attention. So why in the blue hell would Nintendo or Sakurai look at Microsoft wanting Master Chief, and Banjo and say; sorry but we only allow one IP from each company. You're pushing a nitpicky fanrule as facts. And how exactly would it damage Microsoft and Nintendo? It would only show how their partnership is getting better?

It would make Microsoft look greedy and trying to entice Nintendo fans to switch over to XBox.

 

[yeet123]

I feel like MCC on Switch would be impossible for the cartridge lol. Am I wrong?

If Chief isnt #5, and Halo comes to Switch, I could 100p see him being revealed at E3.

But lord willin, he's revealed in 2 DAYS

Either way that makes the chief very likely the winner of FP5 or post pass
(If real anyway the post is real but the claim of halo on switch in some form)

So you have no legitimate argument. Moving on then.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

If anything I think we might get another Microsoft, Square Enix or even SNK rep... in season 2.

I doubt SNK just because everything that came with Terry was clearly a big celebration of the company’s wider catalog, it wasn’t just about Fatal Fury and KoF, but even Metal Slug and Ikari Warriors.

I expect at least Square to get another character post-Pass though, they’ve still got so many great choices, you could add like 3 or 4 more characters from them and still be spoiled for choices.

Entice Nintendo fans to Switch over to Xbox
By putting their games on the Switch so fans can play them without an Xbox

idk how big MCC is, but Witcher 3 all fit on a 32GB card.

 

[NoOtherPersona]

halo MCC is at least 6 games on a cart i don't think they'd do it they'd probably put the first 3 together

 

[Guybrush20X6]

What games are in the Master Chief Collection BTW?

Just the first three or is there more than that?

 

[RileyXY1]

If Chief gets in then Doomguy's chances are dead.

 

[yeet123]

If they can get the games to run like DOOM on the Switch then we're looking at some amazing ports

If Chief gets in then Doomguy's chances are dead.

Death fears the Doom Slayer

 

[BernkastelWitch]

That's...not a good argument:

Snake was in Brawl with MGS4 material and that's a PS3 exclusive.
Joker was announced for this game and the only way to play Persona 5 is on PS4.
Sakurai straight up mentioned to play Banjo's games on Xbox on his showcase for Banjo.
Ryu in Smash 4 was getting SFV, a PS4 exclusive.
Cloud being in Smash at all given the infamy FF7 has with Nintendo.

That....doesn't mean that Microsoft is greedy. Heck, some companies would kill to have that kind of rep in Smash. Microsoft loses nothing from this, they can only gain.

Don’t be rediclous doomguy will loose ground from chief but not all the way

Besides doomguy and chief have severally different weapons so different moves

 

[-crump-]

King Zell addressing someone who brought up Paper Mario gave me a rush of excitement for a second before remembering the shambling husk of disappointment that series has become. Need to go play TYD again and weep.

But anyway I might actually play some Halo for the first time if it came to Switch, see what I’ve been missing out on for all these years.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

My brain can't even process Master chief in Smash. I'm not the biggest Halo fan, but I remember when I was younger going to my friends house playing reach local multiplayer. It's crazy to think that he might be in Smash.

 

[TheAJJohnson]

Will someone catch me up to speed on this King Zell guy?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

1
2
3
4
Reach
ODST

Reach
Halo 1
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo Odst
Halo 4

Huh... but you don't play Chief in two of them.

Then again, when have game titles ever made sense? How many Final Fantasy games are we on now?

 

[RileyXY1]

It would just be repetitive and they would be better off putting in the Dragonborn from Skyrim if they want a Bethesda character.

 

[yeet123]

He leaks Nintendo info and has never been wrong. He pokes his had out of his cave every 100 years.

funny enough Cheif is in reach but you gotta find him one of those blink and you miss it things they even made an achievement called title eligibility confirmed and odst is dlc for 3 so it's one of those why not things i just think of it as stuff that you missed in halo 2 on earth

 

[Sysreq]

inb4 it's not MCC and it's just Halo 1 like how we're being drip fed DMC instead of getting the collection.

 

[zeldasmash]

Yeah, I never understood why Capcom is doing this. This utterly confuses me. But hey, at least the Switch is getting DMC3.

BTW, if Chief is true for FP5, then Dante for Post-Pass. At that point, I don't see anything holding back Dante.

 

[Deleted member]

Master Chief would bring dope music.

 

[Bee Card]

What's the thing with masterchief ? Is there a leak ?

 

[AmphabulouSnake]

Master Chief in Smash would shatter the world
I don't we are ready for that just yet lol
Same if we were to get a Sony rep

 

[Barrubo]

Every DLC comes from different companies and Banjo belongs to Rare which is now in Microsoft as we all know. It may be a fan rule but it makes total sense. Some of us would be greatly disappointed if our character doesnt make it in only for another Microsoft character gets in. Not everyone but most people will be thinking that Microsoft is getting too much and that Sakurei have made a poor choice.

 

[Deleted member]

Conspiracy: we still haven't heard the name of fighter 5 because it actually is Chief and nobody wants to be the guy to get castrated for leaking that bombshell
slight /s

from what i know, i don't think that's Smash-related at all

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

It’s either way easily or both

The mcc collection on switch is where this is pointed but master chief could come by later for post pass or is FP5 to be announced with the collection on switch

QUESTION regarding the KOS-MOS "leak":

they claim the KH3 Re: Mind trailer would be at the VGAs, but it was aired today during State of Play. Was it only aired today because the trailer actually leaked?

Or does this deconfirm this KOS-MOS leak?

I guarantee you most people would be more than fine with Chief. The list of names that would cause that much noise if they were to get into Smash is very small, and one of them () is already in the game.

Isn't not allowing refunds for digital purchases illegal in the EU

Nintendo of Europe is currently in a trial against the German Consumer Protection Authority (VZBV) as well as the Norweigian Consumer Bureau over the eShop policies. One important note is that while Germany's a key member of the EU, Norway's not (although Norway has a lot of treaties and economic partnerships with the EU; being a member of the EU-associated EFTA - it's complicated).

In particular, the Norweigian Bureau argues that the no-refund policies violates Norway's consumer laws, and the German ditto in essence agreed with the Norweigian Buerau - the VZBV were the ones who sued Nintendo. As such, the trial's being held in Frankfurt and Hesse (where NoE is headquartered). NoE, on their part, calls the Norweigian Buerau's arguments "unbearable" and counterargues that the consumer can't cancel a preorder before the agreement's signed and the game's downloaded.

The trial's held behind closed doors, so we won't know until it's all settled.

I can read Norweigian kinda decently, being from a neighboring country.

Yeah, I never understood why Capcom is doing this. This utterly confuses me. But hey, at least the Switch is getting DMC3.

BTW, if Chief is true for FP5, then Dante for Post-Pass. At that point, I don't see anything holding back Dante.

My best guess is that the Switch might not be able to store the full DMC collection? Yeah, it confuses me too.

If a rumor makes a fatal mistake, then it's pretty much fake.

 

[Schnee117]

And then instead of a character, it's the announcement of an announcement of a date for a special Smash presentation, keeping us in this hell for that much longer.

Please, we already have an Atlus character in the pass

Making people actually complain about getting Banjo and Master Chief in the same Smash game?

The mad lad did it again.
