I mean, I dunno why they can't do both. Most of these mobile games were born throu collaborations with third party studios like Niantic and Cygames, anyway.
Having read the article I don't see how this kills the character's (or any other mobile character for that matter) chances. As said before the decision to put in a hypothetical mobile character would've been done last year before the recent shift that's being described in the article. The article also doesn't say that they're pulling on the plug on the pre-existing games on the platform either and even it mentions that Nintendo will still give them focus, so it's not dead in the water either and they will still get support (which could hypothetically lead to a character if that's their aim).
I mean, Animal Crossing has absurd sales figures, and fast for that matter. It sold like, what, 14 million units in 6 weeks?
Given that mobile games are typically aimed at mainstream casual markets, I could see NH's success in that same market being the reason to shift major focus back over. It also helps that by focusing on games on their own platforms, they retain 100% of the profit and don't have to share it with Apple and Google (who take a 33% cut, from what I've read).
We do really need a second Bandai Namco rep. I think Lloyd for Tales is pretty likely to complete the JRPG trifecta with FF and DQ, but I think it'll have to compete with Tekken for possible representation. I'm not sure which they'd do.
Aw, you know, even if Min Min wasn't popular, I'd still want her the most. I'd just be less confident that it could actually happen.
Considering New Horizons' success is so dramatically higher than any previous AC game, it's really remarkable.
Here is a reminder about Euden or DL rep not being deconfirmed yet.Probably means nothing for FP2, since the fighters were decided beforehand, but most likely spells doom for him afterwards.
Financial Results (May 7, 2020) / Nintendo working on new mobile games, but “not necessarily looking to continue releasing many new applications”
This was a month ago, and there is still a new mobile game coming from Nintendo, but they are slowly losing interest on releasing more mobile games rather they want to focus on using their IP for something else as they predicted to not earn as much in the mobile business.
It's really weird. Bamco is developing Ultimate, for Pete's sake! Everyone else has two or three reps, and Bamco is the only company not introduced in any sort of DLC to still have only one fighter. You'd think they'd at least get some extra songs.
I mean, Tekken would be part of the fighting game trifecta too, right? I think that amounts to something. Either way, Heihachi and Lloyd both sound like combo fiends that would suit my playstyle quite nicely, Lloyd especially. I'd be fine with either getting in.
There's other characters I could list, but I'll go with these 5. Obviously I won't embed more than one cause that'll kill the thread, lol.
There's a lot of comparisons to Terry and Ken, but they also play completely differently. I think that was Mike's point. I'm sure there's gonna be people who call the ARMS character stretchy Little Mac, just as there's people who'd call Terry Hat Ken cause they never played CVS2 for 10 minutes to figure out how the two have different moves. Just like how Mac can't stretch and doesn't have Boomerangs, or Triple Shots or Dragon Cannons.
You're underestimating Smash fandom's ability to hyperfixate on superficial similarities regarding characters they dislike.
"Mega Man would be a clone of Samus" ~A TON of people during Brawl.
If it's between the two, I'm feeling Min.
It's worth it if I get to play as Spring Man after months of "everyone hates that generic mascot, Min Min is the new face of ARMS"
That doesn't change the fact that it's based off stereotypes that some fans like to latch onto and go "haha, that's true"! The original creator clearly stuck in some of their their own bias and opinions as well. Just look at Helix's and Dr.Coyle's, those aren't jokes - they're picking and choosing which fans they make fun of.
We can still have that even with Spring Man, since he'd be good news for all sorts of base game deconfirmations. Plus that's not the only thing we'll have to suffer from if Min Min is the fighter, hope you like a ton of posts on how Spring Man has officially been Morrigan'd and ATs are hard deconfirmations.
Which Morrigan? The one from Darkstalkers?
Yes, that Morrigan.
Took me a bit too long to realize that by Morrigan you meant 'the protagonist gets vastly overshadowed so much this other character becomes the series mascot'
Morrigan is not for good boys and gi---*Shot*
I mean. She's appeared in games that were rated E/3+ without getting toned down at all alongside that cartoon
Oh lord the cartoon.
That's what you get for pretending Morrigan can't be kid-friendly
Shulk and Cloud would just be Ike clones.
I had a real life friend saying Cloud was an Ike clone AFTER the reveal.
Well, iirc, they did use Ike as a base for his model if I'm remembering the 4 datamine correct so they're a very slim margin of correct.
I feel so called out right now.
