I wouldn't mind 24 all-new tracks being how they improve. Sure MK8D has almost 100 tracks thanks to the BCP, but most of them are from pre-8 games.
I can tell you firsthand, there's a lot of improvement to be done after New Horizons. I know many people who would agree with me.
I agree, but does Marx even preclude it from getting representation in the same area? Like, it's been 16 years since Kirby last got a character. Would two characters even be pushing it that far? At this point why would adding Marx necessarily stop someone not from Super Star getting in? Like, in any scenario where we get Marx, I'd expect him to not be alone. Granted, what I actually expect is a scenario where we get nothing from Kirby, as per usual lol.
Agreed. The thing I don't like about the Booster Course Pass is that, to me at least, a lot of the new tracks feel like filler. There's an obvious drop in quality from base 8 in both visuals and gameplay, and all the track models are directly ripped from Tour.
That's not how it works at all. Ports will almost never sell as well as new titles unless there's a massive disparity in the install bases of the systems.
says my friend (he told me it sucks)
Nah, it's Studio Shadow to tie into Year of Shadow.
Yeah but we already have Luigi
I personally believe it will be hard to convince a big chunk of people to buy a new smash bros in that scenario, lots of people are not ready to move on from Ultimate yet if there's cuts.
And lots of people won't see the point of moving on if the next Smash is barely different. And yes, it'll only be barely different from the original Ultimate. Updated rereleases aren't given the resources necessary for all the updates people think Ultimate Deluxe could have.
Been saying this for a while. The average buyer of Ultimate wouldn't give a single thought about characters being cut. If the game has new features, new characters, and better visuals... people will be interested.The average gamer isn’t as hung up on having the full roster as Smash fans are. They won’t mind if you cut a few fighters, just so long as the recognizable mainstays are still around and there’s some exciting new characters.
We’re the ones who get twitchy about this stuff
I don't know where that guy got "people want MK8 again" from, because every single person I've talked to that's remotely familiar with the series wants Mario Kart 8 to be buried for good once the Switch era's over. We're so ready for something new. And the general public will buy Mario Kart no matter what, it always sells amazingly no matter which console it's on. The BCP barely even made a difference to the average consumer because the average consumer didn't buy it.
People who say Villager isn't their own character are tripping because last time I checked they're featured alongside Isabelle in the Nintendo NYC group artwork. Also got into Mario Kart. Nintendo absolutely markets them as their own thing; "Villager" may have originated from SSB, but the AC Player Character is still an iconic entity in gaming.
Nah, AC could use another fighter, as well as making Isabelle more unique. There's so many items and interactions in Animal Crossing that Villager and Isabelle in Smash don't even represent. As for the Resetti AT, it's unfortunately never happening. He's been successfully wiped out of the series, at least in the role that his AT represented.
No one cares about cuts as much as we do... I'd be upset if Palutena was cut but the average person wouldn't even realize she was missing. Y'all need to let go of the mindset that everybody in the world and in Nintendo's playerbase cares about everyone coming back. The last sentence in your post is especially funny because Brawl is still very fondly remembered despite the backlash from Melee players; and the two situations aren't even comparable. Brawl had objective gameplay flaws and balance issues. Smash 6 potentially having a smaller roster isn't exclusively bad.
Smash Bros. fans when 1 character doesn't return to the new Smash Bros. and it's Scrimblo the JRPG Swordo
I think the base that will refuse to buy the game over one or two characters is a tad too hardcore to really alter sales. Like, at that point, those people would be hardcore enough that mods would likely make a difference. And I really don't think we'd have many people waiting for the inevitable "Project U" mod uncutting everyone to buy it.
You're absolutely right that getting Marx wouldn't necessarily stop us from getting someone else, too. We did get MK and Dedede in the same game, after all, though that was a long time ago and those were pretty huge characters not already in at the time. I think a lot of the Kirby fanbase is just hoping we get somebody at all, and due to a lot of first party series being on the docket for expansion my default expectation is that we would only get one character this particular go-round. But it would be awesome to get Dee+Marx, Dee+Magolor, or etc.
I feel bad for Resetti because both in-universe and in the real world, the guy got the worst of it.Since we're on the topic of Animal Crossing-
Mr. Resetti needs a new gig after losing his old job.
Is he the best choice for an AC rep? No, that'd be Nook. But he'd be funny, and could possibly bring in a digging mechanic which would be interesting to see.
That guy looks fun at parties./sNo, this Nightmare

Not going to lie, Mr. Hippo put me through an Arnold Palmer phase.
More bigger Stage and track changes while racing, an open world mode, Monster trucks, hyperspeed moments, character changing on the drive, new vehicle types, yep, still quite a bunch of things Mario Kart can do...
At this point I really just want the next "gimmick" to be a well-thought-out mechanic that rewards skilled play in some way. Something like earning tickets mid-race by doing risky things so you can re-roll your items / get a special item / whatever.
100%. I’m personally hoping for E. Gadd and the Tostarenans from Odyssey.
Ever since Odyssey came out I wanted a Paper Mario game to have one of these guys as a partner
You could practically make a Paper Mario Odyssey spin-off and you could get 7 or 8 unique partners from each of the Kingdom's residents. 7 if you don't include a Metro Kingdom resident and 8 if you do.
