I feel insane trying to use the ****ing Nintendo Alarm Clock for speculation, but them including Pikmin 4 as one of the five games feels extremely significant to me. They're really trying to push Pikmin as a big series now - so I think Otachi stocks are going way up.
To be fair, the five games here would line up best with Mario Kart. Pikmin really is the last big EPD series that isn’t in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe before we start delving into externally developed first party series, namely Metroid and Xenoblade.
Now we all know who will be the first newcomer all along
Also with they basically have a monopoly on crossover titles, if the need arises Nintendo could just get their help with negotiating the third parties back.
They did say it was releasing 2025. I wouldn't start worrying until they pull a Pikmin 4.
it just feels weird man.
Gamefreak's taking their time for once. ****in' wacky, right?
It was always set for a 2025 release. Everyone just kinda assumed that meant early 2025, but that was never stated.
At this point we'll probably get our first glimpse next February on Pokemon Day, and from there it'll release later in the year. My guess is summer at the earliest, holiday season at the latest.
Totally fine.
Yes. I distinctly remember characters like Roy and Lucas being cheaper than characters like Ryu and Cloud.
Honestly? I'd be okay with Smash 6's base roster having every 1P veteran, and 1P newcomers. And then all the 3P characters being DLC. Even if they were at-launch DLC.
The best part of Smash is getting to face off with characters from different series.
I mean, if it's anything like Pokemon Arceus, the characters will more than likely look like Calem and Serena, the X & Y protagonists.
I’m looking forward to the game but I’d rather they take their time to make sure it’s good when it comes out. For now, I’m holding myself over with Digimon: Hacker’s Memory and Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. I’d recommend both games if you’re looking for fun monster taming games while we wait. I bought Shin Megami Tensei V so that’s next on my list once I complete Dragon Quest.
Mainly because Ryu and Cloud also came with a stage.
I doubt the street fighter duo is getting cut anytime soon.
I already played both of those lol
I still prefer Something To Do With Love
I always prefered Sub-Zero, unlike a lot of people. The best solution would be to have both of them in Smash... Or Both of them in one character: Reptile as he was in the first Mortal Kombat.
I like Sub-Zero more as well. I think they could both join as semiclones with alternate specials. Both characters had the same normals in the classic games so if they based their movesets on that, they’d work fine.
I'm gonna maybe hot take this real quick and say Steve is perfectly fine in terms of animations for what the character design is, and if he had animations like everyone else did he'd look even more awkward and out of place than some people think he already is now.
Ive never thought the fatalies would keep MK out of Smash, my argument is that is MK would suck to bring into Smash cause MK as a fighting franchise is held up by the fatalities and take those away and its...not very good in anything else.
Well I don't necessarily think the fatalities would keep MK OUT of Smash, I'm saying they'd have to be toned down (as you said) unless they used certain ones because I think there are PROBABLY some that are less gorey? Not sure, don't really play the series, but I feel like there are a few maybe.
Yeah its position in Japan makes things awkward.
Being "banned" is a misconception that's been corrected quite a bit.
Actually, this does do away with maybe my one reservation about Ring Fit Adventure representation next game. It shows that Nintendo does in fact consider Ring Fit Adventure as a strong individual brand, more than just a simple gimmick title. And at that considers it a core Nintendo Switch title, on the level of their most significant and highly marketed franchises. Out of what they had to show today Ring Fit is the one series to appear outside of the "big five" that is most central to Nintendo's company branding.
oh mortal kombat probably could get into smash. they’d just have to call it Scorpion in America
Except for the fact that local retailers are iffy on Z-Rated games to the point some won't even stock them or have special regulations in regards to selling them to prevent anyone under 18 from purchasing.
Man! That video made me realize a 1vs1 fighting game with a graphic in the style of an adult animated comedy series (Like The Simpsons, Family Guy or American Dad) would be more interesting.
At least Bayonetta doesn’t have to worry about that problem lol.
Erm, technically it's a spinoff of Wii Fit
not unless they start using her real name
I'm not gonna lie, I think the only people who care whether Ring Fit is in the same franchise as Wii Fit are Smash fans.Erm, technically it's a spinoff of Wii Fit
Though, Smash seems to list the Spirits separately, as opposed to treating them as part of the Wii Fit series, so I guess it really is a new IP.
On that note, has anyone made a Ring Fit moveset before? I didn't play the gamebecause im a lazy couch potatobut I at least know there's the four different exercise categories and the wind blast. What's the extent of the RIng Fit abilities and how would they be implemented in Smash?
Fair enough. Still think the lack of any actual presence in Japan is probably a death knell for the series at the end of the day lol
Whoever said it wasn't its own IP was lying through their teeth.Erm, technically it's a spinoff of Wii Fit
Though, Smash seems to list the Spirits separately, as opposed to treating them as part of the Wii Fit series, so I guess it really is a new IP.
How about Chameleon from Mortal Kombat Trilogy? It has the attacks of every Ninja up to that point.
Smash has a few rough animations across the board, but over all it's not even close, honestly. Mortal Kombat, and Injustice too by proxy, are sort of infamous for having REALLY poor combat animation, almost inarguably the worst out of mainstream fighting games. They're notoriously stiff: the best comparison I can make is to imagine trying to throw a progressive series of three punches while keeping your feet firmly planted in a standing position, not allowing them to move.so business as usual
I think you're lecturing the wrong person
