might i ask which time zone you are in?
It's been heavily implied that they have some say, like when Sakurai described "a voice from heaven" saying "Sakurai-san, please add Minecraft/Tekken to Smash". (at least, I think that was implying that it was some higher-up at Nintendo, since Nintendo has the Japanese character for "heaven" in its name - maybe I'm reading too much into a jokey little comment, though)
yes but let’s not forget he’s also talked many times about his decision to include. Even if Nintendo aren’t completely hands off it does sound like it’s ultimately down to sakurai
The impression that I have is that Nintendo presents suggestions to Sakurai for most characters that they would like to see in Smash and Sakurai determines whether he can make them work or not. My thought is that they probably give him a list of names they’d like to see and he picks from those the characters he thinks would work the best. I think there are other characters outside that list that are included because Sakurai and his team were passionate about them and thought they would be fun to include and they got the okay from Nintendo to add them.
well based on what he said in regards to min min and myra it sounds like they suggest games rather than characters. But remember he also said this was only the case for ultimate dlc
Yeah, that makes sense if you think about it from a business standpoint. As long as the game is getting advertised, it shouldn’t matter much to Nintendo which specific character they go with so Sakurai would be free to pick whoever he felt would work best or whoever was most popular with the fanbase.
Did the direct spoil much about the game? I’m definitely getting it next month so I was on the fence about watching the direct if I’m already sold on the game. If there isn’t anything too spoilery, it would be a fun watch.
Albert Wesker.
I don’t think so. I think a best we might come up with theories that are correct
It'll probably be part of the Expansion Pass.
it is
Yeah, I kind of feel the same way. The first game was one of my favorite games of all time and I still loved the other games despite their flaws but I’m pretty content with Xenoblade representation in Smash if we could get Elma and Noah. I don’t think I’d really ever need anything else beyond that. If we’re including third parties, neither are at the top of my most wanted list but they are both pretty high among Nintendo characters.
I'm not really sure if "obscure nobodies" is even a factor when out of ultimate's 6 unique base characters, 1 is inkling, 2 got in because of the poll (K.Rool and ridley), 1 is from a popular and storied franchise and the other 2 are from AC and Pokemon. Smash4 and brawl isn't any different - lots of recognizable first parties were included from the get-go.
Who knows? I'm not as bearish on this but certain indie games certainly managed to be really popular in their own right. It's definitely much harder but i don't necessarily see it as a non-starter unlike certain games that are non-factors in japan.
My knee-jerk is to say Hayabusa. But he already seems pretty likely.
as in the tank rather than the person piloting it?My knee-jerk is to say Hayabusa. But he already seems pretty likely.
So SV-001 Metal Slug.
Having now watched the first half and having never really playing this series I'd say it depends on what you already know. Me, well I didn't know anything so my take is actually if I want a giant game with a billion things to do this is a winner.
Yeah, that’s the problem. I barely have time to play the games I already have, never mind Three Hopes and Xenoblade coming out so soon. It’s going to be nearly impossible to fit them all in but I’ll eventually beat it even if it ends up taking me over a year lol. I still really wanted to get Shin Megami Tensei and Kirby but I haven’t been able to fit them in. I’m still at the beginning of Triangle Strategy. Other than Shredder’s Revenge, Smash modding has taken nearly 100% of my spare gaming time since I started a couple months ago so I’ve fallen even farther behind in my backlog.
I at least expect / hope them to show more of Zelda and Splatoon to keep the hype alive. Would be unwise not to do this.
After I saw the Xenoblade 3 direct. I decided to revise this. Instead of 2 in one fighter, Noah will be a regular fighter, and Mio will be his echo fighter. Their gimmick is they can swap their weapon classes; swordfighter and zephyr at any time. Both are started with their default classes. Noah starts with swordfigher, and Mio starts with zephyr. Noah is more balenced, while Mio is faster. Both have 2 different final smashes, One of them are regular final smashes, the other is special. Noah and Mio's final smash will be Chain Attack. If both are in the same team, then they they will be become Ouroboros.
Seems a wise decision. Wouldn't even know the others are making announcements, I generally only check Nintendo and sites like these have to remind me.
I'm in the same boat but we also want a PS5 which makes it even harder to play anything when all I do is play Smash lol. I buy a game play it for a day then never go back, it's annoying.
I can relate to that lol. There have been games that I bought and played for about an hour and never played again like Pokken Tournament, Yooka Laylee, Divinity, and Marvel Vs Capcom 3. Not that I didn’t like them, I just didn’t have time. Even worse, there are other games like Tokyo Mirage Sessions and White Knight Chronicles that I bought and never even opened the package lol.
I got all the Assassin's Creed games from the original through the last playable ps3 game I think it's like 6 discs but I just played the first one for TWO days then dropped it.
I will happily vouch for pokken and yooka laylee. And tms to a certain extent
Toad. Don't care how, it's his time
Play Smash-Up! on the Wii or PS2.
Now I can happily vouch for Shredder’s Revenge. I played that for five hours straight over the weekend with my brother and my friend. We have all been huge TMNT fans our whole lives and have been waiting forever for a game like this. I never thought it would be possible but I think it may have even dethroned Turtles in Time as my favorite TMNT game. Thinking about it, I’d say that TMNT is actually my favorite overall property ever, even more than Pokémon and pro wrestling.
My dream game is for them to work on a TMNT and Battletoads crossover game. The Ninja Turtles have been my favorite characters since I was a kid and the Battletoads have been my brother’s. I don’t expect that to ever happen but it would be awesome. Even just a pure Battletoads reboot by Tribute games would be awesome.
I hope it does eventually. I certainly understand that releasing it during currant world circumstances may not be the right time, but seeing as it seems completed, it'd really hurt if it was completed only to be never released.
