PushDustIn and Nantendo will host the event. Joining them will be Smash YouTuber, CJSZero01, YouTuber BriHard and Rory_J, a regular on BriHard’s channel.

Together they will discuss if they think Sakurai should continue to be involved with Smash, NX Hype and reactions to the trailer. If you haven’t check out the reasons why Sakurai SHOULD stay involved with Smash, and the reasons why he SHOULD NOT.

We look forward to seeing you there! What do you expect from the NX reveal? Let us know in the comments below!

 

What do I expect? Idk I feel the first few games that would be announced maybe won't hype me up just like when the wiiu was announced but I hope that I am wrong.

 

FINALLY!!!! They will unveil Brawl HD

 

9 AM? I thought it was 10 AM?

 

It's a 3 minute preview so a name and a glimpse of the console plus a date/time for a proper presentation. Anything else is a bonus.

 

Sakurai out of smash for the love of god please.
Though I doubt that's what they announce.

 

Here we go, time for the reveal.

 

Excellent name, though.

 

Sakurai out of smash for the love of god please.

You know that's not going to happen until he's dead right?

And that they'd make the game exactly like Sakurai would even with him gone.

On one hand I don't mind if Sakurai returns, but on the other hand this isn't really true. Metroid Prime, Majora's Mask, Canvas Curse, Super Mario Galaxy and Donkey Kong Country were notable-drastic twists on formulas and among the best in their respective series and not made by the original creators, so why do people act like Smash is some exception despite doing it with everything else?

 

i love the look of the switch, and mario, mario kart a splatoon

 

I recently watched the new trailer, and I spotted some stuff that seems interesting.

The image above looks to be a Mario Kart 8 expansion for the NS (my abbreviation for the Nintendo Switch), since in the Wii U version, King Boo is not a playable racer, nor could you hold two items at the same time.

You're reaching here...

MM was made the way it was to pad out the limited content they had. Most of the changes didn't stick.

Kirby Canvas Curse was a spinoff, and then they immediately reverted to the Amazing Mirror engine. The next main game was a remake of what's considered to be Sakurai's best Kirby, and every main game following it has been in the same style.

Metroid and DK were largely dormant franchises when development began. The "DK" series was more Mario at that point... DKC is technically a spinoff. Metroid wasn't terribly successful.

Mario Galaxy and especially the 3DX series are closer to pre-64 gameplay then anything else.

The only gigantic departures in any of these franchises were either made by the OG head honcho (OM) or took about twenty years to happen (BotW).

 

im sad ...beause no smash news.
but seeing that mario kart and splatoon get update....im sure we will get smash bros UPDATE switch.

Let's pray for some k.rool smash switch in twitch soon

 

Everything but the date and time for an actual presentation.
Goddammit Nintendo.
Also: Dragonborn for Smash with a Skyrim tour stage.

Could be a new one.

 

Could be a new one.

Or just a tech demo. Something tells me that it probably won't be released to public, and it was only shown to give us an idea on what the NS is capable of doing.

This is an announcement for the next Nintendo console, Sakurai has nothing to do with this. And with that said, it's kind baffling and sad seeing an anti-Sakurai sentiment brought up for no good reason, considering that the guy has done more good for the series contrary to what detractors have said.

Although it would be funny if a new director was in charge but still wouldn't vow down to some of the fans' personal wishes, so they start claiming for his head in a platter.

I think we all know this will happen no matter what.

Idk seems like an odd choice. Doesn't show amazing graphical capabilities, shows King Boo instead of more marketable choices, dual item slot would be an unnecessary detail in this case, and you have to somewhat look for it, it's not like the LoZ tech demo for the Wii U's unveiling. Just two racers, and different layout from MK8.

I definitely see it as a low key reveal.

 

It appears that Wii U games will get NX ports, so Smash Wii U will just get an NX port and that will be the Smash game. Also, it seems like Sakurai is done with Smash.

 

On one hand I don't mind if Sakurai returns, but on the other hand this isn't really true. Metroid Prime, Majora's Mask, Canvas Curse, Super Mario Galaxy and Donkey Kong Country were notable-drastic twists on formulas and among the best in their respective series and not made by the original creators, so why do people act like Smash is some exception despite doing it with everything else?

Canvas Curse among the best Kirby games? Doubtful.

You know that's not going to happen until he's dead right?

As if something like death would stop Sakurai.

Obviously his ghost would come back to direct the series.

Donkey Kong Country in almost every way matches more the definition then a reboot of the franchise then a spinoff.

Metroid was not quite the financial darling true, but Prime in particular was considered a surprisingly great overhaul of the standard formula and also stands as both the most critically praised one in the franchise and the best selling one with over 3 million sold.

The Kirby franchise always has played with the standard formula of gameplay style, so the only real games that qualify as spinoffs are Air Ride, Block Ball, and Avalanche. calling it a spinoff is like saying Sunshine is one.

I will concede Galaxy and Majora though, as they are more cases of refinements and polishing of standard formulas rather then complete overhauls though.

All the examples I provided do contribute to my over-arcing point though: all these games aware either directed or developed by people besides the original creator. despite this, all these games still became successes and the franchises carried on as usual. Smash does not die with Sakurai as he has stated himself in the past-I mean Kirtby has still been going strong even without him around(see: Robobot) and that was the game that got him in the industry as a teenager. So everyone acting like he's the only one who will ever work on this IP, despite nearly every other IP of Nintendo having changed hands and doing either just as well or even better then before, makes no sense.




as an aside though, Breath of the Wild actually isn't more an overhaul but a return to roots as it heavily expands upon the open world exploration set up by the Original Zelda and(to a lesser extent) Wind Waker and Link Between Worlds

The DK series basically didn't exist until country.

That's the point... Giving retro Metroid was hardly a risk.

Well Sunshine was awful and has no place in the franchise, so yeah lol. Canvas Curse is closer to mainline Kirby, but it wasn't a real way forwards either and itself didn't get a sequel for a long time.

Never said the series would die without Sakurai... Nintendo just overwhelmingly avoids change. Everybody does really.

...See, you lost me. I don't care what they say, the game doesn't resemble old Zeldas outside of the barren over world.
