I managed to get Katarina on my 5th pull from the new banner in Heroes. :D

I pulled some blues after trying to get some skill fodder or maybe Roderick, but no dice...I really need another Subaki so Camus can get QR2.

Also, I guess we know who are next for GHBs.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Fire Emblem Warriors? My only other guess is something that hasn't been revealed

Fire Emblem certainly is popular right now, but they've yet to really have a spin-off so it'll be interesting to see how it does.

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Good, Mr. Suzaki beat MatPat

 

[praline]

Can Pokken be done now?

 

[Staarih]

Wait. Odyssey is october...whats nintendos November game?

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are slated for November, iirc. Unless you're thinking Switch only games.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Yeah, we're discussing for Switch.

Unless they're just saying Mario is so late into October they're counting it as part of November.

 

[Arcanir]

I'm aware of the quote. I wasn't denying that the 3DS version was the main reason in this case, but even if another scenario arised where they had to cut characters, Ice Climbers would be early on that list.

Yes, but how early is the question. It seems like the Ice Climbers were far enough along to be playable on the Wii U, so they definitely weren't too early on the chopping block despite their age (and potentially weren't cut ahead of characters like Lucas and non-Charizard PT Pokemon), and we know they've been higher priority then other characters before since they stuck around while characters like Mewtwo got cut and Jigglypuff was close to being cut herself in Brawl. So while they may very well be low priority, it doesn't seem like they were very low on that list, and thus there is a good chance they still wouldn't have been cut in the scenario that they had to choose characters to cut for other reasons.

Of course, I'm speculating based on what Sakurai's said and the leftover data, but based on those observations I don't think they would've been low enough to have been cut barring those mechanical issues or having to make larger cuts to the roster.

[Chandeelure]

They will probably reveal a Shy Guy amiibo or something after this, everything gets amiibo XD

 

[ChikoLad]

Okay, but here's the thing you're failing to understand about the ''He said it himself".

PR.

Everyone in the entertainment industry of any kind. Just says stuff for PR. They say things they think will be best for the scenario at any given time.

Nothing that comes out of a public figures mouth ever matters, because it's all calculated and could be countered with evidence suggesting otherwise.

Because guess what? Sakurai has also said he doesn't enjoy cutting anyone and that he hates cutting characters because all of them has fans, which goes directly against his low priority, legacy, relevancy claims.

This is why anytime he says something he directly counters like ''No fighting game characters" then Ryu,

''Third party people have to be special cases or gaming icons." (which people misunderstood anyways) and then comes Bayonetta.

People need to stop being shocked.

So little bit of advice, stop puting so much stock in what Sakurai says because 9 times of 10 he doesn't mean it and it's just a calculated move on his part to control a situation that he is in control of.

"I have no other argument so I'm just gonna say the words of the game's own creator don't matter at all."

If you say so kid.

Sakurai saying it's painful to cut characters doesn't go against prioritising certain ones. It just means he can think rationally for the good of his project.

Yes, but how early is the question. It seems like the Ice Climbers were far enough along to be playable on the Wii U, so they definitely weren't too early on the chopping block despite their age (and potentially weren't cut ahead of characters like Lucas and non-Charizard PT Pokemon), and we know they've been higher priority then other characters before since they stuck around while characters like Mewtwo got cut and Jigglypuff was close to being cut herself in Brawl. So while they may very well be low priority, it doesn't seem like they were very low on that list, and thus there is a good chance they still wouldn't have been cut in the scenario that they had to choose characters to cut for other reasons.

I agree they wouldn't have been cut if it weren't for the 3DS in this case. But my point is that they are low priority. A small minority cares about their inclusion due to them not being beloved or well-known, and not having much of a legacy. As such, should any reason arise for cutting characters, there are one of the first to go. That's indisputable at this point.

And as I've said before, this still doesn't counr as a direct criticism of the final product of Smash 3DS.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

this yoshi game is beyond adorable

 

[Wolfie557]

inb4 smash for this yr in an direct after pokken and arms released and had their chance

I think I'll try making my own versions of the FEW roster
One would be what I predict and the other would be what I'd do.
Just need to ask what you all think the roster size is going to be so I have some limit for them

lets say 28 for now. Thats reasonable. They said it will have the biggest starting roster of all warrior games. HW got more characters but DLC and a new version...FEW can only have dlc.

I won't be surprised if Donnel is playable...and after heroes i feel like Anna has to have an Axe every time now lol.

[Kurri ★]

As I've said, getting Smash ported to the Switch whenever they can would be nice. However, I may as well ask you guys this since I don't think I've asked this specific question before; how many of you want to move on from the Wii U version of Smash and go to a theoretical Switch version of the game that's either a port or a new game?

Rather a whole new game. I'll maybe buy a port of Smash 4, but I grew bored of it's gameplay and it feels sluggish to control.

Honestly, I still don't get why people want a port so badly. Sure, there's the high possibility of new characters and stages being added, but Smash 4 already has a **** ton, and in the end, everything still plays the same as the Wii U version. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe added new characters, items, and a new tier of boost, but it's still Mario Kart 8 on Wii U. I understand the desire to let go of the Wii U, but for a port? Eh...

I want a Smash game that feels way better to play across the board, with all kinds of new stuff. Nintendo is finally embracing competitive gaming/eSports, so I want a Smash game that acknowledges that. Doesn't need to go hardcore in the competitive direction, but at least provide more for those who wish to take the game seriously.

 

[Yellowlord]

Well guys; one of the Nintendo representatives who you may recognize from the 1-2 Switch's demo back in January was asked about Smash by EE regarding the possibilities of a port for the Switch. While he obviously couldn't tell us anything and had to resort to PR stuff, he did mention that he is well aware of the Smash community, which is better then nothing I suppose.

[Chandeelure]

Why are Yoshi's new games so... boring?

Boring music, Yoshi making annoying sounds all the time, extremely easy, and for some reason everything is made of weird materials only to make it look cute.

Also probably boring/the same story.

Meh.

You can just ignore the person who has friends in the entertainment industry and has been an intern once or twice in it and knows what he's talking about when it comes to PR and damage control for a bad situation.

You could do that too.

Hey, c'mon, I mean, it's not bad, but Yoshi's Island is my favorite SNES game and it just doesn't compare.

Plus all the other things I said are true... for me.

Or did you think I was talking about the Mario Oddisey music? Because that one is cool.

 

[praline]

It'd be hype if they showed off a Smash 4 dx for switch.

Especially if they confirmed Inkling and Bomberman are playable.

It'd be the perfect game to release in December.

I know what I'm talking about too, I've written case studies on PR. Though really, bringing up "credibility" you likely won't prove for confidentiality reasons even if you have it, is not a sign you have a strong argument. You don't magically get trust from me for saying that, nor does it fix a bad argument.

There have been cases of PR not being clear or being misleading, and other times where things said at one point are later retracted, and Sakurai is no stranger to this, but Sakurai has not done that in this specific instance. You're the one damage controlling by trying to de-rail the discussion into unrelated areas. You still haven't directly provided any evidence against the claim that Ice Climbers are low priority. Their omission from Smash Wii U still isn't a direct criticism of the 3DS version either. The 3DS version itself isn't hurt by the Wii U version lacking them, and the 3DS version is still a much more balanced experience in terms of the quality of it's content, which is why I would consider it the better version in the long term.

Even SiIvaGunner has his own E3 reveal:

But the big question is will it actually see a release unlike Grand Dad Mania?

You are joking here, but with two Metroid games being annouced and exploding the internet. What will happen if a third one will be announced? The End of The Internet itself?

If Smash Switch exists we'll see it by the end of this E3
It's(in theory) a ****ing port so there's no reason it isn't presentable, doesn't matter if it doesn't show any new characters, it's a system seller and just saying "there wiol be new content" is enough to get people hyped.
Basically, what I'm saying is: if it doesn't show up today or tomorrow, it doesn't exist

Minish Cap or Link's Awakening remakes when? I know Zelda has already gotten a lot of remakes but still.... when....?

Heck they can even make a quick remake of A Link to the Past using A Link Between Worlds assets and all...

I personally want a Zelda II remake; that game needs more love. But getting any of the old birds eye view Zelda games remade would be nice too.

Yoshiaki Koizumi is currently doing a Reddit AMA if any of you have questions for him.

In case you are unaware, he's the producer of the Mario franchise, and has played a role in many key Nintendo titles like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening, and all of the 3D Mario games.

That's pretty close-minded honestly. The schedule for 2017 is filled to the brim, and Yoshi and Kirby will fill in some of next year's earlier months as they look well into development. And that's just the Switch. 3DS is just as packed. Is it so far out of the realm of possibility to be announced in a Direct later this year with it releasing around summer next? Nintendo had stated on multiple occasions that they don't like announcing games at E3 that aren't coming out in the next few months. Prime 4 is one of the VERY few exceptions.

Just because it's a port doesn't mean it has to be a 2017 release, nor does it mean it has to be announced here, nor does it have to be an 'easy' port. They could be adding a ton of characters and modes for all we know. Just because it isn't announced here doesn't mean it's not happening.
