Smash Wii U No Adventure Mode?

[Jahnathan]

Anyone else surprised at the lack of Adventure mode in the Wii U version? Maybe they just haven't announced it yet but they showed off all the menus and it's just not there. I'd be okay with this if there was something else taking it's place but the solo modes are pretty **** for the most part and don't bring anything new to the table. You could get the same experience by setting the computers to random in Smash mode. The only reason to play them is to get custom moves and equipment.

I am not surprised at all. A Melee-like Adventure Mode would have been interesting, though.

Although, having an adventure mode would've been cool, you can't complain about the modes on the Wii U. There are literally endless amounts of things you can do on the Wii U version. All the modes on the 3ds version are even better on the Wii U and look totally different. There's even more of a meaning to beat all star now(final smash trophies). And if you're not hyped about smash tour then you're trippin. But I do feel like most modes are catered to having more then 1 person to play with you, so in terms of solo modes it could be lacking a bit. Photo Studio, Stage builder, and paint do look like solid hours to spend on.

Between event mode, a master core level, stage builder, smash tour, tournaments, amiibo, 8 player smash, and online I could give a damn less about adventure mode.

With the amount of content on the WiiU version and Smash Run on the 3ds already filling in the sidescroller gameplay, I can't say I will really miss it.

Maybe it's a bit odd the WiiU version won't have any side-scroll gamemode, apart from Master Fortress at least. But again, the WiiU version seems to have enough stuff to do so I really don't mind it at all.

I'm not too bummed for the lack of adventure mode. Single player seems to be focusing more on having fun doign random stuff with another person which seems to capture the spirit of Super Smash bros a lot more.

Sakurai said awhile ago that there will be no "campaign" mode like there was in brawl. Too be specific, he said no cutscenes because they just got posted online and he didn't want that. Also developing a story for it would have taken a long time and taken away from the modes they really wanted people to play!

 

[yahooda]

Smash run on 3DS is close enough for me.

But Event Mode's old and forces you to play as characters you don't care about....not to mention Mii Tour is the new worst thing. Master Core Level would've actually been very neat for Adventure Mode now I think about it. I honestly also don't see why they bother at all with Classic Mode or All-Star mode AGAIN, since they pale in comparison even if they weren't old and overdone.

 

[[TSON]]

They announced this before development even began...

Classic and All-Star are series staples. They took out break the targets and look at some unhappy people out their. "Mii Tour" is interesting so I'll give it a shot. Definitely looks better than Smash Run imo.

Meh, don't care.

"Unfortunately, the movie scenes we worked hard to create were uploaded onto the internet." Sakurai lamented. "You can only truly wow a player the first time he sees [a cutscene]. I felt if players saw the cutscenes outside of the game, they would no longer serve as rewards for playing the game, so I've decided against having them."

Hey, at least we got a board game.

 

[Deleted member]

With all the cool new modes were getting, I couldn't care less.

 

[AIM0001]

It would have been nice but I'm sure by not putting that stuff in it gave us more content like characters and strages etc.

 

[TimeSmash]

I'm really nostalgic over Melee's adventure mode, so yes I do miss it. The other modes look great, but I still want Adventure mode too. But you can't have your cake and eat it too, haha

 

[Kevandre]

I'd have rather had a Melee-flavor Adventure mode than Smash Tour. But... whatever, I guess.

 

[Banhfunbags]

I'm glad adventure mode is gone. I absolutely loved Adventure mode during the first playthrough of it, but playing through it with all the other characters after made it really boring because the same stuff happens over and over again, as opposed to classic mode where the characters you fight are always different.

How's all star mode any more of a staple than adventure mode?

What does that have to do with adventure mode?

 

[Rysir]

Being unable to see the characters interact with each other outside of fighting is sad but we will survive.

 

[Yitsul]

very disappointing. I mean it Adventure Mode was the best part of Melee and was what got me into the series in the first place (alongside Melee's fast pace) more negative feedback to club Nintendo to add on to.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Sakurai keeping his word? Naaaaah.

Not really going to miss it though, but I'm also among the people who would still have prefered it to Smash Run and Smash Cluster**** Tour.

Doesn't bring anything new to the table.

-Master Hand has multiple forms
-Master Hand has an "adventure mode" styled labyrinth
-Your options in Classic Change the BETTER you do
-You have a rival in Classic Mode
-2 Characters at once in Classic Mode
-All star mode is reverse order
-Event matches have different pathways, rather than the old "beat this one first to advance" method
-Crazy Orders and Master Orders

and those are JUST the solo modes!

You can play them to get custom moves and equipment, but SOME people (even competitive players like me) enjoying playing the game for the fun it provides, as well as obtaining trophies. You most certainly DO NOT get the "same experience" as random computers in Smash mode. If you even think that way I don't see how you enjoyed past iterations of Smash.

I can assure you're being sincerely ungrateful of the "pretty ****" Nintendo has worked discrepantly hard on for the past 3 years.

 

[kaliskonig]

Yeah honestly this game was almost PERFECT content wise but no Adventure mode hurts it for me.

Smash Tour and Special Orders are okay looking but honestly they are just modes that ultimately lead to matches with random conditions thrown in. A proper Adventure mode should have been the definitive Wii U single player mode. As I said in another topic
I am surprised and disappointed that the Wii U version lacks:
Adventure
Boss Battles
Target Smash
and Race to the Finish considering Smash Run had bite sized versions of all of these modes.
An Adventure Mode that took what Smash Run did and multiplied it by 10 was what I was looking forward to most. Like I said before Smash Tour does not not seem like something I will do over and over because the board game elements seem weak. You would think that a mode like this would have random bouts like how at the end of Smash Run you get into random things. The mode is literally just you rolling dice, walking on power ups, grabbing random fighters, and doing standard matches with them. RIP Adventure Mode!

Well there is always hope for Mode DLC but who knows.

But honestly other than SMash Tour being the weak link for me and Adventure Mode being gone, Everything else looks amazing. I love the Direction that they took each of the traditional modes in. I really love that everything is co-op now also.

Being in two games while adventures only been in one?

Wouldn't subspace count as adventure mode as well? Same concept it just has a story and cutscenes

Nah, then you might as well consider Smash Run an adventure mode as well. They all have the same setup, but they also all have different things to do in them.

 

[MajorMajora]

I feel like Smash run is the sort of smash 4 adventure mode. Not to mention we have the Master Fortress. Master Core was hard enough, I feel like adding on an adventure mode as a climax makes it pretty much the best single player campaign we'll get: if you have the skill. Better get better!

 

[LunarDistortion]

I accepted it back when the game was announced and Sakurai said that there would be no campaign. I think it would be cool to go through Nintendo worlds again though.

 

[Drclaw411]

I'll be honest. I was hoping for SSE 2.
