THANK YOU so much, i was just too fed up to explain, but you made it super clear.
I meant the online servers being able enough to support Smash Run.
No you didn't
What this Guy said. Kid Icarus: Uprising is insane online, and it plays pretty well. It is just a huge disappointment that was not needed.
Some fine points raised, and I think when you really boil it down there will come a point in time where Nintendo is going to have to accept the newfound culture of online gaming with strangers OR friends to keep up the pace against Sony and Microsoft, and PC Gaming for that matter. Online capabilities are one of the new basic features of modern gaming, and sooner or later Nintendo will adapt to this. As I said, they are a company, and they exist to make money (while also pleasing their fans).
...You don't know how servers work.
Yeah, I'm starting to realize that perhaps Sakurai bit off more than he could chew for a handheld Smash game. The removal of Smash Run's online features and, seemingly, a few characters seem to betray this. I wouldn't feel so disappointed if they hadn't made promises for the sake of getting our hopes up. Meh. I'm still going to enjoy Smash Run. Honestly, I think the time limit is great for when I want quick little bursts of Smash in-between classes or when I'm on break at work. At the same time, though, I was really looking forward to its online mode. Nothing I'll lose sleep over, though.
Well, I hadn't even considered that a possibility but i'm gonna start assuming that it is the only exclusive mode now so that I won't be disappointed when it's released. I'll also go ahead and assume the connectivity function they haven't announced yet is transferring stages you made in Stage Builder.
What you told me is exactly what I've been trying to tell others about the clones, so no. 5 clones are barely the work of 1 original character. Duck Hunt Dog, ROB, Wii Fit Trainer, Mii's and all these "suprise" characters just to shock people make this a terribly lame roster. It's like for every good newcomer, we get 3 crappy ones.
Absolutely correct. With a different netcode, it could literally play with 0 control input lag since players don't interact with each other actively untill the event itself. It'd work exactly like Mario Kart Wii/7/8. There was no reason, period, for this to be excluded other than Nintendo's lack of decent priorities.
While this is a good point, the versions are sadly region locked as is seemingly custom for Nintendo. The US version COULD have online capability even if the Japanese version didn't. If Nintendo was willing to go the extra mile, that is.
I meant the online servers being able enough to support Smash Run.
I was also talking more about data, since it takes more of it for Smash run, than a versus match of the same length.
Stop talking like you know a lot about data, it just slightly takes more, only because it transfers the data of enemy kills and power-up gains. Otherwise it's the same thing, duh come on it's my major in college.
Alright, I'm going to be as polite as possible in saying this, because I hope you genuinely learn and grow from this:
Wow you're the nicest person on this forum! :O
And what is your knowledge of the differences between Smash Run, and versus matches? I'd really like to know, because you clearly seem to know more than I do.
I actually hadn't considered this, and now that I'm seeing the logic here, I completely agree. People will have fun playing as goofy Mii's they made for a week at most, then get tired of it and go back to lamenting about the exclusion of the Big 3. While I stand by what I said about the clones, I think I can speak for the majority of the Smash community when I say the Big 3 should be a much higher priority than Mii's. Also, Lucario could easily be replaced by Mewtwo so as to limit the Pokemon rep count, and keep people griping about clones if Lucario and Mewtwo were both in.
Since the netcode can take more slack since it doesn't need to be frame perfect like in regular modes, running Smash Run would be easier for everyone involved, including servers.
I HIGHLY doubt this, but if they did, I'd be thankfull FOREVER. Smash Run is half of the reason I even give care about Smash 3DS. What's the point if it doesn't go online? I know for a fact I'm going to play this locally less than 10 times in my lifetime, since everytime I go local with friends(and getting together with friends for gaming happens less and less as you get older), we'll play serious. Smash Run is mostly a mode to let off steam and have random fun.
Just for the record, I agree with you on the clones. I feel people should stop focusing their anger on what only took a few hours of work.
Then why is Smash Run not being played online?
That exact question is what we're wondering, and why we're so pissed off about this! It should've been easier to do than regular online games, smoother, and EVERYONE was expecting it.
Okay, I am going to tell you why! Because it is Nintendo! In an above post, it was mentioned that Nintendo has done/is doing this for many many games. This is nothing new. They SHOULD add it, but they will not because it is Nintendo.
Exactly.
)
Nintendo has ****ty hardware and software always, also not giving what fans want, like never. So why are we even surprised? This is Nintendo and you buy Nintendo consoles just because you like their games. I like nothing else about Nintendo clearly.
It is because of Nintendo the video game market evolved. It is because of Nintendo that we see innovations every single generations. It is because of Nintendo that we get the best First Party Titles and usually great Customer Service.
The differences between Smash Run and regular versus matches are inconsequential. What we're talking about is the toll online encounters take on the hardware that local multiplayer does not, which is next to nothing.
Um, fanservice is different, listening to their fans is different. Fanservice:RIDLEY AND MEWTWO IN SMASH!
giving one version an online mode would have been a really bad move. Not only would it require splitting resources and effort, it could easily serve as a bad PR move that's MUCH worse than one regarding a silly Famitsu misprint.
Except Lucario is a much bigger deal to Pokemon now than Mewtwo is. Yeah, TCPi tried to make Mewtwo more prominent with the new movie and the Mega Evolutions, but he's nowhere near as popular as Lucario is right now. We're talking a Pokemon that's sub mascot level as far as merchandising and being used to advertise the franchise goes. He's headlining new series of cards, he's been consistently top tier in every generation since his introduction, he's factored into two recent anime arcs, and he's basically the face of Pokken Fighters.
This is going to sound very sarcastic, but I promise you I mean it completely sincerely, as I am actually curious. Do you have a lot of experience in analyzing or dealing with this type of technology in games? You seem very knowledgeable on the subject and just a cool guy in general.
That's basically the rub, right? The problem is, I really don't think they understand their install base in this generation. There's the usual kids who probably still make up the majority of their users, but how many of the players of these games are older gamers with fond memories looking for gameplay needs not serviced on other consoles?
I didn't mean Locally vs. Online, I meant Smash Run vs. multiplayer matches, in general.
