I don't dislike any of the Smash games either. Like most Nintendo franchises, there isn't really one I can think of that's outright bad. There are ones I feel are better than others, but that's just my opinion and personal preferences talking. None of the Smash games are anywhere near being objectively bad. Each one has it's faults, yes, but they also all have incredible strengths.
I played. Mario Bros. 3 and I thought it was boring. I wanna think it’s fun. But I can’t bring myself too. I’ve been spoiled by these new HD graphics and crud.
I've been thinking about getting Brawl, but I decided not too.
to be in Ultimate.
Forces was decent, alright. It was a good enough game. But to me, Unleashed was way better, even with the nighttime stages, which were not bad. The daytime stages, though, had that reflex based gameplay with its speed, which was so fun.
> "Every character there looked like they would fit in Mario 64, or were pulled out of N64 games."
Smash 64 was just the first. That's all. There's nothing it inherently does better than any of its sequels. Many games from the 32-/64-bit era are looked back on fondly but really don't hold up to the test of time when compared to what came after them.
Because Nintendo has a habit of not releasing Mother games.
Fixed. When the man feels like writing a story, he completes it, so he musn't be pestered about it.
I should have known I wouldn't have liked Smash 4 as much as either Melee or Brawl before the game even came out. I remember when the game's very 1st E3 trailer dropped, and the only new characters revealed in its 1st trailer was Villager, Mega Man, and Wii Fit Girl? Really? Compared the Melee's debut trailer showing Zelda, Sheik, Ice Climbers, Bowser and Peacher, and Brawl's debut trailer showing Meta Knight, and critically revamped Pit, Zero Suit Samus (who was also used to tease super moves for Smash with Samus' Zero Laser), and Wario, then SNAKE of all people, three newcomers for 4's debut felt wimpy, especially when two of them were just Villager and Wii Fit Girl. Even Mega Man seemed meh compared to the Thunder Snake's surprise confirmation for Brawl brought. You just couldn't top that (IMO, even Sonic's confirmation for Brawl couldn;t hold up to Snake...Sonic people could have wrapped their minds around. Sonic, people fantasied being in SSB...who on Earth would have ever predicted or imagined Solid Snake in a SSB at that time???)
While I certainly don't speak for him. I don't think Smash 4 is bad it's just REALLY bland. My problems with the game lie with:
I feel like, in this wonderful world where Nintendo bought Rare, by the time Ultimate was in development, Rare would have had newer franchises for Nintendo to pick a newcomer besides just more Banjo-Kazooie. By this time, a Nintendo-owned Rare could have come out with any hypothetical new IP that could have given us a Ultimate rep.
Thankfully that wasn't the case. I ended up completing the game a couple months month later along with Galaxy 2.
late reply but I'd change back Wario's side smash to the Brawl shoulder bash. It was so much better than the giant fist
I agree. SMB3 is not that great. I'm not sorry, I just don't get its legacy outside of the McDonald toys and The Wizard promotion. I played it 2-3 years ago and found it blegh...
Gruntilda would be like how Ridley and K. Rool are nowadays lol. "We need more villain reps, Sakurai plz"
The 9-year wait was definitely worth it, IMO. The fact that there's an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to the development of Mother 3 says a LOT. The man deserves the vacation.
Can definitely agree with you there on a lot of those points, though Little Mac was hella hype, considering how GODLIKE his Wii reboot was.
It fits much better as his dash attack now.late reply but I'd change back Wario's side smash to the Brawl shoulder bash. It was so much better than the giant fist
Indeed, it's very difficult to predict what would have happen in the interim, as it's essentially alternative history (existing perhaps in another universe). If I would have to guess, I would think Conker would have been replaced in 4 with a hypothetical new Rare IP. Joanna Dark makes sense for Brawl given it's a more grittier take, and Gruntila makes sense for Ultimate being a slightly requested villain (who would have perhaps been more requested if she remained a Nintendo character).
I laughed harder than I should’ve at that.
Maybe not by today's standards, but if you look at the rest of the games during that time period, it was pretty amazing for an NES game.
Smash 4 made me hate All-Stars mode for the 1st time ever, as well as 8-player Smash.
I see that you're also a man of culture as well, his reveal was among the most exciting parts of 4 for me.
On the bright side, the shoulder bash is his running attack now.late reply but I'd change back Wario's side smash to the Brawl shoulder bash. It was so much better than the giant fist
And that's IF it lasts long enough without the staff throttling each other and dropping the project.The Mother series also went through a very tough development cycle each game.
The same is happening with the Mother 4 fangame which is gonna get rebranded and lose Mr. Saturn
"A North American version was announced as EarthBound 64"
Dang, I didn't know it was going that bad
I want to say Brawl would have also included a Killer Instinct character. Jago or Fulgore. It is a fighting game after all, I think their inclusion would have been just a matter of time.
Super Mario Bros 3 was one of my first Nintendo games too ... well, the gba version was.
Super Mario Land 2 is awesome, the only problems are that it has occasional slowdowns/frame drops and the level design is a bit too simple in some levels. Other than that, it's a very memorable and underrated Mario game.
Try not to trip over all those low bars.
