Actually, 3DS had Rosalina, Luma, Little Mac and Villager. That's three fighters.
Their talking about the newcomers in previous box arts from past Smash games, not the Smash Ultimate boxart, which only has Inkling's as the sole newcomer at the front cover.
Ha ha, yeah, that's pretty much what this always turns into.
Nope. Not once in my life. For any game. Ever.
Yeah, they really bungled up what was a good idea. I'd love a Netflix of Nintendo's game library--it's not there yet, though. The Direct announcing the Online Service reiterated... everything we already knew. The only service they never specified previously were the special offers... which in the Direct they said they weren't going to reveal yet. And what was revealed previously was already... lackluster.
I've thought about seeing how the Springman thing stumped some people (Even though I knew just about everything that he did when it came to the models...And people told me I was wrong...)
I've lowkey thought about doing it but I'm not skilled enough to really make a leak look convincing, and I don't want to contribute to false hopes.
I used to make silly April Fools jokes on another forum a long time ago, but I'm not a fan of doing that kind of stuff anymore.
I hate this mindset people have of people being "ungrateful" as if sakurai is making this game for us out of the goodness of his heart. He's making the game for a business to make money. If we don't like it, we don't have to. It's not like he's just giving us something. He's asking us to pay sixty dollars for his product. Everything he "gives" us is a marketing pitch to try and convince us to pay 60 dollars. Honestly it seems like some people think Nintendo is a charity rather than a business.
I thought of it at one point, but I didn't want the mods to come at me.
Funnily enough, I never have despite enjoying fun fake leaks and Photoshopping stuff. I more enjoy seeing other people make them and putting my faith in stuff like "There has been no Xenoblade content on the blog, does this mean something?" and "if I Like every single Ayumi/Phoenix/Arle/Elma/Neku/Travis post my enthusiasm will make them popular via osmosis".
Agreed, people have the right to like what they like and dislike what they dislike. Everyone has their own tastes, right?
Yeah, but business generally doesn't require giving daily new information about the product.
I work in marketing. If you think the level of attention Smash Bros gets is common for almost any other product, much less any other game, then you don't understand how marketing works.
I made the post, the day before the 8.8.18 direct in 4chan saying that
Where were they complaining about news output? Even if they were, they seem pretty reasonable with what they're saying. They're not screaming and hollering for more, they're just voicing an opinion on a subject and sharing preference. I don't think that's ungrateful.
Damn bro the hostility.
Ultra Instinct Sansling screaming the longest HIYA of all time while the Megalovania Fortnite mashup tune plays in the background...and he also does every single Fortnite dance mixed with every DBZ fighting technique and shouting out Woomy all at once inside of the ink of the dead Inklings/Octolings all around the multimensional universe"I have to reach a level *ngh* BEYOND!" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I don't appreciate the hypocrisy in the idea that my opinion of other people's opinions is somehow "less than."
That's not their point and you know it. The point is barely any game gets this kind of daily thing until release and demanding more stuff is pretty ungrateful. Sure, the daily updates aren't exciting as they blew their load but still
OUR PROPHET AND MESIAH HAS AT LAST REVEALED HIMSELF.
I can't deny that I've been tempted to.
First of all, it's not distaste for other's opinions. It's distaste for other's judgmental and condescending comments. Second, I realize smash has more news than other games. That doesn't mean I'm being ungrateful if I wish we had more news. It's not like I'm going "Man, Nintendo's being ridiculous not having more news. It's bad marketing". I'm going "Lack of news is making me crazy" which is true. I'm allowed to wish there was more news. Just because Smash has lots of news still doesn't mean it's a charity that I should be grateful for. Smash isn't getting so much attention because Sakurai wants to make us happy. THAT would be a lack of understanding of marketing. It's getting attention because it's a huge game that needs a lot of expo, especially with only 6 months to reveal stuff. Ungrateful implies I should be thanking Sakurai for his service. The goal of all this marketing is still to get us to spend money. unreasonable? You can argue that. I still don't agree. but ungrateful or entitled? No. that's silly.
Indeed. I can simultaneously be disappointed in not getting more new characters and still think it was right to have "Everyone is Here"--it's the perfect opportunity in Smash's history to do it, and on that concept, they've succeeded immensely. Personally, it's tough to see any newcomers (outside of the obvious one) that would truly appeal to me. I've yet to play a game with a single newcomer, and if the ones rumored are all there is, that's not going to change. Whereas Brawl, I had Sonic, and 4, I had Mega Man and Pac-Man. The most exciting character in Smash Ultimate to me is--Pokemon Trainer. It's just with less newcomers, it's also unlikely for any of the newcomers to appeal to any one person personally. It's highly dependent on luck. That doesn't mean I can't be happy for those who are excited for Inkling, Ridley, Simon, King K Rool.Agreed, people have the right to like what they like and dislike what they dislike. Everyone has their own tastes, right?
For some, "Everyone is here!" was great. However, there are people disappointed that means less newcomers. I do not think that makes anyone "entitled" or "spoiled", it is simply a preference. As much as I love the concept, I won't lie and say that less new characters is slightly disappointing to me. I understand it and I am okay with it, but on the same token, I would have loved to see some more new content as well. My hope for DLC is that it will mostly focus on Wii U and Switch era properties, as there is so much there that could make for very fun and interesting Smash content. To each their own, though.
If you want to interpret the word ungrateful as being condescending, that's on you, not me.
Rp with me about Sora meeting Cooking Mama... Please.
No one is saying we won't buy the game because there wasn't enough news. I for one am simply objecting to the term "ungrateful". Unreasonable can be argued but we need to understand that Nintendo's job is to convince us. If our standards are too high and we aren't convinced, then it doesn't make us ungrateful, because they weren't just giving us stuff. They were asking for sixty dollars. Basically, just don't make it into some kind of moral issue by using words like ungrateful and entitled. And for the record, I'm not even saying there's a drought or that I'm not impressed. I simply said I'm currently going crazy waiting for news and was called ungrateful.
RP with me about a Rhythm Heaven rep please,
That’s funny
I have wanted Cooking Mama since Brawl. I also want to kick Bayonetta in the butt with Cooking Mama.
As a fan of Bayonetta: I approve.
What if she tries to teach her how to cook but the secret is that she's really bad at cooking.
Hmmm I don't know about that.
Fair enough. I overlooked her apparently.Hmmm I don't know about that.
Besides an obviously fake Boshi leak, no.
