Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

Doesn't Nintendo own the Japanese names for Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini though?

According to a theory pointed out by @vaanrose, it was probably a mistake on Nintendo's part. They likely thought they owned the the franchises, since they owned the Japanese names, but later discovered that Microsoft does indeed own them. So they scrapped the content related to them
That's an awfully big mistake to make all things considered. You figure they'd check the rights before even adding anything to the game.

Inb4 the special announcement is the Prime trilogy port that got leaked earlier today. Watch Smash fans whine that they're guaranteeing Metroid stays alive instead of showing DLC though
I am a Metroid fan AND a Crash fan.

I am sure we will get Metroid Prime stuff and CTR, so i am hyped just for that alone.
But imagine for a moment that they connect CTR to the reveal of Crash Bandicoot joining Smash... I would go totally nuts.

If someone here dares to bash the reveals related to Metroid and CTR, they will get muted by me.

You know, in Japan the game is actually called Super Smash Bros Special. Food for thought
I'm aware. I've been reading both the English and Japanese blogs for the whole cycle so far (Japanese blog is fun practice for me)

Question for you: What did that have to do with my post tho

TGA happens at 2AM over here, so I'm going to miss it, and while I could live with missing the Smash announcement (doubt DLC characters are getting full on CG trailers anyways, which is the hype part), the Metroid Prime rumors are eating me up. I guess the positive thing is that I won't have to watch the whole thing, I can't stand award shows, but man it's going to be difficult falling asleep that night.

Y'all: "OMG WILL WE SEE MORE SMASH ANNOUNCEMENTS RIGHT BEFORE LAUNCH DAY?"
Me: "Will they rework Prime 3 so I can use my pro controller or will this be my first game I play without the pro controller"
Mewtwo was revealed before Wii U came out, so who knows at this point.

I think it's important to note they do mention Smash releasing meaning they're totally gonna be like "btw guys, Smash releases in some hours" or something.

JDCabrera: “Is Crash Team Racing coming to Switch? And will the Prime Trilogy on Switch cost similar to the Virtual Console release?”

Just want to throw this out here.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Note that their earlier tweets hinting at VGA stuff mentioned a "few S P E C I A L things"; is that hinting at more than one Smash announcement, or just a general hint that there's going to be a few very special announcements at the VGAs in general?
PeekyBird some how manages to have an even worse track record than LeakyPandy, which is impressive.

What if they reveal Elma at VGA because XCX's western anniversary was like a day ago

probably won't happen they would rather use a massive venue like that to reveal a big name character like maybe a third party but I CAN DREAM OK

Today? It has been talked about since May.

Pyra Pyra Where's your Goemon enthusiasm?
GOEMON FOR DLC O/
Oh it's there, believe me.

If Goemon makes it in I think I'll probably be one of the most satisfied people in this thread, forever.

Realistically speaking though, it's a bit unfortunately unlikely

But I'm always here with my hopes and dreams attached to him and his team

Hell, could even have just been a programmer absent-mindedly adding Nintendo series trademarks to the game without thinking about it; that seems more likely than anyone at Nintendo thinking they own JFG or BC long enough for someone to decide to try and add spirits. That seems like something someone would have caught very quickly.
Plus, if they really went all teh way to Microsoft to make sure that they get some Rare Ips, but then decided to scrap them for DLC....

Jet force gemini and blast corps? don't get me wrong ... aren't bad games, but aren't exactly the rare games that did more waves.
Battletoads, Conker, Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct would be more likelier rare Ips that you would try to negotiate to have spirits IMO.

Prime Trilogy, but with Prime Hunters included to sweeten the deal (the game is 20 dollars on WiiU at the moment, and it's already a port).
Then you get Sylux as a spirit for owning it.

I wonder, does NoJ own any other Rare trademarks? Did Microsoft have to ask Nintendo for permission to use the trademarks in Rare Replay's Japanese release? I'm curious how they handled it now.

Hunters with good controls is something I want to play.

Things that would need to happen at the Game Awards to get nuts:

-Crash Team Racing on Switch with a teaser of Crash in Smash Ultimate.

-Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch featuring Hunters and a final date for Prime 4.

-The Avengers Project featuring Fantastic Four stuff in any cool form (Doctor Doom, The Skrulls, The Watchers, Kang, etc...).

You know.

I'm both Excited because a Reveal could happens
But also cautious about one not happening.

Especially excited because in general, it's Doritos pope himself who say "Hey! We will have Nintendo do something!" or something like that for a Studio. Yet here it's nintendo asking people to watch the Game awards before the launch of Smash Ultimate

So I guess it is possible that we're getting some sort of announcement at TGA. I'd be a little shocked if it hadn't leaked yet.

This should say enough.
...This writing style looks kind of familiar.

The special things are the pikachu and eevee spirits from let's go and that's it.
