Had a few from square in mind, but Namco I didn't.
Forgot about Heichi, thanks! especially since he was considered to. I could see someone from bravely default.

We all already know it's bogus lol.

Is Crash re-owned by Sony again? I heard rumors of Sony re-purchasing the rights to the Crash series but IDK if it's true or not.

They have hinted at it, but we have no confirmation yet.

Fake, fake, SUPER Fake.

The chances of this beign real are the same chances of me asking a girl out. (tough to be fair, i would actually like most of those characters in the game, especially K.Rool and Bandanna Dee since i actually voted for them during the Ballot days)

Fiora: I'm feeling prettt good
Shulk: Looking good too Fiora!

I swear that entire game is driven by Shulk's obvious crush on her.

Then there's the whole scene with Shulk

Spoiler: Xenoblade Spoilers

Giving an unconcious Fiora water by making out with her. And then she wakes up partway through and comments about how it's their first kiss. . .

Yeah, the only way that's getting any more obvious is if Shulk starts waving around a sign that says "I WANT TO BE YOUR HUSBANDO, FIORA" everywhere he goes.

I keep on wondering, why do people like the idea of a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U port so much? It just doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, each and every single Smash game has been unique in its own right and has been created with the console it was releasing on in mind. A port may end up ruining that tradition. One may say "B-but look at the sales! It needs more than 4.61 million units!", but just because Wii U did horribly in sales doesn't automatically mean they'll port the game (plus Splatoon and Super Mario Maker) over to NX. The game's name, GamePad-centric features and series release history make the idea of a port relatively impossible to me. If it turns out to be a thing, I'll probably just skip it and wait until an actual Smash Bros. game comes out for it.

In the case of Twilight Princess, it kind of made sense to port it over to Wii because GameCube's lifecycle was coming to an end. So I see why many people expect to see the Wii U Zelda game on the new system. However, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was released during what I can consider to be middle of Wii U's lifecycle. Therefore, such a thing still doesn't make sense to me. While you're at it, why not re-release Mario Kart 8 instead of releasing a brand new Mario Kart, and give people even less of a reason to buy a Wii U while causing consumer confusion at the same time?

Meh, these are just my thoughts on the subject. That 4chan "leak" is as fake as with almost everything that comes from the site.

I'll tell you why:
More characters.

Because the idea of more Smash apparently equals more content. And with people still to this day yearning for characters like Wolf and Ice Climbers to still be in Smash 4, this is the next best excuse.

And sure, implying the port will exist that doesn't mean we'll get them, but when has that stopped anyone?

Pretty interesting mini-doc series about Overwatch

There's even a part that explains the whole Tracer pose change that the internet got flustered (TL;DW: It wasn't censorship)

There's two more episodes before it and I'd recommend watching those as well.

Because people want more characters and for some reason think it'll help bolster sales of the NX. I'm sorry, if Smash 4 didn't make a huge impact on Wii U sales, a re-release on the next console will make an even smaller impact.

I've also heard arguments about how it'll help customers not feel ripped off or something. Eh...

Because people can't get over the fact their favorite character isn't playable
The port is pretty much pointless in itself as, realistically, it wouldn't have new content, would not attract new customers and overall would not be profitable

All that I can say is that Smash 3DS / Wii U are all done with their contents, and I doubt that that will ever change.

I agree. The only two Smash Bros. games that have done very well in sales are Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Either people just happen to believe Emily Rogers and Serkan Toto so much or they desperately want it to succeed even more when it has sold very well in its own right to begin with. For a Wii U game, 4.61 million+ is good. It may be the worst-selling Smash game, but it's slowly getting close to beating Smash 64.

Porting it to NX with all the DLC built-in sounds ridiculous. The idea makes it sound as if people didn't know how to navigate through the Wii U eShop and purchase content from there. And if development has truly ceased for 3DS/Wii U, then a port with new content doesn't make sense. A new Smash game taking full advantage of NX's capabilities (and perhaps the 3DS successor as well, because the 3DS game's sales have proven the series can work on handhelds) would sound better, and I'd gladly wait for it to come out well after the system's launch.

Not to mention, I think adding new content as an incentive to buy the port would upset Wii U and 3DS owners. If it ever manages to become a thing, this port may very well be the NX's only Smash Bros. game and that'd be pretty underwhelming. Smash is just like Mario Kart-- there's only one game coming out for a system. In short, I believe a new game coming out for the system after launch sounds like a better idea than a silly excuse of a cash-grab that shouldn't exist when you can already buy a Wii U and / or 3DS and play it.

 

[Ura]

IDK if the port is going to have new characters but I hope that DLC is a thing if this port turns out to be true. As in the port being released and then DLC being started for that system exclusively based on Ballot results and whatnot. Unlikely? Probably but I still have faint hope for that happening.

You have hope we're getting a port and dlc for a game that has no ****ing reason for getting a port. It's best to get rid of that false hope

 

[Ura]

Unlikely but not impossible as I said and I only have faint hope for this happening. This port can take the HWL route and add additional characters to the game initially and then add DLC afterwards. Keep in mind that there was 2 DLC periods. One for the original HW and one for both HW and HWL. Maybe something like annual or semi-annual DLC packs to keep the game running through the NX's life. That's an idea I had. I'd be inclined to agree with you if this port doesn't include any new characters.

-Because people want to be able to trade in their Wii U and it's games and buy the next console cheap, with updated ports of the big Wii U games.

-Because it makes business sense to do it. There are a lot of people who want Smash 4 on a console, but don't think the Wii U is attractive because of a lack of third party support.

-Because Smash Wii U was awfully lacking in the content and features department when it came to anything that wasn't characters, stages, and music and trophies, and they can easily add more on to the game in a port.

-There is absolutely no need to rebuild Smash from the ground up again. There's too many characters and stages and what not now for that to make sense. The base mechanics are also pretty much perfect. Smash should go on as a game that keeps building on itself, or else they'll have to scrap a lot of characters they worked hard on in a future installment.

I don't know why, but I've always been attached to the eye patch more. Sure the scouter makes him look cooler and slightly more badass, but the patch just fits his character and personality more.

But hey, if that's your preferred design, then that's alright.

 

[Burruni]

So, while at work.
I... came up with a bit of theorizing with KH3.

Spoiler

So, it's been hammered in between the ending "arc" of DDD and Nomura's actual words about the game that it's gonna be the big finale for the "Xehanort saga" and heavily focus on the 7 of Light; 13 of Darkness.

The latter of course being the varying entities of Xehanort himself and the former being the keyblade wielders to stop him.

But with that, we leave ourselves with only 5 of light so far.
Sora, Riku, King Mickey, Kairi, and most recently... Lea.

And of the remaining two, one of them has to be Aqua. The full ending for BBS and up-playing from Re:Coded and such really plays up her return. Her ending a path from the realm of darkness to the Shore Between with what remains of Ansem the Wise by all means should leave has a "fair game" for a return.

For the second, in my eyes there are two major options.

A) Terra is in some part "saved" from Xehanort and freed to retaliate. We /were/ left with his sentient armor and him swearing to Xehanort that one day he will get free.

B) A bit more out there.... Pete. His entire fall to darkness being because of him being locked in Minnie's magical time out corner after causing problems (and trying to personally remedy them) in Disney Town to be seen as a hero, even just for one day. It sounds a bit out there, but... I just see him being played as a mirror between Sora and Riku and his personal relationship with Mickey (and Goofy). In varying ways, he's been a damn profficient fighter and... something just makes me think he'll end up being one of the 7 of light.

To me the port is just taking the base Wii U game, add the DLC and a few new stages and bam, a NX port.

That's all I want. All those new characters BS is for the legit Smash NX game

This one is just beefing up the NX launch with an older but popular game

We will still have our original Smash game but we'll have two Smash games this generation

It'll be like this:

• Smash for NX
• Smash 7 (AKA the newest Smash)

I should know. I've seen this multiple times

profficient fighter

I don't think I ever took any damage in any Pete fight. He was a better Melon Ball player than a fighter

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Most of the people who want a smash NX port just want more characters.When in reality its a good business idea to port one of the biggest fighting games and one of your biggest games on a dying console on a new console in which it can do better.I think were getting a port,with two characters(in particular inklings and ice climbers), some stages and thats it.Both sides of this argument(in general) is stupid.One side only wants this to be a thing so they can get there fan favorite in,which is stupid thinking, and the other side,feels that it isnt fair that they already spent around 100 dollars on this game,and feels a port with more content with rip them off,while fair,seems to forget that Smash sales and that's just business

Was it solely your love for the character? Was it because you thought the moveset was interesting? Or, was it because you never thought it could actually happen. Last time, you set yourself up for disappointment SMX. You were getting excited at the thought of loads of characters you wanted being playable. Yet we didn't get those. You felt that Sakurai should have told us not to get our expectations up because Cloud was the most hypeworthy of them all or something like that. I, a Bayonetta fan would have NEVER genuinely expected her in a Smash game. Same applied for Mega Man. Yet when I saw those characters on screen, I couldn't believe my eyes. Same with Cloud, though I'm indifferent to Cloud as a whole due to my inexperience with FF. Expectations can be a major factor in hype or disappointment. And I have a question. Imagine IF we got a port, WITH dlc based solely on characters who scared high on the ballot...But they weren't what you wanted. How would you feel?

"Funniest and disappointing."
This is the series that's technically on a level crossover of Final Fantasy and Disney with the second numbered game released third and chronologically 5th and then 3rd numbered game is released and chronologically 8th.

Pete's fight in 358 was a damn challenge.

Anyways.
Xion won't happen.

Spoiler

When Sora impales himself with Soul Eater in Hallow Bastion, he didn't lose a heart traditionally, because... he, in a sense, had more than one, due to Ventus.

The blending of Ventus and Sora's hearts released created Roxas as a nobody and the remainder allowed him to retain sentience as a heartless, ultimately "patched" by his bond to Kairi.

Xion is that partial nobody that's a blend of Kairi and Sora, artificially constructed in body by Vexen for when Sora would fall in Castle Oblivion and ended up becoming more and more whole while Sora lost more and more in CoM. And come the end of 358, either Roxas or Xion needed to kill and absorb the other so that Sora, currently comatose in Castle Oblivion, can be made whole once more. And it is in fact Roxas (later Sora) being a vessel for the hearts of two fully fledged Keyblade Weilders that allows for the dual weilding Roxas which ultimately culminates in Master & Final Forms for Sora.

KH's plot is just about as bad as Inidigo Prophecy.

I was convinced by the fandom that Mega Man was awesome due to his being the closest thing to a unanimous newcomer request we've ever had, and due to that heavy requesting and the Henny Penny attitude of the fandom coming off as misguided I was really happy but not actually shocked.

Cloud and Bayonetta both left me in a state of shock at first that temporarily backslid into a state of irritation copying that of the current fandom attitude at the time, but I bounced back to neutrality soon enough and became happy about Bayonetta over a relatively short amount of time on the basis of the fact that upon research she seems like one of the most crazy awesome video game characters to ever have been brought into existence. Oh, and that her moveset, stage, and design details reflect that certainly doesn't hurt. And my Cloud indifference is for largely the same reason as yours.

And I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the ballot results weren't what I -OR THE VOCAL MINORITY- wanted. But hey, I only want Tails, so as long as I get my favorite veterans back I'm fine not getting what I want.

KH's plot is just about as bad as Inidigo Prophecy.

I had to read the spoilered part twice and I already knew half of it. I'm still not ure I understand 100% of it. KH plz

Xenahort wants everyone to be him and Man S-I mean Xemnas helps him, darkness exists and needs to be balanced with light, but Sora thinks darkness is spoopy so he reached in his pocket to get anything as a weapon. Good enough?

Xion and Roxas were both nobodies of Sora.
Xion dies and becomes one with Roxas so that Roxas can rejoin Sora and allow Sora to be whole again.

My post, 9 minutes ago, your post, last edited: 5 minutes ago. I have a question for everyone in this thread. Why were you happy you got Cloud, Mega Man, and/or Bayonetta? Was it solely your love for the character? Was it because you thought the moveset was interesting? Or, was it because you never thought it could actually happen. Last time, you set yourself up for disappointment SMX. You were getting excited at the thought of loads of characters you wanted being playable. Yet we didn't get those. You felt that Sakurai should have told us not to get our expectations up because Cloud was the most hypeworthy of them all or something like that. I, a Bayonetta fan would have NEVER genuinely expected her in a Smash game. Same applied for Mega Man. Yet when I saw those characters on screen, I couldn't believe my eyes. Same with Cloud, though I'm indifferent to Cloud as a whole due to my inexperience with FF. Expectations can be a major factor in hype or disappointment. And I have a question. Imagine IF we got a port, WITH dlc based solely on characters who scared high on the ballot...But they weren't what you wanted. How would you feel?

Regarding me saying i'm only having faint hope for Smash NX applies to both cases of having new characters and not having new characters. If it ends up being not the character I want then whatever I guess, wouldn't be the first time that they didn't make the cut. There's plenty of characters that I don't actively want but end up liking ().

As for my reactions to the characters you mentioned, I likedbecause of me being a big FF fan and whatnot and I was indifferent to for the most part. I didn't like personally but I at least respected the fact that she was the Ballot choice.

From what I understand, if you don't come out, you're not getting the hormones anymore lol

Guess that works as an incentive

Also, you only get to stop watching anime when you watch more than 2 episodes of Fourze dammit

Sorry to tell you this, but that ain't happening
Besides I'm too busy with "SAO but good", "Crappy Animation and Rushed Plot: Ace Attorney" and "Teenager that looks 30 ****ing punches everything"

So, while at work.
I... came up with a bit of theorizing with KH3.

Spoiler

So, it's been hammered in between the ending "arc" of DDD and Nomura's actual words about the game that it's gonna be the big finale for the "Xehanort saga" and heavily focus on the 7 of Light; 13 of Darkness.

The latter of course being the varying entities of Xehanort himself and the former being the keyblade wielders to stop him.

But with that, we leave ourselves with only 5 of light so far.
Sora, Riku, King Mickey, Kairi, and most recently... Lea.

And of the remaining two, one of them has to be Aqua. The full ending for BBS and up-playing from Re:Coded and such really plays up her return. Her ending a path from the realm of darkness to the Shore Between with what remains of Ansem the Wise by all means should leave has a "fair game" for a return.

For the second, in my eyes there are two major options.

A) Terra is in some part "saved" from Xehanort and freed to retaliate. We /were/ left with his sentient armor and him swearing to Xehanort that one day he will get free.

B) A bit more out there.... Pete. His entire fall to darkness being because of him being locked in Minnie's magical time out corner after causing problems (and trying to personally remedy them) in Disney Town to be seen as a hero, even just for one day. It sounds a bit out there, but... I just see him being played as a mirror between Sora and Riku and his personal relationship with Mickey (and Goofy). In varying ways, he's been a damn profficient fighter and... something just makes me think he'll end up being one of the 7 of light.

Option two would be really neat to see and I'd be down for it, it could work quite well!
