It is very odd indeed. This whole SSB4 thing has been weird. I mean, to the huge reveal of mega man, to the casual reveal of sonic, to them not speaking of Namco very much. It just seems very laid back for a AAA game if that makes sense. If I wasn't on this forum, I would've missed all the news because it isn't making headlines.
Right, not to mention there are absolutely no patterns to follow regarding news. And even when it comes character announcements at game releases, since Sonic was shown much earlier than his expected announcement. Perhaps the game is still in much earlier development than most people thought? To be honest Nintendo in general has been pretty secretive with game news, from X and Y, to Smash, and even to all the other ninety-thousand games they haven't given us much information about besides the fact that they are in development (*cough cough Yarn Yoshi).
This makes too much sense.
Well Nintendo has made some crazy calls recently. I trust Nintendo but the way the gaming industry has changed for the worse over the past few years, I always exercise caution lol But I know where you are coming from.
Actually them being the developers was a secret until the "Iwata Asks" dealio a few weeks before Brawl was released.
Exactly. Nothing Namco Bandai owns has been shown, or is in the game (one or the other).
This is another reason, too. Remember guys, the original Brawl Dojo was up from May 2006 to about July 2007. It got replaced by the current Brawl Dojo in July of 2007, and then the site included a lot more, although it was rebuilt(ish) from the ground up.
And now Marth's is in it's there.
I don't really thinks that has nothing to do with it. It's not like a simple detail of the game like the name of the stages is missing. The name of the company DEVELOPING the game is missing. That is certainly strange.
Yeah, this is exactly why I don't understand how people can see this game coming out in Q4 next year. Personally, I doubt this game will be bad, but for people who will find that they don't like it will be very disappointed it didn't live up to their expectations. Nintendo really needs to release this as soon as possible if they want to move more Wii U's.
They probably requested that they not be put on the site that way instead of it looking like they're trying to steal thunder from Nintendo, but instead just doing them a favor until the game actually comes out. If they don't have their name in the credits then I can see it really being an issue of importance.
