Will the Mii Fighters return for Smash 5?

Well, what do you think? They don't appear to have as much relevance and popularity as back then (Especially on 3DS), and there is a slight chance that Nintendo's next consoles may not even have them at all! Will they still deserve a slot by next gen? :/

As long as the Miis stick around for Nintendo's next console then I see them staying.

Miis fill a role that no other character does: imitating someone who possibly has no relation to Nintendo or Super Smash Brothers and put them in the game.

Nah I don't really see Nintendo dropping the Mii's anytime soon. Especially since they where an idea Miyamoto had since the NES days (of course they weren't called Mii's back then) and they have been pretty successful too so I can see them sticking around on the next Nintendo consoles (or perhaps maybe get a few changes here and there) and thus also in Smash.

All while still being a Nintendo character.

Plus, they've become Smash's create-a-character mode, a common-ish feature in fighting games.

Technically, yes the Miis are Nintendo characters, but they are more of a faceless persona that can be made to fit the role of whom they are trying to imitate.

I don't seem them leaving Super Smash Brothers, unless Nintendo decides to drop them in their next consoles.

The real question is: will there be
a Smash 5?

I remember hearing someone say Sakurai said there's a 47% chance this will be the last Smash, but that someone is a Miiverse user...who heard it from another Miiverse user. :T

Actually now that i think about it im almost positive there will be another one.

Taking notes from the latest games on what could be used in Smash is a big part of being in the Nintendo fanbase. It would be a shame if we lost it.

I think it's a bit early to be talking about Smash 5 right now

miis are our digital selves so yes there will be miis in the next smash miis are basically Nintendo characters without being Nintendo characters

 

[Saikyoshi]

I don't see Miis being dropped, even though for some odd reason they (annoyingly, to me) seem to be the most generally hated characters in the game right now.
But putting them in's something Sakurai's wanted to do for a long time, and now that they have an actively-selling franchise of their own as Miis instead of just avatars in Tomodachi Life, that only reinforces it.

I think as long as Nintendo is making games. Smash Bros. will continue to have games with or without Sakurai directing them (They'll either find someone else themselves to direct the games, or at least have Sakurai choose someone he trusts when he officially retires. Because if he's done making Smash Bros., it's likely because he's ready to hang up his boots)

As for the Mii Fighters, it all depends if Miis are going to be used past the Wii U & 3DS generation. Which I think is likely at this point. I don't see Nintendo shutting down all the Mii related games just based on the success that they've brough, and especially since the Miis are responsible for bringing a new demographic that Nintendo really wants to keep loyal to their products. And as long as Miis are popular amongst this crowd as well as used by Nintendo. Then Mii Fighters are likely going to remain as characters for as long as new Smash games are being made. They are Nintendo's property. So they perfectly fit anyway.

Not as relevant as back then on the 3DS...



The game hasn't even come out yet and yet you're already saying "back then"

And no, I'm positive they'll stick around.
