Topic: Super Smash Bros. for NX?

I want to make it very clear right from the start of this thread: I'm not speculating about a sequel to the current games, especially since they've only been out for less than a year. I'm not that cray cray I promise

That being said, there's no denying that the series is a massive success, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is probably the closest it's gotten to a "magnum opus". It really seems like Sakurai did everything he could to make this game the best it could possibly be - amazing graphics, tight gameplay, strong online, 8 PLAYER SMASH!, an incredible roster (minus the Ice Climbers, more on that later). There's just one problem - those last three words - "for Wii U". No one can deny that the Wii U has been far from successful, and it's really held a lot of people back from enjoying this iteration of Smash apart from the 3ds.

If the NX is a new HD console, I could easily see Nintendo releasing Super Smash Bros. very early on it as a "third version" to the 3DS and Wii U versions, a la Pokemon. There's very little denying the potential of Smash as a system seller to those who weren't sold on the Wii U version, and as the "Emerald version" of the group, there could be the possibility of adding things that the original pair didn't get. We already know the Ice Climbers could technically work on Wii U, so it's not too much of a stretch. In addition, the stage roster could contain the best of both games (I tend to prefer the Wii U version's stages but there are a few that stand out on the 3DS like Magicant, Rainbow Road, etc.) as well as new stages inspired by new franchises - Splatoon perhaps? Hopefully there would be a way to get all our DLC free or at a generous discount if we already purchased it for the previous versions.

Part of me doesn't want this necessarily to happen as I did invest a lot in the Wii U specifically for this game, but the businessman in me sees it as a very real possibility. What do you guys think?

I think if the NX doesn't have backwards compatibility then we'll get a remaster of the Wii U version that's identical in all ways except graphics. If it does have backwards compatibility then I think the Wii U version will just be promoted as part of a "Wii U classics" range as if the NX is to be successful then most of its owners will not have played the Wii U version.

Less than a year...
So...

Why did you revive a old thread?

facepalm
It's less than a year old, and the mods keep saying to check to see if there are any other threads before posting a new one.

I think I might start screaming like a banshee next time I see a new thread with 'NX' in its title...

You should check before creating a new thread. But you were not creating a new thread and there was already an active thread for this topic.

Calm down.

Wait I've just double-checked here and seen that this thread is over 6 months old. What the heck? :/ I am so confused :/ :/

EDIT: I think I get what you were trying to do here, but this thread was just another dumb 'what I think should happen' thread like the latest NX one that was created an hour or so ago. I'd say we should stick to the newer and mor activ one.

Let's keep it to the active Smash NX rumour thread like others have mentioned instead of reviving older ones, thanks.
