Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I thought I finished 3rd pretty much every time last night 😂. Im almost positive. You guys are pretty good though, we need to do a 4 player battle with ReaderRF next time. That'll be some good fun. Knowing full well that'll be I'll be finishing dead last every time haha

ReaderRF crushed me every time, including one round with Jigglypuff. I respect Jiggly, but there’s something particularly troubling about watching Bowser getting slapped up by a singing, pink ball.

Hahaha yea he's really Good, crushed me with jiggly and mii sword fighter of all characters hahah.

You don’t play around with RR’s Fishstick. That’s a run for the money every time. I’ve been close with my Skullkid, but never won.

@ReaderRagfish I am become death, the destroyer of Smash

Banjo and Kazooie look awesome, but its just cheap Microsoft promotion. They should have shown a new Banjokazooie on Switch, but of course that's not in development. A shame!!

trailer starts
Me: ...Why is King K. Rool's trailer being shown again?
sees a Jiggy roll by
Me: ...Oh.

Also yeah, that trailer was funny.

So about "The Hero" (will I get into trouble for just calling him Bill?)..

So about Bill.. trying to grasp the concept here. Do we have now 4 different Bills who each of them have their own unique 4 specials as moves taken from the RPG games? I guess they work in one slot, and depending of which Bill you choose, you automatically choose the moveset?

Or.... and please let it not be true.... are the 4 moves random pick?

*also sidejiggy: yeah I literally jumped up and down like a Donkey Kong for Banjo's reveal. 15 years of pure craving finally laid to rest. That. was an epic thrill.. Thanks Nintendo <3

@Henmii Is it, though? Is it really a shame to include a character from the N64 hayday that not only had two Nintendo console games, but two Nintendo handheld games, and was a character in Diddy Kong Racing? Banjo-Kazooie also sold 3.6 million copies, which is almost half of Ocarina of Time, an #10 on the best-selling N64 titles. He's kinda relevant

I get that you (and plenty folks!) would rather it be a 'spot' for someone that has a new Nintendo game, but that's just as much of a promotional thing then. I think it's great that Banjo is coming, because hopefully more arrangements could be made regarding the Rare catalogue

@HobbitGamer,

I just still feel painful about the fact Rareware went to Microsoft years ago. This just screams: You can have our characters in Smash, but you won't get our games on Switch har har har. This just dampens my excitement, even if the reveal was very cool!

"I think it's great that Banjo is coming, because hopefully more arrangements could be made regarding the Rare catalogue"

It does give a glimmer of hope, but a very, very tiny one! Rare replay would be appreciated. Everything on the card though!

@Bankaj It's the same character with different skins, just like Bowser Jr. There's also more than just 4, they showed every Dragon Quest Hero, from 1-9 and even a Spin-off one, if I recall correctly.

@Henmii Oh, I hear ya! Rare games were great for me because for a long while my parents adhered to to the ESRB since they were buying them. So Jet Force Gemini was the only shooter I had for awhile and it was even a stretch 😂 Good memories with Rare.
I think there could be more at play going on, especially with Spiral Mountain still being and Nuts & Bolts but appearing as the Smash stage along with Grunty.

It’s time to get Jiggy and enjoy!

Yeah, Banjo and Kazooie are perfectly legitimate seeing as they’re on a Nintendo platform (they were one of the N64’s signature exclusives). Much better than another PlayStation-only character.

: DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

is my only real reaction

my words
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and what will top it erevything is diffentent now

@CanisWolfred From what I understood, it's only the heroes from DQ 3, 4, 8, and 11 that are playable. The other 7 (the heroes of DQ 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10) are just a part of the final smash.

I'm probably the only person around here more excited for the DQ Hero than Banjo (who I honestly couldn't care less about), but I'm glad he's in for all who wanted him.

@RR529 Kinda the flip for me. I played the first DQ but it didn’t stick. But Banjo was my man. Got a backpack as a preorder bonus from Montgomery Wards, player guide from Prima, and went on to 100% the game before I opened the book. My friend and I tried all the early internet methods of unlocking the stop n swap, we played with my Gameshark Pro, great times. I can’t wait to use my old friends in the arena.
But I’m glad DQ fans got something cool, too 😂

With the return of Dharkon in the DQ Hero trailer, I wonder if 4.0.0 adds new content to World of Light.

Aight, I'm late but: B A N J O - M O T H E R G U H - H U K I N - K A Z O O I E
also the hero looks interesting, an actual turn-based mechanic for an rpg character
