Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

@AlternateButtons Once again with the "grow up". Apparently you just can't present your opinion (which is an opinion that I do acknowledge as having some points) without throwing in some kind of insult. I really have no reason to have a discussion with you over my opinion when all you're going to do is lob insults.

The 3ds game had a better classic mode.

I remember all the extra modes in the 3ds game quite well. I enjoyed them.

On the WiiU version, I basically only remember the main multiplayer mode. It's actually kinda sad.

I mean really, with the power of the Switch and the time development, what can they really do in a sequel. Not much unless they add something drastically different. At the end of the day we just mostly end up playing the regular multiplayer game. Smash 4 wasn't even that different minus the actual engine and new stages and characters (which they can just do DLC for).

What would Smash 5 would radically offer than a DX Port?

In my eyes, there not too much to add for a 5th smash game at this stage.

A 2018 release yet only a logo/teaser is shown? Similar to Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Switch I have a feeling this announcement was rushed out to appease the fans and buy Nintendo more time.

Having said that, whether port or new, this - along with the other two games mentioned above - should contribute to a cracking E3 for Nintendo (and it's about blooming time).

My main concern tbh, is that Nintendo is running out of actually exciting new characters.

Outside of 3rd party, maybe Arms and Ridley, I'm not sure what's left that people were get that excited about. Isaac from Golden Sun maybe?

(and yes, I can think of dozens of Nintendo characters I'd love to see, but most of them wouldn't interest most people)

Who wants to guess which characters will be cut.

@kkslider5552000 I mean they kind of grew the roster at an unsustainable rate, so that was to be expected.

They could always introduce a mechanic to fuse two characters together.

@kkslider5552000 If it is a port, Isaac from Golden Sun is pretty much the only character they could add that would make me buy the game.

As much as I've wanted to see him all of these years, my wallet is safe.

maybe they'll combine Zelda and Sheik again because that's the better idea and they don't have to worry about the 3DS being weak

Yes! They should totally bring back Break the Targets! ..and the Subspace Emissary! ..and that strangley addictive hit-something-as-far-as-you-can-with-a-baseball-bat mini-game!

If the next smash is pretty much the same base game as the WiiU version, with those thrown in (and some new characters, 'cos why not!) - I'll be a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very happy fella!

@kkslider5552000 Well there's a ton of characters they can make unique movesets for though but... there aren't really characters people really want or know about... Though that's mostly what I like about Smash is when we get stuff like Duck Hunt Dog or Game & Watch.

Well, take a look at all the Nintendo games that have come out in the past 3-4 years.

@backup368 How long have those games been in development for though...

I kinda agree with Game and Watch but EVERYONE knows what Duck Hunt is. That's part of my point, they're really running out of exciting characters that non-hardcore Nintendo focused gamers know (and even a lot of them don't care about a lot of the most obscure characters). I mean, Kid Icarus isn't the most popular NES game but at least it had been around long enough and popular enough that being included in Brawl was a huge nostalgia bomb that everyone wanted. Golden Sun would be a good equivalent to that in a way. But even stuff like Drill Dozer or Startropics is kinda obscure by comparison.

Had HAL Lab. anything to do with the development of Smash 4?
It says Original Title: HAL Lab. at the end of the trailer. I thought it was only Sora and Bandai Namco that did Smash 4? So if it is indeed a port, that wouldn't be an original title.. Or not? I'm confused. It seems to me like this is a sequel. Hm..

@subpopz The Inklings, for one, and not just generic gun and bomb wielding characters that use their likeness.

@Blur_Escalation
I'm guessing that "original game" refers to "Super Smash Bros" on the N64, as I'm guessing that this game will also simply be titled "Super Smash Bros", thus further suggesting that it is an enhanced port of Smash 4, which is also called "Super Smash Bros". It will probably be the same game with new features, like a subspace emissary.

@kkslider5552000
I really don't think they need too many new characters, though guest characters like Shantae, shovel knight, spyro and crash would be enough to get people excited.

I think that they should put more work into the custom moves feature, and give characters multiple very different and very iconic moves. More like the mii fighters, which had very different alternative moves.

@kkslider5552000 No man I was agreeing with you, I just put Duck Hunt dog in there because I had nothing else to think of.
