Yeah something like that. They should also just copy Persona's school mechanics when off-duty. Such as letting you hang out with the side cast such as Mina, Momo, Todoroki, Denki, Toga, and Shigaraki with Social Links.
They'd likely need to come up with an original story. Maybe our custom character has a rare quirk that both the heroes and villains want to take for themselves or something and we have to choose a side like Fire Emblem Fates/Three Houses.
I feel bad for anyone who thought Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain would fare better after Square sold them off to Embracer. They're just crashing and burning so hard at this point.
It reminds me of that one part of Megamind:
"We're saved!"
"I wouldn't say that. More like...under new management."
Lego DC Supervillains with MHA is basically what we want here. That game lets you make your own custom villain with powers on an original story. As you fight alongside The Joker, Lex Luthor, and Reverse-Flash. Something like that in MHA at UA High would be perfect. Just copy Persona's school system and Lego's customization.
Hopefully Namco considers doing something like that someday. All we can do for now is support the MHA game releases that are here.
@Joeynator3000 If it helps, I think this will be fun because it reminds me a lot of Spellbreak which was a magic-based BR that felt super fun with its unique mechanics.
I'm glad we have the Tour tracks preserved in 8 Deluxe so we can still play on them even after Tour shuts down. Nintendo is finally starting to preserve their content for a change.
As a Daisy fan, I'm very happy to see her make her debut in a fully-fledged console 2D Mario game for the first time. I've always liked her best and that's who I intend to play the whole game with! 🌼
I was sold the moment I knew Daisy was fully playable. But the badge system with unique passive abilities will offer even more ways to play the game and I'm excited.
Considering they were likely going to be merged into Gearbox, I see why they were shut down. Embracer Group likely didn't want the horrid quality of Saints 2022 to infect the devs behind Borderlands so they'd rather delete the studio entirely.
I'm really excited to see Shao no longer be Kahn and instead be General Shao. Hopefully his character will be taken in a better direction after the horrid state he was in during 11.
I just hope they scrap the awful chapter system and just let us play as whoever is involved in the current situation. Chapters hurt both gameplay and story by not giving the player a proper tutorial on the full roster and never letting us play as villains which makes them feel weak in the story.
@stinkyx While I am a bit disappointed that this trailer didn't even reveal any new Kameo Fighters, I genuinely don't want Kronika to return. She was awful.
Personally I'm satisfied. I got Daisy, Byleth, Kazuya, and Pyra/Mythra so I don't really have much room to want anything else. My favorite game characters are already here.
Really hoping we get a gameplay and graphical trailer for the Switch version soon. With Saber (Witcher 3) working on it, I'm excited to see how well it turns out compared to MK11 on Switch.
This actually tracks well. Remember Satoru Iwata actually took a cut to his own pay during the horrid Wii U era to ensure there wouldn't be any extra layoffs to the employees.
Nintendo isn't perfect, but they do seem like the best gaming conglomerate to work for.
@Takoda Nia and Mio have a much deeper tone thanks to the accents of their VAs. Trust me when I say that catgirl (and a lot of female animal characters) sound extremely high-pitched and cringey in most other JRPG and anime dubs because of the overuse of American VAs. Welsh VAs are a nice change of pace.
I could've sworn I heard Cassandra Lee's (Sothis in Fire Emblem and Morgana in Persona) voice in that trailer.
Regardless, as a Naruto fan that didn't get into Boruto, this looks pretty interesting. A 5th Ninja War is a neat idea and I wish they gave us this trailer first.
I'm just super glad the Xenoblade series (barring XCX) was dubbed in the UK. Can you imagine how generic and cringey an American accent would sound on catgirl characters like Nia and Mio? And this is all because Nintendo of America refused to localize the original Xenoblade so it was up to Nintendo UK to handle it instead. Thank goodness.
And I'm speaking as an American here. JRPG/Anime dubs could do with a lot more variety with their English translations and I'm super glad Nia and Mio sound the way they do because of it. They're iconic and stand out.
@martynstuff That makes sense. No MK game since MK2 has even released over there for this reason.
Meanwhile we're fully on board with decapitation and all forms of gore so it's likely a cultural difference. The West hates sexualized content whereas the East/Japan doesn't mind it as much for example.
@Tempestryke I guess it's because it's hyperrealistic violence which is why they dislike it. Japan makes gory manga/anime but feel Mortal Kombat is too much for them.
It's also banned in China and Indonesia. While we love graphic violence in the West, the East seems to hate it. Nintendo was never going to add a character to Smash from a series their employees aren't allowed to play.
Honestly I never got the hate for this game. There's dozens upon dozens of indie pixelated platformers, farming sims, and Mother/Earthbound-like RPGs out there yet somehow everyone loses their minds when we get a mere 2nd rubberhose/1920s cartoon style game.
Cuphead didn't invent this art style. I want more creative games like this over generic pixel games. I'm excited for this.
@EarthboundBenjy As I said in another comment, this is exactly what happened when EA put PVZ BFN on Switch. They knew they had messed up and paid the price for having MTX in a game that already demanded full price of its players. So the Switch version removed all of the MTX that were present in the other versions because they knew the community wouldn't fall for it again after the initial backlash they recieved.
It's a win for us. These companies are finally starting to feel the pushback from these games failing and have to concede to the consumers.

Re: Take-Two CEO Defends Red Dead Redemption's $50 Price Tag, Says It's "Commercially Accurate"
Such an old game with no new features and the removal on online modes isn't worth (nearly) full price. I'll wait for a sale.
When Capcom brought Devil May Cry 3 to Switch, they went the extra mile and incorporated new mechanics from DMC4/5 and didn't charge full price.
Rockstar could do better.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Fans Aren't Happy About Rockstar's "Lazy Port"

Re: Random: Mortal Kombat Co-Creator Knows Who He'd Add To Smash Bros., If Nintendo Was To Ask

Yup. Literally none of the games are sold in Japan officially. If you look at Wikipedia, you will see no Japanese release dates.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_surrounding_Mortal_Kombat
It's also banned in China and Indonesia. While we love graphic violence in the West, the East seems to hate it. Nintendo was never going to add a character to Smash from a series their employees aren't allowed to play.
Re: Random: Mortal Kombat Co-Creator Knows Who He'd Add To Smash Bros., If Nintendo Was To Ask
MK is banned altogether in Japan so Nintendo would likely never add a character from this series to Smash unfortunately. Would be cool though.
