I'll be frank - I think Ultimate's online structure craps on Smash 4's. Smash 4 focused way too much on appealing to competitive players, making it super rare for me to ever play it with other people with items and stages on (without a nonsensical 2 minute time limit for a KO-only session, mind you).
Because the user preferences constantly clash in Ultimate, a series of matches can form in all different ways, delivering me the variety I desperately craved in Smash 4.
There are so many details I appreciate about the games that even if something isn't there, the sheer amount of effort put into something else that is makes up for it.
Even for something as mundane as the announcement of a new character, they treat it like something much bigger. So then as a result...it feels like it. The choreography, the animation, the detail....it's all phenomenal.

Re: Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka Wants To Remake Sonic Adventure
I'm down for that. I love playing the game as Sonic, but I can't deny how incredibly rough SA is.
Also it'd be lovely having it on Switch.

Notice how they haven't been hiding the characters behind silhouettes.
Re: Dive Into The Unknown When Mobile Hit Downwell Arrives On Switch In January
I'm sure some people on here are going to dismiss it because it has "mobile" in its association.
Does look rather fun.

Re: Arcade Archives Donkey Kong Jr. Is Swinging Onto A Switch Near You This Week

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Says There's No Correct Way To Play Super Smash Bros.

Re: Mario Kart Arcade GP DX Adds Lakitu To The Race Lineup
@SetupDisk The arcade games are fun if just for how different they are. But they definitely aren't the console experiences.
Re: Gunman Clive HD Collection Returns On 17th January For A Bargain Price
$4?! Daaaaang! Wasn't that the price for just one of them before?

Re: Joker From Persona 5 Joins The Battle As The First DLC Character In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

But you know what? Some of the facts here are rather surprising.

Re: The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame Announced For Nintendo Switch, First Screenshots Shared
@MH4 Granted, but...I dunno. That seemed lame in comparison.

Re: Pokémon Let's Go Was The Fourth Best-Selling Product This Black Friday According To US Report
I honestly thought I wouldn't buy this game. I wasn't impressed with it at PAX.

Re: You Can Download The Katamari Damacy Reroll Demo Right Now From The Japanese Switch eShop
And they aren't doing it this soon for the NA eShop why?
The full game will get creamed by Smash Bros., no question.
I will be using my Japanese account to download the demo, though.
Re: Sakurai Describes The Creation Of Each Smash Bros. Game As A "Miracle"
There are so many details I appreciate about the games that even if something isn't there, the sheer amount of effort put into something else that is makes up for it.
Even for something as mundane as the announcement of a new character, they treat it like something much bigger. So then as a result...it feels like it. The choreography, the animation, the detail....it's all phenomenal.

Nah, but really. This looks alright.
