@SmoochyTea they will work just fine

@Razer Nintendo can't reduce digital costs without reducing physical costs. Relationships between publishers and retailers will be damaged if digital pricing is less than physical RRP which is why digital always costs the same or more than physical

Also I'm tired of people saying that games on the switch somehow get a pass to be 3 times more expensive than their counterparts just "because its portable" its ridiculous

I remember playing this ages ago on xbox live indie games, definitely the best thing I bought from that service.

Having a good wired pad is always great. If smash for switch comes out then this may be the best option as a controller (wired controllers are much easier than wireless at tournaments). I'll still be hoping for gamecube adaptor support but at least there is a good alternative now

I think a lot of the smash community get frustrated that despite smash games getting vast amounts more viewership for streams and a lot more entrants in tournaments, they always have much lower prizes than other fighting games because Nintendo doesn't support the game.

It's also worth noting that in most fighting games (so arms and pokken will follow this, and smash already does) the tournaments will be open to anyone and everyone, not just pros. Despite this I highly doubt seeing Nintendo support the scenes for these games to any notable extent apart from running some strange tournaments with abstract rules and layouts

This is the most generous give away prize I've seen, even bigger than when it's big brand giving away a switch so kudos and thanks the the reader whos giving them away

@Loui APk protection has become a lot better by big companies, presumably nintendo will be able to have decent piracy protection

This is a rumour that was faked and has been debunked already

Beyond good and evil 2 kreygasm!!! If that happens it will make the console for me.

@ThomasBW84 Might be worth mentioning Smash the Record 2016, charity stream playing fun and competetive smash melee, wiiu, brawl and 64. Happening right now
Current WiiU stream https://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp2
Current melee stream https://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp

Anyone know if the display is a touchscreen?

@HappyMaskedGuy did you know trophy hunting is the no.1 source for wildlife protection and single handedly funds the paychecks of rangers who defend from hunters? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUA8i5S0YMU

sorry to bring this up again aha just thought it might be interesting to know, also didnt meant to ride a high horse was just expressing my opinion sorry if it came across that way

@HappyMaskedGuy Pretty sure they kill the animals to make money. Think how many animals dies while Europe and the USA became the 1st world areas they are now, until we provide Africa with a solution to their poverty we can hardly complain that some of their people are trying to make a living.

flipnote, guess it isnt a game though

intel CPUs are supported? my ASUS zenfone has one and it works great

RIP

@nacho_chicken THIS, theres a guy named borp who uses no tech but still bops good players

@Nintendude789 oh my lord you obviously never played melee

@Spooj mewtwo buffs? why/ he has had 3 major buffs and is now top 15 at least, maybe top 10.

I'd like bayos side b in the air have a little more lag if it doesn't connect. apart from that there are a load of low tiers who could do with buffs and its likely to be a raffle who gets some, im personally holding out for a duck hunt duo buff.

@happylittlepigs Yeah, there might be some friendly setups but otherwise you normally talk and wait for your next game during pools (pools is where everyone is playing tournament games) then after that setups can be used for friendlies. Usually 4 or 3 people will chat and play rotation at a friendly setup.

@happylittlepigs in a local, you only need 1/4 setups as people

EDIT: having gone to many smash (melee and WiiU) and MvC3 (marvel) tournaments, its rare that there are 1/3 as many setups as people and 1/4 is the norm.

my worry is that the game doesnt feel competetive enough to me, but i guess it might just feel to slow for me.

nice to see loads of faces from smash tournaments i know, Hawx and G~P ayyy

waiting for android release...

its amazing, but with that price ill stick to dolphin

MELEE HD PLZ SAKURAI

this was a big issue in monster hunter 3 for me

it looks amazing, but it is a little underpowered. It might still struggle with games like conkers bad fur day. In the end my phone has more power and the moga pro bluetooth controller does the job just fine.

@ShanaUnite well the guy must be a lot more intellegent than you think he is, he has started work on a wii u emulator. do people realise how strange the wii u architecture is?

looks like 2012 xbox 360

@Pahvi it doesnt have any character like the aformentioned games either, or solid mechanics.

@amiiboacid the PS4's thumbsticks are decent, WiiU's arent too far behind but the XBones feel like dirt. The gamecube controller though...mmm...

@amiiboacid gamepad is still terrible for games that require a lot of input. And the thumbstick feels nice, but is still not great for actual gameplay

Here's the deal, im involved in competetive smash (currently ranked top 100 UK so not amazing but okay) i have two friends who always visit me to play smash WiiU, but they dont have a WiiU despite playing at tournaments, why?

because the WiiU is too expensive.

For them to invest in a console for just a couple games (they arent interested in most nintendo stuff) is just too much money.

Maybe if there was a bundle with an GCadaptor smash and a wiiU 8gb for under £200 they would get a WiiU but currently the WiiU isnt worth it unless you are invested in Nintendo IP's

i might finally get it now

would have really liked to see this. seems like factor 5 have had a hard time.

i hope he can be as playful as Mr Iwata

@dronesplitter True, when the gamecube era came about a large amount of the talent in Rare left, pretty much all of the goldeneye/perfect dark team left to form free radical games (creators of timesplitters).

contrary to popular belief, microsoft actually gave Rare free reign most of the time, but nothing they made sold, so then microsoft stepped in and made them make kinect sports, we still have the great viva pinata games from the rare-microsoft era. as well as that, hopefully a new era of rare will start with Sea Of Theives (xbone+PC) which looks amazing.

3DS is the perfect system for this, but i already have it on PC so eh. Also i dont even have a new 3ds sooo

$1 million? thats insane for a game that has terrible balance!!! smash bros hardly picks up a $30,000 prize pool, and tournamens have been happening for melee for 14 years!!! this game doesn't even have LAN, dont get me wrong, its a good game, but it doesnt have the competetive depth that CS:GO, SSF, SSB or LOL has...

Phones these days are more powerful than the 3ds, by a very long way, also, keep in mind games like warioware touched that used exclusively touch controls, phone games can be good

also, this requires you to have a decent PC (heroes of the storm and smite), a PS4 or Xbone (destiny and Fifa) and a WiiU for smash, people dont have that money!!

@rjejr bro everybody who plays the game seriously calls it sm4sh or smash4 anyway

@Kaze_Memaryu people used to say that about the Wii controls, and the power, but Nintendo still made great games like Skyward Sword, that used the controls well, and also looked amazing

@ghostjoshu lol

@Dakt this is only software sales though, not hardware, so new consoles wouldn't affect data

@Uberchu It was in PC-gamer UK magazine and Edge magazine as PC and Xbone

@Achoo well, i wasn't from the Rare era, the first console i played was a GameCube, i have just played rare games on emulators. Its your opinion i guess, but you cant say battletoads wasn't amazing just because you dont like the genre, the game is still an outstanding brawler, i personally prefer Diddy Kong racing to the MK series, and i think it is a poor perspective to just expect every kart racer to have the same control style as MK, the controls are meant to be different. Donkey Kong country had amazing graphics for its time, and the same thing can be said about many old games that looked great back in the day.

@rp17 well, the damage nerf on the fair doesn't change knockback, so it combos the same, the d-tilt can still combo but its less consistent, sooooooooooooooo...

I'm certainly excited to see their next game, sea of thieves. Plus it is being released on PC, so i dont need to buy an xbox one!
