Wouldn't Super Meat Boy need to be on Wii U or 3DS before that will happen though?

PopRocks3594063d ago

I'm confused too, I thought a game character had to be on a Nintendo platform before they could even be considered.

Maybe they're porting the game to the Wii U/3DS eShop?

darthv724063d ago

was at one time in the process of being published for release on the wii by nintendo but it was canceled.

They could still have some type of contractual connection to the character.

DonteDemonSlayer4063d ago

Of course an indie dev would like to see that, but the game isn't even on the WiiU/3DS. And they certainly haven't done anything for Nintendo to deserve it. If any character did it would be Travis from No More Heroes, in which SUDA expressed he would love to see him on a smash title. It's a shame he won't, even after having the game be exclusive to the console for some time until Konami ported it to the ps360.

lizard812884063d ago

Well, Suda is friends with Sakurai. That is how Snake got in.

I would love to see him too, Plus he is the most prominent 3rd party new IP wii game.

Meat Boy isn't worthy.....he's cool and the game is good but there are probably 20 more deserving characters.

n4f4063d ago

i dont want this character in smash bros but that is just me other people have other opinion

Quadraxis4063d ago

Ridiculous, Commander Video would be in Smash Bros. before Meat Boy.

secretcode4063d ago

...Honestly, out of all the "outsider" suggestions I've seen people suggest, that one makes the most sense. Good on you.

Jadedz4063d ago

You can only imagine all the, ''spanked by meat'' references.

Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.

NotoriousWhiz338d ago

You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.

gerbintosh338d ago

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d ago

because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.

CrimsonWing69338d ago

@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21

I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.

When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.

Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.

Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…

Immagaiden338d ago

What’s next, you gonna say Mario Kart isn’t a racing game?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d ago

oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .

Immagaiden338d ago

I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?

What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?

repsahj338d ago

"Only kids and kids at heart check for mario kart and smash".

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter

PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter

gleepot338d ago

You're correct, it isn't traditional. It's a fighting game though.

repsahj338d ago

Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.

Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.

NotoriousWhiz338d ago

I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.

MrNinosan338d ago

"and here's how it competes against other fighters"

No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d ago

Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.

NotoriousWhiz338d ago

I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.

Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.

PapaBop338d ago

While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.

Thundercat77338d ago

And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.

Immagaiden338d ago

Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB

Ezio2048338d ago

Given the volume of games released, I would say Tekken has sold the best.

lodossrage338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.

Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?

With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?

With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?

There are a lot of variables at play here

Ezio2048338d ago

Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.

CS7338d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.

Aven Colony (Xbox One/Xbox Series)
Super Meat Boy (Xbox 360)

RpgSama692d ago

This is just plain sad, they are basically charging you for online and that's it, I guess this goes hand in hand with the "tell me you only play AAA games without telling me you only play AAA games"

Both Gamepass and Gold games offerings have gone way downhill.

autobotdan692d ago

Super Meat Boy was a Games with Gold title back in 2016..It's leftover Meat from 2016

Eonjay692d ago (Edited 692d ago )

So then GWG is like Spam.
And yes that was a double entendre.

franwex692d ago

I actually really enjoyed Aven Colony when it was on Gamepass. I got it for free from Epic Store a few months back.

I’ll give it another go.
