NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
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.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
The designer of the original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 shows us the prototype that started it all.
Kim writes: "Super Smash Bros. will not be shown at Evo 2022, this year's biggest fighting game event. The Sony-owned sports organization announced the loss of the platformer in a statement on Twitter today, and seemed to blame the decision on Nintendo, which has historically tried to control how their games appear in the wild."
In away this hurts Nintendo Smash Bros has some dedicated fans. What better way to help build hype and sell more of the game then showcasing it at EVO.
Man, what a relief.
*Phew*
Think I popped a few blood vessels. Thank you Nintendo. Although i'm afraid the damage might have already been done. But either way, really looking forward to the Stream. Hope the Smash community brings their A game like the KOF community did last year. Hype!
That was the shortest Nintendo-related internet meltdown I've ever seen.
Glad they did this.
Dear Nintendo, now is really not the time to be a**holes and piss people off. Get it together and don't let stuff like this happen again, it just damages your public image and you really can't afford that right now. I'm really happy for the Smash community right now!
Very good. Was real worried.
All the big web sites better report this/
