Forbes - Though the Super Smash Bros. series has always been about multiplayer mayhem, any good fighting game usually has a solid story mode. It's a single player excursion where players can get used to the characters against AI, and usually will have a story based on the character being played, with cutscenes highlighting particular rivalries with other fighters, team-ups and so on.
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.
I don't mind, whatsoever. As long as they polish the gameplay, and deliver another stellar multiplayer experience, I could care less about the cutscenes.
Not suprised. The story mode was very disjointed and never added much to the gameplay anyway.
I was actually upset at how much development resources was put into a single player mode in brawl that I didn't even find that fun, and never went back too once I completed it.
The story mode was a complete waste of dev time. Never bring it back.
Just make the level creator deeper and I will be happy!
I enjoyed the story mode in smash 64, the master hand was awesome. I didn't enjoy it as much in the newer games however, so its probably a good thing its going.
