IGN:
With Mega Man announced, fan speculation has gone through the roof about what other third party characters might make their way to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. Of particular interest is whether Namco Bandai characters, like the cast of Tekken, Pac-Man or the Tales RPG series, will be prioritized, since the two Smash Bros. games are being developed by an all-star team of Namco developers. That answer, according to series creator Masahiro Sakurai, is "no."
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'd like to see Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia, especially with ToS HD remasters coming out soon.
I would've loved to see Klonoa.
Lloyd and Pac-Man from NB, I'd say. Yoshimitsu would be cool but unlikely.
so capcom won't do anything with the megaman franchise but will whore him out to nintendo. how disappointing.
Holding out for Goku. Come on Namco Bandai you can do it.
