Masahiro Sakurai has said the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros was the starting point for the new games in the series. According to Sakurai, creating a handheld version of Nintendo's brawler will evolve the series as simply adding more content wouldn't be enough to differentiate it from Brawl and Melee.
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.
3D is a visual gimmick, it has no relevance to gameplay mechanics. So I call BS on this statement, unless it's about re-working the camera on Brawler-style games to focus more on individual player characters rather than the whole group.
Most people will disable the 3D so its not going to innovate the game. It's a great game without the 3D.
Shows Nintendo thought process and I have to agree a bigger roster and more arenas is not what ALL you want. We can easily play Brawl and keep it moving.
I like that they want to innovate and look further. Otherwise whats the point?
This is yet another reason that Nintendo's name just simply = quality.
So in my mind:
WiiU: better visuals, better online, better control options(?)
3DS: no load times, portable, 3D,
I feel like I'm missing something here, it's hard to choose.
will the 3ds version be 60FPS? It looked to be 30 in the trailers
